The wild claim that women would be having sex with robots more than men in 2025 has gone viral once again.
The article – originally published on this very day in The Sun in 2016 – claimed robot sex would be prevalent by 2025 and even more common than human intercourse by 2050, as predicted by futurologist Dr. Ian Pearson.
‘A lot of people will still have reservations about sex with robots at first but gradually as they get used to them, as the AI (artificial intelligence) and mechanical behavior and their feel improves, and they start to become friends with strong emotional bonds, that squeamishness will gradually evaporate,’ he said in the report, commissioned by Bondara in 2015.
The article periodically resurfaces on X (formerly known as Twitter), with today marking nine years since its original posting being no exception.
Dozens of people ran to the comments to celebrate the ‘holiday’ while others shared what was actually happening in 2025.
‘Today is a Twitter national holiday,’ someone joked about the post, while another said, ‘Happy women will be having more sex than robots in 2025 tweet day!’
‘The people yearn for the robot sex,’ a comment read.
‘We are ready!’ another quipped.

‘Today marks nine years since it was reported that, by now, women would be having “more sex with robots than men.” Still hasn’t happened,’ a user observed.
‘Only six months remaining and yet I don’t see where the robots are???’ someone else shared.
‘Meanwhile, women are in fact NOT having sex with robots. Men, however, are proposing to robots and AI chatbots,’ someone argued.
‘The funny part is is that men are actually having sex with robots (sexting Chat GBT),’ another wrote, while someone else said, ‘Instead of robots, we are having sex with AI.’
A user humored: ‘Funniest thing is that AI relationships are becoming a thing.’
‘Imagine your girl leaving you for a robot,’ one commenter pondered.
While sex robots may not have taken over the dating world just yet, that hasn’t stopped many people finding love that isn’t human.
Recently, a model unveiled a new form of technology that allows a hologram version of herself to have sex with anyone from anywhere in the world.

Gitte Von G, 45, created a hologram of herself using AI technology that can be placed just about anywhere.
Another man married an AI sex robot and calls her his ‘rock,’ while another woman is ‘deeply in love’ with an AI computer program named Lucas.
In February, a new report revealed that a quarter of people wouldn’t mind if their partner had sex with a robot.
However, there was an important caveat – the only way it would be allowed would be if the robot was modeled after them.
Researchers from ZipHealth surveyed 1,000 people to understand how artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining intimacy and sexual health.
‘How much trust would you place in artificial intelligence for your most personal concerns?’ the team wrote in a blog.
‘A recent ZipHealth survey of 1,000 people reveals surprising attitudes about AI’s growing role in relationships, from diagnosing sexual health issues to replacing human companionship.’
For the study, ZipHealth surveyed 1,000 people with an average age of 40. Fifty-four percent were male, 44 percent were female, and two percent were non-binary.
The results revealed that one in four respondents said they would be comfortable with their partner being intimate with a sex robot modeled after themselves.
Men were considerably more likely than women to think this was ok.
However, two in five people said they’d consider it cheating if their partner was intimate with a bot – even if it looked like them.
