Playing God and Virtual Sex

I didn’t play World of Warcraft very long, though I have spent my share of hours in other virtual fantasy worlds, but one of the first things I saw when I played WoW was two winsome elf girls stripped to their virtual skivvies engaging in semi-explicit cyber sex. Since those early days, WoW has grown to be a world within a world with over 12 million players worldwide. It’s a fair bet that there are still plenty of sex-minded elves out there.

Not long after some Paleolithic artist first painted on a cave wall, someone invented erotic art. Very likely, even before that, someone told an erotic story around a campfire. Every art form, every development in communications has rapidly been converted to the cause of amorous depiction. If media is the extension of our senses, it’s only natural that we would find new ways to stimulate the mind and body with new tools.

Perhaps the greatest boon ever to the welfare of erotic imaginations is the internet. Even when the World Wide Web was only inhabited by fewer than 5% of the world, x-rated chat rooms sprang up like rude, phallic mushrooms. In the years since, the internet has proven to be a vast, delightful playground for healthy adult imaginations.

Early on, artificial environments called MUDs offered fantasy fans a text-based interactive environment to play out their dragon-killing and wench-seducing fantasies, and sexy interplay has been part of online worlds ever since. I’ve written about virtual world sex on my blog several times and I still find it a fascinating expression of our desire to enjoy imaginative stimulation with each other.

My upcoming release Playing God is about virtual world cyber sex. Even five years ago, this story would probably have been incomprehensible to most readers, but with the universality of WoW and the popularity of other games, I suspect the concepts will be familiar to many people, even if they’ve never cyber-fucked a virtual dark elf.

Playing God is the story of two game company employees – customer service reps for a popular fantasy game – who routinely watch players engage in online encounters. They develop a fascination with a particularly talented pair of players and, when a real-life event offers an opportunity to get together in the flesh, well, let’s just say that reality beats fantasy…

I had fun writing the story. Like much of my work, it shares the virtue of  telling a tale that explores my fascination with eros as an expression of divinity, even while giving a voyeur’s eye to the world of fantasy cyber-sex.

Computer and video games are arguably the art form of the new millennium and it makes sense that they too have become a medium for sexy encounters. The best of them stimulate our imaginations and, when creative people with a taste for sexy fun join in, things are bound to become spicy – and fantastic!

The mind is, after all, the ultimate erogenous zone.
