Welcome back to VRPornBro, the place where we like to talk everything VR porn! Questions I have heard asked a lot when it comes to watching VR porn are things like ‘is watching VR porn cheating on my girlfriend?’ or ‘I heard VR porn is realistic, am I being unfaithful by watching it?’ As someone with a lot of experience with VR porn, this is my opinion on the matter…
In short, there is not a one sized fits all answer for everyone. It depends on your specific personality and the way you interact with VR porn that counts towards whether it is cheating or not. Technically, you are physically not cheating on anyone as VR porn is not a real entity you can interact with. However, emotionally it is possible that you could be cheating on your partner. And emotions count in any relationship. Let’s go deeper into exactly what I am talking about.

How Do I Know if I am Cheating on my Partner with VR Porn?
How Am I interacting with VR Porn?
The way you emotionally connect with VR porn will give you a gauge to whether it amounts to cheating or not. How do you feel when you watch VR porn? What is your purpose behind watching VR porn?
If you are casually watching VR porn with the simple reason of getting that sexual high or as material to ‘jerk off’ to, this doesn’t amount to cheating in my mind. You have no emotional attachment to the pornstars in each scene, frankly they could be anyone that looks attractive to you. It’s the same as most peoples interaction with 2D porn, you simply access the material as a means to get a sexual climax of some degree, no more and no less.
However, if you are starting to feel emotionally involved with the pornstars in the scenes, then this should be a warning flag. Are you starting to search for videos of specific pornstars you like? This could be the first step, but not quite ‘cheating’ yet. But if you find yourself obsessing over these actors or actresses, you might what to re-assess your VR porn use. If you start following these pornstars on social media or cyber stalking them online to find out more about their personal lives, this should be a big red flag. Maybe time to cool it 🙂
Am I Choosing VR Porn over my Partner?
VR porn can be great in a loving relationship if used in the right way, simply as media to get aroused to in a casual and fun way. But if you find yourself watching VR porn over interacting with your own spouse, this should be a massive warning sign that you are using it to cheat on them. If you are having sex less with your own spouse due to VR porn you really should think about going back to 2D porn for a while in my opinion. And it doesn’t just boil down to sex! Even if you are simply choosing to spend time with VR Porn over your human partner, this should be a sign to re-consider what you are doing.
How Often am I Watching VR Porn?
You should keep tabs on how often you are watching VR porn. Casually watching VR porn once every day or so is perfectly fine, even when in a loving relationship with a real human being 🙂 However, if you are watching VR porn multiple times every day and start feeling yourself having a strong urge to watch, you should be careful. This is starting to get to the point where it could be considered cheating on your partner and unhealthy for your relationship overall. It could even lead to VR porn addiction which would probably destroy many relationships.
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend VR porn for anyone that has an addictive personality.
Reflect
Only you truly know what type of relationship you have with VR porn, so you should spend some time reflecting on this if you have a partner or spouse and are wondering whether your VR porn consumption is effecting these relationships. Personally, I know that my own VR porn watching is done in a casual and fun way, and it doesn’t impact my feelings or interactions with my partner. But I can not answer this for you, as each case is very different.
Why Can VR or 3D Porn be Considered Cheating when 2D Porn often isn’t?
To be honest, a lot of people in the world watch 2D porn and it is rarely seen as cheating. Some spouses might not like it but it is rarely referred to in this way. On the flip side, VR porn is often talked about in this way! I have even heard partners saying they are fine with 2D VR porn but don’t like or feel uncomfortable with VR porn and consider it as their partner cheating on them.
In my mind, the reason for this is that VR porn is far more realistic than traditional 2D porn. In 2D porn you are detached from the outside and simply an onlooker or voyeur to someone else’s sexual activity. However, in VR porn you are taking place of one of the participants (in most cases). And with VR technology always improving, the immersion and realism felt in VR porn is only going to improve. This is why some people feel it is cheating, as it is designed to make you feel like you are with a real person.
My Boyfriend of Girlfriend is Using VR Porn; How do I know if they are Cheating on Me with it?
This is impossible for me to answer. As you can see from this article, a person’s interaction with VR porn is very personal and hard to gather from the outside looking in. You should try asking your partner about how they feel whilst watching VR porn and if it is effecting the number of interactions you have with them. Try to gauge how addicted or reliant they are on their VR porn consumption, which will in turn help you evaluate whether they are cheating on you with it.
The problem is, VR porn habits are often hidden from or down played to loved ones, as the watcher often feels embarrassment or shame. It might be hard to get a true idea about their VR porn habits.
One test I would recommend if you find out that your partner is using VR porn. Ask them to give up access to their VR headset for one or two weeks and see if they agree and if they can cope with this well. If so, you probably don’t have anything to worry about. If not, they might have a problem that could be effecting your relationship.
