The first phase could kick in as soon as we have simple audio-video surround VR (like with glasses and headphones). Instead of watch 2 people go at on a flat tv screen, why not watch 'em go at it on your own floor! Or in your bed right next to you! Or in the tub, the neighbor's yard, wherever! The simple availability of such software could possibly be the largest driving force for moving this type of VR into the mainstream.
Phase four - neural implants. Can you say "6 hour long orgasm?" I thought you could. So much for productive work, huh?
Virtual sex is great for lots of reasons. You can't get hurt ("Ouch! I think I pulled a muscle really bad!"). No AIDs. No pregnancy. Nothing but fun fun fun!
