Altporn is a type of pornography that features types of male and female models largely absent from traditional mainstream pornography. Alternaporn models tend to have characteristics such as tattoos, body piercings, unusually colored hair, a gothic style of dress, slightly plump appearance, etc. Generally, such pornography is produced by small-time pornography companies outside of the main pornography industry. Alternaporn on the web originated with Blueblood's GothicSluts.com in early 1999, followed shortly by Killshot's Raverporn.net in July of 1999 (now called eroticBPM.com). The website Suicidegirls.com is currently one of the more popular purveyors of this type of pornography.
