I agree with Paul.

It's a good looking site, Dave - but ultimately the clips you're using are missing the boat entirely and are losing you sales. I bet your bounce rate is huge ... larger than most tubes IMHO.

A few points:

Viewing a 1 minute clip with virtually no action after seeing 19:57 min is a complete bait and switch. Even with feeder traffic you're conversions should be better.
Your Anal, Blowjob and Hardcore sections have ALL the same thumbnails for the first 5 clips. Most surfers clicking around will see that immediately and bail.
You're getting the surfer to choose what he wants to see (filtering by niche) but NOT giving him what you say you will regarding both the length of the clips and by a complete lack of action in them. By showing JUST an introduction and NOT SHOWING action related to the niche - it kills continuity and flow - and reduces book markers. If a surfer clicks on a blowjob clip and a chick isn't giving one (as an example) why would most stay, come back or join? It's so easy to find what they want elsewhere. Food for thought!
I know you're going for a non-tube/tube paysite model and you're not trying to compete with Pornhub and take them over on Alexa BUT if you don't incorporate the common sense reasons tubes WORK - you're wasting time/resources/$$$.
You have the ability to make this work. Don't be stubborn. If you're going to do a tube. DO A TUBE and highly push the call to action to JOIN YOUR SITE as well ... and PLEASE ... use the simple methods proven to work with other successful tubes!!!

There's more I'm sure I could point out - but that's literally after looking at the site for less than 2 minutes.

Good luck!

EDIT ... I'm not saying use full length clips, btw ... just don't say 20 mins and give them one. Also, you can/should do 2-3 mins as well .. mix them in!!!
