Now, we're not going to pretend that this list is in anyway definitive. First of all, it's based on Alexa rankings, which should always be taken with a very large grain of salt; secondly, it's not clear what, exactly, was used to determine a website's altness (God's Girls, which some might happily include in the genre, is nowhere to be seen on the list, despite having an Alexa ranking that trumps all but that of SuicideGirls—and don't even get us started on Zivity).

But, all that aside, we have this list, and so we might as well use it to tell you a bit about some of the world's foremost altporn sites. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite thing!

SuicideGirls: Though SuicideGirls was hardly the first alt site to hit the web, it was one of the first to garner massive amounts of attention. The combination of hot young tattooed girls, beautiful photography, fancy social networking tools, and some really slick marketing and branding all combined to make one hot site. Years of success have also meant years of drama, including a whole host of models who accuse SG of not treating them well. Some also argue that the focus on adding more and more models has diluted the site's quality (then again: nearly 2000 models!).

Burning Angel: The brainchild of Fleshbot Supreme Commandress Joanna Angel, Burning Angel brings all the best in sexy punk girls, hot hardcore vids, and all the online community you could want on a porn site. Also, Joanna Angel (nuff said, we should think).

Crazy Babe: Photographer Bob Coulter shoots just about every alt model you could ever hope to see naked, including more than a few who've earned the coveted Crush Object^TM title. However, all the photos are shot by Bob Coulter, who shoots in a dark, distinctive style. If you don't like his photos, you probably won't like the site.

Gothic Sluts: One of the first sites in the Blueblood Network, Gothic Sluts features goth girls... in the nude. Over the many years they've been in play, Forrest Black and Amelia G. have tapped some of the finest fetish models we know to appear in their work.

Lazerbunny: Along with Burning Angel, Lazerbunny is one of the few alt sites to break the hardcore barrier and go, you know, deeper. More than a few lovelies are featured on the pages of Lazerbunny, including, yes, the one and only Fleshbot Supreme Commandress Stoya, who was a Lazerbunny contract star in the days before Digital Playground snapped her up.

Broken Dollz: The founders of Broken Dollz wanted to make a porn site unlike any other—they ended up with one very much like all other alt sites. We'll forgive them that, however, as long as they continue to shoot hot models... naked.

Razor Dolls: Razor Dolls had photos, movies, softcore, hardcore, Stoya—and yet they haven't updated in over a year, so, uh, they might not be your first choice for new favorite thing.

Supercult: Though Supercult was one of the original alt sites, launching around the same time as Suicide Girls, it never quite rose to the same prominence as some of its siblings. However, now that alt legend Apnea is in the mix, perhaps that will change.

Erotique Digitale: A collection of photos by photographer Kelly Lind, who—like Bob Coulter—has attracted some of the finest models we know. Dana Dearmond, Jana Cova, Joanna Angel, and, yes, Stoya... need we say more?

No Fauxxx: Self-described as porn made by ladies, artists, and queers, No Fauxxx is a truly alternative "alt" site. Featuring every body and every gender, it's a porn site like no other. Or at least no other that we've seen.
