So im what you may call a noob to piracy, and im still learning the ropes, so im starting with direct downloads. Porn in my area usually needs very personal info to even watch in my area, which i do not feel ok giving to a 18+ site.

So how can I download porn, hentai, Japanese porn, and such media safely or atleast watch it without needing some very personal info like a id or image of myself? Ive looked over the megathread, but im not sure where to start or what sites work for my needs.

If you're wondering, I'm 20, and yes i have a problem.

as mentioned in another comment, yt-dlp works great. there are graphical versions of it that i haven't used. i use it on linux but it has a windows version too. full discolosure, i haven't used it to download videos in awhile, i mostly use it for music, so this info might be outdated.

the basic premise is you find the video you want to download, copy the URL, paste it into the yt-dlp program and it downloads the video.

there are a ridiculous amount of options however, the github might seem intimidating if you aren't a programmer or very tech savvy. there are plenty of better written tutorials online. once you get it to work, it's easy after that.

if you are in the U.S. try pornhub, xvideos, xnxx, xhamster or tblop. the ID requirements vary from state to state, so if the first 4 don't work, keep trying off tblop until one is found. there's also streaming archivers like archivebate and peachterbate.

one last thought, if you don't have ublock origin, get it. if you have it, make sure to go into the options and check the all the 'annoyances' boxes. i think it removes the 'we need a picture of your id' messages on a few sites.
