A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEXUAL FANTASIES ABOUT THEIR VOICE ASSISTANT

(April, 2017) A study of more than a thousand voice technology users found that 26% of them have had a sexual fantasy about a voice assistant, such as Alexa, Siri, and Cortana. What those sexual fantasies were isn’t clear, but it’s an alarming number of people all the same. The “Speak Easy” study took responses of over 1,000 UK smartphone owners aged 18+ and 100 Amazon Echo owners. It’s not clear what percentage of respondents were men and what percentage were women. The study also found that 37% of voice technology users “love their voice assistant so much that they wish it were a real person.”

* 26% have had a sexual fantasy, and half of those have gotten an iPhone, an Android and a Lumia together for an orgy.
