Why is virtual reality porn appealing? You should get yourself a nice headset and try it out. You will love it. But why? Very rarely do people consider why they like porn. Since VR porn is so new, even fewer people consider why they like this virtual reality experience.
Why do we Like it? What Does it Say About us?
I came to these questions after reading some work by the strange dirty perverted pop philosopher Slavoj Žižek. His work often is traced back to that of Sigmund Freud. Yes, the psychoanalyst that argued all men want to bang their mothers.
No Mom Banging
Zizek abandons much of the mom banging theories and instead focuses on larger social issues including virtual reality. He argues that virtual reality itself as a medium that tells us something about our reality. He wrote in 2002, that:
“On today’s market, we find a whole series of products deprived of their malignant property: coffee without caffeine, cream without fat, beer without alcohol… Virtual Reality simply generalizes this procedure of offering a product deprived of its substance: it provides reality itself deprived of its substance, of the resisting hard kernel of the Real – in the same way decaffeinated coffee smells and tastes like the real coffee without being the real one, Virtual Reality is experienced as reality without being one. However, at the end of this process of virtualization, the inevitable Benthamian conclusion awaits us: reality is its own best semblance.”
Why Does he Compare Virtual Reality to Decaffeinated Coffee?
He is arguing that virtual reality offers an alternate reality that is constructed specifically without key elements. This key factor is “the kernel of the Real.” What is the kernel of the Real? When watching virtual reality porn we are watching and experiencing it as an event; we can see the girl getting fucked doggy style, it actually happened. Someone filmed it. Therefore we are experiencing something real. At the same time, virtual reality porn is appealing because it is not really real. You are not actually there. You are not cheating on your girlfriend. You don’t have to worry about STD’s or clingy bitches.
Real but Without the Mess
Like decaf coffee, a cup of joe without the caffenine buzz and bladder iritation, VR Porn offers a constructed reality missing key elements. By using virtual reality porn videos like those on our site, you are getting a fucking bonerific experience without the mess of the real. Your erotic desires can be preserved, actualized and satiated. Its guilt free. Consequence free. You get to experience more variety than most guys get to sample in the real world. We have everything. Trust me.
An Escape
In our hyper-media world, we are bombarded with media events like news blogs, Facebook posts, and emails. Now and then, you need to take a break from these tedious virtual distractions. Watch some of our videos and escape. Try the virtual reality porn that offers a reality without actually being messy and real.
With all of this in mind, we must consider that Žižek’s concluding line may be the most important insight. He wrote “reality is its own best semblance.” This means that virtual reality porn, although an illusion, is a kind of reality. It echoes reality, which is only a mirror of the zeitgiest. If we leave behind our questions about what is real and what isn’t real, then we can enjoy whatever we encounter at its fullest. This brings me to my next question. What happens when we mix the virtual and the real?
Virtual Reality Porn with Real Sex
In my next piece, I will discuss combining the materiality of real sex with the virtual experience of virtual reality porn. Does it work? Was it better than regular sex? Who are we fucking ?

There’s no doubt to it that VR Porn offers more privacy and allows shy persons to come out of their cocoon and enjoy watching porn…
