Porn. It’s a word that elicits a wide range of reactions, from disgust and revulsion to fascination and arousal.
We’re all familiar with the stereotypical idea of porn: a man with a dirty goatee grabbing at his privates while a poorly lit woman moans in a staged orgasm.
But porn has come a long way since those days. It’s no longer just the preserve of basement-dwelling losers and sad-sack perverts (although it can be, if that’s your thing). Porn is for everyone.
Yes, even you.
But what porn should you watch? There are so many flavors, styles, and subgenres, it can be hard to know where to start.
Vanilla Porn
If you’re just dipping your toe into the world of porn, vanilla porn is a good place to start. It’s pretty much the equivalent of your standard rom-com, except with more sex and fewer Meg Ryan-style tears.
Vanilla porn is heterosexual, reasonably well-lit, and produced with a minimum of pretenses. The actors may or may not have acted in anything other than porn. The sex may or not be simulated. The dialogue is usually terrible.
But if you want to see what it’s like for a man and a woman to have intercourse, vanilla porn is usually a pretty safe bet. There’s no BDSM, no whips and chains, no balaclavas or ball gags. Just two (or more) consenting adults getting it on.

BDSM Porn
BDSM porn, or Bondage/Discipline, Domination/Submission and Sado-Masochism, is an umbrella term for any kind of consensual sexual activity involving the giving and receiving of power, pain, or humiliation.
BDSM porn is incredibly diverse, ranging from the relatively tame (a dominant partner giving orders) to the hardcore (genital torture and forced orgasms).
BDSM porn is also often highly stylized, with carefully coiffed models wearing corsets and garters, or leather collars and chains.
If you’re new to BDSM, it’s worth watching a few different videos to get an idea of what you find arousing. You might be surprised by what turns you on.
Kinky Porn
Kinky porn is a catch-all term for any type of porn that isn’t vanilla or BDSM. It can include everything from multi-partner sex to medical fetishes and edge play (a type of BDSM that involves inflicting small amounts of physical harm).
Kinky porn can be a great way to explore your sexuality in a safe and consensual way. It can also be a way to experiment with new and exciting things with a partner.
Just be aware that not all kinky porn is created equal. Some videos can be explicit and confronting, while others are more sensual and erotic. It’s important to find the right kinky porn for you (or you and your partner, if that’s what you’re into).

So, What’s Your Flavor?
There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to porn. It’s entirely personal. What turns you on? What makes you feel good? What makes you hornier than a three-legged billy goat at an all-night orgy?
Whatever your flavor, there’s a porn for that.
- Vanilla
- BDSM
- Kinky
So go forth and explore the world of porn. Who knows? You might just find your sexual Nirvana.
