Let's not beat around the bush: pornography is big business. We know it, you know it, the weird little man who lives down the street certainly knows it - but what happens when science goes too far? Or indeed, not far enough? The answer, innocent readers, is having adult entertainment beamed directly into your eyeballs via virtual reality headsets.
Now, whenever the topic of VR porn gets brought up, the kind of people who visit this very website are quick to ponder Sony's stance on the matter. PlayStation VR launches later this year, but does the Japanese company have any plans to bring 18+ material to its home console? Apparently, the answer is no.
In a rather funny new video straight from E3 2016, VideoGamer ask porn peddlers Naughty America if the brand has ever contacted Sony with regards to putting its content on PlayStation. A representative of Naughty America - and no, we're not going to link to its home page, you dirty git - tells the publication that it's tried getting in touch with Sony, but Sony never responds. That's a bit harsh, we reckon.
Right, so we have to ask: do you want VR porn on PS4? Would you find a use for it? Try not to get too raunchy in the comments section below.

Yes, of course...
Edit: Excellent choice of picture to go with the article!
to be honest it will be relased on Rift or Vibe for the people who want this kind of thing
I imagine the PS4's web browser will be the best bet of VR porn on PlayStation 4. I highly doubt Sony will do something like offer it via PlayStation Video or have a dedicated app available.
That image Hahah
I certainly wouldn't complain if we did get it...
Pornograwhat now? Never heard of it. Nintendo franchise for kids I assume. Lame.
Party poopers.
It's not going to happen. Despite being happy enough for Kratos to jump up and down on a bed with naked ladies (that's what I assume was happening) Sony will always distance themselves from real life snuggle videos.
From what I understand, we're not missing much. I hear the end result just looks... odd.
Officially sanctioned or not, we all know someone will find a workaround. It's inevitable.
@MadAussieBloke Let's not go down this path. Please let's not go down this path.
Me. Want. Soon.
@MadAussieBloke
Noice! That's my kinda VR porn!
No coz I'm not single. Ooh shots fired.
@BLPs I fail to see how being single or married makes a difference in the topic of Pornography at all; and with VR specifically I think they will get creative (hint: it doesn't always have to be single player).
That being said I don't think this has a place on a game console; although if updates are made to generically support 360 degree videos from your HDD (or more interactive on a BluRay), then I don't see how they will stop it.
@thedevilsjester It was a joke at single folk watching pornographic material. Seems my sense of humour is a mystery to people. :/
On that note I think this kind of...ahem....game....would not only get ripped apart by Tumblr regulars because it objectifies SOMEONE in some way, it would also never get past ratings boards.
Don't worry, Naughty America, Sony don't respond to my emails when I send them requests to publish my homemade videos on their products either.
They allow games where I can shoot people in the face blow up bombs, run over people in the street, sleep with hookers yet pornography is not acceptable great moral job Sony.
But a VR game like Summer Lesson were you "hang" out with a schoolgirl is no problem whatsoever. That's not creepy at all...
My beautiful fiance is all I need and takes up my time. What time I've got left I want to spend playing games lol!
I tried VR porn on the rift, and it is.... odd. Considering you can't feel the heat or breath of a woman who is SOOOOOOO close to you, it's little bit like being molested by a cyber ghost. I'm still undecided if it's for me tbh.
@AhabSpampurse "It's little bit like being molested by a cyber ghost" - HAHAHAHA comment of the day right here.
@ShogunRok my thanks to thee.
From my independent research there's already a plethora of websites that would in theory allow for PSVR Porn (I mean they've already ahem got categories) . Sony would have to cut out web functionality to stop this, which I don't see happening.
They would never promote it through the store or anything or even speak about it. It's up to the parent/guardian to set up the parental controls.
Not going to post a link? Wow, what possible address could a website called NaughtyAmerica possibly have? The mind boggles at the possibilities.
@Nickolaidas Gotta work that brain of yours if you want the goods.
If it does happen, releases will come in spurts... cough
You all make Spyro cry...
It's a no brainer, and an eventuality... HOWEVER Sony is making the right decision to not get into that business. The PSVR is for gaming as far as anyone understands, and to launch porn on the device would create a PR stir that I am sure Sony has no interest in. ..... That being said, you can be absolutely sure that companies making VR devices for PC will have no problem in cashing in. Personally, I imagine that porn being on your VR headset will be by default of the function of the device - much in the same way that I am able to access Porn through the PS4 web browser.
@dryrain Right on.
This technology is Banging! PSVR comes complete with loads of wires, a headset, headphones and Kleenex. Be careful not to accidentally shoot the cat.
Most blokes would like it surely; I would. I'm holding out for VR 3D though
@Splat Was going to say that as well lol. Summer Lessons will most likely be the first of many games of the questionable nature.
There are no AO games, so of course there won't be any of this. Officially I mean.
Why would they. Someone's gonna hack it and do it themselves tho. Be sure of it. Pro tip from me tho, stop being a schmuck and maybe you'll get a girlfriend one day. jk
@Splat 'creepy'
Well, there's probably not going to be enough VR games (cough demos) to keep people happy. May as well allow it and sell a few more headsets
Not that I expect an official endorsement but they should probably not prevent people's workarounds.
I want everything in VR I don't want no pc VR to have a big advantage over #PSVR
@kyleforrester87 Pornography means sexual content.
Ima get me an my wife VRs an have virtual sex 😂😂 like in judge dred 😂😂😂😂
Already tried this with the Google cardboard, and it's certainly an enjoyable experience.
But as others have said, if it got Web access, it will be there for people to use. I do also wonder if the PSVR will have compatibility with the latest Sony phones as well.
It's a shame, as I do enjoy a spot of beating around the bush.
But seriously, porn is already on other devices already so I doubt they're too bothered. And it makes sense for Sony not to officially allow it as it opens a whole can of worms on things like parental controls and what not.
But I still don't understand why porn is seen by some as a taboo subject. A lot of people enjoy sex and porn (I say most because asexuality is also a thing) so I've never understood why people call each other dirty. If anything the word "dirty" is a compliment.
Even so, I'm not particularly bothered about porn VR - I've got my own gloriously filthy imagination already.
@RawShark He's not doing it anymore, he's a dad now.
@TheSherlokHokage gigity
@ShogunRok Can I use my lower head instead?
@Churchy On your last point, that's certainly true.
Of course there will be porn on the PSVR as it supports stereoscopic 360 video files, all you have to do is download the file, put it on a hard drive and then connect your hard drive to your PS4.
