Lustery review

Let's face it, most porn is fake. Lustery.com is one of the few exceptions. It is dedicated to genuine sex videos of real life couples, straight & lesbian. It is the sister site of Ersties.

Lustery was founded in Berlin, Germany by Spanish filmmaker Paulita Pappel. She noticed that authentic, unscripted sex videos excite her the most. So she went on and created Lustery, an international sex-positive website / community for real life sex videos. Amateur couples can submit their own home videos and get paid.

I started the review by taking a look at the performers. The couples are truly amateurs here, from all over the world.
I've seen couples from Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, USA, UK, Australia, Russia, Peru, and Argentina. Most are in their 20s and 30s, but you will come across some in their 40s and 50s too. The majority are straight couples, but there are many real life lesbian couples too.

Every performer looks different, they have their own style. Many of them are part of the urban / hipster / alt / art / hippie crowds. But there are also lots of couples with a simple everyday look. The site has both attractive and normal looking people, which many fans of amateur porn will appreciate. The most important thing is that all guys and girls seem happy and excited to record and share these videos. A smile is always hot!

At the time of this review, the site had 161 couples. The number of videos was over 300 already, many couples have more than one video online. The website publishes 2-3 new videos per week.

Porn with real life partners does not mean soft porn. Yes, you'll see couples making love, intimate, tender moments, cuddling, and real kissing. But there is lots of passionate, wild fucking too, and various kinks and fetishes. Every couple is excited by different things in the bedroom—or outdoors… ;-)

Every couple is free to do and record what they like. Most movies are recorded in the couple's apartment—but there are plenty recorded in public places too, by couples who are excited by the thought of getting caught.

Most videos have pussy licking, blowjobs, and kissing is present in almost all of them. But there are many other things too. Facesitting, vibrators, anal plugs, magic wands, strapons, mouth fucking, deep throat, shower sex, anal sex, rimming, and some light BDSM. There are many videos with POV shots, with the man or woman holding the camera, showing the sex from his/her perspective.

There are no photo updates on this site. However each couple has a few fun candid photos on their page, sometimes a few nudes as well. I loved it that some couples submitted photos that were taken years ago, showing that they're in a long committed relationship.

Lustery is more than just a collection of sex videos. It has some other things too:

• Interviews with the couples are included in many videos. You get to know them a bit, and they tell you about their sex life. I think it's a great idea.
• Vlogs: Special candid videos that document one day of the couple, or some special occassion like a trip. With sex included, of course.
• Blog: They introduce new couples, share secrets from behind the scenes, write articles about sexuality, and they have their own podcast

Let's talk about the quality and technical stuff. The site is streaming-only, you can only watch the videos online. Some people won't mind, but it's bad news for those who like to download and save videos.
Every video is Full HD and good looking. While the content is truly amateur, it seems like the site's operators require the submissions to be high quality. There are many quality options you can choose in the video player, from 1080p Full HD to 160p. So you can enjoy the site on a slower internet connection too. Most videos are the classic horizontal type, but they've also started adding some vertical videos lately. Subtitles are included for the videos which are not in English.

The design of the members area has a nice friendly look. It works great on mobile phones. It's simple to view the newest videos and newest couples. You can filter by age, language spoken, and relationship. (Closed relationship, open relationship, primary partners, regular lovers, life partners.)
They adds lots of tags to the updates, which are great for filtering. Some examples: 69, After Care, Anal, Balcony, Beach, Biting, Cockring, Face-to-face, Freckles, Handjob, Male POV, Female POV, Laughing, Piercings, Spanking, Sucking Balls, Talking Spanish. I could go on and on, there are so many.
You also have your own Favorites section, accessible from your profile page. You can add videos, couples, articles to your Favorites by clicking the little heart icons on the website.

There are also some things that I didn't like about the user interface. The videos and couples page has an infinite scrolling design, similar to Twitter. You have to scroll to the bottom many times to see more couples / videos. It's annoying when you want to browse the older stuff, it would be so much easier to click "Page 2", "Page 3", etc.
When you view an update, it starts playing the trailer rather than the full video. You have to click an extra button to get to the full video. And as I mentioned, the videos can only be played online, you cannot download them.

Overall I loved Lustery. It's one of best subscriptions to have if you want to see real sex with real people. The videos are genuine, fun, unscripted, and often quite kinky. It's real amateur porn with real orgasms, but there is no garbage here. The content is curated and the quality is consistently high. Payments are handled by Epoch, which is a reliable merchant with easy cancellations, and it accepts Paypal too.

If you don't know it yet, you should also check out their sister site Ersties, which is more solo masturbation & girl-girl focused.
