Although VR or virtual reality was not invented exclusively for porn, porn is the reason it has exploded in recent years. VR is not a new technology. The first VR machine was actually invented in 1957 with Morton Hellig’s creation, the Sensorama. The machine was big and bulky but it paved the way for how VR technology would develop over the years.
Now back to porn. With VR technology, we are no longer just passive watchers of intimate acts that unfold on our screens. VR has turned us into active participants – an advancement that holds a great number of opportunities for people who are interested in adult content. Surprisingly, with the number of years that VR has had before it, it is still considered an emerging technology. This would probably explain why some people are a little hesitant or unsure about what to do when presented with VR porn.
To take off the mask of mystery that VR porn may have to some potential users and lay bare its virtues, here is a complete guide for how to watch VR porn.
What It Is and What You Can Do With It
Put simply, VR porn is an immersive experience. It puts you inside the fantasy world presented in the video you are viewing. It requires the use of VR goggles and headphones/earphones so both your visual and aural senses are covered. The tactile experience comes via your own participation or with the help of a sex toy.
Essentially, VR porn is a POV (point-of-view) experience, wherein the events that unfold are seen from the point of view of the person wearing the VR goggles – you. What you see is the alternate reality that is presented in the VR video.
Getting the Right Gear
VR equipment has become much more affordable in recent years and you only need a minimum of gadgets to get started. Here are the tools you need:
-A smartphone
- Your smartphone is the most basic tool you will need to view VR adult content. That is, if you do not have a good PC. Major porn sites that host VR videos allow iOS and Android. If you have either one, make sure it is compatible with your VR goggles. Note that Apple is not very supportive of adult content, so you likely will have to download special apps so your phone will run VR videos. There may be problems with other major brands as well, so finding the right app is important.
-A PC
- A PC with the right specifications can potentially offer a better resolution than a smartphone. Look for higher specs in terms of processor, graphics card, and memory. Check the available ports for compatibility with your VR goggles as well.
A powerful PC can offer a better experience than a smartphone, so if you have one, consider VR goggles that are suited to your computer for a more visually stunning experience.
-Compatible headphones or earphones
- Most smartphones will fit the most popular headsets and earphones in the market but it pays to check if the jack is compatible with your gadget.
-VR goggles
- Basic VR goggles will require the use of your smartphone, so compatibility is a must for unimpeded viewing. Some VR goggles, however, are standalone devices and has navigation function that let you access the internet through WiFi.
- VR goggles come in a variety of features and prices. One of the cheapest, so far, is the basic Google Cardboard at $15 ($25 if you buy two) but it does need to be held to your face during viewing. It is also made of cardboard. A good alternative is VRG Pro which will set you back by a mere $5. It also works with 4.7″ to 7″ phones.
Another affordable option is the PVR IRIS at just $200. This is a standalone device, so you do not need other devices for it to work. It comes with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can connect it both to the internet and compatible sex toys. It also comes with built-in speakers and anti-distortion Fresnel optics to prevent those pesky dizzy spells and headaches that some people experience after spending some time in the virtual world.
For a higher-priced option, consider the Oculus Quest 2. This is a wireless device that is priced at around $300. It is a standalone, plug-and-play system, comes with hand controllers that allow you to access the internet and navigate to your heart’s content. You might also want to test similar gadgets in the market for comparison before purchase.
Without a high-spec PC, your next best bet is the Oculus Quest at around $400. Every feature you need is built into this headset, including headphones and HD display. It even comes with controllers that allow you to navigate apps. Videos are guaranteed to run smoothly, thanks to its high refresh rate and 1600 x 1440 resolution. If you want to go hands-free, it has Touch controllers that will track the movements of your hand and allow you to control the device.
What About Resolution?
- To make the most out of your VR porn experience, viewing the videos in high resolution is mandatory. The key is finding the sweet spot between what you are willing to splurge on and the quality of the gadget you are buying. Cheaper setups are not likely going to give you the best resolution and you definitely do not want glitches or lagging while you are viewing the latest fantasy on offer.
Getting Your VR Video Sources Right
- The biggest porn sites in the world are likely hosting a range of VR videos right now, so you are not really pressed for options. Note that full-length videos are often available only behind a paywall, although if you want to test the waters first, there are shorter clips that are available free of cost.
If you are worried about the quality, remember that VR is not yet as commonplace as other platforms. As such, the videos that adult production companies have on offer right now are being used to showcase the technology. This is why you likely will be able to view vids with high-quality production value. That means paying for VR vids will be worth it.
Being in the Right Place
- It is probably not an understatement when we say that watching VR porn leaves you vulnerable. After all, once you put on the goggles, you will be transported to a fantasy world that could completely change your perception of reality. You could be enjoying an immersive VR experience where you are walking down a hot, sunny beach when in truth, you are actually in an air-conditioned room lounging in your favorite chair.
When you do start watching adult content in VR, make sure your privacy is protected. Lock the room, draw the curtains, check your windows. The immersive experience that VR provides is best enjoyed with no real-world glitches.
