It really surprises me how little guys bought a VR headset by now. I can tell you that every guy I've talked about VR with has always asked: so how is porn on it? The demand/curiosity is there that's for sure. I also think that buying a Quest and watching SLR is super easy even for a tech noob.
The barrier is probably more related to that most guys would need to buy the headset and buy it only for porn. They will then also need to pay for a sub to a porn site. Most guys I know just watch some free tube content and I'm pretty sure have never subbed to anything (not a money thing btw). I think it can also be kinda hard to "justify" buying a VR headset for some when you live together with you GF. I mean depending on the guy you are (if you game at all for instance) it is often very obvious you just bought it for porn and not for the crappy quest games. Also a lot of guys won't try out porn at a friends house so they have no way to try it out before making quite the investment. These are all major obstacles SLR has very little influence on.
Personally I think it's the issues above and not the content that is the issue with adoption. Just compare the experience to opening your phone and going to pornhub. It requires no investment, no effort, can be done anywhere, needs no special hardware, you won't have a specialized wank unit in your closet, it's quick, etc.
I don't think the type of content or the way you deliver this content is going to significantly influence the above. Sure it's always good to make things as easy and accessible as possible but at the end of the day the headset and the investment are the issue. I think that will change at some point as VR headsets with evolve and we will get mainstream adoption and in the meantime things will continue to steadily grow.
At this point I think making things more bitesize like a tubesite or ticktok will only serve to scare away the people that do consume VR content and are willing to pay for a good experience. Tubesites and ticktok are just very different types of media. The thing that is so cool about VR is that it can deliver sensations that where simply not possible on a small screen like a sense of presense, a feeling of intimacy, etc. I mean this site is called sex like real so that should say it all.
Anyways, I share similar ideas as most people in this tread about a story, good length, intimacy, creativity, that sort of thing. That's where the VR gold is. To deliver a different kind of sensation that 2D porn just can't. Personally I can't wait for VR to become more mainstream and to have all the crazy niches and variety of a tube site though. Then all these generes can get the VR magic as well as this kind of thing doesn't just apply to intimate GF porn but is similarly valid to something hardcore. It's just all about giving it that something extra that 2D porn that just can't.
Anyway, I strongly believe that good long, creative scenes are what will be the logical thing to focus on for the time being (at least for SLR Originals) and of course trying new things and innovate like SLR has always done, just not at the expense of the "VR gold".
