The first thing people thought of when VR became a big thing was how great porn would be with that kind of technology. The erotic videos become much more intimate and intense, allowing for much more enjoyable "alone time". Porn companies everywhere have been trying to figure out how they can make the experience more pleasurable while making a massive wad of cash in the process.We've gotten everything from sex toys that do "the deed" for you to robots built with artificial intelligence to suit your needs. We thought we'd seen just about everything, but we were completely wrong!
A new device will soon come to market that allows you to smell the porn you're watching, move out of the way 4D scratch and sniff movies! Although the odors of sex may not sound super appealing to most, the device will allow for a number of scents other than the smell many associate with sex. The smells can go from really appealing smells like a nice perfume or a tropical beach or something more… "taboo". The device is similar to a gas mask, you place it under your VR goggles (it seems it'll only work with smartphones at the moment) and connect it to the Bluetooth setting on your phone.
The idea is to make the experience more immersive and it'll be used with cam websites where users can livestream themselves doing whatever helps get viewers off. Cam star Victoria Ryan spoke about the demand for a product like this with Huffington Post.
“There are a lot of guys who watch my shows who tell me, ‘God, I wish I could smell you,’” she told HuffPost. “And some will drop $50 just to buy my panties.”
“I wanted to incorporate something that smelled as close to me as possible,” she said. “I do a lot of beach and pool shows so I wanted to have the smell of salt water, sunscreen, maybe a chlorine smell or coconut tanning oil.”
She went on to explain how she wanted to choose something similar to how she smells in person and how she imagines it may change as time goes on.
“I sort of wanted a fruity musky scent that would blend with a flowery perfume,” she said. “I imagine I will want to change that smell when I hit MILF status.”
Smell researcher (yes, that's a real profession apparently) Dr. Alan Hirsch recommended some smells for performers to try based on what really gets the juices flowing in men.
“A lavender/pumpkin scent is the one that gets men most aroused, followed by a combination of donuts and black licorice,” Hirsch told HuffPost. “Some odors enhance empathy such as eucalyptus, menthol or camphor. A performer might want to use these to arouse sympathy.”
The "OhRoma", as it's being called, began taking pre-orders at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada this week. The product is expected to launch in roughly three months at the price of $59.99 with replacement canisters costing $29.99. Users will have to switch canisters out like batteries to refill whatever gasses or juices produce the smells.
Funnily enough, at Gamescom 2016, Ubisoft let users try on a VR fart headset for their upcoming game South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Maybe Ubisoft will create some sort of flatulence DLC for the OhRoma!
