AE Predicts the Hottest Porn Trends For 2024
Every year, a new performer has a breakout movie, an exciting studio hits the bestseller lists for the first time, a trending sex toy debuts, and a groundbreaking genre captures audience imaginations. The six primary Adult Empire bloggers offer their picks for what will trend in 2024.
Pornstars
Scarlett Alexis
“Over the past year Scarlett Alexis has been quietly adding to her catalog, giving us scene after scene of great sex and watching her grow into herself has been a true delight. She’s always had the look but I’ve seen her grow and expand and there’s no way she’s going to be able to stay in the background forever. With each shoot and performance we get a little more of the star she wants to become and I have no doubts that she’ll get there. I love her creativity and willingness to experiment and explore and I think those qualities will help launch her career even further in 2024.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Odette Fox
“Odette Fox is a sexy redhead with a body that won’t quit and the personality to match. Her clips always feel fun and free, and although she just got her start in the business watching her feels like you’re watching a seasoned veteran. That is most likely attributed to the fact that Odette began her career at age 29, much later than the average porn star. In doing so I think she perfectly illustrates the value in having experience and confidence and bringing those things to work with you day in and day out. Everything she does is intentional and that’s going to be appreciated and recognized more in 2024 as she stacks her catalog.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Demi Hawks
“Demi is a cute young blonde with a radiant smile and pronounced freckles. She came onto the scene this year with numerous performances for New Sensations, but also managed to land a spot in Evil Angel’s UNCUT 20 across from Mick Blue. Her girl on girl scene with Clarissa May proved to be a bestseller on Adult Empire, and got her hot and bubbling just below the surface. Her fun-sized tight body is primed and ready for the spotlight in 2024 where I predict she will see more covers, features, and premium studios.” (Jackie Daytona)
Em Indica
“In her 2023 Adult Empire interview, Em Indica said, ‘When it comes to attraction, no, it’s not always a choice. You can’t help having your feelings, but you can choose how you want to express those feelings.’ Porn audiences can identify with that feeling, particularly when it comes to the lovely, talented Em herself. An animal lover and supporter of the arts, she’s as sweetly endearing as a neighborhood crush, but with a libido as wide as a Main Street crossroads. Her 2023 shoots with New Sensations and Digital Sin demonstrated her acting chops and versatility. As 2024 begins, we think you’ll be seeing more and more of Indica’s signature charms in featured releases everywhere.” (Dallas)
Liz Jordan
“Another name I want to put out there for another upcoming star for 2024 is named Liz Jordan. This brunette cutie is currently making the moves to be a strong contender for this next year. She is currently following a pattern of starring in a ton of new releases at a pace like what Leana Lovings (AE’s 2023 Pornstar of the Year) has been doing for the past year and a half. It worked great for Leana, and I think it will pay off the same for Liz. She gives great performances in her films and seems to love doing anal porn, which is always a plus. She is not only starring in a ton of content, but she is working with a ton of top studios. In the past three months she has starred in 17 new VOD releases. For the entire year of 2023, Liz had a total of 44 new VOD releases. Compare that to Leana who starred in 55 new VOD releases and you see the pattern I am noticing. She has my attention and I think she will have everyone’s attention throughout next year — how could she not?” (Chase)
Nicole Kitt
“Nicole is stunningly beautiful. She’s been in the industry since 2020 but just recently caught my eye in the Adult Time movie Turn Me Lesbian. Her acting skills are on point and the passion she portrays is so evident to the viewer. I feel 2024 will be a big year for Nicole. She’ll be featured in many movies and hired by top studios.” (Madison)
Coco Lovelock
