 Jane Magazine Editor Nancy Millar met with our New York office representative over coffee to talk about SugarDVD's online rentals. You can see the full article in the August issue of Jane Magazine.
Racier Than Netflix by Nancy Millar
The brilliance of online adult-DVD rental cannot be overstated. In the privacy of your not-filled-with-men-in-raincoats home, you pick a bunch of pornos, type in your credit card info and wait impatiently for your shipments. You keep an online list of titles you want, and whenever they become available they mail you your choices. The discs come in plain envelopes, no nobody is the wiser, and you send them back whenever you’re done. SugarDVD lets you keep 'em as long as you want, with no late fees. Generally, expect to pay between $9 and $50 a month. I recommend anything starring Tera Patrick. |

Dirty Little Secrets by Ethan LaCroix
Thanks to these online rental sites, you'll never have to wear a disguise to your corner video store again.
Most people aren't comfortable sauntering up to the counter at the local video shop and handing the hipster attendant the box for Buttman's Anal Divas. Sure, these clerks are professionals and they've seen it all-but do you really want them to know you've got a woody for some ass action?
For anyone who dreads facing the video clerk, one of the only options until recently was to buy your porn. That meant you were stuck with an expensive movie that may or may not turn your crank. But several companies, in the tradition of the mainstream hit Netflix, are now offering the chance to rent all the smut your eyes can handle from a private perch in front of your computer.
The following are representative of a growing cadre of sites that offer unlimited monthly rentals by mail, with various subscription rates determining how many DVDs you can have out at a time (they're delivered in discreet packaging, of course). You also get postage-paid returns and will never have to pay late fees as long as you remain a member.
SugarDVD offers the widest selection of plans among the sites we found, from the "Beginner" ($9.95 a month for one DVD at a time) to "Extreme" ($43.95 for up to eight movies). Most of the girls on the site are at least semiclothed, meaning you might not get fired for surfing here at work. |
