Eight Ways to Watch Porn on a Smart TV
In recent years, streaming movies, series, and TV programs via smart TVs or external HDMI receivers (HDMI dongle / HDMI stick) has become popular. This is called video-on-demand, or VoD for short — i.e. “videos on demand”. External data carriers such as video cassettes, DVDs, and Blu-rays have disappeared dusty in the depths of the living room closet or in the basement.
Curiously, the porn industry seems to have slept through this development. As if in a parallel world, the scene continues as it did 20 years ago: Masses of erotic films and porn are still produced on DVD, which you can buy on DVDErotik and OpenErotik, for example. Many porn producers also bake their own bread and offer their films on their own websites in a subscription model for streaming and downloading.
Thus, porn consumers are still tied to a stationary Windows or Apple Mac computer, or to a laptop, smartphone (cell phone) or tablet via an internet browser.
In this article, we would like to give you tips on how to stream porn to a TV. We’ll explain why people do it and what the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods are.
Why Do You Want to Stream Porn on a Smart TV?
Before we explain the different technical options for streaming porn movies to a TV, we will deal with the question of why people want to watch porn on a TV.
There are numerous reasons why you would like to watch porn not only in the hidden closet on a PC, notebook or smart device.
a) Big smart TV in the living room
In the living room, almost all modern people now watch on a large smart TV via streaming providers such as Netflix, Amazon, Prime, Joyn, Disney+, Apple TV. Probably the biggest advantage is that you can see the picture nice and big, and you can sit comfortably on an armchair or couch.
However, many of them also want to watch porn there. Here is good advice expensive, how to get porn on TV.
b) TV in the bedroom
Very many people have a second TV in their bedroom and want to watch porn on it. Since there are no other electronic methods (HDMI sticks), they would like to stream the sex movies to a smart TV from their lap, or wirelessly from a notebook, tablet or smartphone.
c) Greater acceptance by women
The Internet has led to more and more women becoming interested in porn. Watching porn together has become as normal for very many couples as a cozy Netflix video night.
Many of the couples want to watch porn together on the TV comfortably on the couch or in bed. If the wife, girlfriend or life partner likes porn, wireless screen streaming makes absolute sense and again increases porn acceptance significantly.
Why Aren’t There Easy Porn Streaming Solutions like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+?
For many porn consumers, the questions are: how can you watch porn on your TV? Why are there no porn apps? Is there no HDMI stick, like Amazon Prime?
Unfortunately, no. Porn is a red rag for all electronics manufacturers. No one wants to deal with the dingy subject of porn movies. There are no apps on the streaming sticks and smart TVs that allow easy porn streaming. Only the American provider Roku had made this possible. Since March 2022, Roku has also banned porn.
As a result, the porn industry remains in a hidden parallel universe to this day. But there are ways you can watch porn very comfortably on a TV. We will explain you how to do it in this guide.
Streaming Porn on the TV — Eight Ways to Transfer Images
To watch porn on a smart TV, you have eight options:
