We do our best to only link to porn sites that are safe to use, we always double check any site we link to. However, like everything else in life we cannot guarantee 100% safety, especially since we don’t own or control any of these sites.

And to be honest, it doesn’t really matter if you’re visiting a mainstream or adult site, whenever you’re connected to the internet you always have to be aware of viruses, malware, phishing attacks, ransomware and scams.

Nevertheless, the good thing is by following these simple guidelines, you can keep your computer safe and look at porn with nothing to worry about.

8 simple guidelines for safely enjoying online porn

1. Use antivirus software and keep it up-to-date.
You really cannot risk to be online and not have one installed. It’s a basic necessity and required for a secure system.

2. Install security patches.
For a Windows system, Microsoft releases security and other OS patches. Check for prompts asking you to install updates.

3. Use a firewall.
Windows has a build-in firewall that’s enabled by default.

4. Install an ad blocker.
Believe us, your porn viewing experience will be a lot better without them, especially on porn sites and when you’re watching porn videos.

5. Beware of any ads, windows or pop-ups.
The ones trying to trick you that your system or device has been infected, asking you to install a ‘fix’, but you’re actually installing malicious software.

6. Never provide sensitive or personal information.
Be smart and think about what information you share on a site or with others, mainly credit card information.

7. Ignore porn scam emails.
The emails demanding you to pay money. Try not to freak out, but stay calm and never reply to these type of sextortion scam emails.

8. Use a VPN.
Fully protect your privacy online or even unblock porn in certain countries. Not required but highly recommended.

When you’re frequently watching and downloading porn videos like all of us, it’s good to know the difference between the two:

– Full HD or FHD stands for Full High Definition, and is commonly referred to as 1080p, and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 making it 2 million pixels.

– Ultra HD or UHD stands for Ultra High Definition, and refers to 4K video resolution. It’s a lot larger. To be exact, it’s four times the pixel density of 1080p resolution: 3840 x 2160 or 2160p, making it 8 million pixels.

Pros of 4K vs 1080p Porn

– Better image quality, because of the higher resolution. If you have a 4K monitor or TV then your favorite adult video is going to look fantastic.

– 4K can be easier on the eyes. According to research, increasing screen resolution so it exceeds the discriminating ability of the eye lowers the risk of strain, making the video more defined and comfortable to focus on.

Cons of 4K vs 1080p Porn

– File size of a 4K video compared to 1080p is a lot larger. Example of a 40 min long video: 1.5 GB vs 6 GB. As a result, it will take up more space on your hard-drive or storage device.

– Downloading takes longer. Obviously, because of the larger file size it’s going to take more time downloading a high-quality 4K porn video for your spank bank.

– You need a 4K screen to watch 4K videos. If you don’t have one, the video will be downsized to the resolution of your screen.

Most people have a Full HD screen, which is 1080p. So clearly, 720p with a video resolution of 1280 × 720 (less than 1 million pixels) compared to 1920 x 1080 (2 million pixels) is quite a bit smaller. Though, most of the regular sex videos on your average adult video site, or the ones on most porn tube sites are available in 720p.

It’s actually decent quality, just fine for your everyday porn, especially if you just stream a 720p video on a tube or movie site in your browser. But, going any lower than this resolution would start to get very noticeable, it will just look bad and of low-quality. Meaning, unless 480p or even 360p is the only available option, or your internet connection doesn’t allow you to stream better quality, it’s just not worth it.

Yet, if you just happen to find your ideal hardcore sex video from one of your favorite pornstars, and you think it’s’ worth adding it to the spank bank? Then we would always recommend to at least go for 1080p.
