Pros:
Beyond all complaints about the way Mind Geek has directed Twistys – it is still one of the best sites available if you’re into beautiful women.
Downloads cost $15 more added to subscription price. It’s a pro to me. The download quality and quality of the content is as high as you’re going to find in softcore, lesbian content.
The picture sets are good enough to download in zips.
The Treat of the Month is a staple in porn and a fitting homage to old porn magazines.
Unquestionably one of the easiest and smoothest sites to navigate.
It is still updating.
Cons:
Besides taking downloads away, Mind Geek, has changed the focus from some male-female hardcore to none.
Potentially repetitive in the same ways old porn magazines were repetitive. I’m just not for sure if it’s fair to call beautiful nude women – repetitive.
Bottom Line:
Twistys was on my favorites list for nearly 10 years. After they were sold to Mind Geek, I tried to stay away from joining. I was able to justify not joining based on my negative feelings (and warranted) towards Mind Geek.
I do believe time heals nearly everything and it is how I am looking at my recent join of Twistys. The Treat of the Month is one of the best features on any porn site. It is similar to Playboy’s Playmate of the Month and Penthouse’s Pet of the Month. A model is picked as Treat of the Month, then she gets multiple picture sets and videos to show why she was picked as Treat of the Month. This feature alone is enough reason to still join Twistys.
Then there are the beautiful women and 20 years of them! Twistys is one of the only porn sites I would call a “Gentleman’s site”. The women are often wearing too much makeup and the clothing choices often are slutty looking, but you can’t deny the attractiveness of these models.
Once you pay the extra $15 for downloads, you receive access to download and own one of the best porn collections available.
Twistys Network is marketed and sold as a network, but that’s mostly a marketing ploy. There is a theme to this review. Yes, Mind Geek charges for downloads and took away most of the character Twistys had as a site, but the beautiful women are still there. My happiness and even giddiness of seeing new Treats offset the bad feelings of paying extra for downloads. The quality of the videos is excellent and it’s one of those sites that caters to photography fans with professional studio quality photo sets. The downloads feel worth $15. I just don’t know why Mind Geek doesn’t offer a membership with downloads. I had to join the site then add downloads after signing in.
The updates are still coming, but not at the pace we used to get from Twistys. I see that as offset by the overall quality of models and the content they are presented in. You’re not going to find many porn sites that make this type of porn.
It’s one of the few sites that doesn’t rely on a niche to make their content hot. Their models do that. You need more kinkiness? Just look at the bodies of those models. You should be having kinky thoughts about what you want to do to them. I believe this type of porn should be marketed as primer porn or shallow porn (like all porn isn’t shallow). This type of porn does want you to use your imagination and own creativity to create your own fantasies for each model. That may be a difficult sell in 2023.
The site also acts a history lesson in porn. You can see the different phases porn has been through over the last 20+ years. It is not all only solo, there is a lot of lesbian content too, but the solo content is why I join Twistys. It is still a veritable treasure trove of incredible looking models, but you may have to do like me and offset some of the “bad” Mind Geek has brought to Twistys to justify being a member.
There are over 5,000 combined videos and photo sets for your downloading pleasure. I doubt I will let it recur for another month, but do find the one month membership upgraded to include downloads to be a very good buy.

Pros:
- Launched in 2011. All female action featuring mostly A-Lister talent (there were some short career girls in the back catalog. Some one and dones)
- Decent picture galleries. Normal progression strip then action. I will say the model positioning is better than most. Unlike other sites where several out-of-focus pictures are sprinkled in. Here everyone is a winner
- High-quality video. It's gotta be 1080 at least cause it looks amazing on my old monitor (no 4K for me)
- Some top scenes to look out for: Spencer Bradley, Liv Revamped, Skye Blue, Molly Stewart, Lauren Phillips with Lisey Sweet (I normally don't care for food play but these two were AMAZING together)
- fun silly vibe it seems like the talent all got along and were just being playful and enjoying
- hot dialog. I'm a fan of dirty talk so this put a big plus down when I noticed that
- Tags available
- Good descriptions of each shoot
- Streaming player has advanced controls (skip 10sor 30s, volume, full-screen toggle)
Cons:
PRO cont:
- like/dislike, favorite, watch later allow for flexible scene sorting.
- short plots than straight to the action. There's novelty and for sure a fun vibe that is apparent at every turn
- Professional production the action is always well staged and the direction is good. Staging, costumes and directing are always good. You can tell that they don't cheap out on details.
Good back log at just under 500 scenes
- update schedule about 1X/Week
CONS
- download will cost you extra (one fee gets you both .zip downloads of photo galleries and video shoots).
- ads behind the paywall. Heck, you have to click past an ad every time you log back in
- No previewing/trailer available. So you have to check out the pictures or skip through the video to see if it's your thing
- limited model diversity. Some ethnic diversity but not much. Most body types are straight from porn general casting. Tattoos are common (I think that can be hot but I know some are opinionated. Same thing with boobs)
Bottom Line:
While girl-girl isn't my go to most of the time I really liked this site. I appreciated the high production value. You can tell time and money was spent to make everything look beautiful. The talent is all top of the line. As girl-girl action goes I think this is solid and well done
Everything here is solid. So why not a A+ score (good question). If anything they could go with some more creativity. I'd like so see parody/"public"/Cuckoldress/etc. The site could be better with some series or something on-going.
- To be clear that is really knit picking. This sites is a home run and should be on anyone's buy list

Pros:
- Launched in 2016. MILF/younger girl hot action (heck some of the new talent from back then is about ready to shoot MILF - LOL)
- Decent picture galleries. Normal progression strip then action. I will say the model positioning is better than most. Unlike other sites where several out-of-focus pictures are sprinkled in. Here everyone is a winner
- High-quality video. It's gotta be 1080 at least cause it looks amazing on my old monitor (no 4K for me)
- Great MILF include (Ryan Keely, -you know I'm gonna say LAUREN PHILIPS, Krissy Lynn does well, along with Britney Amber, Mona Wales, and CHERIE DEVILLE). Young talent: Samantha Hayes and Jane Wild were particularly good
- many strap on scenes
- rougher play than I was expecting (in a good way)
- hot dialog. I'm a fan of dirty talk so this put a big plus down when I noticed that
- Tags available
- Good descriptions of each shoot
- Streaming player has advanced controls (skip 10sor 30s, volume, full-screen toggle)
Cons:
- like/dislike, favorite, watch later allow for flexible scene sorting.
- short plots than straight to the action
- Professional production the action is always well staged and the direction is good. No one gives a flat performance here (there's no chorus of "oh yea" for 5 minutes)
CONS
- download will cost you extra (one fee gets you both .zip downloads of photo galleries and video shoots).
- ads behind the paywall. Heck, you have to click past an ad every time you log back in.
- No previewing/trailer available. So you have to check out the pictures or skip through the video to see if it's your thing
- limited model diversity. Some ethnic diversity but not much
- only 127 scenes boy was I ever left wanting more
- last update was March 2019 so it's not something that can be blamed on Covid.
-
Bottom Line:
I REALLY wanted to give this site a higher score. I love the concept and in the whole network, these are some of the hottest shoots. But the simple fact is the lack of updates and the lack of back catalog hold them back too much. If I ever rejoined twistys.com it would be because of Momknowsbest.com
I'm a big fan of MILFS (I prefer women in my age category) So I was hopeful that this part of the network would shine. And it DOES. The talent is great (they tend to reuse the same models a few times, but I LIKE that. It gives a chance to see the talent in new situations - none of the scenes were dull or stale or seemed overly repetative.
I really appreciated the level of production you can tell that work went in and that people were enjoying themselves (always a plus when making porn and a huge turn off when you can see that they're not)
The bottom line is this: this site would easily be in the 90s if they were A) Still producing B) had a larger back catelog.
I'll throw one more line in about please stop with the pay extra for downloads. I'll accept it for 4K content (still don't like it but I can see how the increase in bandwidth/storgae would be an issue). But paying for downloads is terrible. I know there are ways around it - but I'm not looking to cheat anyone.
I don't know maybe I'm being a dinasour? After all I have more videos on my hard drive than I could watch in a lifetime. Maybe I need to see that porn has gone the way of mainstream movies.

