Keanu Reeves is one of
the most adored personalities of Hollywood, so it does not come as a surprise
that fans tried to simulate sex with his avatar in ‘Cyberpunk 2077’. In the
game, Reeves voices the character of Johnny Silverhand. Since the character is
modelled to look like him, fans have gone crazy and managed to find a game
function allowing them to have sex with Silverhand.
Notably, the
characters remain fully clothed during these encounters. CD Projekt Red, the
minds behind the game, have taken down this modification. However, the ‘Point
Break’ star has said that he is okay with being the subject of so many players’
sexual fantasies. He cheekily said that it is always nice, if others find it
nice.

The actor also
elaborated that porn has a lot of money, and there are situations where people
have digital sex with the avatars. He appeared to be referencing Only Fans, calling
it ‘Members Only’. Reeves continued saying that there were numerous fetishes
which were monetized, like VR sexual simulation. He also spoke about arousal
metrics being used to analyze user data. Reeves’ point was that with the digitization
of one’s sexual experience, and the further monetization of it, there couldn’t
really be any complaints about players trying to have sex with an in-game
avatar.
