Beautiful Agony
This is a truly unique site that I've been intending to review for some time. The entire site is devoted to videos of people masturbating to orgasm - but shot ONLY from the shoulders up. It's all about eroticizing the facial expressions and sounds during "la petit mort", and in focusing on this they've come up with one of the more arousing sites around, with absolutely no nudity. The videos are shot and submitted by contributors, sometimes they also include a "confession" where they talk about their orgasms, sexual history, feelings about how orgasms look and sound, and so on. There isn't much to preview, other than pages of small images that link to the join screen and a sample video file, although if you click "overkill" you'll find the free blog portion of the site that often contains erotic stories. Agony contributors are about equally male and female, another unique attribute to the site. Inside the members area you'll find a great layout and design (look at more info for a screenshot) where you set up your viewing preferences, then browse away. Videos are either WMV or Quicktime format, with two different resolution options depending on your connection speed. As you're browsing through, you can save particular clips to "favorites" to find them easily later, or mark things as already viewed, which was tres cool! One of the things I found the most fun was actually watching the confessions, it's an interesting and entertaining look at how various people feel about sex. The masturbation videos are very hot, although I have to be honest that I ended up viewing very few of them because I didn't feel like getting turned on while I was in the office. Confession: though I view lots of porn, I rarely get turned on by any of it anymore. This site did something for me though. heh. Anyhow, there are hundreds of clips online, maybe half of them with a corresponding interview style confession. Great site, truly sex-positive and one-of-a-kind.
