The promise of virtual reality (VR) porn, to transform users from passive observers of sexual fantasies on screens into active participants in immersive erotic experiences, is alluring to anyone with even a passing interest in adult content.
Over the last year especially, as the pandemic has kept most of us homebound, the prospect of strapping on a headset and sliding into an orgiastic escape from our isolation and frustration has drawn even more potential users towards the technology. Yet many hesitate to take the plunge into the world of virtual reality porn simply because it's a new technology, dominated by new players, using new terminology. It can seem like a lot to learn.
And when VR porn first started rolling out in the mid-2010s, it absolutely was. For many years , the gear was extremely expensive, content was scarce, and experiences were hit-or-miss. But VR technology has evolved quickly and the porn world has pumped a ton of time and money into making its content more reliable and accessible. "Exploring VR porn is much easier today than it was one or two years ago," stresses sex tech blogger Tatyannah King .
So how exactly do you watch VR porn? Mashable recently spoke to King and other experts on virtual reality porn for this guide on getting into the exciting, if still developing, world of immersive smut.
In theory, you don’t actually need to buy any heavy-duty new equipment to watch VR content. All you need is a smartphone suspended in a headset that you can strap onto your to create an immersive, 3D illusion. It’s not hard to build a cardboard headset . Even fancier setups , with comfortable padding and straps, usually go for somewhere between $10 and $50. These headsets helped to democratize and popularize VR.
But Alex Novak of the VR porn platform SexLikeReal cautions that "no smartphone experience is any good." Kacper Zieliński of the VR porn site VR Bangers concurs, adding that these options may be budget-friendly, but they will really "give you only 20 percent of VR porn’s potential."
Most phones just don’t have the power, or the battery life, to run the the longest or most inventive VR content. It's also hard to control anything playing on them; to pause, fast forward, or do anything you usually have to take off the whole rig, grab your phone, and fiddle with the screen. You also have to install special apps to view VR content—and Apple especially is notoriously hostile to porn-specific apps, meaning that sometimes phone users have to jump through a few hoops to get to the content they’re looking for. These and other limitations have led most major companies, like Google, Oculus, and Samsung, to wind down production and support for their phone VR gear and services over the last year or two, and outlets like PC Mag to declare phone-based VR overall "effectively dead."
You need a dedicated VR device. High-end devices, with a lot of bells and whistles, can run well over $1,000, and often need to be hooked up to even pricier high-powered PCs to reach their full potential. But you don’t have to have one of those setups to get the most out of VR porn. In fact, everyone Mashable spoke to for this article immediately and exclusively recommended the new Oculus Quest 2 (opens in a new tab) , a standalone, wireless device that runs for $299. It’s a simple, plug-and-play system—just turn it on, open up its web browser using its included hand controllers, navigate to a porn site, and start viewing content. Easy peasy. "It can play the highest resolution videos there are," explains Dan Holmes of the VR platform POVR.
The only hitch is that Oculus is a Facebook brand, so a Quest 2 requires a Facebook account to sign in and get going. Facebook is a controversial company these days, with a spotty record around data handling, so you may want to create a burner account before getting off. But if Oculus is not your brand, Zieliński notes that there are plenty of other wireless standalone rigs to explore.
Dropping a few hundred dollars may seem like an excessive investment to get into VR porn. But Novak insists that it’s worth it, because you want your first VR porn experience to be good, and cheaper setups just cannot run the highest resolution videos that now define the market, and may struggle with lagging and glitches even with older content. It’s also a multi-purpose device that can be used for viewing SFW content, gaming, and many other diversions. Zieliński just recommends using a demo to figure out if you're prone to VR motion sickness , and if your nausea can be mitigated, before making a purchase.
Once you’ve got your device set up, you just need to figure out whether you want to stream or download your smut. The files for VR porn are massive , often clocking in at well over 10GB, and so downloads require patience and a ton of storage space. You may want to invest in an external storage drive if you go this route. But unless you have a stellar internet connection, which most Americans do not , streaming can lead to a rougher viewing experience, with skips and lags. Many experts argue that the VR porn experience with downloaded files is far smoother and therefore more immersive. But this choice ultimately boils down to an evaluation of your desires, tolerance for glitches, and internet resources.
Before you start exploring VR porn content, Kevin Campbell, a VR arcade owner and porn buff, recommends making sure you have a good space set up for the experience. In order to stay in the moment in VR porn, especially if you’ve opted for a popular POV experience, you may have to move around to follow the action of a scene. As you'll be zoned out from the real world in most cases, you will need a space where you won’t crash into anything dangerous or fragile. You'll also want to make sure you’ve got a door you can lock, if privacy is a concern.
