What’s New in Porn?
HD, 3D, IPTV – you already got it! What’s the next big new thing in porn gonna be?
A high-speed connection enables us to watch HD porn on the internet.
The porn industry is renowned for its resourcefulness when it comes to adapting to technological novelties. Movie production, internet porn, special DVDs where you can switch between different camera angles… Everything that's new has been new in porn first. Internet porn 1.0 has brought us x-rated pics and clips, while generation 2.0 has introduced us to networking and pornographic video sharing sites modeled after Youtube, which the users can “design” themselves. So what’s the next big new thing in porn gonna be?
HD porn
The adult movie producers have switched to HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs years ago. Yet, the sales of HD porn movies have been falling for quite some time now. But this can also be attributed to the mass production of HD porn. Still, high-definition porn DVDs and Blu-rays will generate a lot of profit in the years to come, but as Bill Gates said, HD DVDs and Blu-rays will possibly be the last disc shaped media to feature digital content before they’ll be replaced by portable data carriers and USB devices. So, the next new thing in porn will probably be linked to the video-on-demand system. This particular technology still waits for its breakthrough. It demands a wide bandwidth and a very high-speed internet connection. Also, certain technological requirements have to be met for the video-on-demand system to work properly, and it costs a bit more money too. Before this new thing in porn catches flight, people have to settle for HD adult television service providers, such as Hustler.

When free pornographic video sharing sites became the new thing in porn, they caused a huge panic within the porn industry. It turned out that their effect on the sales of professionally produced porn movies was minute, since true porn aficionados still prefer to watch beautiful people doing it in a quality setting. Still, the porn industry tries to do away with porn piracy using all means possible, but has had only moderate success.
3D porn
3D technology was introduced to porn with special DVDs, where the user can choose between different camera angles to view a scene. More and more companies are developing promising ways of introducing 3D technology as their own new thing in porn, but the movies they produce still have to be watched with 3D goggles for a great visual experience. And the average user still hasn’t embraced this fact. The breakthrough may be achieved with the help of an iPhone application that apparently enables users to record and watch clips in 3D format normally, without additional equipment. Since technology keeps on evolving at a breathtaking pace, we can also expect holographic movies to once become the big new thing in porn.
The virtual hole is a neat new thing in porn and a huge technological breakthrough, but a rather lukewarm replacement for the real thing.
Virtual sex
In 2008, a new thing in porn called the virtual hole was introduced to the market. By using it, you’re supposed to be actually able to touch and feel what you’re seeing on the screen. It works like a vibrating joy stick used to play computer games with. You just stick your penis into the vagina simulator and enjoy the vibrations and the squeezing caused by the resilient inner bands, according to what goes on the screen. The device is connected and powered over an USB connector, so your schlong can be warmed and lubed along the way. But the visual hole only works with porn movies of the appropriate format. There is also a device for women called the virtual stick. Well, it’s an interesting piece of technology, but it hasn’t really convinced us.
IPTV porn
Many production companies think that the new thing that’s going to be big in porn is the so-called Internet Protocol television format or IPTV. Through IPTV, your TV will act as a computer and an internet browser at once. You’ll be able to access any website you’ll want to and be able to choose from thousands and thousands of porn movies in exchange for a small monthly fee. All movies will be broadcast in HD and you won't have to upload them in advance. All you'll have to do is make yourself comfortable, grab the remote with one hand, and put the other wherever it suits you most.
