AltPorn This helps explain a bit about the SG thing.

Altporn (or alternaporn) is a contraction of "alternative pornography". It features models with body modifications such as tattoos, piercings, or scarifications, or temporary modifications such as dyed hair. Altporn tends to involve members of such subcultures as goths, punks, or ravers and is generally produced by small and independent studios or managers. Its biggest market is on the Internet; it first appeared online in early 1999 with Blue Blood's GothicSluts.com, followed shortly after by Killshot Productions' Raverporn.net (later renamed eroticBPM.com) in July of the same year.

The SuicideGirls website is perhaps the most popular site featuring altporn, although it relies solely on outside submissions rather than inhouse production. SuicideGirls is generally credited with coining the phrase altporn; longer-standing sites, such as Blue Blood's, generally use terms such as "counterculture erotica" or "subcultural erotica".

Many members of the altporn community disagree on the definition of altporn. Some consider it mostly an aesthetic quality while others see it as having a more ideological definition. Since every pornography company conducts its business and treats its models differently, it is hard to define it on an ideological basis, although the models' freedom to speak their mind both about the industry, their employers and political agendas is considered by some to be a vital part of the altporn community. SuicideGirls have been criticized for restricting their employees' ability to make public comments of this nature.

Some also consider political pornography, such as Vegporn.com, to be altporn. Joanna Angel of Burning Angel has described altporn simply as "Porn that comes from the heart".

Webcest This can be useful to know inregard to furries, roleplay, adult babies....etc.
