Does Netflix Have Porn? What Parents Should Know

Recently, a tweet went viral after someone discovered that a kids' show (Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous) on Netflix included LGBTQ themes. It sparked discussions among families, and even concern about what kind of content their kids might come across on the platform.

That naturally raises another question: Does Netflix have porn? Is there any explicit content hidden among its titles? Let's take a closer look.

1Does Netflix Have Porn?

The short answer is no. However, there are various collections of movies and series with intense sexual scenes and adult-oriented titles on the platform.

Take Shameless for instance, it includes frequent sexual scenes, from incestuous threesomes to office sex with a professor. Another sexually explicit movie available on Netflix is 365 Days, it offers scenes that you might see in adult films, such as bathroom sex.

2Pornography vs Netflix's Adult Content

Although Netflix doesn't offer porn, it hosts titles containing intense sexual themes and scenes. So, what are the main differences between the two?

Pornography typically focuses on explicit sexual acts from beginning to end with little or no narrative, while Netflix's adult content is often part of a movie or show.

3Can You Hide Netflix's Adult Content for Your Kids?

It is easier for kids to find sexual or adult movies on Netflix with the built-in search function. In addition, some blogs even share curated lists of Netflix titles known for their sexual content.

So if you're worried your kids might come across something inappropriate, it's time to take control to hide or block adult content on Netflix.

Thankfully, Netflix has a built-in parental control tool that allows parents to manage kids' activities on Netflix as long as each child has their own profile. With Netflix parental controls, you can:

1

1. Set up TV and movie rating
2. When you set a maturity rating for your kid's profile, they won't have access to movies or TV shows that are above the designated rating.

2

1. Block or allow titles
2. By entering a TV show or movie name, you can easily block specific movie or TV show titles on your child's Netflix. Once you've done that, the movie title will no longer appear on your kid's content menu and search results.

3

1. See viewing history
2. Netflix allows parents to check the TV shows and movies that have been watched on each profile that is linked to their account.

4

1. Lock a profile
2. If you don't want your kids to switch from their kids' profile to another profile that has access to adult-oriented movies, you can simply lock the profile with a 4-digit PIN.

5

1. Turn off autoplay
2. This can greatly prevent exposure to mature previews.
