The 11 Best Porn Subreddits to Explore Kinks and Fetishes

What are some different types of kinks, and where does one go to learn about these fetishes? Data has proven in recent years that most of us are kinkier than we let on. By definition, sexual kinks are unique interests within the realm of sexuality, sometimes involving narratives or sexual situations, and other times involving objects or animation. If you suspect you might have latent kinks you’ve yet to explore, Reddit is a pretty great place to feel out the limits of your comfort zone.

efore you jump on a kink-related dating app or open up your relationship to cuckolding, explore your proclivities safely by watching other people do it. These are 11 of the most interesting and active porn subreddits dedicated to specific kinks. Even if you don’t find yourself aroused by all of them, you’ll hopefully walk away from your porn-viewing session with a deeper understanding of what makes humans tick.

The images in this post are all safe for work, but please do realize the links to the subreddits will take to you NSFW (not safe for work) territory.

r/joip

The “jerk off instruction” (JOI) fetish is, like any other sexual proclivity, inspired by a combination of factors. The kink boils down to a person with a penis “having sex with someone who is very focused on your pleasure.” The performer onscreen can be a little condescending with the viewer or they’re loving and adoring, but the key, regardless of tone, is that they’re very vocal about what typically happens when one watches porn.

The r/joi community is actually one of the more emotionally intelligent groups of porn-sharing redditors because their kink has so much to do with tone of voice. You may find by watching some of the videos that your “kink” is POV porn, or you may discover that you like a partner who’s more dominant or submissive. Pay attention to the way performers are speaking to you, and ask yourself what you find most exciting.

By paying attention to what is most exciting to you in these videos, you might discover you like a partner who’s more dominant or submissive, or it could be your first foray into POV porn.

r/kinbaku

Kinbaku is the Japanese art of tying women up using intricate rope patterns, and it’s estimated that the practice first gained popularity in the 1600s. Unlike BDSM pornography involving bondage, kinbaku porn tends to focus on the act of tying someone up — whereas many BDSM videos begin with a woman already restrained.

There are at least two active participants in most kinbaku porn, one controlling the beautifully tied ropes and the other lovingly submitting to the rope-bearer’s will. Those tied up are often suspended above the ground and left to hang, and the act is often carried out in front of crowds of onlookers. For a non-pornographic example, check out 2016’s The Handmaiden.

The 11 Best Porn Subreddits to Explore Kinks and Fetishes

r/vore

Vore became a topic of pop culture debate in 2017 when it was theorized that a popular Disney-Pixar Tumblr called Constable+Frozen had been using the fetish in sneaky ways. At its core, vore is about sexualizing consumption, but it doesn’t have to involve gore or pain. A 2013 study inArchives of Sexual Behavior concluded by interviewing voreaphilliacs that the fetish is often tied to masochism or loneliness. In some ways, it’s about wanting to merge with someone so completely that you are never alone again.

Vore porn is usually animated or hand-drawn, and it’s more about consuming someone (or being consumed) than literally eating human flesh. Vore can also be playful about the idea of involving food in sex — essentially it’s about recognizing that our desire to consume is often as powerful as sexual desire.

r/cuckoldcaptions

Even if you’re unaware of the cuckolding fetish, you’re probably familiar with the term as its used by men’s rights theorists and incels. Without passing the judgment that the patriarchy often does, men who enjoy being cuckolded feel aroused when their partners bend (or break) the limits of monogamy.

For a safe experimentation with this practice, r/cuckoldcaptions pairs typical texts a cuckold might receive from his wily, unfaithful partner with erotic photos of women in sexual situations. The product, of course, is the simulation of being “cheated on,” and you can decide in the moment how it makes you feel.

r/superheroporn

It’s hard to whittle down all erotic imagery involving superheroes into a subsection — there’s cosplay porn, erotic fan art, original canon art, and deepfake porn using live action film stars — but r/superheroporn tries to include bits of everything. Simply put, if something about tight clothing and vigilantism gets you excited, this subreddit is worth perusal. If you’re searching for a specific character, you may be better off searching their name on Tumblr, where users are much more likely to focus in on a single figure in the fandom.

r/treesgonewild

At this point, most people have heard of Reddit’s r/gonewild and its many off-shoots. r/treesgonewild, like r/trees and r/entwives, specializes in posts intended for cannabis-lovers. Some people are so into weed that they’re constantly devising ways to use it in every situation, and these redditors have taken that to its logic end-point: porn.

If you’re a person who watches porn and you also happen to identify as a habitual cannabis user, it’s probably worth a look.

r/wifesharing

This kink can be quite similar to cuckolding, but it often has a 1970s swinger twist. That is, some wife-sharing groups like to have sex together in a single room, and others like to prolong the arrangement, dating in pairs until they find a couple down to experiment. Cuckolding is more about eroticising the sensation of male powerlessness, whereas wife-sharing is more like an erotic business partnership. Cuckolds, for instance, don’t often meet the man who “uses” their female partner, but wife-sharing encourages camaraderie.

r/nekomimi

One part furry fandom and one part hentai, the nekomimi kink focuses on manga-style drawings of human women with cat ears. There are male characters who have cat ears — who can forget Inuyasha? — but r/nekomimi focuses primarily on female characters. If you’re a reader who likes the general concept of nekomimi but prefers men, check out the Tumblr users who put animated cat ears on Marvel superheroes.

r/ecchi

Ecchi is Japanese slang for playful, flirtatious actions, and it’s sometimes used by fans to describe “fan service,” which is winking imagery in an anime that suggests its creators know what fans want to see. Slash ecchi might nod toward a flirtation between characters of the same gender, and hetero ecchi might manifest in silly plot-twists which require a character to strip down. Chris Evans famously pushed for an example of fan service while filmingCaptain America: Winter Soldier when he asked the Russo brothers to let him film a stunt shirtless. (They said no, by the way.)

The r/ecchi subreddit is NSFW but not 100 percent pornographic. It’s mostly a collection of moments of anime when creators acknowledged their fan-base with flirtatious, silly imagery. For decades, this meant framing a female character in a compromising way, making the outline of her body obvious to the viewer. A more modern and progressive example is all the care taken in animatingYuri!!! On Ice to make every male character’s butt look shapely.

r/nsfwasmr

Perhaps you know what ASMR is — relaxing videos which use sonic cues or “triggers” — but you’ve always thought you were the only person to find the videos erotic. First of all, what are you, nuts? Ofcourse ASMR is erotic; a vast majority of ASMRtists are beautiful women, and they make money filming their lips and hands while speaking softly. That’s extremely arousing for many viewers, regardless of whether the ASMRtist is consciously making erotica.

This ASMR subreddit leans fully into the latent sexuality of the genre, including purposefully erotic ASMR videos alongside videos made by artists with unclear intentions. Some ASMRtists mark their content NSFW, for example, and others simply couch their erotic videos in their collection of non-erotic content. Either way, this subreddit is where you’ll find ASMR videos that make you feel tingly in more ways than one.

r/BoredandIgnored

This subreddit in particular hosts gifs and short videos of women being penetrated or receiving oral sex while they concentrate on a non-erotic task. Younger performers talk on the phone, text, or play video games, and older performers fold laundry and do MILF-y household tasks.

There are many different versions of the “bored and ignored” kink, and it sort of rubs up against a lot of erotic fantasies. You might enjoy this porn board if you suspect you’re a sexual subordinate looking for a dominant woman, or you might like the imagery because you’re into the r/freeuse fantasy, in which women are constantly available for sex and don’t really care either way who it involves.
