Psvr and Porn: The Elephant in the Room

[Our lord who art in heaven, please don't let this thread go to shit and permaban me]

Is it a deal breaker for you?

From the $599 thread:

I don't see how it's going to happen.

They can't sell that content through the store. The only option would be using the media player for 360 videos or something. As far as software goes, again, they won't sell it through the digital store. Third party software on disc would be the only way I guess.

Not that I have thought about it too much...

I think I agree. My intiuition tells me that consoles are mostly things that all family members have access to and Sony doesn't want moms freaking out, which would happen if XXX appeared as a category in the store.

A sanitized, family friendly vr system is about as appealing as a family safe PC to me personally. And while I'm not a voracious consumer porn, I do like having it available. Besides felling good, regular ejaculation has been shown to increase mood, lower prostate cancer risk, stave off impotence as we age, and boost the immune system. Porn makes that easier and quicker than fantasies when sex isn't feasible.

So, I'm left wondering if psvr is going to feel incomplete.

If they let the web browser use VR then people can browse sites that have VR content up, and if those sites support PSVR then it will all be fine.

If they have a general purpose 360degree videoplayer (99.9% likely?) or let the web browser use VR then no problem. Time will tell.
Sony have already confirmed they are making the whole OS VR compatible.

PS5 will be out before VR porn directly on the web becomes a thing.

You cannot download media and games from websites in a closed system. & I'm talking about vrporn, not youporn or whatever.

I don't know, is there any special video format require for VR video? Or VR headset will automatically translate those format into VR video? How does it work?

I know YouTube have some 360 video you could play with gyro enable device, most 3D tv can play side by side 3D video format.
If PSVR support what ever format VR video is, then we got porn VR.
Porn VR games thou, that's out of the question.

If you want Porn on your VR headset, go to PC. There's plenty of porn already available that's compatible with VR.

"Porn" on PSVR with the PS4 will never be more than lewd poses and some moaning.

It's ok to just like fapping, you don't have to justify it.

Good point. I didn't think of that, derp.

This only gonna work if they allow 360° vids to be played on their mediaplayer...we don't know about that yet, right? And the porn stuff probably has some nasty DRM shit going on, so even then it could be unplayable??
 
Sad that making an Ao gamis pretty much a monetary black hole. Video stores never had a problem with it. Anal Fisting 5 not 30 feet way from Land before time 5, and all they have is 4 walls and a curtain. Pretty sure steam, Sony, and ms could do better than a curtain.

I like the theory behind VR porn, I can't think iof it being practical. Like POV porn from a girl's perspective isn't really a thing, and it doesn't sound very attractive to begin with. Most porn I enjoy is either yaoi/gay or like I enjoy seeing the whole thing and skipping around. but then I guess, we're like a very small percentage of the porn market anyways=\

I don't think I could do it.

Like...what if you have a heart attack mid-session? And your family members find you that way.

I mean, that's been a fear of mine even before VR, but, this just raises the stakes, for me. They should never know the things I've seen.
 
Sony doesn't need to sell it off of PSN. Just allow it on disc official or not and allow it to be put on a USB stick. Either way I know all of our fellow porno uploaders will not let us down. My brothers we have been preparing for this day since the beginning. The time is now. Do not fail us.

I got news for you.

The only WebVR API out there is from Mozilla.

- It is not a W3C standard.
- It is in a highly experimental state.
- It is only supported in preview state by Chrome and Firefox nightlies.
- There is almost 0 content out there compatible.

Explain yourself.

how does vr porn even look like?
it is the greatest scam of our time, wow you have a 360 fov video, at the end of the day it is still a video, just as exciting as watching netflix in vr

I fully expect them to have an all purpose VR media player that supports standard video in a virtual cinema and 360 video files. If they don't they'll get harassed until they add it. So porn is a given I'd say. What they won't have is those XXX digital waifu programs. In that area I expect stuff that makes Summer Lessons look downright prudish by comparison, if you're into that sort of thing. That's not really my bag. The porn is very interesting though. I think everyone (of age) should try it just to see what it does to their brains. Properly done it is trippy!

It is NOTHING like watching Netflix on a floating screen. Properly done its usually 180 degree video but the 3D and the fact that the scene is usually POV and taking up you FOV just sells it. If you don't like porn in general this probably won't sway you but if you occasionally watch porn this is a game changer.

Until "games" come out that are essentially interactive porn. Then everything changes... maybe.

It is so so easy. Just put a password system in place if you don't want anyone in there. It's what people do for their PC's. But the concept if foreign on consoles for some reason.

VR porn seems like a step too far for me anyway.
Not to say anybody shouldn't watch it (which they will, and it probably won't be considered weird in the near future either).
The fact that people are most likely working on VR anime porn shit really creeps me out, seems too enabling of weird waifu culture.

Most of the stuff that's out now definitely does not and can be played on your smartphone or computer or whatever device that has a VR player. Same will be possible if the media player in the PS4 is updated.

Well, how long did it take for the PS4 to be able to play mp3 and standard vid files? Genuine question as I don't remember it, never used that feature yet, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't in from day1, far from it.

Hmm, so these VR porn files could just be copied like standard .mp4 files? Strange, why would these companies not want to protect their stuff? Good news if true then ;)

Early VR porn consist only from simple fisheye videos that are reproduced to a sphere. User can watch around while sitting [cameraman/rig is also sitting/stationary]. If PSVR can access web browser [or the other way around :) ] there will be a way to play those spherical videos on PS4.

It took a good while which is why I said they will maybe have to get harassed for it. They probably want to sell you VR video content as opposed to letting you just use your downloaded files so it indeed may take a while for that feature to be available.


How much 3D porn content so far?

Not enough but some of what is out there is pretty good. New companies are announcing that they are filming content all the time so the floodgates are going to open sooner rather than later.

Sony won't allow porn in their walled garden and it will be the downfall of PSVR. Betamax all over again.

I like that. I want to view a messy sexing session through the eyes of the discarded pizza box.
