Many of us have, at one time or another, sought out porn to learn, either because our sex education left us lacking, or to find inspiration for the type of sex we want to have.
Luckily the genre of ‘eduporn’ caters specifically to this need. The word ‘eduporn’ refers to a pornographic film that is specifically made to teach the viewer something practical about what’s happening on screen, be it about the particular relationship dynamic or specific sexual act.
Here’s a run-down of the best ‘eduporn’ websites for your pleasure and education, because they don’t need to be mutually exclusive.

Choosing the right one for you
Eduporn for developing your sexual skills and building bedroom confidenceIn conclusion, lots of these eduporn platforms have a great range of content, which you can both learn from and use to get aroused. However, most of the platforms you have to pay for, and some of the price points are much higher than others. So it’s an investment worth exploring beforehand.
- If you’re someone who is looking to learn much more about your relationship with your body and pleasure, then I would recommend Beducated, Climax and The Lust Ed: ErikaLust.
- Or if you’re looking for something more casual about gaining some more sexual skills through watching others, then look at MakeLoveNotPorn, Pink Label, and Sex School (via Pink Label).
All in all, the internet does seem to have a great range of content to explore and expand your sexual practice. It’s great that this strand of pornograph exists and readers should check out all of the above sites to gain more insight into how their erogenous zones respond to stimulus.
