Enjora.com

Once logged in I found myself face-to-face with a page full of options; the left-hand side had all of the personalized stuff("My Account," "My Categories," "History," etc) while the right-hand side focused strictly on categories and channels. The former was compromised of 21 main categories or niches, each with anywhere from 5-30 sub-categories. This, as you can probably imagine, made finding content that suited my own specific tastes much easier. Most of the major niches and fetishes were covered, but the inclusion of less obvious but just as useful filters like "subculture"(goth, emo — hell, even car mechanic) and "size"(all the "fun" bits of the human anatomy) really put their content filtering on a whole 'nother level.

The "Channels" section was also quite helpful, allowing the user to browse by studio. There are currently 131 production houses to choose from, and a good percentage of them are major names in the industry. But they were smart enough to include some lesser known, almost "indie" studios, too, making for a delightfully well rounded "variety pack" of pornography. Also, if you find a studio that really tickles your fancy, you can subscribe to their channel. By doing so you're assured to stay abreast of their latest content, as it will automatically show up in your own personal feed the moment it's added to the site. Very cool.

As I already touched upon no more than a paragraph ago, there's a lot to choose from here. The site said of itself, "As Netflix is to movies or Spotify is to music, Enjora is to the adult movie space." Having browsed their archives for countless hours, I'd have to say that's a fairly accurate assessment. Upon my initial login I watched what one might describe as typical staples of the hardcore genre — casting couch scenes, faux "reality" movies, and higher-end old school productions, complete with impressive costumes and not so impressive dialogue. After doing a little digging, though, things started to get interesting. I found myself running into clips that were much more unique, much more bizarre. One minute I was watching awesome vintage porn — circa the mid '70s and early '80s — and the next I was watching leather-clad brutes with deranged eyes tormenting sexy, helpless young women who were confined in what can only be described as medieval torture devices. Needless to say, I came . . . a lot.

All scenes on the site can be streamed via an embedded player that is as unique as any I've ever seen. Well, the player itself wasn't all that unique, but a few of its options were, the most notable being the "Invideo Search." While it's not unusual for sites to tag all of their scenes with the various niches they feature, this site has taken it to another level, noting the exact second at which said kinks occur. Which means you'll no longer have to suffer through countless minutes — perhaps even hours — of footage waiting for that footjob or ass-to-mouth or whatever other sick, twisted act does it for you, to pop up.

As nice as all that is, though, I still can't help but wish for a little more speed. Many of the scenes I watched were delayed by buffering issues. Moving forward or backward always resulted in a noticeable pause, and directly downloading a scene took quite a while at the sluggish 300 kilobytes-per-second download speed. Perhaps I caught them during peak hours, but this subpar speed was fairly consistent throughout my 4 days of browsing the site.

On a related note, I can picture a lot of members being disappointed with the fact that there's no clear-cut way to download these scenes. So, if you're not a fan of streaming video, you'll want to look elsewhere. In their defense, though, they were fairly up-front about this what with the comparisons to Netflix and Spotify.

I think my biggest disappointment with the site was that a number of its scenes were mislabeled. Many of the videos marked 720p and 1080p HD sported much smaller resolutions. This is a big oversight, and a strange one, too, considering how meticulous they were with their niche tags. Either way, much of the content I watched featured rather average, SD play-back quality.

Also, while I was, admittedly, impressed with all of the user-friendly options of the main page, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of their layout. I've never been big on frames, and the way in which content loads in your stream(blocks of 40 videos will appear each time you scroll down) makes it damn-near impossible to get an accurate count.
