Prostitution could thrive in metaverse and allow creepy fantasies, expert says

PROSTITUTION could thrive in the metaverse and could allow fantasies that aren’t safe or even legal in real life.

That’s according to a porn producer and journalist who explained the concept to Bustle.

Noelle Perdue told the outlet: “Instead of doing custom content, people will create custom experiences.”

She added: “Virtual reality opens up so many exciting possibilities for exploring the more surreal elements of fetish and kink.

“There are a lot of fetishes that are not possible to recreate in real life, like a giantess fetish, or hypnotism, or more fantastical, niche desires.

“Virtual reality provides such an amazing opportunity to actually be in those fantasies in a way that you can’t in [reality].”

Some experts think sex work will take over the metaverse the same way it has done on the internet.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is working on a metaverse that might now allow this.

His head of virtual reality, Andrew Bosworth, once said they were aiming for “almost Disney levels of safety”.

However, the sex industry is already part of the metaverse on different platforms.

Daniel Golden, vice president of adult site DreamCam, previously spoke to The Sun about how the metaverse could evolve sex online.

He thinks sex in the metaverse has a number of positives and could become just as common as sex in real life.

Golden explained: “We are all human and sex is a part of life, whether that’s in the metaverse or not.

“In the metaverse, it doesn’t matter what you look like and users even get to choose.

“This could be great for people who feel insecure about how they look when they have sex so they might choose to utilize the metaverse more.

“People in long distance relationships could also have sex in the metaverse more than in real life so that they don’t lose that physical connection.

“Getting it on in the metaverse will just become a personal preference for how people will like to get their freak on.”
