The Future Of Love feat. Roanne Van Voorst

Sex with robots. Dating avatars. Polyamory. Is this the future of love? Futurologist and anthropologist Roanne Van Voorst has the answers.

We discuss some of the topics in her new book, Six in a Bed: The Future of Love - from Sex Dolls and Avatars to Polyamory, and uncover the impact of technological advances on how we build relationships. We delve into the likelihood of everyone being non-monogamous in the future and explore research about why young people are having less and less sex.

It's also our FIRST BIRTHDAY as a podcast, so we kick off the show reflecting on the year that was.

Thanks so much to Roanne for joining us on the show. Check out her new book, find out about her other research at her website and listen to her radioplay (The Emic).
