Basic Porn Terms
General Terms:
NSFW – Acronym for Not Safe For Work, meaning content that you wouldn’t want to be seen looking at in work, with family, or in public. Commonly used to indicate pornographic material.
Softcore – Porn that focuses on lewd aspects like kissing, semi-nude or nude bodies, but doesn’t involve penetration or sex, and doesn’t usually explicitly show genitalia.
IRL – An acronym meaning In Real Life. For porn, it just means porn with real people. The term is usually only used to distinguish something from drawn or computer-generated pornography.
Sauce – Bastardization of the word “source”, no one really knows why it’s used other than that it sounds funny. Originates from 4chan.
Vanilla – Umbrella term for “normal” or conventional pornography.
Fetish or Kink – A sexual interest that strays from the activities or objects of conventional sex. For example, porn with a focus on spanking, feet, excessive amounts of cum, and specific clothing would be considered fetish porn, but blowjobs and anal would not.
BDSM – Umbrella term for the wide array of fetishes and practices involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and sadomasochism.
Femboy or Trap – Porn of a biological male that has androgynous or feminine features, and/or cross-dresses in female clothing. Only meant to define the physical features of someone in porn regardless of gender identification. Is commonly used incorrectly for people with both tits and a dick, a more accurate term would be transsexual.
Tomboy – A biological female that has androgynous or masculine features, and/or cross-dresses in male clothing. Also is only used to define physical features and not gender identification.
Trans or Transsexual – An umbrella term (for the purposes of porn) that defines someone who identifies differently from their biological gender, both mtf (male to female), and ftm (female to male), and somewhere in-between as well.
The terms are used for both pre-op and post-op persons (having a sexual reassignment operation), however transsexual is more often used for people who are post-op or in-between (Ex. someone with both tits and a dick).
Terms for drawn or computer-generated (not-IRL) porn:
Anime – An animation genre originating from Japan with a unique style.
Hentai – Umbrella term for drawn or computer-generated porn in the anime style.
R34 or Rule 34 – Drawn or computer-generated porn commonly used to define porn in the style of cartoons or animation originating from the western part of the world.
Rule 34 comes from the “Rules of the Internet” meme with the 34th rule stating that “If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.”. This comes from the fact that originally, most western drawn porn on the internet were parodies of characters from existing TV shows, comics, movies, video games, commercial mascots, etc.
CG / 3D – Computer-Generated porn with 3D modeling software.
Furry – A subculture interested in anthropomorphic animals (animals with humanoid features), not necessarily in a sexual way.
Yiff – Commonly used term for porn involving furry characters, however, the term “furry porn” is also used.
Manga – Japanese comic books
Doujinshi or Doujin – Japanese manga that are self-published, often using characters from other popular anime, manga, and video games, comparable to a “fanfic”. In English it’s often just used as an umbrella term to describe any kind of pornographic Japanese comic.
Booru – An imageboard where images (and sometimes GIFs, short videos, and even flash animations) are categorized with a bunch of tags and can be searched by those individual tags like brown_hair, large_breasts, anal, etc, along with specific fetishes, artists, or characters.
Ecchi – Softcore hentai
Yuri – General term for lesbian hentai
Yaoi – General term for gay hentai
Futanari or Futa – The Japanese word for “hermaphrodite”. Often abbreviated as just “futa”, this term is used for drawn or CG porn involving a female with both tits and a dick and sometimes a vagina. Also known as dickgirl.
Lolicon or Loli – Hentai of fictional drawn or CG underage girls
Shotacon or Shota – Hentai of fictional drawn or CG underage boys
As there are literally thousands of terms for hentai out there, I won’t list them all here, but if you’d like to see a list of more terms commonly used in hentai, visit:

Best Resources for Porn
Real-life porn:
Pornhub, xhamster, xvideos, tube8, and xnxx are all good sites for videos, and some of them have categories for images/GIFs as well. Pornhub is probably the best out of all of them. Reddit is also a good aggregator for porn and has sub communities for specific topics. Some good general porn subreddits are:
reddit.com/r/gonewild – Amateur self-posted nudes of both women and men (but mostly women)
reddit.com/r/nsfw_gif – For GIFs and short videos
Here’s an index of all the popular subreddits dedicated to pretty much any porn topic you can think of:
reddit.com/r/NSFW411/wiki/index
Drawn or computer-generated (not-IRL) porn:
Rule 34 / Western drawn or CG porn
Twitter is where most western artists post their art publicly, from there you can find their Patreon/Ko-fi and further resources for their art on their specific pages.