Pros:
- Launched in 2004. Mostly focused on girl-girl action (some hardcore ff/m and m/f action but that's an exception, not the rule)
- Picture galleries really stand out. While most sites do them at twisty's they shine.
- High-quality video. It's gotta be 1080 at least cause it looks amazing on my old monitor (no 4K for me)
- as of September 3, 2021, 3519 scenes
- Amazing talent. All my favorite MYLFs are here (Lauren Philips, Brandi Love, Cherie DeVille, Britney Amber), along with lots of new stars (my sense is that many new girls start out with girl/girl shoots). I particularly liked finding: Scarlett Bloom, Kadence Marie, Molly Stewart (and while I'd seen here before ALEX COAL is fantastic)
- Tags available
- Good descriptions of each shoot
- Streaming player has advanced controls (skip 10sor 30s, volume, full-screen toggle)
- like/dislike, favorite, watch later allow for flexible scene sorting.
- short plots than straight to the action
- never a bad shoot Light/audio/drct. all good
Cons:
PROS CONT:
- diversity in casting (tattoos, age, ethnicity. Not body shape pretty much everyone is "porn star perfect"
- excellent search features the "filter" really helps narrow down what you're looking for.
- Updates come once a week
CONS
- download will cost you extra (one fee gets you both .zip downloads of photo galleries and video shoots).
- ads behind the paywall. Heck, you have to click past an ad every time you log back in.
- No previewing/trailer available. So you have to check out the pictures or skip through the video to see if it's your thing
- most models have boob jobs. I love all shapes and sizes but I know some have a real aversion to augmentation.
- cross-sales are everywhere. It would be nice if they threw the occasional shoot from one of those sites at you just to see if it was up your alley
Bottom Line:
I *hate* the way the industry is moving toward low prices to get in with streaming extra fees for downloads. I know it's fighting the tube sites and such but still, this old-timer doesn't like it one bit. I feel like I'm constantly being hit up for money.
I generally don't buy many girl/girl sites but this one exceeded my expectations. Normally these sites can be overly repetitive; not at twisty's they did a good job of keeping the action moving and different in each scene (that said focus here is on mainstream and
not kink porn).
I went in for a year membership (I figured with streaming-only I didn't want to be rushed in testing them out). While I'm not disappointed. I won't be re-upping either. My main motivation was wanting to check out Holly Randell's work. I've been listening to her podcasts and wanted to see it for myself (twisty's is also a sponsor of her podcast) so I guess advertising works)
I went with a B+ grade because they do everything well but are not killing it. I think there must be better all-girl stuff out there somewhere. I like that they have good organization and a deep catalog. But the big killers are not being able to download (I'm sure others know how to cheat that - but I'm not interested). Also holding them back is a general timidness. There's no character here. Other than all girl/girl what's the hook? (Maybe I'm jaded and that should be enough - fair enough)
Twisty's is above average in every way (booking/directing/production) I don't think I saw a bad shoot of anything in the last 2 years). That said there's nothing that's standout or exemplary either. They do very well. But they're not pushing themselves (and maybe they don't need to, to hit the target audience they're going for)
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
It's still here. There are new girl/girl scenes updated once a week, many with hot models like Gianna Dior, Eliza Ibarra, Vanna Bardot, Scarlit Scandal, Emily Willis, etc. The site currently shows 1,438 videos and 1,311 photo sets. Videos look good at 720 p. New photos download at 3265 X 1837.
Cons:
For whatever reason, Twisty's has been straight-out gutted in the past 13 months. TBP's December 2019 review refers to 8,638 videos and 18,350 photo sets. I'm sure that's accurate. Since that time, 7,200 videos and 17,049 photo sets have been removed from the site. Nicole Graves' site, which used to be part of Twisty's Network - gone. Nicole Graves herself, who was 1 of Twisty's most popular models has 1 scene on the site. Annete Dawn's site - gone. Blue Fantasies - gone. Euro Foxes has 4 scenes. Mom Knews Best - last updated March 2019. Amy Reid, who had many great scenes on the site - 0 content. Susanna Spears, who had many great scenes on the site - 0 content. Devon, who had a lot of great stuff on the site - 0 content. Etc, etc. If I had to guess, I would say that only the exclusive material is still here, and not much of that.
Bottom Line:
Twisty's used to be a special site before it was sold to Brazzers' parent company. They took a site that was one of several sites that just licensed material from various producers and made it special by a) producing increasing amounts of exclusive material and b) caring about the site and its members - with a forum & GREAT customer service. Now it's a site that's being gutted for who knows what reason with diminishing updates starting last month. Up to December 19, there were updates every 3-5 days, then the Christmas present was for updates to slow down to once a week. I have this site as an add-on that I got years ago, so I've got no reason to give it up, though it's sad how much material I no longer have access to. I can't give it lower than a 60 given that they are still updating with pretty hot babes, but be aware that if you are expecting the glory days of Twisty's, or even expecting the content from the glory days of Twisty's to still be here, you're very likely to find yourself terribly disappointed.

