Sex is as old as humanity itself, necessary to our continuation as a species, perhaps even to what makes us fundamentally us. We’re talking, of course, about inventing new stuff. Jeez. Get your mind out of the gutter.
Actually, there is no question that sex has evolved along with technology, from condoms to Romance-Machines to sexting. So, how will our sex lives be different in a year? Or in 10 years? Or in even 20 to 30 years? We can’t be absolutely certain.
Guys Could Have a (Non-Condom) Birth Control Option
A new injection that acts as a temporary vasectomy for men, won’t protect against STDs — but in trials with baboons, it had 100% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. The technology could be “on the market in 2016-2017,” but for those of you who can’t wait (and don’t mind a needle in a very sensitive area), human trials “start in early 2015.”
In related news, the days of girls exclusively being the ones who have to remember to pop a pill may soon be drawing to a close. Researchers in Indonesia have reportedly discovered that Justica gendarussa, a plant that’s common there, is 99% percent effective as birth control for men. It doesn’t alter male hormones, and may even increase libido. Don’t expect it stateside in the immediate future, but eager dudes could seek it out in Indonesia this year (although, we don’t recommend it).

More couples will stay intimate at a distance with smartphone-controlled intimacy gadgets
The old version of phone intimacy was always a little ridiculous, but “teledildonic” devices such as We-Vibe (along with its We-Connect app) and OhMiBod allow partners to create pleasurable vibrations from afar. These days, distance can make more than the heart grow fonder.

Condoms will be totally different
Last year, Microsoft founder Bill Gates donated $100,000 to Australian researchers to develop a “next-generation condom … made to act and feel more like real skin.” Gates hopes that this “hydro gel” will feel completely natural and thus encourage more guys to practice safe sex. There is no estimated time of arrival to market on this Australian wonder condom, but Gates also has 10 other prophylactic prototypes in development. One of them has to change the game in the coming decade, right? This is Bill Motherf—ing Gates, after all!

Unhappy with your joystick? Get a new one!
Scientists at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine are currently growing manlinesses in laboratories. The technology doesn’t yet have FDA approval for human transplants — and will primarily be intended to help patients with traumatic injuries or diseases — but millions (billions?) of insecure guys are a pretty strong market incentive.
We’ll have telepathic long-distance sex
Yeah, those intimacy gadget smartphone apps are impressive now, but they’ll be old news in 10 years. Brain-reading technology, now being developed, will allow computers to scan your actual thoughts, feelings … and instructions.
As sexual clinician and author Robert Weiss prognosticates, “With a headband and a willing partner, those separated by distance because of work or school (or sheer laziness) will be able to merely think about stimulating their special someone and, viola … those thoughts become action.” All with no pube-trimming necessary. Will this really be going down within this decade? Well, according to Weiss, “If you think this isn’t happening in the near future, think again.” (A spinal cord stimulator can apparently achieve those results now, but requires surgery. No thanks!)

We may have “sex” with holograms of our favorite stars
Tupac’s resurrection via lifelike hologram at the 2012 Coachella Festival was chilling, not only because it allowed us to see the iconic rapper (kinda) alive once more, but because it ushered in an era of strikingly realistic holograms. Technology has already made interactive holograms possible. Considering that the proliferation of smart phone technology has caused the majority of porn watching to occur on mobile devices, it seems likely that within 10 years, our perverted minds will have bring this tech from the showroom to the bedroom and use these advances to help us simulate lifelike experiences with fantasy sex partners. It’s not cheating if it’s an optical illusion, right?
