I understand why some erotic dancers shy away from extensive FBT it requires quite a convoluted setup. While some spend a fortune getting tracks for nearly every nook and cranny of their body, Virgo4u said, for the sake of simplicity and saving money, you could do just fine with trackers for the head, hands, waist and feet (your headset and controllers should take care of the first two). Although I had a chance to practice my erotic-dancer moves at Club B33, Virgo4u, the club owner and founder of Club Zodiac (a private, suitable-for-work club inside VRChat), told me that the real strip clubs - where all the action happens - are privatized and have various degrees of exclusiveness.įull-body trackers from Tundra for VRChat (Image credit: Tundra) If you thought, like me, that you could just pull up VRChat, search for strip clubs, and end up in the seedy underbelly of the metaverse, you’re way off track. How does one become an exotic dancer in the metaverse? The real money in VRChat comes from avatar creation, DJing, and other niches, but that’s for a whole ‘nother article. They often set their own prices, and yes, people are willing to pay them, especially if they’re huge fans.īut for the most part, exotic dancers simply dance for fun - sans the expectation of being paid. Keep in mind, though, that just like in real life, there are fortuitous days in which a dancer can make a satisfactory chunk of change, but other times, they may not be so lucky.Įrotic dancers featured in "The Hidden Performers of the Metaverse."

You may be wondering,“What’s a more accurate figure?” A YouTuber with the handle Twortles answered this question by interviewing VRChat exotic dancers in a riveting documentary titled, “The Hidden Performers of the Metaverse.” Some claimed that they don’t make a dime (they just do it for fun) while others said that, on good nights, they can collect up to $2,000 in one month.

Well, I’m not saying it’s totally impossible, but it’s definitely improbable. According to the Daily Dot, the TikToker is a scammer who created the video to lure viewers into joining his Discord server. “There’s no way in hell that’s true.” After doing some research, my skepticism was justified.

You may be wondering, "What's a metaverse stripper's income?" Before I dive into this topic, let me tell you what compelled me to explore the steamy side of the metaverse. I may have shook my hot dog buns for free, but as it turns out, there are erotic dancers who get tipped for their skills. If you think that VR-based erotic dancers have it easy, simply strapping on a headset and shake their bums, stick around because, let me tell you, materializing your frisky side in the metaverse is not the walk in the park you think it is. I completely underestimated how much mental preparedness, balance and coordination (you need to appear to hold the pole while dancing), and communication skills (for dirty talk, of course) one needs to successfully execute a pole-dancing routine in the metaverse from start to finish.
