SEX in the metaverse could become as common and “equally enjoyable” as sex in real life, according to two experts.
Daniel Golden, vice president of adult site DreamCam, and cam model Carly Evans spoke to The Sun about how the metaverse could evolve sex online.

Mark Zuckerberg recently said he thinks people will one day spend most of their time in the metaverse.
Turning our everyday lives virtual will take some adapting and new approaches to common activities, including sex.
Golden told The Sun: “I think the metaverse could change the sex industry and the sex industry could change the metaverse.
“The sex industry has been driving technological innovations for years, circa VHS tapes, and I think the expanding technology and room for fantasy in the metaverse will provide a great environment for not just Dreamcam users but sexually curious individuals to try new things.”
Golden says he has seen a “large jump” in the amount of people using his adult cam website since the pandemic.
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.”
Right now, common examples of the metaverse look like something out of the Sims video game.
In Zuckerberg’s metaverse, human avatars are legless and floating.
Visual drawbacks don’t seem to be holding back the cyber sex industry though.
The ‘world’s first’ cyber brothel also claims to have seen a surge in clientele during the pandemic.
The cyber brothel combines the use of virtual reality headsets and sex dolls to make a user feel like they are actually in an intimate situation.
Golden and cam model Evans think sex in the metaverse could eventually feel the same as sex in real life.
Evans, who says she enjoys sex in the metaverse, claims: “Just because it’s virtual, doesn’t mean it isn’t sex.
“Thanks to the fast-paced world of haptic devices and “real-feel” sex toys, VR sex could one day be just as good.
“Society defines sex as a wide range of interactions so its not just physical penetration that we can call “real sex”.”
Golden added: “I think it may turn out to be equally as enjoyable. With the fast growing sex tech in the works right now like synchronizing sex toys these things are already used in “real sex” and will only grow in popularity in the Metaverse.
“The Dreamcam platform’s high-definition detail video quality is so clear it feels like you are actually in the room with the model, add in all these sex toys and a little wine and it may as well be the same thing!”
Metaverse is a broad term. It generally refers to shared virtual world environments which people can access via the internet.
The term can refer to digital spaces which are made more lifelike by the use of virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR).
Some people also use the word metaverse to describe gaming worlds, in which users have a character that can walk around and interact with other players.
There is also a specific type of metaverse which uses blockchain technology.
