Virtual porn??? Things are about to get weird…
The world is a scary place and the scariest thing about the world is people, people freak me the fuck out!
People are panicky, unloyal, selfish, easily manipulated, followers and narcissistic, this has probably always been the case so I do not blame this generation for what they are and even worse what we are becoming. I blame their surroundings, society, the education system and many other factors.
What I find most concerning is how quickly strange things can be normalized in society. Whats worse is we do not see these changes with our friends but usual with the generation or a couple of generations after us.
Before there was Internet porn there was DVD and VHS, before that magazines, before that art. Each of these progressions has made porn more common, more accessible and therefore more popular.
What worries me is the next step, virtual porn! What happens if virtual porn becomes as popular or maybe even more popular (due to the extra realism) than Internet porn?
I fear and dread the day that live virtual porn shows become popular, I fear its only a matter of time. The day that parents do not walk in and catch their teenagers starring at smack-heads slamming their meat against each other on disgusting porno websites or find out they have been sharing nude pictures and videos on social media sites but the day that you walk in the room only to witness somebody getting it on with the fresh air or even worse some disgusting “virtual porn” doll (to add realism) will be a new low in humanity.
If this shit gets popular I’m leaving the planet or at least civilization, unless we create some law that stats; if you catch somebody using this you have the legal right the cut off their dicks or stamp their foreheads in permanent ink with the words “disgusting whore” to heal them of this would be illness.
When we question or criticize these “progressions” in technology we are easily dismissed as old fashioned this time however I believe the argument is valid.
You should check out the show called Black Mirror. There's an episode that has a feature similar to virtual porn where people have implant that allow them to record their visual and audible memory and play it back at any point in time. Even if that particular episode doesn't tickle your fancy, the entire series is an awesome twilight zone-esque dystopian future/present with some interesting critiques about the capabilities of our tech!
I LOVE black mirror, never seen the virtual porn one though, is that series 3? I have not started series 3 yet
Not really virtual porn, but it's a similar concept. It's the S.1 episode called The Entire History of You. Check it out!
In the meantime, I definitely see where you're coming from with the concern. And @craig-grant is right. Porn was a major innovator in terms of most tech development, from film and audio quality, to medium platforms. But on the bright side, people who aren't interested it will be the ones most likely to pass on genetic material. Humans can handle that level of tech, I'm sure.
Thanks for the post! Great thought!
virtual porn is the first thing that will make virtual reality headsets popular
