The immense popularity of virtual reality pornography in Japan led the country's first ever VR porn festival being cancelled last month amid crowd trouble.

The "Adult VR Fest 01" showcased the latest developments in VR pornography including a variety of terrifying looking VR sex accessories.

The event took place in the Akihabara region of Tokyo and was reported on by Japanese blogger Eizo0000.

From a translation of that blog, it is understood that only a few lucky punters managed to gain access before the police acted to disperse the enormous crowd of sweaty-palmed porn fans.

The authorities were forced to act to end the festival prematurely, because of concerns that the over-excited mob might work themselves into a riotous frenzy if not able to enter the venue.

Festival staff were seen in tears following the police action, but thankfully EiZo000 managed to join the VR porn aficionados inside.

Extremely excited porno enthusiasts were seen rushing to have a go on some of the latest virtual reality sex simulating gadgets.

The blogger managed to snap a few pics of the VR smut fans trying out the new cutting edge sex tech.

This included the early adopters 'interacting' with machines designed to simulate the feeling of coitus with another human being, while using a VR headset.

Some of these 'assistive technologies' look terrifying, particularly if concerns about a rebellion of artificially intelligent robots plays on your mind. In particular, you might think twice about putting anything near this gadget, which doesn't require much explanation:

Don't worry if you missed the festival, robot sex fans will be able to check out all the new VR porn gadgetry at Adult VR Festa 02, scheduled for August.

You will need a ticket for that one though, and probably some wet wipes.
