Is there any technology success that can really be attributed to porn? People often cite the adult industry leading to the popularity of video recorders, the VHS format, digital cameras, the internet, online payments, etc, but really porn had a very small part to play in their successes.

The idea that VR will take off because of porn seems ridiculous. VR's primary benefit over screen technology is immersion and interactivity in a scene - yet interactive porn has been a dismal failure.

Immersion in porn is a huge deal. I could see this making dating less attractive for a lot of people and as VR progresses and becomes more and more immersive it will become harder and harder to see or feel the difference between porn and reality, but porn will always be cheaper and easier to get.

BTW don't confuse not being able to see or feel the difference with not knowing the difference.
