Facebook-owned virtual reality headset company ascertained that they would not support sex in their line of head gears to maintain a family-friendly branding.

Oculus told Business Insider that pornographic content would be prohibited at the Oculus Store.

"Oculus only distributes developer content that meets their terms of service which forbid pornographic content from being a part of the Oculus Store," a spokesman told Business Insider.

With the aim of transforming the gaming, media, and entertainment industries, the Oculus team developed a VR kit that would take users to a dream world filled with riveting content seen through an advanced VR rift designed for maximum, immersive virtual reality experience. The team is comprised of passionate gamers, developers, and engineers that continue to deconstruct and re-imagine the gaming experience through innovative technology.

The Rift would run its own app store to host Oculus-enabled applications. Although the VR gear is initially made to enhance the gaming experience, there would be other apps sold in the store that are not exclusively for leisure play. In fact, the Oculus team invites developers to make their own Oculus-ready apps via the Oculus Developer Center.

Interestingly, Oculus refused to give a statement about the Rift's support on violent content.

"Oculus only distributes developer content that meets their terms of service, but they aren't open to discuss what those terms are at this time," said the Oculus spokesperson to Business Insider.

At the E3 2015, the VR company showcased a bunch of games that Rift owners can play with, including EVE: Valkyrie, Chronos, and Lucky's Tale. They also invited interested geeks to try their demo available for iOS and Android using the Oculus live app.

Oculus announced that they would start shipping VR gears at the start of 2016 to customers who preordered online. The Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 costs $350 each.
