Many providers of adult VR fare, including BadoinkVR (website not safe for work), already stream their content to VR headset browsers. What’s more, Oculus is shipping the Go with a full-featured web browser. The device supports sideloading of videos via USB cable, and consumers can access their personal media collections with apps like Plex VR. In fact, the Oculus Go is making it quite easy to consume content from third-party sources, including adult VR websites. Usage stats from adult video providers like BadoinkVR offer some interesting insights into the popularity of various VR headsets. “ While we don’t distribute apps that violate this policy, we don’t police what people choose to interact with outside our store environment on their own.” “Our code of conduct is meant to address the kind of content people can interact with in social experiences and our content guidelines reflect the types of applications we will distribute through the store,” the spokesperson said. However, a company spokesperson told Variety that it had no plans to ban people who watch the occasional naughty video with the device, as long as they keep the media to themselves, and don’t bother others on the company’s social platforms. The company previously had the same language in its Code of Conduct, but elevated it by adding that Code to the Terms of Service with the most recent update. In it, Oculus is telling consumers that they “may not use or promote sexually explicit, abusive or obscene content.” But its new terms of service, which went into effect this past weekend, seemingly go a lot further.
Much like the operators of other app stores, Oculus isn’t allowing any adult content in its own store. Officially, the company has been toeing a don’t-ask-don’t-tell line on adult content, which can be confusing at times. The perfect porn device: Facebook is unlikely to embrace that tag line for its marketing of the Go any time soon. Audiences can even engage with super-heroines, thanks to sites like VRCosplay X (some of the performers of the site, which is operated by BadoinkVR, are pictured above). And with VR porn growing, there are now clips for many different tastes. With 3D and the ability to look around (albeit often only within a 180-degree sphere), these clips are meant to be more immersive, life-like than your typical porn video. Most of them offer videos that follow the same formula: Shot in what’s known in the industry as POV (point of view) style, depicting the protagonist from the torso down, they give viewers wearing a headset the illusion that they are not an observer, but in the middle of the action. There is no word on how big the market for VR porn is, but there are now dozens of websites catering to an audience of VR enthusiasts with an interest in X-rated fare.
