Porn is an unregulated industry, meaning that people who shoot, produce and release the majority of porn existing on the Internet do so in unethical ways. There are no rules for how they do this work so they create shortcuts, mistreat their actors, and exploit people for financial gain.
However, there are ways we (as consumers of porn) can make sure we’re supporting ethically made porn where sex workers are respected, compensated, and shooting consensual scenes. Because sex work is real work and don’t you want to support steamy content that was made with amazing queer creators?
I know it can be hard to find these gems in the depths that is free and easily accessible porn. When I first started to consume porn, I was wildly disappointed by the options out there for queer folks. I couldn’t find anything that f*cked with the constructs of gender. I struggled to find anything not filmed and produced by white cishet dudes (ugh). More often than not, I ended up on Tumblr watching GIFs of hot girls making out. But that still wasn’t what I was looking for in my porn.
Then, I found the Crash Pad Series and my entire fantasy life was changed. I found porn that focused on femme pleasure AND was created by queers. My heart fluttered a million times over, and not just from the amazing orgasms I was having.
So if you’ve been in a horrible cycle of free lesbian porn that was primarily created for the male gaze, never fret, my babes. I’m here to advise you on all the best queer and feminist porn sites for your viewing pleasure. These are sites that I’ve personally paid for, researched, and highly recommend.
1. Crash Pad Series
This was the first queer porn site I ever discovered and still remains at the top of my list. What I love most about Crash Pad Series is that they expose the complexities of queer sexual desire, f*ck with gender roles and give real representation of queer sex. As a baby queer, this site provided me the first ever representation of queer femmes dominated and it changed my entire realm of sexual desire! Not only do I love this for my own use, I also recommend it in my sex ed work. I think that porn is such an empowering way to explore desires for people who are navigating their own sexuality.
You can get a monthly membership for $25 and a yearly for $119.88.
2. AORTA Films
“Ginny, Parts, and Mahx have been creating erotica together since 2012, when Parts proposed the idea of a Valentine’s Day photo shoot in celebration of their friendship, bodies, and radical babeliness,” it reads on their site. And the three have continued to make sexy queer content with radical babeliness at the forefront ever since, under the name AORTA Films. Their most recent films even have the hottest names like “Teenage Dream” and “Liquid Dreams” — with another video launching tomorrow, March 1.
You can get full access to their site by supporting their Patreon with a $9 monthly donation.
3. Queer Porn TV, Indie Porn Revolution & Fat Girl Fantasies
Queer Porn TV, Indie Porn Revolution and Fat Girl Fantasies are all amazing sites created under the same production company TROUBLEfilms. Courtney Trouble is one of the most influential queer porn directors — as well as a real pioneer in filling this void of queer and trans focused porn. “They coined the term ‘queer porn’ in 2003 to describe the unique work they were making outside the influence of the adult industry,” it reads on their site. You can literally find any of your desires on these sites– the breadth of content in so inspiring.
You can have a monthly membership for all 3 sites for $27 a month.
4. Lust Cimena
Erotic film director Erika Lust is creating a new world of indie adult cinema — the films are exciting, intimate and sexy as f*ck. You can feel the chemistry oozing off the screen in the porn she produces through Lust Cinema — she has a magical way of making you feel like you’re in the room or a part of the action. Lust believes that porn can and should have cinematic values that value the actors and the process they’re going through to create this content.
You can sign up for a month for $34.94 or 6 months for $16.66 per month.
5. Spit Exposed
Described as “Toronto’s authentic queer porn,” this site will not disappoint. The video quality is stunning, often with beautiful lighting and interesting angles — not only will you feel hella turned on, you’ll be witnessing a true artist film. What I love most about Spit Exposed is that they offer video content, photos and erotic blog posts. I love reading erotic, it feels so pure because the buildup takes longer as your eyes move along the page.
You can sign up for $19.65 a month, or check out their patreon.com/spit for more flexible funding options.
Now that you’re all turned on AF, close your bedroom door and enjoy!
