Between insanity and love

Abstract

Technology has opened up more opportunities to find better partners, especially via online dating sites. In addition, technology related to love and sex currently goes far beyond online dating sites. Technology influences our intimate life more and more. Media started to pick up romantic relationship between human beings and digital characters often. Furthermore, today, many wearable devices to experience virtual sex have come into the market. And also robots designed for having a sex with human beings are being developed rapidly. Some might claim having a sex without love or without reproduction is just totally pointless. Or, having a sex with robots is totally "insane". But apparently there are big market needs, and modern technology seems to be able to satisfy them. This paper explores how it is possible for us to feeling love or sexual desire for non-organic objects by conducting the interview survey, and also considers why people want to have technology for satisfying sexual desire from a philosophical perspective.
