Flashing, girls kissing each other, topless contests, wet t-shirt contests, panty-doffing contests, and - I would guess - one helluva lot of booze, all offered here for you. In one photo I saw a sign on the wall warning that entry constituted permission to be filmed for any purpose, and one must presume that people so entering know what they're getting into.You can get either still image galleries or short videos, and there are dozens of choices. Members have access to other similar sites as well, upping the overall amount of content. DVDs of the action are available through their store. = Peter

Well, this definitely has a homemade feel to it! This site offers around nine DVDs in the "Wife Sex" and "Amateur Submission" categories. If you are unfamiliar with the "wife sex" genre, it basically consists of a married woman having sex with someone in front of her husband. The "other person" is usually a black man or a another woman. This site does a great job of explaining what you will see on the DVD, including a text description and screen shots. The "Amateur Submission" category appear new, so there is only one movie available in that right now. The movies are all shipped as DVDs through USPS first class, and you can order them through the mail or by credit card via paypal. If you are thinking of marketing your private scenes or performing in an adult movie, it appears that this company is currently taking applications. Contact info seems limited to an email form and snail mail address, so you may want to write for more info before ordering. I didn't see any information on returns, but I imagine you can find out about that by writing to the company beforehand. One of the things I like about this site is that it reminds me of the movies that you used to be able to get at the back of adult magazines in the '70's. It isn't polished at all, but there is something very raw and sexy about that. - Vamp

Second Sexe is a French language site (thankfully Jane does have a reviewer who speaks French) aimed mainly at women. The site is divided into four sections: La Médiathèque (media library), Le Magasin (store), Le Magazine (magazine), and Le Clube (club). The site really does have a little bit of everything. The media section has a range of french porn for sale as well as audio books (check out the sexy audio sample, it's very well done), and something that they're calling "Sextos" which are sexy text messages and you can order to have sent to your cell phone. The "store" section of the site sells some really cute lingerie as well as the standards (dildos, vibes, lube, bondage gear, books, DVDs). They have a 7 day return policy for unopened/unused merchandise only. The magazine section of the site is full of interesting articles (all in French, of course) on a variety of topics, including an advice column. In the club section, users can register to participate in the site's forums, ask their sexpert questions, and generally personalize their experience on the site (mark favourites, create a wishlist). All in all, Second Sexe is a good looking site and seems to be a great resource for French Speakers. - Shay

Kids these days and their newfangled porn! Why back in my day porn was nothing more than a couple horny actors, a big bottle of cooking oil, and the whole crew walking uphill both ways in the snow to get to the set. But the times they are a'changing. Now we're treated to wild and wonderful art porn like what you'll find on JumboGrabBag.com, which features performers freed from the constraints of everyday personas by means of a decorated grocery bag concealing the face. At first I thought it looked too weird for words, but as I watched the sample quicktime previews I realized I was smiling with glee. Folks masturbating in unusual locations with unusual items while wearing brown paper sacks on their heads? Brilliant! A gallery shows off stills from each performer. These open into fairly large pictures, but the thumbnails are so ridiculously small as to be useless. Right now only a "Girlz" dvd is available, but there are slots on the site for future "Boyz" and "Tranz" compilations as well. Total cost for the dvd and shipping runs $45.00 Canadian, which at this posting equals about $35.00 US dollars. --aag

One test of a niche website is when a reviewer such as myself, who doesn't particularly enjoy the fetish of the niche, still looks at it and says, "well done". That's the case here. This site is specifically for those who enjoy Adult Baby play. That is grown men [mostly, but some women as well] who enjoy being treated as if they were an infant. There is no actual sexual content to this. It's all about 'bad baby who pooped and needs to be changed' or 'tired from playing and put you down for a nap' or 'here is your stewed carrots' and such. You can order DVDs or join and downlod MPGs. DVDs are via a linked separate store. There are 16 films as of the day of review, with quite a few different mommys or baby-sitters. The films are all 'AB POV', meaning that the mommys talk directly to the adult baby, so that when you watch the film it seems as if they are talking directly to you. When choosing membership please do note that no mention is made of how frequently updates will be posted. Mail in orders or PayPal are also offered. - Peter » More Info!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to this site. So many adult movie review sites are really just white label sites, pushing VOD or buying DVDs, and therefore give every film an outstanding review. However, after a few minutes on XCritic, I would easily tell that this wasn't the case. Each review is incredibly long and detailed, with information about the cast, director, audio, and has both a review of the movie as whole, as well as as a scene by scene break down. You can see that the reviewers actually spent time watching the movies and thinking about their reactions, rather than just giving every film their stamp of approval. The sex toy reviews are hit or miss; some are really well written, while others leave something to be desired. They also have three of my favorite big-screen stars blogging for them; Stoya, Joanna Angel, and Penny Flame (well, Joanna writes more of an advice column). With great, thought out movie reviews, decent toy reviews, and awesome female talent providing content, this site definitely deserves at least a once over, and gets two thumbs up from me! - EssinEm

