10 porn sites for women

According to a 2017 study published in the scientific journal The Journal of Sex Research, in the 50 most viewed videos on Pornhub, the female orgasm is explicitly shown on screen only 18.3 per cent of the time, while the male orgasm is shown 78 per cent of the time. The data confirms how much the porn industry is still dominated by a patriarchal and heterosexual view and how it still has a complex relationship with women, reducing them to objects that can be manipulated but still seeing them as protagonists that you only learn about by following the evil eye. However, in recent years, aided by the many struggles of the feminist movement, there has also been an increase in different realities emanating from women writers and directors to create adult content that is ethical, inclusive and less "fake" Many have set out to remove the toxic mechanisms, that have shaped the industry, and to encourage the development of a sex-positive society where the representation of pleasure becomes intersectional, joyful, and focused on finally representing female desire while arousing users and protecting sex workers. The answer is here, and it's called "ethical porn" Angie Rowntree, founder of Sssh.com, explains, "Ethical porn is made with open communication, honesty, respect and transparency. Everything you see in the scene has been negotiated and agreed upon by all parties before the camera rolls." This means that performers are paid fairly, that they can choose their own scene partners and give their consent, and that there are safe, sensitive sets where everyone involved is heard and respected. Ethical porn also means more inclusive representation that celebrates different sexualities and bodies, including point of view that is no longer reserved for heterosexual and cisgender men, but also women, LGBTQIA+, disabled and other marginalised groups.

Here is a list of ethical feminist porn sites created for women.

Sssh

Rashida Jones recommends Sssh.com because it is an ethical project that focuses entirely on the female paicere and the female gaze. It's about sex-positive stories, fantasies, desires and provocations told in an engaging and high-heat way. The plus? The attention to aesthetics and design, from the experience on the website to the films with 360º technology.

Bellasa

Available in both free and paid versions with a larger catalogue (the Netflix of porn), Bellesa.co offers a mix of videos, films, sexual health articles and a shop where you can buy sex toys. The plots alternate between super-stiff and real-life scenarios, with an emphasis on foreplay. The mission? To show sex that is shameless, stimulating and pleasurable, while "showing women as we really are, as subjects of pleasure, not objects of conquest"

Frolic Me

Frolic Me was founded in 2015 by Anna Richards with the aim of "playing with passion and erotic desire" and celebrating women's point of view and consensual pleasure. Frolic Me offers a wide range of constantly updated content, including videos, erotic stories, erotic audios, photos and even articles. The site also boasts that it is one of the most recommended sites by sex therapists because its content promotes positive sex education and, most importantly, female pleasure.

OnlyFans

This is an online content service where creators can set the cost of membership for their subscribers. Although not all content is NSFW or pornographic, it has two advantages over other similar sites. The first is that sex workers and porn performers cannot use middlemen and can manage their own clients, which reduces the risk of exploitation and instead increases the chance of getting paid properly. The second is that OnlyFans offers the possibility to interact directly with the creators.

BrightDesire

Founded by Ms Naughty, the website describes itself as "intelligent porn for men and women" that "appeals to your mind, heart and libido" The videos feature real individuals, couples and groups having sex, just like in real life, combining pure performance, foreplay and other erotic content that shows intimacy and pleasure, connection and chemistry.

PinkLabel TV

When Shine Louise Houston, an American filmmaker who has been making queer porn since the mid-2000s, founded the on-demand video platform Pink Label, she probably did not know it would be dubbed the Netflix of indie adult films and become the benchmark for queer, feminist pornography. The plus side of this website? It offers directors, filmmakers and performers who do not have their own website a shared income and fair wages, but also courses, newsletters and events that improve the lives of sex workers and promote ethical porn.

XConfessions

Erika Lust has always struggled with making porn from a woman's perspective. Every month she chooses two sexual fantasies from those submitted by users and turns them into short erotic films that end up on XConfessions. Since women choose the subjects, it's really about "what women want" And for those looking for an additional source of arousal, all the essays that inspired the films are posted on the site.

CrashPadSeries

The platform is inspired by the film The Crash Pad, which tells of a secret flat that only the queer community has access to. It is run by queer Shine Louise Houston of Pink & White Productions, who only lets the performers do what they want in front of the camera, so the videos show real, consensual sex. Key features include diversity of content, including BDSM, kink, lots of orgasms, communication, intimacy, fun, cis or trans, people of all ethnicities, sensual orientations, ages and body types.

Afterglow

Afterglow's tagline? "It's ethical and sexy as hell" The founder, Lily Sparks, decided to create an ethical porn site that was also an educational resource. She has succeeded in creating a site that shows what real sex looks like and concretely helps people achieve the ultimate orgasm.
