xHamster, stylized as XHAMSTER, is a pornographic video sharing and streaming website, based in Limassol, Cyprus.[1] It was founded Oleg Netepenko and Dmitri Gussew in 2007.[3] xHamster serves user-submitted pornographic videos, webcam models, pornographic photographs, and erotic literature, and incorporates social networking features. It is the 31st-most-visited website in the world, and the third-most-visited adult website, after Pornhub and XVideos.[4]
The site produced The Sex Factor, a reality TV series in which contestants compete to become porn stars and OnlyFans 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]
