Most of the top VR porn sites offer lifetime memberships, along with annual and monthly subscriptions. With a lifetime membership, you never have to pay again, and have full access forever, so long as the site remains online. Most VR porn fans who join a site will opt for a subscription, rather than a lifetime membership. This makes sense for some, who can’t afford more than a few months membership, let alone lifetime, and who just want to download as many videos from as site as they can. But would a more serious VR porn fan, or somebody with a little more money to spend, be better off choosing the lifetime option, even though it can seem very pricey?
Lifetime VS Annual/Membership – A Cost/Value Analysis
One way of answering the question is to look at the cost of a lifetime membership and compare it to the cost of an annual or monthly membership. How many months or years would you need to be a subscriber, to spend as much as you would on the lifetime membership? For example, if site X offers an annual subscription at $99, and a lifetime membership costs $199, then you would need to renew your subscription just twice to have paid more than you would have if you had originally chosen a lifetime membership.
As well as giving an idea of the value of lifetime memberships in general, it’s useful to do this to compare which of the top VR porn sites have the best value lifetime membership (in relation to their subscription prices). This can vary quite a lot, but lifetime membership is usually 2 – 3 x the cost of an annual membership (and if you are thinking of a lifetime, you would probably choose annual rather than monthly). So BadoinkVR offers an annual subscription at $99, and a lifetime membership at $299, which is 3 x yearly. On the other hand, VR Bangers offers annual membership at the same ($99), but their lifetime membership is $250, meaning it is only 2.5 x times the cost of a year’s subscription.
So the two most important questions you need to ask when considering a lifetime memberhip to a VR porn site are 1/ Am I likely to remain a member for longer than x months if I subscribe? (matching the total cost of the lifetime offer), and 2/ Will the site still be around, and still be releasing the same quantity and quality of videos as at present?
As somebody who has promoted VR porn sites for a decade, I have referred subscribers who joined sites such as VirtualRealPorn and Naughty America nearly ten years ago still paying each month for their subscription. If only they had joined for life from the beginning, they would have literally saved hundreds of dollars. Unsurprisingly, VR porn fans who purchase annual memberships are most likely to renew them, year after year. If you are ready to commit to a site for a year, then there is a very good chance that you will renew your subscription, and end up paying considerably more than you would have done if you had taken the plunge and opted for lifetime. And even if you do cancel your membership, you may join again in the future.
Specific Issues With VR Porn Sites
Although these cost, risk, and value considerations apply to porn sites in general, there are some things to consider specifically with VR porn sites. Firstly, VR porn is rather unique in that it likely will get radically better in the future. While a 2D porn site might upgrade the resolution of their videos every decade or so, VR porn has hugely more room for improvement. In the last several years, for example, we have not just seen the resolution of VR porn videos improve, but innovations such as passthrough porn introduced, and the increasing ease and sophistication of ‘scripts’ that allow you to ‘feel the action’ via certain sex toys. We can expect CGI VR porn and VR porn games to vastly improve over the next decade, and ‘spatial’ VR porn and similar to be more common. All this will be helped along by the rapid advances in AI. And of course, the viewing experience will be improved with better headsets. None of this really applies to conventional porn sites. A site like VirtualRealPorn could be offering a photorealistic, tactile adult metaverse complete with AI characters that are indistinguishable from real people, experienced through lightweight VR/AR glasses, in just a decade. And if you purchase a lifetime membership now, you wont have to pay a thing to access it when it happens.
It does also have to be said though, that the greater variety of technical issues involved in experiencing VR porn, does give a VR porn site more scope to radically degrade the value of a membership, as well as to improve it. For example, a site could stop offering the ability to stream their videos using a popular Third Party app, and instead force members to use their own native app. VR Bangers did this recently, when they made it more difficult to stream using the widely acclaimed heresphere app, and instead left their own native ‘playa’ app as the only choice, a move that was very unpopular among many of their members.
On the other hand, although I think this is unlikely, it is possible that VR porn could just dwindle away and die, just as 3D stereo porn did over a decade ago. Again, this is very unlikely. VR headset adoption has been in a bit of a trough for the last few years, and yet none of the major VR porn studios and sites have folded, or even stopped releasing new material. Now with the entry of Apple into the VR/AR headset market, and with the advances in VR games (as well as VR porn) that AI will bring, I have confidence that we are in for years and decades of steady mainstream VR adoption.
One other thing is worth mentioning, and that is that a VR porn site can ‘take you for granted’ when you have become a lifetime member, as you are not going to pay again. This could lead to your voice not being heard when it comes to your requests for certain content or scenes to be made, for example, or it could even lead to poor or non-existant customer support in general. This is also more of an issue with VR sites than regular porn sites, because of their greater technical issues.
