What features/services would you like to have on R18.com?

[asterlong]

R18 please upgrade your search function(s), it's so bad

With the search bar, I can't look up movies when i only remember actresses who have somewhat simple sounding name like "Rie" and "Ai", the search results are full of "marRIEd woman", "vaRIEty", I don't mind if the search result got jumbled up with results like "Rieri" but this is ridiculous. And this is especially bad in the amateur section, where the actresses mostly listed with 1 name

With the tag searching (advance search), i can't look up a not-as-popular actress when I'm cross searching with for example a tag or a studio. please add something like a dynamic search box to the advance search section, it would help so much

This is a government firewall. You should use a VPN or try with HTTPS in latest version of Firefox.

I'm using DNSCrypt in my PC and 1.1.1.1 WARP+ on table. Both same issue. And I'm not in Korea.

Korea now uses SSL sniffing to block sites, you can't circumvent it easily anymore.

Also you clearly are in Korea from a network standpoint, otherwise you wouldn't get that message. Maybe check your IP routing.

R18 need a father in law section and also a classic section as a lot of people prefer old classics from 80's 90's. back in them days the storylines was better and everything was natural as there was no fake cum or computer tricks

What kind of features/services would you like to be added on R18.com?

Download to a PC without DRM and I'll buy 10 or 12 VR titles every month, even if they are "free" here. I like to pay for what I watch, but streaming is to pay for smoke.

And the quality of streaming if you live out of Japan like me is very low, and the PC VR player of R18 is awful.

 

[Walle12]

Can anyone explain what is going on with the JAV VR stores?

It seems that the new Crystal VR movies are no longer at A Festa VR, only at R18, when for years they have had temporary exclusivity on A Festa VR.
And KMP titles are now coming out with a month delay on A Festa.

On the other hand, new 3DSVR titles are no longer on R18, only at A Festa...

There have been some strange moves between these two stores with VR titles in the last couple of months.

Walle12: we're trying to get everything possible on SLR. Some studios may have Exclusive DMM agreements though (hence why one may drop its wares from other sites only to go on DMM to get an extra few % in revenue share).

 

[Walle12]

I have been subscribed some months at SLR and I have bought some titles, SLR Originals usually are fantastic.

SLR is the best VR company by far. You produce the best western VR movies and you allow to download without DRM. I spend money at SLR every month, usually SLR Original titles.

But, unfortunately, I have two problems with SLR.

In the western front, I hate fake tits and piercings and tattoos, all those weird american fetishes that I can't swallow, it is a turn off for me. And 70% of western VR movies have fake tits or piercings, something like that, so a monthly subscription doesn't pay off if I can't enjoy 70% of the content.

In the JAV front, sorry but the problem is that most of the content are from the worst JAV VR companies (in my opinion): Casanova, Max A, Mondelde VR, Natural High, V1VR... Too much clothes, camera too far away, almost no face-to-face sex... I don't like it. You have some SOD VR and some KMP, but usually they are old titles.

And all JAV VR is streaming, it can't be downloaded.

If you can access the new titles of SOD VR, KMP VR with downloads, I'll buy all of them from you without any doubt, because I want to support you.

But I know it is difficult because Japanese companies don't allow to download out of Japan. A nonsense, all the movies are pirated since first day.

What happened to SLR's promise to shoot VR movies in Japan with Japanese actresses? This would be a dream, because SLR image quality is light years ahead of the JAV VR companies...

 

[IdeNali]

@R18.com what happened to all the scat content on your site? (See also this thread https://www.akiba-online.com/threads/r18.2074980/)
Will it come back or is it gone forever? All in all a very weird/bad move... I know that content isn't for everyone but to completely discontinue it.... I'm baffled...
Is there a particular reason, like payment processor don't want to work with you if you offer that content?
What happens with my movies that I own? Currently I can still watch them but will they be removed in the future?

 

[R69LKNASS]

@R18.com I noticed all your BDSM files and studios like ART-SM/SM-ART, BabyBlack, Cinemagic, etc. all disappeared. What happened? Are they coming back? Are they still available at an alternate location? Is western wokeness screwing around with you? I see a ton of files that disappeared across many different styles and genres.

