if I check http://www.goldenpassions.com/ I see a lot of spacing issues and some nonsensical elements, but if you go to http://www.goldenpassions.com/tour/2/ it looks better.

First of all, if you have to make an effort to read something... well, take it out. I mean that snippet of text with lots of blank space at the sides and that graph which I don't even understand how is it related to the design

Color palette and background are very good for the niche, with automatic reference to what the surfer may expect

I'd take off the interstitial banner and replace it with text and make the download movie button way smaller (and actually leading to a movie download) while adding a "join now" button. If people wants to join, they will click that. If they don't, they won't. If they are unsure and just want to preview the stuff and you lead them to the join page, you may piss them off (no pun intended)

Either way, I'd fill that blank space where the "download movie" button is, either by adding another button as I said, either by making the button bigger. To the very least, I'd vertical align to the middle. Oh, and keep the episodes uniform, not like they are right now, some with 10 thumbs and some with 6. (and btw, when you add 10 thumbs, the episode bg looks fucked up)

Other than the issues mentioned above, I really like the episode holder

and finally, the bottom section. I'm still trying to decide what is that about, what do you mean to do with that and why is it there. To the very least, you have 3 elements that add nothing but noise, and to make it worse, extremely bulky. I'd simply kill the "Join Now" banner, the "show me more pissing videos" bar and that huge red thing and leave only the 3 buttons at the bottom, only that I'd replace "Free Tour" (tours ARE FREE and they're already seeing it, doh) with "next page" or "see more" or something like that.

In short, the tour is decent, it has serious layout problems but they're easy to solve. btw, check the html, it has some errors that could lead to other problems, including the tracking script not working
