Okay, that was a cheesy heading for this post, but do you know what isn’t cheesy? Bright Desire.
Bright Desire is the new porn website from Ms. Naughty, and it is ticking a lot of boxes for me. The layout is clean and super easy to navigate, without any auto-playing annoyances or confusing menus, and whilst I love Indie Porn Revolution‘s (formerly NoFauxxx) decision to not segregate the scenes by type, sometimes it is nice to think, “I want to watch a dude masturbating” or “I want to see a couple going at it” and be able to head straight to the area that is relevant to that interest. Bright Desire allows you to easily search for scenes of solo men, solo women or couples, as well as allowing you to search extended scenes, short films, extras or interviews and it does all of this without presuming your sexuality. No straight/gay distinctions are made on Bright Desire. Additionally, scenes can be found by searching the tags; which includes everything from ‘pegging’ to ‘shower’ to ‘laughter’. Incidentally, I especially love the laughter tag because seeing people laughing and joking around in scenes is joyful, and really leaves any pretension at the door. Aside from the unique content created for this site, hitting up the ‘under the bed’ section gives you a wealth of still and moving images collected by Ms Naughty over the past 12 years; hooray for bonus porn with your porn!

The unique content for this site is, so far, rather great and it shows a lot of promise. A good serving of real couples, real spaces and real pleasure. As much fun as high end fantasy porn can be, there is something really special about watching two people who care for each other (or two people who just met and are totally into exploring each other) just going for it on a bed, or in the shower, or, well, you get the idea. The playfulness of Aeryn (Naughty Nerdy) and her partner Theo is super endearing, and the post-scene shower scene with Kara and Devon has a superbly voyeuristic quality to it. However, where Bright Desire is really doing it for me is the solo masturbation scenes. Usually I’m not crazy into solo scenes, but I think I am being persuaded otherwise by the quality and eroticism of these spoken word fantasy-soundtracked masturbation sessions. Personal highlights include Adrianna Nicole’s ‘Phone Sex’ and Jes’s ‘Solo’.

You can also get some food for thought via the reviews and columns included on the site. Ms Naughty has been making feminist (hetero-leaning) pornography for a number of years, as well as blogging about sex and smut, and can be reguarly seen popping up in comments on mainstream media with insightful, intelligent things to say about pornography, censorship, art and sexuality. This is a lady who has some great stuff to say, and it has been enjoyable flicking through the collection of her writing included on Bright Desire. There is also a wealth of fiction writing, and whilst erotic fiction is not hugely my thing, I love that this site has both the written and visual components all in the one place.

I’m very enthusiastic about more ethical and feminist pornography pushing its way into the world, and totally recommend that you check out Brightdesire.com. There is a free tour you can take to help win you over, and once you sign up for a membership you get access to all the content in both standard and HD quality along with quick downloads for mobile. Perhaps you would also like to leave me a comment letting me know what you think?

/ April 10, 2013Love the way things area real and passionate in the samples I viewed, an intimate view on peoples love life as opposed to a formulaic and often aggressive ‘fucking’ style that is so common. Very sexy.
