Apple Vision Pro, the massive tech company’s foray into the VR headset space that hit stores just a few days ago, is very expensive. It’s an impressive piece of tech (hence the price tag) that you can use for working from home (by virtually pinning windows all over your house—take that, return-to-office mandates!), going in-depth into the hottest VR-capable games like Resident Evil 4, or watching sports games complete with real-time stat updates. But one thing you can’t do with the Apple Vision Pro is watch VR porn, and fans of scintillating smut are not happy about that.

As reported by 404 Media, the VR porn community quickly realized that their favorite kind of content won’t work on the headset. In a Reddit post on the r/oculusnsfw subreddit, one user asked if anyone had “figured out porn on the Vision Pro?” “Dying to get this to work haha,” the post reads. “If anyone has a success story please tell me how.” The top-voted comment doesn’t mince words: “worse than PSVR2. $3500 chastity belt [clown emojis].”

    What? Through what mechanism is apple’s hardware able to detect and filter out pornography? How is this feature not something that can be trivially bypassed?

    I do not believe this claim. I refuse to believe that Apple’s device security is somehow stronger than even the weakest pervert’s will to fap.

      As far as I can tell they aren’t filtering out porn, it’s just that it doesn’t support the more… hemispherical format a lot of the VR porn videos are filmed in.

    Give it time. If there is one thing the porn industry excels at, it’s wide adoption of technology. There will be a format for Vision Pro. Mark my words.
