Sex is a pretty old concept, so to keep it fresh, we keep finding new ways and new tools to make our sexy times more enjoyable and also more successful in terms of reproduction (or lack-there-of). Bryony Cole is a sex expert – in a profesional context. She’s the voice behind the sex-positive podacast, Future of Sex, and she’s interviewed all manner of other intercourse experts, from technologists to scienetists and sex therapists.
Cole now tours globally talking about sex tech – all the gadgets and gizmos related to love-making – and forecasting sex tech trends for governments and businesses. For her Vivid talk, she’ll be discussing everything from sex toys to artificial intelligence for intercourse, fertility trackers, teledildonics (which is kind of like phone sex with physical stimulation) and crime-watch technology to prevent sexual assalts and harrassment.
You’ll need to shed any sex hang-ups or embrassament for the evening, as it promises to be a very open, frank discussion about sex-positivity and technological developments. And with the global sex tech industry estimated to be worth around $30 billion and evolving rapidly, it's a very important discussion to be having.
