Mainstream Video/DVD

This site has a bunch of adult toys, lingerie, and movies. You've likely seen these brands and products on a million other online stores. Whenever I run into a business like this, I look for the things that can set them apart...customer service and product descriptions. This site does offer measurements and runtimes (most of the time). They also have a size chart. That is great! They even have a FAQ, and there is customer service information on shipping and privacy. The problem? The contact info is just an online form. I really don't like that. Be sure to note the 30% restocking fee on items that can actually be returned. I wasn't impressed. The lack of contact info really tore it for me. - Vamp

I don't buy porn videos - I'm just not willing to invest in something that I might get sick of, or that I might not even like! And you can call me picky if you want, but I also don't really have an interest in walking into a shady local adult video store to rent a sticky movie that I have to worry about returning ASAP. Thank goodness SugarDVDs has come to my rescue! SugarDVDs offers a service not unlike "Netflicks" - except with porn. You can browse titles online, build up a movie line-up, and have porn sent to you in the mail! You can hang on to the porn for as long as you like, and when you return it the next movie in your queue will be sent to you. If you decide that you really really like a particular title you can buy it new from the site too. Or if you'd rather just watch a few minutes of your favourite scenes online, you can sign up for a pay-per-minute plan (like any good dealer, they'll give you your first 10 mins free). It's no wonder SugarDVDs won an award from AVN for being the best rental site on the interweb. - Shay

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

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

Oh, yay! That's my first response to this new site. Who wouldn't want to be able to see the spanking proofreading scene from 'Secretary', or Brad and Angelina doing their disarming tango in 'Mr & Mrs Jones', or Violet seducing Corky in 'Bound'? Dozens of mainstream movies - with more arriving weekly - featuring movie reviews and streaming clips of the hottest scenes. You have links off to other offsite reviews as well as options to buy the movie you are screening. there is a bit of advertising, but that finances this free site. One option here is to search by actor's name. Another is to click on a DVD box cover. Madonna pouring hot wax on Willem Dafoe's willie? Brando regaining his youth in Paris as Maria Schneider was losing hers? Young Dustin Hoffman meeting Mrs. Robinson? Such great fun to see the clips and in high quality. Recommended. - Peter » More Info!

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!

You know, there is a lot of content here for download to members, with long time porn star Peter North, and the stated monthly rate is about comparable to most glossy porn sites, but I have one big problem. Three pages in on the sign-up process at the bottom of the page is a small box pre-checked that gives you a 3-day $1.95 pass for a different website, which automatically converts after three days to an additional thirty buck a month ongoing charge. I'd like to encourage them on the voluminous content that is very appealing, but I just cannot give any sort of approval to the sites that do these hidden pre-checked additional billing deals. - Peter

Wow. The amount of content here is staggering. All the photos and videos are amazing quality and there is enough to get you off every day of a monthly membership. The site is extremely easy to navigate, and with 1900+ photo galleries and hundreds and hundreds of video clips the content is varied enough that you're sure to find something you'll enjoy. In addition they also provide access to more live porn feeds than I can count and some neat adult games. A sex toy and apparel store and a live webcam chat interface round the site out. On the down side, everything on this site is designed as an upsell. Each photo gallery and video clip is an outtake from one of the 400 DVD videos they currently have for sale and is set up with a convenient buy now button. So, while the content is great for the price, the constant upsell really turns me off.

Whoever said that good things come in small packages must have been referring to Luana Lani. At 5'1" tall this Filipina beauty may seem unassuming but in each and every frame she's larger than life. The site features Luana in tasteful nude and non nude glamour shoots. You won't find any spread shots here. In the members area you will find over 236 photo galleries and 167 videos available for viewing. Luana has an online diary and a message board so she can communicate with her fans and does live webcam chat shows on a regularly scheduled basis. She did not have a show during the time I reviewed the site, unfortunately. Visitors also have the option to buy Luana's DVD's and worn lingerie. Everything about this site screams quality. I highly recommend visiting if you enjoy glamour shoots featuring cute, petite, women. Good bang for the buck.

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

It's nice when you find a large porn site which both promises and delivers a lot. Many are full of promises - Karups delivers. Members have access to both image galleries and video galleries, and there are simply tons and tons of content available for members. I've been going through their video collection for an hour now, and haven't come close to previewing, let alone watching, all of it. The image galleries are similar. The content appears to be roughly about 50% solo women, with 25% each of girl/girl and boy/girl. It all appears to be of a fairly uniform level of quality. Downloading the movie clips is smooth and easy - they average 5 to 7 minutes each, two to four clips per movie. They do offer DVDs of their videos for sale as well. Recommended. - Peter » More Info!

