I'm going to wait until headset prices drop some more.
I've seen one 3D movie a few years ago, was not impressed with the special effects of 3D, and the glasses gave me a headache.
So I will be a late comer to VR porn.

I'm interested in VR porn but unless the prices drop substantially on headsets it will be just another tech toy I cannot afford.

I can tell you that VR has almost no similarity to 3D movies. It's way better! 3D movies have a low frame rate, and the stereoscopic effect feels gimmicky. VR is not that way. It's 3D yes, but 3D in the way your natural vision is. It feels much more natural.

I bought a VR headset (HTC Vive) to play games over a year ago, but the gaming environment is still in a developmental stage...like the early days of apps for iPhones. I probably use the thing about 50% for VR porn, I've signed up to (and reviewed) most of the VR porn sites, I have a couple of annual subscriptions to get the weekly VR videos and I have about 5 terabytes of VR porn (just checked...waw!). It is completley immersive and very entertaining. I think Onyx and I are the flagbearers for VR porn here on PU and between us, we cover most of the VR sites and have slightly different perspectives.
If you are VR curious, I strongly recommend that you buy a cheap $20 cardboard or plastic headset for your smart phone and grab a free VR video from any one of a multitude of sites. This will not reflect the video quality of VR, but it will give you a pretty good idea of what it is like.

I'm told the Samsung Gear VR is quite good for people who want to use a phone to power everything. They don't really cost that much (assuming you already have a Galaxy Phone) & you are wireless which is nice.

I think you're right. I could probably start my reviews with "Dear Skippy".

I'm interested in VR but only when it pertains to computer games. I have no current desire to watch VR porn.

Let me see if I can explain the reasons why I am interested in VR computer games but not in VR porn. I think that VR computer games are able to use the VR technology to allow for a more immersive feel to players by allowing them to see all the action around them and because computer games are in real time then those various actions do affect game play but unless I have significantly misread VR porn than all you can do in VR porn is see what the cameras shot and therefore while it may be interesting to look around. All of the action is still happening in front of the user. It's still a POV scene with the user playing the part of the male performer in the scene. The user can't move around to see the action from different angles. At least not unless that is what the producer did with his 360° cameras.
That said the use of VR gear in computer games can often be more of a distraction than anything else because while you get a more immersive feel. Your brain still knows that you are wearing bulky head gear and I wear glasses so that is another pain to consider.

So you are basically correct, but don't have the hands on experience to really understand what that all feels like in practice. I've tried VR gaming and porn quite a bit. And gaming is significantly behind porn in terms of user experience right now. It's actually fairly disappointing to me right now. The best experience in VR gaming is maybe a space shooter. Most other things will likely make you sick or bore you to death. But even the best games are really hurt by the current resolution.
Porn works much better because everything can happen much closer. You don't need to see 30 meters out. It also doesn't require the processing power to render. It's true, you don't move in a VR video (Just look around) but this is not so limiting as you might think. You really need to try it to understand. Maybe think of a lap dance, or having sex. You don't really need to be walking around to do those things. Being able to look around is fine. I can 99% promise that anyone who tries a decent VR Porn scene will be very impressed. It's not an experience you can really convey in words. But as an example, you know the feeling of when someone is in your personal space? A VR video can give you that feeling. Regular video simply can't.
I believe the "Oculus GO" will be out early 2018 as a standalone unit for $199. Hopefully that will allow some more people to try for themselves.

I suspected space shooter might be best kind of games to play with VR Gear but the expenditure and ultimately limited use are why I have never gone beyond the curiosity phase.
Unless I am way off than all you currently have in lieu of VR porn is POV style porn with the viewer being placed in the role of the male performer. While I am more than willing to believe you that this is a better use of VR gear than computer games and I'm even willing to concede that it must make the viewer feel a lot more invested in the on screen action. I can't help but point out that it is still POV porn where you can only see what the male performer could see and therefore looking behind you may be fun the few times you do it. The action will still be in front of the viewer.

I think you may misunderstand the appeal of VR porn. The appeal isn't that you can look around the room. The appeal is that when done right, it feels like you are there in the room, with this person right in front or on top of you.
It produces a sense of presence like you get when you are in front of an actual person. Consequently you get a sense of what it is like to be right in front of these porn stars in a way you simply can't through any other medium other than real life.

Considering I have subscriptions that provide such content and I don't have such device.. I feel like I'm missing something.
