A research project I could never do.

While exploring some research articles today on embodiment, presence, and psychological effects of VR I decided that there was a piece of research I would love to read. I would love to read about a study similar in desig to: X number of participant pairs

long term partners, recent partners, 'unknown' partners, heterosexual and homosexual pairings, all (legal) age ranges, etc

Participants complete a questionnaire and interview immediately after engaging in a coital exercise. Participants also complete the questionairre on another date where they were given instructions to the effect of 'the goal of todays session is for Partner1 to pleasure Partner 2 only.

Repeat of session 2 but with roles reversed.

Questionnaire would be designed to rate each partners satisfaction, excitement, attraction to partner, and emotional state during each session. Honest answers will be stressed as essential and reassurances of results confidentiality and participant confidentiality would be paramount.

Repeat of session 1 twice, each time with one of the partners wearing a VR headset and watching an immersive pornographic experience of their choice (selected from a options to cover a spectrum of physical ideals). Repeat of sessions 2 and 3 with the partner that is the focus of being pleasured wearing the VR headset.

Examination of data to determine the effects (if any) that including immersive VR digital 'partner' doubles has on satisfaction and enjoyment of coital experiences among partners. Look at the differences in data amongst the different demographics, relationship type, age, gender, sexual orientation, etc Discussion, if there is a positive correlation is there potential for this to be a monogamy friendly therapy for sexually frustrated couples?

Reasons I can never do this project.

1. Psychology is not my discipline

2. I have no specialist training in sexology

3. I just want the results, I have no interest in running an experiment like this on a sufficient number of pairs to get a representative sample.
