40 Popular Porn Slang Terms & Their Meanings
Just like dating and relationships, the world of porn has its own unique vocabulary.
While most adult content caters to English-speaking audiences, even within that space, terms and phrases frequently appear that may not be immediately clear to all viewers.
For example, a seasoned porn fan might read a title like “Free-Use Amateur Busty BBW MILF Makes Ahegao Face While Receiving Money Shot From BBC (POV)” and understand every word, while someone with less experience might find it completely perplexing.
To help decode these terms, here’s a comprehensive list of popular porn slang, including acronyms, genre labels, and specific moves you might encounter on adult sites.
