Leigh Cuen mentions BaDoinkVR in this article from Mic.com. They touch on the BaDoinkVR Virtual Sexology program. How do we define feminist porn? Is it simply porn that is targeting the female audience? While I consider myself a feminist, I wonder if there isn’t a better term for it.

For good or ill–mostly ill I reckon–feminism, as a term, is seen pejoratively. I agree with nearly everything said in Cuen’s article, but the dearth of porn targeting women has everything to do with the realities of commerce–or, better, the perceived realities. At BaDoinkVR, when we create a VR Porn movie from a female POV, our member base, overwhelmingly male, expresses disappointment (and that’s putting it lightly). They’re popular with our few female members, and our male members who watch in tandem with their significant others. So from a practical standpoint, we’re hard-pressed to offer a female POV scene as a dedicated weekly release. We have to offer it in tandem with a second weekly VR Porn release, from the male POV. That naturally doubles costs, and while we’re lucky enough to be profitable at this point, the margin is not gargantuan. Still, I’m not saying it’s a waste of time. I believe that VR porn is ideal for female consumers, owing to its innate ability to immerse, generate a visceral response in viewers.
