First Look At Virtual Porn Desire

Originally published April 2016

Update January 4, 2018: I don’t like to say that a studio is abandoned if I’m not 100% sure… so, I’m not saying VPD is defunct, but I will say that when I look at their website (no longer available) and Twitter account (now gone), that is the impression I get.

At any rate, we keep these articles for historical purposes. By all means, if they interest you, take a look.

I see their JOIN page still loads. It says they have 38 videos. Considering we first discussed them in April 2016, I’d expect that number to be much higher.

Below is the original article.

Let’s get started

So, today we’ll look at a brand new VR porn studio: Virtual Porn Desire. They’re charging $15 for a month or $90 for a year.

The real question: Do I recommend that you take a month subscription?

The answer: Maybe.

And, I’m sorry, but I can’t give a simple yes or no in this particular case. It depends. And, I elaborate on that below.

If you’re pressed for time, they’ve got at least one free trailer, so have a look for yourself.

Let’s first see how these boys describe themselves…

Virtual Porn Desire In Their Own Words

“A new era of porn is before us, so put on your VR headset … and let us take you on a new kind of journey. Enjoy our sensual and passionate ladies from all over Europe and watch them make love to you in full 180 Stereoscopic 3D video.”

VR Porn Reviewing Scientific Method

I judge the quality of a VR Porn studio’s work based upon three main factors.

There are other things considered, certainly, but if these three things aren’t correct, the work will be subpar.

It’s really that simple…

1. The woman or women.

2. The scaling: do things look correct and proportional?

3. Positioning: of the women and cameras. Close-ups are much-desired. It’s also great to get some variety of sexual positions.

For new VR porn studios, there are other things that I’m examining, also. For example, established studios generally get the 3D depth, sound, general clarity, color, etc. correct.

This, however, often isn’t true with the new guys. So I mention that stuff too if it’s relevant.

Let’s explore more

Virtual Porn Desire’s got some good-looking women. Well, I think they’re pretty fine. I can go for that brunette-slinky sort of Siamese cat kind of gal!

There ain’t no right or wrong with this judgment.

Now, take a look at the VPD gals (link removed because it redirected to a bunch of crooks). You decide for yourself. As for me, I do like them. I like Alexis, Anita and Christen.

Another thing to note: the VPD folks only have 5 videos released thus far.

So, here’s the thing…

This is a new company. And, new companies don’t get everything right. And, it’s not fair to expect perfection.

But, VPD managed to do a number of things correctly.

For instance, the scale ain’t bad. It’s actually pretty good. I’m getting some warp/distortion at the frame’s top. But, the scale-size feels decent.

I watched two videos: Meditation and 2 A.M. VPD definitely needs to pay more attention to the lighting: especially in the movie 2 A.M. This is pretty basic.

Additionally, the color felt a bit off.

The general clarity: could be sharper.

3D effect: this was interesting, because the 3D effect was quite good. Almost too good. I’ve never said that before.

What do I mean by saying the 3D effect was too good?

Yea, this is strange. But, for instance, when the one gal was down doggy, she seemed to be excessively elongated in 3D space. I’ve never really seen that before.

Some file type strangeness: A strange VPD aspect is their lack of separate files for Cardboard, Gear and Oculus. This is unusual. I messaged them about this. The response: the one file works on everything. Interesting.

I watched the movies on a Gear. I had to cycle through the options to make it look right. I’d be curious how these appear to Oculus folks.

Close-ups: definitely not enough close-ups used by VPD. To be fair, I have repeatedly criticized all of the studios for this same point.

Verdict:

So, should you subscribe?

I said it depends.

What does it depend on?

Here’s the thing. If money’s tight… if you got to budget your VR porn… then just go get a sub to VRP: dollar-for-dollar, you ain’t going to beat it.

Now, there are two main factors when it comes to me recommending a subscription:

1. Quality
2. Price

Now, if the quality sucks, I don’t care if it’s free: I ain’t recommending it.

Where things can get tricky is if the quality is pretty good… or decent… or okay. And, it gets even trickier if the quality is decent and the studio shows potential.

Because, then another factor comes into play: namely… Are you the type of person who wants to support an up-and-coming outfit with potential so they can eventually get there?

Do you see what I mean?

Dollar-for-dollar, Virtual Porn Desire ain’t the best deal in town. Their work’s not as good as VRP, BaDoink, Czech or Naughty… and, they don’t have nearly as much material released.

But, if VR porn is going to expand… the truth is… these up-and-coming folks with potential need support.

So, the work I saw from VPD is good enough to be enjoyable. It needs work. Certainly. But, it’s solidly-okay, and it shows a lot of potential.

The question becomes: Do you want to show these guys a little financial support so they can improve?

That’s for you to answer.

All right, let’s talk about what this VR Studio needs to improve

1. Scale: get the top distortion worked out.
2. Color: improve it.
3. Lighting: Improve it.
4. Close-ups: More.
5. File types: get this sorted-out.
6. General image clariy

But, I also don’t want to sound too harsh. I think these fellas are doing great for a brand new outift. And, my gut feeling is that, if they keep going, they might produce some great VRs.

Good luck VPD.