“During 2023, a sweet young flexible girl caught my eye named Coco Lovelock. She can do this thing where she wraps her legs around the back of her head, and makes it look so sexy. It seems to be one of her trademark fucking styles and it really works for her. She has been in the industry since 2019, but I have noticed that in 2023 she has been working hard, starring in a ton of great new films. When you put in the kind of effort that she is currently at, you tend to succeed and I am calling for 2024 to be her headliner year. Almost all her movies tend to be bestsellers with a five-star ranking, so she has good taste in the studios she works with and the movies she wants to do. Aside from looking great, and having awesome fucking skills, she is a great little actor. I did a porn movie review for the movie Deep Analysis that she starred in. This movie had a deep plot with lots of storytelling involved and her acting chops were on point. She seems to play all her roles well and I can’t wait to see what she does next!” (Chase)
Kenzie Reeves
“Kenzie Reeves has made a name for herself in the industry since joining in 2017. What she may lack in large assets, she makes up for in her orgasmic energy. Since joining, she’s starred in hundreds of scenes with Nubiles, Evil Angel, Girlsway, and many, many more. She’s proven herself to be irresistible in whatever content she shoots, from straight to lesbian. When looking towards the New Year, I think it would be safe to bet that she will be there bringing pleasure to all of us.” (Susan)
Elizabeth Skylar
“Elizabeth Skylar is so new, she doesn’t even have a filmography page on Adult Empire, but that is about to change in a big way. After kicking off her career as a cam performer, Skylar finally began to explore studio porn earlier this year, including shoots with Naughty America and mega-star Manuel Ferrara. She’s a true-blue MILF, deftly balancing home life with a burgeoning on-camera career. The role of nurturing, friendly mom comes so naturally to her, she is known for bringing plates of cookies to porn sets. Her amiable demeanor and bosomy figure lend her the perfect combo of physical beauty and entrancing personality. Twenty twenty-four is primed to be the year when she adds major studio roles to her growing list of achievements. (Cookies not included.)” (Dallas)
Jennifer White
“2023 was a great year for Jennifer’s career. She scored a star showcase with Evil Angel (Deep Inside Jennifer White), she worked with top studios like Tushy, Wicked Pictures, Elegant Angel, and many others, plus she received nominations for both AVN and XBIZ Female Performer of the Year awards. I’d like to see a lot more of Jennifer White in 2024 – I think she’ll continue to film for Vixen Media and other top studios in the biz. Recently Adult Empire named Deep Inside Jennifer White the movie of the year for 2023!” (Madison)
Genres
Bisexual
“Bisexual porn has been on the rise for a while now, but I think 2024 is ready for more MMF action and we definitely have the studios to give it to us. BiPhoria, Why Not Bi, Kick Ass, and Bi College Fucks are a few that have given us hits over the years and based on 2023 I expect 2024 to take things to the next level and advance bisexual sex within the industry. Audiences all over the world are more open than ever to representation of different sexual orientations in non-traditional spaces and bisexual content is in the position to take the driving seat and give us something fresh, new, relatable, accurate, and hot as fuck.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Directed by women
“It’s no secret that women run the world (Beyonce said so!) and much of the porn we’re watching today is directed by women like Julia Grandi, Kayden Kross, Jacky St. James, and Kay Brandt to name a few. I predict we’ll see a huge jump in 2024 because so many young women are entering the industry with the goal of writing, producing, and directing, and the door has been kicked down clearing more than enough room for all who want to contribute. The diversity in perspectives, themes, storylines, castings, and even soundtracks we’ve gotten over the years proves that we need women voices as directors in porn and I’m excited to see what some of the younger stars have in mind for a future that looks brighter than ever.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Edgy anime-inspired themes
“Getting eaten alive or invaded by a parasite is generally the stuff of nightmares, not the theme of erotic entertainment. But several studios have bucked the odds and created popular porn vids with a stylized representation of these and other edgy porn scenarios. They’re the sorts of things audiences are more accustomed to seeing in hentai, where imagination is the only limit. Brought into live action, they have a feel all their own, sublimated by the skillful direction of filmmakers like Ricky Greenwood. There’s a constant urge in porn to explore boundaries and reinvent the idea of what an audience might consider erotic. The next year promises to see further incarnations of this provocative trend.” (Dallas)
