Loads of couples incorporate porn into their relationship, it’s not just for playing solo! People use it to inform their fantasies, turn each other on or even get ideas for positions! But tech has come on leaps and bounds, and propping a screen awkwardly on the end of the bed doesn’t have to be the way you do it anymore. Welcome to adult VR industry! Research has even shown that the VR porn industry could reach $96 billion by 2026. This is one train that people are piling onto. Ready to take your headset between the sheets? Here’s what you need to know!
Communication is everything
When you’re inviting someone else into your bedroom – whether it’s through fantasy or reality – constant communication between the two of you is HUGELY important. Consent and communication are vital in any sexual encounter, even virtual ones. If your partner isn’t on board with any part of your new rendezvous, then you need to take a step back and address things. This doesn’t mean that your dream is dead, but rather you need to reassess how you go about it. Try to get to the root of your partner’s issues, and solve them together rather than either party being forced into something they’re not comfortable with.
It’s not just for the guys
A huge misconception around porn of any kind is that it’s only for guys to enjoy, rather than gals and each and everyone of us. For some people, porn just doesn’t do it for them – but if you think that it might be your thing, why not give it a go? There’s no shame around it whatsoever embrace your own pleasure!
Use it to figure out what you like
Many people, particularly women, don’t actually know what they like when it comes to sex, because so much of what teenage boys learn what to do (aka what not to do) through porn. But if you go to the right place on the internet, you can find porn that is far more realistic. You can even find female-friendly porn directed by women that takes into account the female point of view. The more you see your own self – or someone you can relate to – being played with and receiving pleasure – the more you might think abut how you could pleasure yourself.
Use solo
Masturbation is a big part of a healthy sex life, even if you’re in a relationship. So maybe one you’ve got a few ideas from some female-friendly porn, you can take what you’ve learned and explore your own body. A lot of women enjoy watching same sex pornography – but what do you like? Now’s the perfect time to find out – don’t let your partner use the tech all the time!
Still keep it real
It’s important not to lose touch with your relationship. Remember, porn – whether it’s on a screen or seemingly in front of your eyes – isn’t 100% reality. Not every time between the sheets should involve your new VR headset. Make sure you schedule in time for just the two of you to get down and dirty with one another. The real connection between you two should be the one that you cherish; any addition to your bedroom should be to enhance things, not take anything away.
