Adult Empire

Some people seem to think that porn is some recent innovation that was suddenly mass-marketed in the 20th century. However, while the massive creation of cum inducing content is relatively new, the creation of it is not.

In fact, there is erotic imagery in the ruins of Pompeii, sketchings showing royals copulating in ancient Egypt, and voluptuous mini-statue depictions of nude women going back tens of thousands of years.

Unfortunately, finding sexually gratifying content for sale quickly, discreetly, and at a fair price is something that has only just been mastered this century. It is websites like Adult Empire which have made this possible.

Providing Quality Products For Decades

Registered nearly at the beginning of Y2K, Adult Empire has seen several incarnations of the years but remained true to their original mandate – sell smut and sex stuff. And like all good online retailers – and all good websites really – this site has continued to add new and engaging, not to mention erotic content over the years. Keep on reading, and you will find out why this platform is in the top 20,000 ranking websites on the web.

There Are DVDs For Days

Obviously, ever since discs started overtaking tape at the start of the 21st century, Adult Empire has made the central part of its business model DVD sales. Of course, in keeping up with the times, they have a wide range of Blu-rays as well. But whatever your preferred hardcopy media, finding your perfect new porn flick is exceptionally easy.

Unlike some low-rent smut retailers, AE's homepage has a drop-down submenu dedicated just to DVDs from which you can select new releases, featured movies, used DVDs, and bestsellers. They also promote items on sale, provide the option to rent, and show off soon to arrive films – more on all of that later.

On their sales pages, you see a clear image of the disc cover, the current pricing, and occasionally a promotional sticker indicate whether or not an item is brand new or on sale. Click on a product you want, and it is just like shopping on Amazon. You can see the items categories, who stars in it, a small preview of one of the scenes, as well as options review, like, favorite, or add it to a wish list.

Checking out is a snap since you only need to add it to your cart, check out once you have got your payment information entered.

And Plenty Of On-demand Erotic Experiences

Many of the DVDs can be experienced as video-on-demand rentals. So, rather than buy the movie and wait for it to ship to your home, you can do digital rental or purchase. From what we have seen, most of the rental time periods are about two days of streaming, though, at only a few dollars, they tend to be reasonably priced. Streaming a film for life is going to cost more, but it is fast, secure, and safe. If you still are not sure that you want to commit fully to any film, you can pay by the minute to get your self a taste of what you might want to buy later. Furthermore, you can even buy individual scenes, too.

We mentioned earlier that Adult Empire has clearly invested in staying up-to-date with modern formats of fap material, and another good example of this can be seen in their virtual reality section. Found in the On-Demand submenu there are dozens of erotic experiences which, given the nature of VR, are quite creatively filmed and presented.

In addition to the typical bad girls and dominatrixes you would find in traditional movies, Adult Empire’s collection of VR experiences include video game parodies, erotic knockoffs of comic book heroines, and other neat but naughty porn pieces which have some kind of exotic kink to them.

The Sex Toy Selection Is Top-notch

Naturally, having a new kind of kinky porn is nice, but it always pairs really well with some fresh fap toys, too. Fortunately, the other thing that Adult Empire is known for is its adult toys. And yes, they provide a wide selection of gear for both men and women.

There are plenty of fleshjacks, lubricants, anal toys of all sorts, vibrating wands, other simulated body parts, and cock rings for sale. On a side note, we were very impressed diversity, engineering, and efficacy of their cock rings.

Moving on, besides the usual, AE has a full range of BDSM toys, which can be appealed to either sex and appeal to just about every vanilla or dark chocolate kink. Along with that, they have some other items which we often do not see on similar sex toy sites like Ben Wa and kegel balls, body positioners and restraint devices, and even an impressive collection of books.

Referring to that last category, they have famous erotic fiction like the Fifty Shades series as well as sex manuals and romance guides. There are even a couple of adult coloring books and nude collection codexes.

Like the DVD sales pages, you get photo previews of some of the content, a detailed product description, product information, though there is not an option to favorite, write a review, or leave any kind of feedback.

The Web Designers Were The Nice Kind Of Teases

Through the DVD section, you can not only get the titles, price, and acting information from adult movies, which are soon to come out – unlike a lot of porn sites, you get entire previews. Yes, the previews are not that long, but they do you give a pretty decent taste of what is to come.

(No pun intended.)

And in addition to a video preview, you are also treated to a modest image gallery as well. As you might expect, AE does allow their customers to pre-order new releases in disk or digital form.

They Even Have Exclusive Cam Channels

One trend which we have noticed has become practically mandatory on traditional porn platforms like studio sites and especially tubes is hosting a special cam service. While retailers typically do not, Adult Empire actually does.

From what we can tell, these models are all exclusive to the site – or at the very least spend a lot of the time on Adult Empire live streams. All of the staples of a typical cam site are here like public streams and private, a decent web layout so you can find models by category, ranking, and newness. But where this part of the site stands out is the diversity of models.

