Monday December 8th 2008 - Ultimate Celebs
We revisited Ultimate Celebs today (read our old review here).
It still offers a solid amount of celebrity video clips - over 20,000 to be more specific. They all origin from Hollywood movie productions, TV series or other TV shows. And the celebrities span from actressess to athletes and singers.
The quality of the clips depends on where the clip origins - some are standard video quality while others are high definition. The come in Flash streaming and downloadable AVI files. Streaming has several quality options while there is only the highest quality download option.
Some celebrities also have photo galleries of mainly paparazzi shots from various events. It is far from all celebs who have photos though, so don't count on your favorites having so.
All in all Ultimate Celebs delivers a solid performance. There is lots of different movie genres and from old to new productions, and with close to 5,000 celebrity names, most popular ones will be among them along with a lot you never heard of too.

Tuesday December 9th 2008 - Sapphic Erotica
What is more beautiful than love between a man and a woman? I tell you - love between two women. Let's face it - there's a reason most men get turned on by seeing two girls together. It's much more aesthetically appealing two see two female bodies in a hot makeout session than a girl with a dude. Plus it's also a little bit forbidden and taboo. Would Katy Perry's hit "I Kissed a Girl" have been just as huge with the title "I Kissed a Guy"? At least it wouldn't have gotten so much attention in the media.
On Sapphic Erotica there is nothing taboo about lesbian love. In fact there is not a single guy on the entire site. The only guy involved with the site is the webmaster, Bailey, who decides what content is good enough for the site. He has specific requirements - for example he loves kissing, fingering, pussy licking and ass licking. Toys are also featured to some extent.
There's 1245 photo sets and 721 videos. One video or photo set is added per day.
Videos (the newer ones) come in high definition (1280x720 WMV) and numerous other formats. They are around 20 minutes in length typically. They look great although with a slight tendency to fuzziness sometimes. Pictures come in 3 sizes up to 2000x1330 pixels.
The action is true to the site's mission of providing authentic lesbian action with kissing, pussy licking etc. Many of the models are teens among 18-23 years old. Most models also seem to be from Eastern Europe and are known from other photography sites like Babelicious, 1 By Day etc.
You will be hard pressed to find a better lesbian site anywhere on the net. Sapphic Erotica focuses on this specific type of lesbian content and does it very well.

Wednesday December 10th 2008 - Figure Baby
The erotic photography site Figure Baby has existed for a little over a year now and currently offers 152 photo sets of 18 different amateur girls. Some girls have two or three sets so far and at least one girl has 20.
The site is apparently run by one guy who has carried out a dream of creating his own erotic nude photo site. To be honest I am not sure I would go as far as calling the photos artistic nudes, since some of the photo sets aren't all that elegant or technically advanced. But the photographer obviously experiments with lighting and poses.
Photo galleries have 60-100 images each and come in three different resolutions. They generally look good and are sharp and crisp, but some have a tendency to noise in dark areas. A few blurry shots are among them too. Overall though it's pretty good.
The amateur models pose in various settings - often in a completely basic studio setup in front of a screen or on a couch. Most sets start with the girl in clothes and then undressing. There is nudity involved although rarely with explicit poses like spread open legs etc. - they do happen occasionally though.
There are no movies to speak of - I spotted three videos which were all done interview style with a bit of nudity as well. Photos are the top priority here.
So overall Figure Baby is a relatively small site with a pretty clear mission carried out pretty decently. It doesn't overwhelm you with tons and tons of content, but on the other hand it delivers enough to justify the relatively low price tag. A new set is added every 2-3 days.

Thursday December 11th 2008 - Homegrown Video
Even though we've all seen porn stars do what they do best - have sex in front of the camera, many of us still think there is something more genuine and interesting in seeing actual amateur couples have sex like they normally would - maybe even in their own bedroom or living room. Being able to peek inside everyday people's sex life and feeling like a voyeur is simply extremely fascinating.
Luckily since it's such a popular thing, there's lots of amateur porn available on the net. Not everything you can find is actually true amateur content though.
On Homegrown Video however, the footage they offer is in fact authentic amateur couples enjoying eachother in front of a camera lens.
Homegrown Video has existed since 1982 - back then it was only a video production company selling amateur content on video tapes. A collection of series they have expanded and still sell today. And it is this massive amateur collection that is the basis of the site. Each video tape or DVD contains a number of amateur scenes. These are available on the site divided into scenes and categorized by contents.
Videos are offered in 3 different quality options up to 720x480 at 2.14 Mbps. And they look pretty good although the bit rate could have been a little higher. They are also available as streaming videos. There's over 1550 scenes at present time and the older ones come in somewhat lower quality.
There's a number of photo galleries there as well, but some of them are screen shots from videos and not super high quality - it's definitely the videos that are this site's main asset.
So if you like Homegrown Video's style of content I can recommend the site since it will offer tons of similar content.

Friday December 12th 2008 - Stunt Cock Tryouts
Few jobs seem as apppealing as being a male porn star. You earn a living by fucking beautiful girls all day. How sweet would that be? Very, obviously. The sad truth is that it is actually hard work and not as easy as one might think.
Think about it - the whole set is ready, cameras are rolling and the female co-star is wet and willing. All you got to do is get your cock hard. Far from all men are able to do that. If you are, the next challenge quickly becomes apparent. Don't cum too soon! Porn scenes last longer than 5 minutes and not all footage can be used, so to fill a 25 minute scene you typically have to have an hour's footage. This means you have to stay hard for an hour while a professional porn star is blowing and fucking you.
Now we are getting closer - the last remaining task is to cum on command. A male porn star needs to be able to cum pretty much whenever the director tells him to. Without a cumshot a porn scenes wouldn't be complete.
Stunt Cock Challenge is a sort of adult talent show where guys get the chance of a lifetime to prove that they are able to do what I just described above.
A scene starts with a brief interview and the female porn star Mandy More checks out the guy's body and "weapon". He must then prove that he can get hard - Mandy helps by stripping, masturbating or lap dance on him. If he passes, a blowjob is up for him next. He must show that he is able to cum at the end. If he makes it this far, he must now fuck Mandy More.
While this whole idea might seem very interesting it is also a bit frustrating that not much proper fucking goes on here. The guys simply don't deliver what they hoped they would. There is a couple of bonus sites though to make up for the lack of real fucking on this site.
Movies are shot in high definition and look great. Unfortunately the server speed is slow and they take a good while to download. They also come in clips, streaming and other formats.
So the site has an interesting concept and executes it well, but it might not appeal to those looking for full on hardcore porn.
