People have been speaking about representation and community with respect to media and film for a long time. However, as time goes on, we realize there is still much work to be done, especially in the adult film industry. Thankfully, independent studios like AltPorn4U are popping up in force and aren’t taking no for an answer.
What is AltPorn4U?
AltPorn4U was created by Irina Vega in 2005 as a way to serve her community in Spain. At the time, alternative porn was completely non-existent in that area and she saw a need she wanted to fill. She built a community where other directors, photographers, performers, and other independent artists could have a secure space where they could share, show their creations, and cater to all sensibilities.
Currently, all of the site’s content is available via ManyVids (this is where the AltPorn4U library lives), PinkLabel.TV, Adult Time, The Erika Lust Store, CheeX, and XO Sex School.
Cost of AltPorn4U
AltPorn4U does a lot of things right when it comes to pricing, like offering its content across multiple platforms. But it also does a couple of things wrong.
For starters, it’s great that members have the option of choosing between four different membership lengths. One month, three months, six months, or one year options are all available, with the latter at a pretty standard price. However, where I see a mistake is in the one month membership, which is considerably higher than normal.
Where most sites range from $20-$30 per month, AltPorn4U charges $39.99 for the monthly membership. The three month membership comes with a discount, priced at only $19.99 per month. However, members have to pay the full three month fee in one payment of $59.98. So for those of you that may be big on budgeting, we suggest supporting the site via a partner membership like Adult Time or PinkLabel. This way you’re able to view all the alt-porn you’d like while having the option to enjoy boatloads of other content. Talk about bang for your buck!
Additionally, you may have noticed there’s no free trial available. However, if you sign up for AltPorn4U’s newsletter, you unlock free access to one of its originals! So it’s still possible to test the waters before fully committing.
Membership pros
Access to 100+ high-quality, stand-out videos
When you’re looking for a new site to indulge in, content is obviously key. And the videos found on www.altporn4u.com surely don’t disappoint. With just over 150 videos to choose from (spanning across multiple categories), there’s no telling how satisfied any one individual can be!
Very clear mission statement
While there are independent studios popping up more than ever before, not all of them are taking full advantage of their ability to be transparent with their members. AltPorn4U is one of the good ones. A summary of its mission statement is laid out on the homepage for all to see. Its dedicated manifesto also goes into further detail. It lists its ethical values, among which are diversity and feminism, performer pleasure, mutual agreement and understanding of what is about to take place between the performers. There’s also choice of protection, ethical age groups, fair pay, and price in the content produced. If there were ever a porn site to invest in, AltPorn4U seems to fit the bill to a T.
Extras! Extras! And more extras!
Many potential members might think that just the content itself seals the deal, but that’s not the case. Site bonuses and extras actually do a lot to help that decision along. AltPorn4U is one of those sites that gets a lot of help from its content extras. While the video content available is top tier in terms of production and storyline, its library isn’t the most extensive.
Thankfully, the number of extras that this site offers is so enticing you’ll be hard-pressed not to sign up. Enjoy a look at the behind-the-scenes extras from popular films like the Meet Miss Estigia set. Or dive into the devious happenings from the Wicked Shots Mix set. Members can also satisfy their cravings with photo sets. Our personal faves are from 420 Mary Jane, Maya and Vicky, Sexy Killer, and Silvia Rubi’s Lingerie.
If you’re feeling a little adventurous, explore the sex lessons series to learn tips and tricks from alternative porn performers. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, try your hand at the lesbian POV series. Climb inside the performers’ eyes and pretend you’re there yourself. The list of extras goes on and on at AltPorn4U.com, you just need to see it to believe it.
Membership downfalls
Limited library
AltPorn4U has a very extensive library of bonus content but the standard content found on the site is underwhelming. Overall, there are about 24 full-length films for members to indulge in. As far as studios go, AltPorn4U doesn’t beat off the competition’s quantity (but it may reign supreme in terms of quality!).
Is it worth it?
There are a few things that make membership to AltPorn4U hard to pass up. The powerful and important mission statement, all the site extras, and the quality of content featured. However, the membership price is so high many won’t be able to afford it. I would say that if AltPorn4U is well within your budget, a membership would be very rewarding. Long term, I hope that AltPorn4U looks at its pricing and makes it a little more manageable for its potential members. Everyone should have the opportunity to subscribe to a site with morals and content like this one!
