Discomfort, headache, nausea, disorientation, sweating, pallor or even vomiting. What can make you feel dizzy in VR? Can this happen with virtual porn?
Virtual reality sickness has become one of the most discussed topics of recent times (in the area of new technologies). The so-called VR sickness may occur when exposure to immersive virtual action causes symptoms that are very similar to classic motion sickness problems. In contrast with motion sicknesses, VR sickness is usually caused by movements done in virtual space (self-motion in VR).
A considerable amount of users claim that having the state of nausea in virtual reality is inevitable. They say that you’ll suffer dizzy spells after just one hour of usage. However, neither of these claims proved to be true. There is a range of theories to explain why people might experience motion sickness while enjoying their favorite entertainment in virtual space.
Whether it’s the theory of sensory conflict (mismatch between visual and vestibular senses) or the theory of evolution problems (it’s impossible to connect our feelings to VR ones), the fact is that only a minimal amount of people had problems with virtual porn.
The question is: why is that?
Movement in the virtual world is the cause of many problems.
From my own experience, I felt sick only when I was trying some of the flight games on PlayStation VR like Star Wars Battlefront: Rogue One (the X-Wing mission) or Call of Duty Infinite Warfare: Jackal Assault. These games immerse fans in the cockpits of spaceships and let them control the Jackal fighter or legendary X-Wing.
The space shootouts provide you a fantastic experience and plenty of beautiful views. Nevertheless, after ten minutes of gameplay, my mind was totally confused. In the real world, I was sitting in a stable, almost immobile couch while on the other side, I was piloting a high-speed fighter, while concentrating on shooting enemy crafts. The contradiction between the brain and the eyes caused a little nausea. The state of nausea lasted only a few minutes, so the experience was still amazing.
Virtual pornography has prevented these issues but at the cost of limited movement.
Have you ever wondered, why the walk in virtual porn looks so robotic?
The answer is pretty simple. The producers of our beloved porn content can’t simulate realistic walking. Their particular virtual “gait” needs to be fluent and move along a horizontal line. Otherwise, the cameraman would have to imitate that up-and-down movement which shakes your view in your headset shaken. To avoid nausea, it is absolutely necessary to create as gentle camera-movement as possible.
In this manner, you’ll be fine even if you’re sitting on a chair when your character is moving. The fact that the lens records the image along one line (path) allows the spectator to enjoy a beautiful view without any unwanted disturbance.
Moving on the ground vs. moving in space
Another great thing is that you can’t usually move around the space in virtual porn. Taking into account piloting a space fighter, in these situations you’re traveling at high speeds and great distances. The “traveling” perplexes your senes because your eyes are convinced that they are persecuting the other fighters, whereas the brain says that your body is not moving, just sitting on a solid object.
On the other hand, virtual porn allows you to enjoy all the fun down there on the solid ground. It’s just you, your favorite pornstar/s and the non-moving set. The maximum form of movement is a slow walk or zoom towards the sexual intercourse. There’s no running, flying, fighting or any danger of sudden motion.
Here are some examples of scenes, where you can try for yourself the virtual porn walk phenomenon.
Heart Shaped Ass
Heart Shaped Ass allows you to bang the lovely Spanish lady Zoe Doll, after a successful Valentine date. At the beginning of the scene, there are two walking sequences. First, when your character desires to approach Zoe’s home. Second, when you’re following Zoe upstairs. Not only is the scene thematic (Valentine day is coming!), it contains a lot of passion and love.
“…the real present unwrapping comes when Zoe gets out of her dress and rocks that big booty back and forth on your dick.” (BaDoinkVR)
Friendly Neighbor POV
In Friendly Neighbor, you’re a newly divorced man living in a happy and calm neighborhood. One day, your stunning neighbor (Australian MILF Aubrey Black) runs out of sugar. Aubrey can’t make her pie. Therefore she decides to ask you for a little bit of the sweet ingredient. After she knocks on your door, you know that this is going to be an excellent afternoon.
Regarding the “VR walking,” you’ll even try walking backward, while still watching the pornstar as she’s slowly reaching your hard pleasure-maker. The mentioned walk is slow and fluent.
Sicilia: Horny Hippie
The era of Hippies is over. However, that doesn’t mean it all ended. In Horny Hippie, Your girlfriend, Sicilia, is going through that rebellious phase of life. The hippie lifestyle is, of course, associated with a relaxed atmosphere and inexhaustible love.
So why don’t you let Sicilia suck your cock instead of a cigarette?
If you enjoy the classic CzechVR production, you will love this piece. “Sicilia: Horny Hippie” lets you feel the camera-movement a few times, in a very original CzechVR way. You can look forward to sweet, slow, and sensual sex with a lot of loud moans and tight close-ups. The most substantial element of this virtual reality porn scene is without any doubt, Sicilia.
How to prevent nausea?
For people who are sensitive to VR motion, it’s recommended to watch one of the shows with a non-moving camera. In these traditional scenes, you may taste some of your favorite stars in a timeless sex position like the cowgirl. Generally speaking, cowgirls and blowjobs are the safest positions. The environment does not move, and you’re just lying on the bed or sitting on a couch.
There are other tricks to how companies prevent VR sickness.
Nasum Virtualis
Maybe you’ve heard about one unique technique called Nasum Virtualis. Thanks to this technique, it is much easier to sense the virtual environment. This method shows a virtual nose in the form of a fixed frame or sometimes as a reference for VR headsets.
Regarding virtual porn, it’s tough to find a scene with fast rotational motion or an excessively large field of view.
Ultimately, virtual pornography is far safer than VR games and other apps. It’s very safe to watch your favorite video, without any symptoms of dizziness.

No offense but some hippies smell like shit

Great article. I rarely feel sick in VR, but when the camera moves in particular ways (mostly sideways) it can be very disorientating.

Thank you.
That’s true. The sideways moves are one of the worst for the human brain. Fortunately, it’s rare to find such VR porn show.
