Porn and Virtual Reality – is VR Porn worth it?

Even if you’ve never tried a VR headset, you’ve undoubtedly heard of it. Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming increasingly popular and accessible. With the rise of VR porn, we’re wondering if it’s time to get into this exciting tech ourselves as well! But is the hype justified? How much more appealing does porn become through the lenses of those nifty VR glasses?

What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality is computer technology that allows you to see a three-dimensional environment around you by means of a special headset. In many simulations and games, you can even walk around and interact with the environment. Amazingly, the invention of virtual reality started over 60 years ago. But it wasn’t until around 2010 that this technology became impressive and affordable enough for a wide audience, which is why it has soared in popularity.

What is VR porn?

This breakthrough did not go unnoticed! It didn’t take long for the first virtual reality porn to make its way through the internet. Now, a simple Google search puts a wide range of VR porn at your fingertips. This consists mainly of porn films made with a 180, 220, or sometimes even a 360-degree camera, but there are also various erotic games and web-cam model streams to enjoy.

What’s it like to watch porn in VR?

The benefits

When you use a VR headset, it feels as if you are in a three-dimensional environment. This makes it even easier to imagine yourself in a porno film. In a way, the experience becomes much more realistic. The effect of VR glasses cannot be compared to those blue and red 3D glasses from the cinema! In addition, most VR porn is really meant for a VR headset, so you get access to all kinds of new, exciting content.

The drawbacks

For an average VR porn experience, you can expect a price tag of at least a few hundred pounds. Some devices connect to a smartphone, while others are intended for the computer. What websites or subscriptions do you want to use? You’ll have to learn and get used to how it works. Of course, you have to put the headset on and take it off, and that’s not particularly convenient or comfortable when masturbating...

Useful to know

The difference in quality between free and paid porn will not surprise you. But beware, as this is even more evident with virtual reality. This is because the production costs are often higher than for average porn, so a subscription can be attractive!

There’s also a noticeable difference in quality between streaming and downloading VR porn. With streaming, the image quality is generally lower, and you can experience technical issues and errors. High quality virtual reality uses large files, which can cause problems with the internet connection. Downloading VR porn can take a while and takes up quite a bit of space, but it does provide a smoother viewing experience.

Is VR porn worth it?

The fact that virtual reality is impressive is undeniable. It literally adds a dimension to your viewing experience. We’re slowly but surely moving towards VR, and that’s a given! However, VR porn probably won’t become more popular than 2D porn.

The VR headset is still a luxury product. Most common porn is cheaper, more accessible, and easier to use. A popular sentiment also warns that if we use it irresponsibly, VR is going to turn many people into addicts.

So… what’s the verdict? Is VR porn worth it? Let us hear your thoughts ; )
