I would love it if you guys leaned more heavily into intimate scenes. For me, the more genuine and personal a scene feels, the better. When I consume non-VR porn, it is almost exclusively amateur porn; professional porn doesn't do anything for me because it feels so fake, formulated, impersonal, and over the top.
VR can offer an unmatched sense of intimacy by placing you in the scene. It's such a special feeling when the model gets close to the camera, but not enough is done to capitalize upon this. It has been improving, though, with the advent of positions like close missionary.
As a note, I know that close-ups have issues right now, like the cross-eyed thing, but it actually doesn't bother me all that much. I still get the feeling of being close, and I'd rather have that than pull the camera back and forfeit that feeling. Just thought I'd voice my opinion on that, I can't be the only one who feels that way. It will be nice if the 6DOF thing works out, though.
Here's a list of things I'd like to see more of:
- General affection -- in terms of attitude and touching, specific actions below.
- Model caressing (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
- Kissing - in general, and in positions where the camera is close to the model's face, e.g. close missionary (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Hugging, wrapping arms around camera (1, 2, 3)
- Touching camera's "face" (1, 2)
- Body to body contact (Check 01:02:22 onward in WankzVR's "Elena Koshka GFE", screenshots: 1, 2, 3, 4)
- Model whispering/talking/breathing close to the camera's "ears" (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
- Groping the model close-up (1)
- Eye contact
- Foreplay / teasing
- Genuine reactions -- real orgasms, orgasm contractions, body convulsions, real moans, facial expressions, etc.
- Real couples
- GFE
- Cum appreciation
- Intimate afterglow moments
In terms of positions:
- Close missionary
- Cowgirl with tits/face close to camera, sitting or laying (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
- Leaning over camera in cowgirl, especially if her hair drapes down (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
- Standing missionary (1, 2, 3)
- Pussy/ass eating, front & back -- especially if she gyrates her hips (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
- Handjob while laying next to you (VRedging does this exceptionally well: 1, 2, 3, 4)
I think you guys have done an excellent job in terms of lighting, which is important. Especially in scenes like "Baby it's Hot Inside!", "Worth the Wait", "As Seen on TV!" and "Sexual Alchemy: Divine Healing". The soft lighting is great, it helps a ton with immersion. Bright, full-white lighting is a sure-fire way to make something feel fake, so please continue to avoid that.
When it comes to audio, ASMR-style binaural is the way best to go, though I think you're already there with it, just need to utilize it more. As a quick aside, I personally love hearing how wet a pussy is, so if this can be incorporated at all then that'd be awesome.
Things to avoid in intimate scenes:
- The constant, over the top fake moaning and screaming that seems commonplace in professional porn
- Unconvincing fake orgasms
- Bright, harsh lighting

On a different note, since you mentioned niches, I'm going to list a few ideas and niche moments that left an impression on me:
- Occasionally, I enjoy non-POV stuff if the angles are right (keep the camera close, people!!), and this scene from perVRt has two moments from 6:30 and 15:50 where the camera is on the floor and close to her ass. You can see her pussy get wet while she's giving a blowjob and some grool drips out. I loved that. It's amazing that this was captured, and from such a perfect angle -- only wish it was in higher quality. Just incredible. Seeing her get fucked from this angle is nice too.
- Non-POV would be a cool niche to see, though it's difficult to pull off well. Keep the camera close! Maybe you could do a similar thing to perVRt, and offer a non-POV perspective of the same scenes in a separate video?
- I mentioned it above, but 01:02:22 onward in WankzVR's "Elena Koshka GFE" is an awesome intimate moment.
- More femdom stuff. "Your Mistress Awaits" is just an excellent scene, I would love more in this style, where the woman takes charge. Love Alex Coal, too.
- Spit play and drooling into the camera's "mouth" could be a cool niche to see. This JAV scene with Eimi Fukada has a bunch of it and I enjoyed that. It's intimate and feels novel in VR. Honestly, there's a lot that JAV VR porn just does right (though definitely not the censorship or the high-pitched squealing...)
- POV massage like in this scene, where you're groping Alex Coal's oily ass and pussy. Surprised there isn't more of this already.
- POV over the knee spanking and groping could be fun, though I appreciate that the angle might be awkward to get a good shot of the model's pussy.
- Multiple cumshots, cum and keep fucking
- Creampie gangbangs
Keep up the great work. As I said, I usually only watch amateur porn but VR porn is such a great experience that I can look past some of the parts of professional porn that I find jarring, and SLR Originals has made some of the best scenes by far, in my opinion. So, thanks, and here's hoping that you can keep up the innovations and improvements.
