LustCinema Review
LustCinema is a premium adult content site specializing in ethical and feminist porn. Now, don't let that deter you: LustCinema's founder, award-winning porn producer Erika Lust, explains that the site's movies steer clear of gender stereotypes, and aim to provide carnal pleasure to all sexualities.
LustCinema's erotic content is intelligently and insightfully produced, focused on beautifully crafted, cinematic sex films with high-quality presentation. The movies follow immersive and believable narratives that are LGBTQ+ inclusive, devoid of the usual typecasting, and with universal appeal.

Quality of Porn
The word 'feminism' can stir up the wrong impressions, especially when we're talking about porn, which historically has been the antithesis of femininity. It's important to reiterate that feminist porn isn’t about emasculation; it's about creating porn that is inclusive and free of any sexophobic, racist, or degrading content.
Erika Lust has her own ideas about what makes great erotica and it's not inflatable fake tits and bimbos. That's not to say the women aren't magnificent and the men aren't hunky: What's key to LustCinema's productions is that the sex is real, more intimate, and more intense.
There are over 250 films in LustCinema's collection. Each movie comprises several chapters that run between 20 to 30 minutes each, and every film has its own theme or fantasy.
For example, Ultimate Kink transforms the fantasies of everyday people into erotic realism. This movie follows two lesbian lovers who want to spice up their sex life by trying a 3-way with a man. My Moaning Neighbor is about a man who can't stand the loud sex coming from his upstairs neighbors, but when tries to out-noise them, he gets an explicit visit.
Of course, Erika has drawn on her many porn connections to star some big names in her LustCinema films, including a very hot lesbo scene with Ava Dalush. For the most part, however, Erika supports amateurs looking to make their big break.
The sex on LustCinema is mostly vanilla with the usual kinks thrown into the mix — threesomes, toys, anal, and bondage porn — all as passionate and real as it gets, which is what makes this site stand out.
LustCinema produces remarkable results. The playback quality is on the mark with full 1920x1080 HD streaming and downloads. But the film production is really what makes it magic. The lighting, direction, and pairing of the players culminates in wet, moan–filled satisfaction.
LustCinema lets you stream and download in several resolutions other than HD, in case you have lower capacity. Streaming is limited to MP4 files, which should be fine for just about everyone's internet speed, and the whole site is mobile optimized, of course, and even supports PlayStation.
Types of Porn
Among LustCinema's titles are several original and award-winning series including the immensely popular mature title, The Widow, and the terribly naughty BDSM series, Safe Word, starring Nina Hartley.
Porn genres covered on LustCinema include Group Sex, BDSM, Anal, Bisexual, Gay, Threesomes, Trans, and Taboo, like naughty nuns and step-family incest fantasies.
One of LustCinema's biggest calling cards is that no condoms are used.
Most scenes on the site are accompanied by an album of stills snapped during filming. There's also some shoots that include behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with performers.
LustCinema goes beyond just throwing a guy and a girl into a room to get it on because they have to. Some of the now many directors, like the site's namesake Erika Lust, bring their proudly feminine touch to the end result. Erika won numerous international awards for her first film, Five Hot Stories For Her, which, of course, you can still enjoy on LustCinema.
Then, there's Kristyan Geyr, filmmaker, photographer and designer, who directed the famous porno, Jailhouse Fuck Bed. To know more, be sure to check out the link to Creators (with the slightly creepy smiley icon) to access all the info you need on LustCinema's Directors and Performers.
The site divides things into two sections: Movies and Chapters. Movies boasts over 250 full-length productions and Chapters splits these films into their corresponding scenes. What this means for you, is that you can choose whether to watch the full movie, or skip to the best bits, depending on your mood.
Just be warned: LustCinema often publish scenes several weeks after the movie, I guess, to encourage members to watch the whole thing, first.
As I briefly touched on, LustCinema's stars each have a bio page on the site. Here, you can see what scenes aka chapters and movies each one has appeared in. Expect to, ahem, cum across famous faces like Sasha Grey, Lisa Ann, Riley Reid, India Summer, Asa Akira, Aleska Diamond, Paige Turnah, Harmony Rose, Daisy Marie, Gracie Glam, Lexington Steele, Derick Pierce, and Manuel Ferrara.
As is Erika's goal, you'll find a range of ethnicities, ages, body types, and sexual orientations. Then, there's the list of Directors, over 47 of them, like Ovidie, Bud Townsend, Candida Royalle, Eddie Powel, Madison Young, and Roy Stuart.
