According to some sources, the porn industry is one of the strongest economic sectors in the world, valued at over $100 billion per year.
Within this industry, online porn (meaning pornography created exclusively for the web) has become dominant.
Surprisingly, a high number of all existing websites are pornographic. Based on data from services like SimilarWeb, over 300 million people visit porn sites every day (20% of whom are women), and the most important adult platforms also have 3 billion monthly visitors.
As a result, we have expanded and updated the list of the best porn sites of 2023 by personally testing and analyzing the services offered by each, including quality, technology, security, and costs.

Insights
It is estimated that between 5 and 10 percent of existing websites are porn or have indirectly to do with the adult entertainment industry.
There are freemium (with a free part and a paid part) and premium (totally paid) porn sites.
Despite the invasion of porn content (of all types) that can be freely enjoyed online, paid sites offer a more comprehensive experience in terms of video length, interactivity or immersive technologies, and specialization in niche subgenres.
The selection consists of a list of generalist adult sites, porn sites (famous or emerging), porn streaming sites of various genres, and specialized sites in categories and niches.
All of the selected portals offer quality content combined with an excellent user experience (for example, we ‘rejected’ those that clog the video player with aggressive advertisements when trying to start playback).
Best free porn sites
Is online pornography free? Yes and no.
Yes, because of the fact that we now have millions of freely browsable and usable sex videos of all kinds at the click of a mouse, without the need to pay a dime and often without even the need to register with a site.
No, because the huge free catalog of pornography on the Internet is only the tip of a gigantic iceberg. We can freely access the sampling (which, for many, is enough), but the main course, as with any service, is paid for.
Free porn sites, in practice, give access to content whose premium version (for example: uncut, in HD, for virtual reality, with more racy scenes), must be purchased, either directly or through small monthly memberships.
But what are the best free porn sites? The giants are 3:
1. Pornhub
When we say Pornhub, we are talking about the true holy monster of porn sites. It is also referred to by the other portals in the same network, such as YouPorn and RedTube.
On average, the estimated worldwide traffic is more than 2.5 billion users per month.
2. XVideos
XVideos is currently the most popular pornographic content hub in the world.
On average, the estimated worldwide traffic is more than 3 billion users per month.
3. xHamster
xHamster is the third largest porn video-sharing site in the world. It produces, among other things, a TV series that pits men and women who want to break into the porn world against each other: The Sex Factor.
On average, the estimated worldwide traffic is more than 1.1 billion users per month.
DID YOU KNOW? – The same porn sites that are considered free, such as the three we just mentioned, are actually freemium platforms, which alongside a free version of all videos, offer a certain range of premium options to visitors, such as downloading the video itself, VR (virtual reality) version, extended HD version, and so on.
4. Sites like YouPorn (and sites similar to Pornhub)
Following the three global giants of adult entertainment is a cascading list of thousands of sites with free porn content, almost all duplicated by the larger sites, but in some cases with a different browsing experience and perhaps more in line with what one is looking for.
The group of these directories of sex videos and Pornhub-like sites is led by the classic YouPorn and spreads through an endless network of white-label and clone sites, often of low quality.
To navigate this jungle and avoid nasty surprises, the best way is to start with a reliable porn search engine.
As on Google or Bing, on a porn search engine, you can set up a search and, in less than a second, receive the most relevant results, served up by thousands of different and (generally) safe porn sites.
In our opinion, the best porn search engine is PornMD.
List of the best porn sites (by genre)
Behind the giants, there is a vast world of smaller porn sites. They differ in one key aspect: they are platforms with proprietary content (often produced in brand studios), not aggregators for free sharing by users.
In these sites, the material will therefore be exclusive, as well as safe, of high quality and with the ‘plus’ that can be expected from premium services: full-length videos, never censored material, scenes unobtainable among free clips, optimization for virtual reality (increasingly popular).
Among the many, we have made a list of those we value most and consider most reliable, dividing them by genre.
Best LIVE porn sites
For those who like to live hard shows and not just classic videos, more and more sites broadcast uncensored, 24-hour shows of girls, guys, couples, or groups engaged in explicit (and for all tastes) porn performances.
Technically, these are cam sites that, unlike traditional erotic webcam services, allow camgirls to perform without limits in the public part, making these platforms real porn sites, but totally live.

