Are robots programmed to understand your every desire the future of sex and intimacy? Sex toy designer Dr Judith Glover and writer Christine Bartlett join host Nadine Chemali to unpack themes inspired by the episode Philia, in this companion podcast to the SBS series Erotic Stories. This chat is explicit, and recommended for adults only.


A big problem with a lot of sex toys.. they're just sort of designed in these quite abstract ways. And not what we would call user centered design principles, where you ask, who's the person? What do they need?

The mental connection that people have, that is a version of eroticism. That's just another strand of it. And that is sexy.
