By physical characteristics of participants

Age

  • Big Cock Porn featuring men with large penises.
  • Big butt pornography features women with large buttocks . This genre eroticizes the buttocks and anus, and often overlaps with anal pornography .
  • Hairy pornography involves conspicuous amounts of body and/or pubic hair. Because of the increased trend toward total depilation in contemporary pornography, the presence of any pubic hair at all on a model, even when groomed, is sometimes considered as making the model "hairy".
  • Leg pornography has an extreme emphasis on women's legs and feet.
  • Tiny tits pornography features women with very small breasts. These women are often portrayed as teens . There is some overlap between tiny tits pornography, teen pornography .

Race

Race-oriented pornography does not always feature performers who are actually of the race listed in the title. Performers are sometimes billed as being of a certain race, if their facial features, body shape, or skin color fit a publicly accepted idea of what people of that race look like. Some performers are billed as being of one race, and then of another, depending on the film.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual

Men with men

  • Gay pornography is usually male homosexual pornography, sometimes featuring actors that identify as straight (i.e. Gay-for-pay ). Acts depicted typically include oral and anal sex.
  • Bareback pornography features performers who are not wearing condoms.
  • Bear pornography features large hairy men.
  • Twink pornography features young-looking performers.

Women with women

  • Lesbian or girl-girl pornography features women engaged in sex together, but is typically aimed at a male audience. Women who perform in lesbian pornography often do not consider themselves lesbian or bisexual. See also Gay-for-pay .
  • Lesbian pornography made for women is usually made by women, and usually features women who identify as lesbian or bisexual. Lesbian pornography typically features a wider range of appearances and body types than is typical of mainstream pornography. Particularly, some pornography in this genre features butch women, who are almost never seen in mainstream pornography.

Men and women

  • Bisexual pornography features one woman and two men who all perform sex acts on each other. The pornography is geared towards men; hence the word "bisexual" describes the men rather than the woman.
  • Threesome pornography features one man and two women who all perform sex acts on each other. It is geared towards heterosexual men, who would most typically define a threesome as such.

Transsexual people

  • FTM pornography features performers who were born female and who medically transitioned to male. Buck Angel is the best-known example of this genre.
  • Transsexual pornography features performers who were born male and who medically transitioned to female. They are most often featured with male co-stars, but sometimes are featured with other transsexuals or cisgendered women. Common phrases used to refer to these performers are " chicks with dicks " or "she-male", although these are generally considered pejorative among transwomen and in the queer community.
  • Transgender pornography features performers who cross-dress for sexual gratification, either for themselves or for their partners, known as tranny chasers. Many men who like trans partners of any variety don't necessarily identify as gay themselves, even though the sex act is between two genetic males. This is why video stores might consider stocking transgendered subject matter in the straight section, as many straight men will have passive or active sex with another man as long as their partner appears to look like a woman to them, to some minor or major degree.
