In 2007, the creator of Second Life stated: "Sex is a sign that the virtual world is solid and prosperous [...] In many ways, the presence of sex as a creative expression and playful behaviour is a healthy aspect of the platform because it shows that we are doing something right [...] The presence of sex is also a sign that people are connecting with the community, with each other”.

However, these two fields are not currently part of the Metaverse usages, or they are barely visible and poorly represented. On the second day of the Metaverse Dialogues, a spokesperson from the French company Dorcel remarked that:

• virtual reality headsets are not considered a particularly relevant device given their customers' consumption preferences (paid content, large percentage of consumption by couples);
• the quality of virtual reality headset experiences is not considered to be as satisfactory compared with other experiences on offer;
• there is currently no technology or technique that can provide 100% assurance that users within the Metaverse are of the right age to access this type of content.
