Seven of nine, the new flesh
When it comes to predicting the new flesh and nexus of science fiction, cosplay, and sexuality, few could argue the character Seven of nine, from Star Trek Voyager, is a poster child of sex in the future. When Seven of nine was introduced to Voyager, she provided a kick into the sagging ratings of Voyager. Seven, played by the striking Jerri Ryan, was a girl assimilated by the cyborg nemesis called the borg. When she was rescued by Voyager and Captain Janeway, Seven was completely underdeveloped by human social skills despite her merge into the technologically superior hive of the borg.
She learns what it means to be human, by her trial and errors of social interactions.
How does the become a poster child for sexuality of the future? Seven is a hybrid of science, machines, and humans. Seven also has a quasi dominatrix costume and interaction with her 'weaker' human counterparts. You could argue that Seven in a weird way, predicted the social network/technology recasting of relationships, sex, and the blurring of barriers of the real and the synthetic.
To be fair, the idea of technology and sex is an old one in science fiction films.
The evil robot Maria created by the mad doctor performed a sensual dance at an exclusive club in Fritz Lang's metropolis. The audience were excited by a robot who they thought was the human Maria. The new flesh shows itself in the science fiction film, in 1926. In this clip, the mad scientist creates the new flesh of technology from the captured Maria.
