It’s no secret that people love porn, what with 40 million Americans regularly visiting porn sites such as Pornhub — which saw 42 billion site visits in 2019 alone. With just a few clicks on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can enjoy an endless world of hot and steamy images and videos in every conceivable genre. Even in today’s social distancing climate, your dating and sex life doesn’t need to dry up or be boring.
But with recent allegations of child pornography, revenge porn, and rape coming out against the parent company of Pornhub — one of the largest players in the free porn game — it might be time for some alternative programming.
If you like porn but want to make things a bit more interactive, these are some popular dating sites that will help you achieve that. There’s a little something for everyone, whether you’re looking to explore your kinky fantasies, make a lasting romantic connection, are looking for senior love, simply want to hook up, or want to keep things safely socially distanced and just cam and chat. Like Pornhub, all of these sites are free to use, with some offering various levels of paid membership to unlock bonus features.
And if all you like are free videos with easy to search categories like Pornhub offers, there’s even some of those on our list too. While these sites are by no means perfect and some of them are pretty raunchy, here's the scoop on what you're getting yourself into.
Before clicking through consider yourself warned: NSFW content awaits.
