| Bottom Line: |
I first heard of Erika Lust while watching podcasts about sexuality and how it and people are changing. I did not know – at the time, she had this website. There are obvious concerns for us who are used to all the standard or base features we are used to. Downloads are not available and there are hardly no user features. The site is broken down into categories, movies or series. There also is an option to watch “live TV” which looks like a compilation of their scenes. I only used the section for reviewing purposes and it looks similar to their videos section, you can select your preferred niche and it loads a scene. Why the higher score? I believe from my own experience, there is a major market for “queer” porn and Erika Lust does this genre as good as I have seen.
I am in no way an expert on the subject, but I have – in life and in getting to know various cultures, learned that the not typical or not status quo sexually is becoming much more common. This site offers what are equal to DVDs to stream with the scenes telling a story or sticking to a theme. You are going to see straight sex, anal, oral, group, lesbian, bisexual and each of those niches are represented good. The eroticism part is also evident. The movies at least do follow some kind of plot and for the most part – do a good job of conveying the niche.
I do believe allowing downloads would help this site, but maybe I am just looking at it from a reviewer standpoint? In some sort of way, it seems like not allowing downloads just helps the site fit more into the not fitting into norms motto the site promotes. The models are more well-known than I realize. Each of the scenes has a user comment section and it seems some members know the majority of the models. Being a fan of BDSM porn does not expose me to many mainstream porn stars. One could assume the models are established stars based on their looks and their performances. I could be wrong on this, but I am not familiar with many sites offering a non-mainstream niche with mainstream stars. I do see a lot of potential with the site and the belief this niche is growing rapidly.
The site itself is an excellent view of a well-made site. It is easy to use, the images you see are large and clear. The colors do not clash. I think I look at this niche as if it will eventually become the new mainstream. The group scenes are very good and even better if the models of both sexes are bisexual. It’s not a totally unique niche, but it is one we do not see a lot of. Having a logical and flowing story makes it even more unique as this type of niche is an example of a niche being the story. I like it a lot, but would like to see more user options – especially downloads. |
