Mainstream pornography refers to pornography produced and distributed by large porn production companies.

Defining mainstream pornography is more easily done by defining it in opposition to independent pornography. Independent pornography typically is geared toward a specific genre or sexual interest. Independent pornography will usually involve a specific fetish or be targeted for a specific audience. Mainstream pornography will appeal to a more broad audience.
