More Ethical Porn Options
ElseCinema
ElseCinema, formerly EroticFilms.com (NSFW), is one of Lust's own sites. "It's a pay-per-view catalog of the best in indie adult cinema from across the globe," says Lust. "All of the films licensed there are ethically made, produced, and distributed. There is a big arousing catalog including romance, BDSM, massage, LGBT, and group, from a number of international directors. Use this site if you're seeking beauty, realism and sex-positivity in your porn and want to know that it was made in an ethical way. It's the motto: Life is too short for bad porn."
Although Erika Lust may be the biggest name in feminist pornography, this site is a perfect way to get acquainted with other feminist and ethical porn directors from all over the world.
Four Chambers
"Specializing in highly-stylized short films, this crowdfunded production company, Four Chambers (NSFW), is making films that are part art project, part erotic cinema," says Lust. "Their beautiful aesthetic subverts the established archetype of what sexuality should be and truly pushes the boundaries of erotic film making."
Pushing the boundaries and feminists? Sign me up.
JoyBear
"Describing themselves as 'very British, very naughty,' you will not be let down by JoyBear (NSFW), which has been making sex-positive, erotic films since 2003," says Lust. "They have an amazing attitude towards sex and they take pride in their interesting, strong, and provocative female characters."
A porn site that has provocative female characters? As in female characters that are multi-dimensional and not some cliche of what a woman should be? Finally! Hollywood, take notes.
Jacky St. James
"Adult movie writer and director Jacky St. James shows some hot sex!" says Lust. "She wants to change women’s views on sexuality and help them embrace their own desires. She’s best known for her BDSM themes which are explored in her ever-popular ‘The Submission of Emma Marx’ series. And after feeling unhappy with the way BDSM was portrayed in Fifty Shades of Grey, she created the erotic miniseries ‘Submission’ for late-night cable TV which explores a thrilling BDSM love triangle."
Although Fifty Shades of Grey did a lot of women a favor by opening their eyes to BDSM, many people in the BDSM community were less than thrilled with the depiction of BDSM relationships in the movie. Not only does St. James right those wrongs, but does so in a way that promotes why embracing one's sexuality is so paramount.
Lightsouthern Cinema
"Founder and Director of Lightsouthern Cinema (NSFW), Michelle is amazing!" says Lust. "Her four-part film Momentum is one of my favorites. The cinematography and camera work, nostalgic storyline based on the sexually explorative period of the 70s, the beach landscapes, the diverse body types, the authentic sex... As the company states, Lightsouthern celebrates people celebrating themselves!"
If you're a sexually empowered, and I imagine you are, you definitely want to check out pornography that's creative, explorative, and authentic. Lightsouthern Cinema is one-stop shopping for that.
Ethical, Feminist, Queer, Inclusive
Pink Label TV
The company’s established platform to support new producers by offering resources that help their films find a global audience, enable studios access to sexual health resources and ethical production practices, and further their filmmaking craft and career. More information about becoming a studio. Queer, trans, and people of color, as well as older folks and people with disabilities, so we understand first-hand that porn is broader than the stereotypical audience market.
Make Love Not Porn
Pro-sex. Pro-porn. Pro-knowing the difference. User-generated, human-curated social sex video-sharing platform, celebrating realworldsex as a counterpoint to porn, with the aim of socializing sex - making it easier for everyone to talk about, in order to promote good sexual values and good sexual behavior. We’re what Facebook would be if Facebook allowed everyone to socially sexually self-identify and self-express (which sadly, they don’t).
Social sex reassures, because we celebrate realworld bodies, realworld everything - including accidents, awkwardness, messiness. Social sex is funny - because if we can’t laugh at ourselves in bed, when can we?! Social sex is moving, because we celebrate realworld emotions - love, intimacy, feelings. And our MakeLoveNotPornstars tell us that socially sharing their realworldsex is as transformative for them and their relationships, as socially sharing everything else has been for the world at large.
XConfessions
Global community of people who adore sex and film, and have always hoped for a new kind of erotica. Site is home to filmmakers, performers, artists, and you; the most important part, the people behind the confessions.
Simple but powerful. We shoot explicit short films based on the best anonymous confessions we receive. If your confession is chosen, you are rewarded with a free access pass to the site.
Changing the rules of pornography. We don't just show what sex looks like, we tell stories about what sex and desire feel like, and how we communicate and interact sexually with each other. We want to keep surprising you, so we never use the same story or setting twice. Each film is visually arresting and pushes the boundaries of fetish, lust, desire and intimacy.
Eroticfilms.com
Here you can enjoy films that are all ethically made and available to watch in high quality, on any device you like. No nasty pop-ups, no hiding your internet history. We offer a wide range of unique categories to explore, whether you desire romance or kink, vintage, modern, indie and arthouse cinema, to “how-to” guides or female directors. If you want to be a part of the new wave of adult cinema, and say goodbye forever to the violently chauvinistic porn that has taken over the mainstream, you are in the right place.
Porn Sites for Women That You’ll Really, Really Enjoy - No more degrading videos made by men, for men.
