The style, pacing, and visuals of Japanese adult video (JAV) have long been a standard unto themselves. Fans of JAV have come to expect a certain level of storytelling from scenes and movies, often evolving into long, dramatic plots that can be every bit as engrossing as their mainstream counterparts.  It is worth noting the large number of such films, repeating well-known games and using cosplay, to bring the game characters to life.

VR JAV videos take that same high bar of storytelling and bring the format into a medium that’s more interactive, more engrossing, and more immersive than ever before. Whether you’re just casually curious, looking to spice up your love life, or already a fan of Japanese adult entertainment, Japanese Adult Videos in virtual reality are sure to be worth checking out.

A Unique Form of Adult Entertainment

Japan has a long and rich history, and their cultural take on adult entertainment has its own equally unique history, too. The history of JAV is intertwined closely with the story of censorship in Japan. Western viewers are familiar with, and often puzzled by, the pixelated naughty bits that have come to be synonymous with the genre. Pornography is strictly defined within Japanese law, and the resulting censorship has had an unintentional side effect: Japanese adult video producers have had to create stimulation from story and the nature of the acts of screen, moreso than just the visual stimulation. Some people are understandably frustrated with pixelating the parts that they came to see, but for fans of JAV it just doesn’t matter all that much. They’re here for the storytelling, the intrigue, and the dramatic action with a sizzling culmination.

The Japanese have long been comfortable with sex and sexuality, too. It’s one of the countries where you’ll still find adult magazines on the shelf in the corner of a convenience store, and most major retailers still include adult video, adult book, and even adult video game sections. And rather famously, Japanese nerds (“Otaku”) have created a market of weird and wonderful props, toys, and accessories that show off some of their favorite girls (both real and animated).

The Format Wars and SLR 

Adult entertainment has its own intertwined history with technology. In the 1980s, it was the rapidly growing adult entertainment sector in California that largely determined the outcome of VHS vs. Betamax, and the availability of Japanese Adult Videos on VHS actually had the same effect within Japan. The same is true for DVD adoption (remember multiple viewing angles on early DVD players? Just who did you think that feature was for, anyway?)

Now, fans all over the world can have close encounters with their favorite JAV idols thanks to sites like SexLikeReal that are bringing VR porn to the masses, and with it, one of the largest libraries of Japanese Adult Videos anywhere in the world. This isn’t your father’s adult site – SexLikeReal is a professional operation with a social conscience, and they’re on a mission not just to bring a fun adult product to the market, but to push virtual reality headsets into more and more hands. And since they’ve also opened up their own filming studio, they’re able to combine their technical knowledge of virtual reality streaming from the very beginning of the creative response, creating their own unique adult content as well to complement their well-rounded library culled from around the world.

A Controversial Choice

 The adult industry, including JAV, is no stranger to controversy. Some have accused Japanese filmmakers of promoting content that goes too far, while others have said these consensually made videos are a healthy form of sexual expression. Wherever you stand on the debate, it’s never been easier to come experience this thrilling and immersive experience, or to explore the boundaries of where the sex tech industry is going in the coming years. Virtual reality is coming to the masses and it’s going to change the world!
