Alternatives to Mainstream Pornography

Pornography can be an excellent way to get in touch with your true desires. By watching other people in the act of intimacy, you can safely suss out what you are intrigued by, and where your boundaries are.

However, most mainstream pornography can be very problematic. For one, it tends to cater to men. Women’s pleasure is rarely accurately depicted, and the focus is often on male pleasure. Moreover, pornography can set highly unrealistic standards of body types and orgasms.

Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives to mainstream pornography. Here are a few:

Bellesa

The content on Bellesa is female-centered, where females are the subjects of pleasure. The website also has a community element.

Dispsea
