The fetishes of the future? Nurses and firemen will be replaced by realistic elves and aliens as more people embrace VR sex, futurologist predicts

They're often regarded as a taboo subject. But a new report is finally lifting the lid on sexual fetishes – and what they might look in the future. Sexual wellness brand, LELO, has worked with futurologist, Tom Cheesewright, to predict the future of love, sex, and relationships. As virtual reality becomes more widespread, Mr Cheesewright suggests that our fetishes will veer away from the more traditional options of nurses and firemen. Instead, Britons will be fantasising about'realistic elves and aliens', he claims.
