The adult entertainment industry we know today is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise worth well over $100 billion. It is still growing to this day and shows short and long-term promise.

There are different types of porn sites and different types of adult sites on the internet that comprise the diverse and extremely dynamic adult entertainment industry.

Each one of these sites has a special purpose, provides a particular product or service, and has a particular audience in mind.

Adult Site Broker works with several different types of sites, and it would be beneficial for you to understand a little bit more about them.

Adult Content Blogs

Adult content blogs are types of adult sites that communicate news, commentary, and information about industry happenings and when a scene or set of scenes is being released by a studio. Like other business-to-business media outlets, adult content blogs are primarily focused on current events that have an immediate impact or implication for the readers of such content. Several websites out there report and comment on adult industry events in the context of an adult content blog.

AVN

AVN.com is one such example of an adult content blog. AVN, also known as Adult Video News, is a staple in adult entertainment business-to-business media. The New York Times once described AVN being to porn like Billboard is to music, given the outlet’s focus on ranking pornographic films and performers by popularity. AVN also has an industry news wire covering several business topics.

XBIZ

Xbiz.com and its magazines are considered one of the publications of record for adult entertainment industry professionals. Xbiz covers most major segments in the adult industry. These include pleasure products, webcamming platforms, tube sites, lubricants, affiliate programs, and adult dating websites. Xbiz also manages an active private social networking site like LinkedIn available only to professionals in the adult space. 

Porn Sites Directory 

A porn site directory is a type of adult site that crowdsources, shares, links to, and even reviews porn and adult sites of every category and type. There are several dozens of these sites, which also feature blogs, focused on providing information to the more discerning porn consumer. Porn site directories are built around a few primary categories and list their top sites for best tube sites, best cam sites, best premium sites, best clip sites, and many, many more.

The Porn Dude

ThePornDude.com is possibly one of the most popular porn site directories on the internet. The team at The Porn Dude built a brand by aggregating the top adult and porn sites and pairing that practice with an active blog and a prolific adult film brand called Porn Dude Casting. Their casting couch concept has featured top adult talent on their channel.

Porn Tube Sites

Porn tube sites are the most common type of adult sites that come to mind. The chances are that most porn consumers get their content or a portion of it from a tube site. Think YouTube: a platform where others can upload content for other people to share and watch. Many tube sites feature teasers and trailers of longer-form pornos produced by adult studios. It is also the case for many of these sites to host vibrant amateur creator communities. We did a post about the best porn tube sites recently.

XVIDEOS

XVIDEOS.com is currently considered the busiest adult tube site on the internet after their competitor Pornhub underwent major security and privacy policy changes in recent years. SimilarWeb.com indicates that XVIDEOS has the tenth most web traffic in the world. According to the tube site, there are over 10.7 million videos uploaded to XVIDEOS, across the various categories, languages, and fetishes.

Pornhub

Pornhub.com is one of the most recognizable adult industry brands in the world. Pornhub removed millions of videos uploaded by unverified users due to privacy and security concerns in recent years. However, the website still retains several million videos of all types from creators and adult studios. Pornhub is also known for its Insights blog and its customer service program.

Membership Porn Sites or Paysites

Membership porn sites, or “premium” sites, are types of porn sites that sell full-length adult movies and sex scenes through a pay-as-you-go model or on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly subscription basis. These sites feature highly produced content from popular performers in the adult entertainment industry. Some studios create scenes that are purely sex-based, while others create feature-length films that have all the hot and steamy sex but feature a storyline and some degree of acting by the performers. Amateur sites are another type of membership site.

Brazzers

Brazzers is one of the most recognizable adult film studios. It is owned by the same company that owns Pornhub and features male and female adult performers as “contract stars.” A contract star refers to a performer who agrees to star in a defined set of scenes for the studio. Many videos are award-winning or nominated and highly produced.

Reality Kings

Reality Kings is an adult film studio that specializes in creating “reality” porn. While not always “reality,” Reality Kings runs a network of sites that cater to fetishes and kinks. Porn performers of all types appear in their scenes, and consumers interested in their content can access it similarly to other membership porn sites, as described already.

Live Cam Sites

Live cam sites are adult websites that feature adult performers who live stream their actions and activities to an audience of followers who pay to see lewd scenes like masturbation or sex. The payments are often made by followers buying a digital currency only usable on the cam site or its affiliated websites and can be exchanged by the models for real money upon cashing out after a period. These are known as tokens, and they help prevent chargebacks.

Chaturbate

Chaturbate.com is an immensely popular adult webcamming site with several thousands of performers streaming content to millions of users every month. Straight, gay, and trans performers are common on Chaturbate, given that the company strives to accept sexual diversity as a positive thing and to provide options for all kinks, fetishes, genders, sexual orientations, and other types of attractions.

Bongacams

Bongacams.com is another popular adult webcamming site providing similar services and options for content like their competitors. Bongacams, like their competitors, allows creators to live stream directly to an audience, enter private sessions for a certain sum of tokens, and provide straight, gay, and trans creators the opportunity to engage with fans through a controlled and monitored setting.

Adult Games Sites

Gaming is huge in the mainstream world. To no surprise, gaming is also huge in the adult entertainment space. Entire companies have grown by releasing entertaining, sexy, and functional video game titles across the various platforms for gaming. Most adult games released are published to Windows or Mac computers or mobile devices that run Android and iOS. It is rare to see adult games on platforms like Xbox and PlayStation. Virtual reality adult gaming is also a growing niche. Like in mainstream, adult games are most popular with younger consumers.

Nutaku

Nutaku.com is a platform that hosts sex and porn games. Many of these games are in the hentai category, with others like tycoon games and shooters.

Porn Pictures Sites

Sometimes, nothing is sexier than a hot naked picture. Heralding the days of porn before the internet and the nude spread was king, porn pictures sites are types of porn sites that are dedicated to pics. These types of websites host porn and sex pictures from professional porn stars and amateur content producers, including different types of image media like GIFs, JPEGs, PNGs, and bitmaps. Many of these sites also have social media functions similar to other adult tube sites.

Sex.com

Sex.com is an adult social media network that specializes in images and videos. The website underwent an update not too long ago to look like a mix of TikTok and Instagram.

ImageFap also has discussion forums and blogs to share sexy stories and ideas with others.

Escort Sites

Escort sites or classified sites are platforms for escorts and sex workers to safely advertise their services to interested parties. These types of adult sites help facilitate consensual and legal social interactions between two parties, including services that would entail accompanying someone to a social event or for socializing. Escort sites are important businesses and can do much for formalizing and protecting the privacy of not only clients but the escorting professionals who use escort sites to sell their services. We’ve written a post about the best ones.

Bedpage.com
