How virtual reality porn could bring about world peace

Cold, silly, downright terrifying - at first I was unstirred by the allure of VR pornography. That was, until I met Adrian "

Pornography often helps to drive new technology into the mainstream. Everyone knows that. In fact, by now the point has become rote. It's the sort of thing that needlessly contrarian dinner party guests routinely trot out 20 minutes before embarking upon trickier subjects like "Hitler had some good ideas" and "Female drivers, eh?"

Still, an element of truth remains. Print, film, video, the internet, ebook readers - they've all been given a tremendous boost by their ability to show or describe sexual practises to the public.

In fact, VR porn might even bring about a new era of world peace.
