Yes, Bright Desire has a blog now. It was meant to have a blog way back when the site launched in 2012 but things just didn’t really happen and I never got around to it.
On top of that, social media has done such a great job of sucking our content and our traffic away from our own sites and onto the sites of a small handful of major companies. Now that Twitter is nearly dead, I figured it’s time to start posting things on my own site, even if it’s only something small.
I hope to write about sex and sexuality, feminism and porn on this blog as well as do some extra promotion for Bright Desire. I’m also launching a newsletter and the blog will be a part of that.
About Bright Desire
If you are new to Bright Desire, here’s the deal. Bright Desire is an ethical, inclusive porn site for women, men, for everyone. It is “smart porn” – adult content that respects both the performers and the audience. We know that sex is something to be celebrated. We don’t want to treat it like a sniggering, sexist teenager. Our porn is about intimacy, connection, laughter and having fun. It’s an expression of joy and humanity.
Bright Desire explores many aspects of sex and sexuality in its films. A few examples: Linger makes consent explicit while also drawing things out, the better to enjoy slow sex. Dear Jiz looks at how watching a genderqueer porn star can make a difference to people’s identities, self esteem and sex lives. Scarlet Woman shows us that older women can be beautiful and sexual. Devourable delves into the lives of two queer, polyamorous lovers who also love Rocky Horror. Self/ies explores how making porn can empower a person to love their body and themselves.
Bright Desire also features scenes where real-life couples have shared their sex lives on camera. These scenes are a wonderful portrait of the intimacy and connection that couples share in bed. Usually unscripted, these scenes feature lots of laughter, goofs, gorgeous tender moments and plenty of real orgasms.
At BD you’ll also find the “Voiceover Series” which features individual performers masturbating on camera, with an accompanying voiceover detailing their sexual fantasies. These scenes let us peek into the imagination of the performers and their narrative adds a sensual richness to their erotic imagery.
You’ll also find some great queer porn at Bright Desire. Many performers identify as queer and BD has always been keen to capture sexual joy, no matter who is appearing in front of the camera. We’re keen to embrace the myriad ways that sexuality and gender present themselves and to show that how much fun sex can be, beyond rigid societal boundaries.
Since the Pandemic Bright Desire has also presented the work of guest directors: filmmakers whose vision aligns with our own. We regularly feature hot scenes and short films by celebrated ethical porn creators from around the world. These videos have often screened at film festivals and been acclaimed as quality works of erotic filmmaking.
A relatively recent addition to Bright Desire is the audio erotica section. BD has had written erotic fiction since its launch and you’ll find hundreds of quality stories in the member’s section. Now there’s also spoken-word erotic stories available, all human-created. Audio is great if you want to free your imagination from the visual and fill in any details yourself.
And of course Bright Desire has a bunch of other content – dirty porn videos and photos including some classic retro content, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, documentaries, columns, reviews and more.
If you haven’t had a look at all the preview videos and other content on the tour, please check it out. Bright Desire is an independent, small porn site that values its members! If you want to join, we’ll be very pleased to have you!
