PS4 The Playroom Being Used by Some People for Live Sex Shows
- Thread starter Alex Co

As long as everyone involved is over the age of consent I see no problem with it. Of course for PR reasons they will shut it down, as much as they can, but I think people should be able to use this technology to stream whatever they are interested in.
I didn't know it was that kind of play room!
*bu-dum-tiss*
In all seriousness this was not a matter of if, it was a matter of when. It will be interesting to see what kind of PR speak Sony wheels out to sidestep any kind of controversy though, but I doubt this'll blow up.

also the kind of people that would stream their sex live are unlikely be the ones that care that strnagers see some trashi n thier room.
Kinect does not have a "just couple clicks" way of streaming kinect camera to twitch. PS4 has via playroom.Raziel said:
when it comes to streaming, its the countries where the stream is hosted laws. Since Twitch is US based, they have to oblidge to US laws, and thus means US age restriction. Unless they got a branch-company that hosts servers in UK or something, in which case it gets more muddy. This is also why me posting from europe still have to follow US law because escapist is hosted in US.Jamash said:
the console is just a tool. They cannot be held responsible just like a camera manufacturer cannot be held accountable for somoen using it to film a murder.
I think its not so much as its a live porn but as it is using a game streaming feature for nongaming content thing. they are basically misusing the tools. There is also a thing that Twitch has a 13+ age rating instead of 18+ which get some peoples panties in a twitsh because 13 year olds can only see brutal killing and not sex.Xman490 said:
Welp, this was about as inevitable as the tides xD
Seriously, did Sony expect anything less? Camera + live streaming options = pornography.
...Actually, scratch that, camera = pornography. Yeah, I'm surprised we didn't hear about this earlier.

I remember reading articles on the Internet about people exposing themselves on Xbox Live UNO using the Xbox 360 Vision Camera.
Funny **** truth be told.

Proofread? Nothing is misspelled, but this paragraph suddenly got sloppy with a couple of missing words and an incorrect word (if I'm going to pick nits), while the first paragraph was fine. Did The Playroom become a distraction?Alex Co said:
OT: It's a strange phenomenon, I think. Are the participants broadcasting monetized "performances"? Or, are they doing this simply for fun, and exhibition for exhibition's sake. If both, I'd like to see a comparison between the two to see which is more common. If the latter is more common, I wonder what - if anything - that says about human sexuality and the desire to see and broadcast sexual activity.
Also, as the photo would indicate, these individuals represent the peak of human evolution. If only all of us were walking petri dishes -- I mean -- * so gifted *.
I remember Fox News article on the Mass Effect "alien sex" thing and they called the Xbox 36o a Sexbox 360.fix-the-spade said:

Humans will get off on all kinds of crap. This is hardly the tip of the seedy iceburg, my beautifully innocent friend
Once again a corporation is blindsided by a basic tenet of human psychology: When confronted with a new technology or object, one of the two primary questions your average person will ask him- or herself is "can I use this for sex?". (The other is "can I use this for killing?".)
Forgive my ignorance (I am still "current" gen), but there's a room for people to watch people playing games and not the games they are playing?
Exactly how bored are these viewers?

A few days ago, a friend linked me one of these videos. It showed a man playing vidya while his heavily pregnant girlfriend, as drunk as the sea is wet, swayed next to him while drinking a beer. I presume she was his girlfriend; we weren't actually told in the video. Nonetheless, it was pretty disturbing.
I would have rathered that they'd just fucked instead.

Putting aside my heartily admitted enjoyment in the sight of wanton & free sexual expression, I don't think this is a "problem to be fixed" for Sony, so much a market to be properly implimented
Implement some sort of "NSFW; 18 only" message before entering channels that opt into it (& I know not everyone will opt in, but you'll have that) & you've more or less solved the dilemma. PSN already takes age verification when you subscribe, so it could even be automated
"Problem" solved
One could say the reverse too. "Anyone else find it incredibly funny how people find forcing live porn [on others] so objectionable?" Personally I'm in my twenties and I don't want to see idiotic masses of flesh griding against other, which is why I stay away from certain sites and why I would find something like this rageworthy.Xman490 said:
Such is the plight of Western culture. We're not allowed to force pornography on people who don't want it or shouldn't be seeing it in the first place.
Such is the plight of Western culture, isn't it funny how people find real images of beheadings and brutality so objectionable?
Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Quite frankly I hope the idiots that do this get perma-banned. I'd rather them be thrown in a pit and left to die, but such is the plight of Western culture.
Yeah, it's always about the West as well isn't it?
Funnily enough, an earlier survey said something about PS4 users being more likely to use their PS4 to watch others do the nasty except not with something the console was intended for.
Life isn't a paint advertisement; if people can think of a way they can broadcast themselves doing the dirty then they'll probably do it. Because they're human
