The metaverse universe, which has recently become increasingly popular, is predicted to be able to provide virtual experiences like in real life. With an avatar representing him, people can almost do anything later, including the possibility of later having an affair.
Armed with increasingly sophisticated virtual reality (VR) devices, the metaverse universe is even more realistic. The romance in the virtual world is nothing new. In the past, the game Second Life, the forerunner of the virtual universe, allowed its users to engage in such relationships.
The virtual world will someday, when it is more widely used, may be vulnerable to infidelity. So, what is the size of a person who is categorized as oblivious in the metaverse universe?
SX Noir as president of Women of Sextech said that the parameters of infidelity in the metaverse world center on whether an avatar deviates from another avatar and both represent someone who really exists, not an artificial intelligence avatar or the like.
"Is it an affair if there is a real person on the other side?" he asked. Noir also assessed that the affair had occurred if the avatar who was invited to interact was a real person who was aware of his actions and did not mind doing it.
Romantic relationships in the metaverse can vary, from just flirting to maybe having sex someday.
Even though there was no physical contact, Holly Richmond as a marriage consultant said that there had been an affair if someone already had a partner and did it in secret.
In order to avoid unwanted things and minimize suspicion, Richmond suggests that it is better for couples to communicate with each other and talk about what the boundaries of relating to the opposite sex are in the metaverse.
Otherwise, misunderstandings may arise. "That's why one party considers what he is doing in the metaverse is not cheating and the partner feels devastated by it," he said, as quoted by us from Bustle.
