I just checked out My Plaything: Sabrine Maui, and it got me thinking, that this is really the first VS title from either of the only 2 really decent lines in the genre, Virtual Sex with, and My Plaything, in over a year. And there has really only been a couple releases from either in the last couple of years. Has the genre become obsolete already?
knowing the majority here, this forum could probably mostly care less, but I always thought it was a genre that really had potential. The footage was massively too short, and it had some flaws, the digital pops being major fucking ones, but if either of those lines could pick up from a solid start, there may be something there, but there just isn't any product coming out of either series, and the other studios that have tried it in my oppinion did not do a very good job at all. So I am left wondering if it is now becoming a thing of the past that failed, or if there is still life out there for it.
virtual sex with jesse jane, which is fairly recent, is really good. i think the problem is that a lot of companies are producing their own versions of the virtual sex DVDs, and this competition may make it hard for the big two to convince the bigger stars to go to them. then again, there are already a lot of titles out there, so maybe they're just looking for the right timing as to release dates. after all, they don't want to put out something now only to have it hurt the sales of their other titles. this is especially true if it costs significantly more to produce one of these than a typical film.
i've heard that briana banks shot one, but then had a problem with the company that made it (digital playground?). apparently, they were also supposed to do her website, but she thought that they were doing it too slowly or poorly, and went to another company. somewhere along the way, this is holding up the release of her virtual sex title.
i personally think they're a great genre, since they're gonzo/POV, just taken the next logical step further.

In the June AVN, there is a large ad for My Plaything with the covers of all of their titles. I don't think that they would place an ad without continuing the line.
There is also an ad for a new Carman Luvana DVD called Get Off with Carman Luvana bi-lingual Interactive Sex Simulator coming Spring 2004 from Adam&Eve. Now seeing that it is mid-June and it has not been released, I would day they are behind schedule
There is also a new line from Anarchy Interactive called My Virtual... I don't know if these are any good. Anyone seen them ?
Anarchy just came out with " Playing with Ariana Jollee ". Most stores are pre-selling it this week. So far the reaction is great. If pre-selling is an indication of how well the movie will sell, it will be the best selling Interactive DVD out there.
I think this is a geat question. I remember being blown away the first time I saw Virtual Sex with Jenna Jameson on my computer, Both DigitalPlayground and DigitalSin have made great strides in the virtual sex arena. I have to give them credit forcreating a product far superior to the vast majortity of their competition, but, and this is a big but, nobody has pushed interactive DVDs even remotely as far as they could be right now. Is Virtual Sex dead? No, but it has been in a coma for the last four years.
I'll be shooting a virtual sex dvd next week. It will be Wicked's first one and they are planning to try lots of new,cool things...one of the most important (to me at least) is there will be no cheesy computer-generated pop shots! I will let everyone know how it goes...
Thanks all for your input, that is more what I guess I meant Goldmember, thanks.
Thanks for the news Stormy, I am a big fan of yours, and a fan of the genre as a whole, I will definately be picking that title up, glad to hear about the no digital pops, are they going to all be real? Or the stunt dick? which is fine by me, either way is acceptable. I hope Wicked does you and the genre justice.
I picked up My Virtual Shyla & Olivia.. and didn't care for the set up at all.that's good news. i kinda had hoped other companies would jump on this bandwagon.
i kinda liked My Sex Kitten: Jenna Haze from JKP but the scenes were just a tad short.
well if ya need some help, i'm here for ya.(<--big cheezy grin)
Thanks Monstar! I'll let Pat know that if he needs a stunt cock, you're there for him :) We are shooting over multiple days so that all the pops are real! Also, everyone should be happy to hear that it will be non-condom (a first for me and Wicked)!
That's great you are doing one of these Stormy!! I will certainly check it out. Just one small request and it could be included with the breast tease feature and that's you do lots of licking of your own breasts!! I saw you do this with Mark Davis in a Metro title and it was amazing and I'd think this type of solo action would fit in nicely with a Virtual title as I know I'd get a huge kick out of watching my girl licking her own tits!! Just a suggestion, hope you can use it!