Make Love Not Porn
Cindy Gallop created this site to show real sex among real people, not actors doing things that don't represent how sex happens IRL. Couples submit videos of themselves having sex, which you can rent for $5, and half of the money will go to the stars themselves.
Crashpad Series
Great resource for Ethical, Queer, Feminist, Non Divergent Porn,
Feminist Porn Awards "Best Website" 2011
XBIZ Awards Specialty Site of the Year Winner 2014,2016,2017
Our queer porn casts 'real life' couples who identify as dykes and lesbians, femme, masculine of center (boi, stud, tomboy, AG, and butch) and can be cis or trans women, trans men, people of color, people of size, older queers, and people with disabilities (including neurodivergent).
SPIT
Canadian, queer, feminist, non-directed ethical porn.
Sexuality is a spectrum, and the best porn should reflect that. SPIT’s queer porn collection nails it on two levels, showcasing different types of content—videos, photos, and erotica—which showcase a variety of experiences. Its content is developed ethically, and the company is dedicated to creating consensual, equitable, and intersectional feminist spaces in the sex industry.
r/chickflixxx
Reddit isn’t always the friendliest place for women, but on the r/chickfixxx subreddit you can find women posting their favorite female-friendly X-rated videos. You can even make requests—if your tastes are more specific or you’re looking for a particular kind of video, it may just be easier to ask your fellow sexperts here instead of browsing for hours. You are most definitely welcome.
Lust Cinema
Erika Lust explained why porn can be feminist in this great TED Talk Made largely by female directors—that show all of the passion, "intimacy, love, and lust in sex," where "the feminine viewpoint is vital, the aesthetic is a pleasure to all of the senses, and eroticism and innovation are celebrated." She accepts viewer "confessions," which she turns into videos for her XConfessions series.
Lady Cheeky
Instead of your standard video format, this site features GIFs for quick, free consumption of "palpable desire, unbridled passion, and body-positive eroticism." It also offers sex-toy reviews, a NSFW coloring book, and other resources
A Four Chambered Heart
For porn on the artistic side (yes, it’s a thing and it’s great), check out the photography and short films on A Four Chambered Heart. Unsurprisingly, some of the stills are pretty enough to hang up on your walls—if you’re not too busy getting off to them, that is.
Dane Jones
The "female-friendly" sections of mainstream porn sites are often just proof of how low our standards are. Anything where a woman feels a modicum of genuine pleasure tends to get categorized this way, even when the images overall are clearly geared toward straight men. They're sensual, romantic, and focused on the women involved (though they tend to have shots that linger on men's bodies as well).
Indie Porn Revolution
The women-run Indie Porn Revolution is committed to involving a diverse array of actors, showing safe sex (a rarity in porn), and casting frequently typecast people in nonstereotypical roles.
Dipsea
This female-founded app is that is aimed at creating elevated feminist audio—think Audible for erotica—that allows you to find a sexy story for whatever situation you’re in. You can search for audio porn to listen to alone in bed for a solo session; stories perfect to listen to before a date to get you into a flirty headspace; even erotic stories appropriate for listening to on your commute home to help you switch off from a day at the office. Dipsea’s stories feature a broad range of preferences, perspectives, and interests, and they’re fun, safe, and full of enthusiastic content that prioritizes female pleasure.
Bright Desire
"Ms. Naughty," the filmmaker behind this production company, calls it "a deliberate attempt to show all the good stuff that we love about sex—intimacy, laughter, connection, and real pleasure." The videos feature the silly, awkward side of sex as well as the hot and steamy side. The camera zooms in on men just as much as it does on women, and the scenes focus on the buildup of sexual tension couples experience before sex, so you can feel the heat rising.
Sounds of Pleasure
Listen to enough fake porn moans and you can start to wonder what real people actually sound like when they're masturbating or having sex. Fortunately, this site clears all that up. For no cost at all, you can listen to dozens of audio recordings of masturbation sessions. Some include dirty talk aimed at pleasing the listener, and others include entertaining attempts to count backward from 100 to 0.
Good Vibrations After Dark
The feminist sex-toy store Good Vibrations makes an effort to cater to women's diverse desires, and its video collection is no exception. You can search specifically for feminist porn, women-directed films, and even sex-ed guides—something very needed in a world where way too many people learn everything they know from some pretty unrealistic porn.
Bellesa
At Bellesa, women can easily access sexual content that is true to how they see themselves—as subjects of pleasure, not objects of conquest. It’s not just about the porn, though. They’re a platform that is aimed at helping women fulfill their desires, share intimate and erotic stories, and even engage in a community with other like-minded women looking to freely express their sexuality on the Internet. If you want to try your hand at erotica stories, you can submit your content here, or you can simply browse through their women-friendly porn, whether you’re looking for something sensual, passionate, or, dare we say, even a little rough.
Literotica
A classic Favorite. Images and audio are great, but sometimes there’s nothing better than reading some good old-fashioned erotica. Literotica isn’t your grandma’s scandalous paperback, however. The free resource provides some of the hottest erotic fiction and fantasy on the Internet from a variety of authors and points of view. Its standards for stories are high, so you can be sure that the stories featured here are, ahem, quite useful.
