NameThatPorn

“Where can I find this porno?” “She looks familiar? Who is that actress?” “Which studio is this from? What is the website?”

These are common questions we find all over the web, especially on porn forums and tubes. We are sure that you, too, have found yourself wondering where a certain movie is from or who a hot porn performer is. With websites like TinyEye, it is possible to get those questions answered, though it can be difficult. After all, so much smut these days gets scattered all over the net; it can be hard to track down where an image or film comes from.

The best way to get answers to these questions is by getting help from the best search engine: another person who is into porn. While you can find some of these people on tube comments sections or some sex-specific message boards, your results are going to be hit or miss. Fortunately, there are websites that specialize in cultivating a community that focuses on answer any and all porn questions and linking people to obscure or unknown pornos. Name That Porn is one of these websites, and it is certainly worth looking into.

One Domain; Many Incarnations

This domain has a history that goes back to the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, though it seems like this website may be even older. We say this because, in the middle of 2011, the Name That Porn domain was tied to an advertising landing page. But in 2013, the website seems to have been re-registered with what it, more or less, the modern version of NTP. That said, it seems the site was operating under a different name because when the domain was connected, the website already had hundreds of users, thousands of posts and comments, and hundreds of thousands of views.

Whatever the true origins of this website are, it has been going strong ever since then and provided a platform for people to get linked to the original videos, picture galleries, and GIFs of recently discovered adult entertainment posts.

The Design Is Typical Of A Tube

When we first glanced at this site without going too in-depth we thought that it was just another tube. This is not to say that we think this is a bad thing at all, though. Rather this is actually a strength of the site since the designers clearly had a good concept but did not try anything too radical when it came to the site's look. The use of a standard white background with some medium grey makes for a good contrast against darker grey elements and pinkish, hyperlinked text. All of the major filter features can be found on the left side of every page, and all major features are easily accessible from the homepage.

On that page, you will find the most popular, latest answered, newest question from top to bottom. Each thumbnail includes the number of views each post has along with the number of comments it has and its age. Further, answered and featured questions are labeled that way, and new posts are swapped out for older ones on a regular basis.

On each post, you will find either a GIF, video clip or picture which comes with a question. Most people usually ask which studio made the movie or who the performer is, though there are some general questions that relate to the post. Posts are usually answered through the time it takes to get an answer that is going to vary quite a bit. We have found that most questions get a response from one or a few people within a month, though some take longer and others might get a response within a matter of hours to minutes.

There Are Several Excellent Search Features

As of writing this review, there are over 890,000 posts with slightly even more comments. This means that it is likely a request which you may have has already been posted and addressed but finding it might prove difficult if you just click from page to page. Fortunately, there are several ways to look for posts in a far more efficient way. The search engine is better than those found on other sites not just because they give good hits for simple terms but also URLs and onsite tags. On top of that, the engine even has a reverse image search feature.

You can alter between showing all posts in order of those which have been most recently uploaded. You can further adjust your results by media – that is, you can sort between only seeing videos, pictures, and GIFs. Beyond that, there are filter options to see featured posts, threads, as well as posts that are still open and those which have been answered. If you think that your question has not been asked or answered, use these tools first because it may already be addressed.

There Are Plenty Of Pornstars

Another way to find posts is by looking at the Pornstars page. There you will find links to posts of hundreds of starlets listed in alphabetical order, which can be a bit cumbersome, but you can at least order performers by those who are new and the top-rated talent.

They Have Loads Of Tags, Too

Every smut site, no matter what kind of gimmick or fetish it focuses on, should have a category or tag page. We were glad to find that NTP has one, and their tags are quite thorough. Links to all of the ethnic and standard sex acts are listed – i.e., masturbation, lesbian, interracial, etc. – along with some rarer kinks. Some of the more interesting tags include heels, pawg, upskirt, and pregnant. There are even some surprisingly sensual tags despite the names like dorcel, Muslim, and Netflix. Yeah, we are not joking – check it out for yourself. We are sure you will never think of the phrase “Netflix and chill” the same again.

