BrightDesire Review

BrightDesire has set out to reinvent and create porn that merges art with erotica, with real passion and without cliches. Some aficionados refer to it as couple's, women, or feminist porn, but that almost sounds too simple. A range of sexual experiences, artistic direction, and sensual personal connections, culminate in sex movies that feel to the viewer as real as they indeed are.

BrightDesire is an award-winning porn studio that promotes these principles and is producing some of the most artistically revered erotic content online today.

Prices & Payment Options

• 3 Months at $37.95 - $37.95 total
• 1 Month at $22.95 - recurring every 30 days at just $9.95

BrightDesire has only these two membership options, and only the one month membership is recurring at a significantly lower rate. You can cancel at anytime from inside the members' area.

Payments are processed by CCBill, so if you already have a CCBill account, you can easily use it — exactly the same way you would use PayPal to purchase porn — to pay securely with your saved details.

Otherwise, you can pay by credit bank or bank deposit, only.

Along with expertly crafted porn, BrightDesire gives members a huge range of accompanying content, such as interviews, adult documentaries, behind the scenes footage and deleted scenes, erotic fiction, news and opinion columns, and special guest directors.

You only need BrightDesire's homepage to see the many awards that this site's pornography has received, and the many notable publications that commended the site, like Glamour, BBC News, USA Today, Vice, Cosmopolitan, even Marie Claire.

Kudos to BrightDesire, because every movie has a free preview of around 1 minute, just enough to whet the appetite, and give you a fair feel for what membership will get you on this site before you sign up.

Quality of Porn

BrightDesire isn't your average type of porn. These guys set out to embrace the relatively new ideals of feminist and ethical porn, creating adult movies that are more detailed, more real, more erotic, and more sensual.

So, you won't find cliche cheerleaders or secretaries begging for cum. What you do get is real-life couples having passionate sex and enjoying real orgasms, as well as amateurs pursuing a variety of other interests, from BDSM to anal to gay. BrightDesire also has a library of sexual education videos and openly supports the LGBTQ community.

Some information can get a bit heavy, like the almost academic article that delves into why there aren't nearly as many black women shooting porn as there are white.

Creator and lead producer, Ms. Naughty, aka Louise Lush, focuses BrightDesire's films on the men as much as she does the women, so you're getting well balanced, unbiased porn shows. This is, in part, why it's called feminist porn: Women want to see the men as much as men want to see the women. But conventional porn usually sides with male viewers, favoring cooch over cock.

This isn't just a porn site for women. Thanks to BrightDesire, you'll see as much penis as you will pussy, so everyone's happy.

And BrightDesire goes even further, backing up its many productions with star interviews, behind-the-scenes insights, screenshot galleries, and even some hilarious bloopers, to bring fans the all-inclusive experiences that this style of porn is now famous for: Sex films that are as mentally stimulating as they are sexually stimulating.

The site still has an entire section dedicated to mainstream porn, in case you're ever feeling more inclined towards that. Aptly named Under the Bed, probably because that's where many of us stash our smut, you'll find a solid selection of recognizable hardcore porn here.

If you get off watching guys cum, it's here. If you want to see real couples having genuine, real-life sex, it's here, too. Everything is filmed by pros who really get up and in there.

Many of BrightDesire's movies come with narration that details what's getting the performers going, and their award-winning film shorts incorporate some good humor. Ms. Naughty also provides members with erotic stories, porn reviews, her industry experiences, and articles.

And then, there's Ms. Naughty's almost sadistic production, Bushes, which films just the faces of women as they're getting Brazilian waxes, all put to music. It's hilarious. Ms. Naughty's vision makes BrightDesire a unique porn experience well worth checking out.

Some movies are split up into parts or sequels, and all of them are available in several formats. The highest is 720p MP4 at a resolution of 1280x720 and excellent quality playback. You can also save movies in 540p and mobile friendly formats, or stream the videos online using BrightDesire's embedded HTML5 player.

The same quality is present throughout BrightDesire's photo sets, which come at 1000x752p res. Everything is downloadable for members.

Types of Porn

BrightDesire is the brainchild of Louise Lush and showcases all of her award-winning erotic films, many of which she apparently stars in herself, but as she's chosen to remain anonymous all these years, you'll never know when you're watching her.

BrightDesire, so suitably named, strives to show how porn and art coexist, with scenes that star people having sex like they would in real life. It's not scripted, perfected, or glamorized, like a lot of mainstream porn is. If the girl is a little pudgy or unshaven, that's what you get.

For many purveyors of porn, it may be a welcome change of pace to watch realistic scenes that don't glorify unrealistic extremes of manhood that is featured in mainstream porn. Don’t get me wrong, I love sizable dicks, huge tits, and silky smooth holes, but this ain't the norm for the majority of us.

Plenty of studio producers claim to be making realistic porn, but, as we all know, what we see on screen is hardly ever what we actually experience in our own lives. BrightDesire is one of the only sites I've seen so far that comes close.

All of BrightDesire's content is filmed using two cameras and then edited together. What this does, is to ensure that the best angles and close ups are incorporated into every movie they make. And, that there's no unnecessarily long and dull sequences.