If you feel so inclined, you can also explore the world of VR experience-integrated sex toys . But that's hardly essential to the experience, and the field would require its own guide to navigate. So, once you’ve got your setup fully prepared, you just have to figure out what you’re going to watch. The obvious choice would be to turn to Pornhub, which has over 3,000 free VR clips to explore. But thanks to the size and bandwidth intensity of VR files, free clips on general porn sites tend to be shorter (about 100 of Pornhub’s VR porn videos are over 15 minutes long; the vast majority run around 5 minutes) and heavily compressed, limiting their quality. As such, most of the VR porn experts Mashable spoke to recommend turning to a paid, VR porn specialty studio.
There are dozens of studios to choose from, most of which sell subscriptions for $10 to $50 per month, so figuring out where to start can be tricky—and making a decision can feel like a big step. But this decision, too, boils down to personal preferences: Do you want a site that specializes in only the highest quality content? Do you want a particularly deep and broad, but maybe uneven, library of content to choose from? Are you looking for a studio that specializes in one particular fetish you’ve been dying to see in VR? Other outlets have created intricately detailed guides, breaking down the pros and cons of the best and most established sites on the market right now. Between those guides and a little time spent looking at their preview content, you can find what’s best for your wants and needs.
"Once you’ve got the right setup," Novak says, "you are on top of it." Granted, depending on the exact nature of your device, the site you’ve opted for, and your personal preferences, you may need to fiddle around with your video settings a bit. (Most sites automatically adjust their content to work best with a viewer’s gear these days, Campbell notes. But when they don’t, he suggests starting with the settings “VR 180 / 3D Side-to-Side.”)
"It may take a little patience to learn to properly view—and navigate through—videos," Campbell cautions. As with any new device, there’s a learning curve. And in the end, it’s entirely possible VR porn as it stands today may not be for you. But that’s no reason to despair over the time and energy you’ve spent getting into VR porn.
As Campbell points out, the world of VR porn is rapidly evolving. So, as long as you’ve got the equipment, you can keep checking back every now and then to see if future innovations work better for your wants and needs. As Campbell says, “VR porn is only going to improve.”

Porn has always been an escape that allows you to play out your fantasies in an alternate reality. Now, thanks to VR porn , anyone with a smartphone can experience pornography from a hyperrealistic perspective. You may have heard that VR porn provides a more vivid and engaging experience. But if you’re wondering how to watch VR porn yourself, you’ll need a few basic pieces of equipment.
Jumping into the world of VR porn may feel daunting and expensive at first, but chances are you already own most of what you need. Here’s how to watch VR porn your way, whether you just want to start out on a budget or you’re ready to drop a couple of hundred dollars on the top porn sites.
If you’re looking for the basics of VR porn your existing smartphone is almost certainly up to the task. Every major VR porn site supports both Android and iOS even if Apple technically has banned adult content from their devices.
Keep in mind, buying the biggest phone can come back to haunt you when you try to use VR. Many of the VR headsets for smartphones don’t take into account the largest modern models. Make sure before you pull the trigger on your purchase that it actually fits your phone.
When we ask “where to watch VR porn” we don’t mean “what sites can you find VR porn on.” We mean where the hell will you actually watch it. Watching VR porn is a vulnerable experience in ways that watching normal porn isn’t.
For starters, you’re not blindfolded when you’re watching porn unless you’re into kinky stuff we’ve never heard of. Make sure you’ve figured out a private place to enjoy VR porn before you take the leap. Your experience will be dramatically improved by making a plan before you take off your pants.
Users who want the most top-shelf, high-quality experience will need to buy a PC rig that can run high-end VR options like the Oculus Rift. According to Oculus, your machine has to meet the following specs to fully take advantage of the system.
These are just recommended specs for an Oculus system, but if you want to experience the full spectrum of VR capabilities we suggest you have them. Here’s the thing though, unless you already own a powerful PC and have money to burn, there’s really no reason not to just use your smartphone.
VR headsets that use your smartphone are cheaper. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting bodily fluids on a piece of computer equipment your family will definitely want to use. Oculus VR porn might look incredible, but it’s not worth buying a system over.
For a long time, Google Cardboard had been our goto recommendation for a cheap entry level VR headset. The UYGHHK VR headset has usurped Google’s position by being only $29.99 and, more importantly, not made of cardboard.
This comfortable headset fits phones from 4.7 to 7 inches, meaning it’ll even work with the new iPhone or Android phones. This is the perfect headset for streaming VR porn off your phone. Heck it even comes with a Bluetooth remote for easy pausing. The only downside is you’ll need to remove your phone every time you want to change videos.
Watching VR porn on your smartphone might seem like a stretch, but today’s screens are ultra HD wonders. You can enjoy all your favorite VR porn content on Android or iPhone by using a compatible VR headset. Here’s how it works.
There are a few thinks to keep in mind while you’re shopping. Make sure you check to see if the size of the headset matches the size of your phone.
