Like I said we don't really consider ourselves boyfriends philosophically but... kind of I guess?
It happens a lot in VR Chat. I mean it is literally like you're stood/sat with someone and feels like you're in an actual location, there's lip syncing that recognises the sounds you make when speaking and makes the mouth move just right so it all feels very real. And if you're lucky enough to feel phantom touch (I do) then when you're touched/hugged/etc your brain is fooled into feeling a tingling and warmth.
