Interview: Homegrown Video

A while ago we posted a series of interviews with webmasters of different pay sites. Here is another one. This time with the guy from the hugely popular amateur porn site, Homegrown Video.



Question: First off, I wanted to ask how did you come into the adult genre?
Answer: My wife and I started out as submitters to the original Homegrown Video in 1992, when the internet was still just a bunch of bbs'.

Question: What made you decide to launch your own adult site?
Answer: We started Homegrownvideo.com as a way to publish all the content that was archived by Homegrown Video since 1982, when the company was originally founded. It was our way to show all the pix and the UNCUT versions of the videos that had been submitted to us by people sending us their homemade sex movies from all over the world.

Question: Do you operate any other sites?
Answer: Just two sites: Homegrown Video and Homegrown Wives.

Question: You've been in the business for over 20 years. Could you share your insights regarding the niches that you cover?
Answer: We are entirely dedicated to preserving the integrity of REAL amateur content, but we have also launched a bunch of niche themed content based on what our fans love the most. For example, every Wednesday is "cream pie" Wednesday. We also have video series dedicated to hairy bush, deepthroat, horny over 40, barely legal lesbians, and more.

Question: In this industry members are generally considered as the lifeblood of the business. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: Our members realize that we are "real," and they know the difference between authentic amateur and the so-called amateur being pushed by most other sites. Our fans are the kind of discerning audience that loves to give us feedback. In return, we love to cater to what they truly like.

Question: What do you dislike regarding the members?
Answer: There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about our members. We literally have fans that have been with us since 1982. That is dedication!

Question: The competition in online porn is growing tighter by the day. What makes your Homegrown Video different from your competition?
Answer: Homegrown Video is unique in several ways. We have exclusive content going all the way back to 1982. In fact, Homegrown Video is THE ORIGINAL company to distribute authentic home sex videos and today has the largest library of amateur porn on the planet. We update daily with vids and pix. The fan following for our content is very dedicated, and we enjoy an active community that participates in our site through reviews and message boards.

Question: Let's change the gears a bit and talk about what goes on behind the scenes of Homegrown Video. How do you choose the themes?
Answer: Our members tell us what they want to see, and we try our best to accommodate them as long as it is legal.

Question: What about the story lines? Who comes up with them?
Answer: We don't typically have story lines. Our content is primarily amateurs having fun sex with an occasional interview.

Question: Content updates are really important in this business. Just how often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: We get new content delivered every day of the week from people all over the world. We try hard to use as much as possible.

Question: Have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: We work a huge variety of people that submit videos to us.

Question: What about the models? How do you choose them?
Answer: We choose content based on enthusiasm of the performers. We would rather have an average looking couple having a lot of fun than a super beautiful couple who looks bored. Our fans know the difference between the real and the fake.

Question: What more can we expect from Homegrown Video?
Answer: Homegrown Video will continue to expand and develop its community. We are going to increase the frequency of our updates, add a member to member cam system that will allow our members to have private cam sex in addition to our existing cam system, and launch a mobile version of Homegrown Video.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: Katja Kassin

In this week's free porn scene from Video Box, we explore the German vixen Katja Kassin who is a legendary porn chick with a big ass and sexy curves.

She stars in no less than 165 scenes on Video Box. Most of these feature hardcore anal sex. That is also the case for this scene from Destination Dirtpipe vol 1. In addition to anal sex, it also features anal play with whipped cream.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: POV fucking

In porn there's a few different shooting styles. For example one is known as POV (point of view) ie. lets the viewer feel like he is the part of the movie and that the girl(s) perform their sexual acts on you.

This technique can work very well if done correctly and it can work pretty bad if not. And some guys are actually pretty great at doing this kind of porn. One POV series I like is Fucking Me POV.

On Video Box there is 226 DVDs with 1676 scenes with a POV theme.

Today's scene is from Fucking Me POV #3 and features Carmen McCarthy.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: Japanese porn

I think we have all heard things about Japanese porn. Some say that Japan is home of the most twisted and strange porn and ironically many Japanese porn movies are censored with mosaic patterns covering the genitals.

