As of right now, the only advancement in modern technology that can truly be considered groundbreaking is virtual reality. Everyone concerned needs to pay attention when one of the biggest corporations in the world (Facebook and Meta, respectively) starts to invest a sizable sum of money in something.
In one area, adult content, virtual reality has already established itself as the dominant medium, despite the fact that it still struggles to make a name for itself in more traditional forms of media and culture. VR porn is gaining popularity among adult content consumers, as evidenced by the increasing number of adult websites offering VR content.
Several adult platforms, including OnlyFans, have adopted VR technology to attract more creators and users, providing a more immersive experience for fans. OnlyFans’ search engine has been widely used to find creators who offer VR content, demonstrating the growing demand for this technology in the adult entertainment industry.
Why, though, is that the case, and is virtual reality erotica really that superior to traditional 2D erotica? First things first, let’s prepare a box of tissues and then we will investigate.
A Brief Examination of the Role of the Virtual Reality Sector in Adult Entertainment
Although pointing out that pornographic websites occupy a large portion of the internet has become somewhat of a cliche at this point, everyone is aware of this fact. Adult content is so easily found that many users need to use specialized software to filter it out, even though its percentage is actually much lower than you might think—just 4% of the entire content.
Virtual reality (VR) websites are becoming more and more popular, while traditional web pages are not as much. By 2017, the percentage of websites with adult content on them was close to 60%, and the number of visits kept rising. Since virtual reality has become more common in popular culture over the past few years, it’s possible that the percentage has dropped, but this change was probably only slight.
The vast majority of users are men who identify as such when it comes to users. Seven out of ten men who have used virtual reality devices are estimated to have looked at pornographic content while doing so. Comparatively, only 57% of women said they followed the same routines.
Not to mention, with over 31% of the market share in terms of countries of origin, the United States commands the highest share of the market. Germany is not far behind the United States, with seven percent, and the United Kingdom is next with eight percent. Remarkably, in contrast to other developed countries, virtual reality (VR) content is still not widely accepted in Japan, even though the technology is easily accessible there.
Seeing the demand soar is quite remarkable, especially in light of the fact that these websites have only been operational for the previous five years or so. Users seem to be eager for sultry and sensual virtual reality experiences, and they seem to be much more at ease seeking them out than one might imagine.
Is Porn in Virtual Reality Really Better Than Traditional Porn?
Even though initial interest in virtual reality content is undoubtedly growing, do users prefer it over more conventional forms of pornography? There isn’t a lot of data on the subject, so it’s hard to say for sure, but anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that once you go virtual, there’s no going back. However, what is it about adult virtual reality entertainment that is so alluring? Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits and drawbacks:
Pro: Immersive content gives you the impression that you and another person are about to have sex in the same room. It’s much easier to get into the right mindset because of this. The player’s perspective is used to record the vast majority of VR scenes, but this is not always the argument in favor of each of them. Even when witnessing voyeuristic scenes in person, the encounter is considerably more engaging than when watching them on a flat screen.
Con: A More Comprehensive Initial Configuration Need Even though pornographic material is easily accessible online, the initial setup required to view such content is much longer. Conversely, navigating the experience is much more challenging. when utilizing synced sexual toys, especially when using virtual reality (VR) pornography.
Pro:Whole-Body Knowledge The amount of pleasure is much higher even though it takes longer to set up a virtual reality sex scene with toys. Life is usually easier for women now that teledildonics have become so popular, but there are also toys designed with men in mind. When all the components are in sync, the scene looks much more realistic.
Con: High Entry Cost: Manual masturbating has no cost involved, and using lubricant makes it a reasonably inexpensive activity even without it. Nevertheless, high-end virtual reality headsets can run up to $300, which does not include the cost of any toys.
When considering the big picture, tech-savvy people should find it quite logical to switch to virtual reality (VR) websites. The reward is definitely worthy of the effort and investment made, even though there is still a bit of a learning curve to overcome.
