Pros:
This site/network never really developed its own identy, in my book. it's a collection of scenes - some solo, some boy/girl, some girl/girl. A couple of years ago, the Twisty's Hard material went to this site and I suppose that is the closest to an identity that this site has - it tends to be on the glam side of things, even when it's going a kinky direction. New updates currently come 1 update per week. This has slowed down from 1 update every 3 days in October 2020, so COVID-19 or just disinterest on the part of the site owners are slowing things down here. There are a lot of hot babes here - recent updates feature Scarlit Scandal, Alexis Tae, Vanna Bardot, Sabina Rouge, all of whom are freaking gorgeous. New scenes are available in 4 sizes, 320 p, 480 p, 720 p & 1080 p - no 4K, each scene has a gallery. Photos download at 2000 x 3000 and the galleries are easily scrollable on the site as well.
Cons:
Like Twisty's "Network", this site has had a major purge for reasons not explained anywhere. The August 2020 TBP review referred to 1,548 scenes. Now, almost exactly 5 months later, there are 1,131 scenes on the site, including the updates in those 5 months. As to the "Network" claim of this site, that's all in the past. Babes Unleashed was last updated Jan 2018. Black Is Better was last updated Jan 2019. Elegant Anal was last updated June 2020. Office Obsession was last updated December 2017. Step Mom Lessons was last updated April 2020. So what you've got left is basically a light version of Twisty's Hard - in the past, they have mixed up solo and boy/girl scenes. Recent updates have been all boy/girl. Who knows what the future holds, or if they'll get completely bored of this site and slow down updates or remove more of what's here.
Bottom Line:
Bottom line - this site would be the definition of average if the site hadn't divested itself of several hundred scenes in the past 5 months. I can't give this site less than a 60 when they've got some really hot babes in scenes that look good at 720 p with good production values and sound & everything done entirely competently. But I can't give more than a 60 to a site that's losing hundreds of scenes in a 5 month period and is slowing its updates by 1/2. I got this site quite a while ago as an add-on when there was a nice sale to do so, but I quite honestly can't imagine why anybody would go out of their way to join this site at this point in time when AdultTime, for instance, has plenty of material like the material found here, as well as lots of other material, updated daily, etc.

Pros:
- The main site you get with this subscription is Babes.com, but they offer network access to Elegant Anal, Stepmom Lessons, Black is Better and Office Obsession. Babes.com has around 977 scenes with updates every 2 days, but the network updates even more often.
- Scenes are pretty varied with a lot of different locations, premises and types of action. To give you an idea they have around 224 Lesbian movies, around 100 threesome scenes, 181 Outdoor scenes, about a dozen massage scenes and 149 work fantasy scenes which include all kinds of jobs.
- Some great models and while the focus is clearly on white young models shot in glamour scenes there is some variety. For context 640 scenes have a Caucasian model.
- Most scenes are around 30-40 minutes and there's a decent amount of variation in set up: some scenes have no dialog, some scenes have voice over to set things up, some have the actors talking and setting up the scene, it's a nice mix overall
Cons:
- As I mentioned in my Elegant Anal review this whole network has an ad problem, tons of ads pretty much everywhere you look. They are pushing content from other sites, they have channels which seem to be attempts to re-sell other networks. The regular membership only includes streaming and a big banner that ask you to unlock downloads. It's a pain overall and it feels like navigation is more cumbersome than it should be (the menu for example has 3 navigation buttons but 4 buttons that lead to some kind of promotion or upsell).
- No easy way to filter all models from just one site. The tag system is alright, but could also be improved. Like let's say I want to see all interracial scenes on babes.com, but not those on Black is Better (which will obviously all be interracial) but the tag for black models doesn't show up when filtering by site, only when searching the entire network. Not a deal breaker but some odd quirks.
Bottom Line:
I don't usually join networks that are focused around boy-girl or lesbian content, so it will be a bit hard for me to compare this to sites like Vixen or X-Art, but I'm fairly certain babes.com is going for the same glamorous look so I'll give it my best. Also for full disclosure I had a streaming only subscription so I’m not sure how fast downloads are.
Let's start with the positive: All videos I watched here were very well shot, good light, good editing with a nice mix of closeups and wide shots. They have some loosely themed series like "The Sessions" which is supposed to be a therapist interviewing a male or female model they end up having sex with, or "Bad Girl Justice" which is a series of about 5 videos themed around school girls having sex with a teacher and taking revenge on him for cheating. These mini series (some of them only 2 or 3 videos) give the site a chance to vary up the plots, the clothing and the location of the sex.
Aside from this they also have some scenes focused on oiling up the female model, kind of similar to Fucked Hard 18 and scenes that are very reminiscent of Vixen with a voice over from the female model. More recently they added a few scenes that I believe are meant to look like they are shot at night in a dance club maybe a bit similar to stuff you'd see on Blacked Raw.
Overall this variety makes the network pretty interesting as you're not always sure what you'll get when you open a scene. There is also some pretty good variety in the outfits the models are wearing and where the sex takes place.
Finally, they have some great models, both European and American. Several scenes from Elena Koshka a great scene with both Elsa Jean, Piper Perri, scenes with Gina Gerson and Luna Rival and so on. For the most part pretty well known models that can put on an interesting scene.
Unfortunately, the negatives drag things down:
Payment is really not clear. They say unlimited access, but that means no downloads unless you pay an extra monthly fee. There are ads everywhere and it constantly feels like they are trying to upsell you.
Navigation is good, but for a large network I would expect some better tagging and more filtering options. It’s also incredibly frustrating that you can’t tell what videos you’ll get from the pre-purchase preview pages. They have plenty of interesting content, I don’t get why they make it hard to preview.
Overall, the technical and sales aspect kind of lower the score here. I happened to join the Team Skeet network at around the same time I joined this site and I find myself going to their site a lot more than I’m going to babes.com although the action here is probably more interesting. I just don’t want to bother with all the ads and rather poor filtering options. That said, if some of the models I mentioned above sound interesting and you want more variety than what Vixen offers this might be a good network to join.

