A woman has revealed what it's like to 'get intimate' with a male sex doll as experts predict that AI in the bedroom will be normal within 25 years.
Karley Sciortino, 31, explored the doll's capabilities over a 20-minute session. The doll, Gabriel, was 5ft 9 inches with real pubic hair and his penis even had 'flaccid' and 'erect' options.
Sex columnist for both Vogue and Vice, Sciortino, said that it felt very real: "I feel like I am on a Tinder date.

"It feels weird because it is so lifelike but it enters this space which feels uncomfortable.
"It feels like a real person who can't respond to you."
In the documentary for VICE, she is shown having sex with the doll while describing how it feels. She says: "It feels absolutely indistinguishable from a real person except that I am completely in control.
"You can't have this experience having sex with a real person."

This might seem weird and a bit creepy now, but as recently as December experts were claiming that artificial intelligence in the bedroom will be the norm within 25 years.
Speaking at an international robotics conference, Dr Trudy Barber said that the machines would enable people to appreciate "the real thing" more.

While at the International Congress of Love and Sex with Robotics, she said: "It could be that we are so busy with our lives, we are so embedded in our technological narrative that the idea of engaging in long-distance sex and robot sex is actually a natural process in our evolutionary cycle.
"I think what will happen is that they will make real-time relationships more valuable and exciting."
