Yanks is a site which features unknown girls masturbating, having lesbian sex, and talking about sexual matters. The site started in 2002, and the people behind the camera are all female. They hold some very strong views about female sexuality and creative expression, and these come across strongly in the site’s content.

Yanks works hand in hand with Call To Safety, an organisation dedicated to opposing sexual and domestic violence. I very much like that a porn site proudly shouts out its pro-active role in an important area of social responsibility. The female ethos behind the site comes through strongly.

And the site has a very positive, happy, welcoming feel to it. It is very pleased and proud to be exactly what it sets out to be, and this is conveyed by all the girls and also the site itself.

Yanks models

The girls are stated to be amateurs, which I take to mean that they are not mainstream porn performers. This isn’t strictly true, but the number of pros in the list of 470-odd girls is tiny.

Yanks’ girls are mostly very different to the porn girls we are used to. These girls are comfortable in the bodies they are graced with. They look how they want to look, not how they think others want them to look. So there are few breast enhancements, they frequently have pubic hair in various quantities and styles, assorted tattoos and piercings etc. Oh, and there are some very, very bad hairdos. Some of the girls could fairly be described as plain, though none are unattractive.

Yet none of that matters very much, because the one thing that sets this site apart is that these girls are happy. Whether they are actively engaged in something sexual or simply talking, their enjoyment is clear, as is their rapport with the woman behind the camera.

Content

Each girl’s page has a number of clips and photo sets:

· the girl sits fully or partly clothed, talking about herself and her sex life.

· a video may accompany a posed photoset, perhaps on a location

· the girl masturbates

· a pair of girls have sex

In every case, the clips are unscripted and the girls have freedom to follow her own leanings. This enhances the feeling of enjoyment on the part of each girl: she is doing what she wants, not what she has been coached to do.

The site says that the orgasms shown are genuine – that is one of the points of Yanks – and, while I always retain an element of doubt about on-screen orgasms being the real thing, this may nonetheless be true.

Most of the girls have filled out handwritten questionnaires about masturbation and sexual history, and these are frequently included on their pages: they make entertaining reading!

All clips are widescreen HD, well-lit and crystal clear, and the camera is usually tripod-mounted. Sound is very good, to the extent that you can frequently hear background clatter outside the room – how do they concentrate on masturbating?

Usability

This is an attractively presented site. Everyone will go to the videos option on the menu bar, and this offers you “latest” as the initial screen. You can also select by most popular and title, as well as by the names of the girls, with an alphabetical option. Selection is easy and intuitive, and linking is full.

These days, we expect websites to work quickly and efficiently, and Yanks doesn’t disappoint. Links work quickly, and downloads and streaming are fast and problem free.

Usability only really needs comment where there is a negative, so here goes: Yanks automatically logs you out if you remain inactive for a period. I am one of those people who opens various applications at once, and then moves between them as circumstances and distractions dictate. It was an inconvenience to have to log in again, especially as the password was horrific and I couldn’t find a Change Password option.

Longevity

Updates are regular, and appear in chronological order on the “latest” page. There is also advance warning of scenes due to appear in the near future. The aim is for their to be in the region of 15 updates per week, although it was slightly fewer than this during the week I was looking.

Value

This depends on what you want from your porn. If you have a strong leaning towards female masturbation and lesbianism, then this site will give you exactly what you want, beautifully done, and lots of it: your subscription will be the best money you will ever spend.

On the other hand, if you lean more towards mainstream heterosexual activity then Yanks won’t hold your interest. The interview sections are a delight, and penises are mentioned a lot, but there are none on screen (and never will be) and you may find your interest runs dry very quickly.