RIP Tumblr
Hentai
Pixiv is the best choice for finding hentai since this is where most Japanese artists originally post all their work, the only problem being sometimes it can be a bit
hard to navigate since the page is originally in Japanese. However, the site is being translated more and more into English these days and now is much easier to use.
E-Hentai is the largest hub for hentai manga and doujinshi (comics); since most hentai artists don’t normally sell their work outside of Japan, some people kindly
scan their manga and doujinshi and upload them here. You can find plenty of translations in multiple different languages here as well. If you’re interested in
incest, lolicon/shotacon, and other more niche fetishes, you’ll have to go through the process of accessing their other website ExHentai to see that content.
(See: How to Access ExHentai AKA Sadpanda)
*Note* More people tend to use nhentai for manga and doujins as the site looks newer and is easier to use, however nhentai takes almost all (if not all) of their
content from E-Hentai, usually at lower resolutions than the original.
Boorus are a good choice for all kinds of drawn / CG porn, they aggregate from multiple sites and most posts are heavily tagged, allowing you to search for whatever specific content you wish to see.
A list of good porn imageboards or boorus
Sankaku Channel – Best option for quickly browsing hentai, the page layout is sleek, and you can browse related images or images by popularity
Gelbooru – 2nd best option for hentai, although the site has been steadily getting worse over time with things like intrusive ads and notifications
Rule34.xxx – For western drawn or CG porn only, since most other boorus don’t include content from artists with a western style
e621 – For furry artists only
Inkbunny – The “Pixiv” of furry art
How to Access ExHentai AKA Sadpanda
ExHentai is E-Hentai’s sister website that also hosts all of the same content of E- Hentai, but with the addition of manga and doujins containing more niche and extreme fetishes like incest, lolicon, and bestiality.
If you aren’t interested in those fetishes, you can ignore this go ahead and enjoy E-Hentai.
It’s also known as “sadpanda” because if you tried to go onto the site and didn’t go through the proper method, all you would see is a picture of a sad panda.
Today that picture isn’t there, but you still won’t be able to access the site without following these steps:
• Sign up for an account on E-Hentai
• You must then wait anywhere from 1 week to a month after signing up for an account, and then eventually you will be allowed access (It sucks but that’s how it is)
• Make sure you always log into the E-Hentai website FIRST before accessing ExHentai otherwise it won’t work
• If you still can’t access the site, you most likely went to ExHentai when you weren’t logged in to E-Hentai. Make sure you delete your cookies for BOTH
E-Hentai and ExHentai (search how to delete cookies for your specific browser online), restart your browser, and then log in to E-Hentai first.
• If it still doesn’t work, delete ALL cookies and history from your browser, restart the browser, and try logging into E-Hentai again before accessing ExHentai.
How to Find Sources for Porn You Find Online
Finding the source of porn you find online can be useful if you want to find the original higher quality versions or see more stuff from a specific pornstar, artist, or character.
For real life images/gifs/webms:
Download/copy the image, or copy the URL and paste it onto these websites
Yandex – Great for both finding higher quality versions and finding similar content
For hentai/R34 images/gifs/webms:
Download/copy the image, or copy the URL and paste it onto these websites
Saucenao – Excellent for finding original sources, such as on Pixiv and Twitter
iqdb – For finding source on boorus
For video:
Unfortunately there aren’t any sites where you can just paste the url and find the source like with images, so finding the sources for videos requires a bit more
work:
• Check to see if there’s any comments on it and see if someone already asked for the source and if anyone answered
• Get any info you can on the video that’s already there, like the title, names, tags, etc, and search for those online for more results that are hopefully related to the porn you found
• Check the uploader’s other videos to see if they’ve uploaded a similar video with more information
• Ask the uploader if they have the original source
• Ask in the video’s comments and hope that someone will answer
• If all of the above doesn’t work, you could try asking some communities specifically for requesting sources of porn, such as these subreddits:
How to Protect Your Privacy and Be Safe While Looking at Porn
I know it probably sounds boring if you just want to fap to porn, but due to the sensitive and often controversial nature surrounding pornography and even laws
banning it in certain countries, you should at least take basic actions to protect your privacy while looking at porn online.