When reviewing other cam sites, we typically find that only a handful of models have a look or a gimmick or several different presentations and talents, which make them "pop" on camera. However, AE has clearly put a lot of effort into finding some of the most attractive women of all different backgrounds who do not look like the “typical” cammer. Most have some kind of special thing that they do exceptionally well like an obscure fetish, a lot of them have a variety of sensual outfits, and they all present high-libido sexuality very well.

Ads on this part of the site are kept to a minimum, and all seem to only promote Adult Empire Cams. In the event that you do not want to join the AE main site, you can get a separate membership with this subsite for free.

There Are Sales Going On All The Time

AE does sell high-end products which do tend to have a fairly high cost. However, they do have sales all throughout the year on virtually every item solicited. In addition to used DVDs, you can also find fresh fap movies at a discounted price. There are literally dozens of quality toys that have had their prices cut, and even VODs being sold for as much as a third less.

Of course, during certain holidays, AE tends to have more items being discounted, but throughout the year, they do have some exceptional incentives to spend. For example, all orders which exceed $75 come with a free gift. To give you another instance, joining AE as a member gets you 33% off on an ElegantAngel.com membership.

Membership Has Some Nice Rewards

You do not have to be a member of AE to buy anything. That said, there are a few reasons why you might want to pay to become one anyway. To start, you get access to literally tens of thousands of movies through their unlimited program – all of which are neatly organized on an AE sister site. If that is not enough porn for you, members also get complete access to the Pornstar Empire. This constantly updated website is a friend of AEs and features exclusive starlets and scenes not found anywhere else.

Just like you would expect of a high-quality website like this, sign up only requires the most minimal of information – i.e., email, password, zip code, and credit card information – and is completely secure. And membership pricing is particularly reasonable with all of the bonuses you are going to get.

To be specific, one month costs only $24.99, whereas paying for a ninety-day month package, you effectively get one month free since the total is $49.98. Of course, buying an annual membership is the best deal since, while you pay $149.94 all at once, this breaks down to $12.50 a month.

Even if you are skeptical about committing to this site, you can get a two-day trial for only a few dollars.

The Mobile Version Has Been Well Optimized

One of the most important standards we use to evaluate a website is by how good it looks on handheld devices. Unsurprisingly, Adult Empire on mobile has been designed very well. Despite the number of options and webpages it has, the homepage features a few of the most popular sections of the website.

If you are looking for something else, the drop-down menu at the top right-hand side, while packed with links, is spaced just right, so navigating around is easy. And yes, all of the same features and tools are present like they are on the desktop version.

The Best Parts Of Adult Empire

In addition to everything we have mentioned before, AE has some of the best designs we have ever seen. The off-white and light grey background enhance the more colorful DVD and sex toy promotional images. And the occasional red lettering gives the site a sort of added eroticism.

When it comes to organization and structure, the web designers did an excellent job condensing links to their various pages into submenus for easier navigation. Further, they added an entire link in the main menu for categories of all sorts of sexual fetishes, which are automatically filtered by DVD, VOD, Blu-ray, sex toy, and rental. Speaking of categories, on the movie product pages themselves, if you click on the names of the starlets, you are taken to another page, which lists the performer's other films.

If that was not enough, you can organize those results in the form of a list or grid. Finally, AE’s search engine can be filtered the same way, though it also includes used items, and is just as responsive as Google.

The Worst Parts Of Adult Empire

Overall, there is not too much to say we did not like about this site. We have found that there can be issues when it comes to video previews playing since they buffer a bit long. However, this can usually be fixed by refreshing the page.

That said, the biggest problem we think most customers might have is the cost of products and services. Since these are some of these best toys and movies from giants in the industry, they ask a higher price for their goods. So, do not expect to get things with an Alibaba budget.

How Could This Site Be Improved?

When we came to this question, we first considered that there might not be any. Yes, we do think that there are some things that can be fixed, but they are so minor they almost do not even matter. Or at least that is with one exception.

We found it very odd, bordering on suspicious, that movies no matter their format could be reviewed and even stored to a subscriber profile, but sex toys could not. We are not necessarily suggesting that AE is trying to hide consumer feedback. After all, we can verify that most of the products they sell come from trustworthy and noteworthy brands.

However, we do think that it might make other customers suspicious like it did us. So, if we were to pick one thing, we would certainly add a comments section and a star rating system for toys, if not the option to favorite and like them.

Should This Be Your Next One-stop Erotic Shop?

In a word, yes. To explain why in detail, scroll up and read our full review if you are TL;DRing this article. Not only do we think that this is the go-to site to shop on, but it may also be the only source you need to see fresh fap material. After all, as a member, you get access to terabytes worth of erotic content at a very reasonable cost.

Even with its minor flaws like item pricing, we ultimately think that if someone provides a high-quality product, one can afford to spend a bit more. For these reasons, we give Adult Empire five out of five hands and certainly recommend you browse through their vast collections of carnal products.
