【Bayo (2025)】

In the United States,Bayo (2025) sex education is pretty poor; some states don't require it at all. Because of this, porn often replaces proper sex education — which is a disservice to everyone. 

Porn is a filmed performance. Everyone is positioned so all is on display, so sexual acts often look different than they do in real life (cunnilingus is just one example — givers don't stick their entire tongue out IRL!). Most of the time, porn doesn't show the intimacy, variety, and awkwardness that real sex has. 

If you're an adult and feel like your bedroom knowledge is lacking, you're not alone — and there are resources tailor-made for you. They happen to be NSFW in that they show naked bodies and talk about sexy topics, but they're not exactly what you'd find on Pornhub, either. Here are five NSFW sites to teach you what porn didn't.

In partnership with Indiana University and the Kinsey Institute, OMGYES conducted a large-scale study — a staggering 20,000 women, ages 18 to 95 — to understand specific techniques that are pleasurable to vulvas. These techniques are distilled into three seasons (as of this publication): essentials, inner pleasure, and toy techniques. Within each season are a breakdown of pleasure techniques, with SFW explainer and NSFW demonstration videos and written descriptions. For many of these techniques, there are also research statistics and illustrated diagrams, and sometimes even video stimulations that you can "pleasure" with your computer mouse.
