Porn tech usage is driven by solving some problem from the previous generation.

Videotape solved the "can't watch film porn at home" problem. Online payments and delivery solved the "need to risk going to the store to buy porn" problem.

What does VR porn solve over just watching standard porn on your monitor/TV?

And because of the resolution limitations, aren't VR headsets actually worse for watching porn than modern 4K monitors?

It's not immersive/interactive compared to the real thing.

Ironically, AI is solving this better than VR did. Many people are in relationships with AI girlfriends. Not many are in relationships with VR waifus.

Well, interactivity was solved by OnlyFans, no? And OnlyFans seems to butcher video quality pretty badly yet it doesn't seem to dissuade people very much.
