r/chickflixxx Review

Since 2011, men have been asked to stay out of the comments on r/chickflixxx, and the subreddit's wiki explains why in four short chapters. Porn, it argues, is built on the male gaze, so the members here hold their own conversation about what porn for women looks like. The space is open to trans and cis women, genderqueer and nonbinary people, and the wiki suggests posting with lines such as "I see myself in this" or "This is hot because ____". Here a clip is meant to come with a reason attached.

A request thread opens every month and fills with dozens of comments from members looking for something specific. One regular posts a monthly round-up of favorite Reddit porn, softest picks first and the most explicit last, with lesbian scenes, masturbation, blowjobs and loving sex in the mix. The poster happily admits to a dildo phase. The round-up deliberately covers a range of body types and links to the creators' profiles wherever it can. The sidebar invites both porn and erotica, and the wiki promises room for "a novelty or a personal saga" alike.

Readers far outnumber posters, with roughly 159,000 weekly visitors against a couple of hundred contributions. The wiki's "Who" chapter calls the sub anti-racist, anti-transphobic and anti-ageist, and it wants people that mainstream porn fetishizes shown "as human beings having a human experience". It also warns that the posts will be diverse and sometimes contradictory, and that nobody will see herself in all of them.
