What Do Pornstars Feel About Immersive Porn?
Porn has always been a medium that relies on talented actors and actresses to express the most basic of human emotions with an ever-expanding set of physical actions. Now with the technological advancements in VR, the ways lust and love can be expressed are growing exponentially, but so are the challenges that pornstars face in their efforts to appear natural on screen while surrounded by a very artificial list of on-set equipment.
We spoke with a few top talents in the industry and agreed to keep their identities confidential to avoid any backlash from producers due to their candid opinions on the obstacles they face at work these days.
“It’s not that easy,” said one gorgeous blonde in her mid twenties. “Fucking in front of a camera is something anyone can do… I mean, many choose not to, but spreading your legs and moaning isn’t exactly rocket surgery. However, when you make that a VR set it becomes a lot more challenging to maintain a connection with the audience… which is weird since VR is all about that connection. That’s the hard part… VR lets the viewer experience everything that happens in the room, so there is nowhere to hide a microphone boom and if you make an ugly face when you sneeze off camera, it’s still always on camera in VR.”
The ubiquity of the camera’s viewpoint was something many pornstars mentioned. In the past a lot of things could be done on set with the camera simply pointed off in another direction. However with VR the entire set is always in view, so things as simple as changing outfits or applying lube have become logistical complications for pornstars.
“The girls complain a lot more than the men in this industry, which is funny because the simple fact is they have a lot less to complain about,” said a male actor famous for the size of his penis. “As a male VR pornstar, I have to lay perfectly still for as long as an hour, not move my hands or speak and avoid turning my head unless it’s absolutely necessary – yet I’m supposed to remain rock hard the entire time. Try that at home fellas… next time you are fucking your girl, have her get on top and you lay there perfectly still…. for an hour. Then cum within 60 seconds of a Director’s request!”
We asked a producer from the world’s premier virtual porn membership service and website WankzVR.com if they would comment on these issues publicly, and we give them props for agreeing to do so on the record.
“Yes, all of that is absolutely true, and worth mentioning,” said Brad of WankzVR. A lot goes into making a great VR porn video like the ones we film exclusively for Wankz VR fans. Extra rigging, cameras, microphones, and plenty of technical prep work are all in play behind the scenes. We appreciate every moment our talented models are on screen, and all the hard work they put in before or after the videos are completed. That’s why VR pornstars are paid a premium… because not everybody can do it. Some of the biggest names in flat porn can’t pull off a great VR porn scene so it’s creating a whole new set of superstars, and we are proud to work with all of them. Is it hard, absolutely… is it worth doing right… you bet your ass it is and one look at www.WankzVR.com proves it!