Thinking About Joining? Read The Newbie Page First

Obviously, the primary reason to join this website is to get your requests and questions answered as well as help out the rest fo the community. Besides that, members can like, favorite, and comment just like a tube site. Furthermore, getting an account is completely free and only requires you to come up with a username and password. Other than that, you just have to verify your email address, and you are all set. However, before you start posting, you need to read the Help page. There you will a complete rundown on what is considered to be good behavior on NTP. This information includes what a proper URL post looks like, how to comment on a post, how to report problems, and the such like.

Some of the basics that you need to know include the frequency of posts you are allowed to make. While engagement is highly encouraged, the NTP webmasters do not want pages to be flooded with answers. So, you are limited to one question or answer every five minutes and 24 Q or A per 24 hour period.  Further, users who have a hundred or more posts that have not been answered are doing something incorrectly and will likely be reprimanded for spamming. Posts can be of professionals and semi-pros, but the designers do not want threads that look "too amateurish." If your posts come across that way, they will be deleted. They are not too specific as to what that means, but we recommend only making posts that feature studio porn or amateurs, which have been verified on sex tube or social media platforms.

Also, do not bother wrapping HTML code as the site will take care of it automatically.

How This Site Looks On Mobile Devices

The mark of a good porn site, or really any website, is how it looks on the way most people like to access the web: a smartphone. Like the desktop version, NTP looks great on mobile machines, and all features run just as well. There is an issue when it comes to new tabs opening up when you click and link and the original taking you to a spam page. However, the popup issue is not as bad as it is on a home computer, so you will probably enjoy this site, even more, using your phone or tablet.

What Works On This Tube

Talking to anonymous people online can be a tricky business. On some sites, users can be perfectly friendly and sociable while other platforms seem to have members who seem to be nothing but hyper-aggressive trolls. We are pleased to report that it looks like NTP's audience tends to be on the friendly side and are quite responsive to people's posts. People who post questions tend to include several appropriate tags that make the search engine work so well. Furthermore, the filter tools whittle down the hundreds of thousands of posts to precisely what you are looking for.

Normally, we do not like it when web designers hide spam links in menus. And there are affiliate links below the main menu, though they are clearly labeled as EXCLUSIVE OFFERS. The three there are for a free trial for PornHub Premium, an ad for FlipGirlsForYou.com, and 300 free tokens for FreeCams.com – nearly three times what other cam sites offer! Like most tubes, there are two variants of the site which cater to people of different sexualities. Found near the main menu, you can toggle between the Straight, Gay, and Trans posts.

What Needs Some Work

To be honest, there is not too much, which we can find to criticize with one significant exception – but there is an annoying number of popups. It is not as bad as some tubes where every click on a link will bring up several spam pages, but it is almost that bad. Our advice: get some good popup blocking software, update your firewall, and be prepared to exit out of some random windows anyway.

Here Is What We Would Add

While the number of problems we have with this website is relatively limited, there are some perks that should be added. For one, with over a couple hundred users, we would add a forum. Sure, there is a good deal of socializing in the comments section, but it tends to be all business. Clearly, people on this site are passionate about porn and so providing a message board for them to discuss smut in general. Along with that, we would also add a chatroom, or perhaps several depending on the amount of user engagement.

All websites need some kind of revenue to be maintained and improved over time. So, to generate revenue and remove some adverts on each page we would also add NTP webcam subsite. This would be a great way to make money without spamming users, and since there are so many members, we think it would be easy to find models. Finally, we would consider doing what other highly social sex sites do to encourage engagement, and that is including a trophy or award system for those who answer the most posts.

Would We Recommend Make This Your New Wank Bank?

And here we come to the all-important climax of the article: do we think you should use this site? Well, Name That Porn has an active and growing community. Some of the members seem to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of all sorts of smut from every corner of the net. Navigating around is a breeze, and there are several ways to find a post to answer or get an answer to.

If you have a request which has not been posted yet, the members are (usually) great about giving you an answer, though this depends on what you are asking. We know that there are a few technical issues as well as some things which we think should be added. But these are largely insignificant and hardly reason enough to prevent us from giving this site a solid five hands out of five and our official endorsement. There are about 230,000 users after all, and a positive solved ratio which is considerable since the number of posts is soon to approach a million. So, yes, we certainly think you should use this site to get all of your porn questions answered.