Ah, where but on the internet can you find videos with titles such as "Cutie Makes a Blowjob with Care and Respect"? I love charmingly-translated porn titles, and you'll find plenty of them on Porn.ee, an Estonian site full of home-made porn gems. A blog-style front page shows short embedded video clips of recent updates. In the members area, you'll find over 50 downloadable FLV movies, which you can also watch directly from the site. Each video is in the neighborhood of 15 minutes. These show various couples gettin' busy, often on an astoundingly-patterned couch. The site no longer seems to be updating but the archives will make one month's entrance fee more than worth your while. The couples portrayed seem truly to be enjoying their partners. Eye contact, smiles and appreciative noises abound. Choose the $27.95 non-recurring option as an alternative. - AAG

This site showcases the work of Tallulah Sulis, a certified somatic sexologist and massage therapist who teaches workshops on female ejaculation. The main focus is on her new DVD called "Divine Nectar". You can watch the trailer, read reviews, listen to a few podcasts, see her workshop schedule, and look through testimonials. The DVD is in the genre of "sacred erotic education", and it features a bunch of animation by Davin Dolphinfinity as well as a few interviews with folks from the San Francisco Bay area. I'd be curious to watch the video myself, although I have no idea how one becomes a "certified somatic sexologist". I think that may be a term that I have only heard applied to her, and I'm kinda skeptical about it. Anyway, the material looks interesting. The problem? I didn't see any information about shipping, returns, and such. There is just an email address. I don't like to order from places that don't share that info upfront and before ordering. So, for that reason I can't give the site a "Quality" rating. I think this material will be very interesting to folks who enjoy female ejaculation, tantra, sacred sexuality, and female empowerment! - Vamp

People are drawn to spanking sites for many reasons, and different sites fulfill extremely different needs. If you simply like seeing a young girl in "trouble" being lightly spanked by an authority figure and wiggling around, then it is a bit easier to find what you are looking for. There are a lot of sites that cater to that! If you are looking for domestic discipline, hard spankings, deep emotional catharsis, and such...that is harder to find. I happen to like all kinds of spankings, but the ones that involve real connection and catharsis tug at my heart as well as my libido. This site shows some of those, and it is one of the few that I've found. Dallas has a great sense of humor and comes off pretty humble and easy going, but he commands respect and doles out discipline like few men I've seen. I found the whole place pretty touching. There are around 128 models here, and most have a series of videos and still pictures that you can view. The movies are in rm format with sound, and you can download them at 28k-56k or dsl quality. You can purchase DVDs through the online shopping cart or through snail mail, and runtimes and descriptions are given. There is an active message board, and it seems like the members are wildly happy. I actually found out about this site from one of the members who thought it was a fabulous deal. I was skeptical and thought it might be an act of camouflaged self promotion, until I went to the site and watched the videos myself. It really is that good. There isn't a bunch of fancy shiny web design going on here folks, but there is honest to goodness cathartic kink. Highly recommended. - Vamp

BDSM is really difficult to film, and most of the time SM in the adult industry actually means Stand and Model. People put on the pvc, pull out the toys, and completely miss the energy of actual power and pain relationships. This is a site that manages to deliver something authentic, and sometimes brutal. Catherine de Sade and K offer videos that are rough, gritty, crude, dangerous, and real. In their own words, "...[H]orrible things are done to this woman; physical and emotional abuse, degradation and so much more. All in the name of love." There are a handful of homemade DVDs for sale, and each one lists a run time and has a few sample clips. They also offer clips through clips4sale, and those come with full descriptions. There is a lot of anal sex, bondage, humiliation, odd insertions, large insertions, SM, punching/slapping, and such. There is even a bit of somnophilia (sex with a sleeping person). If you know a bit about BDSM, some of this stuff may make you a bit squeamish. My own safety guidelines are quite different from this couple, so I certainly was at times. (Then again, I'm quite certain that if they could watch me they'd get squeamish as well! Such is the nature of kink.) They are consenting adults who speak to this matter clearly in their blog, "Yes, it's dangerous - get over it." Fair enough! Custom videos and t-shirts are available, and the blog is very interesting to read. A curious mixture of love, lust, and violence. Delicious and frightening. They actually captured something here that is rarely found on film. - Vamp

