You’ve probably heard the horrifying rumors about porn in relationships. “They’ll fall out of love with you!” “They’ll realize you’re unattractive!” “They’ll become disinterested in sex!” These are all phrases we’ve heard about how porn can be the first tell-tale sign that your relationship is dying.
But what if we told you that porn can actually be the key to improving your sex life? In fact, as an ethical porn company that makes films exclusively for couples, we will tell you firsthand that couples who join actually become closer when watching our films. Not only does porn for couples have a variety of benefits, but with seemingly endless categories and options, you’ll be sure to find one that will spice up your sex life.
Sparking Conversations About Sex
For those of us in relationships, we know how easy it can be to get caught up in a sex routine. And while our regular sex can be super hot, once we fall into a routine, it can be difficult to get out of it. I mean, where do you even start telling your partner you want to be tied to the bed frame?
That’s where porn can help. Rather than conjuring up a specific scenario you would like to try with your partner, you can use what’s on the screen as an “icebreaker” to start further sexual communication. Even if it’s a “basic” or more vanilla film, you can ask basic questions like “does that look hot to you?” Or, “what position turns you on most?” By incorporating porn into your sexual communication, we can stay super hot and heavy while also sparking new ideas.
Get in the mood faster
Let’s face it – with all of our adult responsibilities, it can sometimes be hard to find enough time to fully get in the mood with your partner. The average vagina takes about 20 minutes to become fully aroused, and that’s just foreplay! By incorporating porn, however, you can speed up this sexy time while keeping things extremely hot.
While it can be really sexy being in a time crunch, not knowing when the kids will wake up or when your roommate will walk in, we still want to make sure your quickies are enjoyable as possible. And porn can help with that. This way, you’re not ignoring that small time window for sex, but instead, making the most of it.
Explore new desires and get inspired
Maybe there is a secret desire that you’ve been keeping in the back of your mind, but are a little bit afraid to try it or introduce it to your partner. Porn can be an awesome way to explore these fantasies safely and see whether your partner is interested in trying them to. For instance, let’s say that your secret fantasy is sex outdoors. Well, instead of bending over a rock spontaneously on your next hike, you can start by watching afterglow’s film “How to Have Sex Outdoors.” You can check-in with your partner throughout the film and see if this is something you both like. Then, you can get to that rock in no time!
Porn can also be a great way to explore fantasies you’ve never heard of before. For instance, maybe you’re experienced in bondage but come across afterglow’s collection of cuck films. Suddenly, you’ve found a fantasy you didn’t even know existed! And – the best part? You can explore these fantasies with your partner right next to you, and maybe even try them out immediately. Isn’t that so hot?
Tips for Watching Porn Together
Once you’ve found some porn that appeals to both of you, it’s time to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment for watching. Set aside dedicated time, free from distractions or interruptions. Communicate openly about what turns you on (or off) about the content, and be willing to switch things up if something isn’t working for one of you.
Remember, porn is meant to enhance your sex life, not replace it. Use it as a tool for exploration and inspiration, but don’t feel pressured to recreate everything you see on screen. Your real-life intimacy will always be more meaningful than any fantasy depiction.
What porn should you watch?
While any porn would be super hot to watch with your partner, afterglow features a few categories that are specifically made with couples in mind.
Eduporn
If you’re like most of us, you’ve sought out porn to learn a few tips and tricks. Our eduporns are adult films that you can learn something from. Exclusive to afterglow, eduporns combine sex tips and porn explicitly by collaborating with creators to make realistic and sexy erotic films. While porn is often written off as pure fantasy, rather than education, afterglow proves that porn can be both hot and insightful. When watching with a partner, you can even learn something together and improve your sex life as a team (which is so hot!). Our eduporns cover a wide range of topics, including “How to Start Squirting,” “How to Have Period Sex,” and “How to Give a Sensual Massage.” With seemingly endless lessons, you’ll never get tired of learning with your partner.

Real-life couples
With exaggerated orgasms and unrealistic moaning, porn can sometimes give us the “ick.” However, as an ethical porn company, afterglow prioritizes authentic pleasure in our films. For instance, we feature a variety of films on afterglow that star real-life couples. This means all pleasure on screen is authentic. And what’s hotter than that? So, if you’re looking to try porn with your partner but want something that is representative of both of your pleasure, exploring a film with a real-life couple can be an excellent solution.

Guided exercises
While afterglow offers countless “traditional” films with super hot storylines, we also have a variety of guided exercises that are specifically designed for couples. These films are intended for couples to watch together as they follow along to the instructions of an experienced instructor. If there’s a fantasy you’ve been wanting to try with your partner but aren’t sure where to start, these exercises can function as an approachable guide to sexual exploration. With everything from cunnilingus to BDSM, afterglow is sure to have a guided exercise to please both partners.

With open communication, mutual respect, and a spirit of adventure, watching porn with your partner can be a thrilling and connecting experience. So why not give it a try and see how it can spice up your sex life?