Napoli is a home for folks who want classic big busted softcore videos. They have quite a few, and you can view all the box cover detail, actresses, and so forth online. Ordering is varied, from an online secure ordering form to email, snailmail, fax, or 1-800 phone. The contact information is clear and easy to find. Prices are clear and discounts start with two films on up in quantity. They have a link to a separate video on demand feature, but it is run by a third party and I wasn't able to review it. There is fairly full information concerning how you can contract for a custom film to be made, which is quite an undertaking. There was no info about returns on standard orders, which is a big point for me. If they add more specific information about terms & conditions [i.e., terms and procedures for returning defective merchandise, shipment times, etc.] they will easily have a Quality rating next time they are reviewed. - Peter » More Info!

Comstock Films takes its name from the late 19th-Century prude and censor Anthony Comstock, who devoted his life to the eradication of erotica. The current-day Tony Comstock and his wife, Peggy, now create high-quality explicit films that show the sexual relationship of a couple in the context of the rest of their relationship. The Comstock Films site contains both Tony's and Peggy's blogs, an order page, and an impressive list of great reviews and awards given to their films. When you visit the site, you can also view longish QuickTime previews of Comstock's current and upcoming releases. These are super-hot; you'll only want to view them when you have the time and privacy to enjoy them fully. Contact information and a return policy (30 days for defective opened discs or unopened discs) are clearly spelled out. I've seen several of Tony's films. You will not be disappointed by the quality or the sexiness of his work. - alwaysarousedgirl » More Info!

Tulip is an outgrowth of research that began at the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business, which has grown to two brick-n-mortar shops in the Chicago area in addition to this web-based shop. A woman-owned company, they aim to appeal to both men and women with an upscale, common sense, and user-friendly presentation. They offer instruction both in essays on the site and as well in classes given in their shops. In addition they will schedule home parties at your convenience [presumably in the Chicago area, I'm guessing]. You would be hard tested to find a site with more clearly offered information about terms, shipping, contact information - even the bus routes to find their shops. They try to stay on top of the research about possible carcinogenic ingedients in sex toys, and to only offer those items thought to be safe. They have a wide selection of toys ranging from one-of-a-kind glass insertables to the more usual Hitachi Magic Wand, and on to anal toys, videos, cock rings, feathers, nipple clip bells, and much more. Although a recent [2005] entry to the business from everything I can see these folks following well in the example set by Good Vibrations, Toys in Babeland, and other leaders in this field. = Peter » More Info!

HisXpress is an all-gay video merchant, offering films in either VHS or DVD [NTSC only - no PAL available]. Ordering is via secure shopping cart, with other options available of fax or toll-free telephone. They make crystal clear that any shipments which fail to clear customs are the burden of the purchaser, but they do have various shipment options for international customers to mitigate the possibility of this. Also made clear is the simple reality anyone should know that in buying porn - and this would include gay, BDSM, straight, or whatever - the box art may well not be a great indicator of what is inside. Caveat emptor, and it's nice of them to state it right up front. Prices vary widely from one film to the next. - Peter

This adult store is the web presence of a Canadian company in New Brunswick. It is in French and English, and it features a wide variety of products. Unfortunately, the products are sometimes just titles with item numbers next to them or super small pictures with no size chart or gigantic catalogue scans. They give the address of their retail location along with other contact info. You can order by phone or pdf form. I was really turned off by the presentation of the products and the general lack of info given about movies and lingerie. - Vamp

This is one of those websites that I just love to share! It is an online "school" that teaches erotic massage through streaming video and online discussion. The faculty is very impressive. You'll find Joseph Kramer (founder of the Body Electric School), Annie Sprinkle, Carol Queen, Chester Mainard, and many others. Your subscription gains you access to a special message board with ongoing lessons, and over 10 hours of high quality educational videos that teach sex positive exploration of genital massage, anal massage, masturbation, and more. The downloads are lightning fast, and available in three sizes. Many of the lessons can be placed directly on your ipod and taken with you. If you need more extensive help, you can contact instructors for phone sessions (this is extra and available through the store). Speaking of which, the store offers a wide variety of the materials that the lessons come out of so that you can easily just pick up a DVD by a favorite instructor and learn at home using that. I am listing this site as "Original", but I want to explain that a bit. The materials seem to be pulled from the DVDs that these folks have put out so far. For example, many videos come from "Fire in the Valley". The thing is, I haven't seen these clips available elsewhere on the web...and I've definitely never seen them offered in conjunction with online discussion with these faculty members. There are also many future lessons that will be from unique sources. All in all, it is a great value and a wonderful resource. I want to mention that the lessons are pansexual, so you'll see interaction that is male/female, male/male, and female/female. There is also some crude language (ie "asshole") that could turn off some massage fans. As for myself, I loved this place! - Vamp
