Cruising has resurged over the past decade, thanks in part to PrEP and Sniffies. But its future might look like something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie, according to journalist Leo Herrera, who followed up his hit book Analog Cruising (featured in our S1 episode “Cruising 101”) with a series of articles about how rapid advancements in AI technology may impact queer sex, cruising, and relationships. In our supersized season opener, Leo, Gabe and Chris vigorously debate the nuts, bolts, ethics and controversies over soon-to-be-ubiquitous things like synthetic companions, AI porn and yes, sex robots. Freaked out by the future? You’ll definitely want to listen to this episode.
