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 fifteen (15) 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 fifteen (15) articles*, create an account, and access another fifteen (15) before hitting the paywall.
*subject to change based on continued observation and testing.
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.

i left a site because it did not have enough pantyhose sex content. Are you looking to expand into this area?
Finally, i do enjoy SOD videos. Please keep up the good work.
Please login with the first account and if you wish to see more blog content, you may do as the post above notes (subscribe, make a purchase (including simply funding the bare minimum to your site wallet), or simply leaving a comment though the latter only resets the limit while the former two give unlimited access for certain periods of time.
Update: there may be an issue with some older accounts being hit with the over-limit message right away. We're looking into it and it should be resolved by the weekend. It was not intentional to hit any account immediately with an over-limit message so our apologies about that.
However, we have exception rules in place for certain posts like this one that can still be viewed in full by users even when reaching the limit. I just tested that as well with an over-limit test account and this post displays in full while other pages show the over limit message.
If you hit the limit again and somehow cannot see this post, please contact us and we can look into it further.
After all, as for the cheapest way to get unlimited blog viewing, all one needs to do is fund the minimum amount to one's site wallet: $3 USD.
It probably (and so far) has zero negative effect on traffic and ranking most likely due to the limits being pretty generous. Like all sites that make use of metered paywalls, we are observing the 'stop' rate and ensuring it stays quite low (around 5% or so). In other words, very casual users--the majority of blog users--will see zero changes. Only the users who visit multiple times a month and are consuming a multiple articles each visit may be blocked until they subscribe/buy/comment.
P.S. Long time follower here, but this is my first real comment on the blog. XD
But as noted, users who are unable to support financially can just write decent comments as anytime a comment is approved, the limit is reset. Hence our metered paywall is a bit more lenient if a user wishes to volunteer a few minutes of their time instead of their wallets.
