The porn industry has changed dramatically over the last couple of years, and most if not all of the changes are centered towards improving the viewer’s experience. Over the last couple of years, one of the biggest catalysts for change in the industry is a big technology called VR.
VR or virtual reality refers to a technology of computer-generated simulation through which the person can interact with the video or images via special goggles or gloves with sensors. VR has been around in many industries, but it has often been used for gaming, which helps provide a more immersive experience.
Surprisingly, VR’s applications continue to grow over the years. We’ve even seen the emergence of other VR-related fields like augmented reality. This is because people see the merit in how technology can make digital experiences more immersive.
For porn, VR helps provide an intimate online experience that’s more advanced than any other. There are actually many ways through which VR enhances porn, but as a whole, it has helped change the industry in ways that we can’t imagine.

For the most part, VR goggles are used in porn to give watchers the view of one of the people in the video. Simply put, you can be put in the shoes of one of the porn actors – at least from a perspective, that is.
However, with the use of advanced gloves and even fleshlights, you can make the experience even more immersive. According to the people behind www.vrsmash.com, today’s top porn providers now have VR categories for those who have VR goggles. There are even special websites that focus and post only VR porn.
It actually became an industry of its own. More and more people are diving into the hype of this new immersive experience.
Porn companies are taking advantage of the boom in VR porn. A common trend nowadays is creating VR porn videos that actively seek to make the viewer a part of the video. Companies even spice up videos even further by hiring favorite actresses and actors to play key roles in the video.
In these immersive videos, the actors talk to you as if you are actually a part of the porn video. For some people, this conversational style of porn partnered with good VR goggles result in a euphoric experience that’s unlike any other. Some would go as far as saying that it’s the next best experience to sex.
When it comes to porn and sex, people are always looking to enhance the experience by adding levels of personalization to it. People also want more intimacy when it comes to porn. These are two things that VR goggles provide. As technology is still young, there’s no telling where it will take us in the future.
For now, though, VR headsets are already doing people a lot of favors despite being in the early stages.
The truth is that porn has had a hand in helping VR grow in popularity as much as it is the other way around. When VR technology began to flourish at the turn of the previous decade, people didn’t really have video games in mind, they initially thought about how it can enhance porn viewing.
It’s not just in America, VR porn is very popular across the world, and especially in countries like Japan where the technology is already at more engaging levels than in the rest of the world. What’s even better is that the merging of these two industries is still fairly young. There’s no telling what the future holds for both porn and VR and their brainchild.
The Future Of Porn

While we can’t tell where the industry is headed, it’s easy to see some trends that are most likely going to be at the forefront of the porn industry in the next couple of years.
First, there’s the use of advanced fleshlight and sex toys along with VR. Some sex toy manufacturers have actually created sex toys that move and interact with the video you are watching. Now imagine how great that would be to partner that experience with a VR headset.
Of course, toys like these are going to be expensive. However, if it’s for your own pleasure, then it’s definitely worth getting.
Another trend for the industry is actually very unique and surprising. VR can be used by long-distance couples that want to be as close to each other as possible. VR headsets, along with advanced sex toys, can make intimate moments actually possible even when both couples are far apart.
There are already a ton of tools that couples can use together even when they’re apart. It used to be that phone sex and video chatting were the only means to be intimate for long-distance couples. However, these sex toys prove that distance really isn’t a major problem anymore.
With the help of VR, the experience will be a lot better. For now, technologies and products related to this are pretty minimal. However, people are hopeful that in the foreseeable future, VR will play a major role in the intimacy of long-distance couples.

Lastly, porn creators are also benefiting from these too. They have the means to engage with their fans directly through VR. This opens up a ton of opportunities for revenue and growth on their end. Of course, it helps them build a more solid fan base through VR interaction as well.
The rise of platforms like OnlyFans makes it possible for actors and actresses in the adult entertainment industry to find a means to directly engage with their fans. A good way to utilize VR is to create videos suited for VR, exclusively for followers.
VR and porn are surprisingly two great combinations that go well together. Things are already advanced now, and there’s no telling what the future will be. What we do know is that porn companies are going for more intimate and engaging ways to reach out to their consumers, and that’s very exciting.