Pros:
- Not only one of the first sites/networks I ever joined, but was at one time, my favorite.
- Enough content to keep anyone busy, easily one of the largest sites on the internet.
- The models. Especially if you like glam models.
- Once easy to use navigation is now more complicated by the "network" concept, but it's still usable and works well once you figure it out.
- Download speeds are average.
Cons:
- Joining and canceling is typical MindGeek nonsense. They moved pre-checked sales lower down the screen and replaced them with what you're paying today, so it takes a scroll to see the pre-checked ones. Canceling doesn't send a receipt email.
- Those "average" download speeds have dropped as low as 50% below my average at times, but have also been as high as 50% higher than my average at other times.
- The site/network no longer has any character or uniqueness to it, something it used to be known for.
- Costs extra to download
Bottom Line:
There was a time when I would join Twistys for one year and be completely satisfied with it. I joined this time on 4/29/2017 and can say, I haven't been on the site since 5/10.
The content isn't really the problem. Very pretty models. It's just that it's no different than what you're going to find anywhere else or for that matter, on a DVD site. It's easy to blame the dropoff of Twistys on MindGeek now owning it, but that's not the only problem.
The quality, if you pay extra for downloads, is very good. There's HD videos dating back 7-8 years, photos are zipped, technically it's as good as it always was.
The insistence of making it a network is silly. I know that the old owner Shap tried the network concept, but never pushed it the way it's being pushed now. The old style was as simple as clicking on a "site" which the name told the genre of. Now, the scenes are dropped into a hub and you have to trust their judgement of what is Hard, Lesbian, Solo, hopefully the love of networks will try to navigate its way out of that mess and get lost.
I still think it's a good site, especially for new or newer members. The older content, 2007-2011, is very good, maybe not the highest technical quality, but there was more oomph to the content. If you like interviews, the old interviews on here are some of the best. If you like solo, the older solo videos are as good as anyone's. It's that newer content that's a problem.
Guy walks in, girl gets naked, sex, scene over. If I can find any positives about the newer content it is in some of the solo scenes. The hardcore scenes feel like Brazzers Light. I really don't think the newer good solo scenes are that much better, I think it all depends on the models.
Also, if you're a past fan of Twisty's pictures, they're still good. Somehow, they didn't mess with the lighting/coolness Twisty's pictures are known for and that includes newer picture sets as well.
If you're new to Twistys or just going back to get some old favorites, you'll like it well enough, but if you're a longtime member and have a hard drive stash of the old content, I don't recommend it, not even for a month.

Pros:
Good quality images and videos
Popular,attractive US nude and porn models
Huge selection
Nobody is the least bit shy here.
Cons:
Bait and switch up-sales
Downloads cost more (videos AND image zip files)
Access to old material costs more

Up-sale landing page at login
Up-sales at every click.
Did I mention bait and switch up-sales?
upsales

Annoying? Yes, it is.
Main biller is MBI-Probiller. Only way to cancel is to contact them.
Bottom Line:
I have been a member of Twistys almost every year since about 2002. For some reason, TBP/PU decided to start a new listing when they changed the name from Twistys to "Twistys Network". I have a prior review from 2015 listed under just "Twistys" that is still fairly accurate but it isn't here because...no idea.
Twistys, Twistys Network and Twistys Hard are all the same site. It isn't a network at all. It has been this way for over a decade. No one site has material that isn't on at least one of the other sites.
This time, when I signed up using the Porn Users discount, I learned AFTER I joined that downloads of any sort cost extra. The "VIP" option was $39 a month at sign up. Once I was in the site, it was only $10 a month. And every time I login or click a page, I get a "One time offer" for access to everything Twisty's has to offer for "only" $59. Wow, what a bargain... If this were Met Art or Kink or any of the dozens of other true networks, I might jump on that. But it isn't. What they are giving you is the ability to download material that you should already be able to download, and access to mostly lower resolution archives that you should already have access to. It is a money grab and it sucks.
When I contacted support, they said there had been piracy so they changed the pricing. Nice try since Chrome plug-ins allow one to download all the videos on the site that can't be downloaded without paying extra. So by not allowing downloads they are actually creating piracy. Smart.
OK, enough bitching. Clearly I am pissed off at being treated like shit by the owners of this site. Let me tell you why I wanted to rejoin Twisty's in the first place.
Twistys is one of the last of the old 90's style creative glam sites. The photographers (or photography studios) are world famous folks that shot for Playboy and Penthouse. Names like Holly Randall, J. Stephen Hicks (Digital Desire Studio) and others. They know how to shoot images and videos so the material is generally top notch. The lesser known photographers here follow the teachings of these great, great photographers. So you get perfect sets, perfect lighting, perfect make-up, absolutely no distractions from the reason you are here and a come-hither effect that you only see on a few sites these days.
The other thing you find here is an old-school creative vibe that is reminiscent of Danny's Hard Drive from the 90's. Many sets have themes like politics, some kind of fantasy scenario or just general whimsy. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it doesn't. but you have to give them credit for being good enough to try things.
And lastly, the models/porn stars are nearly all popular, English speaking and typically very attractive. They strip, they play, they fuck, they masturbate. They do everything you want in a straight-style porn website. Many of them talk to you while they are doing it and the best of them look at the camera in a way that makes you think they are looking right at you. When it is good, it is very, very good.
Those things are what has kept this site alive for the last 15+ years.
Now, there are a few nitpicks.
Many of the porn stars here are on the more mature side. Although some are new and on an upward trajectory, many are beyond peak and a few are really well beyond peak.
Physical enhancements are plentiful. It seems that as porn stars mature, they decide or are coerced into doing things that ultimately damage their natural beauty. A few girls, like August Ames with her lip work, (Sorry, August) are sometimes uncomfortable to look at. Porn stars age. Some gracefully, some not so much. Both types are here.
Subscriber scores sometimes don't seem to matter. I first noticed this several years ago. The site has something called "Twistys Treats", which is a long, long standing monthly profile that includes an interview and several photo and video shoots. They used to pick the treat based on the highest number of subscriber votes. The highest voted model became the Treat. Then there were a few months where the highest vote DIDN'T become the Treat, then they stopped the voting. I think this may be a porn studio thing and not a subscriber thing. My guess is that Twistys is as much a venue for the studios as it is a site for subscribers and studios are paying to profile their stars. I can't be sure about this, but it FEELS like it. If you don't know the history, it isn't a huge deal, but I do, so it is to me. So I don't trust any scores now.
So...bottom line. Is Twisty's worth a visit? Well, if you haven't been here before and you like high quality glam-style porn, absolutely. It is still a very good site with a huge volume of excellent material. But if you are a returning subscriber, be prepared to be annoyed by the up sale and bait and switch tactics that they use here now. In other words, be prepared to be treated like shit instead of the valuable customer that you are.

