VR porn didn’t feature at Facebook Connect. It got great as never before
In light of this week's Facebook Connect event, we have prepared an overview of the VR adult industry. Despite not being mentioned during the event, VR porn is a huge part of virtual reality. In this message from the CEO of SexLikeReal, discover more about the latest far-reaching technological developments, such as multicam technology, VR cams, interactive toys and more.

2020 is turning out to be a fantastic year for VR porn. We have managed to bump the content library on SexLikeReal up to 10,000 titles. This is an incredible achievement from VR porn compared to mainstream videos that barely had any success. Hundreds of new movies are released each month now and the quality of recent releases has been remarkable.
The great line-up includes:
- The amazing multicam scene Winter Jade: ‘Sex Avatar’. For the first time, multiple camera units were used to create a picture-in-picture scene in VR. It showcases overwhelming visuals that go beyond any real-life experience and allows the user to see the action from three viewpoints simultaneously.
- ‘Avatars in Action’ with Blake Blossom likely predicts the future of VR sex .
- ‘Half-Life AlyXXX Parody’ became a bestseller straight away, depicting popular VR game moments that didn’t make it to the official release. And if you are a fan of The Witcher series, make sure to check The Witcher XXX Parody.
- Amateur performers are overcoming technical challenges to bring their VR porn into the world, with great scenes from Meana Wolf, Lindsay Love and Emily Bloom released recently.
Many new titles are now released in 200º-220º FOV with undistorted fish-eye projection based on lens specifications. An extra 10º added from each side is essential to keep a viewer immersed, offsetting the natural head movements that kill immersion in 180º videos. Also, fish-eye requires fewer renderings, meaning the image quality is closer to the original raw file. And the processing performance of fish-eye is significantly better than with equirectangular, resulting in your chipset getting less hot and leading to longer battery life on mobile headsets.
The single biggest achievement of 2020 was launching VR live cams with around 20 live performers available at every single moment. It seems to be the fastest-growing section of the site. We are overcoming the latest technical limitations to scale it up, providing an option for everyone to get live in VR on SexLikeReal. Live cams bring a social element, like a life particle to the vast universe of VR porn. VR cams and videos are superior to the flat content we became used to over the years. For first-timers it’s always an eye-opening experience. Once you try cams in VR you never go back.
We’re excited to see what else the future holds for VR broadcasting in the adult industry. In the time of COVID, it’s great when people come together and interact in a live virtual environment that transports users to the performer’s private quarters. The experience is not only immersive but also social. Users influence the livecam performance by making requests and tipping the performers.
Plenty of videos at SLR are now fully integrated with interactive sex toys. They are synchronized to perfectly match the movements, making for an incredibly immersive experience. As a side note, it takes around eight hours for an experienced editor to create a typical script. It triggered the production of “edging” videos, which are intended to use with interactive toys.
And last but not least we have a greatly updated SLR app. The first and only VR porn app includes amazingly hot videos all around the viewer featuring 1-click VR video streaming that automatically uses the best setup for each headset.
With Oculus Quest 2 release things seem to be progressing the right way. The first generation of Oculus Quest became the most popular headset on SexLikeReal accounting for 36% of active users. The second generation, with a near-4K single panel screen and for the first time 8K video decoding, is going to become the headset of choice for watching VR porn. Quest users can enjoy it even more with our “QUEST2” promo code unlocking access to some of the best deals we have ever offered.
SexLikeReal Streaming distribution:
Over the past 5 years, SexLikeReal became the center of the VR porn community. Without a single dollar of investment, we managed to push technology to the limit providing viewers with a much better VR video experience than any global video streaming platform. 2020 is set to become the best year for VR porn as overall annual sales are expected to surpass $100M thanks to the variety of content and technology we have managed to establish. We are expanding the borders by introducing SexLikeReal.JP for Japanese users with thousands of censored-only JAV titles. We are also happy to introduce the SLR Premium lifetime plan. For a cost of a moderate VR rig, visitors can enjoy an unlimited supply of VR porn over the coming years. We will also keep pushing things further. Hopefully, we will have lightfield 6DOF videos a few years from now.
I also want to mention that VR is facing some really challenging times. There was no US production during the whole time of pandemic from April up until June 16th. I’m proud that we provided thousands of users with free SLR app access throughout the time of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Many popular adult performers get really excited about VR when they discover it and often promote VR to their vast fanbase:
