Very nicely done. This site is the erotic photography of Nancy Murrian, with a focus entirely on male models. There is nothing hardcore, although there is the occasional erect penis. The models are all good looking, the photography is all done well, and the polish of the site is very professional. With each gallery inside the member's area you can click on a poster-sized look at the cover image, or you can send an e-card with it, or you can browse through the entire gallery of that model. A nice feature - seen on many sites now - is a behind the scenes collection as well. I was disappointed that there was no option for purchasing prints - I'm certain that would be popular. Recommended for either men or women who enjoy looking at good looking men, photographed well. - Peter » More Info!

Let's say that you and your lover have had a small tiff. You'd like to send him a message to soothe his feelings...or maybe invite him over for some make-up sex. But you find that you lack the proper words. Whatever shall you do? You could sign up for an account with Erotic Purple, pay a small fee, and choose one of their messages to convey your thoughts. The site showcases quite a variety of messages, from sweet to sultry to "I'm so sorry." There are also erotic short stories, dares, and movies which can be downloaded to your phone or computer. You can pay Erotic Purple via credit card, debit card, or PayPal. They promise discreet billing. You can buy their services on an individual basis or by means of tokens; the tokens are a better value. I don't know...I might be a little put off if I found out that an anonymous stranger instead of my lover wrote to me. But really, isn't Erotic Purple providing the same service as does a greeting card? - AAG

This is a re-review for a site that has grown considerably for yet another year. Photographer Jay Greenman has been updating constantly since our initial review in 2003. The layout is still fairly simple - visitors get a few free preview pages, each with several fullsize images of graceful nude portraiture. The preview does a great job of showcasing the flavor of the site as an homage to the female form in all it's beauty, which I found absolutely refreshing in today's superhardcore online world. In addition to the photos, visitors get a downloadable screensaver and a WMV formatted video clip. The free area is also home to a free e-card section, with over 50 ecards to choose from. Visitors can also see a listing of all the models inside, with a short bio and small image. Members have access to all the galleries, with weekly updates since 2002 - a couple hundred galleries, 54 different models, all original material. The photos are lovely, the kind of photography that is becoming more rare these days of simple, soft nudes. No action shots, no "pink", rather it does have the feel of celebrating, rather than exploiting, the models on the pages. Each gallery loads thumbnails down a lefthand column, and loads images in the main frame. If you want an even larger image, you click the medium sized one and it opens the highest resolution file. Another recent addition is video clips - right now there are just 4, with more in production. In keeping with the site attitude and theme, these are interviews with the models, or playful scenes such as pillowfights or baths. Videos were offered in both WMV and MOV formats. In addition to the recurring membership plan, you can opt for a non-recurring one month for $19.95. - Jane » More Info!

Neil's Notes offers greeting cards for a variety of occasions. Why, you might ask, is a site selling greeting cards being reviewed here? Because these are adult greeting cards, of course! By no stretch of the imagination could these cards be considered politically correct, polite or suitable for your mother. You say you'd like some examples? Would you? Okay then. Who hasn't wanted to tell an enemy to *ahem* ingest fecal matter and then go to the great beyond? With Neil's Notes, you can not only say this, but also provide a picture of that very act, printed on high-quality cardstock. Ever wanted to call someone another name for the very end of the digestive tract? Hey, Neil has a card that not only calls the recipient an anus (although that's not quite the word he uses) but also shows a remarkably vivid picture of one...complete with hairy balls and a delightfully pierced cock! At the very least, you will giggle (and maybe blush) while taking in Neil's creations. Expect to be amused, titillated and disgusted.

This is fun! The service is free, and offers customized erotic fiction. You simply fill in a bunch of personalizing blanks, a from and to email, and you're presented with a customized story. Your mate is notified that the fantasy is waiting for them to request. DO note, however, the small box at the bottom of the form that you need to check if you don't want to receive "special offers". There are 3 levels of stories: sexy, X-Rated and "Off the Wall". If you do an "off the wall" it's kinda like "Mad Libs" where it just inserts random nonsense words for body parts, and such. » More Info!

Since the start of this site back in mid-1997, Jim and I have wanted to offer more reviews of things: books, toys, DVDs... and we've dabbled here and there in just that. Now, though, I'm happy to point you to Freddy and Eddy as a great source for just that. The very couples- focused site has sex and relationship articles, the reviews we mentioned above of DVDs, sextoys and so on, discussion boards and other great info. It's friendly, accessible, nicely designed and free for the browsing, so go check it out and add it to your bookmarks. :) » More Info!

Jack Henslee is an immensely talented artist with a gorgeous body of work of fine art nude, pinup and fantasy images. Unlike most of the artists in this genre, he doesn't use airbrush but rather his images are mostly either graphite pencil or colored pencil. For the interested, there is a long page on his techniques at the site. Of course if you're not interested in the technical there is plenty here for you - several galleries of images, and his fanciful "mermaid journal", a sort of fieldbook to mermaid varieties. Originals, limited edition prints and open-edition prints are all available for sale. As of this writing there is a special that includes a free 2003 calendar with purchase of a limited edition print. Oh, almost forgot - there are also online postcards available for sending, a nice additional free service. » More Info!

Not a large selection of cards to choose from, compared to many specialty sites, but these appear to be largely a tease for the sites they link to. Regardless, you can have some fun here with these predominantly hardcore [or really explicit softcore] images. Q for effort and simplicity; just don't trip over the blinking links.

This wonderful site is for the romantically intended, those who love and wish to send a song of words or images to their beloved, but who don't have the gift. Offered here is a large collection of wonderful art images from the whimsical to the baser instincts, from an assortment of artists, and as well are customizeable words in various presentations. Easiest of course are the cards, a quick drawing and a sentiment of romance, or the regret of missing a loved one, or the more sexually charged message, assembled and sent electronically. More in depth are entire vignettes ranging from casual to explicit, and customizeable with your names, your details, which you can download and personalize prior to use. There is also a poetry assortment, and also submissions in the various formats are invited from site members. This is a marvelous tool for those many of us who have music in our hearts but who can't master the lyrics ourselves. Presentation of the entire site is just as beautifully conceived and displayed as the content of the writings and art is. A very worthy addition to the adult web.

Lensfucking shows erotic images that are more sensual than pornographic. Models exuding love to the camera, photographers using their cameras as a sensual instrument. Visitors see half a dozen samples, and members have close to 20 galleries of same. Also offered is a collection of erotic stories either text or downloadable RealAudio format. There are custom erotic epostcards, a link to an adult store, submitted stories, and 100 streaming feeds. I spent a long time here just enjoying myself as a member would and had to remind myself to put my reviewer's uniform back on. I think most will enjoy their visit. Oh - and if you're surfing at work or around others, turn down or off your speakers before you visit; they have a loud moaning soundtrack playing out front.

A [mostly] free erotic online greeting card service. You have a choice of English or German, and a couple hundred images in about 20 categories. They offer to do custom work from your own images you send them, or to fill image requests, but this is their 'Gold' level of service, for CyberAge AVS members. When they applied to us they told us that there were 'NO credit card, NO AVS' here, but about half the site is under the Gold category. That misstatement aside, the site is a Q regardless [they don't misrepresent themselves to the public, just to us].
