SapphicErotica.com is the website of webmaster/photographer/guy Bailey, who likes to watch girls kiss as much as you, maybe more so even. He seems to be a pretty friendly guy who put this site up because it captures something he is truly interested in, lesbians. His personal interest in the site comes across in the quality of the pictures, the dialogue on the site and the frequency of updates (every other day). Overall I feel like Bailey is a cool guy with very similar taste to most guys I know! But enough about him :) I was immediately taken with this site. It doesn't feel like some slick rip-off site full of overshot, overexposed leased junk. Rather, the sweet pink colors, beautiful pictures and cute girls put me right at ease.
I really liked the design of the free area and hoped that it would continue inside. However, they have taken the concept of "simple" to the limit. Not a single graphic is to be found inside. It is all text and photos. I don't mind this, and I'm certainly not faulting them for simplicity, I just feel the site is lacking some design that would make the entire site feel as professional as their photos do, as well as some extra features that might make browsing this site a little easier. With that said, there are some positive aspects worth noting. The photo galleries are organized into categories, both chronologically and by fetish, in addition to one category that includes only the exclusive photo sets. There is also a model index which I absolutely appreciate. Overall it's a good set up. It just feels a little too amateur for a site like this. I know this site is a one man creation but I think he might consider spending a bit more time on design when he has a chance.
About 30% (10,000) of the pictures on this site are completely exclusive to Sapphic. The quality is outstanding, particularly the quality of the exclusive galleries. These are very professional looking pictures. The size usually hovers around 800x1200. Even the leased photosets are excellent. It is clear that quality is very important to this website. All of the galleries, of course, involve multiple girls in lesbian scenes. Expect some kissing, some foreplay, some toys and all the other good stuff you'd hope for in a girl-girl gallery. It's a nice mix of soft stuff and hardcore sex really. There is an emphasis on this being on "real" action, no fake posed lesbian stuff; just the real deal. I think that comes across in the pictures; those tongues are definitely touching! Most of the models are youngish (early twenties?) and very pretty. The pictures are also available for download in zip files.
There are currently around 70 videos available which we're told is equivalent to over 20 hours of video, 14 hours of which are exclusive. Each video is typically divided into 5 or 6 shorter clips. There are two format offered, DiVX AVI and MPEG. The quality, including audio, at 100% was excellent. Unfortunently, 100% was only 350x260, which feels a little bit on the small side. This is a real shame because otherwise they were quite good! You're also provided with a few preview shots of the video, as well as a brief description of what happens. The videos accompany the galleries so expect the same sort of activities. I really enjoyed the videos and only wished they were larger. In addition to their own videos, Sapphic also provides access to the video feeds of Lesbian Beauties. This is a nice addition, and thankfully fits with the theme of the site. Quality here is good and they have a decent selection of videos to choose from.
I think SapphicErotica.com is going down (pun intended) as one of my favorite lesbian websites. The quantity is good and the quality is great. I could look at these pictures for hours. The price is very reasonable, especially for a site that updates every other day and frequently includes exclusive photographs. A rework of the design of the member's area would be nice, but honestly that's a pretty minor gripe. I recommend Sapphic to all lesbian fans.

Here we are back with the lovely ladies of Sapphic Erotica. Eight months have passed since we last visited and I noticed two nice changes here. First off, obviously, the content count has increased substantially. There are now 48,000 pics online (up from 30,000) and 132 videos (up from 72). 18,000 pictures in eight months is a pretty big jump! The second major change involves the videos. Previously they were quite small, around 320x240 in size. Very recently they began offering the videos in a nice large 640x480! This was a welcomed change as it was one of my very few complaints during my initial review. Now you can watch these awesome videos at full-screen and enjoy every girl-girl kiss up close.
I really enjoy Saphhic Erotica. I would like to see the member's area design caught up to the professional tour to better reflect what kind of quality site this is. However, I'd definitely overlook any slight navigational grievances to get my hands on these beautiful lesbian pictures and videos.
Score increased from 86.9 to 88.6.

What a difference seven months makes! You've heard us all lament the member's area design of Sapphic for a long time now and I'm very pleased to report that a massive redesign and reorganization has taken place. In addition to the much more attractive and professional design and graphics, it's now very easy to jump straight to whatever you're looking for. There are many advanced sort features for browsing as well as the ability to make custom zip files. When I said the site needed an upgrade in my previous reviews I just meant a few tweaks were needed. These changes are massive and make for one of the nicest designs I've seen on any site.
The collection has increased from 48,000 pictures to over 60,000 and the video section has grown, as well. The content still looks awesome. The only negative thing I have to say is that the price increased from $25 a month to $30 for the first month and $25 for each additional month. If this site interests you I definitely recommend sucking up the extra $5 for that first month because I'm almost positive once you're in there you're not going to want to leave! Sapphic Erotica is a must join for lesbian fans.
Score increased from 88.6 to 91.9.

Another year has passed and Sapphic Erotica is doing better than ever. The size of the site has grown from 60,000 images to nearly 80,000, about 50,000 of which are original photos. That is such an awesome improvement from when we first looked at Sapphic. The video collection has also grown to include 300 movies. Clearly the five times a week updates are paying off for this now large site. Looking through their list of updates, I'd say around 90% of the new updates feature original content. They've also started adding super high quality movies that play at 2000k and 960x540. These movies look amazing and I can't wait until they have more of them. For most surfers, the price now recurs at $30 rather than dropping to $25 after the initial month. However, Sapphic set up a special discount for our readers so that membership is now only $20 a month, a fantastic value for this site. Sapphic Erotica is a top notch site for any genre and possibly the best lesbian site period!
Score increased from 91.9 to 93.0.
