Hairsational Yeah, but the main guy they use doesn't, unfortunately.
I get the appeal when it's something like VREdging, but for Badoink to do this is a bit confusing to me. Is it to work better with scripts or to avoid the male performer going off-center? It just feels and looks so dissonant, having a model porn-acting on top, saying how she's never been fucked so good while the male performer is completely still the whole time.
I don't want non-stop thrusting either because that can also make a scene boring. It's funny that OP mentioned older WankzVR scenes, because I've been skimming some new ones and it's like a fucking metronome. I can't tell if I'm watching the same 30 seconds on a loop.
So to answer the question: it directly affects my enjoyment of the scene and I wish that studios would pay more attention to this.
