I tried it out. For business purposes.
One thing I've always thought to myself, on the, um, rare occasions that I've gone online to view pornography, is: I wish there were a way for this to feel somehow even more awkward and removed from the actual experience of human sexuality than it already does .
Good news, then, because the latest example of the symbiotic, longstanding relationship between pornography and technology makes just that effect possible with the recently launched partnership between the virtual reality film studio BadoinkVR and contemporary king of the porn mountain, Pornhub.
Starting this week, Pornhub's VR channel (NSFW) is releasing videos specifically for viewing with an Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, or similar VR headset.
"At Pornhub it is our duty to provide our global audience with the latest in cutting edge technology," Corey Price, Vice President of Pornhub said in a statement. "Now, our users are not only able to view our content, but be protagonists in the experience and interact with their favorite porn stars and users' wildest fantasies will come alive as they slip into a world of heightened titillation."
That sounds great in theory, but so far the long-promised lotion-fisted utopia of VR sex-on-demand isn't quite here.
The conceit of pornography has long been one of fantasy wish fulfillment. Of course, the most significant innovation has come via the point-of-view style, making it easier for viewers to imagine themselves as the priapic hero. But after playing around with some of the videos for a while, for research purposes mind you, it's had the exact opposite effect on me. Certainly there are interesting options, like being able to zoom in or out, or rotate your view for a wider, all-encompassing angle of the sets for such captivating narratives as Three-Course Meal , One Stroke At A Time , and Cumming Full Circle . But if anything, the experience, at least so far, somehow makes it harder to suspend disbelief. In the immortal words of one Jackie Treehorn, people forget that the brain is the biggest erogenous zone. True enough, but it's hard to let your brain do the heavy lifting of arousal when you're wearing the equivalent of a football helmet with the logo of the Bedroom Wankers plastered across the side.
Instead of being able to lose myself in the action, I found myself thinking about literally anything else besides sex (the ceilings, chiefly). Oh wow, I can look at the ceiling in this porno , I kept thinking. You never really get a close look at the ceilings in porn. I wonder how much square footage this room is? And what's it like to clean up after a shoot like that? It's like the running monologue you might expect to have laying on your back in the middle of an IRL rather boring sexual encounter.
Needless to say, that line of thinking doesn't exactly lend itself to stimulation—although it could help in delaying the inevitable outcome of such pursuits, like the old adage about thinking about baseball, if, for some reason, you're one of those people who doesn't want to finish up too quick even when you're alone. There has to be a sub-Reddit dedicated to that, I'm guessing.
Speaking on a panel at SXSW this month, Fabien Grey of AliceX, another site offering VR pornography, explained how it's supposed to work, and some of the potential drawbacks.
"A feeling of total immersion will hit the market, you can have this experience of being there will the model," she said . "It's scary because people can get lost in these worlds. As the screens get closer and closer to our eyes, people can dive into these worlds for hours."
I have little doubt that we will eventually get to the point where we're a world of VR-porn-obsessed zombies, nodding off, and jacking off, in a trance-like state, oblivious to the rest of the world that point is not today. That's not to say it's not coming soon. Nor, for that matter, am I after trying this thing.

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.”

If you think you’ve already tried every type of porn the internet has to offer, it may be time to take a step into the future of the medium: VR porn.
VR, or virtual reality, porn is a truly immersive experience. You’re not limited by what the director decides you should see — instead, you can fully explore everything going on in the scene.
However, watching VR porn isn’t as simple as going to your website of choice and pressing “play” on the first video that turns you on. You’ll need to buy some special gear, and you’ll need to find some special sites.
In the guide below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to watch VR porn.
If you’ve decided to take the plunge and check out the most immersive porn experience possible, you’ll need to make sure you have the proper gear. That means finding the proper device, the proper website, and of course, the proper porn.
There are two basic types of devices that can play VR porn: smartphones and standalone machines.
To watch it on your smartphone, you’ll need a device that blocks out the outside world. The three most popular such devices are Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR, and Google Daydream.
These are all very inexpensive VR headsets, mostly made out of cardboard. You set your smartphone inside of them and wear it over your head like a helmet.
Standalone VR headsets (like the Oculus Rift, Oculus GO, HTC Vive, or PSVR) work the same way — they’re just better and more expensive. These are much more comfortable and immersive, but they’re probably best for people who’ve gotten their feet wet with one of the cardboard options above.
If you decide to use your phone, you’ll also need to get an app that lets you view VR material. Different apps work better for different phones, but we’ll cover that in more detail in a minute.
Most mainstream porn websites aren’t equipped for virtual reality porn movies, even if they may offer “VR porn” options. It’s best to use a site dedicated to the stuff.
We’ll get to the best vr porn sites later, but one of the best we’ve found is VRBangers . It has possibly the biggest selection of videos on the internet, and it’s easy to use.
If you go to a site like VRBangers, you’ll have to pay for a membership. They have three basic membership options: yearly, monthly, and lifetime.
You may have to give up free porn if you want to watch the virtual reality version, but it’s well worth it. It’s hard to go back to the 2-D stuff once you’ve gone full VR.
There are two ways to view VR porn, regardless of which site you use to get it. You can either stream it or download it.
Downloading definitely offers the better experience. The quality is better, there’s never any lag, and you can watch it even if you don’t have an internet connection.
However, downloading it can take forever (and a ton of bandwidth), it will occupy an enormous amount of space on your device, and you’ll have to wait for the downloads to complete before you can, ahem, enjoy it.
Streaming offers none of those downsides. However, you’ll need a super-fast internet connection, and even then the quality likely won’t be as good. If you’re going through all the trouble of buying a device and a porn subscription, it seems odd to skimp on quality.
Most sites allow you to both download and stream, and some even offer discounts for streaming-only accounts. Of course, if you’re going to be viewing cam girls or other interactive content, you’ll have to stream it.
For all its other selling points, the iPhone is probably the most difficult smartphone on which to view VR porn. Apple doesn’t like to be associated with adult content, so they restrict it to the best of their abilities.
Fortunately, if the internet has taught us anything, it’s that you can’t really stop people from getting their porn. You’ll have to work a little harder to find a suitable app, but it can be done.
The best free option is probably an app called LittlStar. If you’re willing to spend a little money, then there’s an app called MobileVR Station that offers a few more features than LittlStar — for a price, of course.
Once you have a suitable app (and a suitable headset), all you have to do is open the app and navigate to whichever folder you’ve downloaded your movies to.
There are quite a few more apps to choose f