Porn video sites: costs and services
We have seen how the paradigm of free Internet porn is only partially true.
But when it comes to paid sites or freemium services, how much does it cost, and what offerings does an erotic/hardcore video site propose?
First, there are two main models:
- the purchase of the ‘best’ version (longer, uncensored, HD, containing backstage, optimized for virtual reality, and so on) of a free-use clip;
- subscribing to a monthly membership to gain access to all the premium, constantly updated, content of a site.
In the first case, costs can range from a few dollars to $50-60 (many examples of this model can be found on Pornhub and XVideos).
In the second case, a monthly membership can cost from $7-8 to $25-30.
In addition, paid services must meet certain requirements considered must-haves by fans:
- access to exclusive material and scenes that are unobtainable in the albeit endless vastness of free material around the web,
- the constant production and uploading of new material accessible to members,
- the security and privacy of transactions.
Virtual Reality on porn sites
Virtual Reality technology sees the porn world at the forefront.
Pornhub has launched a category of videos optimized for virtual reality: these are videos compatible with Android and iOS and usable through all major VR viewers on the market.
Many other porn sites, generalist or niche, are following this pioneering path (which puts the world of adult entertainment in an even technologically advanced position compared to other industries).
What to date is still a niche premium service will soon become the standard: porn sites fully optimized for virtual reality (and with an even more realistic and immersive experience than at present).
FAQs
What are the best free porn sites?
The top three global sites are XVideos (over 3 billion monthly users), Pornhub (over 2.5), and xHamster (over 1.1). These are platforms for sharing porn videos by users and for aggregating erotic and hardcore material, both free and paid, produced by all the major studios.
What is the difference between free porn sites and paid sites?
In spite of now vast access to free pornography on the Web, most industry sites are built on the freemium model, with paid sections. These may contain exclusive scenes, HD and full-length versions of videos, technology for virtual reality viewers, collectible clips otherwise unavailable, backstage scenes, and video download options.
What is virtual reality (VR) applied to porn sites?
VR-optimized videos, which Pornhub was the first to begin rolling out, allow, through the use of the leading viewers on the market, one to have an immersive, 3-D experience of the porn clip one is watching. Although still in its early days, this new technological approach promises to drastically reshape the enjoyment of porn sites in the coming years.
Conclusion
Welcome to 2023: porn movies, as we have known them for the past 40 years, are dead.
Or rather, they have evolved into something different, fluid, interactive, and open to anyone who wants to try their hand at it in front of a camera (or just a smartphone).
It is estimated that today there are 30 million porn sites in the world, about one-eighth of all published websites. These include not only traditional porn video sites but also, to name just a few examples:
- the erotic webcam sites (both straight and gay-oriented),
- the portals selling real sex dolls,
- the online sex shops selling erotic items of all kinds,
- the marketplaces for fetishists,
- the erotic/sexual dating sites.
…The list could go on and on.
In an industry that globally represents one of the industries with the highest and fastest-growing turnovers, the best porn sites also stand to become pioneers of new technologies and digital innovation in general.

Why you should trust Sexypedia
The sites we have chosen are not the absolute best. However, they are the ones we choose for ourselves, which we have personally tested, and whose audience, security, and longevity data are verifiable through numerous third-party services that certify them.
No one is infallible, of course. Not only that: things change quickly, and every now and then, some design declines or betrays its audience (in Internet porn as in life!).
We pledge to keep this guide as up-to-date as possible and invite those who read it to leave a comment with a supplement or correction if due.