Pros:
+Beautiful Models
+Great Videos & Images
Cons:
-Billing
-Billing
-Billing
-CONSTANT upsales each time you log in
Bottom Line:
I don't join many sites these days but always did like Twistys so when I got a email for a full month of "full access" for $9.99, I decided to take it. My first red flag for the site should have been them using their own billing company called "Pro Biller".
After signing up I could log in but each time I tried to access a pic or image it'd tell me to upgrade my account for $40. I had to chat with support (40 mins and 4 upsales later) to finally get it working. But even then each time I went to download a video i'd get a 401 page not found error. I could download image sets fine just not video.
So decided it's not worth the hassle of support again. So I go to cancel. Guess what? Online cancel can't find my account. So finally had to email and then again chat in support to verify it was cancelled.
Overall Twistys is Twistys. Beautiful models, good pics and video but the fact that for some unknown reason(gonna guess hassle and upsales) they are using their own CC processor instead of Epoch or CCBill. For that reason along I would not recommend this site. Or at the very least be prepared to have to spend time with chat to get problems figured out.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
Wide array of talent and performances.
Scenes going back to mid 2000's, many long retired legends available.
Cons:
For lack of a better term, the site isn't stable.
Download speeds are erratic and often very slow. They also frequently fail or end well before completion.
There are a lot of what I would call "bad links".
Related video links are a joke.
I will expand on these in the Bottom Line section as they are important to the overall score.
Bottom Line:
I took a discounted one month membership to try them out. My membership ends today. Long story short, for me, this site is on the high end of Needs Work. If they put some time into fixing the issues they have they'd probably leapfrog to Very Good, but based on their response to my one complaint, I have my doubts so I'll air the rest here. There's some good stuff here, but getting to it is sometimes more of a challenge than it should be.
--For lack of a better term, the site isn't stable. Often I would click on a link only to get a "404 Page Not Found" notice, then refresh or go back and click again and the page is there. This happens A LOT. I also found some download links unavailable one day and available the next.
--Download speeds are erratic and often very slow. A complaint regarding this was answered with a generic reply of "Net congestion, Do a speed test, buy faster internet, clear your cache, make sure your browser is up to date and try a different browser". All this even though my complaint spelled out that my download speed of similar content from other sites was more than acceptable. Basically I got a canned "It's not our problem" reply. Also related to downloads, I frequently had Failed Network Errors and downloads that ended well short of completion.
--There are a lot of what I would call "bad links". Click to download a video and there's no video file to download, just an HTML document. Years old complaints about the issue in the comments section tell me one of two things: There's no apparent plan to fix these issues or comments of this type are ignored. I also pointed this out in my complaint to them about download speeds and it wasn't even mentioned in their reply.
--Their Related Video Links at the bottom of the page are a joke. From what I could tell, no matter what video you were looking at, the related links seemed to rotate between the same dozen or so scenes from the last six months or so. If someone can legitimately explain the following example to me I'm all eyes: A scene from 2004 starring Nicole Sheridan titled Babe Double Penetrated has as related scenes 4 solo scenes of 3 Girl/Girl only performers and one Girl/Girl scene of 2 Girl/Girl only performers. Can anyone come up with a clear, concise explanation as to how those five scenes relate to a Boy/Boy/Girl Double Penetration scene? I have no problem with companies advertising other scenes on their site, just don't tell me you're suggesting something similar to what I just saw when it's something totally different. If it's not oranges to oranges, at least make it oranges to lemons and not oranges to turnips.
--In closing, I wouldn't recommend this site. It's riddled with technical issues and their customer service motto seems to be "It's not our problem."

Pros:
Twistys Site is slowly gaining ground out numbering old content with new.
Includes several sites including Twistys Hard.
Amount of videos: Got be over 50K at this point,
Amount of pictures: Over 20K at this point.
Fast downloads.
Cons:
Still be aware of cross checks.
Extra sites seldom update.
There is a sameness to the site.
Old material out numbers new.
Old material not sorted well.
Bottom Line:
Overview:
I have been a member of Twistys off an on over a decade and the site has allot of material I usually wait a year and rejoin gather up the last years material stay a month or two and leave. Shop around I am able to find 9.95 a month joins by checking around well worth it at that price.
This site has all your favorites Madison Ivy, Kayden Cross, and all the stars we grown, many whom started off at Twistys and still many return to this day.
I tried to redo this review as bla bla bla it has High res, many videos stunning women bla bla. If you have read any reviews on this site you know its done well, produced well and updates weekly.
I will say however TEREZA is one of my new favorites I didn't recall seeing before wow.
So my rejoin was worth it.
Pro's Lots of material and over time is replacing the old material sadly some of the old simply looks like crap on any modern monitor other then a smart phone. But the high res 1280x720 and up is replacing the old material. Twistys hard is a nice addon a few years ago and has added new spice as well as more lesbian scenes replacing the solo amounts.
Cons":
This site is about the same from video to video its produced the same, shot the same and actors are the same. Ealier videos tended to vary more. The Twistys Hard is a great shake up and makes this well worth joing but there is a vanilla feel to the site.
Toads Take:
I give Twistys a 5 outta 5 Boner Points.
Its a solid player with long lasting consistent staying power. You will be hard pressed to find any site that is over 10 years old with solid track record of amazing women and boner giving performances. I like that if you check you can get this site under 10.00 Dang you can't buy a Porn DVD for that little let alone access to 1000's of data and material. Twistys is also slowly growing with the hardcore getting them out of the flavor of the month club and giving great material. Why the solo scenes are same same in many areas. I am sure we can all agree we get over it when the moans and rubs take your mind off of it.
I recommend this as a site anyone should join there is just something great about a clean consistent site. But gees get rid of these annoying crosschecks and I would give a 90.

Pros:
Huge collection of photos and videos. Good navigation. A full decade of material available. Newer videos are excellent quality. Models come in all shapes and sizes. Nearly every big-name model you've ever heard of. Mostly US models who actually speak!
Cons:
Be careful with the cross-listing when you join.
Waaay to many ads for other sites. Once you log in, you are redirected to a page with dozens of other sites to join. You have to scroll down to find the site you paid for. Not cool. Oh, and any discount offers to join the other sites are only valid for as long as you are a member at Twisty's. So if you want to join one of those sites, go find the discount someplace else.
Main sign-up is through Pro-biller in Europe someplace. These guys are pretty obscure and the only way to cancel is to contact them. One of the most important quality metrics about any website is the ease with which you can cancel. This one? Not impressed.
Scoring/ranking/search system used to be top-notch but seems to be broken now (See below).
Old categories that made it easy to find the talk-dirty-to-you videos are gone.
Bottom Line:
My old review expired and I joined again, so I'm updating that review....there are several changes since last time.
Do you remember the original Danni's Hard Drive? You know, before Danni sold it? Twisty's is practically an exact replica of the original Danni site. There is a HUGE collection here that spans over a decade. New material is very good. Most of the models are big american names, mostly in porn. Decent variety in the sets locations and models. And people seem to be having fun.
All that said, there are a few things that I feel obligated to point out. First, most of the models, though popular are..um..more mature. To be fair, the site also has some very popular younger models including Malena Morgan, Dakota Sky and Michaela Isizzu. One thing about a site that has been around this long is that you can find sets that span a models entire professional career. For example, if you like Sasha Grey, there is a terrific collection here from 2009 and before. But in general you won't really see any knock-out new discoveries here as the stable is mostly pros, many of whom have had more than a little work done. A few of the more popular models are still unaltered, though...thank god.
I noticed one thing that has changed since my last visit. Most of the older models have slipped down in the "top models" list, but the sorting of "most popular" or "top rated" no longer works. Instead, what you get for both options is a list that looks like it is ordered by the webmaster's belief of what the ranking should be. Top rated lifetime model today? Dakota Sky, even though she only has 4 sets, an 84% approval rating and 483 votes. By comparison, Malena Morgan, number 4 on the list, has 7494 votes, 35 sets and a 94% approval rating. In fact, there are a lot of models rated higher than Dakota (No offense Dakota...) Something funny here... How much do you want to bet that Dakota will be a Twisty's Treat of the Month in the next few months? That kind of manipulation... uh..weirdness is a little too common here.
Lately, it looks like there has been a shift from solo model sets to full guy/girl or girl/girl sex. This might just be based on the recent models preferences, but I can't tell. I also can't tell if this is a good thing or not because it is hard to video or photograph sex well and the site will be competing with a much, much larger section of the porn market than they did with the solo girl being bad niche. What I really liked about this site before were the videos of girls paying attention to ME, talking to ME, showing themselves to ME. Lately, that attention is going to somebody else. Apparently, they've figured out that this is what live-sites are for and that there is much more money in just promoting the live sites for those who liked the "talk' sets. Too bad I don't buy live sets. A few of these talking sets show up once in a while, but they are no longer a category and don't seem to be as frequent as they used to be. If you like that kind of set, there are still some very good ones here but you will need to look through a lot to find them.
The photo sets are generally good. They are not overly staged, there is a decent variety of indoor and outdoor sets, the mix of full-body and close-up shots is good and the lighting is correct. The models are mostly solo, some with toys, but there are a few girl/girl scenes and two and three way sex scenes. There are NO shy girls here. Eventually, every girl in every solo set puts it in your face.
The network structure has changed a bit, too, but the other sites that you get free access to are still the same sets that are in the main site, just repackaged into different categories. In fact, once you enter one of the other sites, you can't tell it is a different site at all.
They have a girl of the month theme with a series of photo and video shoots released throughout the month. These range from interviews to hard core, depending on how far the models go. Long ago, these models were chosen by the subscribers. These days, I think it might be more a matter of availability or something. No real formula that I can figure out. These sets are good if you like the model.
Overall, this site is well above average with a huge selection of images and videos. The girls are mostly mature, large breasted and in many cases enhanced a bit. The images are good but not too glam-ee and, from what I can tell, not overly touched up. I got in on a discounted rate but since it is difficult to cancel, I ended up getting hit for a second month at the full price. Ouch. Still, it is positively worth a visit at least one a year, especially at the discounted rate.

