I have pondered this post for several days as my renewal date is coming. This seemed the best sub-board, but, overall posting activity is pretty limited - meaning this is primarily directed toward management. It is time to make a decision about renewal.
I found about Abby Winters probably in 2003 -4, but had not purchased anything until this year. The subscription policy was not conducive. Even now that you have a more typical subscription routine, this site is significantly more expensive than typical porn sites.
So begin with, why did I want to see AW. "Naturally Delicious" pretty well says it. I want unadorned women engaged in sex which appears enrichingly fun and not a performance or an athletic display. Pubic hair is much preferred with a minimum of ink, metal and obvious makeup.
AW does deliver more of this than any other site I ever joined.
I have looked at some 50% of your archived material as well as all the 2017 material. What is evolving is the typical for most sites - the material is very repetitive. Many times I have called up a shoot and felt totally deja vu even though that particular one had not been viewed yet.
The great majority of shoots/vids are of 20-30 year old women gamboling about in adolescent clothing wearing pre-adolescent finger nail polish. So very much of the images are of tugging on clothes and not really about the model and certainly not sexual action. yes, undressing can be arousing, but not for half the production time.
Girl-girl scenes are difficult to film because the genitalia are so easily obscured by heads, hands, legs, etc. Unfortunately, in your boy-girl scenes, the selected angles also keep the penetration and such out of sight. In the end, flesh bumping up on flesh comes across as soft core.
Your boy-girl scenes are often significantly better than the standard porno fare, especially the fellatio, but just lose interest as they lapse into watching mid to long range shots of just body profiles and no pornography.
This is not at all to declare that erotic imagery is of no value unless something is visibly penetrating something. It is to suggest that the mix is not well balanced.
So, the thesis is that of retaining the interest of mature male heterosexuals, who constitute the majority of pornography shoppers. Only you know how the cash flow is flowing. Judging from the activity on the Discussion Boards, interest in the site is slipping. (And, perhaps the real money is in the cam portion - something which holds no personal interest.) If you want to claim and retain a sustaining audience, you need to do a self assessment and look for more creativity and variety.
Consider your competition. Online porn is cheaper and cheaper. A putative explanation is that they too suffer from doldrums and audience drifts away, requiring discounting to keep it or to entice replacement. Just plopping another female on the conveyor belt eventually ceases to stimulate or inspire. You have had a vision which is distinctly different and offers a refreshing change from the Hustler/Brazzers/PornHub ilk. But the very aspiration of distinction is also a continuing challenge to remain exhilarating. I very much want a reason to remain a patron, but, the money has to buy something more than another helping of the same dish.
