We all know that the classic pizza delivery guy porn scenario is unrealistic. And that one very bad pickup line doesn't ever immediately lead to hours of hot sex. Still, porn is a contributor to sexual education and there are parts of it that are too often mistakes for reality. The problem with that is obvious: "Anybody who would get their sexual information from pornography alone would be highly misled," says Neil Malamuth, professor of communication and psychology at UCLA. To avoid being counted among the "porn educated," here is some clarity about its most common deceptions and exaggerations.

In theory, the desire to orgasm at the same time as your partner has a certain sweetness to it. The first problem is this coordination is much more complex than it appears in porn. There are some sex toys and methods that you can use to attempt this feat, but that brings us to the second problem: If you are spending all your time and energy trying to climax together, you probably aren’t enjoying yourselves and each other as much as you should be.
Squirting and gushing are popular tricks of women in pornography and are often portrayed as female ejaculation. Tests of the fluid produced have shown these are not the same thing. Female ejaculate is chemically similar to semen. The fluid produced by squirting, on the other hand, is likely watered-down urine. While women can learn to squirt, sex researcher Beverly Whipple doubts women can train themselves to ejaculate.
Malamuth has studied porn consumption, often outside of the United States, and he’s found that people do draw inspiration from what they watch. “It certainly has made them want to try to copy certain acts to try that thing they haven’t done before,” he says. Using porn to expand your sexual horizons is reasonable, and possibly healthy, but remember that the vast majority of these films feature actors who are paid to play up the enjoyment of every moment. Remember this and don’t set yourself up for disappointment when sex in the shower doesn’t do it for you, or expect your partner to be as enthusiastic about this experimentation as the actors were.
Pornography is generally produced for a male audience and tends to depict women in a submissive, or at least very sexually permissive, way. This is not the reality of most sexual partnerships. This disparity has made people worry that the way men dominate over women in porn encourages men who watch it to commit violent sexual acts. Malamuth has studied this in his own work. “For the majority of men, it does not have that impact,” he says, “but for those men who already have other risk factors, heavy consumption of pornography — particularly the more extreme or the more violent — can add fuel to the fire.”
You already know that men’s penises and women’s breasts tend to be bigger in porn. For women, these large, perky breasts accompany thin bodies, which is a relatively uncommon combo in the general populous. Vaginas shown in porn are also of a very restricted aesthetic. For men, the disparity between porn penis size and average can be outrageous. The average man’s penis is 3.6 inches when it’s flaccid and 5.16 inches when it’s erect. If you’re overweight or un-manscaped, it can look even smaller — notice the male actors are rarely either of those.

A new study found that 93% of pornography websites are sending user data to at least one third party.

