Wikipedia defines Virtual Reality as a simulated experience that can be similar or completely different from the real world. Again it goes ahead to explain that VR porn as the technology. It allows a user to receive tactile sensations from remote participants or fictional characters through the use of computer-controlled sex toys. In some cases, the user also wears a virtual reality headset to enable them to see and interact with their sex partners.
The Revolution of VR Porn
VR presented new opportunities for a struggling porn industry back in 2000. This saw the rise of independent porn tubes such as the world pornography giant, PornHub. In fact, Ela Darling admitted that after having done porn for eight years, she thought to try out the new technology. This saw the Kink VR team immediately embark on making her dream come true in 2014. Ela now at 31 was then at 22 when she achieved a physical and emotional connection with her fanatics on a solo masturbation scene.
Later, Ela went on to found VRTube, a virtual Reality Camming arena that guaranteed users the choice to choose between scenes as on dating Sims. This way, Ela ended up being the face of VR technology. For backing this Revolution, she appeared in Wired, The Verge, and The Guardian. In fact, she was one of the first individuals to wonder out loud on whether VR reality can really save the pornography business on a report on Record.
After having made a deal with Cam4, there was a wave of excitement. Finally, the VR porn queen was to go live on three different continents. These include; Europe, South, and North America. At that point and time, there was no single studio that could produce photo-realistic, 3D, 360 at very low bandwidth. However, later on, production studios such as Naughty America encompassed this new trend. In any case, in July 2015, it produced its first VR scene. This move was later welcomed by many other production studios then whose content is spread all over.
But fortunately, there are directories today that help you cut the chase for porn. Among them is the reputable ThePornDude.com, which outlines the best VR porn sites. These include BadoikVR, Virtual Real Porn, Naughty America, VRPorn.com, VRbangers, VRCosplayX, KinkVR, WankzVR, CzechVR, Yanks VR, HologirlsVR, VRB Gay, VirtualRealGay, PornFoxVR, MetaverseXXX, Cam4 among others. However, the real question is, how futuristic is VR porn?
The future of VR porn
For a while now, it has been difficult to really determine whether there is a future in VR porn technology. However, companies such as Camasultra are here to answer this question. This tech company is in the business of VR reality-based products. As CEO Adam Sutra claims, “it’s mostly because everyone loves VR.” The erotic tech startup firm intends to venture into the worlds of augmented and mixed reality in the coming years.
This technology combined will see to it that a porn performer’s image projection appears in front of a user. Well, while it might seem pretty challenging, it is only fair to think of it like this; VR today gets users to the environment in which the actor or actress is in. However, this technology will bring performers to Interact with a user in their own environment instead. How cool, right?
In fact, using body scans, Neuro mapping, and skeletal tracking, there has been quite a remarkable progress made by the company already. Now, are you ready for the future? Are you prepared to drop your VR goggles and have sex with your favorite performer’s avatars? How exciting does scanning your body to have a voyeur sex experience with someone else even sound like? Well, they say with technology comes greater responsibility.
This has worked in Hollywood blockbusters already, for instance, a scan of Gal Gadot was used to create a perfect breastplate for her character in the movie Wonder Woman. As shows like Black Mirror continue to explore the line between humans and humanoids, we can only hope for the best. This is because there are no ethical rules that govern to what extent companies take responsibility for their creation. Although I must admit that VR technology is pretty futuristic, imagine an era where you get to communicate through avatars. Have sex with them and even be preserved for future generations’ references in that form? However, for all of these to be possible, the current technology must be made affordable to the everyday VR consumer.
Challenges currently facing VR porn
Positions; VR porn is literally tiresome to keep up with. This is in the event that the porn video involves way too much sexual activity and change of positions. After all, what makes it more realistic is the POV view and sticking to the sex positions.
Format; people watch VR porn not only for the real sensual experience. But because by doing so, one is able also to experience what’s around, above, or even behind them. However, all this can be a tad too distracting at times.
Skipping to the main action, and depending on the VR headset, which you are using. It can either be easy or difficult to forward the videos to skip the boring storylines and get right into the action. This is because nobody wants to keep pulling their phones out of the cardboard only to forward and set it up once more.
Conclusion
Well, it seems like VR is here to stay. And while it might not hit us in its exact form in the future, it might even come in a better mode (performers in the form of avatars). The bottom line is that there is enough reason to believe that VR is the future!
