It's a mystery and a matter of personal taste as to why certain body shapes and types appeal to different individuals. Vive la difference, hey. It sure provokes a mass of variety in the porn industry, which has benefits for all. However, it's a new one for me to find a film maker, like that of Mature Erotic, whose preference includes shooting sequences from below the subject to create a foreshortening effect that turns bodies into truncated and bulbous shapes. Then he labels it erotic. You just can't account for all tastes.

MatureErotic presents genuinely older women, with bodies beyond the reach of their lithe, fresh contours. These chicks have lost flesh and muscle tone and are now ripe to overripe and deliberately shot in unflattering poses and angles. It's possible the "gross" factor is at play here, or perhaps the site is aimed at older men used to older femmes' bodies and wanting more of the same. Well, good for them. There are 101 galleries so far.

Despite the reasonable quality of the stills, the vids – which come in four size options - occasionally lack that essential crisp detail needed for viewer satisfaction and a refresher lesson in lighting wouldn't go astray. Once you decide this niche is for you, there are two lingering points to worry about. The first is the brevity of the clips, although they are set up to run in slow mo,' so they actually last about four times as long as stated.

The other issue is the display of the videos, which desperately need to be chunked into categories. Oh, I don't know: stockings, silk panties, finger play – things like that would be preferable to slogging your way through a single vertical list of thumbnails. Something similar would also be useful for the models' photo sets.

I should mention these vids can only be viewed in Macromedia Flash. Currently, there are 97 movies to peruse. There is a link conveniently provided to install the software and despite the problems I had with this, I wouldn't expect others to have similar difficulties. Nevertheless, I would prefer viewers had another download option. There are extras in the form of DVDs and videos for sale.

While Mature Erotic is not everyone's cup of tea, there will be many browsers for whom this site is a winner. Is that you? For a hefty trial fee or standard priced monthly membership, you can answer that question yourself. Assuredly, if you have read all the way to the end of this review, you must at least have a rudimentary attraction. Do yourself a favor, check it out.