 

[TheDuke07]

if by 'wokeness' you mean high strung conservatives that own the credit card processing companies than yes I assume that's the issue as usual

 

[Inertia]

Credit card companies want as much business as possible. They're only 'conservative' in that they don't want to be sued by "conservatives".

 

[DJwow]

The most prominent groups pushing companies like Mastercard to deny porn processing are basically fronts for anti-porn Evangelical groups that try to dress up their motive as preventing sexual exploitation, but they are just rebranding of prior (failed) efforts where they just focused on "porn = evil". The most telling thing is they usually only target porn sites, but ignore more mainstream sites where sexual exploitation is actually a much larger issue. Like Facebook.

Points announcement
Due to our administrative reasons, The option to charge points has been disabled. At the same time, 1% bonus points back when paying with credit card campaign has ended. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Credit Card processing issues
At this moment we can only process Visa and Mastercard credit cards as long this are not from USA, Korea or China. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This might be end times for the site.

They don't want bad press. In terms of porn there's likely pressure coming from both sides. A conservative anti-porn movement that views it as immoral and a progressive feminist anti-porn movement that views it as exploitative and as a reason there is real world sexual violence.

It's a lose, lose where you can't really "pick a side" even though a large majority of everyone probably doesn't care all that much. Easier to just deny the service completely.

That's not true at all you can read stories on how credit card companies & banks have banned sex workers and extreme politics in addition to the political leanings of those who run them.

 

[penguinbutt]

Other than the obvious current credit card issues which will most likely close down R18 since none of us can buy anything on the site anymore (there are too many alternative ways to obtain JAV, including FREE (illegally of course, but it happens, even on the site we are on now). R18 is basically making it harder (if not impossible) to customers who are willing to PAY R18 (me) for their content. This makes no sense, but whatevs...I will find my porn, one way or another, and I assume others will too.

The main issue with R18 for me is the complete lack of recommendations. Oh yes, I note the "if you like this title, you may like these", but 99% of the time, they are just titles of the same actress. I've never been recommended a title that I actually wanted even though I have an incredible library of purchased titles on R18. If I love slender, young actresses, when a new one comes up, put it in my recommended feed! That's all I ask! If I like kisses more than bukkake, don't recommend me bukkake titles, and send me all the new titles with cute girls kissing. It's not hard to figure out the recommendation portion of the site, but for years, there has been absolutely no improvement in this department. Shame.

Anyway, sorry of the rant, just disappointed having lost the entire Japan Idol industry (to western influences of course) and now will likely lose a good course of my JAV porn as well. Good luck...

@R18.com What are you doing? First, you remove the ability to use credit cards to pay, then you delete tons of content without warning or notice... now you remove the ability to charge the points system to pay. What is your business plan? You are making it impossible for huge numbers of customers to use your service? What's going on? You comment.... we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience... It's not an inconvenience. It's a total inability to use your site. for tons of customers the world over. FIX YOUR COMPANY.

Its funny, I'm trying the 90 day no fap challenge and going to these forum is a form of edging. Are you saying that r18 doesn't work any more for anything?

I can still play the files in my library... at least those I've tried. But as the situation is currently I'm screwed on new purchases. R18 says they can't process CC from the US, Korea, or China. That includes me... I've not been able to use a CC for many months so I used the points system. Then just today I see this...

Points announcement

They don't mention if it's a temporary situation or if it's permanent. Also, they don't offer any other options of payment. So as I couldn't use CC I'd change points via CC using PP and then use my points for purchases. I did that a few times in recent months. However, now that is not an option so I and everyone else in the US, Korea, and China are screwed and can't make new purchases of content. This and their recent deletion of tons of content on their site without warning or notice really sucks. In the past, if they were ending a license agreement with a studio they'd let you know and offer a sale on the brand so people could pick up stuff before the deadline. But not this time. This time it all just disappeared one day. I've been a loyal R18 customer for over five years and have a fair few files in my library but this current state of affairs now has it all up in the air.
