"Today, CTA announced it will allow sex tech startups to participate and compete for awards as part of the health and wellness category on a one-year trial basis."

Ummm, where is the proof that any of these sex techs are good for human health?

What's up with the arbitrary scrutiny placed on sex?

Where's proof that every other consumer electronic is good for anything?

"health and wellness" is usually a way to say "there is no actual data supporting any health claims".

Are you questioning whether sexual pleasure is good for human health?

Maybe they take the long view-- sex creates life and all things die, so sex leads innevitably to death. So, not very healthy?

Depends on the means/settings of gaining that sexual pleasure.

And sex toys, in any humanist ethics, are 100% within that as long as all parties are able to consent and do.

Has that ever been a CTA requirement for the health and wellness category? If not, why should it be for sex tech in th category?
