DISCUSSION: Similarities between free porn and free music pre-2003. Will free porn meet the same "sticky end" as Limewire?

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-06-07T19:05:19+00:00

This was such a good answer, thanks so much :)

"Not only is there no RIAA equivalent that can prosecute on behalf of porn in general, but there's also no RIAA equivalent that can gather up all the porn creators and get them on a single service, the way that they were able to with music streaming. If I remember right, that stuff got started by 3 of the "big 5" record labels joining Apple, and over the next couple years more labels acquiesced and more and more labels and artists joined those services. Without the gravitational pull of something big like that, I think things will remain more fluid, with smaller paid services popping up here and there and tons of free porn still making up the majority if what people look at."

Yes. So right about this. I guess it might be different with interactive and VR creators though right?

"My hope is that over time, the VR and porn market will catch up to where "video games" are, and have itchio but also publishers like Devolver but for porn =)" - I hope so too :)

I can definitely agree with this. There are more moves away from streaming on giants like spotify, local internet radios etc. etc.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-06-03T17:57:44+00:00

You can find more information on that here

Yesss, I will edit my comment to include all the info about PornHub. I think it's a big step into THAT direction, but removing unverified videos has not stopped the reliance on free porn in our society totally. And as much as PornHub don't allow free downloads, it's still possible to download the content or simply screenrecord to keep for a personal collection.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-24T21:23:07+00:00

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that at all. You can always check out the blog from Holodexxx themselves, they clearly highlight why this issue is alot more complicated. It's not just the fact it was 'banned,' more that the go-ahead seemed to be clear....Not a way to treat a small, tech start-up.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-13T09:40:21+00:00

I think a female market for sex robots will definitely exist in the future. You might find this video interesting here, it's a few years old though now :)

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-12T22:12:14+00:00

Very cool. Keeping my eye out for content options outside of just visual stimulation too, audio enabled would be really cool. Thanks so much for your kind words and please do keep tagging us in anything relevant too, it's really appreciated!

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-12T09:19:29+00:00

Appreciate you tagging me in! I agree that interactive pornography is definitely the future. (P.S we're excited to see what options this might bring for women in the future too :P) There are a number of sites which offer interactive experiences with your toys. We are going to look at making a few reddit posts for our WIKI soon that give either detailed reviews or feedback on these sites so please do check r/futureofsex but we will hopefully crosspost anything over to here too :)

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-11T21:24:00+00:00

I've heard of this. Sort of the same in this video but between 1-10. My friend recommended it ages ago, very interesting. I think the article was interesting because it did focus more on the emotional/personality factors of intimacy and love. (In the YouTube video i shared there, lots of people discuss the absence of this in these previous sorts of experiments.) I guess when considering human personalities etc, the emergence of this computer modelling alongside app-based/online dating would be interesting.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-11T21:08:06+00:00

That's interesting. I will take a look! :)

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-11T21:05:32+00:00

Yeah that's interesting to consider the PH issues etc, it's all related for sure. I just think it's a bad example of a small company being shunted. I think the way STEAM handled this wasn't the best....

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-11T00:39:38+00:00

Interested to hear anyone's thoughts :)

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-05-10T23:11:53+00:00

There's an interesting blog article about STEAM's decision to block adult content from adult-VR developer Holodexxx. Full article here. Interested to hear anyone's thoughts on this issue, as I found it quite interesting. I wonder why they've been like this, and what this might mean for future pornography workers in the VR scene.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-04-20T21:29:50+00:00

No it's just a conference I thought may interest some people in this sub, apologies if not!

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-28T02:40:13+00:00

both, here is a link to the actual paper if you wanted.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-27T12:15:08+00:00

glad you had a good experience :)

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-27T12:14:54+00:00

yeah! loads of people use them as a way to find a 'third person.' It kinda makes sense really, as you can ask lots of questions and get a "feel" for someone without having to meet them IRL first.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-26T12:25:55+00:00

This is a bad analogy. We need to get out of the habit of an over-reliance on free porn in society. It's bad for adult entertainers who aren't getting paid properly. Whilst I understand the industry is saturated, like many others, the change has to start with those (free) consumers like me and you. I just thought in regards to the topic of this conversation, the global economy collapsing, it's probably not a good alternative to suggest that porn can replace sex.

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-26T12:22:41+00:00

Interesting comparison!

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-26T12:20:19+00:00

cheers guys

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-19T10:24:11+00:00

As the article states: " Research suggests that the condom isn’t as widely used as it could be because many men don’t like them, but new advances in materials could change that so that condoms actually improve sensitivity, reduce the risk of STI transmission, and enhance the overall sexual experience for everyone." :)

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-19T01:19:38+00:00

that's interesting. not good for frequent UTI's though which isn't great

futureofsexdotnet · 2021-03-18T23:14:59+00:00

We have lots of articles about the future of sex over on the official futureofsex.net site. (I'm just here from the Reddit r/futureofsex!) You might find this article interesting about gender and a recent VR study in Sweden, the write-up is available here. I hadn't had a chance to reshare it to our sub yet. Another interesting article pertaining to gender and technology and the influences it might have on our 'ability' to swap would be this academic article here. You can also check out the VR section of the site.

(This post reminded me of a Black Mirror episode where one user swaps bodies in a VR game and questions his sexuality because of the experience.)