If not for legal reasons, at least so that people you know aren’t able to see that you’ve been looking at things like “bitch gets her booty DESTROYED by multiple monster black cocks” or “cock starved slut gulps down man milk by the gallon”
This list starts from the most basic stuff *everyone* should probably be doing if they look at porn, to more secure measures to prevent companies that sell your data from seeing it, to bypassing government-imposed blocks and protecting yourself if you live in a country where porn is illegal.
All of this information can be found in more detail on:
*This list is NOT sponsored by anyone or anything, this information and the recommendations on it come from my personal experience along with research.
Privacytools.io is also a highly respected non-profit online privacy information source.
1. Deleting browser history and cookies, incognito or private mode, and passwording
The first step to avoid having people see that you’ve been looking at porn is to make sure you’ve deleted all your browser history and cookies after looking at
porn, or just simply use the “incognito” or “private mode” of your browser whenever you look at porn. Incognito/Private mode basically auto-deletes any
search and browsing history along with cookies once you close the private window.
Make sure to put secure passwords on your computer/phone and all accounts you use for porn and don’t share them with anyone. Using the same password for
everything is an extremely bad idea, but coming up with and remembering secure passwords can be a hassle, so it’s recommended you use a password manager like Bitwarden. Bitwarden is one of the best and most secure when it comes to password managers; it’s completely free, auto generates secure passwords, and saves all your passwords in one secure place. It also has a browser extension that auto-fills your login information on websites and a mobile version as well.
For more info and options on password managers visit:
privacytools.io/software/passwords
2. No Google, privacy respecting browsers and search engines, and adblocker and other privacy extensions
Now that you’ve protected yourself from the people around you seeing your porn habits, the next step is to protect yourself from companies that track and sell your information from seeing your porn habits, and to block annoying advertisements that may contain malware along the way.
Tons of companies online, Google especially, try to collect as much information on you as possible: Your search history, browsing history and habits, and even your location. They collect this information to sell to a multitude of advertising companies so that they can compose a profile on you. This information may be
used for ethically questionable purposes and/or be leaked to the public.
For that reason it is advised to NOT use Google to search for porn. Duckduckgo is a popular alternative search engine dedicated to not tracking your search history or what you do online, and you should probably set it as the main search engine of your browser as well.
You should also basically avoid anything Google related when it comes to porn (or in general), Chrome is a browser made by Google. An alternative browser that respects your privacy is Firefox.
There are 4 browser extensions that should be essential for everyone using the internet, regardless of whether they’re looking at porn or not. All of these
extensions work as soon as you install them and then you can forget about them.
HTTPS Everywhere – Requests the HTTPS version of every website you visit. HTTPS is the secure, encrypted version of the HTTP protocol. Basically, it prevents people on your network from snooping on what you’re browsing, among other safety features
uBlock Origin – An efficient ad-blocker that is open source and doesn’t have any predatory monetization, unlike Adblock Plus
Privacy Badger – Blocks trackers on websites that allow advertisers and other third-parties from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at
Decentraleyes – Stops additional tracking due to complicated technical reasons, but works seamlessly. If you’d like the more technical explanation of how it works, just read the additional info on the extension page for your browser
Additional privacy related extensions can be found at:
privacytools.io/browsers/#addons
3. Separate Identities or Alting
It’s not a good idea to use your real name or accounts tied to your real name for porn specific purposes, so it’s advised that you separate your identity or use an
“alt” for things dealing with NSFW stuff.
You do this by using a pseudonym of your choice when making accounts for porn (not a username you already use for non-NSFW stuff ideally). And don’t use your main email to sign up for accounts, because then it can still be traced back to you even with the pseudonym.
