Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the adult industry is always happy to prove you wrong.
Now, I’m sure you’ve encountered some weird porn categories on your merry rounds… maybe even bookmarked one or two out of morbid curiosity… but chances are you’ve only scratched the surface.
However “varied” you think sexual fetishes are… you can safely multiply that number by ten. There really is porn for every kink.
If you can think it, someone has almost certainly filmed it… uploaded it… and found an audience for it.
In our list below we take a look at some truly weird types of porn – from comically obscure sub-genres, to “Well, that’s just fucked up, buddy.” And from those obsessing over Japanese newscasters, to men actively shopping for a toothless granny, the porn industry truly does have something for everyone…
12 Weird Porn Categories
We’ll skip the basics – I assume you already know your BDSM from your POV porn!
This isn’t a beginner’s guide, and it’s definitely not a moral judgement. You can think of it more as a slap-dash guided tour through the stranger corners of the adult industry.
Let’s dive right into the offbeat subcultures and thriving platforms behind the industry’s strangest niches…
1. Furries
I’ll start with one of the best known fetishes, mostly because it’s the one people think they understand, right up until they actually look at how big and self-sustaining the fandom really is.
Yes, we’re talking about anthropomorphic animals… furries.
Furry porn is made up of cartoonish animal characters with human traits (“anthros”), often in lavish fur-suits, getting frisky in art sequences and lewd animations. It’s bizarre to outsiders, but make no mistake: furries have built a multi-million-dollar creative economy around commissioned art, erotica, and (particularly) games.
The community aspect is huuuuuge: conventions like Anthrocon or Midwest FurFest host fursuit dance competitions by day and, rumor has it, a productive after-hours “yiff” scene by night.
Online, furry porn artists are rock stars on Patreon and FurAffinity, sometimes earning five figures a month drawing custom yiff art.
Unlike mainstream porn, furry adult content is overwhelmingly created by individual artists… not studios.
While you can certainly find some furry porn on the tube sites, this is one of those fetishes where the community still pulls rank over “big money” top-down publishing.
2. Cumming On Figurines
Oh boy, where to begin with this?
First of all, on the surface, it’s no more complex than it sounds. This fetish is quite literally the act of ejaculating onto a figurine of some sort.
The type of figurine in question can be anything from a Barbie to a G.I. Joe. Anything you can imagine really. In fact, there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to the phenomenon (with over 24,000 weekly visitors).
There are even subgenres within the subgenre.
For example, Nintendo produces a line of figurines called Amiibos which features popular characters from their games. As you’re probably already (unwillingly) imagining, there are a plethora of videos featuring semen drenched Princess Peach figurines.
Whatever floats your boat, man!
For a lot of fans, figurines already carry emotional, financial, and symbolic weight:
- They’re expensive
- They’re curated
- They represent idealized characters (anime women, monsters, or hyper-feminine forms…)
- They’re meant to be pristine.
COF flips that on its head.
One collector I spoke to put it bluntly:
“It’s hotter because I shouldn’t be doing it to something that cost me £300.”
No, mate, you probably shouldn’t. 😳
3. Sploshing
Ever watch a sloppy pie-in-the-face gag and think, “Jeez, why are my loins burning a fucking hole in my jeans?”
If not, welcome to the world of… sploshing, also known as WAM (the Wet and Messy fetish).
This is the art of getting turned on by being covered in substances – typically foods like pudding, whipped cream, syrup, full-on cakes – or mud, paint, slime, whatever.
Imagine a nude partner flapping about in a kiddie pool of baked beans or a dominatrix pouring custard over a sub’s body. It’s part fetish, part Get Your Own Back gunge-fest.
There are many underlying theories for why this fetish exists, but most boil down to:
- loss of control
- embarrassment / playfulness
- acute sensory overload
Sploshing existed in printed fetish magazines as far back as the 1970s and 80s. More recently, the trend has seeped over to TikTok where the #sploshing tag has racked up an impressive seven million views over the last 12 months.
Beyond WAM, there is a related adjacent fetish that we could best describe as… food play.
If this shoe fits, wear it.
Or, in this case, if the cucumber fits, insert it.
Produce with a phallic shape is obviously a more likely candidate for this fetish, but many practitioners don’t discriminate. In fact, some members of the BDSM community take part in a pastime called figging.
This involves carving a ginger root into the appropriate shape and using it as a buttplug.
Spicy!
4. Lactation
Everyone knows that milk can be good for the bones, but did you know it can also be good for the boner?
