“Body Parts” Has Close-Ups Worth Getting Close To

Anybody can take a detailed, high definition picture of a bushy vagina and call it close-up porn, but it takes a real photographer's eye to make that anatomy pop with life and lust. The accurately-named Body Parts is all about that second category of smut, and I'm pretty damn smitten with it.

And frankly, I might be smitten with the site's manager and main photographer, Frannie Adams (sorry to be a creep, Frannie). It's been a long time since I've seen a paysite that's so sensibly laid out, containing consistently high quality material in a bunch of different formats, all featuring models who look genuinely happy to have cameras in their crevices. I don't know how she has the time to post seven movies and nine galleries every week, but she does, and I am stoked about it.

As always, the paysite requires you to pay it ($19.95/30 days), and my enthusiasm isn't a selling point. Let's get to the smut, shall we?

Photos: The pictures are divided into four sections: softcore, hardcore, amateur, and a miscellaneous group simply called "Body Parts." The latter two sections are organized in sets of twenty, and seem to be a random smattering of amateur babes and close-up shots, respectively. Browsing through either of them feels a little like clicking through someone's Tumblr, but it's definitely a well-curated Tumblr.

The other two sections both feature pages and pages of sets chronologically ordered and titled by the name of the model. Although I would've liked the option to organize the galleries by popularity or other criteria, I'm not bothered by the layout at all. Each link comes with a quick description of the acts depicted in the set, and if I want to see more of the model, there's a handy tab at the top of the page as well as a link to the model's bio in every gallery.

As for content, well, I don't know where to begin! The close-ups aren't just genital-centric, you also get tongues, lips, eyes, cheeks (both kinds), nipples, legs, backs, and even ears. The hardcore content includes intercourse, oral, anal, fingering, cumshots, creampies, panty pops, and there are surprises in every gallery. Are you looking for pregnant models? Hairy girls? Shaved ones? Gaping? Lesbians? Sleeping beauties? Body paint? Tattoos and piercings? It's all here, in every skin tone, on a wide age spectrum, too. I've even spied a pornstar or two (like Marie McCray) hanging out in the galleries!

The wide variety of smut is intriguing, but the real gold here is how comfortable and happy all of the models look. Believe me, I tried to find someone having a bad time, and I did not succeed. Why is this? Does that mean I'm bad at finding frowns? (I'm great at finding frowns, thank you.) It's because Frannie Adams knows that the best close-up photos make you feel close to the subjects; when you download a zip file full of pussy shots, you're not being a voyeur so much as you're being invited into the model's private, comfortable space.

Also, not to be shallow, but we should note that no matter how detailed the photos are, you're never subjected to any model's gaping pores of razor burn. We all know that everyone is beautiful in his or her own special way, but we also all know that high definition cameras can mangle said beauty.

Videos: Body Parts has softcore, hardcore, and amateur videos available in multiple downloadable formats (even for your mobile device) as well as streaming. While the videos essentially consist of the the same smut as in the photos, they sometimes feel a little more impersonal. Many of the clips start in medias res without any foreplay or talking, and we never get to find out who the male models are.

Still, having watched hundreds of amateur pornographers bang their loved ones without ever pointing the camera away from their genitals, I can honestly say that these videos are a breath of fresh air, and they aren't 100% close-up either.

Which video is my personal favorite? It's hard to say, but right now, my favorite moment is when Angelica lets her man come against her ass crack and she moans as it drips over her.

Other Awesome, Somewhat Unclassifiable Stuff: The extras are all about Frannie. She keeps a blog in which she discusses various photoshoots on Body Parts, and she also reviews her favorite porn sites (both paysites and freebies), DVDs, and erotic books. It's nice—and somewhat rare—to hear the photographer's thoughts about her own work as well as the stuff her peers put out. Plus, she features jokes like these:

Q. What's the difference between pussy and mashed potatoes?
A. Pussy makes its own gravy!
Q. What's the difference between pussy and parsley?
A. No one eats parsley!

Adorable.

I'm not saying Body Parts is perfect—sometimes it's a little confusing to navigate, I'd ideally like to see a tag system, and there's a section consisting of nothing but tacky banners linking to other close-up porn sites—but I deeply enjoyed the time I spent there. I thought I was walking into someone's private collection of random anatomical studies, but I was absolutely wrong! Frannie has had a camera in her hands since she was a kid, she's been around naturist resorts her whole life, and the things she delivers on this website represent a serious passion for photography and the female form.

And if you don't care about that stuff and you just need to some fap material, consider this: $20 gets you 28 movies and 36 galleries a month, not to mention access to a huge archive, so I highly doubt you'll need to look elsewhere you get your jollies.
