VR Porn is perceived as sexual simulation

uioz

petermc How can a video ever be a simulation? It's like saying that watching the attractor screen on an arcade machine is the same as actually playing the game
Unfortunately, there's nothing to help people that are in the POVerty way of thinking because it's disordered illogical behavior.

petermc

uioz by definition, simulating something is not the same as actually doing it. No one is trying to say watching VR porn is the same as actually having sex with a real woman.

petermc in a simulation you can change what happens. fundamentally a video is not a simulation.

The map is not the territory...

InfiniteFun No ellipsis at the beginning of the post - does that mean we're entering a new chapter? 😉

I have a feeling this POV vs Non-POV debate is about to wrap up right here - https://forum.sexlikereal.com/d/8236-should-we-add-braindance-6dof-gaussians-on-slr

alphaRonaldo it's softcore so far

uioz Look up the definition of simulation and you won't find any definition like that.

In any case, a person masturbating while watching a video is simulating sex.

uioz It doesn't have to be this way. This will certainly move towards hardcore later on.

how are they simulating sex and if they are, what does the video contribute?

...once you realise 'you' are a simulation in your own head, it all starts to make a lot more sense...

alphaRonaldo I guess it can be done but they say they're already using 165 cameras for what they're doing so in total they're probably already spending 300k usd on that setup and need a lot of signups/sales to justify building bigger rigs to record more than a single 5 foot woman. I don't think it will happen with conventional cameras, but there exists cameras that use filters that instead of just splitting into rgb refract the light in such a way that the angle of the ray is measured. You could probably record a whole scene for 6dof with a fraction of the cameras if they had that technology. But it's not used in entertainment yet and there's a tradeoff with resolution that's probably not great for VR unless you find some kind of upscaling workaround.

...well, they're not having sex, are they? They are not in the same room as the model, being filmed. They are watching the film that was produced as a result. Yet they perceive themselves to be present with her in some way. Hence, we regard it as a simulation...
