Designer Says VR Kit May Help People with ‘Extreme Sexual Fantasies’

Can we use virtual reality to prevent people from becoming predators?

Visual X kit lets people explore sexual fantasies.

It’s becoming clear that we are not just entering a new era of taboo-shattering erotic devices, but also using technology to address some fundamental questions about human sexuality.

Marta Dunjó, a design student at Central Saint Martins in London, hopes to ignite discussions about virtual reality sex and whether using it to explore “extreme sexual fantasies” such as rape may potentially rehabilitate offenders or trigger them to attack. To do so, she has created a concept for a set of virtual reality sex accessories, which include orifices covered in United Kingdom’s definition of rape.

Dunjó’s assortment of hypothetical devices resembles, if anything, a black latex assortment of body parts and accompanying offices: a female torso, a posterior-in-a-box, a globe sporting a hole, two controllers and—as the concept is imaged as working with virtual reality—a pair of VR goggles.

A concept for discussion

Speaking to dezeen, she said: “I focused more on the objects that would facilitate the rape experience in VR rather than the experience itself.”

What’s particularly unique about Dunjó’s concept is that it is a representation of the discussions around virtual reality and sexuality: instead of being just hardware, it is designed to draw attention to questions about the impact of technology and sex.

Talking about the need to try and anticipate the impact of things like virtual reality she says, “If current hardcore pornography were to move into a virtual domain tomorrow, what would be the impact on society? Would deviant sexual behaviour be encouraged or would it simply just become a mechanism to explore and entertain sexual fantasies that are illegal and immoral in the virtual world?”

Talking it out

Dunjó’s concept further opens the debate about whether or not creating virtual reality or robotic technology to meet socially unacceptable sexual practices could cause users to pursue it in real life.

The benefit this brings is instead of trying to legislate against actually creating something like her Visual X Kit, those on the other side of the discussion could feel as if they are being communicated with and not simply demonized. In the end, this could potentially bring about more effective discussions and perhaps policy or legislation, if necessary, that doesn’t overstep the mark.

Virtual reality as social and sexual growth?

As Dunjó says, “Early research in VR proves that there are certain experiences that have an impact on the human psyche, so through my project, I wanted to understand what would be the impact in our society of accessing certain extreme sexual fantasies in VR–in this case, rape.”

In the end, what Dunjó is doing is what’s needed more than ever: not a new bit of sexual technology but a concept that hopefully will draw much-needed attention to the many ethical questions around virtual reality and robotics.

M. Christian

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
