I still can't get over just how many reality sites seem to be around these days. I gotta wonder if the fad will ever die, or if people will keep just cranking them out. One thing's for sure, I think you have to get more creative with your ideas today to get people's attention than you did before. Today we're looking at Her First Lesbian Sex, which is barely in the reality genre, and more of a niche paysite in my opinion. About the only thing reality here is the fact that the chicks are more amateur than other sites, and the content is mainly video.
The design of the site is slick, thanks to the design team. The people behind this site are not as independent as some other sites, so you get more of a corporate feel here overall. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the site cost. At $40 a month, it has to blow me away for it to be anywhere near worth it, and that's pretty tough to do. Judging by the tour and a quick look around the member's area, Her First Lesbian Experience isn't much more than another site churned out by a corporate machine.
The network it's a part of is called Discount Reality Sites for some strange reason. I was expecting some $10 sites here or something similar, not a $40 gouging. Regardless, you do get access to nine other sites, which seem like similar concepts to other reality sites out there already.
When you login, the main page looks more like a TGP gallery to me than a member's homepage. There's tons of tiny text links and small thumbs linking to various places that make it difficult to figure out where to go first. A lot of these, though, end up being links to the other sites in the network, which I don't mind as much as outside links. Along the top, you can click to get access to their video and picture galleries, which is where I went first.
It was funny to me that they have separate links to the video and photo galleries, but they both end up at the same place. It was also kinda weird that the URL at the top changed to something about plugins. It looks to me like they may package their content up and sell it to other webmasters, meaning you could theoretically join a site that buys this package, and get all the same content there. Usually when people produce the content, they keep it to themselves for exclusivity reasons, so this is pretty weird to me.
The picture galleries are pretty standard stuff. The good news is that I don't think they're screen caps, and the galleries are usually pretty large. Each page has 20 thumbs on it, and the galleries are usually at least 10 pages long. The pictures themselves are 800x600, which I think is decent for this type of site. The photos are amateur/reality in nature, but are well-lit and look good.
The videos, unfortunately, play in your browser without any other download options. They do offer up a low-, high-, and best-quality setting each of Quicktime and Windows Media though for display options. The quality seems pretty good, although I missed being able to zoom in and stuff. They do offer a full screen mode, which looked slightly pixelated to me (but watchable for sure). The WMV was 320x240 at 500kbps, so quality all around was decent. At the bottom, they offered a link to a downloadable clip of the full movie, but it was just an upsell where you had to buy tokens for the pleasure.
Overall, you're just going to have a hard time selling me any site that costs $40 nowadays (especially when you call yourselves Discount Reality Sites!). The content quality is the one good thing they've got here, but unfortunately it looks like you can find it elsewhere as well if you look hard enough. The other sites they offer are a good bonus, but all the superfluous links on the splash page make you wonder if you're headed to another site of theirs, or a third party plugin that'll upsell you. If it were $20 a month, it'd be better all around, but what they offer at the price they offer it is just not enough for too much.

If you liked this site before, you should still like it today as much is the same as the last time we came. They have been faithfully updating so their collection is pretty large now. Unfortunately there is some bad news as well of course, which mostly come from their lack of changes. Videos are still playing in your browser only, and the quality could use a definite boost here now. It's also still a whopping $40 a month which is very expensive for any site, let alone one where you can't download their videos.
Score decreased from 75.6 to 73.5.

Well well, we're bigger than ever, and they put in a pretty nice upgrade to the videos. They're at almost 170 scenes now which is pretty decent for the original content here. Even better news is that the newer videos are coming in at the 1000x600 range (meaning they are shot in high-defintion and then downgraded for some crazy reason), and are also downloadable. Unfortunately this is for new videos only, so that part of the collection is pretty small for now. Once this takes hold over the next year or two, they'll be much better off. I'd love to see the full HDTV files on the site, but this is better than before by far!
Score increased from 73.5 to 77.5.

It's business as usual at Her First Lesbian Sex it looks like. Updates continue to roll in nicely, bringing the content count up over the 200 scene mark which is pretty decent. They've come a long ways since our first look at the site so many years ago. All the updates over the last year have been in the higher-quality format, so that's looking better. They also setup a small discount for our readers to get the price down to $30 a month, which is still a tad high, but much better than the $40 they normally charge. They're doing pretty well overall it seems.
Score increased from 77.5 to 80.5.
