2023 A year in review

by Robin Banks · Published December 27, 2023 · Updated December 28, 2023

As is now customary, I like to have a little reminisce and wander through this years memories and share a few highlights with you. Before I do though, I just want to pay my own respects to the passing of Sophie Anderson, who died earlier this year.

As members will know, we enjoyed a couple of really fabulous shoots with Sophie over the last couple of years. She was a warm, fun-loving woman who we thought an awful lot of. She came to us in the earlier part of her rise in profile and career. And I think in some respects we enjoyed our time with the very best of Sophie.

She was almost without a care in the world, working hard and looking to establish herself as a performer in adult. She’d been working hard on her figure and put a lot of miles in training and came to us as a vibrant woman full of fun. She had her troubles in later years but now is not a time to dwell on those. We’ll just cherish the time we enjoyed with her, the laughs and light she brought into the world and she will be sadly, sadly missed.

On to happier times, as we do this time of year, we’d like to take you back and share a couple of times we’ve enjoyed in the last 12 months.

There’s been a lot going on since the days of Covid (remember that!?!?) and our websites have continued to prosper since. We’ve been fortunate to have enjoyed spending time with many new models, most of whom have come to us as a result of model-to-model referrals, which is always good to hear.

SNAP Award winner for ‘Best Adult Paysite 2023’

Naturally this was an incredible moment and a highlight really of the last decade. You know, in one respect, it doesn’t mean diddlysquat as there’s no financial gain to it. It’s not as though we’re all driving round in Aston Martins as a result!

But what is important is that it was voted for by the public. In a category which also included long standing and well-respected websites such as Joybear and Brazzers, we were naturally delighted to have won. And we could only have won that because of the support from the public and people taking time to go vote for us. (Full press release here)

We enjoyed a fabulous evening in London and it was great to see so many people we’d worked with over the years. And without wanting to sound like Ted Crilly when he picked up his ‘Golden Cleric’, it was also a nice poke in the eye to the naysayers and less professional people in the industry. One of which even set up fake social media accounts to be rude and derogatory towards us. Well, thats more sad for them that they were bitter enough and sad enough to do that. Hope they got over it

Random women dropping in, getting naughty and starting in adult!

Another highlight of this year was to have met another lovely model who’s become both a favourite with site members and also with folks who attend our events. Desi Mouse.

Our meeting came about because of an email I received from her partner Niall, asking if he could come along to an event we held earlier this year. It was someone I’d known a few years back but his work lead him away to different pastures and we’d not caught up together since then. Of course when I saw the name I remembered him and said it would be awesome to hook up again, and I looked forward to seeing him at the party.

So the night came round, which if I recall was a ‘Naughty Schoolgirlz’ style party with Sunflower Doll and Tamsin Riley. As I was setting up, I bumped into Niall and he introduced me to his new partner. She was quite shy and very sweet and was clearly a little bit giddy to have come to a sex party event.

We had a quick chat and I was stoked to see them both, and then scooted off to carry on setting up for the shoot. A few minutes later, Niall came on over and asked, “Is it okay if Desi helps clean up“. I was a bit confused to start with and replied explaining there was no need. One of the reasons we hold our events in existing swingers clubs is because there’s always staff on hand to help with such things, so honestly, there’s no need. He burst out laughing and explained, “Nooooo, I mean can she ‘clean up’ the girls at the end of the bukkake. It’s a real fantasy of hers”

!!! Oooooohhhh, [lightbulb moment] right, -CLEAN UP- you mean, okay, gocha!! So yeah I explained she’d be more than welcome. I could finish up filming at the end of the bukkake and then Desi could ‘clean up’ quite safely off-camera as much as she liked. “No, no, she’s quite happy to be filmed” Niall explained that had also been a bucket-list fantasy also. This sounded fun, but I explained I can’t do that not unless she’d brought some ID and was happy to sign a model release form as all models do. To which point, Desi whipped out her passport which she’d been excitedly secreting behind her!

So of course I let Desi rip and she had an absolute ball. She was soooo excited, bless her.

This night also gave birth to a new verb, “Tamsinning“, which is the art of having spunked licked off your face by a cum-hungry model.

