The Life Erotic review

Mr. Pink’s review of The Life Erotic
Review Date - 06/18/2011

Overview:
Living vicariously through various online communities is nothing new. You had a killer ICQ contact list back in the day and your LinkedIn profile has you connected to a professional network far greater than your IRL (that’s In Real Life) co-workers represent. Shit, you’ve even “fucked” a few incredibly gorgeous women on those free porno-tube sites - as gorgeous as they can be in videos of such shitty resolution and horrible compression, that is - and never even risked contracting the clap. There’s a lot to be said for living online and The Life Erotic has much to offer in this regard. With some of the most dazzlingly high-quality erotic imagery you’re likely to have seen either in person or online, The Life Erotic makes no bones about attempting to fulfill your every erotic need. Vowing to deliver “explicit and edgy erotica that goes beyond beauty,” starring a host of the most gorgeous European and American models “pushing the boundaries of erotic art,” The Life Erotic is a class act through and through; well, it at least appears that way from the beautifully designed tour pages. Hosting erotic photographer Walter Bosque’s work at staggeringly high image resolutions and even in 1080p High Definition video formats, this is a site you won’t soon forget - the dripping open vulvas, handcuffed sub women, and leggy blonde Amazonian princesses will see to that! With a discounted monthly price tag of $17.97, The Life Erotic might be inexpensive, but it sure isn’t cheaply produced mainstream drivel and it could be just what you need to elevate your online beat-off sessions into an erotic experience beyond compare.

Pros:
The Life Erotic only hosts exclusive original content that can’t and won’t be found anywhere else online, and with regular updates arriving multiple times a week, there’s quite a lot of fresh erotica to see here.

Video content might not be The Life Erotic’s main focus - that’d be the high-resolution photo galleries - but they’re still delivered at fantastic 1080p HD resolutions in both WMV and MOV formats. These videos look fantastic in their HD frames and present some very evocative erotic scenes that often, but not always, end up as masturbation scenes.

Photo content being, as said, The Life Erotic’s main focus, is presented with three size options, all of them accessible with your browser or by downloadable zip archives. Resolutions reach 1000, 2000, and 3000 pixels and present a great deal of detail in each shot, accentuating the fantastic, dreamy photography.

Those of you who are tired of seeing the same old softcore glamour photography that most erotica sites provide will be thrilled to find The Life Erotic and its unique blend of softcore, masturbation, fetish, and extremely intimate close-up styles showing off the varied and dynamic sexuality of its models.

Cons:
Navigation issues have always brought The Life Erotic down a notch or two on Mr. Pink’s rankings and things haven’t changed in that department. The more content that is hosted here, the greater the need for a comprehensive tagging and searching system.

The model index may provide you with a chance to get an overview of the different kinds of women featured in The Life Erotic’s scenes and galleries, but there’s very little information about these women available to every curious member of the site. Wanna know what Shay Laren thinks of Bosque’s shooting style? No such luck.

Although it has only been online for less than two years, The Life Erotic’s older content is already seeming quite dated. Back in the depths of the archive, photo resolutions drop to just 1024px and can’t match the impressive quality of the latest galleries.

Even though numbers have clearly improved since last time Mr. Pink’s stopped by, there’s still room for some growth here at The Life Erotic. With less than 100 videos in the archives, movie buffs may find the site somewhat lacking.

Conclusion:
With such a low monthly discounted price point (just $17.95 at Mr. Pink's), a membership to The Life Erotic is well within reach of most Mr. Pink’s readers and, unless you require a constant stream of DVPs, DAPs, ATMs, and blowbangs, you should find the content hosted here most satisfactory. Most everything is presented in high resolutions that look great and get the highly erotic atmosphere the photographers are so adept at portraying across with little issue. Still, a few niggling issues remain: older content is of a significantly lower quality, the model index provides little to no information on these wonderful performers, and the navigation system is underdeveloped and needs improvement. These relatively minor issues aside, though, The Life Erotic remains a thoroughly enjoyable and arousing romp through the gloriously amatory imagination of Bosque and The Life Erotic’s fantastically sexy models.
