xHamster is a pornographic media and social networking site headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus.[1] xHamster serves user-submitted pornographic videos, webcam models, pornographic photographs, and erotic literature and incorporates social networking features. xHamster was founded in 2007.[3] With more than 10 million members, it is the third-most popular adult website on the Internet after Pornhub and XVideos. As of August 2024,[update] xHamster is the 33rd-most-visited website in the world.[4]
The site produced The Sex Factor, a reality TV series in which contestants compete to become porn stars.[5] The site has been targeted as part of malvertising campaigns, and some governments have blocked xHamster as part of larger initiatives against Internet pornography.[6][7]
