Porn’s biggest star is hosting a virtual gangbang

This article contains sexually explicit material.

Why have sex with a human when you can buy another techie toy and stay home alone?

That may have been the question that the inventors of teledildonics (computer-controlled sex toys) asked themselves as they created an entire new field of human sexuality. And on October 21, the Internet’s most popular porn star will take part in the first massive virtual orgy—with as many sex partners as her server can manage.

On Thursday, the company that makes Fleshlight, that cyberskin male masturbation tube toy, announced that it was partnering with Lisa Ann to throw the “world’s first interactive gangbang.”

Lisa Ann skyrocketed to popularity after a video (Who’s Nailin’ Palin) capitalized on the actress’s close resemblance to former Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin. In 2014, Lisa Ann was the most searched term on Pornhub, beating out all other porn stars and popular searches like “lesbian,” “teen,” and “Kim Kardashian.”

Lisa Ann’s stardom is untouchable in the porn world. So it makes sense, then, that she would take on more sex partners than anyone in the history of the universe ever has—without having to physically touch a single one.

In January, Daily Dot reporter Rae Votta tried out virtual sex using the Kiiroo pearl dildo and Fleshlight-like Onyx. The Kiiroo, which Lisa Ann will use on herself during the cyber-orgy, picks up the massaging sensations that the user transmits during use.  The Kiiroo, which Lisa Ann will use on herself during the cyber-orgy, picks up the massaging sensations that the user transmits during use. Every contraction is then sent through the network and to the other tool—in this case, the Onyx, a Fleshlight-Kiiroo creation that will surely sell like hotcakes once porn fans once porn fans with penises find out they can use one to get it on with Lisa Ann.

Women may soon be able to participate in lesbian virtual orgies, too. The Daily Dot reached out to Kiiroo on Twitter to ask about the possibility of linking the pearl dildos for shared sensations and was told, “We are working super hard to make progress in that direction.” In an email, Kim Pot, Communication Manager for Kiiroo said, “We are updating the Pearl and the Pearl can also connect to Lisa Ann.”

For guys, it’s easy to get close: The porn star already has her own Fleshlight model. The $79.95 item is called, simply, “Lisa Ann’s vagina.”

The implications of virtual sex using teledildonic toys are endless. Not only could it put camming at the top of the sex industry’s economic ladder, it could also rid the world of the need for things like STD barriers and birth control.

But teledildonics has a potential dark side, too. With the Ashley Madison hack revealing tens of millions of infidelities across the world, teledildonics presents a new way to leave behind a damning data trail of your sex life. And what if someone were to surreptitiously hack into the sex you are having with your partner while they are out of town, or some other violation of consent? The possibilities for the future of virtual sex are both exciting and worrisome.
