Virtual reality is finally an option for porn enthusiasts who frequent Pornhub, as the adult entertainment site has teamed up with BaDoinkVR to launch a virtual reality channel. The virtual reality content on the site can be viewed on Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR and Facebook-owned Oculus Rift.
“At Pornhub it is our duty to provide our global audience with the latest in cutting edge technology,” said Corey Price, Pornhub Vice President, in a statement. “Virtual reality is the next phase in the constantly metamorphosing world of adult entertainment, and will provide users with a mesmeric experience unlike anything they’ve seen before.”
For those who jump on the bandwagon sooner rather than later, the 360-degree adult entertainment will be available for free and will be compatible with Android and iOS mobile devices.
“Pornhub is one of the biggest distribution channels in the world,” BaDoinkVR CEO Todd Glider told Fortune. “The addition of a VR category, and BaDoinkVR’s award-winning content, will trigger increased consumer uptake and inspire more companies in the space to begin offering virtual reality content. It’s a move that lifts all boats.”
“Porn is already mainstream,” said Glider. “It’s a persistent topic of conversation in the media. This deal is most important because it broadens mainstream awareness of virtual reality. VR is still nascent tech. Innovators and early adopters have caught the wave, but this deal ushers in the majority of consumers.”
To promote the new channel, Pornhub is giving 10,000 viewers free Google Cardboard devices.
"We encourage our users to request a free pair of virtual reality goggles and visit Pornhub’s virtual reality section,” said Pornhub vice president Corey Price in a statement. “There, users’ wildest fantasies will come alive as they slip into a world of heightened titillation."