Pros:
- Huge site (7000+ videos)
- Photos and videos
- Several resolutions offered
- Updates daily
- Good navigation and search functions
- Allows download managers
- TBP/PU discount
Cons:
- Wide gap in file sizes between medium and high resolution
- Download speeds vary but are mostly slower than average
- Primarily a solo girl site
Bottom Line:
Ive been an active internet porn buyer for more than 15 years and I had to ask myself why Id never joined Twistys since it seems to be one of the larger and more popular sites around. So I joined. I realize that a lot of any reaction to a site is subjective and my subjective response to the site is that it lacks any real heat. In is recent review of the site, Graymane hit the nail on the head when he noted that the site seems to be lacking heat. For me, I think a lot of that lack of heat comes from the fact that this isn't the kind of site Id usually join. Objectively its a great site, but subjectively it isn't for me.
The site uses a trick commonly used by many sites in that it sells itself as a network when it really isn't. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, but there is a main site where everything in available and then the sites allow you to filter the scenes and photos further. For example, all the hardcore scenes can be filtered by selecting the site called Twistys Hard.
The site is huge with more close to 7700 videos uploaded. 385 of those feature b/g hardcore sex. 186 are lesbian and the remainder are solo girl. The site caters to photo collectors too, with equal emphasis on photos. (Id prefer to tell you exactly how many photo sets are available but I ran out of patience. The site only allows the user to advance two pages at a time and after advancing through almost 400 pages of videos two pages at a time I just couldnt bring myself to do that again. This is a minor flaw that should be fixed.)
I collect videos so this review will be on that part of the site.
The videos are mostly offered in three resolutions, 240, 480 and 720. Ordinarily Id opt for the 720 for quality but I always look for a balance of resolution and file size. A problem with the site is that there is a vast chasm between the file sizes for the 480 and the 720 resolutions. It wasnt unusual to have a scene where the 480 resolution was 500MB and the 720 was more than 2GB. Because of that difference I opted to go with the 480 and those are 1024x576 and 3000kb/s. There are some scenes that offer a fourth resolution of 1080 and with those there tends to be less of a gap between the 480 and 720 files. I cant say how many scenes offer the 1080 resolution because they aren't marked and it isn't an option on even most of the newest updates.
Speaking of updates, the site doesnt disappoint in that there is one new video and one photo set added per day.
The site allows download managers and I had no problem using one. I had no issues with links timing out but most of my links were never more than a half hour old anyway. I didnt encounter any download limits. One problem I did encounter was a wide variation in download speeds. There were times when I saw downloads as fast as 15MB/s but there were a lot more times when the speeds were lower than 3MB/s.
My three biggest complaints about the site are purely subjective and I havent factored them into the score. Depending on your tastes these may be seen as positives for you. The site is primarily a solo girl site and that isn't something that I collect. I find solo scenes boring because they lack any interaction with another person. I find that interaction, when done right, creates a sexual tension and for me thats where the heat comes from. Second, the site seems to favor models with large breasts, whether theyre real or fake. This is especially true of the older videos as the newer ones do seem to have a bit better balance between smaller-breasted models and ginormous-breasted models. The final complaint is that there aren't a lot of anal scenes and those that are offered are mostly older and with European models. (As an aside, searching for anal scenes will bring up hundreds, but they include solo scenes in that count too. To be fair, once you get the search results for anal you can then further sort by site and selecting Twistys Hard will give you all the hardcore scenes. If youre interested in this niche, there are only 23.)
Overall the site is well laid out and it is relatively easy to find what youre looking for. You can sort by model, there is an effective search function and they use tags effectively. Navigating is easy here.
The bottom line is that this is a great site as long as you know in advance what youre getting: the site is primarily a solo girl site that offers both videos and photo sets and they add in some hardcore b/g and lesbian to keep things interesting and to offer something for everyone. The site has some flaws but overall they do more right than they do wrong. I wont be back (for the subjective reasons Ive noted) but I would recommend the site to someone who likes solo girl stuff with a sprinkling of relatively tame hardcore. The site certainly delivers on that.

