Don't be alarmed: in 50 years we won't have sex anymore

In the future, a lot is going to change. Also in bed. Because what do trend watchers say? Sex is going to disappear.

Yes, seriously. Okay, we still have to reproduce, but that’s it. Sex for fun can be done much better and more enjoyably through virtual reality in the future. Or with a robot. You will be able to feel the touches of someone who lives far away, through a special suit that you wear. They are called haptic suits and yes, they will definitely put you in the mood. Your memories through virtual reality will also seem incredibly real. That’s why it feels like you really had sex with someone.

A kind of next-level porn watching. Plus: you can participate in that movie where you are having sex with Justin Bieber. Or Michiel Huisman. Or whoever. You can decide for yourself, with such a space helmet on. It’s also a bit questionable whether something like that doesn’t quickly become cheating. Deliberately wanting to have a fling with that one actor or singer… Isn’t that on the edge?.

What will it become one day? Sex between man and woman is always a bit of a struggle. One often finds it more enjoyable and fun than the other, but through robots and glasses and devices, you will soon be able to have spectacular sex anytime. Seeing stars infinitely. It will always be completely hallelujah, because it will obviously be tailored to your personal wishes. Just, for your own bedroom. And then it might happen in 50 years that you and your partner are both ‘sexing’ with your own glasses on. No more being good with each other, but a bit next to each other. Modern, but secretly also a bit very strange. And quite unromantic.

We are going to experience it. And for now, it’s still wonderfully 2024, guys. No panic.
