VR Porn is perceived as sexual simulation

pkloverx thanks for pointing out this studio and their non-POV content.
I've not seen it appear in the "New" content area, and I check this daily for all new posts

I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy I noticed and the misuse of words to promote their 'Cuckolding fetish' or 'Voyeur fetish' under the guise of 'Non-POV.' Then @pkloverx tried to define 'Mixed POV' as POV + Non-POV, which is clearly wrong.

Mixed POV simply means two different POVs, it could be Female POV + Male POV, Cuck POV + Male POV, Director POV, Cameraman POV, etc. Cuckolding has existed for a long time in flat porn by adding a third party person who stays passive, and what the OP referred to as 'Non-POV' is still POV, just shifted from the male who’s involved in sex to the male who’s watching. So many flat scenes like this GIF are out there, and John Strong simply shot the POV of the dude watching.

Also, let’s not forget the hypocrisy of @petermc, who constantly promotes his 'Anal fetish' under the banner of 'hardcore,' claiming that any scene without anal isn't 'hardcore enough.' That’s completely wrong. A scene can be purely vaginal and still very hardcore without needing anal, slapping, spitting, or whatever other fetishes you consider 'more hardcore'.

So both of you, stop misusing terms to mislead people. Man up, be straightforward and say what you want without any cover-up. Nobody is fetish-shaming anyone in a porn forum.

kurtis316 I have never once, in all of my years on this earth, stated that a scene cannot be hardcore if it does not contain anal sex so get your facts straight before putting words in my mouth. Strictly speaking any scene featuring explicit penetrative sex is hardcore pornography.

I often talk about vanilla/GFE vs harder scenes. Harder does not mean anal. It can mean any number of things. A blowjob only scene can go pretty hard. There are some very extreme performers out there that don’t perform in anal scenes.

Most people would class porn sites like Brazzers as vanilla and they regularly have anal sex scenes.

My issue that SLR shoot the same stuff every time (except for that crazy Rebel Rhyder scene that came out of nowhere). It doesn’t matter if they cast an extreme performer or an anal performer or a girl known for crazy deepthroat blowjobs, they just shoot the same vanilla scene every time and it’s gotten worse over time.

VR Cucking - best of both world

Some POV elements, some voyuer elements.

Why would I care how VR porn is perceived? Sex, whether virtual or simulated or real is personal and stays in my own home/room. I don't care how society at large views VR porn nor is it their business. The vid of some weirdo dudes thrusting in public with VR headsets on looks ridiculous and funny and holds no bearing and should hold no bearing on the subject of what sort of content a VR porn website should host or create. You could have just put a suggestion in the forums for "Hey guys I prefer non POV VR content" instead of setting up such a bad argument.

If lots of people wanted non-POV porn, the market would react to that. Views and likes are an easy metric and they suggest non-POV is a small niche. Sort the videos on SLR by all time popularity and look at where the non-POV scenes land. I have nothing against it, but to suggest that there's this huge silent crowd of people who align with your personal tastes is a stretch. There are many niches. I hate doggy, some demand it, some hate big / small boobs or tattoos or silicone etc and I think there's a temptation to think everyone else is crazy when their tastes don't align with your own. I'm certainly guilty of that.

Hopefully VR keeps growing and more diversity of genres, models and ideas can develop but I do believe the future is headed towards virtual sex in whatever form that takes - not just virtual voyeurism. Yet that will no doubt be a significant genre.

pkloverx You can't draw conclusions about VR porn based on the metrics for all porn in general, which is mostly free and 2d because of price, convenience and accessibility. People aren't watching pornhub on their phone because they're turned off by the prevalence of POV porn in VR. VR porn is a tiny market because VR is still a tiny market, and even accessing VR porn once you have a headset is a technical challenge, requires payment (for anything watchable) and that entails not just money but privacy / security issues. I mean, I had to have a fucking conversation with my bank to get my SLR payment accepted, and another porn payment caused my paypal account to be closed down. Not to mention the massive amounts of spam I've been subjected to, due to lax security protocols. My Czech VR email address was compromised, then one time Virtual Taboo accidentally published the email addresses of everyone in their comments section who hadn't picked a user name. Only a dedicated wanker would go through that shit!

