So I've owned an Oculus GO for a couple of weeks now, and I finally got around to try VR Porn for the first time
It was a pretty strange experience.
The image was super clear, the 3d effect worked perfectly. The only technical issue was some of the women felt like they were much taller or shorter than IRL, but it's all adjustable.
It's pretty neat to be able to turn around and so on, So I expected this to be the ultimate pov experience, pretty much but.. like I said, I wasn't expecting such a mindfuck. It's really hard to put in words, to be honest. The fact that 'you' are there is neat with the 3d effects and everything, but since there is no physical feedbacks like in real life, it breaks the immersion.
One vid had one girl take off her clothes and dance with her butt to "your" face, it just feels like shes slamming herself into you. I actually said out loud "jesus, back off" as she almost clipped into "me". The other vids all had typical bj/sex stuff.
You just feel like a torso with a head, strapped to a chair. Like a camera in a fps cheat mode with noclip on.
It feels like somewhere in your brain, something is triggered that screams like "THIS IS FAKE, YOU CANT ENJOY THIS. THIS IS NOT REAL. FAKE WARNING YO!" unlike regular 2d porn.
The whole feeling of disconnection is pretty intense. I wonder if it's because that I never "felt" like 'I' was in control. Perhaps it was the lack of interactivity? Your brain feels like it's "there" in the video, but since you cant control anything, your brain sense that something is "wrong" or "unnatural" so it "breaks" the immersion. You keep thinking "well this isn't real." during the entire thing. You can't just relax and enjoy whatever you're watching. I need to try it with quality headphones that block outside sounds..
The content was super high quality too, so it was strange to be able to see all the detail on the skin, the feelings of shapes and curves was perfect. Dat 3d effect is fucking spot on yo, but It's like your brain gets angry while experiencing this.. "HOT GIRL. Wait, you can't touch? Wait, no feedback? WTF IS THIS??!". Maybe that's why I got so weirded out about the experience.
That feeling of disconnection was a huge turn off.
I mean, 2d porn works, but this vr porn feels like it's ALMOST there. But that missing 20% is enough to feel super weird.
Also external stimulis are a big problems. Hearing your washing machine go in real life, while you're in a car in the video. Same thing with any kind of external audio. It takes you out of the simulation right away.
It's pretty interesting to see how you react to something like vr sex. I'm sure theres gonna be papers written on that subject.
This is one of the strange thread I have ever made.
