AE Predicts the Hottest Porn Trends for 2021
Adult Empire bloggers Chase, Dallas, Jackie Daytona, Madison, and Susan rev up their prognosticating skills and predict what they see as the hottest porn trends of 2021!
PORNSTARS
Blake Blossom
“Scoring the cover of a HardX movie is a feather for any pornstar’s cap, even a performer who has been in the industry for many years. Blake Blossom managed this notable feat in her very first movie available on Adult Empire: Big Naturals. Indeed, the title of the flick underscores the traits that we think may well be her path to stardom: enviable physical gifts combined with natural on-screen charms and presence. She’s also the December Penthouse Pet, another nice notch in her belt. If she keeps at it, we can see 2021 as the year when she truly . . . well, blossoms.” (Dallas)
Bella Rolland
“The Italian speakers of the world will know that ‘Bella’ translates to ‘beautiful,’ and we foresee a very beautiful year indeed for Bella Rolland. The pandemic made 2020 a tricky year for stars just getting started in the industry. It removed a lot of the usual avenues for additional exposure, such as the big award shows and industry events, not to mention the production halt that put the brakes on many potential showcases. As the world slowly begins to return to normal in 2021, the newbies who would have made a big splash in 2020 will finally get a chance to fully shine. Prime among them is Bella Rolland, who’s already notched spectacular performances in movies for Evil Angel and many other big studios.” (Dallas)
Skylar Vox
“Skylar Vox is the quintessential girl next door. Her look is almost modest and innocent, complete with big natural breasts that could lullaby you to sleep and optimistic eyes that make you wish she’d take you to her room. She is a truly a natural beauty. What you see is what you get. Yet she exudes a comfortable confidence that lets you know she’s in complete control. Reminiscent of that early adulthood crush you wished you could find alone time with, her authenticity is warm, safe, and alluring. After a year like this one, I’d say that’s what 2021 needs. She had a great year with features in popular studios like Vixen and Tushy, but Skylar is still young with time to grow, and I believe that dogged self-assurance will take her far in 2021 and beyond as more people being to catch on.” (Jackie Daytona)
“Blond, busty and naturally beautiful — that’s a good description of Skylar Vox. While relatively new to the porn scene, she’s already scored the cover of quite a few movies including Tushy Raw V. 12. Skylar is nominated for the AVN Award: Best New Starlet and the XBIZ Award: Best New Performer. I think we can expect to see Skylar in many upcoming movies!” (Madison)
“Vox joined the industry in 2019 but reality made a name for herself in 2020. She made the jump from stripper to pornstar and is well known for her wicked curves and large bust. At only 20, she’s climbing the ladder and has worked with some big names in the game including Vixen, Tushy Raw, Jules Jordan and many more! I think we’ll continue to see her name in 2021 and can expect her career to flourish.” (Susan)
Angela White
“Angela White seems to be a true porn queen on our site and the safest prediction pick. Our customers seem to appreciate her commitment to top notch porn content, new and relevant content and she has stayed strong for so long now. Even though her 128-week streak ended in December, I predict she can surge back to the top spot for another year. Prior to being unseated by Skylar Vox, in 2020 she was only really challenged two or three times, the closest call was Maitland Ward, in fact it looked as though Maitland was going to take the crown once during the year. In another week this past October there was another close race with almost a three way tie for the top spot between Angela, Kayla Kayden Emily Willis. Angela’s fans are diehard and they were vocal about the almost tie, since then Angela has easily maintained that top spot and I think she can do it for another year. One interesting side note I noticed throughout 2020 is there are a few stars who have an amazing ability to have a massive spike in the ratings when they release new material. These massive climbs were had by Maitland Ward, Mia Khalifa, Siri Dahl, and Ella Knox. They all had big enough one week spikes to be a threat for the top spot and I think that type of spike is what is needed to take the top spot from the Queen. Julia Ann, Riley Reid Emily Willis, Elsa Jean and Gabbie Carter often hang out in the top five but I am pretty sure it will take that spike to keep Angela out of the top spot.” (Chase)
Emily Willis
“Emily was my pick for trending pornstar in our 2020 Porn Trends article and I’m going with her again for 2021! Less than two years in the industry and Emily has already worked with top studios, directors and talent. In 2020 she had her own Jules Jordan star showcase, The Insatiable Emily Willis. This movie featured her taking it to the limit in a double penetration scene. Currently Emily is one of the hottest entertainers in the industry, winning countless accolades and a lot of well-deserved attention from industry fans. We also named Emily Adult Empire’s Pornstar of the Year for 2020! Emily will definitely be at the top of the charts for 2021 and beyond.” (Madison)
