And aside from 2D porn, there's a new dimension in town: 3D porn.

virtual reality

. But different types of VR porn require different hardware or headsets.

If you want to immerse yourself in a VR video game, you'll want to shell out a lot more than, say, a

Oculus Go

which lets you watch KinkVR from your bed for less than $200. Then again, you might already have the necessary equipment to start watching VR porn. For example, if you own a

playstation4

and a PlayStation VR, so congratulations: your PSVR headset is ready for VR porn.

So if you're eager to learn how to watch adult content in VR, or want to know which VR headset is best for each type, read on for our recommendations.

What are the different types of virtual reality porn?

Generally speaking, the best VR porn is 3D. This means that each lens inside a user's VR headset sees a different image, while 2D VR porn shows users the same image in both lenses.

Non-interactive VR porn is shot with a series of cameras for 180 or 360 degree viewing, usually in high definition resolutions like 4K, 5K or 6K. When done correctly, premium adult VR content makes the viewer feel like they're really getting fucked by a hot guy, sleeping with a cheerleader, or fighting for Widowmaker during strap-on sex.

Meanwhile, virtual reality interactive media allow

"virtual sex",

that is, a form of sexual contact where the user interacts with another person (real or fictional) through technological devices. This usually involves VR controllers or sex toys that connect to the internet (

).

VR porn games

are plentiful and offer everything from serving as a dominatrix to role-playing with other VR users over the internet. They are developed for gaming PCs and are usually based on SteamVR.

What are the best VR porn headsets? p>

We've simplified things by focusing on three main categories of VR headsets: the best headset for VR porn videos, VR porn games, and portable VR porn viewing. Your favorite VR porn media will decide a lot about your VR headset, but not everything.

Here are some factors to keep in mind when shopping:

Application

< p>: Do you want to be an interactive VR participant or just a spectator?

Space

: do you have enough space to stand, bend, kneel and place sensors?< /p>

Budget

: how much can you afford, and what features are absolutely necessary for your porn?

Dedicated hardware

: do you have a VR compatible PC or smartphone? Do you even need it?

Fans of VR porn games will need as much physical space as possible to enjoy adult games, as the most popular options on the market invite full body movement.

Dominatrix Simulator

, for example, requires players to use all four limbs. Also, games like

Fallen Angel

are best enjoyed by walking around and watching the actions of the characters from different angles.

The Oculus Quest 2 should theoretically be the best option for playing VR porn games thanks to its wireless design and updated specs, but Oculus is keen to keep adult content out of its walled garden. There is a workaround through Oculus Link or the Virtual Desktop wireless app, but the technology itself is still being refined. So if you have the money to spend on a dedicated PC VR headset, you might want to buy one instead.

Attention:

In terms of PC VR headsets, the choices are slim. But budget options are still available. Range

Windows Mixed Reality

from Microsoft is still available used or as part of open offers on

eBay

. These typically range from $150 to $250, with options from Samsung, Acer, and HP.

These helmets sacrifice some of the bells and whistles seen in the

Valve Index

and

Oculus Rift

, but they'll give you an affordable head start that works well enough in a tight living space. Just make sure they have been thoroughly cleaned before purchase.

Best High End VR Porn Headsets

If you're interested in a much more dedicated, high-end VR gaming experience, there are plenty of options. L'

Oculus Rift S

and

HTC Vive Cosmos

both offer impressive VR experiences at 1280 x 1440 and 1440 x 1700 per eye, respectively. Both already have a sizable VR library thanks to SteamVR, though they're far from budget-friendly: the Oculus Rift S is $399 and the HTC Vive Cosmos is $699.

Then there's the top-of-line offering from Valve itself: the ValveIndex, which costs $999 in total for the headset, controllers, motion-tracking base stations, and PC shooter. VR

Half Life: Alyx

. On the one hand, the Index is literally one of the most immersive and seamless VR gaming experiences available on the market. On the other hand, it requires an incredibly powerful PC, and it's worth the price of two Oculus Quests on its own.

Luckily, you don't have to pay a month's rent to watch VR porn clips.

Best Mid-Range VR Porn Headsets

The two main factors of headset for VR porn are screen resolution and comfort, which you can easily accomplish with the

Oculus Quest 2.

The Quest offers a resolution of 1832 x 1920 pixels per eye, which is even bigger than the Oculus Rift S, and the Quest 2 is completely standalone. That means there are no wires involved to use it: just go to Quest's browser and navigate to your favorite VR porn site.

You can even use the Oculus Link to connect your Oculus Quest to your PC and play PC VR games (including, yes, lots of VR porn). The Oculus Quest 2 is also significantly cheaper than its PC VR cousin: the 64GB model starts at $299.

Best Cheap VR Porn Headsets

While $299 is still a high asking price, there are plenty of inexpensive VR headsets available for purposes other than gaming. The predecessor to Oculus Quest, the

Oculus Go

, is a fantastic standalone wireless virtual reality experience in its own right. While the Oculus Go sports a 1280 x 1440 resolution per eye and lacks some of the enhanced VR tracking features of the Oculus Quest, the Oculus Go

can be purchased used for around $150.

For an even lower price, there are plenty of smartphone accessories that turn your iPhone or Android into a portable VR device for $130 or less. The main recommendations include the

Pansonite VR headset

,

MERGE VR setup

and the

Samsung Gear VR

. And for real savings, Android users can always check out

Google Cardboard

, with the official Google setup starting at just $15.

How to Watch VR Porn on Playstation 4

It's possible to connect your PSVR to your PC for VR porn games and videos, and you can even watch VR porn directly from your PS4 console. For the first, you will need the

Trinus PSVR driver

. Meanwhile, VR porn fans watching from their PS4 need to download a third-party app to

enjoy 3D VR content

. Additionally, the PlayStation 4 Pro is a must-have for VR porn, as the 4K-capable console supports higher resolution videos than the standard PS4.

Overall, our headset recommendations can be boiled down to two devices:

If you're broadly interested in watching VR porn along with casual PC games, the Oculus Quest 2 is a must buy.

If you're a die-hard PC gamer interested in VR porn games and not much else, and you're willing to spend a hefty amount of money for the best experience out there, then go with the Valve Index. .

Both options are expensive, but they're the ultimate investments right now, and they sure will be as VR content becomes more advanced.