Pros:
+ Thousands of pic sets and vids to tempt you.
+ Daily updates (hardcore only updates 1-2 times a week)
+ Good sized pics (2000x3000), usually 100+ pics per set and come with zips.
+ Good pricing deal at $10 a month through TBP
+ Generally attractive models and mostly known porn stars.
+ Updates are date stamped.
+ Mostly original content but what they do filters out to other sites pretty quickly.
+ Stream rates were good on all downloads with little variation between high and low traffic
times.
+ No DRM and no d/l limits.
+ Multiple download options for pics and vids including mobile.
+ Variety of scene options (solo, lez, and hardcore).
Cons:
- Navigation, search and layout are a mess.
- Prechecked cross sales on signup and ads when you log in and in the site itself.
- Upsell purchase required to see all of the Twistys content from old.
- HD vids only come in at 720p but still look good.
- Technical problems across the board, just like everyone else who has reviewed this site the last few years (explained below).
- Zips don't work on pic sets older than 2010.
- No vid and/or pic set icons for older scenes.
- Pretty generic in terms of overall scene interest and photography.
- Problem with model names, notably giving "new" names to established Euro girls.
Bottom Line:
For years Twistys (now the Twistysnetwork) was the old reliable. If you wanted a bunch of porn for a reasonable price that's what you got. Nothing flashy or niche based, just good old fashioned naughty bits in a professional package. This used to a standby site for me but with the new network design, new owners and array of issues this one is getting shoved on the back burner. Here's the breakdown:
PICS: Good pic sizes and lots of variety but that's where it ends. For their hardcore, they have one primary photographer so you pretty much see the same type of sex set after set after set. Many of the hardcore sets are heavily cropped so if you like full body shots then this ain't your site. The solo shots are better but they are pretty generic in character. Some problems with photographer using auto focus with too narrow of a focus field (pics get slightly blurry just outside of the central focus dot - probably because the pics are just HD screen grabs from the video shoot and the photographer can't figure out how to change his settings).
VIDS: HD maxes out at 720p but it was good quality and no issue to me. You get in browser playback but it was incredibly choppy - I had to go to the download option and watch there. I lost the ability to hear sound after watching 6 - 8 vids and had to exit the site and re-enter to fix it (sound just fine when downloading though). I had no problems downloading vids like some other recent reviewers noted. Vids usualy 15 - 30 minutes (shorter on the solo, longer on the hardcore).
NAV: This is the part that chapped my ass. The site underwent a major overhaul and like most software upgrades, you often leave some functionality behind. Here it was A LOT of functionality. The site is all flash based but there is no in site flash navigation. If you open a set on page 5 and use your "back" button you go back to page 1 every time. You have to right click and open every scene in a new window or else lose your place. Since you can only move up to two pages at a time you need be careful on a site this sized.
Advanced search is pointless since it relies on tags and the tagging is inconsistent. Model directory seems complete but names on Euro girls are sometimes different.
You lose the ability to download zips before 2010. Also, around 2010 you lose the set / scene icons (all it says is "no pic available") and those that do exist aren't representative of the content or even the model.
You need to upgrade to see all the older / oldest content they have.
Most of these sites (7 in all) simply update across the board with most of the content. This isn't new but it is a pain since if you have to do a lot of digging if you want to see as much as possible (each scene says which site it was updated to but this isn't reliable or consistent).
Overall, this is a decent glam oriented site. However, it could easily be more and better but simply chooses not to be. They've obviously cut their budget and it shows. So, for $10 you can't really go wrong but don't expect to be wowed.

Pros:
#Hoards of very beautiful women. Most include videos. All have picture galleries; enough that you'll stay busy downloading.
# HD comes with all the accolades Twisty promised us.
#allotted space for votes and comments
# unbelievable, heavenly crafted anatomical infrastructure ..no "warts and all" associated with any of these beauties.
#videos up to 15 minutes.
#For those inclined, unusually long, strip teasing
#Hardcore, softies, lesbos, something for everybody but solos (predominate).
#Rather simple navigation
#Should get a good discount if you look for it.
#popular site. My second time around
Cons:
#Particularly annoying was that nearing my termination I had to login again after almost every video clip.
#Way too many shoots done places and in positions that did nothing for me ...example: chairs, showers and outdoors. Although we've yet to see close ups of rears fresh from being seated in a mud puddle.
#Have yet to find my few video downloads anywhere. This could be my own fault reading their techie's instructions.
#A proctologist dream site ...Rectum sizes and opening galore. Panoramic close-ups are so voluminous medical students would do well to considering a go at joining.
Complete with Technicolor highlighting bowel structure, hemorrhoidal close ups, hairy asses, and pairs and pairs of hanging balls abound. Compounded by Agonizingly long clips of this eye-sore going non-stop ...... I suppose when the cameraman's arms become so heavy they simply drop equipment and "head" fo the "head."
Bottom Line:
With all twisty's hype, on this second visit I came away still combing the four corners looking around to find it. (the hype that is )
I mean, sure, one has to admit sight-savoring, eye-candy depicted this great stuff does abound throughout the ranks of these killer-babes.;
And along with those goodies came the obligatory overload of erotic-crushing smiles, digital foreplay (twisting nipples, among other things cupping and arborizing their pristine mammarys, followed often by just moving from side to side in a repetitive motion ....seemingly to kill time before summing up their act with the good stuff)
I call that interlude "the body waltz" because they just move about aimlessly in the same motion.
I even wolfed down a hefty tray of raw oysters once before Twistys came on stage this time hoping to get a rise out of my dozing pecker. However , All I got from that was heartburn for perhaps eating too fast.
I also ought to mention here another porn related malady resurfacing by this site.... namely the reoccurrence of an old condition I sometimes get with a show's stagnating non-occurring erotic stimuli coupled with said sites' reoccurring but expiring occurring 30 day occurring sneaky pete reoccurring membership policy.
I just call the condition wherein a site leaves you numb with boredom "phalluses paralyses."
For me this recent sojourned into Twisty's "reoccurring" renewals, I found myself again a reoccurring victim of erectile disinterest. The condition came on mercilessly leaving me considering inventing new ideas to introduce positive blood flow back into a lifeless penis.
Forgive me, but I think I might've gotten a tad carried away with just trying to give a favorable review here ....inclusive, of course, nourishing the fact I'm shamefully off topic.
I know that makes no sense but For the lack of an official medical name, I just call the condition "phalluses paralyses."
Old geezers like me get those things for a Varity of reasons .....don't'cha know?
Okay ..... so I've been a little "hard" on Twisty with this review. Wait! "hold-it" can I get another AMEN on the relative connotation "hard?"
Alright listen up! Enough non-sense, already.
So in my final judgment, and in all fairness, Twisty is a site I have to recommend ....The sky rocking number of flawless beauty as well as the sheer volume of the whole package alone speaks volumes. (excuse the double entry of the word volume) But its always been one of my favorite words ....and its legal.
So, guys, FWIW ... by all means "charge" on into Twisty website with my hardest blessing.
But for me .....I don't see a reoccurrence.

Pros:
This site has very attractive models and I'm sure you will recognize some of them from other well known sites. You will not be disappointed by the beauty presented here.
My interest is purely in photography, so please excuse me if I don't discuss video sets. It is not fair to discuss something I never entered in to.
Camera work and poses are above average and the latest sets typically average around 100 images. The latest sets have choices in image size. The largest size is 2000 X 3000. Even the smaller sizes range from 1000 to 2000, depending on their age. The cutoff between the larger to smaller sets is between 2009 to 2010.
I can't argue the cost. Joining from "The Best Porn" was $9.95 for the first month. This is extremely generous.
Cons:
I have been a member for less then one month and have run into several technical issues. One during this very review. I will give Twistys a plus for having a very quick response time when directly contacting someone for support, but these glitches are becoming the norm.
Not at first, but sometime during my subscription this site has gone through a change. When I first got my subscription I was able to get zip files of both new and older photo sets. Now, sets older then 2010 are not available in zip. I am only able bring up individual images of these older sets and make a "save image as". I don't remember getting any notification of this change and I can't say if this is temporary or permanent.
Twistys is limited to just picking one category for searches, such as model or solo. You can do a search by typing in a list of terms, but if any one of theses terms is not in a set description, that set will not come up.
Bottom Line:
Twistys has the finest looking models in the industry and excellent photographers. They update the size of their photography to stay on par with the industry and give you choices of size in all their latest photo images. The price of $9.95 for the first month is very generous.
Sadly, in the middle of my subscription I lost the ability to get zip files of photo sets older then 2010.
Searches are limited. You can type in a model, boy/girl, and oral, but don't expect to get every set that fits all these choices. The best advice is to keep your searches simple and be prepared to sift through multiple sets to find what you want.
I can give a positive account of their support system, because I used it more then once, but that is not a good endorsement of their website in general.
A last issue I will bring up now, because I ran out of room in the "cons" section; after I finished with a set, I would naturally back out to continue searching, only to be brought back to the very first page. I could be any number of pages into my search and always be dragged all the way back to the first page. This is minor, but when you are planing an evening of downloading this starts to get annoying.
If I were to measure this site on the beautiful women and the quality of the photography it would have a very high rating, but I can't ignore the loss of zip files for older photo sets, the constant technical difficulties that came up or the difficulty in doing searches. These brought this site's rating down for me.
So if you can live with the cons, I have listed, you will find models that rival the best sites in this industry and in quality HD photos.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Solid site!
huge selection of softcore and hardcore pics and vids
I think there is at least 100+ models
good price for what you get
Cons:
some of the older content is not HD but then again any website that has been around as long as Twisty's have not upgrade their older vids to HD either so no real problem or surprise there
Bottom Line:
you can't go wrong with this site...the good ole standby

