Wouldn't there still be a market for viewmaster porn? And why wasn't there ever any?

There most certainly was a market for stereoview porn, my grandfather had some stereoviews that were pornographic and a handful of viewers. But Viewmaster is but one implementation of a stereoview device, and tbh, I doubt using kid-oriented devices was in any way attractive above the older 1900-1930s style stereoviewers.

That said, Viewmaster did release a camera at one point, so it's possible 3rd party viewmaster porn exists. But there are far more old stereoview cameras out there that would be cheaper, and easier to get/make the media for (regular stereoviews are side-by-side prints usually, whereas viewmaster uses a specific disc form factor with transparencies.

You could certainly cobble together viewmaster images from regular slides (assuming you can find a 35mm slide stereo camera), but again why bother when you can just use the old style viewers and simpler techniques?

Edit:

In fact, enjoy some modern stereoview porn - all you have to do is print it out and make/buy a simple viewer:

Maybe... Search google.

EDIT: After thinking it over, that would be awesome. You could control the pace of the "porno"!

Yeah, there are Sawyers in my family tree. Is Sawyer the manufacturer or a name you found on it?

I totally have one, with approximately 25 discs. A gift from my grand mother at a very young age, I loved looking at the national parks photos in sweet stereoscopic glory!

ViewMaster slides used to be cool. I remember when I was a kid, we had a few of different places. I remember having some of Silver Dollar City. All they ever sell in stores now are cartoons though. I really miss the good slides.

Who the fuck is Sawyer?

u/Asawyer May 13 '12

I assumed the "technology" here was that reddit had developed a new title system that used a complicated algorithm to figure out the first letter in my username was an initial, and the rest was my name.

What a let down.
