That reminds me of an extremely strange part of a movie, Brainstorm from 1983. The movie is about a device that attaches like an EEG and records (on tape!) all the sensory input the person is having, and can be played back for someone else to experience. One guy who’s kind of a jerk records himself having sex then cuts out a loop of tape with just when he came. He is found by the other characters playing it back, having had something like an 8 hour long orgasm. Bizarrely, afterwards he was much nicer and wiser. This is how I remember it anyway. I might have to watch it again.
TL;DR A guy reaches enlightenment from sci-fi VR porn.

Is the movie good? So far I’m intrigued.

Not really. Not good bad either, just sort of bland and mediocre. The movie is not as interesting as its premise.
It does have Christopher Walken in it though.
