Seeing as how the warehouse of my rental dvd service burned to the ground on Sunday, turning more than 2000 all-girl titles into a pile of slag and interupting my regular viewing pleasure, I just subscribed.

I also recently got one of those big flat TVs with 1080 lines of res, fast refresh speeds and computer inputs so I can plug in and watch sites like this on a 40" screen.

Therefore, I'm somewhat disappointed with the quality. There are no HD options, just a standard fairly mediocre version. I wouldn't have complained five years ago, but DVD quality has spoiled me (I'm not even talking bluetooth and full HD).

It's also somewhat painful to be back to the inconvenience of downloading seven 6-minute snippets, about 15 minutes each on y dsl-speed broadband, to watch a single scene. Plus downloading them onto a flash and then burning those onto a CD so as to not load up my hard drive with naughty movies. And the cd player in my current laptop is loud as hell too. Ugh - this all makes me think that DVD's are NOT going the way of the dinosaurs any time soon. The alternative is still a big pain in the ass.

That said, the little bit I've downloaded is very nice, content-wise. They have collected a number of 40-minute "selected scenes" that appear to be just sex scenes similar in format to the ones produced by our fave studios. There's an "oiled lesbians" thread, and the first one of these I've downloaded is "Oil" - two lovely ladies getting all slippery and wet on plastic-covered mat of some sort. I'll post more when I've seen more.

Wow, Eidetix!

It's great hearing from a member who is so enthralled with his smut.
Makes me think about breaking down and joining up, rather than my usual newsgroup/lurking style.
You've inspired me to "fall in love", too.

I've now watched two scenes, one a four-way from the "selected scenes" section, and the other the "friends" scene from "house of seduction."

I have yet to hear a word spoken between the performers! Is that typical?

The "selected scene" had no context - it opens while sex is underway. This series is snipped from productions in the works, so that's understandable.

The "Friends" was very nice - two freinds in cute jammies in bed are looking at lesbian photo album, giggling and pointing, and one starts gently coming on the other, who resists. Eventually the comer-onner starts to masturbate, her now-self conscious friend keeps paging through the book for a while, but eventually plays with the other's tits and they have sex.

It's a very nice scene - slow to build, very realistic in that regard. The sex is good though it contains a few choppy cuts.

But the video quality really is a problem. We are not even talking basic VCR recording quality. I don't need to see every pimple or a gyn exam, but this is positively muddy. That's probably a deal-breaker for me long term, which is too bad - I like the site, and love the girls - some really wonderful mature, full-bodied lovelies here.

On the "Is it real?" thread I said, "TW is perhaps the most real lesbian sex I've ever seen on a screen."

I've now watched a three-hour scene that captures one uninterrupted sex-session between two women. I've never seen anything like this, and it's something that I've often longed for, because I've wanted "real" in every sense of the word. This is it.

Let me expand on that: The good scenes on GFF, SV, Triangle, Bellezza, AW, Viv, etc. are "real" in that the girls genuinely share pleasure, have orgasms, and all that. But they are still essentially contrived performances - professional porn actors brought together to have sex of a certain duration during which they must perform a certain variety of required sex acts. If the girls feel like just making out for 20 minutes, that's out. If they want to change the pace after an orgasm, spending six-seven minutes just caressing and kissing, can't do it.

The three-hour scene I watched was "The Visit," per BravoCharlie's recommendation, and it contains both those things, and much more.

Having experienced this, I'm now curious about how the standard "contrived" 40 minute scenes will appear to me. Rushed, for one thing. Or it may be that after getting my fill of "real in every sense" (not there yet) I may be happy to return to the "contrived" mainstay. Both remain to be seen.

My reservations about the video quality remain - better definition would be a major improvement - but now are balanced by appreciation of what I just described.

PS. How about another scene suggestion? My impression is that "Lesbian" does not have enough sex and nudity to pique my interest. That leaves ""House of Shame" and "Selected Scenes." The pickings in those may be skimpy as well based on these criteria (which are pretty important!)

Thanks guys!

Just to be clear, I don't mind slow necessarily, but I do want to know that eventually there is hardcore sex and nudity. Otherwise it's all anticipation and no payoff.
