Welcome to Porn Week , Mashable's annual close up on the business and pleasure of porn.
Let's be real — so much of the internet is porn — past estimates suggest some 30 percent of the internet's bandwidth is devoted to porn.
Shocker, I know, people love porn. But with so much to chose from, where do you go for the very best porn? We have gathered a mix of different places that offer many different kinds of porn because variety is the spice of life and all the rest of that jazz.
Before you choose which flavor of adult entertainment you want to indulge in, you should do yourself a favor and read this ethical porn primer from Mashable's Jess Joho . Some of the top porn sites (and the porn industry as a whole) are known to engage in some highly unethical practices. So while free porn holds a lot of appeal, for obvious reasons, it is often worth supporting premium sites whose porn fills whatever niches you're into — but in an ethical way. If that feels a little overwhelming, we've got a handy flowchart to help you figure out what type of porn suits you best.
Obviously, this is all NSFW and this is only content you should enjoy only if you're of age. Alright, well then, here we go. Here are 10 porn resources for all the horny folks out there.
Considering Pornhub (opens in a new tab) is literally one of the most visited websites in the world , this is pretty obvious. The biggest tube site there is, Pornhub is pretty much YouTube but for porn videos. Whether it's your favorite pornstar or amateur videos, hardcore or soft, chances are Pornhub has what you're looking for — just endless amounts of sex videos.
Tired of watching videos and looking for something new? It might be a time to give audio erotica a try. Dipsea (opens in a new tab) is a good place to hit up if you're just dipping a toe into audio porn. It's an app that features a diverse and carefully curated selection of erotic stories. While you can do a free trial, it is a subscription service, which means you're actually supporting the people behind the stories.
OK, xHamster is pretty similar to Pornhub if we're being honest here. xHamster (opens in a new tab) is, as the name suggests, another XXX site that's chock full of free porn.
As Mashable's Anna Iovine has covered in great detail , the website FrolicMe (opens in a new tab) is aimed at providing porn actually aimed at women. That means the women featured in the porn are enthusiastically enjoying the sex in various idyllic settings.
"I want real chemistry, I want real connection, I want real intimacy," Anna Richards, founder of the erotic site, told Mashable. "I want to show real sex as opposed to a performance."
Bellesa (opens in a new tab) is a self-described feminist porn site. It offers free, long clips from the creators themselves. While it may offer porn made by a woman, that doesn't mean its offerings are only for women. These are scenes meant to get all kinds of people off.
You might have noticed that OnlyFans (opens in a new tab) was suddenly everywhere during after the coronavirus pandemic struck. Lots of famous , infamous , and everything-in-between people joined the cam site and gained lo. Basically, it's a website where you can directly support performers creating adult material.
ManyVids (opens in a new tab) is a community-focused online platform that gives creators control of their content and actually pays them when their work gets viewed. Users can purchase videos, custom videos, livestreams and more. There is also a free selection of videos from creators as well.
Another repository of erotic stories, Mashable's Iovine wrote that Quinn is effectively "the YouTube of audio porn." On Quinn (opens in a new tab) , you'll find user-uploaded amateur audio erotica of all different varieties.
Like OnlyFans, Fansly is a subscription-based platform for adult content creators to host their material. On this platform, creators can interact directly with fans. Fansly offers creators to offer both free and paid subscription services.
If you love books and romance novels and also you're kind of horny, then Literotica is the place for you. It's written erotic materials that'll help you get off.