And you didn't tell me this at the convention. Ohhh you are in for such a spanking next time I see you.
AND NO MORE CHOCOLATE YOUNG LADY.
Linus - I think the main problem with these titles is the time and effort it takes to shoot one. Plus you have to find the right girl to star in it. She has to be hot enough to attract the fans but still pull off the movie. There are several examples out there of beautiful women that when put in front of a camera by themselves can't seem to generate the heat.
I have the "Virtual Misty" title. I haven't spent a lot of time going over it. It isn't up to the high standards of Digital Sin's My Plaything line but it still has a lot of good things going for it. I am interested to see how the line grows.
I think the basic problem with the whole virtual sex genre is that it's always been really underdeveloped.
Mind you I've seen these things back when they were out on CD-ROM and the best ones at that time were from a company called Pixis.
What happens is that the director or the development team has an idea of what they want to see in the program, but they don't follow through on ALL of the possibilities. For instance one of the earlier virtual sex programs ("Virtual Sex with Rocki Roads") went from the girl saying "Hi" right to the sex. No foreplay, no striptease, no undressing. Just "hello" and now let's get into it.
The other virtual sex programs went the opposite route. They had you jump through hoops. Play a game, shoot some aliens, find a certain room in a corridor... things that can get boring really quick if you have to do them for any real length of time.
Some of the ones I've reviewed on this website are certainly an improvement from those earlier versions, but they still want to have the viewer go through some hoops first in order to unlock all of the goodies. I don't mind a game as a lead-in, but it shouldn't be a prerequisite to enjoy the stuff on the disc.
By the way, Stormy, I'm glad to hear that Wicked is getting into doing a VS program and that you're not just planning on trying to do it all in one day. I hope they're looking at the reviews here to see how to improve things and really make it a must-buy DVD.
If there is one thing I can suggest... PLEASE have a post-sex scene! That's been my biggest complaint with these more recent discs. Don't let it just end with the pop shot. Just have some scene where you say it was great or the viewer was great or something nice like that to wrap it all up.
My problem with the current state of VR porn is that it isn't all that much more advanced that a well shot POV (point of view) flick featuring one girl with a lot of tease footage that you can navigate through with a better chapter selection interface.
I want more! Clearly there is the technology out there to do it, just look at the current state of video gamming. If the industy is going to continue to push out the same style of VR porn, then at least get original with the content. Make the options really different like choosing different outfits, fetishes, number of girls, ect.
Thanks for all the great input! Wicked is being super cool and letting me have lots of control over what I want to do with the movie and I'll definitely keep all your suggestions in mind. I especially like the post sex part. I also wanted to do the shoot at my own house so the viewer could get the feel of what it would be like to have sex with me in real life (like if we were returning from a date). Every scene will be shot in a different room with a different outfit and I want to vary the attitude with each. For example: lingerie and sweet romantic sex in my bed and hot spontaneous sex on the kitchen table...etc. The good news is that the dvd will be available very soon because Wicked is rushing it to make the cut off date for the AVN nominations which is Sept. 30. We start shooting on Tuesday so wish me luck!
Your my plaything jewel was one of the very best ones. Most of that was down to your performance, but if they could get more of that kind of performance and get rid of the digital pops and add some more in depth options, it wouldn't have to die. Your probably right though, it does appear to be on the down slope, but it is nice to see a few studios still coming up with things.
@ Stormy, I hope your title does well, and let us know when it comes out as I want to be sure to see it, you really seem to have the right idea about approaching it.
Personally I think the Virual Sex serie would be great if it was done like in virtual reality like with the cool virtual reality mask and everything. Maybe at least they could do is make one in 3D, the only thing they would have to include are the 3D glasses.
Hi everyone! I'm glad to report that my virtual sex movie is wrapped and will be released on Sept. 29...I don't know the exact title yet. The shoot went well and lasted two days (because we did no fake pops). As I mentioned, we shot at my house so it's kind of a cross between an interractive and a "mtv cribs" thing. We did a cool shower segment that I hope you guys enjoy...
