Welcome back to VR Porn Bro, and another (hopefully) informative article! We already did one talking about the 5 reasons VR Porn is better than regular porn, so it’s only fair that we look at it from the other side now! VR porn is not perfect! What are the 6 key issues that VR porn currently has. Can these issues be solved in the future? We hope to find out!
As I always say in these “Mass Debate” articles, this is just my own opinion. If you feel differently, I would love to hear all about it in the comments section below. This website is supposed to be a community, not a dictatorship telling you how things should be 🙂

1) VR Porn highlights bad acting!
Porn is general hasn’t exactly been known for its good acting. It is always a running joke with most people how bad the acting is in porn. We all know about the whole “my boiler has broken down…please fix it…..oh and now we have sex” scenario and the hilariously bad openings it can produce in porn!
The problem is that VR 3D porn highlights and magnifies bad acting even more. It is far more realistic than 2D porn, meaning that you really get to experience that bad acting with full immersion.
Personally, I haven’t found this too bad. Most VR porn studios try to tell their performers to simply try and act like they would around a regular boyfriend or girlfriend. This seems to work for most scenes in my opinion. It’s only noticeable when they try and do epic performances with story lines and costumes…..so if you are sensitive to bad acting try not to watch these scenes!
2) VR Porn shows the Human Body Realistically!
VR porn is the most realistic and immersive type of porn. This is great in most cases, but it can have its downsides for some. Like when you get close to a performer and see they have a skin rash, pimples or some other imperfections on their body. With VR porn, this is made very clear and obvious to those watching. Can you imagine how the performers might feel about this? Not only is their naked body out there in the digital world, but a fully realistic one with warts and all!
Personally, I have never had a problem with this. It actually makes the experience much more immersive and real to me, and I don’t mind it! If an incredibly hot girl wanted to have sex with you, and during the act you found out she has some pimples, would you kick her out of bed? I don’t think so! However, I have seen that others don’t always feel the same way as me!
3) VR Porn is still too Complex!
When you get your VR porn setup down, you will have the most amazing and immersive experience. Unfortunately, the process you have to go through to get there is too complex for some! This leads to people having sub par experiences and talking trash about VR porn. Little do they know, it’s all in the settings.
I will say first though, that this hasn’t always been the case. When VR porn was first released around 2015/2016 we often had technical problems. This would mostly lead to scale problems, making you feel like you have a 10 foot women in front of you.
However, now pretty much all VR porn is made to a good standard. This means that most problems are down to user error. People don’t realize that currently 180 degree videos work better than 360 degree videos, due to current limits in the technology available. Also, they don’t realize that they can use a VR player with extensive settings, which allows you to fine tune any VR video you are watching.
As an experienced VR porn user, I have my settings dialed in and it’s AMAZING! Let me tell you!
4) VR Porn is still too expensive!
VR Porn started off ridiculously expensive. You had to buy an expensive headset and an expensive computer just to run virtual reality.
The very first Oculus Rift developer kit was $350, and was then followed by Rift’s and HTC Vive’s that can easily cost over $500. Then you needed at least a $500 computer to run the headset from.
However, in recent years the cost of VR porn has come down dramatically. You can get VR cardboard headsets that allow you to watch VR porn on your smartphone (although this isn’t the best VR experience).
The recent releases of the Oculus Go and Quest VR headsets have been game changers for VR porn in terms of cost. These are standalone headsets that don’t need anything else to operate. For as little as $200 dollars you can have a VR headset that will deliver some of the best VR porn watching experiences you can have.
The problem is, $200 is still way more than it costs to watch 2D regular porn. All you need for that is a regular computer or smartphone, something most people already own these days.
The cost of the actual porn is more expensive too. Regular porn has been around so long and has so many different websites offering premium subscriptions, that you can often find prices around $10 a month. Although some VR porn sites offer these type of prices, most are around the $20-30 dollar a month range. And good free 2D porn is much easier to find than good free VR porn.
VR porn in good quality also has a much bigger file size than 2D porn. We are often talking several gigabytes per video. When streaming, you need high bandwidth to stream in good quality. This means you need pretty expensive internet to run VR porn well. The popularity of things such as Netflix is helping to bring the cost of this down though!
All in all, VR porn is still too expensive.
5) Addiction is a Real Possibility with VR Porn!
VR porn can be a real life changing experience for a lot of people. I know that for me, the first time I tried VR porn I was amazed by how realistic it was. It makes it harder to go back to 2D porn for many people that try it. But also, this amazing new porn experience can more easily lead to porn addiction.
Just go online and read about the number of people that got addicted to VR porn after trying it for the first time. Talking about preferring to watch VR porn than have sex with their real life partners. This is a real problem, and will only get worse as the technology involved increases and gets even more realistic.
For most people, when they are placed in a world where they can have realistic digital sexual interactions with the partner (or partners) of their dreams, addiction can follow.
As a responsible VR porn website owner, I plan on having access to addiction therapy through this website to help any VR porn users suffering with this problem.
6) Technology is still holding the VR Porn experience back!
I have been watching VR porn a while, although I didn’t start with the very first VR headsets. My first headset allowed me to watch VR porn at a resolution of 2,160 x 1,200 pixels. That was the maximum combined resolution of the screen. My current VR headset has a resolution of 2560 x 1440. We are gradually getting higher resolution headsets, but it is taking time and the technology to run these screens is holding it back.
I do notice a slight difference between these two headsets I have owned, but nothing crazy. The outer edges of any 180 degree video can still be blurry, and you can’t really look at fine details unless they are right in front of you.
This means the screen door effect (where you still realize you are looking at a bunch of pixels on a screen) is still an issue when watching VR porn. Personally, I can still find a lot of realism and enjoyment with VR porn at these resolutions, but if you want full clarity you will have to wait for higher resolution headsets to become commonplace.
Well, there you have it. Our 6 key problems with VR porn right now. Most of these issues will be fixed as the technology grows and matures, so in time we will be able to get a much better experience. Things like bad acting and seeing pimples is all down to personal taste and tolerance levels though! That part is up to you 🙂
