Inhabiting a female form, mounted by a musclebound stud is far afield from my typical sexual experience. For me, the female perspective video was perhaps the most interesting, because it offered me a kind of out-of-body experience I have never had before. I watched compilation demo reels from both the male and female perspective. It’s startling to encounter them at true, human scale - sweaty, doubly-artificial breasts bobbing inches from your face.Īll of the content is heterosexual, mainstream porn, in line with the site’s predominant user-base, with the promise of greater diversity and more genre representation as the VR market grows. Unless you watch on a very large screen, people in porn videos are almost always quite small, relatively speaking.

The sense of scale was perhaps the most striking part. Even having experienced a lot of virtual reality over the previous few days, my imagination could not prepare me porn calls upon very animal parts of the brain, so to encounter it in such a personal way is visceral. More than just being up close and personal with a POV video, VR porn is a different beast all its own. It’s difficult to communicate in writing just how jarring the experience was. You can focus on whatever you fancy, whether it’s down at the naughty bits, lovingly up into your virtual partner’s eyes, over into the corner of the room, trying to identify the books on the shelf. The filming process necessitates passivity, so your avatar never exerts itself more than a bit of light humping. Strip club rules apply, so it’s look, but don’t touch (however much it really does feel like you could). Looking down, you see your toned, virtual body, sitting or lying back passively as sex happens all up on you. You can look around freely for 180-degrees in front of you, the room just ending in a hard black plane around the periphery of your vision. You find yourself in a room, unable to move. POV (point of view) is already a major keyword in online porn, but VR takes the genre to a whole new level. I tried virtual pornography last week in a hotel room cocktail party at CES. It should come as no surprise then that here at the dawn of feasible, widespread virtual reality, leading porn producer Naughty America is ready with VR porn for the masses. Look back as far as ancient cave paintings and you can find sex it’s one of the first things we do with any new medium.

Throughout the last few decades, the pornography industry has been an aggressive early adopter of emerging media technology, accelerating the general adoption of formats like VHS, DVD, and streaming video.
