What goes on at a JAV Bee? When I first heard the name, I envisioned something a lot like a spelling bee. Contestants would rise to a podium on stage, where they’d test their knowledge of Asian porn idols, Japanese sexual fetishes, and the storied history of pixelated porn censorship. Of course, we haven’t quite reached the point in history where pornographic studies are held in as high regard as reading and writing, but we’re getting there.
Perhaps the JAV Bee I’m imagining is still a long way off, but you can start doing your homework for the competition today. JAVbee.org is a torrent site tracking some of the very best Japanese Adult Video the internet has to offer. They get about a million visitors a month, which should hopefully make for some well-seeded files, but there was only one way for me to be sure. With that in mind, I fired up my torrent client and lubed up my favorite onahole. Let’s see what there is to download…
A JAV Bee Buzzing Around Your Dick
When I initially pulled up the front page of JAVbee, my first impression was that it was a blog. They’re running on the WordPress platform, which I’ve mentioned a time or ten over at PornWebmasters. It’s one of the easiest ways to build a website, even without a bunch of nerdy knowhow. The platform isn’t quite right for a free tube, but I’ve seen it implemented very well for a variety of porn download blogs.
Technically, JAVbee is a porn download blog, though the videos aren’t stored on file locker services like you usually find elsewhere. Those sites can be convenient as hell, but the file-hosting situation means you’ll be waiting hours or even days for your downloads, with all kinds of limits imposed for free users. Raise your hand if you’ve ever gotten blue balls waiting for sites like Keep2Share, both for the dialup-era download speeds and all those mandatory wait times.
Right away, the torrent fans out there can see the benefits of a setup like this. The biggest catch is that it requires a slightly higher tech level than those other download blogs I mentioned. If you’re not familiar with how torrents work, check out my review of uTorrent here at ThePornDude. I’ve also got a lot of general information written up on my list of Porn Torrent Sites. It ain’t quite as simple as clicking a Download button, since you’ve got to install a separate piece of software, but I’ve got faith in you, buddy!
There is one other catch with torrents, though: they’re hard to download, sometimes impossible, if nobody else is interested in the file. Remember when I mentioned JAVbee.org getting a million visitors a month? Those digits don’t matter with a traditional porn download blog, but with torrents, more users mean you get the files faster. That healthy userbase should hopefully translate into healthy torrents, though it’s still going to depend on which videos we’re talking about. Unpopular vids may still take a long time to get, but the hits should be a cinch to download.
I’m not going to walk you through the whole process of installing and operating a BitTorrent client, but for the purpose of this JAV Bee review, I’m using the web version of uTorrent. These things have gotten easier and easier to use over the years, and I think this version of uTorrent may be the most user-friendly one I’ve ever used.
I Hope You’ve Got a Big Hard Drive
If you’ve got your torrent client set up and ready to rock, the next step is to find something on JAVbee that you want to download. I wasn’t sure what I was in the mood for, so I first made my way to the New section to check out the freshest material. JAVbee.org adds dozens of new torrents to the pile every day. I’m whipping up this review at lunchtime on a Wednesday and they’ve already added almost thirty new torrents. That includes videos with 18+ schoolgirls, horny office ladies, group sex, and some wild BDSM where a chick gets tortured with a Hitachi Magic Wand.
JAV Bee has been around since 2020, so they’ve managed to index a hell of a lot of JAV torrents. To date, they’ve got nearly 100,000 Asian porn torrents listed. That doesn’t necessarily mean you can download 100,000 pornos, because you still need people seeding those files in order to get them. It ain’t uncommon for the older torrents on a site to have very few seeds or none at all, so your mileage may vary.
I tried hitting the Random button next, which brought up a smorgasbord of dirty movies in all kinds of kinky subgenres. Japanese porn is known for being some of the freakiest in the world, in the best way possible, and that’s on full display here. JAVbee.org has torrents in all kinds of Japanese porn niches and scenarios. My first Random selection included fit babes with abs, sexy superheroes, titty-licking lesbians and 50-year-old Japanese grannies fucking on video.
I do wish JAV Bee’s torrents were organized a bit better, though. Tagging is pretty weak, and most of the files on JAVbee seem to be listed with their Japanese titles only. That’s going to make it hard to search the collection to find your preferred fetishes, sex acts and setups. What’s worse, the JAVbee.org Tags page just wouldn’t load at all during my visit. Even with lackluster tagging, the Tags index would be the go-to spot for JAV fans in search of a little special something to spend the evening with. I’m not sure what the problem was, but hopefully this is just a temporary glitch that’ll be fixed by the time you read this.
Find a Screenshot, Download a Movie
Since the tagging is weak, the titles are in Japanese and the Tags page wouldn’t load, most of the English-speakers in the audience are going to be browsing JAVbee.org by the pictures. Fortunately, they do include screenshots for all the listed torrents. I had to fuck with my adblocker settings to get them to load properly, but hey, it’s still a lot cheaper than signing up for a premium JAV site. (Although if you’re willing to pay for the convenience, I’ve got a couple dozen sites ranked and reviewed on my big list of Premium Asian Porn Sites here at ThePornDude.)
Making my way to JAVbee.org’s Popular section, I found a really cute babe near the top of the page with eyes almost as big as an anime girl. The title is in Japanese except for the product number, and while I could have translated it with Google, the screenshot was enough to get me going. It looks to be a babe getting picked up on the street, taken to a hotel for an interview, and then thoroughly pleasured.
I clicked the torrent link, firing up uTorrent in the process. It’s a healthy torrent, with 80 peers and 11 seeds counted up in the initial seconds after clicking. It’s a two-gig file, but with so many other people sharing the file, the countdown timer said I’d only be waiting half an hour. If you’ve ever tried one of those download blogs I mentioned earlier, you can see the massive difference. If I was trying to download this movie from a file locker, it could easily take all day.
The better BitTorrent clients nowadays can even stream a video if there are enough peers. This one didn’t have quite enough, unfortunately. While I’m sort of able to stream it, the video is pausing to buffer every few seconds. Personally, I’d rather just wait for the file to download. If you’re in a hurry, though, you could just choose a JAVbee offering with more seeds. Too bad they don’t let you reshuffle the pile by number of seeders, a likely consequence of using WordPress as their platform of choice.
JAVbee.org has some minor issues with their setup, the biggest being the lackluster tagging and the fact that I just couldn’t get the Tags page to load. This could be a dealbreaker for a lot of JAV fans simply because it makes the site harder to search than it would be otherwise. Still, it ain’t hard to see why they’re pulling a million visitors a month. They’re tracking some excellent Japanese Adult Video that can be difficult or even impossible to find through free tubes or other sources. Torrent downloads are faster and more convenient than blogs storing their flicks on file locker sites, so you’re only a few clicks away from filling up your hard drive.
