LOS ANGELES — The University of Southern California’s fertility center has taken up an offer from VR Bangers, accepting a virtual reality headset pre-loaded with adult content so that men be aided in collecting sperm.
“We are very sensitive to all of our patients’ needs and the stress of collecting a sperm specimen in a doctor’s office is a major source of stress for our male patients,” said Dr. Richard Paulson of the USC Keck School of Medicine in a press release. “The VR unit from VR Bangers offers the patient an opportunity to leave, in a virtual way, the stressful environment of the collection room and makes the experience more pleasant.”
The immersive, 360-degree content is available to sperm donors at the USC fertility center, and it might be introduced at other fertility centers as well, said Daniel Abramovich, CEO of VR Bangers.
"We're proud of being the first VR adult entertainment company in the world to provide this kind of technology for people in fertility centers, like work we are doing with USC. In the coming months, I look forward to bringing relief to many other clinics around the world," Abramovich said.
"Human sexuality and the procreation of our species are important aspects of a healthy life for every family. Anything we can do to ease the hardship of people going through the in vitro fertilization process with our award-winning hardcore content is something we are eager to offer people everywhere.”
