What's the next big thing for porn?

How far can smut be pushed before we run out of ideas? The biggest hurdle for porn has always been technology and a lack of interest in those kinks that would push everything in a certain direction. You can say we’ve hit the first big wall of porn. We got everything and everything, from the same old basic toys, electric and AI-powered ones, stimulants, all sorts of getups and tools, and then there is an amazing VR world that has taken the industry by storm. Even in the niche sector, we hadn’t had any big hitters since the boom of Trans and feminist porn, and before that, it was reality porn.  What’s coming after this? Safe to say the biggest happenings in porn will revolve around VR and AI sex toys for a lot longer. VR means immersion, so let’s see how that will look on the ground floor!

The Hurdle of Long Distance - Bridged And Made Erotic

You might not have thought of this at first, but in the 21st century, we’ve seen an explosion of LDR couples, especially because the internet has allowed unlimited connection to everyone around the globe. VR and toys that pair with VR didn’t start off with the intention of connecting people that way, but countless people have figured out the niftiness of it. Already, you can see the rise of online long-distance hookup culture, so imagine the cam girls setting up the feature to allow their viewers that level of connection? It would take a very brave cam girl for that, but no doubt the fans will be swarming her for that. Aside from just regular avenues of porn, there’s little doubt that the escort industry will pick up on the possibilities this brings to the surface.

Improving The Hands-Free And Noise Features

Right now, many sex toys that are associated with VR or sensation simulation require hands or are on the louder side. You don’t want to hear the buzzing of the motor while you hear your partner moan, right? Having your hands free also means you can use them for other activities, which can depend on your preferences. So, on one hand, you get better immersion with a quieter motor, and on the other, you get to be liberated from gripping the machine. There’s a lot to love about the idea, and both play perfectly with VR. Already, quiet and hands-free toys are marketing these features as one of the biggest selling points. Aside from just staying in place, hands-free toys allow you to play with more than one toy, which opens up room for interesting sex combos and sensations that would otherwise be cumbersome.

Voice Activation Brings Better Kinks

Have you ever heard of an Alexa or other AI house assistant activating just from hearing its name on the TV? This is a feature, not a bug, at least in porn. Voice-activated toys are easier to use in bed and help out disabled kinksters, but more importantly, better voice and command recognition can be used for cam shows and JOI clips. During cam streams, the performer can simply voice out preset commands and activate toys from the audience to join her in the play. This works great for BDSM and dominant streamers who host a submissive audience. The effect can be similar for JOI clips, where the actress gives instructions and orders on how you should pleasure yourself. Having a recommendation for a toy and voice command settings would greatly immerse the viewer. Of course, most people wear headphones when they watch porn, so there may be more innovations here.

The Rise Of 8K UHD And More

8K UHD is currently the greatest resolution our technology can capture, and we are steadily reaching a point where our eyes can’t tell a difference with higher resolutions. 8K UHD has been locked behind VR because it’s the best resolution for viewing that offers perfect clarity and almost no pixilation or “grain” in the video. But that doesn’t mean 2D porn can’t reach the same heights. Truth is, it’s very possible to upload such films, and some sites invest in it as a default. We can certainly expect to see more cases of sites going with 8K for topmost quality, but for now, the standard of greatness is 4K UHD, which is pretty satisfactory. As 8K pushes on, Full HD will slowly fade out for 4K, and so we can look toward a porn landscape with stunning visuals!

The Rise Of Faceless VR Pornstars

There is no proof of this yet, aside from fringe cases in some very isolated niche kink communities, but the potential for faceless pornstars is there. VR offers us the ability to enter all sorts of digital worlds, and we can also wear countless avatars. Many users find the 3D and 2D anime girls on the screen to be very hot. But well, animations are costly, but motion tracking is a one-time investment into the rig. With all of these elements and the factors we mentioned before, it’s entirely possible for actresses and actors to hit the virtual spaces and host faceless sex events. We can pretty much expect some company to catch wind of it, and we might get an advent of STurbers (as opposed to classic VTubers). This novelty is still too small to catch on, but the potential is there.

The Era Of Technology Is Still Manspreading

VR and AI sex toys are all very new additions to the adult industry, as opposed to literal centuries of progress we’ve had with the standard porno. The shift from pornographic drawings to videotapes and now VR was rapid! Although the technology has developed to the point where VR has blossomed, there haven’t been enough times for the kink communities to evolve and become mainstream enough for the wider porn world to catch on. It’s growing pains, but that’s exactly what makes you a pioneer of porn. Your creativity, ideas, and exploration will influence how porn develops in the future. The industry pleases the existing audience, so become one that’s worth catering to!
