    I hate PornHub search so much. I’m sure it used to work at some point in the past but now it’s completely useless. The only way to find something interesting for me is to scroll through garbage, click at anything even remotely promising, scroll through similar videos, click at anything even remotely promising, scroll through similar videos… Eventually I will usually find what I’m looking for - it is there but it’s fucking unsearchable for whatever reason. And mind you, I’m not into very niche stuff at all.

    Good thing I have a girlfriend now and I barely ever touch porn anymore.

      I feel like both adult sites and YouTube keep their search terrible on purpose to keep you on their sites longer so they get more ad revenue

      Make an account. Their algorithm is pretty good. And you can view just your subscriptions (à la YouTube).

        I don’t want subscriptions, nor an algorithm. I want results for my search phrase. This technology exists for decades at this point. It should just work.

        IMO their algorithm is ass. The front page is always all plastic titties and shitty step-porn and I actively click "not interested’ on those.

        Subscribing to channels/creators is useful enough to warrant creating an account though. I do wish the subs page wasn’t so limited

    I’m no expert but if you’ve been scrolling that long… that could be a sign of porn addiction. It means no other videos else could satisfy you.

      having taste is not a sign of porn addiction. maybe the over produced step garbage is fine for you, but some of us want to see some actual pleasure and feeling in our porn. i want to watch people having sex, not watch people pantomiming having sex and pretending theyre enjoying it.

      80% of porn is an active turn off for me. Male POV, fake shrieking, obviously uncomfortable women, gross long nails, painful looking implants, people who sound or look like children…the list goes on and on. Hence the endless scrolling. It’s the opposite of addiction.

      It’s probably a sign that there’s no intimacy in porn and most of it is just awful.

      Also, speaking as a Film & TV grad, lots of it is filmed in the dumbest angles

      Oh and they use wide lenses for close-ups, which distorts the performers’ bodies

      Anyway, long story short, it doesn’t look real

    go look at the vintage stuff compared to today. Quality HAS gone down, TBF. It’s the difference between wanting to be there and doing it for the money, really.
