summary

Uses the Story Completion Method with 45 participants recruited largely via Reddit and fan‑fiction communities to complete a stem about a man’s first VR porn experience. Analysis finds two clear narratives: a sensory, hyperreal perfect encounter (intense orgasms, amplified touch/taste/smell) and a precarious one (addiction, shame, corruption—examples range from relationship repair via shared headset to grotesque larval brain damage). Sample skews mixed gender with 15 non‑heterosexuals but only three regular/semi‑regular VR users; authors propose “designing for eroticism” to avoid reproducing heteronormative, male‑centric tropes.
