For a number of reasons (my traditional Christian upbringing, crappy internet, fear of viruses, and a late-blooming sexuality), I didn’t actually start watching porn until the ripe old age of 21. I remember that the first porno I watched was hella cheesy, mainly focused on male pleasure, and didn’t cost me a cent. Five years later, I still like to watch the occasional sexy video when I’m about to get down with myself — but lately, I haven’t felt satisfied or ethical using the sites I typically frequent. Since I don’t have the inclination or the extra cash to pay for a feminist porn subscription right now, I thought this meant I was doomed to watch unrealistic, degrading porn — or no porn at all. After scouring the Internet for unexpected places to find free porn for women, however, I’ve discovered that paying for porn or suffering through sh*tty porn are not my only options. Free porn for women really does exist, and it’s sexy as hell.
If you, too, have been feeling dissatisfied with your current source of orgasm fuel, then you’ll probably be thrilled to learn that free porn targeted towards women is a real thing. Whether you get super turned on by viewing sexy, still images of gorgeous models, or you prefer to masturbate to images of normal men and women just being their sexy selves, there’s something online for you.
Here are just a few places to find porn that won’t leave you feeling like a bad feminist. (Though there really is no wrong way to be a feminist, and you can watch whatever the hell you like.)
1. Tumblr
OK, so unless you're as behind the times as this old broad, then you probably already know that Tumblr is a figurative gold mine for free porn. If, however, you've never turned to Tumblr to rev your lady engines, then you really should consider checking it out the next time you're feeling yourself. It's mostly going to be still images and GIFs, not actual sex videos — but don't let that put you off, because they're hot AF.
Currently, my personal favorite is Lady Cheeky. Their "Smut for Smarties" tagline doesn't disappoint, so I would definitely recommend checking them out. If that page doesn't do it for you, though, don't despair. Really, there's no shortage of hot Tumblr accounts to chose from. Whether you're super into boobs, sex sounds get you hot, or reading about what makes other people come heats you up, you can rest assured that there's a Tumblr account out there just waiting to spice up your solo play.
2. Pixabay
Perhaps because I've never written a story on porn, I had no idea that the free photo site Pixabay plays host to some pretty sexy photos. Granted, you're not going to find much full-frontal nudity on the site, and you're not going to find tons of body-type diversity, either. The site also lacks any super sensual photos of men — so if you're a woman who's straight as a ruler, then Pixabay may not do much for you. That said, if you're just looking for some steamy stills of pretty ladies to get you going, then try typing, "sexy women" in the Pixabay search bar. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed.
3. Instagram
Instagram doesn't allow users to post fully nude images, but you can still find some incredibly hot photos on there. Speaking as a woman who seriously digs men, women, coffee, and lingerie, I'd recommend checking out @menandcoffee and @meinmyplace. The former is literally just pictures of super sexy dudes drinking coffee — often in their boxer briefs and almost always unburdened by shirts — and the latter is a virtual catalogue of sexy pics taken by gorgeous, consenting, female adults in their own homes. Don't stop there, though, because Instagram is basically Narnia for porn enthusiasts.
4. MomXXX
If you dig porn featuring mature women, then you might want to check out MomXXX the next time you plan on spending some quality time with your vibrator. The site focuses on providing its users with, "mature, sophisticated erotica," and claims to love, "sex experienced women." On top of all that, one Bustle reader told us back in 2015 that she likes the site because, "the women on MomXXX look like me, and are often being f*cked by age-appropriate men!"
5. Snapchat
Personally, I'm not much of a Snapchat gal. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. (How does one do a Snapchat story, anyway?) After reading about how Snapchat is basically a never-ending source of pornographic material for people who do use it, however, I'm considering giving my relationship with the app one more go. Evidently, if you follow the right people, sexy snaps abound. If you want to check out how porn-y snapchat can get, here are a few accounts to get you started: @niykeeheaton, @sedgyfero, @misskiaralee. And if you have a particular porn star in mind that you'd like to start following, (ahem, Stoya) check out SnapCodes.
6. Hysterical Literature
As an English major, writer, and super-horny lady, the fact that there's porn out there featuring beautiful women reading smart books until they orgasm is just about the best news I've gotten all week. I can't believe I didn't know about Hysterical Literature until today, because it's basically a book nerd's wet dream come (hehe) to life. NYC-based photographer, Clayton Cubitt, evidently created Hysterical Literature to explore "feminism, mind/body dualism, distraction portraiture, and the contrast between culture and sexuality." The site describes itself as a video art series, but I would describe it as super classy — and super sexy — porn for women.
7. Uplust
If you haven't heard of it yet, Uplust is a free social media network that allows users to upload, edit, and share their sexy selfies and short videos. The site prides itself on being a safe space for men and women of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and body types to indulge their exhibitionist side without fear of judgement and/or discrimination. (How rad is that?)
Sixty-five percent of Uplust users are women, and with good reason. As an Uplust representative told Bustle last fall, "Because it's not studio-produced porn, [the site] puts women in control of their bodies, and doesn't reinforce unrealistic body types." There's also a significant transgender presence on Uplust. So if you're looking for a social media network that will leave you feeling like a porn star in the best of ways, but isn't actually for porn stars, check it out. You won't be able to download it from Google Play or the App Store, though, so just go straight to their site and download it from there.
Happy porn-watching!
