Pornography is everywhere, and the Internet is no exception. Even with all the other types of sites available — shopping, educational, storytelling, maps, shopper reviews, etc. — porn accounts for somewhere between 4 and 15 percent* of Internet traffic. Is it any wonder that Virtual Reality would be part of this market?
The New York Times expands: “While virtual-reality pornography may feel like something out of a science fiction movie, it already has a formidable, if underground, presence. According to website Pornhub, views of VR porn are up 275 percent since it debuted in the summer of 2016. Now the site is averaging about 500,000 views (on Christmas Day in 2016, this number shot up to 900,000.)”
Aside from an enhanced erotic experience, programmers are delving into sex therapy, consent and empathy, STI prevention, and much more.
