Apparently, we're all going to be making love to robots in less than 10 years!

When futurologist Dr Ian Pearson gazed into his crystal ball, sex robots winked back, The Mirror reported.

Pearson -- who compiled a report on the future of sex -- suggests that sleeping with robots will be as common for women as watching porn is today.

He claimed that 'robophilia' may become so popular that it will overtake human intercourse and will be fully-fledged by 2050.

In the report, commissioned by Bondara, Pearson claimed, "A lot of people will still have reservations about sex with robots at first. But gradually as they get used to them and the AI (artificial intelligence), mechanical behaviour and their feel improves, and they start to become friends with strong emotional bonds, that squeamishness will gradually evaporate."

Many people have voiced concerns over this growing trend.

They fear that robots could soon replace human interaction.
