Bisexual pornography is a genre of pornography that most typically depicts men and at least one woman who all perform sex acts on each other. A sex scene involving women and one man is generally not identified or labeled as bisexual, even if the female performers engage in sexual acts with each other.

As most porn is marketed to men, most bisexual porn is marketed to heterosexual[1] or bisexual men. Most consumers of bisexual pornography do not identify as gay.[1] However, bisexual pornography is often placed near the gay section in adult video stores, since many consumers are gay men.[2]

Pornographic film industry

Content featuring male bisexuality has been a growing trend since the advent of internet pornography.[1][3] However the genre remains a very small proportion of the pornographic DVD market; for example at porn retailer HotMovies.com, there are only 655 bisexual titles out of a catalogue of more than 90,000 films.[3] Bisexual DVDs sell much better online than in adult video stores, possibly due to customers in stores feeling embarrassed to buy them.[4] Most bisexual pornography is made by small production companies rather than the major studios. Actors are mostly amateur; any well-known actors in bisexual porn tend to be from the gay pornography industry.[3]

Male performers in heterosexual porn who have appeared in bisexual porn, have had their sexuality questioned and been stigmatized,[1] and have been accused by the gay community of being in denial about their sexual orientation.[3] While male performers in gay porn who have appeared in bisexual porn have been accused of being heteronormative.[5]

Female actresses face much less stigma for appearing in bisexual porn. Although many still get stigmatized for performing with male performers who usually work in the gay pornography or transsexual pornography industry.

In August 2018, MindGeek's gay pornographic website Men.com created controversy by releasing its first scene featuring MMF bisexual porn, sparking a discussion over whether bisexual porn belongs on a gay porn website.[6] In reaction to the controversy, MindGeek decided to stop featuring bisexual pornography on Men.com and created a separate bisexual website instead called WhyNotBi.com[5]
