Beautiful Agony Review

Could a film of a real, unscripted orgasm, showing only the face, be more erotic than explicit porn? That was the experiment behind Beautiful Agony. After thousands of videos, the answer is a clear yes. There's no nudity below the neck here, and it's one of the most intimate things I have ever watched.

I put my headphones on late one quiet night, and the breathing alone was enough to make me blush. The videos are sent in by real people of every gender, women, men and trans and nonbinary contributors. Some add a confession, a short story in their own words, which makes each face feel like someone you've just met. A new one arrives almost every day.

There's also the Great Restoration Project, which brings the earliest submissions back in HD from the original master tapes, longer and with remastered sound. You can watch a free show reel before you join, and I suspect one minute will be enough to convince you.
