Overview:
Virtual sex has long been regarded as an admirable end goal for the intertwining of lust and technology. Supplanting humans, who are often unwilling, unskilled, or just plain unremarkable, with virtual renderings of, well, other humans is making current VR technology the hottest porno ticket around. Many sites and network are now pushing ahead with Virtual Reality programs, some to great success, others to none at all. Basing an entire adult site around VR and VR only, though, that’s a risky proposition. Virtual Taboo doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Created as a showcase of Europe’s finest porno talents, a showcase more immersive and inviting than any other around, Virtual Taboo serves up VR encounters with the likes of Tina Kay, Paulina Soul, and Chloe Lamur. On a stark white background and surrounded by high-res preview images detailing the lusty hardcore encounters, Virtual Taboo’s first impression is a mixed bag: VR is very exciting, as are the models, but the site itself seems like a rush job, a cash grab. Could this be the case? Is Virtual Taboo really worth the $29.99 it asks of its members each month or is it just another paltry attempt to swindle a few extra bucks from frustrated reality-bound viewers?

Pros:
Virtual Taboo’s immersive 3D encounters bring VR tech to Euro hardcore and features some of the continent’s top porno performers in thrilling hookups. Looking deep into the camera lens and uttering something saucy (usually in English), the women then proceed to suck the dicks of their step-brothers and step-dads, fuck another man while his wife sleeps beside them, or a number of other raunchy, risqué activities.

The models stripping, staring lustily, and working their carnal magic for your entertainment include many top Euro stars: thick Latina Canela Skin, blonde hussy Carly Rae, flirty and flexible Carolina Abril, and steamy Spaniard Claudia Bavel - and that’s only the C’s! Although the model roster page needs some work, profiles link to all available scenes clearly and simply.

Tagged with a bunch of tech buzz words - 3D, HD, binaural, 180*, 60 FPS - Virtual Taboo is clearly aiming to cement itself as the forward-thinking, technologically-advanced fapper’s go-to fuck-fest. The videos provided have enough compatibility across various platforms and devices as to pose no major viewing problems. As always, 2D versions of these scenes would be a nice addition, but Virtual Taboo’s powerful 3D impresses.

Updates land at Virtual Taboo’s homepage every three or four days and bring both photo and video content with them. Obviously playing second fiddle here, photo galleries offer 1920px online shots and zipped sets. Video stream in 720p and 960p frames, and download in formats fit for smartphone, GearVR, PlaystationVR, and Oculus Rift, as well desktop viewing with appropriate software.

Cons:
Streams can prove to be a difficult watch. Buffering takes far too long even on a strong connection, the HD and UHD streams carrying a hell of a lot of data to your desktop. Streams can fail to play at all or play only audio, clueing you into what’s going on without letting you see anything at all. Updated streaming videos would really help Virtual Taboo stand out positively.

The bare, bland design of Virtual Taboo isn’t doing the site, its models, or its content any favors. On a stark white background with little in the way of decorations or design elements, the site can feel like a stack of nondescript papers on which you find smutty pics of slutty gals. The text-only model roster is especially disappointing.

The huge file sizes of Virtual Taboo’s downloadable videos will surely prevent many would-be members from hoarding a bunch of thrillingly direct hardcore movies. Scenes easily run past 3 GB, approach 5 GB at times, and will fill your hard drive faster than your growing erection fills your boxers.

Conclusion:
The minefield that is the current state of Virtual Reality porn gets a whole lot worse than Virtual Taboo, but it also gets a whole lot better. Virtual Taboo’s encounters vary from passionate, deeply arousing seductions to lifeless role-play that sees the starring woman struggle to overcome what, to her, must be a pretty weird day at work. Video quality is very high at 2700px and each update, made twice weekly, brings video streams, downloads, and photo content to the growing archive. More than 150 scenes are already here, a commendable effort in a young and hotly contested field like VR, but the relative lack of spice, the absence of some serious fucking erotic heat, keeps Virtual Taboo from being truly attractive to the discerning VR fan.
