Common PC Video Games Used To Treat Phobias

Posted by michael on from the fear-of-railguns dept.

NoData writes "Treating phobias with exposure therapy--gradually putting patients in fear-inducing situations, is a well-established method, even using virtual means, like VR simulators. However, now CNN is reporting on research that shows off-the-shelf PC video games can effectively treat phobias as well. Games like "Half-Life" were used to treat arachnophobia, and "Unreal Tournament" to treat acrophobia and claustrophobia."

    I will cum on your forehead and you will lick it up. I will jizz all over you and you will like it. I will bukkake you until you drown in milky-white man-cum. And then I'll shove my monster throbbing cock of doom down your throat and up your nostrils, and you'll like that even more.
