Is This What The Gay Porn Of The Future Will Look Like?

The annual South by Southwest (SXSW) showcase of film, interactive media, and music festivals is underway. Everyone wants to know the same thing. Is ‘virtual reality porn’ ready to make your dick dance?

At this years’ SXSW festival, the second longest line was for attendees wanting to hear the ‘VR Porn: Future is Upon Us, What’s Next?’ panel discussion.

The longest line, a “giggling queue of delegates,” was to experience Naughty America’s next generation of VR porn featuring starlets Rachel Starr, Nikki Benz, and Kimber Lee.

Since gay VR offerings are still few, out tech guru, Oscar Raymundo took Naughty America’s latest on a test drive for us.

Oscar found that, “right now VR porn does not yet come close to simulating real sex, and it’s not vastly superior to simply watching porn on your computer.” “Now” being the operative word. How long until we’re all having a gay ‘ole time virtually is unclear. But folks on our side of the aisle are working on it.

Kink.com has two VR offerings while VirtualRealGay is making a big push. If you have a smartphone, the designated glasses or goggles, and the tenacity to make them all work in sync with the required phone apps, you are ready to go. But even then, does VR porn really deliver what we need?

“People are requesting less sexual positions and more eye contact and dirty talk and being close to the camera,” said Dinorah Hernandez, the content manager for BaDoinkVR. “If the artifice is apparent then you feel like you’re with a hottie, and they want nothing to do with you. People experience that enough in their real life.”

While consumers are demanding more realism from VR technology, once that is achieved, it’s what they want next that was a bit of s surprise. They “value a greater sense of intimacy more than sex: ‘It has to do with an emotional bond’”

A tangible emotional bond stemming from virtual reality sounds like a tall order. But if anyone can figure out how to make that happen, it will happen first in porn.
