Unique New Review Site, Which Exhibited at Erotica LA, Features ‘Porn Reviews by People Like You’

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. – AdultMaven.com is a unique new adult reviewer community whose thousands of citizen reviewers are real everyday people from all walks of life and all over the country.

It’s no surprise, then, that AdultMaven’s trademarked branding slogan is “Porn reviews by people like you.”

“Our reviewers are your next-door-neighbors,” said Mike Ramone, the former AVN Editor in Chief and current adult director who is lending a hand to AdultMaven. “They are real people – men of course, but many women as well – and real porn enthusiasts from all walks of life.”

“With millions of consumers fueled by the Internet, adult entertainment has become part of American mainstream culture and that is reflected in the everyday people from Main Street America who are our reviewers,” Ramone noted.

AdultMaven reviewers cut a wide swath across all social-economic demographic lines. They include college students, middle-aged professionals, mothers, fathers, artists and techno-geeks, all of them writers of varying stripes, including journalists, screenwriters, bloggers and book authors.

AdultMaven reviewer Adaora Allure is a 26-year-old Chicagoan with degrees in English Lit and Creative Writing.

“I'm taking my time pursuing and enjoying alternative interests before giving in to the inevitability of teaching impressionable co-eds about subaltern studies and the trangressive arts,” Adaora said. “Of course I enjoy reviewing movies of various genres for AdultMaven; they offer a wide variety of new releases from the best studios, featuring some of the hottest talent in the industry today. What's more, AdultMaven is cultivating a strong community of like-minded writers from all walks of life.”

  “Aside from our progressive society allowing porn to become a more visible and viable part of our mainstream, discerning Americans are freer to pursue their individual pleasures,” she continued. “Due to this newfound sense of owning up to our sexual selves, our fantasies have never been more accessible. AdultMaven gives writers like me a chance to be charitable, praising the stars and studios that fuel our fantasies while advising and sharing our findings with our pleasure-seeking readers. I absolutely love this transfer of pleasure!”

  Mid-Atlantic States-based AdultMaven reviewer Mark Cummings is a Subject Matter Expert for a major search engine advertising editorial department.

“I enjoy reviewing porn at AdultMaven because it a great way for the common guy (or gal) to have their voice heard about a subject they love, namely adult entertainment,” Mark, 44, a journalist for more than 20 years, said. “The freebies are great, too. Plus, the chance at having an artistic outlet, allowing one to express their feelings and views, through reviews, blogs, etc., is fantastic.”

Another AdultMaven reviewer, Soccer Mom, said, "Writing for AdultMaven allows me both a creative and sexual outlet, which is something no other website could offer,” said AdultMaven reviewer Soccer Mom. "As a mother of 2, I suddenly found myself in my sexual prime.  It quite surprised me, and I searched for a healthy outlet for my new sexual awakenings. AdultMaven is that outlet.”

“I couldn't very well write porn movie reviews for my local newspaper, could I?” the Illinois resident asked with a laugh.

  B-boy 24 is a Denver-based erotica writer pursuing a degree in sexology. The 21-year-old said reviewing for AdultMaven complements his studies and writing pursuits.

   “I love sex and looking at the human body,” B-boy, who is also an actor, director, hip hop and break dancer, noted. “I enjoy watching people have sex and reviewing for AdultMaven gives me new ideas for my erotica.”

  And B-boy 24 agreed that it’s probably no coincidence that AdultMaven continues to sign up scores of new reviewers from all walks of life as adult entertainment continues to become more and more mainstream.

  “I mean come on, (Digital Playground’s multiple award-winning smash hit) Pirates was edited into an R-rated version and sold at Blockbuster and is available thru Netflix,” he said. “Human sexuality is being taught in high schools and colleges. You can get degrees in sex studies. Porn is being showed and available to rent in college libraries. Adult entertainment is becoming much more acceptable and that is a good thing.”

  B-boy’s fellow AdultMaven reviewer Diamond Couture also hails from Denver.

  The 39-year-old former social worker and current writer of Romantica books said it is “spiritually freeing to watch porn and write about it for AdultMaven.”

   Before signing on with the site, she said, “It wasn’t like I was anti-porn. I just didn't go out of my way to watch it regularly. However, I kept an open mind as I familiarized myself with AdultMaven and read everything available about the company and its writers. 

  “After I did this, it was then that I realized my Romantica books weren't much different than porn. I had watched a porn movie here and there while writing my books to give me inspiration. I let go of my narrow view towards reviewing porn and jumped into this opportunity with much enthusiasm. I think that is what is happening in mainstream America. Slowly, one by one people are viewing porn as positive entertainment and realizing the purpose it serves in their life.”

To date, thousands of real everyday people from all walks of life have signed on to AdultMaven.com, making it a unique and fast growing online community whose members gather to connect, communicate, get to know each other and share their intimate thoughts on XXX-rated films and other adult subject matter.

  AdultMaven.com is the only adult review site to offer its hundreds of reviewers not only free online adult movie access and DVDs, but shared ad income.

Launched just a few months ago, AdultMaven.com features critiques of the latest adult releases by its vast number of citizen reviewers, who are rewarded with free adult discs and VOD minutes, cash bonuses, publicity and most of all, financial incentives, including lifelong passive income.

  And unlike other review programs, AdultMaven.com provides a medium for the distribution of quality content suitable for use on blogs, websites, ezines, and newsletters.

AdultMaven is partners with top VOD site, Yappo.com, where AdultMaven writers get free minutes to watch and review adult movies. All AdultMaven reviews are linked to those same titles on Yappo, where consumers who read the reviews can then watch those same movies. The reviews are also linked to the AdultMaven online store, run by Mallcom.com, where those same titles can be rented or purchased.

Through affiliate programs, the writer whose review resulted in a consumer watching that movie on Yappo, or buying or renting it in the AdultMaven store, receives a portion of the proceeds for life.

  “And AdultMaven is always looking to add reviewers to our site,” Ramone, the former AVN Editor in Chief and current adult director, said. “It’s easy and free to do. Just go to AdultMaven.com, sign up, submit a review and soon we’ll be sending you free DVDs to review and keep.”

  AdultMaven signed up a number of new reviewers at last weekend’s big Erotica LA adult entertainment consumer expo at the downtown Los Angeles Convention Center, where the site had an exhibitor’s booth and gave away Red Light District and Combat Zone DVDs to the new reviewers to critique.

  “We were very excited to exhibit at the premiere adult consumer show in the country,” Ramone said. “As always, it was a very fun show, packed with dozens of top porn stars, about 20 of whom – including Belladonna, Jessica Drake, Joanna Angel, Bobbi Starr, Nikita Denise and Brooke Haven – we videotaped promoting AdultMaven. Look for that fun, sexy footage to be posted on the site soon.”
