Tour de Chance
In very simple terms, we can exaplain our lives this way: They're weird. That said, some people honestly enjoy hanging out with such folks as ourselves, and as near as we understand it, not everyone has a job that requires them to hang out with beautiful naked women all the time, so that little facet of our existence seems to add to the enjoyment level around here too.
This page seems a little odd perhaps. If you look at the quick list below, maybe that will help us explain. You see, because of the extraordinary nature of the people with whom we associate, quite often some very talented people will wander by and offer to put some of their skills to our particular uses. We're not sure who invented the summer intern concept, but we definitely owe that person a beer. Consequently, although WHAT we talk about in the members' area has a certain degree of rudimentary consistency, the HOW we talk about it can vary widely. We don't mind this really, as sex business embraces nothing if not diversity.

Although you may not spend much of your time reading our unmistakably keen insights, we need to confess that on the rare occasion our particular humorous look at life comes into play in the photographs and video clips as well. We want you to know that you can simply skip those too if you want. Or feel free to groan aloud. That's what happens in the office. Just remember we did mention at the beginning of this section that this page may seem a little odd — although admittedly the "perhaps" probably rated as an unnecessary addition. On the upside, if you join us in the members' area, you'll get used to that in no time.
And depending upon where you heard about a risqué business and risque.com in the first place, you may have heard rumor that we shamelessly deploy multiple variations of the flying Elvis on occasion. Well, we want to state for the record (and incontrovertibly, even) that … sometimes rumors turn out to be true. This can be either annoying or entertaining, depending upon your point of view.
Risqué New and Old
As we may have mentioned by now (depending on what order you might be reading this), we all had a most difficult time trying to describe exactly what the Risqué Commune really "are" and how they've shape-shifted over the years. Basically this umbrella site exists as an ADULT DIARY of life in the XXX world. As you might (or might not) expect, this involves a lot of simple life activities, and we work hard to show those aspects too. We decided it might be easiest to just give you a few examples, but while you're looking at them, imagine how confusing it must be to actually be around here. If you join you'll have to spend some time on the Message Board. What a group.
Obviously when we used this little toy on the Membership Side of the site, we used a different type of picture underneath, but you get the point: Puppies for anyone; naked ladies for adults.
Now we also make an effort to show off some of the amazing talents of some of our friends. For example, Nikita made the following art pieces, and we should point out now what we said originally: 1. She used only MSPaint to make them, and 2. Even more amazing in our opinion, she did all of the pieces using only a Trackball, and not a mouse or a tablet. ... And if you're old enough to remember when trackballs were all the rage, you're going to like this site a lot, by the way.

a Risqué Elaboration
For People that Like Numbers
If you've read all the way through the New Stuff indices and you still don't know what we're about, well, we're not sure what else we can say. Of course simply not knowing what to say almost never keeps us from saying anything, so we'll elaborate. Consequently we thought we'd talk some numbers here. We like numbers. And we like math. These two facts rest far from the most unusual facts about us, however.
As of this writing in mid 2009, we have posted just a tad over15,000 PAGES on risque.com and the associated web sites of the stars. We were curious, so we looked up a little "perspective" to add here: According to Amazon, the Encyclopedia Britannica contains about 32,000 pages. Gee. We have half an alphabet to go. Excellent. Of course we have around 2,000 video clips and over 175,000 images, and we're sure the mere encyclopedia set can't match that. So we win, right?
Upon reviewing our initial draft of this new tour, though, the internal editors here did complain that while we do a fine job of talking about all the fun we have here, we really don't talk about the WOMEN very much. Oops. So we made a different type of collage to remind folks that we do in fact have a primary focus — and we enjoy it a whole lot too.
For People that Like Security
That said, we'll take a quick moment on this particular topic.
We Pluribus Unum
Well, you're still reading and that's always good. If you haven't noticed yet, we tend to have a lot of words in our venture. As we've mentioned, and we continually remind our friends in the industry when they wonder about our unusual approach, "There are a whole lot of typical adult sites on the web, but there's a whole lot more to life than porno." … Yeah, we're really radical.
Just to show that we don't play favorites in our unabashed lack of chagrin in our enjoyment of life, we wanted to give one quick example of some of the fine video work we've shared over the years. Now this was recorded a very long time ago, so the technical quality in no way compares to our current offerings. Also the video we use now does have a vast slant toward being definitely outside of our "Mother of a Ten-Year-Old" standard, so we couldn't show much of it out here anyway.
We'll tell you that D.Minion took this little clip at one of the Members' Parties we've thrown. You can see Dee's hands working to operate the fine device that became our official mascot, and we actually received it as a gift from Maverick, then a UK member that attended and now works with us. Rather randomly put together in various locations throughout the world, "Members' Parties" offer people a chance to hang out with us in very small groups for a few days. Some of them even recover after sufficient therapy we hear, so that's good.
In closing this section, we'll pay tribute to "Mr. E. Member" who happened to be one of the first folks to ever figure out that we're pretty much regular folks with atypical jobs around here. We're always happy to include people (or art, or editorials, or whatever) that people want to send along. They don't have to be particularly fancy, or even practical, as you can see from the fine piece of graphic art below. Let's face it, with our approach to the web (and life in general), we can hardly afford to be very judgmental.
Truth is A LOT stranger than fiction. We enjoy that.
The Collage Condition
Based on the vast number of people in XXX we've run across over the years, we've come to the conclusion that we pretty much defy description. Now some of those people have a rather more colorful and substantially less complimentary way of expressing this opinion, but that pretty much sums it up (for better, not worse).
