How To Watch Better Porn

How To Watch Better Porn

Women watch porn too. Facts. So why is it that good, ethical female friendly porn can be tricky to come by?
Mainstream free porn has often been criticised for its intense male gaze and setting unrealistic standards for women (and men) to perform to. As well as perpetuating unrealistic female desires and showing a lack of communication there’s also the unbelievable story lines “oh hello you must be the plumber, my pipes are blocked...yes yes ohmygodwowrightthere”. Cringe.
In real life, people tend to get off on their partner’s pleasure, so it makes sense to consume good porn that’s more emotionally rewarding. When we say good porn we’re talking about porn that celebrates making love with emotional connections and mutual respect as well as being f*cking hot.
Whether you’re straight or LGBTQ, there’s actually plenty out there beyond the classic performative mainstream tubesites like Redtube and Pornhub. Lucky for you we’ve done the research so you don’t need to worry about your browsing history. We’ve trawled the internet for real, honest sexy sex so that you can treat yourself to better quality erotica. Some of these sites require some form of subscription or payment, which you may turn your nose up at initially, but the very least we can do for adult film makers is pay them.
See if you can make it through the list without getting distracted!

xconfessions

This has to be up there with the best. If you’re used to the free tube sites, this is just pure heaven. This is a genuine kind of porn - some is even between real couples. The concept for adult film maker Erika Lust’s project XConfessions is making erotic films based on anonymous confessions submitted to the site by fans and followers. Beautifully shot (often by women giving it a more female gaze), the camera picks up emotional connections between the actors, and you can tell that they’re properly enjoying themselves - something you don’t often see in mainstream porn.

 

 

Common Sensual 

Am I watching arthouse cinema? Beautifully shot and super steamy, with thoughtful dialogue and beautiful actors, experimental camera angles, tailor made sound tracks and ambient lighting. Founder Lucie Blush wanted to properly explore sex and make videos where people truly explore their sexual identities rather than having sex for the sake of having sex.

 

 

Make Love Not Porn

MakeLoveNotPorn is ‘what Facebook would be if Facebook allowed everyone to socially sexually self-identify and self-express’. It hosts hundreds of videos of real life couples going at it at. The videos are made by real people and the sex is captured in its funny, messy and wonderful reality rather than being a performance. MakeLoveNotPorn label themselves as pro-sex, pro-porn and pro-knowing the difference - something we think is really important. If you’re turned on by watching people who are actually tuned on we recommend renting a video!

 

 

Orgasmic Tips For Girls

Another great Tumblr (RIP). As well as a curated porn site where people can upload or share links they like, it’s an educational hub (not the boring kind). Orgasm worries, masturbation advice, body hang ups and ‘is this normal?’ questions are all discussed. It’s a bit like sitting with your friends and having a very honest but very reassuring chat. If you’re curious about anything sex related this is a safe space where you can watch, confess, discover and get off.

 

 

I Feel Myself

The I Feel Myself site houses ‘real, natural, and ethical representations of female self-pleasure". Basically I Feel Myself has hundreds of videos of women getting themselves off. There are no actresses, all videos are submitted by the women themselves and the videos feature pretty realistic orgasms. It can be messy and un-pretty (i.e. real) but the best thing about this site is that it captures the truest actions of a woman exploring her sexuality - and reassuringly, no two women have the same way of reaching orgasm (so you could actually learn something new here too). It’s voyeuristic and feels intensely intimate but it is captivating to say the least.

 

 

A Four Chambered Heart

Erotic shorts that explore themes such as symbolism, mythology and alchemy. Yes, that’s right. This site features gorgeous photography, scripts and camera angles. Classed as ‘contemporary pornographic work from a new perspective’ this porn blurs the lines between sex and alternative cinema. It’s conceptual, magical and filthy but in a beautiful way. If you’re arty AF then we whole heartedly recommend. 

 

 

Crashpad Series 

For anyone who wants to explore something a bit different, this site celebrates gender fluidity and sexual orientation to the full. LGBTQ friendly, theres certainly something for everyone on here. The videos are super genuine, as the actors choose what they do on camera, and choreograph all scenes themselves so you see a lot more communication.
