The Future of The ZENRA JAV Blog...

Thank you all for continuing to regularly visit our blog, the only English language resource reporting not only on JAV news and gossip, but providing daily unique pieces that cover everything from detailed sales reports to performer retrospectives and analyses, new movie reviews, field reports, and more. If it’s JAV, we have covered it, are covering it...and WILL keep on covering it.
However, after five years of being an entirely free entity with zero ads and only minimal upsells to our paysite, due to economic conditions we now have three choices to decide from:
- 1. Start reducing article output or possibly letting writers go. Our blog like the paysite is 100% human content by real people being paid to consistently put out quality work. We DO NOT use AI.
- 2. Litter the site with totally invasive ads from piracy-supporting ad networks for sites, goods, and services 99% of our user base (rightly) has no interest in.
- 3. Paywall.
We are going with the third option, but it will be a METERED paywall. To put it simply, users not logged in can access seven (7) articles each month as can logged in users who have no active subscriptions and/or have not made any purchases within the past 30 days. In other words, a “new” user can access seven (7) articles, create an account, and access another seven (7) before hitting the paywall.
If you love our work and truly—really, truly—can’t afford to support us financially, we got you covered: simply write thoughtful comments as each time a comment is approved, the limit resets.
The blog thus will remain online and the output will remain unchanged. However, unless you truly are in a bad financial situation, if you are a fan of JAV and make use of JAV often (such as visiting our blog multiple times a month), then your periodic financial support now more than ever would be very much appreciated.
And I will conclude this post by answering probably the most common question those may already be itching to type in the comment box:
“OK, I love JAV, but the ZENRA paysite doesn’t have my favorite studios and actresses so what’s the point?”
My answer:
“You can still support by (preferred) keeping a subscription active or (less preferred but still generous) simply periodically buying content—any content. For example, if you are a fan of Suzu Honjo and/or other SOD Star performers like Rei Kamiki, buying any of our Soft on Demand updates means the studio still gets paid.”
If there are any more questions, concerns, criticisms, etc., please feel free to let us know in the comment box below.