Video Box has a whole lot of Japanese porn on the site. In fact there is 125 complete DVDs with 748 scenes on the site.

I have found a good illustration of what typical Japanese porn is about. They seem to have a fetish for nurses, cream pies and playing with girls' pubic hair. At least all those elements are part of this scene.

The scene is from Pure Idol #8 and stars Rena Morikawa, a sexy chick with a hairy pussy and is up for anal and other things. She has 3 scenes on Videobox.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: Lisa Ann

For this week's hot clip from Video Box, I have found a true MILF porn icon for us all to enjoy. Lisa Ann is one of the most popular MILFs in porn because of her incredible looks and stellar performance in all her scenes. And she has that elegant mature look to her that we all love. Her bubble butt and huge boobs probably hasn't hurt her either.

So this scene with Lisa Ann is from Momma Knows Best and she gets a decent fucking from Mr Pete.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: Sara Jay

In this week's hot VideoBox episode it's all about the ass, baby! Big asses to be specific. The badonkadonk. It stars black porn star Pinky and "white woman in a black woman's body" Sara Jay. Both girls have bubble butts that will impress most ass fans.

In this scene they play around with each other and a huge strap-on dildo. And show why they both have a reputation for being capable of handling even the largest black cock.

The scene is from Nuttin' Butt Pinky which is one of the 7,498 DVD's available for VideoBox members.

For even more Sara Jay check out the official Sara Jay site.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: Behind The Scenes

One cool thing I've noticed about VideoBox is that where most DVD archive sites "only" provide the actual sex scenes from a movie, Video Box also includes the extra scenes which are typically some behind the scenes footage from the shooting of the movie.

The Behind the scenes footage often gives a chance to see how a porn movie set works and how the porn stars are when they are not having sex. So for those of us who want to see a bit more personal side of porn stars, this is a great opportunity.

This scene is from the movie with the ubiquitous name 'Celebrity Pornhab With Dr.Screw' that stars such names as Penny Flame, Aiden Starr, Claire Dames and several others.

Hot Video Box scene of the week: Flower Tucci

Again I've done the tough job of digging through a bunch of VideoBox' 41,417 porn scenes to find a great one to showcase exactly what kind of content we find inside Video Box.

This week it's another personal favorite of mine; Flower Tucci who takes a huge black cock up her asshole and squirts several times throughout the scene taken from Black Assassins.

And if you can't get enough of Flower Tucci, check out her own site with Reality Kings.

Enjoy...

Hot scene of the week: Gianna Michaels

The by far most popular site we have reviewed is VideoBox - and it's no wonder since it delivers an awesome product at an attractive price. You can't beat 7,300 complete dvds available for download at one place.

Lots of people have asked to see some examples of what VideoBox content looks like. So we've decided to post a weekly scene to demonstrate just a few of the 41,000 scenes they have online.

To start out, we have one of the most popular pornstars ever, Gianna Michaels. The scene is from the movie Bust Out and is scene #9 on that DVD. Besides Gianna and her legendary boobs, it also stars Olivia O'Lovely, Trina Michaels, Mikayla, Sara Stone and a few more.

New porn reviews this week

Here's a fresh summary of the latest porn reviews added to Adult Reviews.

Monday September 7th 2009 - Temptress Lilith
Screenshot from Temptress Lilith
Lilith is a BBW - a she truly lives up to the BIG part I must say.

On her site Temptress Lilith she delivers the goods to her fans. She updates her blog regularly with news about her life, she adds new videos and new photos on a regular basis too. In fact she does all the things that personal amateur sites should do.

The only thing she misses is a bit higher video quality - up until about a year ago, videos came in 320x240px versions only. The later videos look far better at 640x480 though, so it's only the older ones that don't really deliver.

Videos are divided into categories like ass worship, oral and belly worship. Pictures however are divided into galleries sorted by date.