Stormy, you are a beautiful woman whom I've enjoyed on screen several times and I can't wait to see all that you came up with! The shower segment you mentioned sounds intriguing, hope you were able to work in some nipple licking to those beautiful tits of yours!! And I'm really glad all the pops were real! One more questions, any anal in this? I don't know what your position is on this but I'm sure lots of guys and gals would love to see that in this title.
it is a fad that came with the invent of dvds.... I think they have got as vertual as they can get with dvds... however when the new blue lazer and HD dvds come out that can hold much more info then we will see what virtual sex ideas the porn companies come up with.. if vertual sex was a video games we are in the "pong" stage next will come "Atari" and so forth I just hope I can still get it up when virtual sex reaches the " x box" stage
Hello people! I have directed all of the My Plaything Series so if you want to know I will tell you. Jewel you are a geek! You know I love ya - You started the Plaything series so what the hell are you talking about? LOL
Very simply - we have put a lot of time and effort (6 months) into a project called Groupie Love. It is interactive on a whole new level. Instead of one girl there are 8. Some girls are naughty and some girls are nice. You can switch between girls at any time. 2 of the girls are able to be directed in a GG scene. The whole thing is hosted by mega stars 50 cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck. There are 3 full sex scenes on the second of the 2 disc set. BTS. Photo Gallery. Go here for more info www.newsensations.com/indexn.php.
We have already begun work on the next Plaything. The way these are done and the commitment to the quality makes it take a while so they don't come out very often. The genre is still big and I know there are even more companies who are looking to make their mark here. Groupie Love just raised the bar ten fold.
It is not a fad and remains a focal point of Digital Sin. we always look to the next level so with the advent of blue laser then we will see what we can do to offer even more features. Jenna 2 and Carmen were HD so when it comes time we will release the HD version.
Post some killer ideas on what you want to see or write me direct at tshuz@digitalsindvd.com. When we announce the next Plaything I am sure fans of the genre will be salivating. For now you may want to check out Groupie Love with Kaylani, Monica Sweetheart, Daisy, Lacey, and more.
I can't say right now. Have to wait until the deal is done. Know she is hot blonde and HOT! Not much to go in but she has big Internet presence as well as video.
Tyrone, here's a concept for you. How about an interactive DVD called "Pussy Club" or "Score Some Ass" (I'd also suggest "On The Pull", but I think that's very much a British expression). The disc would replicate the experience of a night out when you're actively looking to finish up boning a beautiful girl. The first chapters of the disc would be a virtual nightclub. Once you've manoeuvred your way past the apes on the door, you have the freedom to move around every corner of the club, from the barstools to the dancefloor (not sure if a 360 degree virtual pan is feasible, but it would be cool). Twenty gorgeous girls are scattered throughout the club and you have to find them, then charm them. Some will throw a cocktail in your face, others will accompany you to the club toilets, the parking lot or perhaps the centre of the dancefloor itself. Here the interactive sex kicks in - frenzied blowjobs in the shadows with the everpresent fear of discovery, ass-pounding by the cigarette machine or shameless exhibitionism for the other dancers to see. Even at this point the girls can still decide to ditch you - one may be so disgusted by your opting for 'Hard Anal' in the options menu that she'll simply storm off. The beauty of the disc will be that it captures the whole anxiety of the experience - your nerves will be on edge as much as your dick will be on heat! What do you think?
Great concept. I wrote an interactive mainstream R rated interactive several years ago that came out as "The Interactive Adventures of James Spawn". Similar concept in an R rated format. Overall there is X amount of space on a DVD. I think all of it should be worthy of a tug on the pud. Don't want to be told NO on my fantasy product. Don't want to lose in the game. After a project the size and scope of Groupie Love, it has opened my mind for some new things. I will give it some more thought - thanks
i wish some one would use the 5.1 sound and hook it up to a device that goes around my cock vibratianing my cock the speakers chanels could tell little vibrating motor when to vibrate and for how long and could be sinked to the movie d you could still have sound with the front left and right and center speaker you could use the left right back and sub to contol the vibrating motors .... a sinked rumbble pack for my plaything..something to look in to sure your dvd would cost more cuz it woudl come with the rumble pack but if it worked well I would pay up to 200 bucks for it. and it would be more virtual.. if I built a protype would any of the porn company be interested?

