Why People are Turning to VR Porn During Lockdown

 

Since the Coronavirus lockdown started, there are a few things that have happened. Firstly, everything has gone digital – from dance lessons to cooking classes, you can pretty much do anything you can think of from home. The second trend we’re seeing is the massive spike in porn and especially with VR porn. It’s not surprising either. Since we’re all stuck indoors right now, virtual reality can be a very therapeutic experience – from helping us strengthen our long-distance relationships to even satisfying our need to feel like we’re outside.

 In moderation, VR porn could be a great tool for people who want to experiment and feel less lonely – as long as it doesn’t surpass the desire to interact with people in the real world once lockdown is over.

If you’ve never given VR porn a thought, here are a few reasons why now is a great time to try it out.

VR Porn Is The Closest Thing To Real Sex

“It’s the safest option right now as an outlet for sexual needs,” says Kayden Kross, adult film actress, writer, and director with Vixen Media Group. “There’s a lot of boredom, maybe even new curiosity after a lot of people have gone through their usual routines over and over again at home and are looking for novelty.”

 

Traditional porn is no doubt great fun, but it lacks the interactive and social aspect that can be obtained from virtual reality. While 2D movies are an enjoyable way to alleviate boredom, VR porn can give you the satisfaction you need on several levels. Since you are wearing VR goggles and have earbuds in, you’re completely immersed in this new world, without the distractions of your actual physical space.

But Does It Feel Real?

Well, have you ever seen people fall over when trying to lean on “table” they are seeing in virtual reality? Or bet you’ve at least been on a virtual reality roller coaster ride! You know you’re not actually 100m off the ground and that you’re not really moving, but you still feel like you are and you still get an adrenaline rush. It’s all because your brain can’t tell the difference between what you’re seeing on the screen in front of you and what’s actually happening in real life. It’s the same with VR porn, it will feel like you’re actually there, enjoying any sexual or intimate scenario of your choosing. There are, of course, some limitations as the tech is still relatively new, but with the help of some sex toys or just your hands, if you prefer, this is as close to real sex as it gets right now.

It Can Really Help If Your Partner Is Stuck In Quarantine In Another Country

2020 will probably go down in history books as the year of long-distance relationships. Some of you could have started out this way to begin with, but many couples have been forced apart for the duration of this pandemic, and that can come with a lot of difficulties and stress.

There are many things that you could do to make the long-distance relationship work, from frequent video chats to surprising your partner with gift deliveries. But how can you keep the sexual aspect of the relationship strong when you can’t even touch each other? VR porn may be the answer. You could both use it at the same time and even find movies with actors that look like your partner!

VR porn is not just about sex either, you could also go for the more intimate “boyfriend/girlfriend” experience if you just miss sweet caresses or someone softly whispering in your ear telling you how amazing you are.

Use Virtual Reality If You Miss The Outdoors

Do you miss the gym, going out to restaurants, enjoying the sun on the rooftop or going out into the woods for a nice long walk? You can do all of that and more in virtual reality. Sure it may not be the same as real life, but it can be very comforting to take yourself out of your home and out into another world.

You can escape reality even if it’s just for 25 minutes – this can be especially helpful for people who live in flats with no garden or for those of you who can’t go outside at all. What’s even better – you will have a hot date to accompany you on your trip outside too! Bet you never knew that porn could be so versatile!
