Adult Film Database

Adult Film Database Review

Like the name suggests, Adultfilmdatabase.com serves as a directory of actors, directors, studios, films, and video clips. The site is a porn database that has a wealth of information regarding the top pornstars in the industry, along with some links to porn. The site's primary job description is to archive, catalog and document pretty much every porn scene and actress that has ever appeared in front of the camera. The site covers thousands of performers, including male, female, and transgender actors. It is the best place to find all the content belonging to a particular actor as well as learn some personal information about them. The site is free to use. This review should inform users of all that is there to know about the site.

Brief history

AdultFilmDatabase was created in 1991 by a college student as a project in web development. The student was attempting to fill a void left by the temporary absence of a mostly similar site called Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD). Initially, the website operated under the name Sodomite. The name was changed to AdultFilmDatabase.com in 1999, and the site is currently a significant competitor to its name's sake. Interestingly, the site takes inspiration from the Internet Adult Film Database and IMDb (a place where users can learn about the old and new upcoming movies, TV shows, and so on). They have collaborated with adult industry heavyweights like Vivid Entertainment, Hustler, Wicked, and Digital Playground. They are currently serving their visitors with information on over 100k movies and more than 60k professional performers. The site is run by a husband and wife team. Unlike many other porn databases that only deal with female performers, AdultFilmDatabase was the first online adult database to include both straight and gay videos and performers.

Simple, minimalistic approach to pornstar directory

Whoever designed the site was clearly trying to make it as simple as possible, and the results are laid bare for all to see the moment they land on the homepage. Without any hint of hyperbole, it is hard to pick out simpler websites on the internet. The site looks bland and stripped down with the mostly white background covered by spaced-out video covers from some of the top producers of smut in the industry, including names like Brazzers, Evil Angel, Reality Kings, and Digital Playground among others. They welcome users with the latest additions while below that are sections for most popular videos, most popular performers, and most recent galleries. At the top right is a search feature that allows visitors to search for content by films, actors, directors, studios, and video clips. However, there is no navigation header. The lack of visual appeal aside, the simple approach means there is no clutter or [refreshingly] intrusive advertising, and visitors should enjoy a smooth and straightforward browsing experience. On the top left is a drop-down menu where users can access the advanced search feature, browse actors, studios, videos, galleries, and new videos. There is plenty the team can do to make their site more attractive. Still, users should be able to work with what's on offer without issues, which is arguably the most important thing.

Loads of movies to know about

What kind of movies can users expect here? Well, the simple answer is pretty much all types of porn. The fact that porn is from professional studios means all sorts of fantasies are likely to be found here. Judging by the titles, users can expect stuff like Anal, Milf, castings, lesbian, and interracial, among many others. Now, unlike porn tubes where users can only watch free videos, at AdultFilmDatabase, they play a slightly different ball game. Here clicking on a scene opens up a page with details about the movie (it's a database after all). Some of the information accompanying movies includes a description, a list of stars, and a note of whether the video is part of a series (complete with a scene breakdown). With content coming from the top studios on the land, users are bound to find something befitting their tastes and preferences. Also, there are thousands of pornstars in this database with options to sort the performers by popularity, date added, and an A-Z menu, which should prove useful given the extensive lineup. There are big names like Lana Rhoades, Sunny Leone, Alexis Texas, Mia Khalifa, Brandi Love, and Abella Danger among thousands of others. The performer profiles on AdultFilmdatabase.com have information like aliases, appearance stats, notable films, and various links, including to social media or official porn star websites. There is also a list of titles belonging to the particular model with information like who produced them, the genre they belong to, the name of the director as well as the time of release. Users will also note the site is inclusive and provides information for straight and gay performers. There's actually an option to filter by gender with all sexual orientations provided as options.

Is there actual porn on AdultFilmDatabase, though?

The bad news is AdultFilmDatabase doesn't have actual porn on it. Like mentioned, they are not a porn site per se and are for all intent and purpose a website about porn and pornstars. What this means is users can not watch any of the videos on this site. What they basically do is inform users on what movie is hot and who is fucking who in the new interracial scene from a particular studio. They don't have the videos, but they link to the original hosts where users can watch the videos. Needless to say, the videos are going to cost money since they are all from premium sources. Users looking to watch the videos for free will have to settle for short trailers, which depends on the hosting site.

Excellent search options

The guys at AdultFilmDatabase may not be generous with videos. Still, they have provided effective search options to help users identify their type of content seamlessly. The advanced search feature from the drop-down menu on the top left is a prime example. It allows users to search movies by title, director, actors, studios, category, and year of release. This will enable users to get as specific as possible with their video searches. The advanced search feature extends to the actors as well, with loads of options. Users can filter the performers by gender, the year they started their career, hair color, and ethnicity, among others. They really cover pretty much everything that users will need to make their videos and pornstar searches a success.

Enticing porn galleries

Those who love getting off images will be pleased to discover the site has loads of mouthwatering galleries. Unlike the case with the videos, users can see the pictures on AdultFilmDatabase without being redirected. Most of these are screen grabs but available in pretty decent quality. There are loads of photosets for professional nude photoshoots as well with glamor models flaunting theirs out of this world bodies. The images can be filtered by categories that include cowgirl, cumshot, intercourse, piledriver, reverse cowgirl, and pussy spread, among others.

The best of AdultFilmDatabase

Lists actors, studios, directors, videos; the site lives to its database name by providing details of videos and the players behind the scenes. Users looking or pornstar bios, directors, and studios will be pleased with the arrangement. Excellent sorting options; with such a vast database, the site has done well to provide an array of sorting options. It helps users quickly find their content of choice. Includes male, female, transgender actors; no one has been left beside, and the lineup of pornstars covers all orientations. Advanced search; the site has provided excellent sorting options, including a wonderful advanced search feature. No ads; users can browse this extensive database without the distractions that come with ads and popups.

Possible concerns

No actual porn; the site doesn't have any videos and only provides users with information. To see the videos, users will be required to pay to access the premium porn destinations hosting the videos.

How the site can improve

AdultFilmDatabase is not a porn site per se, and ultimately, they deliver on their promise. However, adding some streamable videos could be really great. The homepage and overall content presentation could use a bit of work.

Conclusion

For users looking for pornstar bios and information regarding movies and studios, AdultFilmDatabase is as comprehensive as they come. They have done an excellent job of cataloging porn videos spreading decades, and users will find thousands of links to videos from the best producers. Overall, it has plenty of information and great sorting options, but offering free porn videos and galleries is not this site's primary goal.
