Virtual reality porn may be closer than you think

If you are tired of watching your porn on a computer screen or smart phone, and really want to get a little closer to the real action, you may soon be in luck.

Facebook-owned Oculus VR - the virtual reality (VR) device, and a frontrunner in the industry - has promised that it won’t block X-rated content.

Palmer Luckey, the company's founder, was answering questions at the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Conference in San Jose when the issue of porn came up.

“Whether you feel comfortable acknowledging it or not, VR porn is being made and it is definitely awesome. Do you think the industry will continue to passively allow it or do you expect VR leaders will actively block adult content from VR systems?” the panel attendee asked.

“The rift is an open platform," Luckey replied. "We don’t control what software can run on it. And that’s a big deal.”

You'll have to wait to experience what this new frontier in porn looks like. Pre-orders for the device will be taken later this year, with the actual product shipping sometime in 2016.

And yes, businesses are prepared to fill your VR needs. Brian Shuster, from Red Light Center and Utherverse, said his company has already invested $40 million making Red Light Center 2.0, a 3D-animated online sex club, compatible with Oculus Rift.

Add some headphones and a USB-enabled Fleshjack and you'll never have to leave your house for sex!
