Virtual Reality Is Changing the Way We Look at Love and Sex

Could the Oculus Rift replace actual human relationships? It certainly seems like it.

In the future, all you’ll need to experience any kind of intimacy is to put on your Oculus Rift and push the power button.

At least, that’s what it seems like after watching this NSFW Vice feature entitled Digital Love. In it, they explore the ever-evolving ways in which technology influences love and sex around the world. It’s not just about simple dating websites and places like Pornhub anymore; with immersive 3D, virtual reality environments like Oculus Rift becoming available to the public, we could be headed for a world where you don’t even need another actual person to experience intimacy.

Basically, the future is starting to look increasingly more like that really weird sex scene between Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock in Demolition Man. And that’s not good for anybody.

The trailer is above, and you can check out the full feature here.