Ok, well, maybe not for MOST, but there are definitely some people who go in for this sort of thing.
Typically, fans of this type of porn fall into either the ANR (adult nursing relationship) or paraphilic infantilist subcategories. The former is someone who just straight up likes to nurse as an adult, and the latter is a grown man who likes to be treated like a baby.
It’s the opposite of the hyper-controlled, surgically perfected porn body. Lactation porn is messy, unpredictable, and biologically assertive in a way modern porn usually avoids.
Surprisingly, this type of porn is actually quite popular and easy to find.
A quick Pornhub search will yield thousands upon thousands of hits.
Likewise, the main Lactation subreddit (NSFW) has over 600K subscribers and 90,000+ weekly visitors.
It’s not just popular on the porn sites, though.
Lactation is also a high-end ‘premium request’ on private cam sites.
Lactating performers can charge higher per-minute rates, plus a premium for custom videos. I’ve spoken to cam models who said lactation periods were actually their highest-earning months – without changing anything else about their content!
5. Clowns
Clowns are a deep, primal fear for some folks.
What you might not be aware of is that they also get some people quite hot and bothered.
Clown porn ranges from two people dressed like clowns getting it on to elaborate clown-based scenarios. On occasion, one might see classic clown paraphernalia like rubber chickens and bowling pins.
If this is your thing, these sorts of videos are likely a real treat. However, if you’re scared of clowns, this is truly the stuff nightmares are made of…
Personally, I’d love to see a take on the classic trope of backseat sex, but in a clown car. I could probably find that, but I refuse to type it into a search bar. My recommended videos will be out of whack for weeks.
Still, the data has forced me to take this fetish semi-seriously: during the big creepy clown sighting craze of 2016, Pornhub reported clown porn searches spiked 213%. Even more surprisingly, women were 33% more likely to search for clown action than men.
It’s relatively small as a fetish, certainly commercially, and more of a sporadic trend than a lifestyle. You won’t find ClownCon… and if it exists, I both do and don’t want to know.
6. Menstruation
There’s not a lot to this one. Most people have probably experienced it in real life, and if it’s not your thing, that’s okay. Blood makes some people squeamish.
But for some… it really hits the spot.
Menstruation porn can be as simple as just portraying the act… but some of it gets pretty in depth.
Most of the arousal comes from intimacy… access to something culturally hidden. For some, it’s about contamination, disgust/desire crossover, or the thrill of breaking a rule so deeply ingrained that most people don’t even question it.
Finding this content can be difficult on the major porn platforms. That’s because menstruation triggers multiple moderation tripwires. Even when content is clearly consensual and adult-only, it often gets removed under vague “hygiene” or “graphic” rules…
With that said, many clip stores have the niche well covered.
The infamous Clips4Sale platform has hundreds of menstruation shorts available to buy, ranging from a couple of dollars to $40+(!).
7. Toothless Grannies
If you were disturbed by the thought of menstruation porn, you might want to skip over this one lest the memory of Mamaw Doris be forever besmirched.
While you’re likely familiar with granny porn in general… the toothless granny fetish reaches new heights.
It’s actually been around for a long time, known as the gummer fetish – and it sits somewhere between geriatric fetishism, oral fixation, and humiliation play.
While normal granny porn is pretty uncomfortable on its own, this adds this element of brandishing about dentures while doing the deed. Naturally, this makes the whole affair feel considerably weirder.
One could certainly imagine certain physical sensations being enhanced by toothlessness, but the overall vibe is just… not for moi.
Understandably, you won’t find much polished studio output here. As ever, though, clip stores have a ton of amateur toothless porn available – and if you’re patient, you’ll find some limited crossover with the GILF niche.
8. Japanese Newscasters
Compared to some of the heavier entries on this list, this one almost feels… playful. Which is deceptive, because it’s also one of the most deliberately constructed niches Japan has ever produced. And, as we know, Japanese porn is fucking weird.
On paper, this fetish is simple enough: an attractive Japanese woman styled as a TV newscaster, seated behind a desk, delivering headlines while getting railed or baited with cock. That alone would barely qualify as a fetish category. Porn has been putting women in uniforms forever, right?
Ultimately, though, it goes beyond an attractive Japanese woman dressed up like a newscaster and doing the dirty.
Sometimes, the woman makes an honest attempt to accurately deliver the news while engaging in the act. Straight-faced, professional cadence intact, as if nothing unusual is happening below the desk. It’s bordering on the hilarious to watch.
