Adult video site Clips4Sale is celebrating its 20 year anniversary in 2024, and it's looking back on the last two decades of fetish content.

According to the site, some fetishes are timeless — like foot fetishes, which thrived on Clips4Sale (C4S) since the very beginning. But so much has changed in terms of how we watch porn in the last 20 years. In 2004, porn was dominated by studio productions, and people accessed porn by buying DVDs or downloading videos. In the time since, streamable content made tube sites like Pornhub exploded with content and viewership. With sites like C4S as well as OnlyFans and the like, independent creators were able to create and distribute content by themselves. As C4S says in its blog post, this "allowed them to carve out ever more specific niches."

C4S identified some fetishes that only began to emerge in our intensely-online era. One is ASMR, which can be non-sexual but is also beloved by NSFW audiences. C4S also identified digital submission (being surveilled by a dom via webcam, AirTag, or other tech) and gooning (masturbating and edging for hours) as being digital-bred fetishes.

Based on the site's data, here are the ten fetishes that define two decades of online kink, according to C4S data:

  1. Feet: C4S started as a feet pics and clips website, and it continues to be one of the most top-desired fetishes.

  2. Bondage: BDSM content was actually difficult to sell years ago according to C4S, but since the site's launch creators have been more vocal about consent and safety practices.

  3. Taboo: Porn featuring "step" family members is popular. As C4S states in its blog, it's less to do with family and more about how taboo it is.

  4. Ass worship: The rise of the BBL has also led to the rise of ass worship.

  5. Superheroines: The MCU is to blame for this one.

  6. Cuckolding: The act of watching your partner with someone else (and getting turned on by it).

  7. Pegging: The act of penetrating someone (usually a cis man) with a dildo (and a cis woman doing the penetrating), and C4S's 2023 fetish of the year

  8. Findom, aka financial domination: The internet has made it easy to pay your favorite creators

  9. JOI, aka jerk-off instructions: Adult creators tell viewers how to masturbate.

  10. Giantess: This one is growing (no pun intended) in popularity, so much so that C4S named it its 2024 fetish of the year.
