Pornhub launches brand new site exclusively for women
Tired of seeing men plastered all over your screen whenever you're trying to get it on?
Well, Pornhub has just the answer for that.
Launching earlier this week, the adult content platform confirmed the creation of Pornhub Sapphic (yes, that is the site's actual name), which will exclusively platform lesbian and non-binary content.
The website is Pornhub's second attempt at creating a sister website devoid of heterosexual pornography, Mashable states that 'Pornhub Gay' has been around for a few years, and allows LGBTQ+ people a more tailored experience when searching for x-rated content.
Advert
Of course, these videos are still available on the main website, but it allows users the opportunity to browse videos without seeing male-targeted ads, such as penis enlargement promos.
An experience 'built for the female gaze,' you might say.
"Pornhub Sapphic was created in direct response to feedback from lesbian, queer, and straight women who told us they wanted an experience that felt made for them," Pornhub's vice president of brand and community, Alex Kekesi, said of the venture.
The website comes off the back of data revealing that around a third of Pornhub's daily visitors were women. According to the 2019 statistics, female users' most-viewed category was 'lesbian'.
Meanwhile, 2025 viewing figures revealed a rise in popularity for categories such as 'lesbian scissoring,' 'lesbian MILF,' and 'lesbian strapon' as well as 'transgender' and 'bisexual'.
However, details about who was viewing these categories were not revealed.
"By working with creators and users, we've built a space where women-loving-women content is featured and celebrated," she continued.
"For viewers, it's about providing women with a dedicated place to explore and enjoy adult entertainment with their experiences and desires in mind."
A focus on female pleasure
The website is likely to appeal to straight women as well, as a 2025 study revealed that categories such as 'lesbian' are popular with straight women due to having a more realistic depiction of sex.
The research found 'five key themes' which explain this: focusing on women’s pleasure, relatability, lack of degradation, authenticity, fantasy and experimentation.
Meanwhile, there have been increasing concerns about how pornography shapes people's expectations in the bedroom, with research published by LADbible last year revealing that pornography was one in two people's first exposure to sex.
There are also concerns about how mainstream pornography impacts women's safety, with the UK government launching a crackdown on content which depicts strangulation or suffocation.
"There’s no safe way to do it," health psychologist Jane Meyrick previously told The Guardian about sexual choking, while research published by Bangor University found that non-fatal strangulation is the second most common cause of stroke in women under 40.