Tom Ecnart is an erotic hypnotist that mesmerizes men into stripping, performing humiliating acts, sock fetish, puppy play, regression, freezing, and more. He offers almost a dozen DVDs (NTSC format) on his site, and lots of downloadable clips and pics through another website (clips4sale and images4sale). There is a FAQ in the contact area with basic information, including how to contact him through online form or snail mail address. He is currently casting for new DVDs, and he also has an online form for people that want to schedule sessions. He offers duplicates of his "Hypno-Crystal" for sale as well. I loved the unique content, and greatly appreciated the clear descriptions of the sessions on the DVDs. My problem? I didn't feel there was very good ordering information available. I'd feel really leery of sending off credit card information through the mail to a stranger too. The good news? There are other ways of ordering. I think this is the first gay hypnosis site that I've reviewed, and it was nice to see this content. - Vamp

This site combines female desperation, bondage, and wetting. What does that mean? Let me put together a scenario for you. Imagine a beautiful woman in a white dress that desperately needs to use the toilet to pee, but she can't get to a bathroom fast enough. She asks for help, but soon loses control and pees in the car while racing home. It is this sort of thing that is shown on the site. There are at least a hundred free movie clips (usually about a minute long and in mov and wmv format), lots of free pictures, and over a hundred free stories. The movie clips are usually small trailers for full length productions that are for sale (through download or DVD) on the site. Run times are listed, and the descriptions of the films are extremely comprehensive. There are specialty collections for things like "just jeans", "just skirts", or tickling. There are several ways to purchase things, and they are described in the FAQ. If you are more into the audio side, I saw quite a few audio clips for sale as well. All of the models on the site are female, and a few movies show more traditional bondage as well. There is no nudity or explicit sex on the site or in the films, however. There is a message board and chat room, and it appears that the site owner really listens to the needs and interests of the people that post there. This is definitely a small operation that needs some polishing, but it appears honest and well run and offers a lot of free content. If this is your kink (and I have to admit it is one of mine), this is really a haven. - Vamp

Remember not too long ago I gave a positive review for Nasty Czech Chicks? This is an associated site, with a twist. If you join here you also link over to the original NCC site for no additional charge. What you have here is all of the behind the scene stuff. Over 40 models, 3000 pictures and over 300 minutes of video - all at time of review - and it's all bloopers, backstage, getting ready for, filming the filming, and so forth. In addition they have a store to buy their videos [four DVDs for sale when I looked], and as well you can negotiate for custom soft or hardcore videos. One nice feature is that they list all of the websites elsewhere that each model can be found on. This is a real nice companion site to the original. I do really enjoy the content at both. - Peter

From Lynn Carroll, a legend in her field, comes this "hall of fame" collection. Her field includes anal, gang bang, creampies, and lots of interracial, all in a swinger's environment. As they say here, "This site is a tribute to the wives and soccer mom's who started this whole crazy MILF thing." She has been well known around the swinger's field for many years, and I can recall enjoying her films in the early days of my work here at Jane's Guide. She brings together here archives of many of her most popular films, which are downloadable by members and orderable on DVD-R's. This is the first site I've ever seen that showed a long list of various types and models of DVD players, and told you straight up which would work with their DVD-R's and which wouldn't. Some of the films - marked vintage, for the most part - show evidence of being shot with the sorts of camera quality of years ago. That shouldn't stop your enjoyment one bit. I confess to downloading a wide selection of the films available for sampling during my review, and it was all good. Her girlfriends all seem to have similar appetites to Lynn's own, and quite a few appear in the clips offered here. The blog and photo galleries primarily link to those girlfriends off the main site. - Peter

Looks like a great deal in DVD smut from Europe here, but pay attention to a couple of things. Every film I looked at was in PAL format, and they will not play in standard NTSC American or Japanese DVD players. If you buy the wrong format for your machine, you are out of luck. If anything gets stuck at customs you are similarly out of luck. The seller is not obligated to make up your loss in either of these circumstances. That said, there are some things to recommend here. The site is available in several languages, and it is available in several currencies. The smut itself is available in a wide selection of particular tastes that will be refreshing to most folks who are only used to the smaller selection available in the states. Shipping appears straightforward and terms are clear. - Peter

This site is primarily for our UK readers, although others may enjoy it as well. The adult DVDs are region 2, which includes much of Europe but not the US. There are a wide selection of hardcore movies in dozens of categories, including over 100 amateur efforts. The entire available body of content is searchable in several ways - actor, type of smut, etc. Reviews of many DVDs are available. You can price your purchase in Euros, UK Pounds, or in US Dollars. One nice feature of these folks is that, in the interests of discretion, their standard is to ship the disc of your DVD in a plain sleeve without the DVD cover or case. If you pick this option, your postage is free. I enjoyed the wide selection available here and regretted the fact that I don't have a region-free DVD player. Terms and conditions are all explained in detail and there are snailmail as well as email options for contacting the management. Sounds like a nice place for our UK friends to shop. - Peter » More Info!