You can't not appreciate the artistic quality of LustCinema's films. And, given their class and originality, you'll be hooked.
Content & Update Frequency
LustCinema's performers are as diverse as they are attractive — over 365 of them — from 60–plus to barely 18, European, Latina, and American, and even some soon-to-retire legends. Most notably, LustCinema features work starring the 1980's porn queen, Nina Hartley. Now in her 60's, she's still as stunning and sexy as ever, proving that there's really no age limit to eroticism.
LustCinema adds a new film, around 3 to 5 chapters, every two weeks. All content is completely original and exclusive, and there's no download limit for members.
From the site's Movies section, you can sort by Release date, Most viewed, and Title. There's an additional 3 filters — Date (Anytime, This week, This month, and This year), Actor, and Tags.
Cleverly, you can select multiple filters from both Actors and Tags, so you can get as specific as you like with these. In order to apply and save your chosen filters, make sure to use the Update button next to filters.
In the Movies section, these filters can get you upwards of 400 results. You'll find full length movies, some of them lasting over 2 hours, and short films that last about 10 minutes. The full length movies are divided into their various scenes that are listed in the Chapters section. Latest movies can be streamed and downloaded in 3 different MP4 file formats — SD High (720x406), HD (1280x720), and Full HD (1920x1080). Older movies are offered in in only one quality option — SD High (720x540).
There are over 263 Chapters aka scenes. These last between 20 and 30 minutes. In Chapters, you'll also find the Behind-The-Scenes clips that last anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes. Navigation throughout the site is pretty much the same, the only difference being that Chapters can be sorted by Date, Rating, and Number of views.
Movies each come with a synopsis of its content, players, and directors, and you can Like as many as you want. In addition, there's an attached section with tags, related scenes, and cast. You can build your own lists of Favorites and to Watch Later, and leave comments.
Safety/Discretion
LustCinema is entirely HTTPS secured across all its pages and payments are processed by verified third-party gateways.
There's no pre-checked sales boxes to watch out for, but you will be offered the option to signup for XConfessions, LustCinema's sister site, for an introductory offer of $5.95.
But, if you read the small print, this is in fact billed in one payment of $87.80, and then renews at that amount every 3 months.
Of course, whether or not to add this to your LustCinema membership is up to you. I didn't.
Odds & Ends
LustCinema has an active blog run by Erika and some her top performers, and includes posts about the site's newest additions. If you happen to like a specific port star, you can look them up in the Model Index and find all the scenes they feature in.
You can search LustCinema by model or category, and also filter by the Date a scene or movie was added to the site, or you can search by Popularity.
Erika Lust greets you in the members' area and gives you a warm virtual welcome. She shows you what's new and then sets you off to start exploring the large number of images from recent films and latest Titles.
Beneath some, if not all, of the scenes, you'll find collections of screenshots. Some scenes have only a few pics which serve more as a guide to what action you can expect, while other scenes have full, high-quality albums. You can check to see how many views and likes each scene or film has received and, likewise, can vote yourself. LustCinema's Index pages provide you with several different search functions and ways to display the content on the site's many pages.
There are a few other areas to the site worth mentioning, for example, the About page, where you can read up on LustCinema's history and directors, and get a feel for all the professionalism that goes on behind the cameras. The site's mix of international directors are accompanied by links to their details and background. LustCinema is a bit like taking a course into erotic film directory.
LustCinema also has links to News and Media so you can keep abreast of things, read interviews and updates, and the latest industry news. There's also a link to the Bonus Sites offered by LustCinema, for an additional cost, of course.
As for extras, when you first join LustCinema, there aren't any. But, if you hang around for more that 30 days, you'll be able to choose a bonus site to unlock for yourself from the Stiffia Network. Then, every 30 days thereafter, you can pick another site, until you've unlock them all. Bonus!
LustCinema's member area is smart, neatly designed, and pleasant to browse, with clear options for streaming and downloading, and navigation tools, like the model and chapter indexes, plus advanced filters to apply to your searches.
Conclusion
Don't let the site's emphasis on 'feminine porn' fool you: I continue to be impressed by LustCinema's brilliant screen direction, camerawork, storylines, and casts.
A solid range of genres, kinks, and real-life fantasies are covered over the more than 250 full length movies, and with a new feature film added every 2 weeks, you'll never run out.
Plenty of free previews give you a good taste of what's in store for members, which I'm sure you'll be, very soon.
