Virtual reality games.

You pull up the zip of your gaming suit and settle into the matching gaming chair. The suit resembles a wetsuit, complete with a hood, or if you are into fetishes, a latex gimp outfit. A short electrical lead hangs from the back of the neck collar and plugs into the chair, allowing your computer to transmit sensations of touch, heat, stimulation or even mild pain across your body, depending on the settings you have chosen. You fire up your PC and log onto the newly downloaded game that every gamer on the planet has been raving about and eagerly awaiting for months.

The game is a vast open world with fully AI controlled NPC's that are fully autonomous, each with their own personalities and motivations. Major and minor nations and factions from multiple species and races, all controlled by the AI, vie for power and dominance inside the game. Player characters aligning themselves wth a faction can tip the balance and, in time, even rise in influence and power to become leaders within the faction they chose to serve or remain independent and take missions as mercenaries and eventually become an entirely new faction.

Your first choice once the game has loaded is to choose the server you will play on, and you choose an adult server where you need to verify your age as 18+ before you can enter. This server has no nudity filter, and romance scenes do not skip and fade to black. The term romance is applied loosely; **** defeat sex or enslavement by either NPCs or other characters is possible, though avoidable if you choose to kill off your character and exit the game when this occurs. After verification, you move on to creating your character, and though you are a guy, you choose a female avatar. The avatars are photo-realistic, and this being an adult server, there is a staggering amount of customisation not only for the usual race, facial and body features, skin colour and hair, but also for breasts and genitalia. You spend the next couple of hours creating your character and tweaking every aspect until you create an avatar that matches your personal kink preference perfectly.

Lastly, you choose your class and distribute statistic points and skills. The starting stats and skills are limited for an entry-level character, but they will build with time as you earn experience and level up, of course. Once everything is to your liking, you pull the virtual reality goggles down over your gaming suit hood and enter the game.
