JoyBear

Joy Bear’s got a little blurb out on their tour page where they say, “Our goal is to change the perception of the adult entertainment business.” It's an awfully lofty goal for a website designed to shake your dick at, but their big stack of awards and nominations suggests that maybe they ain’t bullshitting. They’ve earned nods from AVN, XBIZ Europa, InStyle, Dusk Porna Awards, Toronto International Porn Festival, and Good For Her Feminist Porn Awards, which is respectable as all hell. At the end of the day, though, it ain’t awards that make my dick hard; it’s porno.

So what’s the gimmick? Joybear.com is a paysite offering sex-positive erotic films, which they’ve been banging out since 2003. That’s a ripe old age in internet years, but they’re way more popular than your grandpa, pulling an easy 75,000 visits every month. Swap your usual forty ouncer of malt liquor for some Dom Perignon and your truck-stop boner pills for the real blue diamonds that say Pfizer. It’s time to bring some fucking class to your masturbation routine.

Some of the refined classiness comes from the overall presentation, which feels more like walking into a high-end, velvet-lined massage parlor than the sticky-floored strip club on the shitty side of town. Another element is the photography: it’s well framed, well lit, gorgeous and professional, with more of an emphasis on couples enjoying themselves than holes being stretched out and bodily fluids squirting all over the place.

I didn’t recognize anybody out front, but goddamn, these women are gorgeous. They shoot with sexy amateur models, couples and pornstars. I’m a professional masturbator, famous porn reviewer and newly minted video stud, but most of the models on the Models page were fresh faces to me. They did do a movie with Mischa Cross, though. In case you missed it, Mischa recently stopped by my place to check out my garden and then get a bit more intimate on the PornDudeCasting couch.

I took a look at Joybear.com’s About page, where they spell out how and why the company was started. Basically, the dude who started it was tired of seeing women phoning in their pleasure in the popular porno of the day. “A series of focus groups with women and couples confirmed he wasn’t alone so he applied to take part in Playboy’s prestigious competition ‘Head to Head’ - a one-off reality TV show created to find the next biggest erotic filmmaker. He won the show and promptly set up Joybear Pictures. His goal was simple. Make adult films fun.”

Their stated goals are all about ethically producing sex-positive fuck flicks. If you’re worried about how the talent gets treated in other areas of the industry, this might be right up your alley. To be honest, all porn producers absolutely should adhere to the same three promises Joybear is making: performers will be treated professionally, protected and safe, and promptly paid. Is that so hard?

By the numbers, it’s certainly a fair price. They’re dropping a new scene every week, which is my gold standard by which I judge every paysite. It’s also the same release rate I’m offering over at PornDudeCasting. Since Joybear.com has been around much longer than I have, they’ve got the advantage as far as sheer collection size is concerned. To date, they’ve got nearly 300 videos in the library.

They don’t have a big, sprawling menu of tags or categories like you’ll find on other sites. Instead, they offer a dozen broad subgenres of erotica, including Romance, Women in Control, Lesbian, Voyeur and Masturbation. The thumbnail for the Threesome aisle has me hard as a rock, and I know the kinksters are really going to appreciate the inclusion on Bondage on the menu.

While I couldn’t find any tags listed anywhere, I suspect they’re using some invisible system of them because the search function quickly found flicks with Feet, Big Boobs, Blowjobs, Cowgirl and Anal. I’d love to see a fuller tags index with a list of everything, because it’d go a long way in helping perverts find exactly what they want to beat off to today. With nearly 300 movies in the library, there might be some good stuff lost in the shuffle, and the situation may get worse at the site continues to grow.

The 15-minute video is part of Joybear’s XConfessions series and opens with a little montage of similar content. The actual movie opens cinematically, with a little voiceover from the starlet, Maria, as the pool boy fishes leaves out of her chlorine water. The camerawork and editing is classy as fuck, feeling a little more like a fancy French movie with nudity than your average porn site.

The movies here tend to have romantic vibes, with slow buildups, and that’s how this one plays out. The dude oils up Maria’s sexy body and massages her, giving us plenty of eye candy along the way. Soon he starts touching her pussy with his fingers and then his tongue, with actual penetration starting about eight minutes into the scene.

When a site hypes itself as “erotica”, I often worry it’s going to be some really softcore arty farty shit. Joy Bear is arguably softer than some of the other premium joints out there, but at least we get to see the dicks going into the holes. They just might not capture it with the same in-your-snatch crotch shots as the more hardcore sites. At the end, he does hose down Maria’s beautiful ass with a whole lot of sperm, so it’s not like Joybear’s shying away from the sex juices.

Beneath the video player, I found a Download button. Members can save their favorite movies in a range of resolutions, from mobile to Full HD. They’re a little bit behind the times, with 1080p as the highest quality, but hopefully they’ll upgrade to 4K in the near future. More and more, it’s what modern masturbators expect.

One of Joybear’s most noteworthy features is how they defy expectations. Even if they hadn’t put out a mission statement about sex positivity and ethically produced porno, the vibes are impossible to miss. So many paysites blend into each other even when they’re produced by different companies, but Joy Bear Pictures really does stand apart with their romantically tinged erotica. I somehow feel like a really high-class motherfucker even while I’m beating off to the stuff.

I wouldn’t recommend Joybear to just any ol’ pervert, looking for the hardest of hardcore porn. I would recommend it to women or anybody else who appreciates romantic vibes, long buildups and a veneer of respectability you ain’t going to find on any random bukkake collection. They should really add some video previews to help you make your decision, but it’s safe to say that if you like how the tour page feels, you’re going to like the member’s area, too.
