Posthuman Cyborg Love

Posthuman Cyborg Love is a research project exploring human-machine love and sexual relationships in the posthuman era. It examines the socio-bio-technical adaptation process, focusing on interactions with AI-powered love/sex robots and teledildonic devices. The study investigates how technology reshapes intimacy, challenging traditional notions of romantic love and the nuclear family. By analyzing the integration of machines into human sexuality, the project provides insights into the evolving dynamics of love, relationships, and emotional attachment in a digitalized world.
