How VR and AI are Revolutionizing the Online Sex Industry

Virtual reality and artificial intelligence have completely disrupted the online sex industry, with more users keen on meeting virtual sexual partners and enjoying customized experiences. In one recent LELO survey, around one-third of people questioned said they would consider using a sex robot if an affordable option were released, and one in ten said they would be interested in using AI bots for sexual purposes. The truth is that AI and VR add a new element to online sex: anonymity. AI also delivers personalization, which most of you will probably agree is a key component of authentic sexual pleasure. If you’re keen to discover the very latest tools, sites, and apps featuring these technologies, read on.

Finding a Dream (AI) Girlfriend

If you connect deeply with characters like Theodore in Her (played by Joaquin Phoenix) or K in Blade Runner 2049 (played by Ryan Gosling), the idea of having a stunning virtual girlfriend may appeal. Sites like bestaisex.com list some of the best sites and apps that allow you to design your own virtual girlfriend. Choose from blondes, brunettes, and redheads, select an occupation for your babe, and (in some cases) even receive voice calls! One thing AI-designed girlfriends can guarantee is plenty of attention. Of course, it helps that you get to choose their looks and personality!

AI-Generated Porn

Another area that is advancing rapidly is AI-generated pornography. Already, deepfakes have been used to create media that superimposes celebrity faces onto adult actors’ bodies. However, AI can already create fully synthetic porn stars that are catered to users’ individual preferences. In the same way that Netflix can recommend films based on what you’ve already watched on this and other platforms like Amazon, AI can recommend videos that suit your preference for everything from hair color to locations and positions.

VR Porn

If you’ve got a VR headset, you can use it to enjoy a VR porn session, which allows you to watch porn from the point of view of one of the performers. You can stream adult scenes through your phone and enjoy the 180º views. According to tech journalists who have tried out the new service, VR porn is so realistic that they can’t see users going back to 2D. You can take it further by also exploring the world of VR experience-integrated sex toys. Software like the Lovense Media Player allows users to sync the rhythm of their sex toys with whatever clip they have chosen. This software is compatible with a host of popular VR headsets, including Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear HR, HTC Vive, and more.

The world of 2D porn is fast being replaced by immersive VR and AI experiences. There is little you cannot experience when donning a VR headset—a tool that makes online experiences much more realistic. AI, meanwhile, is enabling users to customize their online experience. Thus far, users can create their own AI girlfriend, access fully synthetic porn stars, and receive personalized recommendations.