GENRES
Family roleplay
“I find the porn genres to be difficult to predict, as the writer for the AE Pulse most weeks I get to see exactly how the breakdown takes place. I think that you can break down Adult Empires customers in a few different ways and that is the great thing about the fans. We appeal to the different ways they want to enjoy their porn content and I think you can almost predict a genre for each type of media. If I was to predict by the media types for the DVD purchase it would be a toss-up between interracial and threesomes. The consistency of new releases from Blacked and Blacked Raw seems to easily keep them at the top of the best-selling DVD spectrum but threesome content has been a significant winner in the past and a great threesome DVD could run a long enough streak to be the hottest DVD genre next year. If I was to put my money on a top VOD genre I would put my money on a parody, although the ahegao fetish has really taken off in 2020 and I think that is only getting started. Content from Purple Bitch, Hentaied, and Leah Meow is done by scenes limiting it to a streaming only media type. I definitely expect to see a lot of that type of material in the bestselling streaming content next year. Now Adult Empire Unlimited being the monthly streaming service with new films and new scenes added daily, that genre is most definitely, hand down family-roleplay! I expect that to continue every week of next year without a hesitation. The family roleplay content is very alluring and interesting in different ways and my goal in my career in Adult Empire is to figure out the exact attraction to this type of porn because it is hugely popular in all porn genres and if you want to nail me down to one genre for 2021 I’m going with family roleplay. There is no stopping that type of erotic entertainment and interesting and almost believable storylines (in the realm of step-siblings). I think I am close to fully understanding this genre and I predict that I will be writing about my findings sometime in 2021!” (Chase)
Homemade movies/quarantine
“With everyone stuck at home for a majority of the year, we’ve been seeing more home made movies than ever before! When the cameras stop rolling because the entire world is in lockdown due to a global pandemic, frisky people decided to bust out their personal cameras and let the footage roll in their bedrooms.
Did you know Adult Empire has a category called ‘quarantine’? Browse through to see what happens when people are #hornyathome.
These two categories sum up 2020 in my opinion. I’m sure we will be seeing more additions to the home made movies and quarantine category as we enter the first few months of 2021.” (Madison)

Naturally busty
“Big, fake boobs are being pushed aside by gorgeous ladies who are blessed in the chest! Don’t get me wrong, who doesn’t love a great set of boobs, real or fake. In case you haven’t noticed, we always have all natural stars on the popular performers list — Gabbie Carter, Lena Paul, Autumn Falls, Eliza Ibarra and of course our #1 pornstar for almost all of 2020, Angela White. I predict this trend will continue to be popular with the AE customers in 2021.” (Madison)
Personalization
“The pandemic nudged along a trend that was already becoming a force to be reckoned with: individualized, personalized porn content that compensates for a shoestring budget by creating a deeper personal connection with the user. A cam show, for instance, will never have the budget and resources of a major studio product, but its intimate one-on-one format means you get a degree of personal attention that isn’t plausible in mainline porn. When the pandemic struck, many stars were forced to get creative to sustain a living by increasing their cam-style output, which is intrinsically friendlier to the lockdowns and socially distancing. In 2021, we see the mainline porn studios carving out a niche for genres that imitate the low-fi intimacy of cam content. Think ASMR, JOI, and more.” (Dallas)
Transsexual
“Transsexual porn has come a long way over the years, from being a relatively unknown taboo genre it has climbed the charts and is one of the most popular genres in porn today. Transsexual stars have made a huge name for themselves and some of the biggest companies in porn have added transsexual content to their work. With the steady growth in popularity I think that we will see even more big name companies’ dive into filming transsexual content.” (Susan)
V-Chat pandemic porn
“Jeffrey Toobin saw which way the wind was blowing, or at least his penis did! The only problem was just he was in the wrong industry, but history will prove him ahead of his time.
