abbywinters.com (or simply Abby Winters) is a pornographic paysite largely revolving around nude modelling pictorials and lesbian and solo sex acts by female models. It claims all-female shooting crews[1][2] and is part of the "natural", reality-based porn market. The site was launched in the year 2000[3] and has since been split into three "mini-sites" known as 'Solo', 'Girl-Girl', and 'Intimate Moments' (masturbation).
Abby Winters originated as an Australian site with Australian participants and employees. It is now based in Amsterdam and intermixes its extensive Australian material with new material shot since its move. In addition to pictures and videos of erotic modeling and sex acts, the site also features a range of both scripted and unscripted content.
The site is noted for its mix of professional and amateur models, most of whom had never previously worked in erotic modelling.[3][4] Material is typically captured with high-quality high-definition video and photography, together with somewhat atypical "signature" capture angles, and has no models with surgically enhanced breasts.[3][4][5] Models wear very little make-up[3][5] and many have a full patch of pubic hair.[4] In addition, the website claims that its photos are not retouched in any way (other than basic colour balancing).[6]
In January 2008, abbywinters.com had about 30,000 subscribers.[5][7] Despite its history as an Australian website, 65% of Abby Winters subscribers are in the United States.[4]
In 2010, responding to a changing political climate in the Australian government on the question of pornography's acceptability in the country, the company's offices were moved to the Netherlands. Prior to that relocation, the site's web servers had already been based in the Netherlands and the United States for quite some time.[1]
