South Africa is about to become the latest of a small number of countries to introduce a law against ‘deepfake porn’. The Cybercrimes Bill is directed against revenge porn and, under that banner, covers photo shopped images and specifically deepfake porn.

According to a report in the Korea JoongAng Daily, South Korea is set to become the first country in the world to turn ‘deepfake porn’ into a sexual offence.

The extremist anti-porn lobby group – National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) – is stepping up its anti-fap efforts by pressurizing the CEOs of credit card companies to ban financial transactions linked to the adult industry.

A petition calling for the banning of the most visited adult site in the world – Pornhub – has met a stern and defiant response from the site’s owners. 300,000 people have already signed the petition, organized by a religious extremist outfit hoping to exploit concern over the tragic and isolated case of a 15… Read More »
Adult industry site XBiz has taken a look at the history of the war on porn in the USA.

If sex robots can be victims of unwanted sexual aggression, why not artificially cgi rendered fake social media influencers such as Lil Miquela?

Any future tech sex blogger with a brain cell knows that the spheres of ‘deep fake porn’, ultra-life like sex dolls and robots, virtual/augmented (XR) porn, and AI and facial recognition, are all coming together to create a perfect storm of ethical and legal conundrums. Enough to scramble the brains of any legislator, well-meaning or… Read More »
Adult industry news hub Xbiz published an interesting piece recently exposing how ‘The National Center On Sexual Exploitation’ morphed from being an ultra-conservative anti-porn group called ‘Morality In Media’ into a seemingly respectable NGO that the media quotes and politicians listen to on all things to do with ‘sex exploitation’ – from sex trafficking to… Read More »
I’ve showcased the software program for creating 3D animations ‘Virt-A-Mate‘ a number of times on this site.

Sex robots are pure click bait. They don’t even really exist yet (what we have are ‘smart sex dolls’) and are likely decades away in any meaningful form, yet online news sites are carrying stories about them nearly every day, and all because the public just can’t get enough of them. Even academics are finding… Read More »

Although the headline to the Daily Star article is a bit alarmist, it’s more than intelligent than you might expect and gives a nice little overview of the history of teledildonics.

I recently argued here that there’s a danger of ‘sex robot’ manufacturers deliberately making hysteric soundbites as regards the supposed possible dangers of their products, simply in order to get some clicks and media attention. It’s already backfiring in that South Korea has become the first, and very likely not the last, to come close… Read More »
South Korea is creeping ever closer to banning the sale and purchase of not only ‘sex robots’, but realistic sex dolls. Over a quarter of a million South Korean citizens recently signed a petition to have the dolls banned, thus passing the threshold whereby the proposal has to be considered by the government there. Although… Read More »
One of the more interesting articles on digisexuality appeared in the UK Metro paper a couple of months ago, I just came upon it recently.
