Virtual reality porn for couples

Virtual reality porn for couples

Virtual reality porn can help couples spice up their sex life. And if you’re raising an eyebrow, it’s normal. So did we, at first!

 

‘Baby, I am going to try out some virtual reality porn. Up for it?’

‘Sure, love!’

Aliki jumped on the idea. I love this about my partner. She is always excited to try out new stuff

Her enthusiasm was accompanied by a flurry of questions. How does it work? Would I feel anything? Will I see you in there too? Can both of us participate at the same time? 

I could not resist my urge to mansplain, but Aliki cut me short. 

‘On second thoughts, babe, there’s nothing better than trying things out to see how they work. Now let’s do it!’

I fiddled with wires, put on my VR mask, plugged the USB into our Playstation, and moments later I was looking at a hot woman sucking on ‘my’ cock. 

I couldn’t feel anything, of course, but the image was so surprisingly realistic I got a stiffy nonetheless. This, in turn, piqued Aliki’s interest who couldn’t keep her hands away and joined in the fun after a while.

But before I get carried away, first things first: why would you try virtual reality porn to start with?

 

Why is Virtual Reality porn relevant now?

VR porn has been around for some time. VR porn services like BaDoink started back in 2015 and have been growing in popularity since. Yet it has never been as relevant as now. 

The COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing measures that it brought about have isolated a lot of people and made our lives more challenging on many levels. As expected, our sex life hasn’t been spared. 

This is actually an understatement.

Just to give you an idea of how much our sex lives have been affected by quarantine, New York authorities on their ‘Sex and COVID-19 Fact Sheet‘ recommended sticking to masturbation as the only acceptable sexual activity for people who are not already paired up.

In the Netherlands -ever so avant guard– the government advised Dutch singles to find a stable sex buddy as they slowly emerge from the lockdown.

So far, only the Danes have taken a more liberal approach, accepting that whatever the situation people just need to have sex. But, regardless, it will likely take a long time before sex life gets back to what it was before, wherever you live.

If we want to keep having a healthy sex life, we need to adapt and to be inventive. Virtual reality porn could be one way of doing so.

Why is Virtual Reality porn relevant now?

 

Virtual Reality porn to the rescue

During the lockdown, life has become infinitely more complicated for sexually adventurous couples. And if you’re into the Lifestyle, you’re in for an even more significant change. 

Several swingers clubs have announced that they will remain closed over summer. I don’t blame them. Even searches for ‘swingers clubs’ have dried up on Google as sexy needs are satisfied differently. 

Meanwhile, social distancing means that interacting with other couples elsewhere is likely to be off the menu for a while.

Staying cooped up together for a few months can be a recipe for disaster. Just ask all these new Chinese divorcees about it! It’s why we have written about the importance of keeping your sexual desire alive under lockdown.

To do so, you need imagination and a touch of playfulness. And yes, you might want to try things you have never considered trying before. This is where VR porn comes in handy (excuse the pun!).

 

How is virtual reality porn interesting for couples?

Virtual reality porn offers a possibility for couples to try out a new experience and break the routine in their sex life. See it as a new exciting form of extended foreplay! It’s at the end of the day what Aliki and I usually seek when we visit a club.

Now, I have to admit that when we set out to look into VR Porn, I was a tad sceptical. While we have never shied away from porn to enhance our sexual play, we had never tried Virtual Reality porn before writing this post.

You see, despite having played games on my VR headset -or possibly because of it- I couldn’t quite imagine what it would be like to stare at a vagina in 3D. I know I can get engrossed in a VR shooting game, but could VR porn make me shoot up?

The main question in my head was: what can VR porn do for a couple? Can you really use it to play with your partner? Isn’t it more of a ‘singles’ thing?

Well, having tried it out, we can confirm that it didn’t leave us untouched.

Virtual reality porn for couples

Here are some ways in which Virtual reality porn could help couples spice up their sex life:

 

You can have a virtual threesome.

One of the advantages of VR porn is that it effectively allows you to mimic interplay with a third person -and, why not, even more! 

