Petra Joy makes porn from a woman’s perspective. That means the movies you find at her site are erotic, sexually charged, and yet play out for couples, not just for the guys. There’s the same focus on the guys as there is on the girls, and there’s always attention paid to detail and quality. Cinema Joy offers you a collection of Petra’s scenes, and some from other award-winning directors, and they are offered as streaming only. Extra content can be bought as you go with tokens.
We last looked at Cinema Joy in 2017, and then, we reported on 32 Petra Joy movies and 126 scenes from other producers. Now, there are 36 Petra scenes, and a total of 537 movies in the Couples Cinema, as the members’ area is called. However, not all of those scenes are unlocked by your standard membership, and you will have to pay extra to view them. More about that later, first, you might wonder why there are so few updates from Petra herself. That’s mainly because she retired back in 2017 and, as far as we know, is no longer making porn. That doesn’t mean the site won't be adding other scenes though, there are 25 studios/producers showing their work here.
Petra’s moves are shot from a female perspective. This means there’s plenty of attention paid to the guy, and you're not looking at simple, gratuitous hardcore. It's erotically charged, with expert filming, cinema-style shots and quality, it’s sensitive and yet, there’s plenty of the hardcore sex you came to see. There are scenario scenes, though no great dramas are played out before the erotica and porn, and when there’s dialogue, there are subtitles. The quality of the filming is perfect, as it always has been, and you get a classier kind of porn flick than you see on many other sites.
Petra Joy movies are varied too. There are lesbian scenes, some kinky bondage and subtle fetish movies, and they take place in various locations. There's always an eye for the details, the setting and the play between characters, so you're getting porn movies with more depth. You’re not getting upload dates though, so we can't say when or if more movies will be added to Cinema Joy, but it’s clear to see that over time, the site has grown. It’s also changed in that it no longer allows downloading.
The 537 mixed movies that are now available are there for streaming only and you have up to four resolutions in which to stream. Up-to-date movies come with 1,920 x 1,080 full HD option and one at 1024i. There are also 720p and 480p, and on some videos, those are the only two options. Movies run for six to 20 + minutes, and can be streamed at full screen. Movies come with a description and links to models’ other performances.
There’s no model index here and no galleries, you simply have the collection of movies, some of which you have to pay extra for. There are scenes from top producers such as Verso, Madison Young, Maria Beaty and Mario Ancewicz, and you’ll see if they are included or extras by the coloured padlock on each of the large sample shots. If it’s red, you can still click to read the description, but you’ll need to buy the tokens in order to stream. Sadly, I can't tell you what the tokens cost because no prices showed up. I was simply told I didn't have any.
Cinema Joy is a simple place. It’s very well laid out, and it’s easy to find the scenes, see what’s available and then check out the producers and a page of categories. There’s a simple search box to use, but no other search and sort options apart from the categories page. You can’t, for example, see what’s top of the polls, or arrange the content in any other way than that shown. There is update news on the homepage, though no upload dates.
Obviously, as this is streaming-only, there are no download buttons or info, and on your viewing pages, you only have the descriptions and models’ names to check out. You can like scenes and add them to a favourites area, and there is a section for comments at the bottom of each scene’s page. Generally, navigation is easy enough, the index pages are clearly marked, and there were no technical issues.
Although I'm unable to tell you the cost of the additional tokens, I can tell you that the basic membership, which brings you the Petra Joy movies and others, stands at $19.95 per month, recurring. There is also a three-month offer at $59.95 (which is just about the same as the monthly one when you work it out), and an annual sign-up at $119.95, which is the same as paying $9.86 per month. Watch out on the details page as there’s a pre-checked cross sale to Puffy down at the bottom.
Cinema Joy has changed a little since we last saw it. Now, there are no downloads, but there is more content. The classic, stylish Petra Joy movies are still there, and there are others from top directors, but some now have to be paid for. It's a simple site that delivers very high-quality erotica movies made from a woman’s point of view and aimed at couples, though they don't leave out the guys. Stunning work, it’s just a shame we can't keep the scenes, and don't know when more will be added.