But the fetish works over there because Japanese news anchors occupy a very specific cultural space. These women are supposed to be polished, restrained, reassuring. Authority figures… without overt power. Voice steady, posture perfect, eyes locked to camera…
And this is where some porn director thought: “Okay, now what if we porked her?“
Gotta admire the creativity!
Wondering where you can sample this fetish?
You don’t have to stray far – just search any of the major porn tubes for Japanese News Anchor Porn or Japanese News Cast Porn.
9. Quicksand
Here’s one I never saw coming: quicksand fetishists.
Yes, there are people (mostly dudes) who get aroused by the sight of someone (usually a woman) stuck and slowly sinking in mud, clay or quicksand.
It’s funny because if we go back to the mid-20th century, quicksand peril was everywhere in movies… it was one of those overdone tropes, cropping up in dozens of films. In fact, some reports suggest you could find quicksand in one out of every 35 Hollywood movies!
According to Vice, there’s an aging but devoted community of quicksand enthusiasts who trade specialized videos and even meet for muddy role-play in secluded bogs (yes, I shit you not). One producer I read about whilst researching this post literally built a backyard quagmire pit to film sinks and charges fans per custom dunking.
WTF.
My mother always told me to “stay away from quicksand“…. not dive straight in with my cock out.
To each his own, I guess.
To my surprise (and perhaps relief), most of the quicksand porn content on the web appears to be digitally animated. If you’re going to actually film this stuff, you better have a damn good safety crew on hand.
10. Giantess
Have you dreamt of being shrunk to the size of a mouse in a world of towering Amazons?
That’s macrophilia, the fetish for giants… and it’s very active – with Clips4Sale recently reporting “giantess” as one of the top kink search terms on its entire site.
The giantess fetish is one we’ve covered pretty extensively here on AdultVisor, with a recent deep dive into some very popular giantess porn options. The niche has exploded… and nobody seems to know why?!
Pornhub’s own data once showed a 1091% surge in giantess-related searches in a single year.
Given these numbers, it’s no surprise that the fetish is so well-supported within the industry. Case in point: we have SizeCon, an annual convention for size-fetish devotees to meet up and… compare sizes, I guess? If you ever see the acronym “GTS” online, that’s giantess-speak.
With CGI and VR, the fetish is more accessible than ever… I’ve seen creators concoct scenarios of skyscraper-sized ladies stomping through cities (like above), or even selfie-style videos where a woman torments her prey “I could just squish you between my toes.”
It’s bizarre, sure, but also kind of artful. The downside is that, because reality offers zero actual giantesses, this fetish lives in fiction – it’s mighty difficult to “act out”, unless you have a brave wife and some stilts.
11. Balloons
The balloon fetish (often referred to as looning) is a big one.
It revolves around sexual arousal from balloons. Inflating them. Rubbing them. Sitting on them. And, for a particular subset of maniacs… popping them at the point of no return.
Yes, really.
There are actually two opposing camps here:
Poppers, who live for the explosive finale… and non-poppers, who treat balloons like fragile lovers and avoid bursting them at all costs.
The appeal is a strange cocktail of:
- tension and anticipation
- sensory stimulation (texture, squeaking… latex smell?)
- control vs loss of control
Some fans trace it back to childhood birthday parties and fear-based adrenaline responses. Others just like the way a balloon feels between their thighs and there’s not much more to it than that!
12. Living Dolls
And finally, we end on something that’s less gross-out weird and more… quietly unsettling?
The living doll fetish is all about transformation – or more specifically, turning a real human into something artificial, passive and ornamental.
Think along the lines of mannequins, porcelain dolls, latex Barbies, wind-up toys….
Blank expressions. Stiff posture. Sometimes full-body latex suits or masks to erase individuality entirely.
In most cases, the “doll” isn’t meant to react. They exist to be posed, displayed, admired, and used like a piece of sex furniture.
It’s kind of like an extreme variation of the freeuse fantasy, but it has obvious crossover with the objectification fetish, dollification and even extreme submission.
Many of the guides around this topic come straight from the BDSM community – but in terms of adult content, you can find dollification content on all of the major tube sites.
The first instances of this fetish in porn date back to the 1970s, when it came to prominence through several European photo shoots. Just like many of the fetishes on this list, it has exploded on the clip sites since then.
Any weird porn categories we’ve missed? Got a favorite fetish to bamboozle us with?
Let’s hear it!