Surfing the internet has become the standard way to answer any question, purchase anything, and generally fill the idle corners of your day. In that solitary dialogue between your brain and the screen, it feels like whatever you view is yours and yours alone. But contrary to that feeling of privacy, your internet browsing is constantly being tracked by companies who are building an online profile of you.
This may not bother you when shopping for jeans or looking up movie times, but what about when you’re researching sensitive medical information, or viewing things of a private sexual nature?
A forthcoming study — authored by Annenberg School for Communication alumni Elena Maris (Ph.D. ’18) and Timothy Libert (Ph.D. ’17) and doctoral candidate Jennifer R. Henrichsen — analyzed over 22,000 pornography websites and found that 93% of them were sending user data to at least one third party. Google alone was tracking users on nearly 75% of the sites studied.
To make matters worse, many sites’ privacy policies failed to mention the presence of third party trackers, and some sites lacked privacy policies altogether.
The research began when Libert, now core faculty at the CyLab Security and Privacy Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, contacted fellow students at Annenberg about a collaboration on privacy and pornography. Currently a postdoctoral fellow with Microsoft Research’s Social Media Collective, Maris, who focuses on the relationships between media and tech companies and their users, and Henrichsen, who studies the implications of surveillance and tracking on journalists, were excited to work with Libert, who had previously published research on online health privacy .
“Particularly in studies of technology and the internet, both technical and cultural sensibilities are needed to make sense of the complex challenges of the digital age,” says Maris. “Our study is a great example of the rich collaborative work that can emerge when people working with different methodologies and areas of expertise come together to think about the same problem.”
Using webXray and policyXray, software developed by Libert, the researchers were able to identify third party trackers present on pornography sites and extract sites’ privacy policies. The team then analyzed the data, finding an overwhelming lack of privacy and lack of transparency about privacy on these adult websites.
Why should we care? The researchers cite three main reasons:
First, the authors highlight the need for affirmative consent in all types of sexual activity. Watching porn falls into this category, they argue, and therefore, the lack of transparency around what information is being shared with third parties is problematic.
Second, the researchers point out that while everyone should have control over all of their personal data, certain types of information carry more risk. According to their findings, approximately half of the pornography sites analyzed have URLs that reveal a specific gender and/or sexual preference, identity, or interest.
“In the U.S., you can be fired for being LGBTQ in a number of states,” Maris says. “That alone demonstrates a severe potential consequence of a leak that revealed someone’s history of browsing gay porn sites. And legal ramifications may be even more serious in other international contexts.”
Lastly, the authors discuss the larger implications for privacy across the web. Maybe you don’t watch pornography, but you’re likely accessing some kind of content online that you consider personal or sensitive. Even if you’re using a browser with an enhanced privacy setting, like Google Chrome’s incognito mode, you’re still susceptible to online tracking.
“People often assume that using private browsing modes protects them,” Henrichsen says, “but that primarily limits your browsing history from being stored on your personal computer. In reality, private browsing modes offer little to no protection against tracking more generally. The ecosystem for tracking is vast and ever-changing, so it is incredibly difficult to truly avoid being tracked online.”
According to the researchers, new laws are needed to remedy the situation. Presently, websites are strongly encouraged, but not exactly required, to have privacy policies, and the enforcement around this is hazy. Often, when privacy policies do exist, they are written in hard to understand language.
“Our study is further proof that the current model for privacy self-regulation in the U.S. is a failure,” says Libert. “And recent FTC fines against internet companies are wholly insufficient to curb objectionable behavior. Any solutions which place the burden of privacy protection on user actions are likely to be flawed from the start.”
The authors point to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has specific protections for sexual life and orientation, as a step in the right direction for online privacy. But they caution that the U.S. still has a long way to go to achieve anything similar.

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.

New studies suggest internet viruses are still raging on, stealing credit card numbers, holding computers hostage for cash, and even blackmailing us at our most vulnerable.
And while most people assume the golden age of online viruses and malware was in the 1990s and the first 2000 decades, large attacks have still happened on major porn sites within the last two years.
New techniques pop up everyday as this 2020 report on recent ddos attacks by Kaspersky shows. Malicious ads, messages disguised as pretty girls, porn tags, and homescreens have all been weaponized. Below features a dive into all of the recent breaches as well as what websites are best positioned against these
When creating our list, we avoided all the hundreds of hours of porn going on in the background and instead paid attention to these important factors:
We chose PornHub Premium as our top site for its ability to remove ads (which may be infected with trojan horse software), inability to create unique tags (which also may be encrypted), and lack of messaging features. As well as it’s stellar reviews on both the free and premium versions of the website.
This site is one of the most widely recognized porn brands and even makes mainstream news occasionally with creative campaigns. However, a 2017 hacking incident made waves, by tricking users into clicking a fake ad. It made such a mess, the company enhanced its security features in the year following.
PornHub Premium now has https encryption technology to stop other people from hacking and viewing your surfing activities. They also use a thief party biller for subscriptions, which keeps things discreet. There is a PornHub VPN, which hides your identity, and according to viewers, customer service investigates every complaint as soon as possible.
It is worth noting, sites with paid memberships offer more protection in general. This is because certain features such as ads are turned off, or they have more capital to invest in security. Learn if your favorite site has an upgrade option in our article of 100 best premium porn sites .