She is one of the original hot, horny housewives. You will love her ground-shaking orgasms, quality blow jobs, and giggling as cum shoots on her face. If you like to see swallowing you will not be disappointed with her abilities and commentary, she just loves it. The site has tons of original content and has been online for over 10 years. They (Hubby & Wifey) have a lot of content and role playing in their sets. The site also features several friends that submit content. Over the years the site has expanded with cartoons, as well as a store that sells full length videos of their shoots on DVD & VHS, auctions off worn outfits, and sells many wifeysworld trinkets like decals, mugs, pens, and playing cards. Flexible payment options via credit card, online check, dial in, or mail in money orders. Members get a 10 percent discount on products in the store as well. If you are looking for a site where real people are having FUN sex, this is it. The site is not all glam, airbrushed, photoshop'd or total raunch hardcore, it is just very hot sex. - Jack » More Info!

If you enjoy high end artistic porn with a kinky edge, then you are probably already familiar with Maria Beatty. Beatty is a New York filmmaker that has earned awards such as the "The Best Film" Fetish Category in 2004 at the Festival Internacional de Cine Erotico De Barcelona XII. If you aren't an arty erotic film buff, then I'll take a minute and describe what makes this particular person's work different. It plays to the psychological state of the viewer first, and draws their mind into a rich world that somehow exists between retro film noir and dark masturbation fantasies that you would hesitate to tell a lover. Sometimes the images seem to flit by like memories of an erotic adventure from the past, with a brief glimpse of the curve of a waist or a lingering gaze at gloves playing over a nipple. Other times, the scenes unfold like more tradition pornography (but with a very careful eye for detail). You'll find BDSM, lesbian, spanking, latex, leather, lace, corsets, stockings, shoes, foot worship, medical play, water sports, and a lot more here. It is sort of a grab bag of shadow sensuality. In the members area at the moment, you'll find about three and a half hours worth of film. It is broken down into clips for easier download. Clips do take awhile though, as each clip is very high quality wmv format work. I could blow each one up to full screen on my iMac and it still looked beautiful. There is a current feature section, a rotating archive, and a film schedule of upcoming events. There is a small but beautiful photo gallery of slightly over 100 pics here. Some of them show Midori. If you'd just like to purchase DVDs of interest, there is a small internet store that sells Beatty's work. The shipping/returns info isn't easily available, so you might want to ask some questions before ordering. They have both email and snail mail contact info on the site. I found the films really fascinating and hot. If you enjoy artistic lesbian aesthetic porn movies with a retro feel to them, you should definitely check this out. - Vamp

Lady D is the Mandingo Mama; she bills herself as the "biggest black cock whore on the planet." Hm. Let's take a look inside and see, shall we? Lady D is a cute, late-50s blond woman with a rockin' body and nice big tits. Joining Mandingo Mama also gets you membership into several other Florida Mandingo sites. You can preview several WMV clips; I found these to be below-average in quality. One was super-dark, another's sound was marred by a loud buzzing sound...not the sort of clips you want in a preview. There's also a page of sample images, which promise to open full-size when you click on them. Most did not open. Disappointing. Once you enter the member's area, however, things pick up. All updates are neatly organized on the main page, and there are numerous updates. Also, the main page has links to the other Florida Mandingo sites--no searching around for the promised extra sites. This is a great touch. Lady D is quite the tease; she provides very frequent but very short updates. You might find photos from one session in five or six updates. The photo quality is average; there's a heavy emphasis on large (very large) black cock disappearing into Lady D's body. She mentions frequently that her husband is the one in charge of photography--and that his penis is too small to satisfy her. Video quality is much better in the member's area than in the preview, I'm happy to report. All in all, a content-rich site for those who love interracial couplings with a healthy dose of cuckholding thrown in. - AAG

This site it ground zero for Lust Films, an adult audiovisual production company based in Spain and guided by director Erika Lust. Erika has produced award winning films such as The Good Girl, and has just released Five Explicit Stories for Smart Girls. Her porn is women oriented, which she says means that it has more style, humor, deeper characters, better music, and more realistic sex. From the teaser that I saw, it lives up to the hype. She has a journal on blogspot, and she is always looking for new talent to work with. Her contact info and information about projects are found on the site. It has a very clever design, but there is sound on the index page so be sure not to surf here unless it is okay for people to hear you. I must admit that I became confused when it asked if I liked boys or girls at the start, since I like both very much. They need an option labeled, "Yes, please. Neither one as well." Both options take you to similar information, just a different picture and sound effects. Very cute! - Vamp
