Abstract

The article explores the role of virtual reality technologies and sex robots in addressing the sexual needs of astronauts engaged in space missions. The positive impacts of sexual activity on physical and psychological health are highlighted, as well as the challenges astronauts will face in space due to the limited opportunity for emotional relationships. The need to develop innovative solutions, such as sex robots and the use of virtual reality to meet these needs, is analysed. The potential benefits and challenges of using virtual reality in space are compared with those of sex robots. We conclude by emphasising the importance of carefully considering astronauts' preferences and the operational context so as to determine the most appropriate technology to support their sexual needs in space.
性生活与太空旅行:性爱机器人比虚拟现实更可取吗?
本文探讨了虚拟现实技术和性爱机器人在解决从事太空任务的宇航员的性需求方面的作用。强调了性活动对身心健康的积极影响,以及由于情感关系机会有限,宇航员在太空中将面临的挑战。分析了开发创新解决方案的必要性,例如性爱机器人和使用虚拟现实来满足这些需求。与性爱机器人相比,在太空中使用虚拟现实的潜在好处和挑战。最后,我们强调仔细考虑宇航员的偏好和操作环境的重要性,以便确定最合适的技术来支持他们在太空中的性需求。
