Review of 'Fem Fantasy'
Directly marketing itself as a porn site for women, your first thought is Yippie! But sadly, the marketing is about all they have.
Sure, the tour is slick & sexy, & you think soon your panties will be slick too. But it’s too slick to be true.
I’ll admit, I gave this site a very brief review. I signed up for the free 30 minute trial membership. And that’s about all I stayed for. But after you read this, you tell me if you would stay?
To my surprise, I had not really joined a site called Fem Fantasy, what I actually joined was Purve.com. Gone was the midnight blue & the chiseled men. In their place, white with mod purple & plum graphics. And a ‘Welcome to Purve.com’ message. It may not seem like much of a breach in trust to you, but in the bad-rap-world-of-adult-pay-sites, why make the new member’s arrival one of ‘huh?!’ But still, Gracie the fearless moves on...
At the very bottom of the members area screen, the left-hand side, there were some graphics that looked familiar ~ the ‘old Fem Fantasy’ graphics. So I clicked on an sexy photo of a well-chiseled male model. A bio, some tidbits, and a few galleries of nice photography. I’ll admit it. They guy was good looking in the classic male model sense. The photos were beautiful ~ nice quality, more artistic than amateur shots. Well done. But aware of my ticking clock, I now head back to the main members page. (Easy to do with that annoying top & bottom frames set up they are using ~ Easy, but distracting.)
So Gracie pops on over to the erotic story section. Boasting original stories, true life stories, stories by members, how would Gracie choose? I ended up in a GurlGasm. I didn’t know what is was either ~ but apparently a GurlGasm “is your bedtime story magazine with a mix of exclusive erotic fiction.”
I read a story about Nina. A pretty young thing who has “been stripping to pay my way through college for just over a year.” She has a rule not to do ‘extras.’ “No sex, no matter how much they offer me. And I have always stuck to that rule, except for one night, 3 months ago...” Yeah, you guessed it, she fucks at a show. But see there were two of them, & she told them the gig was on her, so technically, she didn’t break her rule. OK, so it’s a bit trite for it’s just under 1000 words. But it was cute. Not orgasmic, not even a gurgling-gurl-gasm or whatever they wanted me to call it. But it was ok. Perhaps there were great stories if I had stayed longer, but I was on the clock, remember?
So I went back to the members area. There I spied an unusual & attractive offering: Audio Erotica. The snippet of text that describes the area goes like this: “From Oceania, the sexiest voice on the net ... a collection of 200+ stories, with featured audio!!” (Wow, two exclamation points, it must be good *wink*)
I clicked the link, and as I did I wondered about that wording “a collection of 200+ stories, with featured audio.” Did that mean that there were over 200 audio stories, or 200 stories with some audio ‘sound bites,’ or what the hell did it mean? Maybe I was over thinking it a bit because I expected to join Fem Fantasy & got Purve. I don’t know. But I had plenty of time to think about it...
My this link was taking a long time...
Oh, you know why it was? Because it had a damn pop up ad ~ Yes, a pop up ad in a paid members site! Oh, that is low class. You *don’t* solicit for some personals site with a pop up advertisement to your members who have already paid to be, as Purve itself states, VIP Members.
*snort*
What’s worse (oh yes, there’s more to snort about), when you get to Sin Empire, their audio page or site, & you’ve survived the assault of the unwelcome advertising ~ that’s all you get! Popups & a black screen with Sin Empire & a ‘click here to enjoy the gallery.’ OK, and you get the cheerfully mod frames. But what you don’t get is audio. Or stories. Let alone audio erotica.
At this point, I want out. I feel my 30 minutes are not only up, but just a way to doom me to some lifetime struggle to get un-subscribed. I head off to cancel my membership.
At the bottom of my VIP members page, a golden link “CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION.” Oh yes, thank you, I will.
From there, you go to ‘Technical Support’ which isn’t what you wanted. But there is a link at the top for ‘Billing Support & Cancellation.’ As I click it, I wonder where I will end up, but I get there. Only there is a catch. Naturally.
Gracie has paid with a credit card, so she feels this line is most appropriate to follow: “Credit Card Customers may search for or cancel their member account by visiting the billing company that appears on your transaction receipt, and credit card statement.” This is followed by 2 payment processing companies. None of which are familiar... A quick look back at my purchase receipt, and nope, neither of these are the right companies. Is this some plan to make me run over my 30 minutes & be billed?
I go to the payment processor’s site, & from there it was a snap. Or at least I think it was. God help them if it didn’t cancel my subscription.
(I have also emailed both the website & the payment processor with my cancellation request. I have received replies from robots, but no humans yet.)
So, overall, what do I think of Fem Fantasy? Or Purve, or whoever they are? Let me put it this way...
I wish I had the owners & operators of this site in my presence. Gracie, dressed as a nun & with ruler in hand, would instruct them to repeat after me:
I will not violate trust by playing switcheroo.
I will not assault my members with popups.
I will deliver what I promise.
I will not trap victims.
I will not be a ninny.
After this, they are each instructed to write the following on the chalkboards of eternity:
I will become a person of integrity.
Heh. Now Gracie has had her GurlGasm.
