= Fetish/BDSM =

'''Stocks''' features performers restrained in stocks. It is commonly used in foot fetish pornography, where a performer has their feet cast in stocks as their feet are being licked or tickled by another performer.

'''Japanese rope bondage''' is distinguished by its use of specific katas (forms) and aesthetic rules. Sometimes, asymmetric and often intentionally uncomfortable positions are employed to heighten the psychological impact of the bondage.

'''Facesitting''' when one partner sits on the other's face.  This usually involves oral sex but can simply be an act of dominance, or a part of breathplay.

'''Rough sex pornography''' is similar to pornography featuring sadomasochism, and typically features a Top who humiliates and/or degrades a Bottom while being physically violent towards them. Typically featured are hitting, choking, name-calling and hair-pulling. Many of these activities might be based on rape.

'''Guro''' or '''Gore''' is a genre of Japanese pornography involving blood, gore, disfiguration, violence, mutilation, urine, enemas, or feces.

'''Bukkake''' pornography involves a performer, usually female, onto whom several men or women (see Squirting) ejaculate, usually on the face.

'''Felching''' involves sucking semen from the vagina or anus and drinking it.

'''Menstrual or "red rhapsody"''' pornography features sexual activities involving women who are menstruating, with a focus on the menstrual blood.

'''Crying''' pornography that features participating actors crying.

'''Foot fetish''' pornography features heavy emphasis on the feet of the participants, either in combination with kissing and genital sex or in the context of acts such as trampling or crush fetishism.

'''Papilophilia''' is pornography centred around nipples and areolae.

'''Rubber/Latex''' pornography where the performers are wearing costumes made of latex, which usually covers the whole body often with openings for the vagina, anus, mouth and eyes.

'''Transvestite''' pornography features performers who cross-dress for sexual gratification, either for themselves or for their partners. Many men who like trans partners of any variety, known as tranny chasers, don't necessarily identify as gay themselves. This is why video stores might consider stocking transvestite subject matter in the straight section, as some straight men will have passive or active sex with another man as long as their partner appears to look like a woman to them, to some minor or major degree.

'''Arcane or occult''' pornography involves sexualized situations with an occult or magical tone or performers who costume themselves in keeping with the theme (for example, a male performer dressed as a wizard).
