The reason that Met Art level aren't doing VR is they feel it adds nothing to their bottom line. Once you take on the Playboy end of porn you compete with other established Playboy level sites for their surfers money.
Hoping in the future to have enough money to up your game isn't going to work.
Are you currently working as a full time photographer specialising in Playboy type material or working as a manager in an unrelated business? Because the other Playboy level sites have full time photographers working for them and have the money to spend on VR equipment and models.
Sites offering VR have full time photographers offering surfers what they want. So offering them only VR Playboy level isn't going to find a large audience. Even if all the girls, locations, make up, lingerie etc were Playboy level. Which this is

That's an interesting (and depressing lol) perspective.
I work 40 hours a week as a manager in an unrelated business and another 30 hours as a photographers, for which about 80% is overhead, so not 30 billable hours. Currently I'm making about 15K a year in revenue as a photographer. If that I could just earn 500 - 1000 dollar / month with my website, I could cover future expenses and still save some money. So I'm not in it to go do this full time, it's just a project to me. Currently I work low risk, so if it doesn't work out, it's not "the" worst ... but still, I'm investing a LOT of time and energy into this, so I do hope this will take off. :-)
To be clear, when I talk about "Playboy level", I don't mean their style, I'm more talking about the fact that their models don't do hardcore porn. Maybe comparing my site to suicidegirls (and I'm not comparing it in any way in terms of size or professionalism) is a better analogy. They are doing mainly photography, softcore and have been succesful because of a niche. I was hoping to find my own niche as a photographer, something nobody else is doing at the moment. But yeah ... there might be a reason why nobody is doing it. haha
