I don’t know whether this belongs in “Off Topic” or not. If it should live elsewhere, I’m sure Brenna will move it.
I don’t often talk about my porn usage and preferences. I guess because it’s such a personal thing. Anyhow, I figured I’d risk it for once.
I prefer home-made/amateur content. Anything that smacks of “faking it for the camera” or in which the camera is clearly being operated by an invisible 3rd party is a total turn-off for me.
For quite a long time I’ve been a fan of a real-life same-sex couple from the UK who had a channel on Pornhub. They’re called Rosie and Alena. They have a 24/7 BDSM relationship which majors on edging and sensation play.
Although of course they are aware of their audience and earn money from their ‘brand’, content-wise essentially all they do is to point a mobile phone at their actual domestic sex life and kink play, and it’s wonderfully erotic stuff because in every vid it’s blatantly obvious that everything they do, even the pain play, is totally consensual and an expression of their love for each other. As if that weren’t enough, the sensual icing on the cake is that Rosie (the dominant) has a voice that makes me a bit weak at the knees! Their channel has dozens of videos, including Q+A sessions with their fans and “how to” guides on basic BDSM practice.
…or, rather, it did. I went to visit their channel earlier this week and, with no warning or announcement from them, it has disappeared completely.
This might seem a stupid thing to say, but I am hugely saddened by this: I feel like I’ve lost two friends who I really admired. I guess it’s possible that they’ve moved over to a more lucrative paid-only platform - I dunno - but web searches are revealing nothing. Right now I’ve no idea where they’ve disappeared to. Most of all, I hope that nothing bad has happened to them - that they haven’t been ‘outed’ (they were always super-careful to never show their faces) or subjected to blackmail or intimidation by anyone.
The only remaining evidence of their existence is an interview they did for modelhub. It’s worth reading, as it gives a flavour of how genuine they are:

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PORN LINK - JUST AN INTERVIEW - TEXT ONLY, WITH INNOCUOUS CONTENT.
So… goodbye, Rosie and Alena. Wherever you are, I hope you’re safe and happy.
