Japanese Company Finds Success With VR Porn Booths

TOKYO — An adult entertainment company called Soft On Demand has found a way to cash in on immersive erotic content, and it’s doing so the old-fashioned way — inside porn booths.

News of Soft On Demand’s new-found success was published today in The Sun. The company, which started running the booths in early 2017, offers virtual reality porn booths located in Tokyo's famed Akihabara district in the Chiyoda ward, an area known for anime culture and seedy stores.

Soft On Demand got its start in adult entertainment with its website, which continues offering explicit content, including VR porn scenes.

"SOD, as it turns out, is essentially the basement of a sex shop that contains a handful of booths where clientele can lock themselves away with a computer, VR headset and a literal wall-mounted tissue dispenser," according to Charlie Forrest, a blogger who is quoted in The Sun story and shared a photo of one of the booths (as seen above). "And, yes, you might be right, and we didn’t ask, but we think that’s a vacuum cleaner in the picture too.

Forrest, who wrote about his experiences looking for lust in Tokyo, said the VR porn booths charge about $13 for an hour-long XXX session. The Sun called this “arguably a great deal.”

"Space is a valuable commodity, but it would seem that in Tokyo at least, so too is the privacy to masturbate," Forrest said.

The Sun said that VR porn has a magnetic attraction to many.

“In 2016, the country's first VR porn festival had to be shut down — because it was too popular,” the Sun wrote.