In any case, what doesn’t fly at CNN soars in the adult entertainment industry. As daily cases of COVID-19 continue to break records, it doesn’t look like we’ll have this pandemic under control any time soon. I predict Pandemic Porn will bleed into 2021 like spilled milk and we’ll see more a lot more video chat porn scenes. Soon this might be the only way to shoot new material!” (Jackie Daytona)
STUDIOS
Adult Time
“‘Porn done differently’ – is how Adult Time brands itself. Bree Mills and the rest of the Adult Time crew offer viewers a unique look at storylines that are extremely relevant to the real world. The Weight Of Infidelity and Shape of Beauty showcase beautiful women of all shapes and sizes. Transfixed is another popular series from Bree Mills highlighting premium transsexual content. I can’t wait to see what Adult Time has in store for 2021. Not to mention all of their AVN and XBIZ nominations for the 2021 awards!” (Madison)
Blacked/Blacked Raw
“This one is a tough one to make a final decision on, there are so many great studios out there in the porn business and some of them do well in different mediums on our site. Marc Dorcel makes beautiful films that not only make great films but great photo shots, too. Jules Jordan makes some great material on some great subjects, and is a powerhouse DVD seller. Deeper seems to have great films that will often revolve around one star being shot in many great locations, doing different specialties and makes a great product. Purple Bitch stands out to me too because of popularity, specialty and attention grabbing materials but as mentioned earlier they are limited to scenes. If I had to make my final call (and put money on it) I would go with Blacked/Blacked Raw. Aside from the popularity of Interracial films (which would be my number two genre pick) their films star some of the hottest current stars with some black studs that just command attention. Whenever I see that Blacked or Blacked Raw has a new release I personally predict to myself they will go to the top of the charts AND they will start a streak. They almost always do just that. Beautiful filming, beautiful babes, interracial harmony – I love all of that and it’s the trend I expect to continue next year.” (Chase)
“A popular trend we’ve seen over the last few years is viewing content that gives you the feeling of being in the action and even looks like it was shot amateur style. We’ve seen studios like Tushy Raw and Blacked Raw explore this style that almost looks like it was shot on a phone but with much better quality. I predict that we will see a rise in their popularity and possibly more studios testing this out.” (Susan)
4 You
“Sure, the two-hour European porn spectacles are great, but sometimes you don’t want to invest that much time in a porno. Even so, you still want to sample the classy vibe and chic stylings of such studios. Enter ‘4 You,’ which straddles the recent trend of compact, easily digestible porn products with the older tradition of big budgets and glamorous stars. While the name of the studio itself advertises a certain closed-off intimacy, the movies don’t skimp on high production value. These movies have sold consistently well in the latter half of 2020, and we expect them to do even better as 2021 unfolds.” (Dallas)
Purple Bitch
“Popular Czech webcam model and video creator, Taty Purple also knows as Purple Bitch became extremely popular during quarantine and since has many bestsellers on Adult Empire. Purple Bitch is also the studio name of this interesting collection of movies. If you’re into cosplay, anime, ahegao, and other oddities make sure you check out Purple Bitch. I can’t wait to see what other content we’ll see from this studio in the next few months.” (Madison)
SEX TOYS
“Masks with holes in the middle? Edible masks? Sure, it’s not practical, but nothing about this year has been. The possibilities are endless in a post-COVID world!” (Jackie Daytona)
“While 2020 has been a year of change with the raise of the virus we have also seen a raise in toys that can be used remotely and toys for couples who wish to interact while distances away. While it may take some time for things to become normal again I think we will see a raise in these high end Bluetooth toys that are helping bring customers together in this time of social distance.” (Susan)
A new wave of solo toys
“Much of the population spent a great deal of 2020 cooped up and isolated. Numerous mainstream outlets tracked the increasing attention (and acceptance) of good, old-fashioned solo love. While the sex toy market traditionally has been associated with toys for couples as much as those used for masturbation, we foresee 2021 as a year when innovation in the solo toy market will be particularly rewarded. After all, it doesn’t seem like normal life will be returning just yet, and the means plenty of solo time yet to come.” (Dallas)
Rechargeable toys
“Bye, batteries! How satisfying to know you can simply plug in your toy and it’s recharged for the next solo session. Convenient and economical – what’s better than that? Strokers, vibrators, cock rings, pussy pumps – the list of toys that are rechargeable keep growing. We love that no batteries are required!” (Madison)
Sex dolls
“I continue to read about the technology of sex toys and aside from the focus on personal electronics, computers, or cars it seems like personal sex dolls with AI is the wave of the future. I personally don’t know how I feel about that but if you asked me when I was eight years old watching Knight Rider if someday cars would be able to actually drive themselves or that I could control lights in my house by talking to a speaker I wouldn’t have really believed it. I think that for 2021 AI Sex Dolls will be the rich man’s toy as they will cost as much as a car, but that should also change the dynamics of the current dolls on the market and make them a little more affordable for the common customer. Sex dolls may cost a lot, but compare the cost to having to pay for sex all the time. In that comparison it’s not that much and as they become more affordable, they become more accepted, and will be like buying a phone or a car. Sex dolls are the future of porn in my opinion so I have to stick with that for my pick.” (Chase)
