A disgruntled nobleman with a whip? On every estate there’s some poor woman whose entire job is to placate His Nibs when he gets like this, and you, dearie, are that woman tonight:
Artwork is from an undated (perhaps early 1960s?) issue of Plush magazine.
I’m not entirely sure what the story is behind this photo from back when Tumblr was interesting, but somehow I feel like it probably involved some seriously bratty behavior and a wooden spoon:
No public whipping in this vintage reenactment photo, but it’s not very hard to imagine:
This is captioned “Barking Fair: The Stocks.” Whether the fair in question was where the reenactment happened or was the event being reenacted is not made clear. Barking itself is said to have a history of fairs and markets dating back to the 12th century.
Since the first VR porn started appearing on my radar back around 2015 or so, I thought it was a pleasure technology with enormous potential and a long way to go. Not to be flippant, but I still feel that way in 2023! Headsets are cheaper, the technology is better, and there’s an enormous library of virtual reality entertainment to sample these days. But there’s still a huge gap between present offerings and our most amazing dreams of what this technology certainly will deliver in a few more years.
When I first started writing about virtual reality porn, it was all very avant-garde and experimental. Nobody knew what they were doing, and it was hard to find out what was happening on the cutting edge of the tech. Fast forward seven years, and now it’s as easy as checking a good list of VR pornsites and related VR resources (such as recommended headsets and such). Which only goes to show that if you’re patient in tech, everything gets easier!
A good resource list is especially useful given that everything ever published in the whole history of VR porn is still offered somewhere. Sorting through the junkiest old stuff to find the best of current offerings gets harder every year. Curated link lists were the cream of the open web a long time ago, and as junky AI output devours search engine results at an accelerating pace, it’s beginning to look like they’re also the open web’s future. This is nowhere more true than in the VR porn space.
You may think I’m stretching a metaphor here, but if you get a more pleasurable VR experience by relying on a link list compiled by actual humans, it’s perhaps no surprise that the limitations of VR as sexual technology recede most quickly when you have another friendly person in the room or in the bed with you and your headset. Promised improvements in teledildonics, force feedback, networked pocket sexbots, and not-invented-yet computer-mediated tactile experiences are surely on the way, but meanwhile, having a warm human to touch you while the computer fills your head with the wildest erotic visions? It’s a guaranteed path to pleasure.
