Technology, especially computer technology, is speeding the world up. This is particularly true of the internet amd pornography, which has led developments for over ten years and is now a mature market. Breaking in to this market is very tough indeed and needs a very strong offer. Sadly this new site dedicated to Relish films falls some way short. There?s just not enough content and the construction is confusing and creaky.

Relish has released around 40 first class films on dvd giving their webmaster in the region of 200 scenes to get loaded by launch. As Hazza B?Gunne and his team are still producing they can release a further scene per week. When I looked a little over half are available, roughly in order of dvd release with nothing later than 2004. The layout is a confusing with a large space containing the latest and forthcoming scenes while the full catalogue is accessed through the dvd covers tucked away at the bottom of the page. Even here only the small title text is linked, not the whole graphic so clicking on a title is a tad awkward, and not all of them work. Most films have their full complement of scenes. The sign up page boasts access to 30 Relish sites. There is no sign of these additional sites inside and a close inspection of the thumbnails reveals them to be the usual scenes grouped by theme such as ?outdoor? and ?girl-girl?.

Each actress has a thumbnail portrait with links to her scenes and picture galleries. I found Elizabeth Michelle Lawrence missing from this list and there may be more. The picture galleries themselves are generally disappointing with some empty or contained only half a dozen stills. At best there are only a couple of dozen of low-res examples.

Scenes are available in four resolutions classified by download speed, which are in wmv format that have to play through before saving, with no direct download facility. At maximum size they provide acceptable viewing although well below dvd quality; at 56k they are watchable (if that?s the word) only at the size of a postage stamp.

The site looks good in an off-the-shelf design kinda way but it is short of content. The links take you to to the Adult Label affiliate programme, which I assume is included in the subscription although all the text here is aimed at webmasters and my complementary password wouldn?t let me in. The choice of other sites is woefully limited which comprises Marcus Allen?s auditions (being reconstructed) Hard British, which carries the just Relish scenes you?ve just watched; handjob and facial sites without tour facilities so hard to judge and a gay site. No why on God?s Earth would a Relish subscriber want to flick over to watch a couple of lads bugger each other? Not what I call a bonus.

This site gives you access to around half the Relish scenes for the price of a dvd so its good value if you want to grab some older scenes over a couple of weeks. My current choice of US site offers near dvd quality and access to 750 girls in over a thousand plus scenes for the same money so I can?t see anyone lasting more than a month here.

Is your US site the much-lauded, and rightly so, Videobox?