The site's more than 300 videos cover straight, gay, lesbian, couples, solo guy and solo girl, and fetish porn sex, but you won't find anything that's derogatory or fringe. BrightDesire is credited with creating realistic, loving, and sensual depictions of sex.

Of course, every BrightDesire film has a title and basic story line, but steer clear of step-sister-cum-secretary-cum-cheating-wife cliches. You'll see titles like Trinity, Linger, Scarlet Woman, Taste, It's Complicated, and Transported, headings that don't give away much at all.

What's more, BrightDesire is one of few porn movie sites that includes all of its male performers in its index of models, though you're not likely to recognize any of them. Louise Lush works with just 37 recurring performers, and they're not any adult industry regulars that I've seen before.

Two of the models, Ryan James and Lucie Bee, are apparently high-profile Australian adult stars, but, unless you happen to be from Down Under, I doubt you'd know that. So overall, there's no name-dropping here, sorry.

With its selection of just 37 stars, BrightDesire has, at least, endeavored to be inclusive and represent young, old (there's 3 MILFs), gender-fluid, black, white, and Asian porn.

Content & Update Frequency

Now, if you know me, you know I'm the God of Porn for a reason, and you know that I love wet, wild, and vulgar as much as the next guy. So, for me to say that BrightDesire delivers the goods, you know it has to be true.

All of BrightDesire's content is exclusively produced for the site, reflecting Louise Lush's advocacy for feminine and ethical porn, and is updated 2 to 3 times a week.

The content created by BrightDesire is leaps and bounds away from the stuff you see on many of today's popular porn sites. The films intentionally strive to shed many of the cliches, boundaries, and negativity attached to porn.

BrightDesire shines new light on the emotions and deeper connections that come with sex, and doesn't edit out any intimacy, humor, sexual tension, or faux pas that come with the authentic sex scenes.

Following the success of her first-ever adult film, That’s What I Like, which you can watch on the site, Louise Lush launched her independent porn studio, BrightDesire. Since then, she has steadily filled the site with award-winning films in her signature style.

But if you think this is just another happy clappy, girl-power porn site, think again. Since its inception, Ms. Naughty has been hard at work making porn inclusive to all and honed her craft to depict organic sex that doesn't get soppy or stale.

While BrightDesire's films fit into the genre of ethical, feminist porn, Ms. Naughty describes her work as more than that. She calls what does smart porn, a deliberate attempt to show everything great that people love about sex and that brings people together.

But it's actually not as simple as that. BrightDesire explores fantasy and expression, and that our brains are just as important to our sex lives as our genitals are. That's some serious porn food for thought. For me, this is BrightDesire's greatest achievement.

Pushing boundaries and rejecting current attitudes about porn and what porn is, BrightDesire sets out to create something more, and encouraging a space where anyone and everyone feels welcome and included.

Safety/Discretion

I'm happy to report that BrightDesire has no pre-checked cross sales, and everything is HTTPS secured.

BrightDesire has a brief FAQ page but members have access to a variety of support methods.

Because everything is either handled by CCBill or your bank — if you opt for bank deposit as your payment method — you don't have to worry about your info falling into the wrong hands.

If you ever read the fine print, you'll see a small notification at the bottom of the checkout page that your IP address is being logged with your transaction. Seemingly inconsequential, this is actually an important security feature to protect you from fraud.

Because you cannot be logged in from two different locations at the same time, you'll be notified if BrightDesire picks up on your account being accessed from a different IP than the one linked to your account. You'll then have to confirm that it's indeed you who's trying to login before you can go any further.

If you've ever had a Gmail, Hulu, or Netflix account (if you haven't where the heck have you been?), you'll have noticed this every time you've used your account from a different device.

Google led the charge in internet security, so if they're doing it, it speaks volumes that BrightDesire is doing it, too. And no, it doesn't matter what browser you use, you'll still have this protection from BrightDesire.

Odds & Ends

I love a site that lays everything out for its members. BrightDesire greets you with its mission statement, multiple awards, and galleries of latest movies by category. Everything you need to know about the site's ethics, purpose, philosophy, and offering is right there in front of you.

I don’t think I’ve seen an ethical porn site with as many awards as BrightDesire. Anyone can become a member of a porn site, but knowing that you’re about to unlock a treasure trove of critically acclaimed short sex films is another thing altogether.

With over 15 adult film awards, an additional 7 nominations, and over 100 international film festival screenings, BrightDesire is several cuts above the rest.

BrightDesire makes it easy to find exactly what you want. All of the site's award-winning films and shorts are arranged together, and then you can browse the rest by the Categories offered.

BrightDesire is well organized and clearly laid out, with all the headings that you need, and zero nonsense. The site knows what members are there for and gives them exactly what they want.

Conclusion

Ms. Naughty, aka Louise Lush, the anonymous feminist porn star, director, and creator of the independent adult film studio, BrightDesire, is changing the way erotic movies engages our minds as well as our loins.

Every porn movie has a title, description, and free preview. And, with regular updates and a discounted recurring monthly membership, BrightDesire will surely keep you satisfied, mentally stimulated, and coming back for more.

And did I mention the site's many adult film awards? Well, there's that, too. So, don't let any mention of ethics and femininity throw you. BrightDesire delivers.
