Each major technological innovation brings with it a new set of questions and concerns surrounding its use. As adult entertainment gets increasingly realistic, there comes a time when we have to ask the question “How real is too real?” There’s no doubt that VR sex far exceeds the quality of any previous type of porn, so are we approaching a point when the experience is so good that it might actually have a negative effect on our relationships?
The Critics
Whenever a new type of technology hits the market, there is always a small but vocal group of people who rise up in opposition. Concerns are often raised – some justified, some not – about the impact the technology will have on society. Because VR is so revolutionary, there was bound to be a few critics, but are their concerns valid?
Maybe It’s Good For Us?
Before we get into the potential risks involved with VR porn, it’s worth noting the very real benefits of this new entertainment. Many of the advantages of traditional porn also apply to VR but for the purpose of this article, we are going to focus specifically on how virtual reality porn impacts romantic relationships. This means that we will have to overlook many of the scientifically proven benefits of traditional porn use and instead, turn our attention to the more subtle advantages that porn may provide.
Increase Sexual Awareness
One benefit that VR pornography can provide is a safe way for people to explore their sexuality with their partner. By sharing their tastes and preferences with their significant other, a person can feel more satisfied and accepted in the relationship. VR porn can assist in this process by giving people a fun and convenient way to engage one another during this experience. It can sometimes be embarrassing to share these preferences with our partners but sexual communication is an important aspect of any healthy relationship.
Sexual Outlet
VR pornography can act as a necessary sexual outlet for some people who might otherwise be unfaithful. People have different levels of sex drive. Sometimes, one partner wants sex much more frequently than the other and in these cases, it might be useful to use VR porn as an alternative release. This release might give the extra bit of help a person needs to avoid cheating. Even in cases where the couple is entirely monogamous and there is no risk of cheating at all, virtual reality porn can still provide a way for one partner to remain satisfied without having to constantly inconvenience the other.
Is It Cheating?
VR porn certainly has many benefits, but the truth is that relationships require compromise. If your partner is getting jealous over your porn habits, then it really doesn’t matter what word you use to describe it, there’s something wrong. The fault may lie with your partner’s low self-esteem or it may lie with your own shortcomings but either way, it’s probably not the fault of those digital boobs on your VR monitor.

No cheating at all…. Its keep you up with the same energy to have sex with your same partner, though by getting to taste different flavors.

It’s just like any other entertainment or hobby — too much is bad and if your partner does not agree, why continue being with them? Loljk

this is not cheating at all for me, this is exactly like having other distractions in your life like watching football match while your girl wants to have sex lol
