Virtual Reality Porn is Here (Facebook is invested in this)
New York Post ^ | March 28, 2016 | James Covert

As Oculus VR finally ships its virtual-reality headsets to the public, it’s heralding the potential of video games and movies — but it’s also quietly giving a wink to porn producers.

The Facebook-owned startup announced Monday that its new “Rift” headset has more than 30 games available as the first units ship this week, with 100 titles expected by the end of 2016.

Meanwhile, insiders say Facebook execs appear to be relying on another kind of content to drive demand for the Rift — namely, VR porn flicks.

Porn is a driving force behind most tech innovations in the modern world. Streaming content, pay walls, video compression, online credit card processing, these were all in use by the porn industry for years before “legit” industry figured out what to do with them. If porn is finding a use for it that might actually mean the tech is working.

I don’t have an account but yesterday on the Cruz scandal twitter feed anyone can look at including kids, some crazy nasty filthy beast was posting anal sex shots for all to see.

You don’t have to look for porn. Some people post it for you.

Sometimes I hate the internet.

Can you create your own players, team? Are there playoffs? Is there fantasy betting? Sick!

Porn was a big factor in VHS beating Beta.

It’s the reason we will need remote-controlled cars.

If they come up with a title called “I’d Hit It”, we may lose Laz forever.

Yup. The entertainment industry is driven by it, though they never want to admit it.

Except for search engines, porn sites are the #1 websites on Earth and at least half of net traffic is porn.

Porn sales combined exceed all hollywood movies combined. Even though most people don’t pay for porn.

I know there’s no way to stop it but what did these porn producers expect would happen? Sex is the #1 human craving besides air/food/water. How could they not see millions of people becoming addicted to fake sex?

Now with VR it will be exponentially worse.

Sometimes just because you CAN make something, doesn’t mean you should...

So true. When cave men first started to paint on rock walls, it was large breasted and big butt women.

Sculptors too.

Photography as well.

EVERY art form and technological advance debuted with porn.

In general it seems the first thing we figure out how to do with technology is kill or breed. One of my favorite tech stories is room refrigeration (AC), it got invented and then languished for a while as nobody could figure out what to do with it, then somebody said “we could take train cars, make them really cold, and ship meat to the front line of the Civil War and it would stay fresh for the whole journey.” Somehow nobody could put those ideas together without a war to support, being a desert dweller my mind boggles on how nobody could figure out what to do with AC.
