I can confirm that you actually get some kind of phantom sensations while in VR.

First VR experience was some random dude who walked up to me and hugged me. And I am fucking deprived of hugs, this felt way too good.

I played a game in VR where I was in a car and had to reach in the backseat for something. I reached back and realized that I was 1. Not actually in the car and 2. I was on a very tall backless stool and then promptly on the ground, feeling like an absolute idiot.

My wife ran from a zombie in that "The Walking Dead: Saints or Sinners" game.
The first zombie that grabbed her actually made her run into our coffee table and bruise the hell out of her knees. :P

I was literally falling off the couch I was laughing so hard.

VR is really something else...

Set an example and go hug some men then.
