My Pimax crapped out so I had to get the Quest 2 up and running. Since I was using it I figured it was a good time to see what all the fuss was about.
It has some plus and minuses for me that I thought people don't seem to bring up. I'll start with the negative for me personally.
The big one being that I have the Handy hanging on a stand over the bed so the I can move it around without having to hold it. It is awesome for VR but in AR it really looks weird. This means the only real way for it to work is to turn the lights off. That makes it so it's only girls in a dark room but they are still brightly light. It still has a cool feeling of intimacy if everything lines up correctly.
The plus for me in AR is the story telling. I don't know if it is because of the director or because of it all having to be filmed with the idea of being in your bed. The plots are great for me. It's what I want in VR. They are believable scenarios of how I could have this girl in my bed.
I wrote down the last 30 SLR VR plots and the last 15 AR plots to compare.
AR - PLOTS
Girlfriend - 7,
Friends/First date/Roommate- 4
Stripper/Sugar baby - 4
VR -PLOTS
Girlfriend - 3
Friend - 1
Teacher/Work assistant - 6
Strangers in general, to many to list but things like (doctor, masseuse, tryout) -15
Neighbor - 3
Step family - 2
In 2D porn I didn't really care about the plot, I was just watching people have sex. VR is completely different. I want to be the person in the scene. For me it has to make sense that this girl is about the suck my dick. You have to trick my brain into thinking this girl really does like me. The easiest way is to know that she is my wife or an old friend, some reason that my pants are coming off in 5 minutes. I understand that some people don't care about it and just want to have sex with the student, it's just to hard for me to usually make me believe it.
My point being I think VR could learn a thing or two from AR in what can make a scene great. By just stop trying to bang strangers all the time. Almost all of the scenes that are not your GF, are the first time have sex with the person.
Intimacy like AR is so immersive because we have all been there. ZERO of the scenes are with your wife.