And even once you've figured out where to go for VR porn and you've paid money, you then have to master the interface and how to correct scenes which usually have production flaws that need fixing. The barriers to entry for the consumer, vs free 2d porn are just too high for mainstream uptake. That's why VR porn is niche, not because of the camera point of view.

Honestly at this point i wouldn't mind if SLR shot 1 purely non pov scene just so we can all laugh at it being the least liked scene in the past 2 years. Just don't use an actress that doesn't already have 10 scenes on here because it would be a waste.

HughMungus that would only prove though that VR is the circle jerk that he’s saying it is. That, by making only one thing, they’ve cultivated a small user base that only want one thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no interest in non-pov VR scenes either but his wider point stands. Porn fans in 2d like a wide range of content from very intimate GFE couples porn right up to super extreme kinks and fetishes. By limiting VR to almost exclusively vanilla GFE scenes, you are generally only going to attract that small subset of porn fans who like that content. Then the circle jerk begins where you only attract people who like this type of porn and you continue to only make that type of porn to keep them happy and the industry stagnates.

Now, I’m not saying we should be going to the other extreme either and having really extreme fetish porn. There’s a huge middle ground though like Interracial porn, gangbangs, anal, DP, BDSM/rough sex which have huge fan bases. Even just gonzo scenes where there’s no story, just porn performers having sweaty porn sex on camera. If you don’t cater to ordinary porn fans, you’ll never get them over to VR. You’d have to commit to it over a period of time too, it’s no good making one scene and then saying “it didn’t perform as well as we hoped”. It probably won’t be an instant hit as the people who like those scenes aren’t currently here in large numbers because you don’t cater to them. They’re not going to flock here and buy headsets for one scene. If they see that these scenes are being made regularly though and their favourite stars are on X promoting those scenes, they will eventually come across.

I’m not sure how we will get there though as it would need someone to take that risk and make scenes that are initially unpopular and might not sell that well. You’d probably need a Brazzers or Vixen to really commit to a VR studio and bring their subscribers over rather than just dipping their toes in. Adult time have committed but frustratingly are just making the same stuff as what is already here rather than mixing up their content like they would in 2d porn.

petermc Do you think people watching porn only like one kind of kink style and that is it? If VR doesn't have their one kind of kink they are out?
Porn is the best study of supply and demand there is. If people want it then somebody is going to jump on it.
If you only like NON-POV then there is 50 pages of it. That isn't enough to keep someone here?
I think you either put on a VR headset and are blown away by it or I guess you aren't.
For some reason people seem to believe there are lots of people trying it and just not liking it. Why do people think this?
I think way more likely is that
1: Tons of the headsets are sold to minors
2: People aren't used to paying for porn so they either don't bring themselves to do it for lots of reasons, or they pirate it.
3: They might have roommates or a wife so it is harder to hide it. Way easier to take your phone to the bathroom for 10 minutes.
If you want more people to watch VR porn then everybody's time would be better spent on fixing these barriers

None have anything to do with just refusing because they don't make their specific kink.

pkloverx What's next? All caps?

pkloverx I remember you copying these same comments somewhere else on here. Are these the 4 comments you have found over your years of research on this crusade?

pkloverx every.single.one.of.them is as generic as can be, with the samey-looking bimbos
doing their terrible, terrible "ACTING" and the fake moaning

This is a porn problem. It is worse because POV feels more real so it becomes more noticeable. But I guess this realness really brings this ONE person down. How is 2d less fake?

pkloverx intimate GFE since it's the majority of content produced now

NO, but I wish. Most VR porn plots are not GFE.

Again just say you like watching people having sex and you would like studios to make more of it.

Really don't understand people getting upset over content existing or watching and commenting genres they aren't into. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Not everything has to be for you.
