The thing I like best about porn is also the thing I like least about porn - there’s a LOT of it! From ancient times to today, erotic material has proliferated every medium from Greek vases to the Internet and if you’re a fan of adults-only entertainment, the tyranny of choice can be oppressive. If you’re into something other than hair-free, surgically enhanced, hetero-centric sexy times, finding porn that really excites you can be challenging. On the other hand, there is a pretty good chance that whatever it is that gets you going, somewhere someone has made a movie, drawn a comic, taken a photo, painted a picture, or written a story about it.
The 5 Best Books To Read After 50 Shades Of Grey
If you’re interested in porn, but you’re not sure where to look, here are a few suggestions to get you started:
The online home of writer and adult filmmaker Ms. Naughty, Bright Desire has a collection of films real-life partners (couples and groups) and steamy singles. The performers represent a range of body types, ethnicities, and genders. The movies have a joyful, positive quality and the sex is hot. This is a subscription site, but one that’s well worth the money if you enjoy authentic performances and playful sexuality. You also get access to a collection of short erotic fiction and my personal favourite...the porn blooper reel!
When mainstream porn features people of colour, they’re often fetishized or featured in story lines that rely on familiar ethnic tropes. Racial clichés are not my jam. That’s why I appreciate sites like Black Erotica. This is an image-based blog, featuring both photos and artwork. There’s some beautiful stuff happening with elegant bodies intertwined in elegant poses. There’s also a ton of nudity and really hot, explicit sex-stuff happening. These things are not mutually exclusive. As a POC, it’s affirming to see black sexuality celebrated rather than stereotyped.
Everything You Need To Spice Up Your Love Life
Berkeley-based publishing house, Cleis Press has a wide variety of erotic fiction anthologies. I own several and they’ve never failed to liven up my bedtime reading. There are general collections and all sorts of themed anthologies like gay military, spanking, kinky couples, and workplace hook-ups.
The guide itself isn’t sexy - unless of course you have a thing for lists. But even if you don’t, this is a useful resource for navigating various porn genres and popular titles. The most recent version of UGtAV was published in 2003, so it’s a bit out of date but most of the titles listed are still available and hold up very well. Each entry features a legend to help you find or avoid common porn features like facials, boob jobs, and legit female orgasms.
Erotic comics and graphic novels give you a lot of bang for your buck. You get all the steamy titillation of dirty words, combined with the visual stimulation of explicit imagery. My favourite thing about comic book porn is that it’s not bound by pesky things like human anatomy or the laws of physics. Comic book sex features humans and non-humans of all shapes, sizes, orientations, genders, species doing it in locations both real and imagined, throughout time, in alternate universes for all manner of reasons. Eros Comix works with top notch authors and illustrators and they’re a great source for comic book porn!