I just checked out a VR sex dvd and i loved it!! This is my new thing for sure...I just like the communication with the hot girl and you as the viewer.
VCA also introduced voice-activation which was really cool, but I don't know how that went over, or where it's going. I remember it was kind of empowering having them obey your spoken command though.
I thought that I would dislike the whole 'virtual sex' genre, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed Jenna's My Playthings. I hope they continue, but are they ever going to make a male one? I'm not even sure how it would work, but I think it would be a lot of fun!
Avatars; imagine advertising to impoverished students that they can appear on line showing their bodies for virtual sex with paying customers [no contact, no disease, no stigma] with their choice of made up live computer animated face - so they get to look beautiful, make lots of punters happy [and lots of money] and remain anonymous.
Squillions for the first to do it cost effectively, I think.
I guess "teledildonics" mandates electronically controlled cyberskin orifices for the randy punters to interact with, but I reckon the avatar / video stuff could be done now by someone with vision and a little funding. ;-)
I am just gobsmacked that people will pay six bucks a minute for a grainy "live" nude in a low res window on a computer screen - there's still one born every day I guess [as that would buy you your choice of live beautiful escort to fuck for real].
Virtual Sex with Briana is out just about everywhere. AdultDVDEmpire and AdultCDmovies for a couple have it, and Rog has already done a fine review of it on his site. It only came out a few days ago but it was made in 2001. I ordered it but have not gotten it yet.
I still like the VS and MP lines. I don't really get see any of the others so I'm not sure if the genre is dead or not. There are ways to improve it I think.
Give me a good Mike John POV movie and I'm just as happy.
It must be selling pretty well, since the place I ordered it from has it backordered.
Rog, I know it was from 2001, but did they use the digital creation pops, or did they use the pina colada stunt dick? I know the VS with Julia Ann was done around the same time as the Briana one and they used the much much better Pina Colada pops, but I was just curious. Thanks.
Aw man, are you shittin me rog? Thanks for the answer, but that is major bummer news. I knew it was older, but all of the ones made around that time had either all or mostly all of the pops done with a gravy dick or whatever you want to call it, in each position. That is a huge step backwards if they just used the same pop in each scene with no variance. I'm gonna be bitching to DP after I get my copy then, cause that is completely unacceptable. Even the old horribly shitty digital pops with the girls atleast acting like it was something would have been better than the same shot. Another major letdown in the genre it would appear.
I would love to hear feedback about Groupie Love. 8 different girls. Several real pops. Huge BTS section. 3 full sex scenes. Just looking for opinions from fans of the interactive genre.
Had problems running this dvd. I tried swapping it for another copy, but the same problems and worse were present on the 2nd disc. Then on someone else's machine it worked fine. What's odd is my player displays no problems playing other dvds, and it's performed perfectly in the past with these virtual sex dvds. So who the hell knows what's going on.
As far as her performance, compared to other virtual sex genre dvd's it would be ranked in the bottom 3rd. She gives a bit of a handjob, which isn't always included (at the expense of one of the "blowjob" sections). The sit poses are pretty and semi-jerkworthy, but that's about it. The rest will have you wishing you were watching one of her other movies. She looks constipated while reading the scripted stuff, and at one point I was concerned she was going to fall down. Internal pops for both sits (i.e. non-existent), with jelly jizz for the mostly uninspired mish and dog, real for the bj. Don't remember the anal pop, probably because that section never played all the way through.
Playing with Nautica Thorn. What? Huh? from Anarchy Films. What? Has this been checked out by anybody? Is anything new or changed from the usual virtual disc?
Also, what became of the Stormy offering. Did getting it out by the AVN awards deadline prove too stiff and throbbing a challenge, so they postponed it? Or is it coming out soon.
