This Is the Most Popular Headset for Watching VR Porn, Site Reveals

Can you guess the top virtual reality rig for viewing adult content on BaDoinkVR?

BaDoinkVR [NSFW], a leader in the world of adult virtual reality films, recently released stats on its customers' preferred VR headsets during the first quarter of 2017, with Samsung’s Gear VR taking the top spot.

The data comes from viewer behavior trends on the main BaDoinkVR site as well as its specialized cosplay fantasy site VRCosplayX.

The power of free

Comparing the latest statistics with those released for 2016 we can see quite a few changes in how BaDoinkVR’s audience is consuming VR porn.

At the top of the list, at 40%—down slightly from 2016’s 45%—is the aforementioned smartphone-based rig, Samsung’s Gear VR.

Despite this slip, its popularity is clear. While other systems offer greater resolution, such as the Oculus and the HTC Vive—and even the Playstation VR—the Gear VR is often a more appealing option in terms of affordability.

And while it normally costs $129, Samsung also gives it away for free to people who buy the Galaxy S8 orGalaxy S8+ smartphones.

High end making some headway

Together, the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive are the next most used VR headsets. A quarter of VR porn viewers at BaDoinkVR don them, a three-point gain from the previous year.

These two systems are high end and expensive, which suggests owners don’t only use them to play games—and that part of their initial decision to purchase them could have been to view adult entertainment.

Google lags

Google Cardboard comes in at a close third with 23% of users choosing to wear it to enjoy immersive VR videos

However, the more recently released Google’s Daydream, another smartphone-based VR rig, is the least popular, being used by 3% of VR porn viewers.

Playstation losing steam?

The second least popular VR headset is PlayStation VR, at 9%, just one percent lower than it ranked last year. One explanation for its lagging position is people may find it more difficult to watch adult entertainment on the PS4 gaming system.

Granted, these VR porn stats only cover BaDoinkVR viewers and the preferences of folks elsewhere may be quite different. So have your say and share your favorite device for immersing yourself into delectable adult content.

M.Christian loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer he has six novels,12 collections,100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to his name. His non-fiction regularly appears n many sites, but he’s most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of his erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing he can't write about … and brilliantly.”

Reflecting his unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, his stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. His collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of his stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, his fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sextech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—his ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with his friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, he’s lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
