With everything that’s going on in the world right now, 2020 will probably go down in history as the year that long-distance relationships became the norm and VR porn usage skyrocketed in any household that has a decent wifi connection.
There are many ways to satisfy your sexual needs if you’re currently alone. You can masturbate whilst having a fantasy about something or someone, you can watch porn, you can have cybersex with your partner (or a random stranger on the internet, we’re not judging) and you can use a variety of toys to make things that little bit more fun. However, is one method better than another? In this article, we’re looking specifically at cyber sex vs virtual porn – which one takes the gold star?
Cyber Sex – As Old as The Internet Itself
Let’s start with cyber sex, as that’s been around since the internet was first invented and people were able to chat to each other via online chat rooms. Bet you haven’t thought about those in a while! Chat rooms still exist, though they’re nowhere near as popular as they were before as people prefer to message each through social media now.
Anyway, things have really progressed since then and whereas cyber sex initially started off with people messaging each other dirty things in text-form, it quickly escalated. Users were soon able to send photos (ever wondered who was the first person in the world to send a dick pic?) and even more recently – to be able to “do it” via webcam.
Nowadays, cyber sex is a combination of all of those things – texts, audio, photos, and videos of sexual nature that are exchanged between two or more people. This is often accompanied by masturbation in real life.
There are a number of popular webcam sites that allow people to openly masturbate on camera while others watch them. This can satisfy an individual’s fantasy or fetish and one of the advantages is that you can ask for your cyber sex partner to perform things that you like. Of course it’s up to them if they decide to do it or not, but at least the person at the other end of the screen it real and that gives the experience a very authentic feel.
On the more intimate side of things, cyber sex is often used by people in long-distance relationships to keep the spark alive between each other and this can be a great way to strengthen your partnership.
On the downside, cyber sex is still staring at a screen, much like regular porn, just with a more realistic angle and a 2-way interaction.
VR Porn – The Latest Advancement in Adult Filmmaking
As we all know, porn has been around for decades however, VR porn has only been around for a few years and is quickly gaining popularity in the adult sector. Millions are purchasing virtual reality equipment to watch VR porn videos and engage in VR sex because of its life-like feel and novelty.
Whether you like being the observer and watch other people having sex, or if you prefer to be the center of attention and watch yourself from a POV (point of view) perspective, there’s something for everyone.
One of the magical things about virtual reality is that you can transcend roles and genders, so if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to, for example, be in a completely different body, then VR porn is the place to be and can even help people make decisions if they’ve ever thought about undergoing a sex change.
People with physical disabilities also turn to VR for similar reasons. The real world can be challenging for these individuals, and they may have limitations when it comes to sex. However, in virtual reality, none of those things matter, and through the POV perspective, they can see themselves as having a different body. This can be seen as a kind of sexual therapy that has a fully interactive experience.
You may not be able to ask the actors in the movie to do exactly what you like, but there are millions of scenarios to choose from, from simple blowjobs to hardcore BDSM, so there’s bound to be something that you like. Also, the interaction in VR porn is one-sided, but unlike cyber sex, in virtual reality, everything feels like it’s actually happening to you. You have your goggles on, your earbuds in, so you’re completely immersed in the experience – you’re not just looking at a small screen in front of you.
With technology advancing rapidly, it won’t be long before we’ll be able to have cyber sex in virtual reality. Imagine how amazing that would be – best of both worlds!
