The Oculus Rift is the virtual reality head set that is set to change the world of gaming forever.

But there are many who think the next generation of VR will also revolutionise how we live our day to day lives - including how we have sex.

In a new BBC Three documentary, actor Tyger Drew-Honey explores the increasingly realistic world virtual reality, and meets Matt McMullen, founder of high end sex doll manufacturer RealDoll.

McMullen has created an app that allows the user to programme a sex doll to have whatever personality - or lack of - they wish.

"If you don't want her to be smart she won't be smart," says McMullen. "If you want her to be shy she will be shy."

McMullen then explains how the app will be compatible with the Oculus Rift.

"The idea would be you could tell the app attached to the VR and you have your headphones on and you're in a swish chalet somewhere with this girl you've created.

"You just become this digital creature in this world."

At one point Drew Honey addresses the topless virtual reality girl by saying: "I love you."

She responds: "I love to get naked for you. But let's see if you can take my pants off."

McMullen says the company is working on merging virtual reality with sex dolls - allowing the user to create the appearance of whoever they wanted while simultaneously using the doll to simulate physical touch.

Tyger asks McMullen if this could one day mean the end of human prostitution.

"I don't know if it would be the end of it but I think it could certainly make a difference.

"There are a lot of horrible acts that are driven by sexual urges and if this is an available option and this is something that those people could, you know, get rid of their appetite whatever is, then I think that's a good thing."
