<p>Ah, the medical professional fantasy: pretty mundane fodder for a generation reared on porn, but still immensely popular. Bedding a nurse is the <a href="http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/news/2006/aug/24_fantasy.html">number one fantasy</a> among men, in case you haven't been to a Halloween party in the past 25 years.</p>
<p>Now, some futurists are <a href="http://transhumanity.net/articles/entry/sexbots-will-satisfy-our-sick-fantasies">predicting</a> that robots will have a dual function in our impending utopian society: not only will they care for us when we're sick, but they'll also satisfy our sexual fantasies in the process.</p>
<p><!--more-->Transhumanity.net <a href="http://transhumanity.net/articles/entry/sexbots-will-satisfy-our-sick-fantasies">predicts</a> that medical robots will eventually come equipped with a program that allows them to use sex as a perk to help them stand out in the crowded marketplace. Why hire a doctor robot when you can hire a doctor robot with BOOBS?</p>
<blockquote><p>Imagine this, dudes. Your doctor who attends to your rectal health is a curvy she’bot who straps you face down with your legs spread for a prostrate exam and colonoscopy. After freshening the air with lime spray from her nipples, she divinely massages you, before gliding her slippery 18-inch techno-tongue into your anus.</p></blockquote>
<p>The nurse would eventually bring the patient to orgasm--mostly for medical reasons, of course! First <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/11/regular-orgasms-are-for-mortals-all-the-cool-kids-are-having-longevity-orgasms/">longevity orgasms</a> and now sexy doctor robots? No wonder transhumanists are so in love with the future. Though we have to admit, this whole thing sounds like it's rooted more in personal fantasy than scientific research.</p>
<p>It seems we may have a long way to go before we reach sexy nurses, though. The current iteration of robot nurses looks more like a cuddly teddy bear than something you'd want to let touch your intimate parts:</p>

<p>When last we checked in on the future of sex, transhumanists were <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/11/regular-orgasms-are-for-mortals-all-the-cool-kids-are-having-longevity-orgasms/">bragging</a> about longevity orgasms administered by cutting edge sex robots. Now, in-vitro meat--that is, meat grown in test tubes by applying a protein to animal muscle cells--may spice up our sex lives by <a href="http://transhumanity.net/articles/entry/nine-ways-in-vitro-meat-will-change-our-lives">providing</a> a guilt-free way to dip into the sexier side of cannibalism.</p>
<p><!--more-->Since growing in-vitro meat doesn't require harming the animal, we could ostensibly feast on test tube meats created from exotic creatures like Komodo dragons. But in addition to helping create a healthier planet and accomplishing the impossible (successfully placating PETA), in-vitro meat could have some kinkier implications.</p>
<p><a href="http://transhumanity.net/articles/entry/nine-ways-in-vitro-meat-will-change-our-lives">According</a> to Transhumanity.net:</p>
<blockquote><p>Humans are animals, so every hipster will try cannibalism. Perhaps we’ll just eat people we don’t like, as author Iain M. Banks predicted in his short story, “The State of the Art” with diners feasting on “Stewed Idi Amin.” But I imagine passionate lovers literally eating each other, growing sausages from their co-mingled tissues overnight in tabletop appliances similar to bread-making machines. And of course, masturbatory gourmands will simply gobble their own meat.</p></blockquote>
<p>Because nothing says "I love you" like gnawing on the scientifically-grown body part of your significant other. Happy Thanksgiving!</p>
