The Top Ethical Porn Sites To Check Out

Trying to find porn that doesn't compromise on your personal values is tough. The mainstream sites hardly prioritise female empowerment - if anything, quite the opposite.

Often women are degraded, virginity is fetishised, and the overview outlook is catered to the straight male gaze.

Ethical porn is very different. It's paid for, which means it's safer for your device but more importantly, suggests performers are treated and paid fairly. The storylines are more female-friendly too, with any domination or submission being clearly consensual.

You might not have ever heard of it or know where to go, so we've put a handy list together to take out the guess work. If porn sites have always been off-putting or felt taboo, ethical porn is likely to make you feel much more at ease.

These are our top places to look for a self-pleasure session that don't make you feel morally gross afterwards.