Overall the site is pretty good and if you like Lilith, you will also like her site.

Tuesday September 8th 2009 - Lesbian Fanatics
Screenshot from Lesbian Fanatics
I have previously expressed my love for girls experimenting with their assholes. So Lesbian Fanatics is right up my alley.

The site is yet another site from the Evil Angel Network and features scenes from the company's movie titles. All scenes seem to either be starring or be directed by Belladonna who is known and loved for her rough and extreme anal sex scenes.

In each scene she has one or more pornstars join her for some rough and intense anal sex which often includes use of large dildos. There's plenty of ass licking going on too.

As with all the other Evil Angel sites, it has an extensive search feature and the movies come in several formats and resolutions from Flash to WMV. I only wish there would have been a direct link to download them instead of having to open the page where it streams on as well to find the link.

Overall though, a great collection of intense lesbian ass play.

Wednesday September 9th 2009 - Fuck Team Five
Screenshot from Fuck Team Five
It must be every guy's dream scenario to see 3 hot porn stars approaching you asking if they could please suck your dick. "Hmm let me think about that. Yes I guess that would be alright".

It's no wonder that some of the guys on Fuck Team Five look more than surprised when something like that happens in the scenes featured on the site.

The premise here is that a group of 3 pornstars go for a stroll somewhere where they are bound to see a lot of guys. Some of them react to the sight of the three porn chicks and a little bit of talking goes on. Maybe the guy gets to feel their boobs or something like that.

At some point they meet one or more guys that they think deserve a chance to fuck a real pornstar. So they spoil this Average Joe by throwing their tits at him, blowing him and taking turns fucking him.

So to put it short, Fuck Team Five takes the fantasy of every straight man and makes it become reality for a lucky few. The rest of us get to watch it all.

The site itself has 66 episodes so far with a new one added weekly. It is part of Bang Bros network so there's plenty of other sites to see if you got the time.

Thursday September 10th 2009 - Penny Flame Fucked
Screenshot from Penny Flame Fucked
Alrighty, no two ways about it. This site has to be one of the worst I have ever seen.

Penny Flame is a hot subject though. She's quite a popular and sexy pornstar, but the site Penny Flame Fucked just doesn't deliver anything worth writing home about.

Thank goodness that it isn't her official site, since that would have been a huge waste.

There was about 8 photo sets in mediocre quality and 6 video scenes of Penny on the site, and none of the videos would play in the Flash player which was the only viewing option.

So instead of wasting more time talking about that site, I recommend that you go to Penny Flame on VideoBox which currently holds 67 scenes starring Penny Flame that are guaranteed to work properly.

Friday September 11th 2009 - Movie Box
Screenshot from Movie Box
For a long time there has been only two really great DVD Archives that all newcomers would have to measure themselves against. Those are Video Box and VideosZ.

So I guess that the guys behind the new and upcoming competitor Movie Box figured that they might as well go big or go home. So they went big.

They already have an impressive amount of 4,500+ DVD titles at this time and with 10 new DVDs added daily, they will catch up soon. Those 4,500 DVDs means 25,000 scenes.

Movie Box has a slightly more complex membership structure than the two others. VideosZ is straight out of the box with a monthly membership at $29.95, and Video Box is $23.96 for a monthly recurring membership, but with add-on options of premium studios at additional $9.95 per month. Movie Box combines those options with VOD principles.

The thing is that about 85% of the DVDs on Movie Box are included in your regular $29.95 membership. A number of 'Premium titles' are available to purchase on individual basis though. In fact you can even purchase individual scenes from those titles. A full DVD costs anywhere from $4.95 to $19.95 and scenes are $1.99 to $2.99 a piece. So you can select to buy only those you want. However the main downside is that while regular scenes can be downloaded in multiple formats, the premium titles can only be streamed through Flash.

Navigation and everything else works flawlessly on the site, so clearly they have done their homework.

So depending on your preferences, Movie Box could be the best option for you, but make sure to read about the benefits and disadvantages for all three sites.

Have a great weekend!
