ATM

nope, not an automated teller machine in the adult world, rather it’s “ass to mouth”, a reference to an adult performer going from anal sex to oral sex without - uh - cleaning up in between. Highly unsafe sexual practice, and apparently high eroticized by some people because of it. While we list sites that include that content, it’s important to realize that is extremely risky behavior for STDs.

BBW

Big, beautiful woman. I’ve seen this term used by some webmasters to describe any woman over a size 6, but I tend to think you have to at least be shopping at Lane Bryant to qualify. Generally used by BBWs to describe themselves, and you can tell an asshole clueless webmaster when he uses other words like “fatty”, “plumper”, etc.

bear

primarily used in the Gay male leather community to describe big, hairy guys.

CFNM

Acronym for “clothed female, naked male”, a genre of porn with slight power exchange feel that is quickly gaining popularity.

console

Another term for a “popup”, a browser window that opens automatically. These are common in both adult sites and non-adult sites, and there are ways you can block these, although in our reviews we mention sites that use them.

custom videos

many women and men offer custom videos for sale - you send them your specifications, scenario, costume preferences and so on, and they create a video just for the customer.

endorphin

Many people who play with pain in an S/M context do it for only the physical sensation - an endorphin high caused by the body reacting to stimuli that they perceive as pleasurable instead of (or because of) pain.

fan fiction

the precursor to Slash fiction, fan fiction has roots in the cancellation of Star Trek, which caused fans to start writing their own fiction featuring those characters. Fan Fiction is anything with well known media characters, there are websites for both G rated and “adult” fan fiction.

fetish

a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to a specific object, article of clothing or body part

flash fiction

the little sister to the short story, flash fiction is a genre in which the story should be told in 100 words or less. Word count opinions vary though, you’ll find people calling anything from 75 to 1,500 words “flash”.

foot fetish

someone who eroticizes feet. I’ve talked to people with any number of various preferences when it comes to how they like to view feet, from those who have a thing for a certain kind of shoe, to pedicure, to type of toes.

forniphilia

fetish for turning humans into furniture, through elaborate bondage, etc.

furry

Well, some people use this to describe women who don’t shave (otherwise known as hirsute) and some people use it to describe overly hairy men. Take your pick.

GFE

Used in escort terminology, it stands for “girlfriend experience”, an escort who is going to try to give you a friendly, girlfriend-like date.

gunge

Another word for WAM (Wet and Messy) fetish, which involves people getting gunked up with mud, oil, creampie, you name it.

hirsute

exceptionally hairy - used to describe either male or female, although I see it more often used to describe women who don’t shave, and have the normal amount of hair any woman would who didn’t shave.

Hot dog in a bun

slang for uncircumcised penis

jilling off

a term used to describe women masturbating, instead of “jacking off”

looner

a term to describe someone with a balloon fetish. There are two distinct camps to balloon fetishists - some who love it when the balloons are popped (between breasts or thighs, etc) and those who absolutely do NOT WANT the balloon to pop, but merely to bulge.

mature

a term used to describe older women in the adult world. I’ve seen this used by some webmasters to describe any woman over the age of about 25, but in our listings we only put sites in that category that are over 40, or specifically refer to themselves as “mature”.

non-recurring

we use this in reviews to denote a site that offers paid access without automatically rebilling you monthly.

OTC

you’ll sometimes see this used in reviews to denote “one time charge” - a site that offers a single month (or other term) access without automatically renewing/billing you.

P-spot

a fairly new term to describe the “male G-spot”: stimulating the male prostate via anal penetration

POV

point-of-view. Lots of times you’ll see this in reviews when we’re describing content that was shot by the person engaged in the sex act - you know the type I’m talking about, like a blowjob video or photo set all shot by the guy getting the blowjob.

recurring

adult paysites that automatically bill you for whatever time amount the subscription is. Most adult sites are recurring billing, it’s an exception when they aren’t. See our consumer tips section for info on how to make sure you can cancel, and what to do if you have a hard time.

slash fiction

Definition from Wikipedia: fan fiction, describing gay pairings between media characters, often in explicit detail, and very frequently outside the canon of the source. The name arises from the use of the slash character in phrases such as ‘Kirk/Spock’ to describe the stories. (’Kirk/Spock’ is widely thought to be the first type of slash fiction, first appearing in the 1970s in Star Trek fanzines.)

TV/TS

acronym for transexual and transvestite

WAM

acronym for “Wet and Messy”, which eroticizes women (or men) getting goopy - mudwrestling, pies in the face, whipped cream, any number of things.

WMV

Windows Media Viewer, probably the format most widely used for both streaming and downloadable video files.
