Where's that guy with anxiety from yesterday? Strap this to his head and put him in extremely awkward situations of close personal contact. Have the app give instructions on strategies for dealing with anxiety so he can try those things out. Someone should make that... I'm not into VR yet and have too many other projects or I would.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sometimes I look at app game markets and think, "Wow, humanity is burning a lot of cycles on perfecting distraction... that doesn't seem safe." Usually I just load up HN or Total War to forget about it...
We'll be left with people who preferred 'RL' experience over 'VR'. They will be the ones who reproduce, while the rest of humanity are trapped by 'VR'.
I feel like Louis CK does a great job of covering this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqITqRWhpxg
Interesting observation: Seems like girls are better suited for full VR experience than men. Because a programmable dildo coupled with the VR action is a lot simpler to design than a programmable pussy imho. I think geeks are cutting what's left of the branch under their feet with this tech :). VR-sex junkie girls will take a bit of work to impress then.. Oh well, who cares, we'll have our own VR girls!
The layout that allows comments by paragraph is really interesting, first time I've seen that.
>If nothing else, it will help you hide your porn better, seeing as it will be strapped to your face. Well, they might not be able to see your porn, but you'll still leak metadata while watching it.

I am agoraphobic and am aware of, though have not participated in, virtual reality assisted exposure therapy programs for agoraphobics. It's early days, but there's people working on it.
It's particularly exciting for agoraphobia and certain other anxiety issues which respond very well to exposure, but exposure is expensive and difficult to do and takes a lot of work on behalf of the patient and practitioner, whereas VR obviously makes things easier if you can make it work as well.
Personally I'd hope to try VR Porn once or twice in my life, further than I can't see the value in it. I believe that sexual energy is a finite resource that should be spent wisely on people you love, not in cold virtual realities.
