In 2020, when the physical world was in quarantine, the virtual realm came to life. Work meetings became Zoom calls, concerts were livestreamed into living rooms, and more partners were having sex virtually, too. But how, exactly?
At Kiiroo, we’re always ahead of revolutionary VR and AI sex tech. Here, we look at thrilling ways the metaverse is evolving the digital sexual landscape, and exactly how to have virtual sex. Dearest pleasure-seeker, prepare to enter… the fuck-verse.
What is virtual sex?
Put simply, virtual sex is anything sexual that requires a WiFi or 3G connection. It’s nothing new: people have been making real intimate connections through cyberspace almost since the birth of the Internet - looking at you, Second Life.
From X-rated phone calls to flirty chats on MSN, getting down ‘n’ dirty digitally has been growing in popularity for decades. Now, we have the metaverse, with virtual sex apps and adult VR content.
Combined with huge advances in virtual sex toys, the online world is a pleasure playground for even the most technophobic beginners.
How to have virtual sex
Forming relationships online has been happening for a long time. But actually having sex online? It depends on who you’re connecting with, what you feel comfortable with, and of course, what turns you on.
If you want to know how to have virtual sex with a current partner, this may look different to virtual sex with multiple partners or casual lovers, or people you don’t know. For the latter, there are countless sex chat rooms to find people with similar interests.
Online spaces such as Jerkmate allow you to explore different fetish categories and interactive sex games, while apps such as Adult Friend Finder feature local or filtered match searches. There’s even a subreddit called ‘ToyControl’ where anonymous users pair up and play with each others’ remote-controlled sex tech.
How to have virtual sex with a partner
Even if you live in New York and your partner lives in Sydney, climatic connections are still possible with virtual sex toys. Once you find a partner, virtual reality sex toys with the FeelConnect app allow you to connect with them remotely and genuinely physically feel what’s happening sexually.
Our wide range of interactive pleasure products allow you to make your own couple set, connecting two devices (that also work alone, separately) to interact in unison together. For example, our multi-award-winning Keon masturbator can be connected to the next-gen Pearl3 G-spot vibrator through FeelConnect.
Using the most advanced technology on the market, touch rings in each virtual reality sex toy correspond so that you can both enjoy a shared sexual experience. Turn on, sync up, get each other off.
How to have virtual sex with cam stars
If you’re having virtual sex with cam stars, you can use the FeelConnect app to sync your interactive sex devices to live camming sites. Imagine watching a cam star perform a blowjob, or stimulate your clit on screen - all while feeling what you see in real life, via an interactive pleasure product.
Many cam stars also have their own virtual pleasure products that you can connect to or control for an even closer sexual experience.
Likewise, VR adult content allows you to fulfill your wildest fantasies in full glory. Many VR porn sites are compatible with virtual sex toys from Kiiroo, although these can be expensive and limited in terms of content.
For those who desire a wider choice of content for less, Kiiroo and FeelRobotics created FeelMe AI, the world’s first platform to make almost all porn on the internet interactive.
Using AI and machine-learning video recognition software, this game-changing software extension works with everything from 2D videos to VR streams. It comes in the form of a web browser plug-in - possibly the easiest virtual sex equipment you’ll ever use.
Finding the right virtual sex toys and equipment
Believe it or not, you don’t have to be a Silicon Valley expert to start exploring interactive sex tech. Easing the tension created by a lack of intimacy and learning how to have sex virtually can be simple with the right products.
Kiiroo are experts in remote pleasure - all of our products are designed to make digital intimacy simple (and outrageously fun).
For beginners, interactive masturbators such as Titan and Keon, as well as interactive vibrators such as the Pearl2+ and Lumen buttplug let you start having virtual sex straight away. You’ll also need a device to connect your pleasure product to (such as a smartphone or tablet) and of course, an internet connection. For a full VR experience, you’ll also need a headset. And as always, lots of lube!
The beauty of the metaverse is how it provides a space for people to free themselves of society’s expectations, such as gender or physical appearance.
Online virtual worlds such as VRChat allow people to be together virtually, giving each individual the freedom to express who they want to be and connect on a deeper level. They can choose a body that feels more suited to them, in a space safe for exploring identities and fantasies with other consenting adults.
Our virtual sex toys are also free of gender boundaries: our paired sets allow you to double up on vibrators or match masturbators to sync with partners of all genders and sexual orientations.
Those who already own a Keon and FeelStroker can add a Vacuum-lock Dildo to their masturbator (with our Keon Dildo Adapter) to build a groundbreaking Keon Sex Machine. For those with physical disabilities, our Pulse Solo Interactive (AKA the world’s first Guybrator™) allows users to climax hands free, without even having an erection.
The future of virtual sex toys
Technology that allows full body tracking enables many users in the metaverse to immerse their entire physical form in the virtual realm. Along with our interactive sex tech, this is revolutionary.
But of course, with great technology comes greater responsibility. In 2022, Meta introduced a ‘personal boundary’ feature, designed to keep others from violating each avatar’s personal space in VR platform Horizon Worlds.
This helps, but it’s always down to the individual to consider everyone’s comfort levels with utmost care and empathy. If you’re using virtual sex toys with partners, always get enthusiastic consent, then keep communication levels up throughout virtual sex to make sure these boundaries are maintained.
