There are more ways of connecting and communicating via technology than ever before. Yet loneliness is on the rise as we begin to experience an 'attachment crisis' in forming and maintaining intimate relationships.
Enter sex robots. Built from the bodies of sex dolls, they are created to help humans – particularly men – cope with our inability to connect. But what does the rise of sex robots tell us about the way that women and girls are imagined? And to what extent are porn, prostitution and child sexual exploitation driving the attachment crisis?

Join Professor Kathleen Richardson as she explores important questions surrounding this emerging technology.
