Yup, direct cabling is viewed akin to petting in the Accel World anime because it allows cablers to directly stimulate each other. And in the game world, direct cabling is used to ensure privacy, which can be used for various means.

There is also an Unlimited Neural Field, which is a non-instanced common world divided into local exchange servers. While less private, making out here is akin to making out in a secluded part of a park for example.

Spoiler for AW FFT SPOILER:

That's my fic, about Gold Cub. He always logs into AW from a hospital, and the first thing he talks about is being able to feel again.

In a sense, I'm writing a AW fic that's inspired by SAO.
