BERLIN, Germany—Ersties.com, the German amateur erotica content site created by and for women, continues trending towards the mainstream with a new collection of scenes that shine a spotlight on real people placed in real first-time sexual situations.
The company, which gained viral fame last year with its "Tinder Sex Experiment"—two strangers meet on Tinder, then have sex on camera—helped usher in a new wave of "reality porn" where viewers build a relationship with the performers on-screen to better experience the raw energy of their scenes.
"We at Ersties love porn, and we strive to let our performers present themselves as subjects, not objects," said Paulita Pappel of Ersties.com. “With the rise of pornography in popular culture, the artistic value has decreased while sexual practices and bodies have became extremely artificial."
Ersties' erotic scenes are often playful—two girls unwrap sex toy gifts in "Sexy Surprise Christmas"—but also informative: "Let's Talk About Sex #1" explores the female orgasm while "Let's Talk About Sex #2" gets busy with different sex positions.
Ersties is one of the latest sites to feature the concept of everyday people having sex on camera for the first time in beautiful European locations, a fresh contrast to the glossed-up, bleached and siliconed porn stars of adult films.
"Our all-female shooting team tends to show women's sexuality in a more natural way," Pappel explained. "We are proud to present women who don't look like clichés; we create a genuine and authentic experience for the viewer, as the performers in our movies do what they want to do... no scripts, no faked orgasms, just fun."
The company was recently profiled by Melia Robinson for Tech Insider.
