Not-safe-for-work (NSFW) blogs and adult industry news outlets are very important. These adult blogs and news websites lend and communicate to adult performers, content producers, and behind-the-scenes professionals a lens into the business-to-business experiences of studio and corporate executives and owners of adult sex websites and affiliate marketing networks.
They do this while also helping independent folks and small businesses in the wider adult industry with top-of-the-line news analysis. In this blog post, Adult Site Broker presents our picks for the best NSFW blogs on the web. We also feature our favorite news websites and best sex blogs.
There are several types of sex blogs on the internet. We’ve identified three primary categories of sex blogs: industry news and analysis outlets, sexuality and culture blogs, and sex toy reviews. The industry news and analysis outlets cover the heart and soul of adult entertainment — from business developments, mergers and acquisitions, new product and production releases, laws and regulations governing internet freedom and freedom of speech, and insights and analysis from industry insiders and business leaders. Sexuality and culture blogs cover components of the wider sexual wellness discussion, including tips from licensed sexual therapists and experts in pleasure, the importance of intimacy, approaching fetishes and kinks among couples, and the ever-growing discussions related to LGBTQ+ pleasure, polyamory, swinging, group sex, and more. The final category of adult blogs, sex toy reviews and advice websites, is very self-explanatory.
