Officially launching on the first day of the Adult Entertainment Expo, TLARaw.com boasts more than 10,000 straight titles, including the complete libraries of several major studios, video-on-demand content and boxed sets from the likes of Wicked and Devils Film.
The site is the online extension of the company’s popular TLA Video catalog, launched in 2004 and published five times a year. The catalog’s name has been changed to mirror the new Raw brand, which marks TLA’s biggest push into the straight adult industry.
“The catalogs proved so successful that we wanted to create a place on the web where our customers could feel right at home, surrounded by all things skin,” Managing Editor Vanessa Keegan said. “Our old site at TLAVideo.com had just a bit too much respectability for them. We wanted our own place full of skin and sex and no shame.”
Four separate areas make up the new site. The Non-Adult DVD section offers hundreds of films that push the envelope on an R-rating, including a large international film section, “Celebrity Skin,” Hollywood epics and cult classics. There, consumers can buy everything from a 1970s Japanese exploitation film to the Stallone/Carradine classic “Death Race 2000.”
The VOD section of the site features dozens of studios, most of which offer content in three different streaming options. Users can either pay-per-minute, with prices starting at $.08 per minute, stream the full film for seven days for around $10, or download the film for 30-day access starting at around $13.
The adult DVD section of the site offers an extensive selection of films, including special interest sections like “Anal,” “Legal Teens,” “Anime” and “Gonzo,” as well as general interest sections like “Boxed Sets” and “Latest Releases.”
The fourth and final section of the site, Novelties, is just that, offering a toy chest of hundreds of brand name and generic items such as Tera Patrick's “Futurotic Stroker Bonanza” and Jessica Drake’s “Talking Love Doll.”
