Another hypothetical scenario, this time involving sex and VR

This Thread inspired the following scenario:
Suppose you wear a full body tactile VR suit, one that realistically makes you feel anything imaginable.
Now suppose you meet someone online who's virtual representation is the hottest thing (human being of whatever floats your boat) you ever met.
You have steaming hot cybersex, a wild orgy of sex indistringuishable from the real thing that completely satisfies you.
Would it really matter to you whether the real person on the other end is someone you dont fancy? Like an old lady or a hairy dude?
If the hot representation is all you ever know and you make each other SO HAPPY, would it really matter to you?

I am active in Second Life the first real virtual world which you can join for free. Its not a game but strives to be a world onto its own, a true grid.
Anyways, the place is filled with people having cybersex and an unbelievable number of them are guys pretending to be gals and gals pretending to by guys. Its a big social experiment. Most gays are 8 foot tall hyper muscular giants, theres adults playing kids and teens ploaying adults, roleplaying, histopric re enact,ment.. theres 20,000 people online at any given time.
The graphics are crappy but we're working around it. New VR worlds are in the works. MUCH better. Amazing graphics and sensory immersion ahead. Oculus Rift and all that. Mesh, Voxels..
Maybe the Internet will evolve into you becoming a virtual person (any look you want) travelling a virtual 3D world.
If this thread was Second Life, it could be a beach with a blazing campfire where we chat and instantmessage. More fun than letters on a screen no?

interesting, I'd never heard that about secondlife. Good to know that people are already doing stuff like that. The MMO social virtual reality game is going to be the real deal.
I could see it becoming more like the internet was in that episode of futurama. essentially VR.

I've asked a few people what on earth they mean by 'the singularity.' Nobody has given me a very clear answer yet.

Check out the OP of the pinned post. Michio Kaku does a brilliant job of giving a quick primer on what it is.
Its very simple actually.
A superhuman intelligence will be created soon and will take us all aloft to the next level. It wont just be a machine at MIT being smart, it will completely transform everything for everyone.
Overnight, human progress will advance a thousand years.
What will be there in the morning?
You. You will find out and merge with it.

Have used my Oculus to check out VR porn and see what kind of advancements are going on there. 
VR porn is already deceptive without the tactile suit. The ones that have been through my tests have been taken from POV perspective, and there is sometimes a feeling of weird discomfort when the actor whose perspective it is filmed from moves an arm or leg -- seeing "my" arm move and not feeling it move really throws me off.
Also have seen some really interesting sex toys being developed to allow couples to engage in intimate acts "together" across long distances; as someone who has been in long distance relationships at various parts of my life and knows the stresses they can bring, this was one of many interesting developments.
With all that said, personally use VR mainly as an escape from the limitations brought on by my various health conditions. VR is an opportunity for me to role play, adventure, and feel powerful as a stark contrast to being stuck in my chair while it is all going on.
Considering VR through the lens of my current experience, think that your hypothetical situation may sound like something that it would be to my preference not to engage in. It is not simply the idea that the person controlling the avatar is different from his or her avatar, that is kind of the point of VR. Am just not sure, at this point, that VR is where I want to be forging new intimate connections of that sort.
If the scenario were otherwise the same, but rather than a stranger it were one of my significant others away on a business trip and this were our opportunity for intimacy until her return, then would be on board. At this point in my life though, feel sexually satisfied enough that there is not much compelling me to pursue VR experiences based around it. Would rather be flying through the air or climbing mountains.
Perhaps by the time the technology you describe is available my mind will view the situation differently though -- no idea what kind of advancements are left before my decision ends up being to just live in a VR unit instead.

I think VR will be a much enhanced social experience. Even if you meet somebody to date in real life, you would perhaps take them on a virtual date. But I would imagine you wouldn't much mind meeting people in VR once its sophisticated enough.
I mean, do you want to go to a typical date locale or go become immersed in each-others imagination? You could go on a fantasy quest: play virtual dungeons and dragons essentially. Or merely go on a "nature" walk through a virtual landscape.
And you could have a personal virtual museum filled with all the things that interest you, or your favorite virtual art. Tour each-others museum?

Yeah it would for sure burn an image into the back of my head. VR has such a long way to go it's basically like ATARI right now. I feel like the evolution of sex is so important that imitating it would show to be a very hard task. The idea of it being used as a forum board is pretty interesting actually. It would be very cool to be able to attend lectures and such using VR and I guess even school. hmmmm

Vice did an interesting documentary a while ago about the advancements being made in the Digital Love industry. It has been a few months since my first watch of it, but may fire it up again.
At one point they go to the Netherlands and interview some people who have made a long-distance dildo and fake hole (for lack of better term) that interact with each other across internet connections.
People are working hard on this. Blowjobs on the Millennium Falcon for everyone.