Start by creating a new email with a secure email service (remember no Google!), ProtonMail is an excellent choice since it’s free, fully encrypted, and requires no personal information to create a new email account.
You can take this idea of separating your porn self from your main self as far as you want, the more you separate your identities, the more private and secure you are. Separate user accounts on your PC, separate browsers, only using a VPN when logging into porn related accounts, etc.
Firefox has a neat extension that lets you separate different identities in different “containers”, those containers have their own contained cookies, logins, etc. So you can be safely logged in on PornHub while also being logged in on a different container with Facebook at the same time, and not have Facebook see that you’ve been on PornHub:
blog.mozilla.org/firefox/introducing-firefox-multi-account-containers
4. VPN
A VPN or (Virtual Private Network) is a very useful tool for privacy among other things, but unlike the advertisements you’ve likely seen from them, a VPN won’t
automatically “make you 100% anonymous” and isn’t a substitute for the previous and more important ways to stay private online that are listed above.
Essentially what a VPN does is route all your internet traffic through their servers in various countries, that then connect to whatever you want to do online. This
makes it so that no one (apart from the VPN provider itself) knows what you’re connecting to, and wherever the VPN server you’re using is located, that’s what
the receiving end of the connection is going to think you’re from.
Possible reasons you would want to use a VPN (which mostly suit our purposes for viewing porn) are:
• Hiding your internet traffic from public or compromised Wi-Fi networks
• Hiding your internet traffic from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) which can sell your traffic data to third parties, throttle your connection to certain websites, or hand over your traffic data to your government.
• Hiding your downloads (such as torrents) from your ISP and anti-piracy organizations.
• Disguising your IP and country of origin from websites, services and apps which may or may not leak that data to the public, willingly or accidental.
• Bypassing country-specific blocks on websites and services such as Netflix or bypassing authoritarian government-imposed internet censorship
Some respected and popular VPN services are:
ExpressVPN – Fastest VPN with servers in 94 countries: $100/year
NordVPN – Very fast and relatively cheap VPN with servers in 58 countries: $82/year or $123 for 3 years
Mullvad VPN – Cheap and extremely secure open-source VPN with servers in 35 countries: $60/year
ProtonVPN – Extremely secure open-source VPN with servers in 44 countries: $96/year
FREE version of ProtonVPN – Medium speed and only has servers in the US, Netherlands, and Japan, but one of the only free VPNs out there that are actually
reasonably safe and secure to use
However most of this relies upon you trusting the VPN provider. VPN providers can see and modify your traffic the same way your ISP could, and there is no real
way to verify if a VPN provider’s “no logging” policies are actually true. However, with the respected VPNs listed above, one can reasonably trust that they handle your traffic responsibly will not sell or willingly give your traffic data to third parties. But it is recommended that you still do your research on these companies
yourself.
The vast majority of Free VPNs are absolutely not secure. There are many documented occurrences where these free VPNs providers were discovered selling the traffic data of their users to third parties, making them essentially worse than useless. The popular saying “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product” describes this well.
5. Encryption and hiding files
If you’re saving porn on your computer and you’ve taken the previously listed steps of locking access to your PC with a password, if you want to have additional security, or you share your PC with other users, you might want to consider encrypting your porn and/or computer. It surprisingly it takes little knowledge or skill to encrypt stuff and is pretty straightforward.
This works differently depending on if you have Windows or a Mac, so I’ll split this up based on that.
*Your encrypted content is only as strong as your password. Use an extremely strong password!!!
For Windows users:
Windows doesn’t have a built-in truly secure encryption software, so you’ll need to install VeraCrypt, a free and trusted encryption software.
How to create an encrypted “volume” containing your folders and/or encrypt your entire drive with VeraCrypt:
After encrypting your porn folder and/or your computer, it still is a good idea to hide your porn folder so that it’s not easily visible. All you need to do is right click the folder, click “properties”, and then select “hidden” and apply the change.
To view this file again, just click the “view” tab on file explorer’s ribbon and click the “hidden items” checkbox in the show/hide section. File explorer will then immediately show any hidden files and will remember this setting until you change it, so make sure to switch it off after.