Search does not work
Support No Response in 30 days
Bonus sites not updated
Dozens dead links and 404 errors.
Many horrible shot videos old stuff
Chat never had a porn star use it.
Crosschecked items (BEWARE)
Bottom Line:
I was a member back in 2010 I had hoped the site would have improved it was ok then just unreliable.
Toads over view, the site is pretty, plastered with gorgeous women, the front page of updates is the sites masterpiece. But the site behind uses and old server engine and looks like it did in 2008. The site was slow very often simple downloads of video took 30-40 minutes and I have a 50mb connection. Could not get download manager to work, but Firefox queued them ok. Search never worked and bonus sites are unattended with dead links, blank pages. No downloads just a mess in my opinion.
Toads : Licks : The newer items are in HD the site misleads those that join to think the site has allot of HD when less then 1% are HD many photosets are grainy even newer ones. Thats not to say there are not amazing videos and pictures, but they advertise 1.6+ Million Photos 46,000+ Videos and many are subpar old formats and grainy. I would say 20,000 pictures are good and 2000 videos are good. Thats a great deal still but when you think you are getting a million picture of good or better you are not.
Good Stuff , the site has a nice simple navigation and easy to understand downloads and usage, The site has allot of their own material and most only seen at Twistys. I joined for only $9.99 on a bonus deal so was well worth the join. Cbill cancellation was easy no problems so far.
Cybertoads Bottom Line
The site is good but not great, support never answered me in 30 days and 6 emails, even using the forum resulted in no answers. The chat never had stars use it and there is no future advertisement of when it may be back. Lots of dead links on videos and pictures. Which is a big pain in the ass to think you are getting a great collection and its dead and support does not respond. Quality varies from stunning to WTF, inconsistencies among photographers makes the site unreliable. But Tammy is one of the best look for her shoots they are top notch. The women their tend to shoot much better.
I probably wont be back for another few years. The site had material I downloaded back then, but many were dead links to. Twistys took allot of their material and moved it to the other sites to help fill. The site is worth $9.99 not the 29.99 they advertise and watch for the subtle crosschecks.

Pros:
Great content, updated frequently, an insane amount of back content, quality of the newer stuff is pretty good.
Cons:
Poor navigation tools, does not do a good job fixing errors/bugs quickly.
Bottom Line:
Twisty's had been a site that I always wanted to give a shot because it seemed like it was right up my alley as far as the content provided. There is just a ton of stuff here and everyone is going to find content they enjoy.
The biggest problem is that their navigation system is spotty, their advanced search is down. Even when I find a girl I like the option to search for similar models doesn't even work.
You can tout the high amount of content all you want, but at the end of the day, if your navigation system is junk and you aren't fixing it (judging by the reviews on this site, and their local message board it's been broken for a while) then people are only going to be able to access a small amount of that content without spending way more time than necessary doing it.
I hope they listen to the feedback on their message boards and on review sites like this. This would be an amazing site if they would just fix their navigation. Until then I wouldn't recommend it to other people.

Pros:
- Huge amount of content
- Great TBP price
- Pretty much every well-known US model featured
- Multiple daily updates
- Some well-known glamour photographers
- Most videos have no music
Cons:
- Members area dated, a bit glitchy
- Advanced search offline
- Zip file names could be more helpful
- Content arguably uninspired
- Fairly short login timeout
Bottom Line:
I joined Twistys as a snap decision; it's a bit more glam than I usually prefer but it featured a number of models I like and the TBP price of $10 for the first month was too good to refuse.
To login you have to endure both a captcha and some cross-sells, but once there, the members area is fairly uncluttered. It proclaims 3,800 models, 3.4m photos and 100K video clips. I can't confirm this since my own figures were going to be a metric gazillion of each - there is lots of stuff here, going back over a decade. There are typically 3 pictures sets + 2 videos per day, which indicates the size of the site.
However, take the above with a pinch of salt - most picture sets are 100-150 pictures, with zips available, and recent sets from approx the past 3 years go up to 3K size. Similarly most videos are split into 5-8 clips - but you can download the whole scene (anywhere from 10 mins for solo videos to 25 mins for hardcore) as a single file, in sizes up to 720p - again for about 3 years - before then the quality is typically half that.
It does feel slightly dated, though, and is slow to respond - I actually resorted to the public site for browsing models, since it was faster than paging through the model list on the members area. There is a free text search, but no advanced search for finding models by age/hair colour/build etc - it does exist but is broken and has been for some time. This is a shame since it is a necessity on a site this large.
My comment about it featuring models I like - probably applies to everyone here - I wouldn't know where to start when reeling off names, since pretty much every US model is here; along with some of the more popular European and UK models too.
The style is very centrefold glam, such as you'd expect to see in Penthouse etc - the models made up, studio lit with typically sexy lingerie. In some cases it's ordinary; in others it's very good, and Holly Randall - one of the best photographers in the genre - features heavily, as does Tammy Sands, who's work is similar. Also quite a lot from Digital Desire - the soft-focus style is quite distinctive - and most of the UK models featured seem to be shot by APD Nudes, so this site can give you a taste of that also.
Material features full nudity (well, not actually full, depending on your definition; sometimes something stays on, and often - infuriatingly - the high heels) and the majority (not all) feature masturbation, probably roughly evenly split between fully manual and with toys. The focus is largely on solo material - but I'd say - and this is just a rough guess - that maybe 20% is girl-girl, and 10% hardcore. But with the size of the site, that's still a lot if either is something you are after.
This is slightly tricky to score; I found the content a bit uninspiring, as I generally prefer something with a bit more subtlety, or a theme, such as voyeurism - anything that can put me in the scene rather than just looking at a girl posing for the camera. So that's probably why I got more from the videos than the photos here - quite a few feature some fun dirty talk from the models - and almost all of them are devoid of the usual cheesy music track, which was very refreshing.
So if my review seems utilitarian, it's because the site arguably is - it is what it is, a huge site of glam US model content - but with the quantity here there are some good bits and the price is great. If the centrefold style is your thing, this is definitely recommended; for others, you are still likely to find stuff from models you like.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
The content is quality. The photo galleries are zipped and many are availible in various qualities (low/med/hq). The videos are available in multiple formats (wmv/mp4/mov) and qualities as well.
The site offers an array of beautiful women, mostly European with a good dose of Latin & Asian models. Most of the content is female only (solo or all girl), but they have couple (m/f, etc) galleries & videos too.
The site offers search for female talent and content (Red Head, Cum Shot, Dildo, etc) which helped in navigation.
I also loaded my download manager with over 100 links and let it run with no problem. So many sites nowadays have limits or cookies that reset, no problem here. The site also met my internet speed limit, no lag at all.
Cons:
Many of the women listed mid 2008 or before (going back to 2004) have their videos/galleries unlisted from their model page; but in some cases the content is still on the site. For example, Trina Michaels is listed as having 1 gallery, but there is not link to it like the more recent models. I found not only 1 gallery, but 2 so far, not by searching her name, which draws a blank, but by perusing content searches. On top of that, I found 1 video so far.
If you're a fan of male stars you are out of luck, they are not searchable or labeled in any way.
Bottom Line:
It's a good site. Huge and high quality across the board, content wise. If they ever modernize the search ability it would be an A+ in my book.
They update everyday (literally) and there is so much to look at & enjoy, it's well worth the price of admission. Just be prepared to look around. There is a lot to see. :)

