Could VR be used to secretly fulfil bizarre fetishes?

While some people are happy with regular sex, others have sexual fantasies and fetishes they yearn to fulfil. But some fetishes are not realistically attainable, and people are left having to use their imagination. Experts believe virtual reality may be the way forward, and could allow people with bizarre fetishes to achieve their desires from the privacy of their own home. Sex with unobtainable things like aliens, for example, is not a new concept. 'People have always had sexual fantasies engaging with notions of "otherness" and that which we cannot have or are realistically unattainable,' Trudy Barber, a lecturer in Media Studies at the University of Portsmouth, told MailOnline. 'A wish to have sex with aliens is very prevalent in lots of science fiction stories such as in the film Galaxy Quest or the classic seductive green Orion "slave-girl" of early Star Trek fame.'