MILF
“MILFs have never gone out of style, but they are due for a triumphant reigniting. A reboot in popularity if you will. The roster has never been stronger, with all-time greats and beautiful angels like Natasha Nice, Lexi Luna, and Jennifer White, just to name a few, in their prime and performing in MILF scenes. With uncertain times becoming more uncertain by the day, we naturally look for the experienced and mature for comfort. The wealth of knowledge and sexual prowess in the MILF genre will cause porn consumers to gravitate more toward this content for a combination of unmatchable pleasure and an innate feeling of warmth and protection.” (Jackie Daytona)
Naturally busty
“In previous years the norm for pornstars was to have big, fake boobs. I feel like more and more viewers are wanting to see big, beautiful, natural breasts on women. Throughout the course of 2023 we’ve seen many naturally busty stars rising the ranks: Natasha Nice, Octavia Red, Nina Kayy, just to name a few. In 2024 I think this genre will continue to grow as more and more people appreciate the beauty of a natural body.” (Madison)
Parody
“Who doesn’t love a good parody? I know I look forward to seeing what the great minds in porn come up with next. From cult classic movies like Star Wars or Evil Head to beloved tv shows like The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones (one of my personal favorites), the possibilities are endless. You can turn almost anything into a porno with the right frame of mind. I would personally love to see the new parodies they come up with in 2024.” (Susan)
Plot-oriented porn
“This category (Plot Oriented) hit my radar this past year and I am finding it to be a fun category to spend my porn viewing hours in. I have been watching some statistics and it seems that I am not alone. This category is growing in popularity with the porn viewers as well. What is nice about this category is that it has a huge library of almost 40,000 films (I am sure it will hit that in 2024). What you will find is a very diverse collection of popular studios mixed with current films and older films that tell a story. Many times, it’s not just about the sex — the story line feeds that imagination and really allows you to get off. If you enjoy porn binging, then it might just take you most of the year to get through the whole category, but it will provide you with plenty of orgasmic material. It also makes the best material to watch with a partner and creates that perfect mood — we all want the same ending, don’t we?” (Chase)
Stunts, tricks, and short-form content
“When asked about the future of porn, AE Director of the Year Jonni Darkko said the biggest recent shift has been in people’s attention spans. No one can sit still for long, which probably accounts for the rise of short-form video platforms like TikTok. (Adult Empire kicked off its own TIkTok channel in summer 2023. Check it out!) Short content often requires attention-getting hooks and gimmickry. With the media landscape shifting in that direction, porn may follow suit.
Case in point: ever heard of a ‘foreskin shot’? Neither had I until I sat down to interview Elizabeth Skylar, an up-and-coming cam performer. She explained that it’s a cam-show trick in which a performer stretches a co-star’s foreskin into a de-facto shot glass and then takes a shot from it. Jaw, meet floor. It’s the sort of attention-grabbing stunt/gimmick/hashtag sensation that meshes well with current media trends.” (Dallas)
Studios
Adult Time
“Adult Time has been able to put out unique, quality scenes and movies throughout 2023 thanks to the talented efforts of director Bree Mills. They’ve produced numerous plot-oriented trans porn movies that effectively utilize non-trans talent to create chemistry and intrigue not found with other studios. But they also put out stuff like the Ricky Greenwood-directed Feed Me, a supernatural genre piece starring Lulu Chu. Their ability to step into a genre or movie concept and 100% commit to making it its own work is a weapon for success. I predict they will continue to release films with individual artistic merit in 2024 that will catch increasingly more attention.” (Jackie Daytona)
Bang Bros.
