近年来，关于技术进步对人类生活的影响的学术研究数量有所增加，包括随着性相关设备（如性爱机器人）的发展，人类性行为可能发生的转变和变化。在这种背景下，出现了诸如后人类性行为、数字性行为和技术性行为等术语，标志着对性行为、亲密行为和情感行为的可能的新理解。重要的是要注意，古代历史表明，人类长期以来一直着迷于他们与非生物的关系，主要是类似人类的人物，如玩偶。Ningyo（（sic）（sic），日本对玩偶的称呼）有着悠久的使用历史，在日本语境中具有深刻的宗教和万物有灵的意义--早在世纪就有性使用的记录。考虑到这一背景，本文重点介绍了三个日本的例子，旨在从性和情感的角度揭示超越人类的关系，其中包括一个日本男人与数字角色，性玩偶和交流机器人的婚姻。在性和浪漫可能性的新视野中，人类将如何回应，以及从这些互动中会出现什么？
Recent years have witnessed an increase in the number of academic studies on the impact of technological advancements on human life, including possible transformations and changes in human sexuality following the development of sex-related devices, such as sex robots. In this context, terms such as posthuman sexuality, digisexuality, and techno-sexuality have emerged, signaling possible new understandings of sexual, intimacy, and emotional practices. It is important to note that ancient history shows that humankind has for a long time been fascinated with their relationship to non-living things, mostly human-like figures, such as dolls. The Ningyo ((sic)(sic), the Japanese term for doll) has a long history of usage, and has deep religious and animistic significance in the Japanese context-there are records of sexual use as early as the 18th century. With this context in mind, this paper focuses on three Japanese examples, aiming to shine a light on beyond-human relationships, which include a Japanese man's marriage to a digital character, sex dolls, and communicative robots, from both a sexual and emotional perspective. In a new horizon of sexual and romantic possibilities, how will humans respond, and what can emerge from these interactions?