The PVR IRIS is a standalone VR headset , meaning you don’t need to plug it into any external devices in order to watch your wildest fantasies come to life. Using cutting edge technology and a WiFi connection, the device can access the cloud or individual VR porn apps for users to stream, download, and play content. It’s even Bluetooth enabled if you want to pair it with any of your sex toys.
The 5.5-inch screen display has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and plays back video in 6K. But what really sets it apart from other VR goggles is Fresnel optics , anti-distortion, and anti-dispersion systems that cooperate with an auto-adjustment feature to keep you from getting a headache (or dizzy).
It also means that when you turn around, look down, or change your perspective, the image stays crystal clear and in your line of view. The device also features built-in speakers, though we found ourselves using the headphone jack for obvious reasons.
All of this comes with a major caveat; while PVR IRIS was still receiving support updates, its firmware hasn’t been updated since 2019. That means this device could be at the end of its life span. Still, this is one of the best alternatives to an expensive system that requires you to also have an expensive computer.
If money is no object, but you still don’t want to buy a high end PC, the Oculus Quest 2 is for you. This all-in-one VR wonderland has built-in HD headphones, a stunning HD display, one of the most comfortable headsets on the market, and the entire Oculus software library on top of its incredible porn abilities.
You even get handy controllers to help navigate your favorite apps, no matter what they are. With beautiful high definition resolution and a lightning fast refresh rate, apps and games run as beautifully as they look.
The Oculus Quest come with special Touch controllers that allow you to track your hand movements to control the device. If you’re a hardcore gamer, the device also supports connecting an Xbox One controller.
While It may not have many applications in porn, it’s a nice bonus for when you’re enjoying more wholesome content. Furthermore, there’s no way you’ll just be using this device for porn.
Like mainstream porn, the world of VR porn is quickly getting crowded. We understand if you’ve been burned by a bad site. It’s reasonable to ask “is VR porn good?” The answer is, yes, provided you go to the right sites. Like any genre of porn, what matters most is who makes it.
If you’d like to read a deep dive into what sites are currently shaking up the VR porn landscape, we’ve collected the best VR porn sites and the best gay VR porn sites out there . Here are some of our top picks.
Even in the oversaturated VR porn market, VR Bangers stands out from the pack. With just over 400 scenes in its library, VR Bangers have made up for a lack of back catalog by releasing a steady stream of world-class Ultra HD VR scenes. You’ll find megastars like Aidra Fox, Riley Steele, and Maitland Ward next to the rising stars of tomorrow.
Currently shooting in 6K VR Bangers looks better than almost anything on the market. The only downside is the daily download limit. VR Bangers has stunning, creative, and high-quality scenes almost any porn fan will love.
Badoink VR is one of the only completely VR-focused brands in the adult space. That alone makes it the top porn choice on our VR specialty porn site list. Every week, they release one new, high-quality, 4K VR porn . 18vr , BabeVR , RealVR , and VRCosplayX all fall under the BadoinkVR brand umbrella.
BadoinkVR has clips from more well-known porn stars like Tori Black , but the biggest selling point is its well-designed site.The company is known as a tech company first, albeit one that specialized in the adult film space. BadoinkVR is simply a breeze to navigate.
Finally, the site’s user experience is easy to navigate and its videos clear. BaDoink delivers some of the most vivid scenes of any company online. Plus we love that they regularly add cosplay into the mix.
Looking for something way outside the mainstream? KinkVR is the virtual reality component of Kink.com , the legendary BDSM site that put all your darkest legal fantasies on the internet. H owever, if you want vanilla content (or are afraid of seeing anything but cisgender, heterosexual sex), this isn’t for you.
KinkVR features straight, gay , cis, trans, solo, BDSM , and role-play scenarios for every preference under the sun. However, the site occasionally feels like it lacks content . Given the lack of kink content available in the VR space, KinkVR is a valuable resource.
VR Sumo is the free face of a pay site called Real VR, but that doesn’t mean they’re lying about free content. Each month you can stream over 40 full length VR porn scenes in up to 4K quality. There’s no limit to how much you watch and no hard sales pitches.
It’s a remarkable resource for people dipping their toes into the world of VR porn without breaking the bank. You’ll also find thousands of partial VR porn scenes on the site. These are taken from studios like Reality Lovers, BaDoink, and Wankz. Don’t complain the clips aren’t full scenes. They’re free.
At one point VRB Gay was one of the world’s leading VR gay porn site, winning accolades and fans alike. Sadly, they stopped updating in 2019. The good news is VRB Gay still has a small, yet impressive, 4K back catalog of award-winning scenes for your erotic enjoyment.
VRB Gay offered a diverse and sexy array of hardcore gay porn, ranging from twinks to bears. Each scene has enough plot to build a mood, but quickly gets right to the dick filled action. While long term membership no longer makes sense, this is a great deal for amazing legacy content.
You’ll certainly mourn that they aren