“Bang Bros Productions specializes in raunchy, gonzo, in-your-face porn that highlights every freaky fantasy you can think of. Take a look at their cover art and you can tell they’re all about giving the people what they want. In a time when people want to press pause on the political correctness button and relax with their nasty little fantasies this is the studio everyone will be running to. They create a no-judgment zone where stars are able to put it all on the table and indulge in hardcore face-fucking, titty-fucking, and every other type of fucking you can imagine for fans to love and enjoy.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Deep Lush
“The striking thing about Owen Gray is how highly his industry cohorts speak of him and his work. ‘He knows exactly what his fans want to see. And that’s what he makes. And it’s all about the sex,’ said Casey Calvert in an AE interview. Skye Blue said that when she saw Gray’s work, she realized for the first time that porn could indeed be art. Kate Dee praised him for his ‘sensual and organic’ style. That’s why it was big news when Gray started his own label, Deep Lush, in 2023. A performer known for kinky aptitudes and unconventional look, Gray brings a quirky, artistic sensibility to his movies. His sterling rep as an artist helps him recruit some of the best industry talent for Deep Lush, which kicked off with superstar Savannah Bond in Busty Vixens. It’s a perfect choice for the discriminating porn customer, which is why I foresee a breakout year for Deep Lush.” (Dallas)
Delphine
“If you haven’t checked out the studio Delphine Films yet, you must add it to your list! This studio features movies jam packed with passion, romance and hot stars. Currently my favorite scenes are from the movie Nicole Doshi Unleashed. Director Bloomer Yang pushes Nicole to her limits in each of the four episodes. I can’t wait to see what Delphine has in store for 2024.” (Madison)
Dorcel
“For decades, Dorcel has proven themselves to be a studio that values pleasure, luxury, and high-value content. Hailing from across the pond, Dorcel is like a seduction on a vacation: exciting, foreign, and full of a promise of pleasure. In all the years they’ve been pumping out content they never disappoint with wonder series like One Night In, Luxure, Desires of Submission, and more. I think it’s safe to say that whatever 2024 brings, Dorcel will be here to do what it does best.” (Susan)
EAGLE
“Asian porn is unique in the way women are pleased and teased well past their limits for 20 minutes before any penetration even takes place. Even in lesbian action extra attention is paid to fondling nipples and clits and I am honestly fascinated by it! EAGLE is one of the best to do it when it comes to authentic Asian adult content and I think they’re going to blow in 2024. They blend traditional Asian sex with mainstream themes and sexy stars to create mind blowing movies that introduce you to new concepts while allowing you to remain in your sexual comfort zone. With new releases dropping and tons of new Asian stars hitting the scene 2024 is going to be the year of EAGLE.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Reality Kings
“I am going to go with a safe studio choice for hot for 2024 and say Reality Kings. What Reality Kings does right is they feature a wide variety of stars and are constantly releasing new movies. They are tackling relevant topics like gaming and sex, sneaky sex, lesbian, massage, MILF, and more. They even have the spinoff series of Black GF that features smoking ebony chicks making a move in porn. Their shooting style is crisp with lots of POV shooting, which makes you part of the scene. They always seem to get the perfect balance of a storyline where it is not too much, just what is needed to make the scene flow right into that sex we crave. I can’t get enough of the Big Naturals and Sneaky Sex series. I am calling it they will have another huge growth year for 2024 — I know they will be giving me some growth.” (Chase)
Real Life XXX
“Porn shares much in common with reality TV. It’s rarely afraid to be trashy, making you question why you’re glued to the screen, but it’s ultimately hard to resist. That’s why it’s a logical jump for porn to draw inspiration from reality-TV tropes and concepts. The idea is as old as Girls Gone Wild, or even gonzo porn itself, but director/star CJ Love finds a fresh perspective in Real Life XXX. The studio combines reality-style challenges and contests with hardcore sex. It’s the sort of entertaining, accessible stuff you could imagine airing on a go-to cable TV channel, just with a stupendously saucy kick. As the lines between porn and mainstream entertainment blur, studios like Real Life XXX will continue to thrive.” (Dallas)
Siri Dahl’s Private Collection
“Siri Dahl is back and better than ever! In her new collection of films, Siri Dahl’s Private Collection fans can expect to see a hot, sexy variety of videos. “Everything from jerk off instructions and solo videos to personal sex tapes I’ve made with my partner, and all kinds of adventurous threesomes!” said Siri in an interview earlier this year. I personally love everything about Siri as a performer. I think in 2024 her line will grow even more!” (Madison)
Sex Toys
Couples toys
