Virtual Love in the Time of COVID-19

Many of us are now seeking larger than life experiences to halt the dreary experience of being stuck in COVID-19 lockdown. Even as some countries and cities begin to open up while trying to keep everyone as safe from infection as possible, millions around the world are feeling their patience wear thin as their need for physical contact with other humans, loved ones and strangers alike, refuses to adjust to this apparent new normal. Thankfully,virtual reality has an answer.

The number of peopleworking from home rose 159% globally between 2005 and 2017. Now with COVID-19 sending that number to astronomical heights (even if only temporarily), the need for a more humane approach to remote work is on the agenda. A natural stress reliever and immunity booster, sexual activity also lowers blood pressure and improves sleep. And, yes, that includes solo acts. The kind you’d normally be risking your career to pull off.

Making Work Harder

Whether sex with a real-life partner or a quick virtual tryst on your lunch break with your favorite adult performer and your dominant hand, the benefits of incorporating sexual activity into one’s work day could be immense. One stressful phone call or video meeting, or simply beating a deadline might be enough to warrant signing off for thirty minutes and finding balance in sexual activity of some kind. And, since you really shouldn’t be touching anyone you don’t know extremely well right now, the safest sex possible during lockdown isVR porn.

Finding Quality Alone Time

Jumping into VR and experiencing an intimate sexual encounter with a world renowned pornstar certainly counts as a larger than life experience, at least when it’s done properly. If you have any doubts, strapping on agood quality VR headset and meeting a top porn talent for the first time should take care of them.

The immersion provided by well produced VR content and a quality hardware device is a huge leap from smartphone viewing. All one needs to do is sample the higher-quality experience and any smartphone-based VR app is bound to look weak in comparison. As sales of VR hardware remains strong during global supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic, more and more VR users are finding out just how powerful this upgrade truly is.

Upgrading Your Sex Life

Few types of VR experiences showcase this difference in quality more than adult entertainment. Making an abstract 3D lightshow compelling and engaging is one thing but it’s another entirely to capture one POV of a two-person interaction for the benefit of a home viewer. When one of porn’s most seductive stars stares into your eyes and says something more forward than you’re used to, expect some nerves to creep in – along with other, more predictable sensations.

VR sex can be so convincing you’ll find yourself actually caring about your virtual partner and his or her pleasure, just as you’ll instinctively rise up to meet their face as they lean in for a kiss. In not too long, we can expect adult VR to actually respond to your level of arousal and that of your AI-guided virtual partner, providing a feeling of risk and reward, even of awkwardness that can make the whole thing feel much closer to reality while potentially teaching people to be more attentive and generous lovers.

Guys, Girls, Games

Adult VR games provide a wide range of opportunities for players to explore all kinds of scenarios and worlds, from space-faring sex-bot creation stations to deeply personalized companion simulators and more conventional action-oriented games with a decidedly NSFW twist. And these don’t all come from unknown indie developers either. Major adult studios have dipped their toes into VR game creation, with Date Night being one notable entry in which players complete puzzles to win a shot at virtually dating adult performerBridgette B.

While playing any video game, VR or not, is unlikely to shoot you to the top of Tinder’s most popular profiles, the sense of accomplishment VR games can provide may be a much needed confidence boost to those stuck at home alone with only their newly-online job to deal with. Speedrunning Super Mario Odyssey can be fun, sure, but nowhere near as rewarding as learning new moves from a top-tier porn talent or creating your ideal fantasy partner. Who knows, maybe you’ll soon be able to use the lessons learned there during a real life encounter!

And, if this already lengthy lockdown continues for who knows how long, virtual reality sex could prove to be the best thing to slide into our DMs for decades.
