Jeffton Banks here with my very first virtual reality movie review! Exciting times we live in, aren’t they? Never in my wildest imagination could I picture 20 years ago strapping a miniature computer to my head to get intimate with myself… but here we are. So what is it like? Well, I’m glad you asked!
Virtual reality in porn isn’t what I’d call life changing (yet). But it is a really cool concept. You don’t instantly feel like the person in the video. If that’s what you were hoping for, I’m sorry, but that just won’t happen. Now it could be different if you had someone else stimulating your body like what’s going on in the video. That would be tough to pull off, but with the right equipment and the right partner, you might get close to that. But, if you have outdoor plumbing and are watching this movie with self-pleasure intent, then using your hand or a toy that you have to physically manipulate will remove the notion that you are the person whose POV the movie comes from. I’m really curious as to how the perspective would change if you had a vulva and were watching a movie where the POV has a penis.
What is the point of virtual reality then if you don’t feel like the dude in the movie? There are a couple real benefits of it that make it totally worth buying and trying. The first is the absolute immersion aspect. You might not feel like the person in the video, but you are there in the room. It is inescapable. With a machine strapped to your head (be it a phone-based VR headset or something like the Oculus, Vive, or Playstation VR) you don’t have the same sorts of distractions that you might experience otherwise. If you’re just watching a regular video on your phone or computer or tablet or TV, it is a part of the room and situation, and can be turned away from. Your attention can be diverted. But when all you can see is the screen no matter where you turn your head, it becomes the focal point. I don’t want to call a boner jam zen, but there is something meditative and calming about knowing as long as you’re strapped in you aren’t going to be snapped out of it. I mean, yeah, something can happen like someone taps you on the shoulder or knocks on your door or something… but if you’ve planned out your VR session, it’s the easiest way of staying distraction-free.
The second real major benefit to VR porn is adjusting the focal point of the porn. Everyone has body parts that they admire more than others. Everyone has a tendency to focus on one part of a woman in a position more than the rest of her. In regular everyday porn, sometimes the camera cuts away to focus on the woman in ways we don’t want in the moment (a close-up of her pussy for a little too long or a cutaway to her face when you’d rather be zeroing in on her tits, for example). In virtual reality, you are the director in a sense. Because the field of vision of the movie is much larger, and the woman in the video is “closer” to you than in a traditional adult video, you can just turn your head and keep your attention on whatever part of the action you’d like to watch. You could go the whole movie focusing just on your “partner’s” face, or stare at her ass any time it’s around no matter what she’s doing. That aspect of it is more pronounced when the action is taking place closer to the camera… and at that point you actually can’t see the entire person and are forced to make a decision on what to look at. But the great part of that is that it’s not fixed; you can look up and down at your discretion, and change your focus whenever you feel like it.
So with that in mind, this is my review of Just Friends from BaDoinkVR and starring the one-and-only Riley Reid. I chose this movie for a couple big reasons. Number one, if anyone could sell that you’re the man pleasing a woman it would be Riley. Number two, if I could pretend to be the man pleasing any woman in adult, Riley is on a very short list for who I’d choose off the top of my head.
The premise of the movie is that you’re chilling in a bedroom with your friend, Riley Reid, getting ready for a date. She is asking you about how she looks when she confesses that before being friends she used to send you signals because she thought you were hot. She asks if you ever fantasized about her and says that the two of you can hook up, just once, and that it wouldn’t affect your friendship.
A dissolve transitions from her working at your belt to her straddling you in her breezy romper and rubbing your already hard dick with her crotch. Despite VR porn being a fairly new creation, Riley has mastered the exact amount of time she should be close up to the camera versus working further back in order to maximize what it is you’re able to look at. She blows your virtual cock, smiling and giggling and shooting you breathtaking looks with her gorgeous green eyes.
There is so much teasing and fluffing going on in the scene (including an awesome bit where she’s blowing you with her ass in your face) that it is cathartic when she finally slips your dick inside of her. There aren’t a whole lot of positions that can be done with this sort of VR rig, so Riley keeps herself mostly to cowgirl and reverse cowgirl. When she’s going reverse, she does us all the pleasure of spreading her cheeks seductively.
She goes back to blowing you briefly before the screen fades to black. It is a bit jarring of a transition, but the payoff is that the camera and “you” have moved, and Riley is now laying on the bed and using her feet on your thighs to propel her back and forth on your dick. Riley has always had some of the best facial expressions in the business, and this video is no exception to that. The missionary admittedly doesn’t last long before she’s back to stroking your cock and blowing you. You finish in her mouth and she shows you that she swallowed. Admittedly I would’ve liked to have seen the cum, but I’m pretty sure “you” didn’t actually cum before the scene was finished.
The scene itself is a tad short… but the quick exposition turns out to be a blessing because I don’t think I could have stayed in a headset for much longer than I was. It’s not entirely uncomfortable, but towards the end of the scene I was beginning to feel the weight of the rig pulling at the front of my head in a way that was a bit distracting.
The video also is not 360 degrees. I don’t know why on earth you’d want to turn around to see a headboard and the wall behind you when someone as beautiful as Riley Reid is slobbering on your knob, so it’s not a big loss. If you turn all the way around, the 180 degree video flips and you’re back to staring at the same exact scene. It’s an interesting work-around as opposed to just having black space, but it is also a little bit disorienting when turning almost to the point of getting to the second screen. This scene, though, is pure boner fuel. You will not be disappointed, and it is a great entry point into the world of virtual porn. It all has me so excited: both for HotMovies’ 400+ other virtual reality titles, and for the future of VR erotica in general.
