Sell Your Sex Tape - Real reality porn

How the hell do you work this thing?!

How many times, exactly, have I complained about the lack of actual reality in reality porn? Ooh, I wouldn't dare guess, but I'm sure that it's in double figures. Well, here's a change - I've no complaints about the reality in Sell Your Sex Tape.

At long last, here is a site that actually has some grounding in reality. Combining reality television with porn to great effect, Sell Your Sex Tape does a rare thing for a porn site as well - it doesn't edit out the bits with no sex in them.

SHOCK! Who would have believed it?! Oh look, these people are talking and not having sex. But let's leave it in the final product! Hmm, that sex session didn't go quite as planned. Shall we edit it out? No, let's leave it in.

It's a startingly refreshing attitude on behalf of Sell Your Sex Tape. You almost can't believe what you're seeing. As refreshing as it is though, are they actually taking a huge risk with this site and will it sell to a consumer base force-fed on fake reality content?

After all, when you're used to a certain thing for so long, it's difficult to change your ways, isn't it? That's the issue that Sell Your Sex Tape will find, and indeed selling it beyond what could be considered a gimmick approach.

'Proper' reality has been done in porn before, of course. I Shot Myself and I Feel Myself are very much reality based, but cut straight to the sex. Sell Your Sex Tape is about sex lives as much as it is about actual sex. It was completely fascinating and they deserve loads of credit for it.
