I predict a future where once again porn is the cutting edge with a cutting edge technology.

porn + vr + smell





Oh god, do we really want to have the smells of sex when watching porn?

On the other hand, I see an opportunity even without tech: porn star perfume collabs: Spray some Gukki Bloom and press play on that video to smell what the star was wearing on the day.

But I guess high-end perfume brands don't want to be associated with actors of the flesh.


No, you want the smell of your ideal partner.

You're getting downvoted, likely for prudish reasons, but in all seriousness it doesn't seem unlikely that you're right.

The porn industry has historically been very quick to adopt new technologies, it's easy to see how this could benefit that industry, so it's a logical enough conclusion to draw. They'll very likely be the first commercial application of this, once viable.


I assume the reasons are more visceral than prudish. I don't think I would want to know what a porno set would smell like.

This is coming from a place of physical discontent, not moral discontent.


It doesnt have to smell like the porno set. They could choose any smell that stimulates arousal.

For some reason this sent my train of thought towards the "people who think their shit doesn't stink" expression.

Is it still shitposting if it actually smells nice?


My brain went the down the same path. For some reason I imagined posting a YouTube clip of me farting, along with a nice scent of rose petals.

I don't think I'm ready for this technology


Movies don't sound like their sets during filming either.

The scene from Torrente comes to mind where the protagonist gives a set of anal beads to a gay guy who then identifies it as ar*e smell, hence it was used. Or smth like that :D.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in fake Internet points.

Prediction: Pi-hole gets a double entendre and becomes more useful than ever.

reminds me of the book "ready player one" in which world-builders would insert terrible smells to troll the minority of VR players with a smell-o-vision device

But will the smell be in 3D?

Just light a candle.
