Vivid Entertainment made a VR version of Kim Kardashian’s sex tape. They unveiled it as a new experience that gives the film a new life. When you put on the goggles, you’ll find yourself on a bed, watching the tape. However, the VR version of the tape takes this one step further. When the tape ends, you’ll see a lookalike step into the frame. That lookalike will then perform specifically for you, saying things like "I know you bought the video because you wanna see me. Why don’t we just play here?”
We have no way of knowing whether Kim actually approved of this. Somehow, I don’t see her approving a VR version of her sex tape complete with a lookalike (that’s actually pretty uncanny) pleasuring herself with a dildo for someone else’s enjoyment, but then again, these are the Kardashians and they’ve approved crazier things.
Vivid Entertainment is currently charging something like $119.97 a year for membership to the site. That might sound expensive to us, people who don’t have a VR setup, but for those that do that are partial to adult films, that money might be a small price to pay. There are other companies doing this as well. Pornhub’s actually offering their crop of VR adult films for free!
Lots of people have reviewed VR adult films, and everyone has said that the experience is a wild one. Raymond Wong reviewed VR adult films made by Naught America, which is one of the biggest adult film production companies in the country, and he had a lot to say about the experience. He even said that people who’ve experienced this might have a hard time going back to the regular 2D adult films.
Raymond Wong described the film that he watched, and said that “things got really weird.” The video he watched began with a female performer talking dirty to him, and the realization that he was put in the point of view of the muscular male performer in the video. That made things weird for him when a second girl came into the room and they both started performing oral sex on him in virtual reality.
While the Naughty America videos have a limited view, that didn’t seem to matter in the long run. Raymond mentioned that if he turned his head too far to the left or right, all he saw was black. However, that ended up not being too much of an issue because the more he watched the female performers, the more he “visualized being the VR [adult film] guy.”
A Naughty America spokesperson brought up a good point about the POV. According to the spokesperson, every VR adult film Naughty America only has a POV experience of about 180 degress. However, what are the chances that you’re going to be looking around and checking out the rest of the virtual room when you have virtual people having sex with you, anyway?
That wasn’t the only video Raymond watched, either. He noted the hyper-realism of the videos when he recounted the experience for Mashable. “During another VR [adult film] video, a [adult film] star leaned in so close to lock lips with me that I recoiled back because her VR presence was so real. In a different VR [adult film] video, where I dropped into a female body, a male [adult film] star who was thrusting into “me” was so up in my personal space, I swear I smelled his armpits. There wasn’t, of course, any smell.”
There’s not a lot of this content out there right now. For example, Naughty America only has maybe two dozen VR videos for its subscribers to watch. However, that’s going to change, because not only are they making one or two new ones a week, but other companies are rapidly adding their own VR adult films to the collection. As virtual reality becomes more commonplace, we can assume that VR adult films will too.
There are video games marrying VR tech with physical sex toys. For example, there’s a game called Custom Maid 3D, where you make your own maid to your specifications and navigate the game using a controller that goes around your penis. You also use that to have sex with the game avatar, too. There’s also a creepy game where the user has sex with the Japanese virtual pop star Hatsune Miku.
There’s another one, but it’s not exactly AAA quality. A game called Chathouse 3D uses the Oculus Rift, and it’s an interactive social network where people who are feeling particularly horny can customize an avatar that has sex with other people’s avatars. It even has its own game specific currency. However, the game is pretty deeply flawed. The game’s avatars are pretty sub-par, and the game itself has been called a "disorienting horrible mess.“ Basically, this is way more likely to give you a headache than turn you on.
All of this involves something called teledildonics, and it’s very male centric. The guys behind Chathouse 3D are more interested in adding a lot of new features, like “shop system integration” than they are in giving women a way to play. The absence of women hasn’t done anything to make them lose money, though: it turns out that they have more than 180,000 people playing and counting.
Needless to say, the VR adult industry is a young one, and they make mistakes. As the technology becomes available and gets more advanced, the better they can make adult films and adult games that are actually worth sitting though. Back when the games were created, creating VR adult films was a lot more trouble than it was worth, because it was a lot of effort for something that looked subpar.
Regardless, this is a growing industry, and it’s definitely something we should watch. While most of us are perfectly happy with our regular, run of the mill, two-dimensional adult films. the time might come where the majority of adult films that are made will be made with the Oculus Rift or some other VR device in mind. The Oculus Rift finally made it onto the market this year, so that time might be much closer than we think.
You. What are your thoughts on this? Would you consider watching Kim Kardashian's sex tape in a virtual reality experience, or will not even VR get you to watch it? We want to hear from you, so let us know in the comments section below.
