Sapphic Erotica

From Sapho to Sapphic Erotic

Sapho was an ancient Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. She is often heralded for being one of (if not the) first openly gay writers in literary history. But it isn’t merely the sensational and sexual wiles of Sapho that earned her a reputation among the literary giants of her time and region. She was also highly regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets ever to live – male or female, straight or, as Sapho was, bisexual.

Tragically, the majority of Sapho’s poetry has been lost to time and war. That which still exists today only does so in fragments and excerpts. Save for one complete poem: “The Ode to Aphrodite.” However, it is widely believed by those that study ancient literature that Sapho was one of the great prolific poets of her time. Some say she wrote over 10,000 lines in her lifetime.

She has not only had a great deal of influence on the literary community, though. She has also come to be immortalized as a symbol of romantic love between women. Probably due to the fact that she was one of the first extremely brave souls to indulge publicly her homoerotic desires, in the sense that she is said to have written extensively about them – beautifully constructed lyric poems to women which lushly dripped with virile romance and lust.

In fact, her historical importance to female homosexuals was so great that two English words pay homage to her. The first is “sapphic,” an ode to her namesake. And the second should be even more astounding … the word “lesbian,” itself, was created as a reference to Sapho’s homeland, the Isle of Lesbos.

This was not always the case, though, for Sapho to be heralded as a champion of female homosexuality. In fact, it was common in classical Athenian comedy for Sapho to be depicted as an overly promiscuous heterosexual woman. Whether or not this is out of ironic jest, scholars may never know. It wasn’t until the Hellenistic period that Sapho’s legend began more closely resembling that which it is today. And there have been many hurdles on the historic road for Sapho’s lesbianism since then.

There is one porn site, though, that exists as a tribute and an ode to Sapho’s truest sexual desires … and that is Sapphic Erotica. Not only does this premium and erotic lesbian porn site nod its head to her in their name, one could say that it does so in content as well. If Sapho wrote romantic lyric poetry to and about women for whom she had a wild and unbridled desire, Sapphic Erotica has found a way to create a visual representation of that in the form of pornography. Sapphic Erotica is Sapphic poetry in the visual form. It is beautiful, graceful, explicit, and artistic. The poetry of the flesh.

Real Desire, Real Female Pleasure

Sapphic Erotica, according to their About Us section of the site, “[…] started […] in 2003 and it quickly grew to become a legend. We're still going strong 12 years later, with new movies shot weekly. Today, we have well over 1500+ movies available in our archive.” They go on to describe their approach to lesbian pornography, which should give you a good sense of their aesthetic and mission …

They write, “Our approach to girl-girl erotica is simple: What we like to see are pretty girls kissing and actually making love to each other. We like to see them fingering and licking each other pussies more than using toys. Toys are also OK, strap-ons are even better if that’s not all they do. We especially like to see girls kissing, mouth-on-mouth, as lovers do. We love to throw in a bit of lesbian analingus [sic] or anal fingering to change things up. Enjoy!”

So, as you can see Sapphic Erotica is not going to be your everyday, run of the mill lesbian porn site. There are, it would appear, two types of lesbian porn sites on the web: those that cater primarily to an audience of men, and those that cater primarily to an audience of women. It seems clear as day that Sapphic Erotica strives to be the latter. Porn made by lesbians, for lesbians. Porn that focuses on lovemaking, rather than just showcasing female bodies being ravaged by enormous sex toys, gaped, and stretched. And that would be where the “Erotica” in Sapphic Erotica comes from.

Erotica Does Not Mean Softcore

That being said, Sapphic Erotica is not any less hardcore or xxx explicit by any means. Just because it focuses on beautiful girls loving and experiencing real pleasure with other beautiful girls does not mean that this site is to be categorized in the ‘softcore’ section. Sapphic Erotica’s content is still as sexually stimulating, uncensored, and graphic as any other traditional porn site on the web. It just manages to be so without also being fake, unrealistic, shocking, or based on false ideas of what men think lesbian sex is like. In other words, you probably won’t find any scissoring on this site.

One thing that really stands out about Sapphic Erotica is the quality of the videos. Both in terms of video quality and the quality of the pornographic action itself. Every one of their videos are shot and available in 4K (well, at least those that were shot after 4K was invented … obviously). The quality of the actual porn, too, is of the highest standard. As Pornsites.com mentioned earlier, these scenes are nothing short of art. Although the term “erotica” may sometimes get a bad rap, this is where Sapphic’s erotic nature really seems to shine through.

The lighting is often soft and gentle. As if the videos are all set in the warm and tender touch of morning sun. This gives their videos something of a dreamy feel to them, adding to the fantasy of the whole enterprise. Watching a Sapphic Erotica scene feels a little bit like slowly waking up with your partner on a Sunday morning and lazily easing into one another, forgetting that anything or anyone else exists for hours.

In addition to providing some of the best, most sincere, most artistic lesbian porn in the adult entertainment industry, Sapphic Erotica offers plenty of other fun features … Enjoy the Sapphic Erotica cam site to have some live fun with lesbians from all around the world. Take a trip to their webstore, where you can purchase toys and fun little items to spice up your own love life. Or take a trip to the Sapphic Erotica forum to discuss all aspects of the site with other likeminded and generally friendly members. Here, you can discuss your favorite models, scenes, or air constructive criticisms … and the moderators will make sure your voice is heard.

Most Models are Unknown

The only complaint one could have with this site is regarding the models. And even so it still feels like a bit of a stretch … the models are, without a doubt, all absolutely stunning. That is not the concern. The only potential issue one could take with Sapphic Erotica is the fact that there aren’t many super well-known porn stars here. So, if you already have a favorite girl, unfortunately, it is unlikely that she will make an appearance on Sapphic Erotica. This is both a blessing and a curse, though, if you think about it.

For one thing, you will have the opportunity to branch out a bit and find new girls, many of whom you are guaranteed to fall in love with. The other bright side to this goes back again to the authenticity of Sapphic Erotica. Since they have made it their mission to only film real sapphic lovemaking, sincere sexual satisfaction, true orgasms, and actual desire, it would follow that the women in their videos would actually truly be lesbians … or, at the very least, like Sapho herself, bisexual. Therefore, gay for pay is something they surely want to try and avoid if possible.

All in all, if you love deep and intimate lesbian desire being sincerely and authentically played out before your eyes, you need to take a trip to the blissful dream that is Sapphic Erotica. This is truly a site that you can get lost in for hours and have no idea where the time went. It has just about everything you could ask for from a premium lesbian porn site … elegant and refined site design, some of the most beautiful women you have ever seen, incredible and erotic hardcore lesbian porn, an active community of likeminded users, and a new video every 5 days. Step into real desire…
