'''Child pornography''' is commonly considered pornography involving children or teenagers who are under the age of consent for sexual relations (although in some countries such as the United Kingdom and United States the definition of child pornography includes subjects at or over the age of consent pretending to be younger). The United States considers any erotic entertainment with people under the age of 18 to be child pornography, even in states where the age of consent is considerably lower than 18 years old. Production, possession, and distribution of child pornography are illegal in many countries. In the countries where child pornography is illegal, simulated photographs ("pseudo-photographs") or lifelike edited images representing child sex are often illegal as well.

== Sexual orientation ==
Pornography features an increasing variety of combinations of actors by their sexual orientation or rather, by the orientation of acts performed, such as lesbian, gay, and bisexual, in addition to more traditional heterosexual roles.  Heterosexual porn accounts for the majority of produced film and video content in the industry.
== Men with men ==
'''Gay''' pornography is usually male homosexual pornography, acts depicted typically include anal or oral sex. Men who perform in mainstream gay pornography often do not consider themselves gay or bisexual. See "Gay-for-pay".
'''Twink''' pornography features younger performers, and usually features young men under 30 who identify as gay or bisexual. Performers are usually clean-shaven, thinner and more effeminate than ones in mainstream gay pornography.
'''Bear''' features a combination of middle-aged, hairy or overweight males.
'''Yaoi male homosexual hentai''' designed to appeal to women and men.
'''Bara male homosexual hentai''' designed to appeal to men.
== Women with women ==
Lesbian or girl-girl pornography features women engaged in sex together, but is typically aimed at a male audience. Women who perform in lesbian pornography often do not consider themselves lesbian or bisexual. See also Gay-for-pay.
'''Lesbian''' pornography made for women is usually made by women, and usually features women who identify as lesbian or bisexual. Lesbian pornography typically features a wider range of appearances and body types than is typical of mainstream pornography. Particularly, some pornography in this genre features butch women, who are almost never seen in mainstream pornography.
== Multiple men and women ==
'''Bisexual''': A woman or man who has sex with both men and women.  Bisexual does not  necessarily mean that a person is willing to be part of a threesome with both hetero- and homosexual contact or have two partners of opposite genders concurrently; these are forms of polyamory, though the former is what the term typically refers to in porn.  The terms Bisexual and Pansexual are often used interchangeably; Pansexual refers to someone who is attracted to all genders, such as genderqueer, genderfluid and so on.  The term is useful in porn when referring to people who are attracted to/have sex with women, men, and transsexual people.
'''Backgammon''' pornography features reverse bukkake, or men and women having multiple back sex.
'''Bukkake''' pornography usually depicts numerous men having sex with one woman, with multiple, usually 10 or more, men ejaculating on the female or male's face. Especially popular in post-World War 2 Japanese culture.
'''Threesome''' or 3some pornography features one man and two women (MFF). It is geared towards heterosexual men, who most typically define a threesome as such. A threesome is also depicted with one woman and two men (MFM) who all perform sex acts on each other (but not male on male). (MMF) is depicted with two men and one woman who all perform sex acts on each other (including male on male) considered a bisexual threesome (see Bisexual).
'''Gang bang''' pornography usually depicts numerous men having sex with one woman, or one man. A scene where many women have sex with one man is referred to as a "reverse gang-bang".  Group sex pornography (including sex parties such as an orgy or a swinger party) features at least two men and two women (foursome or 4some), usually more, who all perform sex acts on each other.
== Reality ==
Reality pornography refers to real or faked 'amateur' encounters. This category also includes pornographic home movies. Related genres include:
'''Amateur''' pornography originally referred only to pornography produced by amateurs but now also includes professionally made pornography designed to appear as if it were amateur. Pro-am pornography is subgenre of amateur pornography that refers to professionally made porn that features amateur actors/actresses, often appearing for the first time in a pornographic film.
'''Celebrity sex tapes''' are amateur or professionally made recordings of sex acts, as performed by a celebrity and their partner(s). These typically are leaked to the public via the Internet, with or without the celebrity's consent. A celebrity may allow such a recording to surface willingly, as part of a publicity stunt.
'''Exhibitionist''' pornography features performers, usually female exposing themselves in public and spans simple flashing to public sex. The Girls Gone Wild series is one example.
'''Gonzo''' pornography involves a first-person cameraman/performer perspective. Also see POV.
'''Homemade''' pornography is amateur pornography made in a persons home.
