There are a number of brands available but the most popular was Oculus. The disturbing fact however is that, believe it or not, a majority of purchasers specifically mentioned they were using the glasses to view porn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 3,000-person study was just completed, surveying users in both the United States and the United Kingdom which came up with the following troubling statistics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The number of female VR porn users almost tripled from 2019 to 2021<\/li><li>Over 83% of VR headset users watched VR porn at least once before<\/li><li>67% of users bought VR headsets exclusively for adult content&nbsp;<\/li><li>71% of men originally purchased a VR headset to watch VR porn content compared to only 9% among women<\/li><li>88% of VR headset users intend to increase their use in the next year and that&#8217;s heavily because of VR porn and live camming shows.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not mentioned in the study, but in a recent webinar, it was mentioned that the market for child porn has skyrocketed since the beginning of COVID-19, and with the popularity of sexting in preteen groups, much of that content finds its way to those producing and selling porn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, that study of VR buyers did not include children or young adults, but by having a VR headset around the house, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you are monitoring usage by any minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certainly many educational benefits associated with using VR glasses, and their popularity is growing for school homework assignments. Just like any other tool though, make sure it&#8217;s safely used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/sht\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Dougs-Bio-8-21-w-divider-dots.jpg\" alt=\"Doug Bardwell bio\" class=\"wp-image-1488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/sht\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Dougs-Bio-8-21-w-divider-dots.jpg 756w, https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/sht\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Dougs-Bio-8-21-w-divider-dots-480x323.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 756px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Santa brought VR Glasses this year, you better be inquisitive how and by whom they are being used.