At the end of the bukkake session at this party, Desi swooped in on Tamsin Riley, licking, kissing and snowballing the spunk off her face in one of the horniest un-promped acts of lust we’ve seen for a while. And since Tamsin was the recipient of Desi’s cum fetish lust, the act has now playfully become known as the act of ‘Tamsinning‘, ‘To Tamsin‘, ‘To have been Tamsinned‘ etc

Our 200th party and SNAP Award celebration

The next highlight from the last 12 months which is worthy of note was the fantastic double-celebration party. We had two things to celebrate, winning the SNAP award for ‘best paysite 2023’ and also it was our 200th party shoot. EDIT: Actually, it was -THREE- celebrations, because Gigi also picked up this years SNAP Award for best Female Performer too, so HUGE congrats to Gigi for that ❤️.

We put our thinking caps on and really tried to make this one a night to remember, so booked a really fabulous combination of models, in Gigi Rouge, Chanella Wella, Samantha and Jasmine Love. The latter three of which were models new to us but ones we’d been trying to sync up calendars with. And thankfully everything came together for the date we’d arranged.

This turned out a fantastic evening. Not only because we got to work with some lovely new models who we’ll certainly be working again with!! But also because maybe 90% of the guys who attended had all got themselves a clean STI test for the night.

This year we’ve insisted that anyone who wants to enjoy the bukkake part of our events fully will need to bring evidence of a clean STI test within 28 days. That new request took a while to sink in and took time for attendees to realise it’s very simple and not a hassle. The first party back since we put the measure in place, only 2 guys had a test done. Since then it’s grown, party-on-party and this was a high mark and I want to extend a huge thanks to all the lovely guys who came along, and got their tests done in time too.

Judging by the happy faces all round on the night, everyone had a blast, guys and girls alike and it really was a way to celebrate!
P.S. Again, another public apology to all the girls, who all ended up with varying degrees of pinkeye after this one!

Anal Halloween 2023 in Walsall

This party is always a highlight of the year and 2023 was no exception. A hard party to hold in some respects, as the previous years events have always been humdingers. But after a couple of lineup changes we managed to pull it off yet again. Our good friends Piggymouth, Classy Filth, Gigi Rouge and April Velvet joined us for the evening; not -all- doing anal in the gangbang, granted, but sometimes last minute lineup changes happen. Still, the event went like clockwork as usual, and the girls were all an absolute riot.

It’s always fun to see Piggy as she always brings maximum energy and fun to an event. And (though it’ll embarrass her with me saying this) it’s been nice to see Gigi develop and blossom. When we first met up a while back she was a delight and threw herself in with a smile and was thoroughly professional, but at the same time actually quite shy. Nowadays there’s a real confidence about her and it’s been lovely to see someone blossom like that.

To be honest with you though, I have to give credit to all four of the girls for this event. Not only did they all make a real effort, they all threw themselves into the event with the usual enthusiasm, and are all in that elite group of girls who are utterly rock-solid reliable too.

As you can imagine, the evening was absolute bedlam, with fucking going on all over the place. We did manage to get a couple of bukkake sessions shot too, but as you can imagine, when there’s some back-door action in the offing, a lot of the guys wanted to save themselves for this treat. And who could blame them!!!

Some final words

This year has been a successful one all round. Member subscriptions are at an all time high, we’ve won our first award and we’ve gotten to a point where we don’t have to approach new models these days as most new models come through via model referrals. This must mean we’re doing something right and we don’t take that for granted. Any of it.

So some final thanks to the venues who help us host our events. To Cherry & Mike at Dare2 in Bristol. Roxy and Des at Roxys Den in Walsall. And to Glenn and Suzanna at the Private Club in Birmingham.

Thanks to my pal Roy Stone for his help in taking pics for me this year. Oh, and to Skullfuka (Peeping Thom), Cheffie Shot and Sunflower Doll’s fella, who’ve all stepped in to help out at some point too.

Thanks to the guys who come along and support our events. We couldn’t do it without you. And a special thanks to those of you who take the time to get your STI tests done too.

Lastly, we’d like to thank the models who have worked with us this year.

So finally can we extend our best wishes of the season to you all, have a Happy New Year and as Dave Allen always used to end with, may your God go with you.

Peace

Robin
