Beautiful Agony is an extremely unique site featuring video clips of real people having (mainly self-induced) orgasms (this is the beautiful agony the site's name refers to). The members area content is entirely non-nude; the footage focuses exclusively on the participant's faces as they climax. I've never really seen material like this before, so I was very curious to check things out.
The members area here is pretty simple and looks pretty much identical to the free side of the site. There's a menu down the side and pages of thumbnails that link to the various video clips. Currently, they've got 200 vids and each one provides you with the file size and running time as well as the option of streaming the clip or downloading it in a zip file. The streaming file plays in a pop-up window and is in WMV format, the downloadable vid is an MPG and of course can be played in an external viewer.
The video quality here is pretty good, although I guess I was expecting a little better from a video only site. Since the "agonies" are user submitted, maybe that explains it. Anyhow, the vids weigh in at 320 x 240 at around 300KBps and range from 30 seconds to 6 minutes in length. The clips look nice enough to get the job done, although anything larger than 200% started to get a bit too pixelated for my tastes. The downloadable MPG and the streaming WMV look pretty much the same, as least to my eyes.
The main draw at BeautifulAgony.com is the extremely unique content. All of the videos are submitted by real amateurs and there are men and women here (90% of the site is of women though, thank god). As I mentioned in the intro, there's no nudity here; the entire video is focused on the individual's face, just like in the screencaps that link to the clips. Most of the scenes are solo, although some of the "agonees" enlist the help of someone else downstairs to make them cum. You still only see the person who's having the orgasm on camera though. A basic clips consists of the girl or guy getting situated under the camera and then making themselves cum. You get to see the buildup to the orgasm and then the big "O" itself. Since this is all real and not a staged porn movie, you have all types of cummers: whimperers, moaners, gaspers, loud, soft, some looking at the cam, some with eyes closed, you name it. A lot of the girls are quite cute and sexy, and it's pretty hot watching them get off in front of the camera.
Other than the video clips, they have a forum that looks to be pretty active, although I'm not sure if any of the agonees post on the board. There's also a section called Overkill which is primarily an area where they post they post additional videos submitted by girls/guys who already have a clip on the site. There are also some videos in there of some of the girls talking to the camera about orgasms and various sexual subjects. This is cool if you want to hear their voices (there's not much talking going on in the orgasm clips).

I don't think I'd call Beautiful Agony a porn site; it's probably more properly classified as a unique form of erotica. I do wish the videos were of slightly higher quality, however they're more than adequate to get the job done. This site is most likely one-of-a-kind; if you 're turned on by the idea of watching real people having real orgasms, then you'll definitely want to check out BeautifulAgony.com.
