NSFW: Watch these people strap on a Samsung Gear VR to watch virtual reality porn for the first time [VIDEO]
WARNING: NSFW content ahead. Those easily offended, turn back now or watch this video about bunnies instead
When they announced the Samsung Gear VR last summer, we’re gonna go out on a limb and say pornography was probably the last thing Samsung guessed people would be using their virtual reality headset for (fun fact: porn is essentially illegal in South Korea). But if history has taught us anything, give any new technology enough time and someone will eventually throw some good ‘ol porn on it. Even Google Glass. Back in 2010, Steve Jobs said that if you’re looking for porn, Android is the best place for you and your insatiable desires. Maybe he wasn’t completely off base.
Arguments have been made that for new content platform to succeed, it’s gotta have the adult entertainment industry behind it (some have attributed the success of the VCR to this). While we’ll save that debate for a later time, we suppose the 3D world of virtual reality was only the next logical place for porn to find its way to, especially given the popularity of what the kids call point-of-view, or “POV porn.”
In his Samsung Gear VR review, our own Kevin Krause admitted that while gaming was pretty neat bonus when it came to virtual reality content, it’s the full 360-degree movies that really created that really created that “WOW” moment. We think Samsung felt the same way, launching their own Samsung Milk VR app for the headset that keeps the (G-rated) virtual reality videos flowing, and the headset strapped to its user.
While not as readily available as regular 2D porn, some adult production companies have wasted no time in delivering up a piping hot plate of XXX VR content for the few headset owners out there (the Gear VR only became available for sale last month and only officially supports the Galaxy Note 4).
Pioneering this brave new world is a group of ready and willing Complex Media employees who’s firsthand experiences were filmed and recently uploaded to YouTube for all to see. While most find the experience jarring or “uncomfortable” (possibly as a result of avoiding sounding like a pervert in front of coworkers), the women enthusiastically recommended it, one saying it would “change the game” and feared it would “eliminate the need for human interaction altogether.” Sounds… intense.
The video is actually quite hilarious and pushes the boundaries of what YouTube will allow on their site. Needless to say it is very NSFW but probably no more than your favorite R-rated movie (most of the nudity and such has been censored). That being said, proceed at your own risk.
