What is VR Porn?

Written May 9, 2016

The porn industry has always been an early adopter when it comes to embracing new technology. The industry has been accelerating the adoption of formats like VHS, DVD and streaming videos. So it should come as no surprise that the porn industry is now entering VR porn.

Over the last 2 years, I have followed the development of virtual reality and I am a big fan of VR and all the possibilities that come with it. I have also tried a lot of VR experiences, however it wasn’t until recently that I tried VR porn – and realized what an experience that was!

The first time I saw something about VR porn, was when I saw a YouTube infomercial from BadoinkVR (an American VR porn company) and I got psyched. I said to myself – I need to try that! In the video, various kinds of people slipped on a Samsung Gear VR headset and tried VR porn for the first time. The way the people in the YouTube video described how immersive, realistic and lifelike it all was, which convinced me to try it. I bought myself a premium VR headset and searched around the Internet to find out which VR porn site was the best for me to start off with. However, finding the best VR Porn was difficult, and ended up making me spend countless hours exploring in virtual reality.

Before I tried VR porn, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Even though I had watched YouTube videos of how people reacted to this new way of watching porn, I still did not know if I would be into strapping a VR headset on my face. Some of the questions I asked myself weree: Would I be a spectator in a room watching people having sex? Or would I actually be having virtual reality sex? Later I found that I was able to do both.

The quest for finding all the answers started with me slipping on my headset and pressing the play button in that first VR porn video.

I found myself teleported into a bedroom. Just in front of me was a female pornstar talking dirty to me. I then looked down and I saw a guy’s body. I was a bit confused, because it wasn’t my muscular body. I quickly realised that I was now “this body”. Within just a few moments, this super hot pornstar was performing oral sex on this VR guy, or should I say, me.

Despite the fact that I knew, that this pornstar was not actually there in front of me, and that the guy’s body was not my own, a big part of me still thought it was real. During another video a girl leaned close to me, and tried to kiss me, and I leaned back like it was too much. I also tried it from a girl´s POV. That was not my cup of tea, and definitely too much for me, but again very immersive and lifelike.

Like other VR experiences I have tried, VR porn is undoubtedly very immersive. I really do feel I am closer to the “real deal.”  After I tried VR porn, I can honestly say that I will probably never watch regular porn again.

At the moment there are around a dozen serious contenders producing VR porn. There is a big variety in genres, quality, their archive of porn etc. My own first-hand experience with porn is first of all to look for some good quality in the videos, and then secondly the content. I personally like when you can look at least 220-degrees in front of you. I also like porn sites who offer binaural sound to enhance that realistic and immersive feeling. Like everything else, porn is biased. I can only hope you too will have a good experience like I have had, and maybe take advantage of our reviews to guide you on the right path of VR porn.

Porn is already a billion dollar industry and with VR I definitely see a change in the industry. During recent years, the porn industry has already tried to make it even more realistic, and now the possibility with VR is here. The future is here.

Now you know what VR porn is – or do you..? In order to really know, there is no way around it – you have to try it out yourself. In order to get you the best possible start we have created this guide, where you can learn more on how to get started with VR porn.
