Nah, VR porn is just getting started and that catalog is tiny. The Adult industry isn't going anywhere.

Ran into an article right after Google released Cardboard, where some students had made their own VR porn using a pair of Gopros as an experiment. They claimed that even with such a simple setup the result made them find traditional porn boring.

I know a couple people who have VR setups. There is, supposedly, a game where you have to kill a cartoon character, then cut it up to get a key. My friends are both serious gamers and have killed thousands up close (and literally billions from a distance), but they said that act made them feel really bad.
Here is a gamer talking about VR Grand Theft Auto (http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2015/04/19/grand-theft-auto-v-i...), with the same point: the emotional level is way, way more intense in VR, even crappy VR, than in normal games.
If we assume the same is the case for VR porn, I can see why the porn they made was so much more intense.

The porn industry is also often at the forefront of innovation. They've likely played a huge part in the recent advancements in VR/AR.

Back when I was doing my degree, the majority of the internet was still porn. This was approx 13 years ago. Porn will be OK.

Now that we're coming back up the other side of the uncanny valley, we might still see a diminishing of human actors. Given that VR/AR is supposed to be about immersion, it is going to be hard for human actors to provide this.

We will see different human actors: movies where you can put your (or, heaven forbid, that of your ex; people won’t even need to have any explicit imagery for revenge porn.) face, birth marks, tattoos, etc. on an actor of your choice.
