VR sex becomes a rape in cyberspace

by ccManager
Commentary summary:
The ultimate in virtual sex turns violent when the primal mind takes over

Text Commentary:

The Citizen Kane of cybersex movies, Lawnmower Man promises that "in here, we can be anything we want to be." In this fantasy of the cinematic imaginary, bodies become liquid and unconstrained by laws of physics and biology as they play out the ultimate in VR fantasy narratives, tapping into the character's "primal mind" until it becomes a literalization of the famed cautionary tale of early internet culture, "A Rape in Cyberspace."