'''Upskirt and Downblouse''' pornography features staged filming up women's skirts or down their blouses while in public. Actual upskirt or downblouse shots may violate privacy laws in some countries.
'''Hidden Camera''' pornography involves shots that appear to spy or peep on a woman who is unaware she is being viewed or filmed while dressing, going to the bathroom, or showering; either at home or in a commercial place, such as a locker room, public restroom, spa (including spa treatments such as spraying, scrubbing, bikini waxes or Brazilian bikini waxes, and endermologie (also known as lipomassage or cellulite treatment)), or dressing room. Actual spying may violate privacy and/or trespassing laws in many countries. Voyeur or peeping Tom pornography is usually more staged with the subjects aware of the cameras, sometimes openly including this exhibitionist awareness. Voyeur pornography may also include shots of topless women on topless beaches who are unaware of the cameras but may legally be photographed due to the public setting.
'''Gloryhole''' pornography features women performing fellatio or other sexual acts on unidentified men through a small hole made in a bathroom divider. This genre also features male-on-male fellatio through a small hole made in a bathroom divider.
'''Revenge''' porn and hacked or leaked porn features sexually explicit images or video that is distributed without the consent of the subject. If the subject willingly gave the person distributing the material permission to possess, but not distribute the material, it is referred to as revenge porn. Hacked or leaked porn refers to material that the subject knows exists (i.e. for private use or for a significant other), but was obtained through hacking into a person's cloud storage or other such account and distributed without their permission.
== Specific sex acts ==
== Anal ==
'''Anal''' pornography features anal penetration with a penis, dildo, other objects, or some combination of them.
'''Ass to mouth''' (aka ATM or A2M) pornography shows the transfer of a performer's penis (or other object) from a second performer's anus to that same second performer's (or another performer's) mouth in a single shot. A variant of A2M is ATOM (ass to other mouth) where a performer inserts his penis directly from one recipient's anus into a second recipient's mouth.
'''Gaping''' in pornography refers to scenes of anal sex with a focus on the recipient's anus remaining open for a period of time after the erect penis or dildo is removed. A sub-set of gaping is the "'tunnel cumshot", wherein the male ejaculates directly into the gaping anus.
'''Pegging''' is a recently invented word which features a woman penetrating a man with a strap-on dildo.
'''Rimjob''' pornography centering around analingus.
== Other sex acts ==
'''Deep-throating''' features the recipient taking the penis through the mouth into the throat, either as fellatio or irrumatio.
'''Double penetration''' (aka DP) pornography depicts simultaneous anal and vaginal penetration of one woman. Double Stuffed (aka DS), Double Vaginal (aka DV), or Double Anal (aka DAP) pornography involves the penetration of one orifice by two penises or other objects.
'''Fisting''' pornography features the insertion of an entire hand into a performer's vagina or anus. A sub-set of vaginal fisting attempts to photograph the female cervix immediately after the fist (or large dildo or speculum) is removed from the now-gaping vagina.
'''Oral sex''' pornography frequently features a person performing fellatio, and less frequently cunnilingus.
'''Solo''' pornography features performers masturbating. Can also include auto-fellatio, or performing oral sex on oneself.
'''Insertion''' in pornography features performers inserting various odd objects into their anus or vaginas.
== Other categories ==
'''Cartoon''' pornography depicts illustrated or animated fictional characters in erotic and sexual situations.
'''Hentai''' is the various forms of Japanese pornography, including H-manga, H-anime, and H-computer games. The term hentai is never used in this context in Japanese. The meaning of hentai is "perversion", "abnormality", or "metamorphosis". Yaoi is anime or manga that features gay males (although not necessarily pornographic). Yuri is the lesbian equivalent.
'''Interactive''' pornography, available in CD-ROM and DVD format, allows the viewer to select the particular acts performed at any one time, sometimes with the camera providing a first person view.
'''Virtual Reality''' Pornography provides an interactive digitally-generated immersive erotic
experience, often side-by-side stereoscopic content shown from a participants point-of-view (POV).

'''Snuff''' pornography involves the actual death of any of the participants, consenting or otherwise.  Simulated death is not considered snuff. The existence of such content in commercially available pornography is widely considered an urban legend. In some areas, there are laws stating it is not legally possible to consent to be killed, and elsewhere it may still be legally dubious (see Armin Meiwes). The 1979 U.S. drama Hardcore showed this kind of film on its film. The viewing of this porn is illegal in many countries, and is condemned by the BDSM community as a whole.
