Virtual reality porn promises to change the experience we have of porn. From simple passive watchers, we might become active participants in the fantasies we will watch through our VR glasses.

What makes the VR porn experience better than ‘normal’ (2D) porn?

The existence of 2D POV porn shows that this was a problem of enforced distance that needed to be overcome. VR porn allows a viewer to take a pivotal role in the sex. With 3D imagery and spatialized sound, experiencing VR porn offers a major increase in the feeling of immersion. In terms of viewer immersion and sensory experience, it’s akin to the difference between still photographs and HD video.
How big is VR porn, anyways? Is it already mature or still in development? Is the content available only geared towards cis man, for example?
VR porn was one of the more successful utilizations of burgeoning VR technology. Although early VR porn creations might now seem primitive, it rapidly matured into its own distinct form of entertainment. Very few other VR productions provide the direct experience that VR porn does. That said, VR porn is continually evolving with new breakthroughs happening at a steady pace. The content itself is also evolving with changing social attitudes towards all kinds of sexualities, gender identities, and sexual experiences. Although mainstream content does favor heteronormative male viewers, VR porn is definitely not just for cis men – it has something for every adult.
To what extent has the Covid lockdown contributed to the growth of VR porn?
Many people locked down during the COVID pandemic were single and lived either alone or with friends. Dating was interrupted and people looked for new ways to experience intimacy with other human beings. Although most VR porn is a pre-shot production, it nevertheless allowed people to explore intimate scenarios with other real human beings. The VR porn industry did welcome many new viewers during the COVID era and that growth continues now that the threat of COVID has diminished and lockdowns have ceased.
In many cases, porn was the killer app for technology breakthroughs (VHS, photography, the internet as a whole, …). Will Porn be that killer app for VR?
Porn already is the killer app for VR. Major VR hardware creators are not especially inclined to note the success of VR porn since they’re usually trying to push content more appropriate to as wide a demographic as possible but behind closed doors, they would have to acknowledge the major role VR porn has played in bringing VR to the masses. Much like PornHub became among the most commonly used video streaming sites for smartphone users, VR porn is among the top content favored by VR device users. With many tech giants banking on AR (Augmented Reality) being the next major advance, it will be exciting to see how porn pushes AR tech ahead. That is already starting to happen.
Does VR porn already work with teledildonics (integrated sex toys)?
Many teledildonic devices are already compatible with VR porn and most definitely enhance the experience for the viewer. The first sex toys to be tailored for use with VR porn arrived in 2015 and this arena has clearly progressed since that time. ‘SmartScripts’ and Haptic Scripts are available for some VR porn scenes and give users physical sensations to match what is happening in VR. Now, dozens of devices can be used to enhance VR porn and create greater immersion and satisfaction.
Will VR porn play a role in the Metaverse? How? Won’t the major platforms (like Meta/Facebook) try to put a hold to that?
Meta, Apple, and other major companies that may publicly denounce VR porn are nevertheless aiding adult use of their platforms in one way or another. Whether by spurring on tech developments or simply allowing freer use of certain tools and platforms than they may claim. For any metaverse to be truly satisfactory, adult content and adult experiences must have a place.
What do you need to experience VR porn?
A quality VR headset can be purchased for as little as $100 if you buy refurbished. Even at full retail price, something like Meta Quest 2 is affordable and accessible to really anyone who might be considering making the leap into VR. Even a smartphone can suffice if you just want a taste of what VR porn can offer. Any broadband connection will be sufficient and there are many places to find quality VR porn today, from studio sites focused on one niche to sites that operate similarly to Netflix and Hulu, just fully loaded with huge collections of VR porn, some free, some behind a paywall.
And how can a user get the most out of his or her experience?
Mobility is an issue when it comes to all VR content. VR porn features interactions that heavily rely on the position of the person represented in VR being appropriately relative to that of the viewer. Whereas a VR app like Beat Saber might require you to have at least enough free room to swing a cat, VR porn works best when you can find a comfortable space in which you can stand, sit, and maybe lay down. Obviously it’s best to enjoy VR porn when there’s nobody else home. At the very least, locking the door is advisable. After all, your visual access to the real world will be obscured by a vivid sexual experience and you don’t want someone finding you “enjoying yourself” out of nowhere.
