Eastern European VR Porn Studios: Is it Fair for Performers?

Welcome back to VR Porn Bro, and thank you for reading another article. Today, we will be having a discussion (hopefully) about a subject I have been thinking about recently. That is the whole rise of Eastern European VR porn studios and their accompanying websites. Are they good for the industry? Is anything untoward happening here? Welcome to the discussion!!

First, I would like to say that I am making a lot of assumptions during this article. I am not in the industry, I don’t know the exact facts about what performers are being paid, etc. etc. I am just expressing opinions based on assumptions I have made. If you are in the industry, and want to put me right on anything, you can let me know in the comments section below.

Why Am I Talking about Eastern European VR Porn Studios?

There has been a real surge in VR porn studios that are either based in Eastern Europe or who use mostly Eastern European performers. Countries such as Czechoslovakia have been big in 2D porn and that is now moving across to VR porn. If you go look at my reviews, you will see many more websites that are using performers based in Eastern Europe. Countries such as Hungary and Romania are also common providers of these VR porn performers.

What am I worried about with this trend?

The thing I am worried about here is that many of these European based VR porn websites are the same price to subscribe to as some of those based in more expensive Western cultures (such as in America). Surely, to hire a performer in Eastern Europe is going to cost quite a lot less than hiring one from America. This is the assumption I make, am I wrong here?

When you start doing the math here, you start wondering what is happening to all that extra money? An Eastern European studio is getting the same (or very similar) subscription fees but are paying their performers less, so what happens to all that extra money that American based studios need to pay for their more expensive talent?

I would love to say that the Eastern Europeans are getting the same amount as those American performers and are living like kings in their respective countries. But is it the owners of these websites that are becoming richer instead?

Is it OK to pay a performer a fee that seems like a lot in their country, but is actually a lot less compared with some more developed countries? Their cost of living is surely much lower than their American counterparts, right? Maybe its OK then 🙂

The business person behind those Eastern European VR porn studios would argue that they had to take the risk to invest in a porn studio that might have failed, so they deserve to take home the extra rewards for taking this risk. Big American (and other developed countries) industries often have factories in developing countries to save money too. Isn’t this the same?

What do you think?

As you can see, this is a point I have been debating with myself! It is a complex issue and I really don’t have the answer to it. I like doing discussion pieces and would love to get input from the community. What do you think? Tell us in the comments section below.

And if you are someone in the industry that can tell us some facts here, that would be great. Because my ideas in this article are based on a lot of assumptions that may or may not be correct!

Let the debate rage on!!

  1. There is no such country as Czechoslovakia for over 30 years… There is Czech Republic (Czechia), where a lot of porn is produced, and there is Slovak Republic (Slovakia) where production virtually doesn’t exist.
    Regarding the story from your article, it’s more complex than is written in your article, European producers (working for American companies) are also getting less money. European content is also generally making less money because of several reasons as language so it’s less attractive to US consumers, especially VR and we are not backed up with huge companies so our content is lacking distribution capabilities as American. I’m saying this from first hand as I’m producer working for several American and European companies and also have own production so I have view on all of this from point of view of performer and small independent production and also as person who works with smaller, big and huge companies.
    Cheers

    • The average wage in Bulgaria is $1000 a month VS $6000 in America, so clearly these performers are getting well below their counterparts in America.
