VR is a fad, just like 3D. Whenever a human being has to wear adaptive equipment to experience something it will always be a niche. Do 3D movies in Imax make money? Sure - enough to keep filming in 3D BUT not enough to eliminate 'traditional' cinema. The same will be true with porn.

Let's face it: jerking off to the average person takes a few minutes and they are not that picky. If you are wearing a brick on your head chances are you're more of a porn addict than the average user.

At best VR is an additional revenue stream. It will never be THE revenue stream (for most companies).
No one is addressing the elephant in the room.

3d movies took off and are now normal. 3D porn died a death. Was putting on a pair of spectacles that much of a bother?

Until VR upsells from free tubes it's no more than a better hook to catch a fish that would have bitten anyway.
