We share everything with our girlfriends, from the details of our Tinder dates to our latest impulse buys. So, why is porn still too taboo to talk about? Everyone masturbates, and it’s time to break the stigma that stops so many women from enjoying porn.
Masturbation has countless mental and physical benefits—and it’s a great way to chill out after a long day. And when it comes to spicing up your self-pleasure, porn is one of the best tools for the job.
Even though feminist porn is on the rise, it can still feel impossible to find the right porn for you. Don’t worry, we’ve done all the legwork for you. Whether you’re into softcore porn, BDSM, or something kinkier, here’s a guide to the hottest diverse, ethical content for your next self-pleasure session.
Audio Erotica
Contrary to popular belief, not all porn has to be visual. Audio porn is revolutionizing the way we get turned on, and it’s a super-inclusive way to make sexy content more accessible. If you’re not a visual person or like to rely more on your imagination to draw a picture, audio porn might be the perfect fuel for your next self-pleasure sesh.
The best part? There are countless female-produced audio stories out there, with stories ranging from 10 to 20+ minutes and scenarios for every mood. Whether you’re looking for a quick orgasm or a long, relaxing meditative masturbation session, you’re sure to find a sexy, tantalizing story that checks all the boxes.

Real Couple Porn
Let’s face it: most of the climax scenes on Pornhub don’t feel that believable. Real couple porn is all about showing real people having sex, not actors doing things that don’t represent how sex happens IRL. Some subscription-based websites, like Make Love Not Porn, feature couple-submitted videos, where a portion of the proceeds go to the stars themselves.
If you’re looking to sexflix and chill with your partner, real couple porn is a great place to start. It’s a sexy, low-key way to initiate foreplay or mutual masturbation. Plus, you can show your partner exactly what you’re into, which can take your sex life to a whole new dimension.

Erotic Stories & Novels
If you’re more turned on by words than images (or you need quieter porn), try reading an erotic story during your next self-pleasure session. You might visit a literotica site on your phone, read an ebook, or go the traditional route with a paperback (50 Shades of Grey, anyone?).
Whether you’re into sci-fi or group sex, there’s an erotic story out there for you. Unlike mainstream porn, which is usually centered around the body and the act of sex, literotica focuses on storytelling and emotions. Basically, literotica helps ignite your dirtiest thoughts and fantasies for a back-arching, toe-curling climax.
At Indulgent Moments, we even began a free erotica for women section on our blog to make these written fantasies more accessible.
Take some time to dim the lights, grab your favorite vibrator, and play some sensual music to set the vibe for your next literotica sesh. You might just lose yourself in some dirty escapism, find your newest kink, or take your sexual exploration to the next level.

Lesbian Porn
This might come as a surprise, but a lot of women tend to gravitate toward lesbian porn. And no, not just lesbian women. It’s softer on the eyes, and it doesn’t have the same degrading vibe that most porn featuring straight couples has.
While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: No, watching lesbian porn doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a lesbian. Some women have secret fantasies to be dominated or roleplay, but fantasies and porn preferences don’t always translate into your sex life.
Unfortunately, a lot of lesbian porn is actually geared toward men and really unrealistic—from women having huge fake nails (ouch) to women doing nothing but scissoring. If you want more realistic lesbian porn, steer clear of mainstream porn sites like Pornhub and Brazzers when you log on to get off.

Hardcore Porn
With more and more women openly watching porn, female-specific porn is on the rise—but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy porn made for men, too.
In fact, it’s completely normal to enjoy male gaze-oriented porn. On mainstream porn sites, women are flocking to a lot of the same categories that men are. And no, we’re not just talking about lesbian porn. We’re talking about more “extreme” categories, like “rough sex,” “fetish,” and “hardcore.”
Don’t be afraid to embrace your kinkiest fantasies, and don’t feel bad for getting off to porn outside of what is typically suggested for women. It’s not hypocritical to be a feminist who doesn’t like “feminist” porn. Feminism is all about a person’s right to choose—if whatever gets you off involves consenting adults, there’s no shame in watching it.

Figuring Out What Turns You On
Now you know about some of the different types of porn—and you can choose the best option for your next self-pleasure sesh. But what if you’re new to porn or haven’t really explored what’s out there?
Whether you’re venturing into the world of porn for the first time or searching for some new turn-ons, it’s worth exploring different types of genres. “Porn for women” often follows the idea that we all enjoy the same few things—and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. It’s all about finding what gets you off.
Ultimately, finding the right porn is like watching a movie. It usually requires a little bit of research and some trial and error. Lucky for you, there are plenty of places to start your adventure.
