Sex festival forced to close because too many people wanted to try out virtual reality porn
Staff closed the event due to fears of a riot breaking out
A Japanese sex festival had to close early due to fears of possible riots
Hundreds of porn-fans descended upon the Adult VR Fest 01 in Tokyo, which offered visitors the chance to try out virtual reality porn.
One of the opportunities on offer gave punters the chance to re-enact their favourite porn scenes with help from a VR headset and a male sex toy.
Other machines included a simulator which gave the illusion of a woman on top of a man, and another where users were asked to put their hand into a cardboard box, which blew air in a way that simulated squeezing a breast.
Organisers were not expecting such huge crowds to turn up, and the fear of overcrowding caused them to call off the event.
One blogger, only known as Eizo0000, claimed staff were so shocked by the overcrowding they were left in tears after the festival was called off.
"The event didn’t start until 2 PM, so I went there in high spirits an hour before then, but the city was already overflowing with people," the reported him as saying.
"There were so many that it was almost impossible to keep the situation under control. While waiting for my friends, I couldn’t help but think that if they couldn’t control the mass of people, a riot or something similar could happen.
"The 20 lucky guys closest to the building were let in by the staff. I’m sure there was a line inside the building that rivaled the one outside.
"These people are the people putting their lives on the line for Adult VR.
"They don’t like this world, and they know women don’t see them in a good light.
"They have their own needs that have yet to be fulfilled, but they don’t want to bother anyone with them.
"Thus, they turn to a new world.
"Honestly, they’re wonderful people hoping for a brave new world, and they’ll finally have one soon enough.
"There were plenty of problems while waiting to get in, but none of these patient gentlemen voiced any complaints.
"They simply waited silently to be let in. It was about 20 minutes after opening time when their leader appeared.
"For those who did get to go inside, excitement ran wild.
"I'm not entirely sure if the same thing would happen in the US, but VR porn enthusiasts rushed to have a go at some of the latest virtual reality gadgets."
Over the last two years the amount of people searching for virtual reality porn has increased by over 10,000 percent.
Bosses have vowed fans that next time the event will be held in a bigger venue to facilitate the erotica enthusiasts.
