So is there an actually salary to be had here? Or is this a simple "cool! I get free porn!" sort of deal?

It's a "Cool I get free Porn" plus it's a "cool what I say impacts the way they make adult movies b/c the studios listen very closely to what we say in our reviews" and "Hey cool I am part of a team of writers that includes some big porn stars"

How would I tell my 1-year-old daughter she cannot watch her Baby Einstein DVD? Daddy has work to do!

Many of our reviewers have kids. They do their watching later at night after 'night night time'.

Seriously, it sounds like a dream job, but A: the wife would never believe me and B: I barely find the time to be able to even WATCH a movie (porn or otherwise), let alone write a report on it.

We send reviewers batches of 4-5 titles. Reviewers watch the discs and then write reviews which break down the discs by scene. These breakdowns talk about how good or bad each scene was and then at the end sums up the disc as a whole.

You can see examples here: http://www.xcritic.com/reviews/

As I mentioned before, the adult studios take the reviews very seriously and they often impact the way they make their films.

hmmm

GeoffK:

How often are the batches sent? Weekly/monthly or something else? Once receiving, how many days before they have to be shipped back to you? Is there leway in that, if something else happens, a review could be delayed by a few days?

Is the volunteer position still open?

Regards,

Sanjay

Kids time for bed! Honey? Is there another box of kleenex around? How about some baby oil? After the fourth review I'm getting a little chaffed.

Ah yes, Bluray porn. With the Bluray version I was actually able to count the wrinkles in her rectum and the pimples on her ass before his great big red veiny cock split it wide open. Something I wasn't able to do with the Standard DVD. Now I can read all the tattoos, not just the big ones on their back.

Man, I'd love to, but I'd only be able to review the first 15 minutes, tops.

My first Blu-Ray was a porn (thanks to winning a contest over at Xcritic).

We've really stepped up our giveaways to offer a lot of prizes on a regular basis, so there have been a LOT of winners of late on the site!
