Robot Fetishism and Technosexuality aka "I'm in Love with an Actroid"

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

— March 13, 2007 — Unique
Technology is wonderful! It sprouts new and unusual interests, fetishes and fixations. Take for example Robot Fetishism and Actroid Love. These are just a couple of terms associated with love for a humanoid robot... or non-humanoid for that matter.

People are always on the look out for new and unusual attractions. Technology spawns new love affairs, obsessions and afflictions, only known to 21st century society.

Implications - Robot fetishism is also known as "ASFR or technosexuality" and can be defined not only as having a love for humanoid or non-humanoid robots, but also as "people acting like robots or people dressed in robot costumes." People who have robot fetishism often dream about being able to transform into a robotic being.
Trend Themes
1. Robot Fetishism - The trend of robot fetishism or technosexuality could lead to the development of more advanced and realistic humanoid and non-humanoid robots to satisfy this market.
2. Actroid Love - The trend of actroid love could lead to the creation of more customizable and personalized robots that can mimic human emotions and behavior to fulfill emotional needs.
3. Technosexuality - The trend of technosexuality or ASFR could lead to the development of new industries that cater to this market, such as robot-themed entertainment and robot-themed dating services.
Industry Implications
1. Robotics Industry - The robotics industry could capitalize on the trend of robot fetishism by developing more lifelike and realistic robots that cater to this market.
2. Entertainment Industry - The entertainment industry could create new experiences and attractions that combine robotics and human interaction to appeal to those with actroid love or technosexuality tendencies.
3. Robot-themed Dating Services - A new industry of robot-themed dating services could emerge to provide a platform for those with robot fetishism or technosexuality to find compatible partners who share similar interests.
