Eros Portal

Ok, maybe I’m just feeling bitchy today, but some things sort of stick in my craw. We got an email from Brigham of X-Art.com saying the following:

We’re proud to present the world’s first erotic music video, featuring our newest model, Kat – undressing, dancing and having several mind blowing orgasms!

Kat : Back in Black – Erotic Music Video
TUNE IN, get TURNED ON… and ROCK OUT to the world’s first erotic music video!

I know internet sites — especially porn sites — are given to inflated claims, but gimme a break! The world’s first erotic music video? I seem to recall David Bowie making some music videos about 25 years ago that got people all steamed up, in one way or another. And more recently of course, X-muse.net has produced two very nice erotic music videos. And I seem to recall a fellow going by the name Snoop Dog making some porn video some years ago which I suspect would quality (I haven’t seen them so I can’t say exactly). And I rather suspect that other people have had the notion to make music videos with people fucking.

It nice that Brigham finally has video on his site, but I have to wonder why he feels the need to make this claim? Does he really think he’s the first? Is his ego that inflated or does he real not get out that much?

Anyway, from what I saw on the trailer, the video is not that bad — the editing is a bit choppy and the music is 4th rate — but if you turn the sound off it’s OK. The girl is pretty and not quite as skinny as sometimes. Overall — except for the music — it’s not a bad effort.

Now if he’d just stuck to the facts and said. “Hey, I made a music video! It’s my first!” I would not have had to post this little rant. But check out the video. As I said, maybe I’m just being a little bitchy today.

We visit (and join – purely for professional reasons of course) good sites, some not-so-good sites, a few that annoy us, and occassionally one that makes us feel kinda ripped off. Juliland, Richard Avery’s site, is unfortunately one of the latter.

Richard Avery is a decent photographer who works with good models and has interesting ideas. Juliland is a slick, well-designed site. But what you see in the free area is — well, we can’t say it not what you get because it’s pretty much all you get. The member’s area is sparse the point of one big WTF???

It’s not just that Juliland’s webmaster or Richard Avery — whoever is in charge — only puts up 15 to 20 photos in a set. After, one of our favorite sites, X-muse.net, usually puts up about 20 featured images in a set, but to us there is a big difference: X-muse puts up what they feel are the best images, be that 20 or 16 or 35, and then they post additional images (about 50 or so on average) in case you don’t agree with their selection. More importantly however, they put up a decent selection, not a few images that look like they were just dumped from the camera in the order they were shot and posted, so that half or more are bascially the same image with minor variations.

Don’t believe us? Click to see the rest of this post below. We posted thumbnails of a two full sets to demonstrate what we mean. The second set — of Dita Von Tease — is another beef of ours with his site. In their promo material Richrd Avery makes a fairly big deal of having Dita on Juliland; what he conceals from people is that of the two sets he has, she is entirely clothed in one set and topless in only a few shots in the other.

Now we do not insist that every photo of every model feature nudity, but Juliland is a pretty hardcore site and he sells it as such in his free area so by using Dita to promote his site, he’s clearly intends to raise expectations he knows he will not fulfill. Yes, we know that Dita does not do hardcore as rule (a rule she broke for Andrew Blake) but to feature clothed shots of her on a pay site and then brag about it is deceptive.

If Juliland did what X-muse.net does (and we wish more sites did): show you the thumbnails from each set, you would know what you are getting into. But of course that would give the game away.

Now, to be fair, Juliland does have a reasonably sized video collection and the quality of the videos is overall not bad technically. If you consider Juliland to be a video site with a few boring repetitive photos thrown in as an afterthought, then the site isn’t as bad as I make it out to be. The videos are also rather boring and repetitive IMHO and the sound tracks are kind of obnoxious, but your mileage may vary.

So, no we aren’t going to link to Juliland. If you are curious, by all means check it out and join if you are a fan of Richard Avery or like small repetitive photo sets and boring videos shot with good technical quality.

Otherwise, we suggest that you stay away from juliland.com.

Or: It’s hard to be Humble when you are an Asshole at Heart 

We lurk on many websites — that’s our job. We sift the good from the mediocre; the assholes from the decent folk. This last is not a hard job admittedly. Assholes are in no short supply on the internet, but the thing that makes our lives really easy is that they rarely  feel the need to disguise themselves there. Still and all, it does gives us a bit of a thrill when an asshole, especially one in charge of a fairly big website, throws us a bone as juicy as the one you did today. (Ed. Note: Angelo Sotira is the CEO and reputed founder of deviantART Inc. His profile lists him as being a  28 yr-old Male. This is probably significant. His deviant Art handle is spyed .) 

So without further ado, let’s get right down to it and anatomized exactly why you are an asshole of such breathtaking proportions. (Feel free to feel flattered; that isn’t a title we’d bestow on just anyone.)

If you are looking for real, geniune Lesbian BDSM, there is only one place to find it: darkPlay, the original Lesbian BDSM site founded in 2000 by Zille Defeu and her RL partner Alexi to document their lifestyle and their kinky adventures with their very hot friends. Zille and Alexi have moved on but darkPlay remains true to its founders, continuing present real couple enjoying what they actually enjoy!

Don’t be taken in by Chanta Bitches or anything by Kink.com — those are not real lesbians or real BDSM; they are LA porn stars pretending (sometimes well, most time not) to indulge in some BDSM-like activities on camera for pay.

If you want to real thing, not faux BDSM bankrolled for by rich guys, darkPlay is the only place you will find it.
