The name Forbidden Gem reminds me of old-school video games, so I figured I would be able to sign in and see Mario finally getting some from that cockteasing Princess. However, my naughty Nintendo dreams ended abruptly once I realized this was a site featuring some smoking hot babes.
Since our last visit, ForbiddenGem has gone through a complete redesign and the changes are readily apparent. For starters, the old site featured a variety of straight and lesbian action. The new direction appears to be exclusively solo masturbation and lesbian scenes. The 27 videos in the library feature some really hot stunners who know how to perform for the cameras.
Another big change is the variety of options you have to access the content. Clicking a preview pic takes you ta page that starts the full-length scene on an embedded Flash player. Below the player, you'll find that you can also stream the scenes in clips in the Windows Media, Flash and MPEG formats. You can also download the scenes as full-length files or as clips in the aforementioned formats, providing great to stellar-quality plabyack.
Unfortunately, one thing that hasn't changed is that some of the scenes, particuarly the solo masturbation sessions, can be quite short. Overall, the average is around seven minutes, though some end around the four-minute mark.
Each video comes with a set of vid caps and there is also a dedicated section on the site featuring professionally shot material. Most of the 28 photo sets are solo pictorials, with a couple one-on-one Sapphic sessions thrown in. The galleries are rather small, with around 25 images per set, though Zip files are available. You can choose between three sizes, with the biggest giving you high-res shots.
The site updates once every six to seven days. There are no bonuses, so the presently small library might detract some. Overall, Forbidden Gem provides sweet action with some truly gorgeous babes. Totally redesigning the site put them back at square one, but they're certainly off to a good start.

01/10/2011- From 79 to 77: Improved design, but less content and less frequent updates. -Wayne - Initial review: 5/8/2010
It's good to see someone stumble across FG! I was once one of the "Gems", Phoenix Gray, for the company, but now I am retired, and I am the artist responsible for all of the crazy makeup requested by Ms. St. Claire ;) Although the content isn't updated as frequently, they have TONS more still to come from some amazing shoots they still haven't posted! Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing Moxxie Maddron, Karen Kougar, Sunny Dae, Autumn Westin, Erin Marxxx, Vanessa Naughty and MANY MORE!!
