Right now you might be thinking just as I did, that this is some Asian site. I thought so at first because of the name, it just sounded asian/eastern to me but of course it turned out that this is dead wrong. Domai is an acronym that stands for: Dirty Old Men's Association International. Immediately you should now be thinking of big stinking guys with untrimmed beards drinking beer out of their own wooden shoes. However this name is a bit misleading to me because this site is as it says on the page, just about beautiful women in tasteful/artistic nude shoots.
I would call this site soft porn, and although the founder of the site states in an interview that this isn't soft porn, it's an entity onto itself, I will still categorize it as soft core (sorry).
This site really isn't hard to review, I could have written 20 lines about this site and I would still have covered it pretty well. The trick is find a category this site will fit into, anyways I'll do that later on first you get:
What's in here? - Approx. 160 photo shoots give or take. It's not 160 models because I saw some of them in several shoots. How many different models is hard to say, maybe this info will follow.
- A collection of art pictures, hand drawn most of them and still in the erotica category
- There are also some articles, story about the site and in general a lot of ways to communicate opinions.
Domain is really more of a society and a way of life it appears than it is porn. Of course they have some extremely beautiful women here in very creative shoots, but it's all part of a grand life philosophy (sound weird doesn't it?). Well I was surfing around a bit and on the site I found the Domai pledge, this would give you some idea of what I mean:
The Domai Pledge I hereby promise: 1. Never to my willful knowledge let a beautiful girl pass without enjoying the sight. 2. Never to speak slightingly of or underestimate the importance of beauty and grace, and always support it in conversation when needed. 3. To keep beauty near my heart and always be aware that it is what is keeping us happy and content, and much of what makes life worth living. 4. Never to let merely intellectual pursuits, important as they may be, distract me for any undue length of time. 5. To keep in mind that beauty is a spiritual thing, no more and no less. 6. To always keep a pure mind when seeing beauty, or, failing that, at least take pleasure thinking what I am thinking. 7. To remember that seeing is the only form of having that is actual. Thus, what you can see you can have. The reason for possessing anything is to prevent others from having it too, a pointless exercise. 8. To not be bothered when they go away. There will always be more. 9. To enjoy life and what it has given me, and in return to support life and be constructive. - Eolake Stobblehouse
Indeed words to live by ;)
The quality of the pictures are of course of high quality, razor sharp and the shots are certainly different from what you might have come to expect from other nude sites. The best resembles I can think of is to bluenudes.net. There is the whole art feeling to both sites.
I was not able to find out how frequent this site is updated, but perhaps the Webmaster will fill in this information later.
In short, this is a site that admires the beauty of women, and the pictures are phenomenal, but if you think you are going to look at masturbating women or anything like that you are dead wrong. Keyword here is tasteful in my opinion.
Recurring options: US$ 14.95 per month. US$ 24.95 per three months.
Non-recurring options: US$ 34.95 for three months. US$ 89.95 for twelve months.
Conclusion: The price is very fair for this site, that is like 16 photo shoots per dollar, good deal. This site IS different and the product it supplies is certainly different from the other sites we review here. If you are into what I would call artistic photography of women this is a great site, for you guys I recommend it.
