The Internet Adult Film Database, better known as IAFD.com, is the most comprehensive and authoritative source of information on the adult film industry and its related entities. It is considered to be the definitive guide to adult entertainment by critics, scholars, and fans alike. The database features over 727,534 titles and 218,001 performers and directors including biographical details, reviews, images and more.
IAFD.com was established in 1998 with the mission to provide accurate data on the adult industry that would enable furthering scholarship in a field largely overlooked by mainstream thought. Since then it has grown into not only an invaluable resource for academic researchers studying gender dynamics or technological developments in the medium but is also used by every corner of adult entertainment from policymakers crafting legislation to producers trying to fill their casts or find suitable locations for filming.
Unlike other sources of information about porn such as Adult Video News or review sites like XCritic which typically focus just on available content or media coverage respectively IAFD strives to capture a comprehensive snapshot of a vast but often transient industry with quick turnover rates on both its production staff and products alike. Data such as nominations & awards from major industry ceremonies are collected along with background diction for performers such as physical descriptors & relevant tattoos obtained from direct input by actors themselves creating one of the most complete online resources around for anyone interested in learning more about any sector of adult media from production studio histories to director discographies that can be freely accessed without personal accounts via searchable databases & sleek browse tools.
By maintaining close relationships with many key authors & contributors who offer updates periodically either directly submitted or observed & inputted through ongoing maintenance crews IAFD keeps its archives up-to-date ensuring that visitors receive only the latest resources linking them quickly to pertinent websites forums podcasts discussion groups & much more all in one easy place satisfying even the most demanding research criteria while simultaneously inspiring fans from around the world to dig further into this unique cultural phenomenon through various educational paths condensed within their online platform.