“I am hoping that in the coming year of 2024 we will see a surge in couples play. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we were all getting some and actively playing with our partners? To make that more enticing, I am challenging everyone to check out the couples toys category to shop the wide array of sex toys available. You will find games, oral sex enhancers, positioning toys, sexy candies, some light bondage toys, sexy undergarments, and even instructions. This category is step one into ramping up your sex game and becoming the best partner she or he has ever had. Make 2024 the year of the couples sex toys, I tell you!” (Chase)
“I believe that 2024 should be a year of coming together and being closer than ever. With an upcoming election there are sure to be a divide in our thinking but this is often the result we see during election times. Instead we should put our differences aside and come together (in more ways than one) and what better way to do that than with bringing some couple toys into the bedroom? Experiment and find what you and your partner like and use them to to bring each other even greater pleasure in the New Year.” (Susan)
Gballs #3 Kegel Exerciser with Training App
“Staying in shape is top priority in today’s society, and that includes your private parts! Gballs #3 is going to take off in 2024 because it allows women to strengthen pelvic muscles, normalize cycles and reduce soreness and pain while becoming more sensitive in your lady parts. Add that it’s easy to clean, easy to store, has magnetic charging capabilities and works with or without a smartphone makes this an all-around win for women everywhere. It’s a sex toy that gets and keeps your vagina in shape with minimal time and effort, it’s cute and discreet enough, and it’s under $100.” (Nicole Chappelle)
Creams and lubes
“With our senses officially dulled from years of COVID and worsening world affairs, it only makes sense that our sex has suffered, too. I predict that we’re going to see more and more demand for sex creams and lubes that can be used for extra stimulation on both partners. Men will have to make their penises forget the hardships, and women will need to find ways to focus on the moment. I like the look of So Big Plumping Cream from Optimale, to remind our men that they are deserving and powerful. Also, some warming lube like Wicked Aqua Heat to build back the warmth in your woman’s erogenous zone. People are going to be exploring all types of sexual stimulation options in 2024!” (Jackie Daytona)
Obsess Me
“Obsess Me lube has been a top seller at Adult Empire! It comes in three sizes, including a 32 ounce bottle with a convenient pump. The lubes are FDA certified, non-staining and fragrance free. An Obsess Me toy cleaner was recently added to the line of lubes, cleaning your toys is easy with this foaming cleanser. I believe the Obsess Me line will grow even more in the coming years. Possibly even featuring a few toys like strokers and vibrators!” (Madison)
Prostate toys for straight men
“For a variety of cultural reasons, cisgendered straight men have been hesitant to embrace prostate toys. Well, it’s time for that outdated thinking to fade away. We think 2024 may be the year prostate toys finally find a bigger audience. Sex therapist and author Rachel Wright put it best in her 2023 AE interview: ‘I think that internal play for cisgender men like prostate play is just starting to become de-stigmatized, and I really hope it continues down this path. People do not know what they’re missing out on. And the idea that a sex act or a way of stimulating your own body is associated with a sexual orientation is wackadoo to me.’ Pleasure is pleasure, after all, and it defies logic to deny oneself a new, harmless experience because of outmoded ideas about sex acts and gender. (Did I mention the convenient fact that Adult Empire has dozens of prostate toys in stock, with more to come? Browse here, and thank us later.)” (Dallas)
Remote controlled toys
“Press a button and play… it’s that simple! Remote controlled toys have been around for a while but toy manufacturers keep coming up with new and creative ways for people to have fun. These toys can be used solo or with a partner. Most toys have many vibration modes to give you non-stop pleasure. Thinking about purchasing a remote controlled toy? Adult Empire has many to offer and we’re sure many more will be added in the coming year.” (Madison)
Zolo Blowstation Ultimate Controller-Style Masturbator with Phone Mount
“The fellas love strokers and I’m not upset about it one bit. Those things are fucking awesome and I know which one is going to be everyone’s favorite in 2024. The Zolo Blowstation Ultimate comes with a phone mount, which is perfect because we don’t do anything without our phones, that allows you to watch porn eye level while pounding away. It’s definitely a fun cool look, making your dick look like it’s in some type of virtual game machine while you hold on like you would a video game controller. No, it isn’t lightweight compared to others, but it does have 10 different vibration patterns, 8 thrusting modes, a warming feature that feels like a warm pussy, and easily accessible controls that don’t force you to interrupt the action. It does everything except ask you to cuddle, making it perfect for a lot of people just looking to bust a quick nut and get back to the game.” (Nicole Chappelle)
