Sorry "all girl" isn't your thing. No worries at all. However I would like to clarify something in your comment. The purpose of VR, like video is certainly not limited to one thing. Yanks.com was build on the premise of being the fly on the wall and observing women by themselves and with other women. YanksVR now takes you into the scene as if you were on the bed with them or watching from a very close position while offering all of the 3D effects that VR entails.
In regards to the size of the YanksVR site, we are about average right now in terms of quantity of scenes. Not the biggest and not the smallest, but right in the mix. In terms of the niche, All female and 100% female produced there is only us.
Hope you find what you are looking for and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. It means a lot when a representative from the site responds.
From what I can see, your VR videos are well done. It looks like your intended audience is lesbian (as opposed to a girl-only "view" site like In-The-Crack), correct? I think it would probably clear things up a lot if you just come out and say that. Nothing wrong with that at all. Call it Sapphic VR. You will still get a lot of men and it will be clear that it is girls only sex. (Of course, I'm a guy and I'm pretty dense so it wasn't obvious to me when I made my first comment.)
When it comes to straight sex, I truly believe that using VR to shoot strictly observational scenes is not the most effective use of the medium. You shouldn't shoot a VR of a roller coaster from the ground, you don't create a VR game in the third person, you shouldn't shoot a VR car demo from the street watching the car go by and you shouldn't shoot straight porn VR sex from a chair next to the bed.
That said, I understand that it is incredibly difficult to do sapphic sex in participatory VR because there is no common position or orientation to shoot from. There are a few non-VR POV sites that do it pretty well, but I'm sure there is less gear involved and the actors are often pros. In your case, it would probably interfere with the genuine lovemaking that you are striving for. Your girls are not pros so working around and staying close to a fixed rig would certainly have an adverse impact on your videos. I can appreciate all of that.
As for the price, yes, 30 videos is just about average or maybe just shy of average. If you look at my review history here, you will see that I've joined nearly every VR porn site out there and am constantly joining more. The price for your site is 30-50% higher than any other VR site out there, even the ones that are approaching or exceeding 100 videos and are part of a large mixed network. But I understand. You've got a budget. You've got expenses. You have to determine how to stay solvent, what the market will bear and what your unique niche will support.
Rather than reducing your price universally, may I suggest reaching out to the folks at The Best Porn and working out a discount deal? It will almost certainly get you positive reviews and will help make your site a bigger blip on the VR map while limiting the discount to the most savvy viewers. Please consider that.
I applaud your efforts and truly hope you succeed.

Thanks for the compliments about the videos being well done. That truly means a great deal to us. And I am always happy to respond to someone who takes the time to offer their thoughts about what we do.
In regards to our target audience it is neither male nor female. YanksVR is a brand extension of Yanks.com which we founded in 2002. We have honed the messaging and targeting quite a bit over the last 15 years. Our evolutions have always been data driven which is why we are still here after 15 years. This has led us to us positioning ourselves as a premium 100% female produced website (absolutely true of course) that focuses primarily on authentic female pleasure. If you are a guy or a girl if you enjoy that you will enjoy the site. The orgasms are as real as advertised and many of our girls have expressed a desire to be together before the shoots. It is this experience that we are trying to improve. I wouldn’t want to position it as for women or for lesbian women as that approach would be too narrow.
In regards to your suggestions I understand your viewpoint and will pass on this review to our producers. You are totally correct about the challenges VR presents right now. It is so early and in regards to cameras, rigs, positioning, etc there have been immense challenges.
Your analogy regarding 3rd person viewing however isn’t exactly accurate. If it was voyeur porn would not exist and the gamers making a million dollars a month streaming their games would not exist. I believe you are perhaps, naturally of course, allowing your own tastes to limit the attractiveness of the product to people who enjoy other niches and other experiences. YanksVR is a step in a direction from Yanks that is really early in the game. There is so much potential here. We have some things in the works that I believe would be steps towards what you would consider better use of VR. I do agree that we, and most people, are not optimizing it yet. Which is ok, it is early.
Our site is a higher cost than average. Once again this was data driven based on what we have seen from both Yanks.com and YanksVR. We launched at $30 and raised it to $40 and found that our loyal customer base stuck with us at the very same rate and with the very same loyalty. This allowed us to reinvest in new cameras and up our game. The first of the higher rez content was posted on Feb 1st.
I could also go into some of the details of the much more aggressive marketing approaches that some of the lower priced sites use, however I will keep it civil. You probably don’t see them as much because you are coming across quite technically savvy and probably avoided them without noticing. Most folks will however pay the extra $10 at some point.
Again, your review and thoughts were very interesting to read. You clearly know your stuff and something to know about me is that advice and suggestions tend to sit in the back of my head for a while and spin there.
