Overview:
And so it came to be in the year 2013 that a virtual reality that made it not only possible but easy and affordable for the sexually frustrated and erotically unfulfilled to radically change the quality and the very nature of their sex lives. Instead of being stuck in the drudgery of a job you loathe, in a family that loathes (or at least aggressively resents) you, and a financial strata that'll forever keep all that juicy top-shelf pussy anywhere but in your lap, it became possible for men to have the sex lives they've always dreamed about, and it was all done with computers. Life Selector was the first truly interactive (yet pre-recorded) porn site to make waves, but it followed in the tradition of "Interactive" DVD releases that gave viewers the chance to "fuck" Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey, and Jenna Haze, among others, but spruced up that clunky old method by thrusting everything into cyberspace, where customization truly is just a gesture away. Life Selector offers you a way out, friend, but are you willing to take it?

Pros:
At Life Selector, which remains free to join and browse, you only pay for what you view. Well, since this is a site boasting interactivity, I suppose you pay for what you do. Choose from 124 exclusive, original shows, each one playing like a Choose Your Own Adventure book and ranging in theme from pretty basic fantasy roleplays to elaborate ten-girl training sessions and their resulting orgies. Ob average, shows cost 90 to 120 credits, with each credit starting at 10c each and only getting cheaper the more you buy.

Life Selector has hired plenty of porn's most thrilling performers to engage (kinda sorta directly, but not really) you and indulge your wildest fantasies. Roleplaying scenarios see you take the guise of a rock star, a business exec, an airline pilot, a photographer, even a gardener, and use your newfound persona to charm the pants off the likes of Sophie Moone, Angel Rivas, Jessica Bangkok, Lexi Belle, Dylan Rider, Puma Swede, and Asa Akira, each woman dressed up and playing a new role each time, from a flight attendant to a dental assistant, a damsel in distress to a cop.

Presenting all its content in High Definition video streams peaking at 1426x800px, Life Selector gives you powerful visuals upon which to base your decisions. Videos, often shot in a POV style, thrust you into the scene and make your next steps of vital importance not only to your enjoyment, but your virtual lover's too. Clicking through the choices - "fuck her face" or "spank her ass" or "cum on her tits" - as they arrive onscreen.

Life Selector isn't the kind of site to simply dump a collection of smut at your fingertips then retire to its favorite watering hole for a few cold ones. Instead, all Life Selector members are treated to fantastic user-end features that ensure maximum satisfaction: resumable viewing, free episode trailers, free complete episodes, and even mini-loop episodes that cost a meagre 3 to 6 credits.

Cons:
Although the presence of many USA-based pornstars makes Life Selector familiar territory for most folks, these women are outnumbered by their European counterparts, who don't just give Life Selector a more international feel, but threaten to turn it into "Fuck a Euro-Babe Your Way". For whatever reason, it seems the US hasn't truly embraced Life Selector yet, and it's a damn shame.

Mountain biking, driving fast cars, flying jumbo jets… these things (all of which can be seen in Life Selector episodes) might interest extreme sports fans, but even a novel concept like seeing what the driver of a speedy Italian sports car sees as he tears around a track wear off pretty quickly when you've got a raging boner.

The editing between each part of a larger episode, directly after a choice is made by you, can be a little bit jerky and abrupt, disrupting the flow of the scene and its virtual reality. This isn't a major problem, of course, but it's another area needing attention if Life Selector aims to fulfill its potential.

For all its bells and whistles and promises of an incredible virtual sex life, Life Selector is bound to be seen as too needlessly complex and convoluted for most would-be members. After all, most guys only need to see five minutes of Gianna Michaels fondling her own breasts to achieve erotic elation; why do we need all of this?

Many episodes have clearly been shot on a European set with European performers only to have the male protagonist's voice dubbed in American English. This creates a dissonance between the featured female performer and you (via the voiceover) that gives everything a very artificial and forced feel.

Conclusion:
Life Selector may not fundamentally change the way you enjoy porn, but it does make it a more immersive experience. With High Definition videos delivering ample detail and strong, smooth images throughout each scene and episode, and with the course of action decided by you according to your tastes and your desires, there's ample opportunity for you to find hardcore scenes and situations that are exactly what you've been desiring for so long. Episodes are affordable - they cost about 90 credits for the full experience; credits cost 10c but are cheaper when bought in bulk - and there's more than 100 already online here, with each episode holding between 2 and 7 individual but connected scenes. It's clear Life Selector has itself a strong platform from which to attempt global masturbatory domination. And, from my position here recovering after coaxing Puma Swede into ditching her yoga partner's snatch for my own erection, I'd say Life Selector has a damn good chance of ushering in a new era of pornographic bliss.