While I had my headset on, Aliki could follow what I was seeing on TV. She could also notice the effect that the naked woman was having on me. Not that it was hard to spot. Or, rather, it was!

This doesn’t mean that VR porn fully replaces the atmosphere of a real Lifestyle experience. Technology has advanced a lot, but not to the degree that it beats watching your lover play with another man or woman in real life. 

That said, it does come a close second. The setup is like this: you choose who of the two partners is going to wearing the headset. The one who is watching the porn in 3D is effectively interacting with a virtual sex partner, while the other person watches on the TV screen.

It goes without saying that you are not limited to watching either. You are free -and welcome- to provide physical stimuli to your partner, notching up their pleasure.

It didn’t take long for Aliki to get inspired, go down on her knees and add a few ideas of her own! 

 

You experience a new type of excitement

This may sound tautological, but let me explain myself. We didn’t spend hours on the VR platform, but we did spend hours having hot sex afterwards!

Like everything else in our sexual adventures, VR porn is a prop -I also consider other people as props by the way- and props are there to inspire and excite us. We then use that sexual energy to rev up sex between the two of us.

Our virtual reality porn experience fitted perfectly in this kind of play. It reignited some of the excitement we feel in clubs or when we meet other couples for a 2 on 2. 

While having sex, Aliki and I often use images from our sexual adventures to add some kick. At other times we talk about our fantasies and what we would like to see the other doing in a particular scenario.

In this sense, virtual reality porn was an added -and very original- experience.

‘The girl was talking a lot to you, Xander. And quite dirty too!’ my girlfriend purred.

‘She sure was, Aliki!’

‘Do you like dirty talking while having sex, baby?’

‘You know what? I think I do…’

Aliki took the cue.

 

You do it together, but not only.

If I gave you the impression that I was the only one trying virtual reality porn, then I absolutely have to put things straight. 

Only a few moments after I wore my VR headset, Aliki’s voice turned husky. I know my lover well and I recognised that she was getting excited.

‘Can I try it out too, Xander?’

‘Do you find it sexy?’

‘It looks like it!’ she laughed, nervously.

She giggled a bit when I handed it over. 

‘Look at the size of that pussy!’ Aliki instinctively pulled her head back, so deep was the immersion. 

As the scene changed, she oohed and aahed at how real it felt, turning her head to different directions to check out the whole setting.

‘It almost makes you dizzy! But I think I like it.’

The video I had downloaded this first time was with a woman, but I made a mental note to find her one with a man next time around.

An hour or so later, as we lay exhausted in bed in post-coital bliss, Aliki returned to the subject.

‘You know what, baby? I think I would even find it sexy if I knew you were using the VR Porn without me and that you were jerking off on a virtual girl’.

Now the truth is that masturbating with a VR headset on ain’t exactly practical. I mean, I know where my body parts are, but it does feel a bit weird. 

But that is why Virtual Reality porn for couples makes sense. Your partner has a substantial role to play! 

 

The technical side of VR porn

For many, the step to try virtual reality porn will involve two new experiences: exploring the realm of porn and discovering the world of VR.  

How does it all work?

When we tried BaDoink we used the Playstation VR Headset. This is probably one of the most complicated ways to use the platform since we needed a USB stick formatted for the PS and an apposite (free) software.

This, admittedly it took us some time.

You can, however, watch the videos via a host of other accessories: including Oculus, Samsung Gear and your smartphone

Of course, apart from your VR Headset, you will need a subscription to a virtual reality porn platform. On BaDoink, this costs $24.95 per month. Before you take the plunge, though, you can also try it out for $1.00.

Once you have a Membership, though, you can download the movies of your choice freely and watch them on whatever headset you’re using. 

This preparation contrasts with the old-fashioned 2D porn, where you just press play and watch. At the same time, the end result is much more immersive and gives you a totally different feel.

To be honest, I would hesitate to go through the hassle on my own. But for the fun of playing with Aliki, it was definitely worth it!
