Something I have considered for some time, but have any of you ever considered how wonderful gay sex would be, if it were totally virtual? I mean, I have perused your threads. And I have noticed that hygiene and disease prevention are often your main concerns now. But if it were totally virtual, there'd be no need for such concerns. You could do whatever you wanted! No matter how unsanitary it would be in real life. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd love to try rimming in a virtual world. It's just too plain dirty, and dangerous in the real world. And consider the concept of the avatar. You can be whoever and whatever you want to be! And so can your partner. I don't know about the rest of you, but I would be a drop-dead gorgeous adonis, as my alternate self. It may not be available in our lifetime, advanced virtual reality I mean. But you could have yourself cryogenically frozen, I guess. Or I have a theory that even that may not be necessary. In the truly distant future, they may be able to even bring back the long-since-dead people! In modern physics even, they say information in never truly lost. So why not? Of course, I still think it should follow the caveat of 'between-consenting-adults-only'. But outside of that, I still think there will be no limits.
I live for good sex with my husband. There are no health or hygiene issues as it’s just the two of us. Virtual is NOT a choice for me as I need to be touched, fingered and penetrated by my husband and enjoy everything about our lovemaking.
I think it would be awesome if a paraplegic could experience sex via VR/AI, or help an autistic person learn interpersonal relationship skills in a safe environment. I don't see an ethical difference between sexual fantasizing during masturbation and VR sex, but I wouldn't want either to become a substitute for real-life sexual intimacy, or reinforce some folk's violent or exploitive proclivities.
There is already too much retreat into the virtual world. Smash your electronic devices. Kiss a man. Kiss a woman. Merge as lovers. Feel the afterglow in each other's naked embrace! Then go out into the world and spread some joy.