Pros:
Twistys offers thousands of very beautiful models.
Offers thousands of scenes and photos, many exclusive.
Can chat with the stars.
TBP huge discount on first month.
Cons:
I joined thinking the girls would offer something different, like twisting their bodies and unusual positions. Not so. It's similar to other sites out there.
Roku support not offered.
Places where links or movies don't work.
After TBP 1st month discount, site renews at $29.95/month. I think this is overpriced for what they offer.
Too much solo action, too few one on one.
Bottom Line:
Twistys is a nice clean site, but compared to others listed on TBP it is similar. They offer some exclusivity. The prices are above average. For my limited funds, I find better value elsewhere. I'm glad to have tried Twistys, but it's not for me.

Pros:
Huge amount of content (over 15,000 sets and 5800 videos)
Video and picture quality is very good (pics go up to 2000x3000, video to 720p)
Active forum where staff interact and seem to listen to requests
Interactive live shows every 2-3 months free for members
Cons:
No universal search box (can only search from certain pages)
Navigation is nowhere near as intuitive as it could/should be
Small bugs pop up in various places (old videos missing thumbnails, code leaking at the bottom of some pages, things generally just not working correctly)
Had trouble cancelling (both the online form and the online chat didn't work, had to call in to cancel)
Bottom Line:
The truth of the matter is that I knew this was a site that I wasn't going to like as much as some other people here for 2 reasons. First, I prefer videos to photos, and I primarily know Twistys as a photo site. Second, I knew that their Twistys Hard section was "relatively new", so I wasn't expecting much boy/girl content. But the PU deal was too good to pass up. And while I was pleasantly surprised about both of those things when I joined, there were enough things I didn't like about the site that it left me disappointed.
For the photo section, it was about as good as I was expecting, which is to say quite excellent. The pictures are all quite large and sharp from the ones I looked at, and come in small, medium, and large sizes, with the large topping out at 2,000 by 3,000 pixels. All scenes have downloadable zip files, and most of them have zips available for multiple resolutions. You can favorite photo sets and photographers, but not individual photos, which slightly surprised me but doesn't seem like that big of a deal. The one thing I will say that disappointed me is that while many of the videos actually do have accompanying photo sets, there's no easy way to go from a photo set to it's corresponding video and vice versa. You have to go to the actresses page and find the photo set released around the same time that looks similar (because they aren't necessarily released the same day).
Now to the video. The technical aspects of the videos were about what I expect from a high-level site in this day and age. There were options for standard and high definition up to 720p. No 1080p was surprising, but not a big deal to me as I usually don't download that size anyway. There's over 5800 videos, but the vast majority of them are solo videos, with only 370 videos listed as lesbian and only 240+ in the Twistys Hard category. Which led me to a nice surprise, which is that the Twistys Hard videos weren't the only boy/girl videos they have on their site. It looks like at some point very early in their existence they purchased a bunch of late 90s/early 00s video content from somewhere and put it up, which included another 900+ boy/girl videos. While I suspect that many of these videos aren't exclusive, it was the first time I'd seen most of these movies, and since the content was so old, it included many women who I didn't have any scenes of. I was able to find videos of women who I hadn't thought about in years, and videos of women who are MILFs now from back when they were still young and fresh. The videos aren't of particularly great resolution, which is to be expected, but the fact that they were there at all was probably my favorite part of my membership.
Finding and browsing all that content, though, was easily my least favorite part of the whole thing, because they didn't make it easy at all. The basic problem, in my opinion, is that the site seems to be designed as a photo site that also has some videos. And if that weren't obvious enough from some of the little issues I ran into (for example, the male talent isn't listed on the page for the scene at all, even though they have that info stored with the scene and it can be seen when you add it to your favorites, even after you do that, there's absolutely no way to go through scenes by male talent), it became clear as day when I tried to search through the videos. Because if you do, the search box says "Photo Options" instead of "Video Options". It actually took me 2 days to realize that that was the video search box and that I wasn't being taken to the wrong page. And that is far from the only bug that I found.
Speaking of which, this is the first network I've ever joined that doesn't have a universal search box on every page. The search they do have is very good and thorough (you can search models by things like eye and hair color or country of birth, and you can search by things like wardrobe and location). But you can only do it from a couple pages (the model, photo, videos, and Twistys Hard index pages, to be specific). If you're anywhere else on the site, you have to go back to one of those 4 pages to search. Which just seems like an unnecessarily large pain. It also seems counter intuitive that while they have a space for your profile on every page, you have to actually visit your profile to find a link to see things you've favorited. They could have just added those links to the space they've reserved on every page.
One last thing that left a bad taste in my mouth is that when I tried to cancel, the website wouldn't let me. Their form wouldn't work, and when I tried to do the online chat, I never got a response. I ended up calling their customer support line and that worked fine, but it never should have gotten that far.
So, in the end, while there was a good amount of good content here, it was just so much of a hassle to go through that content that I can't see myself being a member of this site for more than a month or two at a time.

Bottom Line:
Just on price alone and the content it offers I would definitely recommend this site.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
1. Great content
2. Great variety
Cons:
It was the most work Ive ever done, to see a naked lady.
Thumbnails, a critical part of the selection process, were non-existent. On the phone with their tech support, we resolved the problem by clearing the history file. That only worked if I cleared all my cookies. Hundreds of cookies that identified me to websites I frequent. Stored passwords, all deleted. This must be done 10 to 15 times a day to view thumbnails. In order to remain on the Twistys site, I am prompted for a password sometimes every 5 to 7 minutes, each time having to enter the password that has been deleted in order to see thumbnails, and a capcha, many of which cannot be deciphered. I often then receive a message that I am already logged on.
Activating the back button is a crap shoot. I will activate a download of a lady Ive found and liked and hit the back button to see more of her. I am taken to another quadrant of the site and have to navigate to the desired photoset, usually requiring logging on once more.
Bottom Line:
There was not enough room in the above box to finish my list of complaints
