Women & VR Porn: A Perfect Match

It has long been held that images arouse men while women are aroused by emotional connection. In reality, studies show it to be quite a bit more complex:

men are more sexually aroused by visual stimuli, but women are more sexually aroused by concrete, auditory, olfactory, touch and emotionally relevant sexual stimulation.”
(Chung, Lim, Yoo, Yoon; Gender difference in brain activation to audio-visual sexual stimulation; Int J Impot Res 25, 138–142 (2013)

As many communities become more open to non-traditional sexuality, women will find themselves represented in porn with equal variety and depth. Heterosexual women have shown that the stereotypical interest in romantic, relationship-based “porn for her” is just that, a stereotype. It may be true for some viewers, but it’s not the extent of their interest. That runs much deeper.

Women for Women

Sexologists from Kinsey to Kelly & Musialowski have determined women to be just as geared towards direct affection as men. However, they are more likely to project themselves into a given scene mentally. Virtual reality, then, seems not only a giant leap forward for porn in general, but for female porn viewers in particular. Traditional porn relied heavily on a male-centric vision to excite an audience. Even VR porn for women has been largely defined by what we now call “the male gaze,” but a new generation of remarkable female porn creators are changing how porn is both produced and perceived. Instead of creating purely audio-visual stimuli, they’re not fashioning fully cultivated virtual realities, especially for women.

Sex Differences in Response to Visual Sexual Stimuli (Rupp, Wallen; Arch Sex Behav., 2008) supported earlier findings that women self-report stronger arousal when viewing porn created by women rather than by men. With more women today making porn at a higher professional level to more mainstream exposure, and with VR porn leading the adult industry into a future more concerned with simulating human connections than the usual porn tropes, the stage is set for an even greater contribution from female creators. For female VR porn users, the benefits should be huge.

A VR Porn Sampler for Her

Studios such as YanksVR are already releasing female-friendly content produced by largely, if not exclusively, female crew and finding that the audience is far from limited to the fairer sex. Professional sex therapist Dr. Holly Richmond lent her expertise to BaDoinkVR for their production Virtual Sexology, a pair of scenes – one for him, one for her – that lead the viewer through a range of techniques and tips on arousing both themselves and their partner.