Pros:
- Despite what the official best porn review says the site only lists 80 scenes today with the latest being uploaded on December 11, 2017.
- The scenes have categories and you can search based on those pretty easily, although I wish there were a few more descriptive ones.
- Incredibly hot models and a nice mix of European and American girls (tags are not always right but the site lists about 30 European models. The American tag only lists 11 models but there are a lot more American girls here).
- Really hot outfits, lots of stockings and high heels and for the most part the outfits stay at least partially on.
- Lots of positions (especially since most sex takes place on tables and couches, it's impressive how creative they get)
- Great light and editing, lots of nice close-ups mixed with good wide angles. The editing is also for the most part really good with nice music over the intro and smooth cuts whenever needed.
Cons:
- No updates since 2017 and the site doesn't show in all of their main search functions, pretty safe to say it's dead and no new updates are coming.
- Most scenes are boy-girl. They do have a few threesomes and at least one lesbian scene, but don't expect a lot of variance in that area.
- While the theme is supposed to be office sex, there are a handful of nurses/ doctor scenes and some other scenes that don't fit the theme ( a maid, a Christmas scene, that kind of stuff), not a big deal breaker, but just don't expect all 80 scenes to be set in an office.
- As I noted in my Elegant Anal review some scenes from this network can be a bit short. Almost all scenes here are at or over 30 minutes, but with some having a relatively long set up of 7-8 minutes that can be a bit of a downside. Also no interviews or behind the scenes or any extra content.
- Some models have a thick accent which makes some of the set-up a bit awkward to listen to if that bothers you.
Bottom Line:
I originally joined the babes network for elegant anal and while a lot of the stuff I said in that review applies here as well this site blew me away.
Let's start with the good: all scenes are very well filmed with good cuts, nice mix of wide shots and closeups. The models are really gorgeous and while they still are mostly Caucasian and teen looking there is more variation here than over at elegant anal.
The website design is modern and responsive, I've had no issues with it on my phone or pc, even with some spotty hotel internet. I wish they had less ads, but overall can't complain.
I couldn't really check download speeds since I only had a streaming subscription, but the photo galleries have a nice slideshow function and videos played in high resolution (1080p is the max, no 4k here) with minimum buffering. Overall very happy with the technical side of things. (Categories could be a bit better, but the site is small enough that I could find the videos I liked pretty easily)
Unlike elegant anal where I wish there was more attention paid to the setup for the scenes most videos here have a longer intro and the girls keep on their cute outfits. Zazie Skymm leaning backward over a desk and giving a blowjob while still wearing her heels and a half opened yellow shirt is an incredible sight. The way Jade Nile is playful and smirks at the male model when he's trying to ignore her because he's in a conference call is simply adorable. There are so many incredible models here (Dillion Harper, Ella Hughes, Angel Smalls) and there are so many tight skirts, heels and stockings the site really stands out.
The biggest negative if of course that it's a dead site. No longer getting updates is a pretty big downside and I haven't been so sad to see a site go in a while. That said the 80 scenes on here are great and while a few of them could be a little less blurry (the Angel Smalls and Janice Griffith scenes in particular seemed very fuzzy for some reason) or would benefit from a few more wide shots, overall the content is top notch.
In conclusion if you like the office setting fantasy or just like to see girls partially clothed in stuff they might wear around an office, and are interested in the models I mentioned above, this site alone makes the babes network worth it. Throw in the other sites they have (elegant anal, babes, step mom lessons) and this is worth checking out at least once.
I am only giving it a 75 instead of a higher score because there isn't more of the great content they can produce.

Pros:
- 95 videos with regular updates two or three times a month.
- Streaming in multiple formats, always very fast for me, even when not on the best internet.
- Well filmed scenes with a good mix of wide shots and closeup's on the girl's faces (especially when they first move into anal sex or if they really get into it)
- Good light and a nice mix of positions, action and location. Some scenes only have anal sex, some decently long shots of pussy eating and rimming, some scenes are filmed on the floor, some have couches or beds... you get the idea it's a pretty varied mix.
- Modern web page design, you can filter scenes by quite a few categories, the videos thumbnails auto play a preview when you hover over them, responsive mobile design. Everything you'd want in a modern site. The only big downside is that the model page is decent but shows models on the whole network, you can't see all the models that are on just on Elegant Anal
- Good looking models.
- Great photos.
Cons:
- Most of the models are pretty well known European actresses (Linda Sweet, Gina Gerson, Ivana Sugar) Not necessarily a con, but they have a certain look.
- While there is a nice variety in the video premise and location I believe all scenes are boy-girl. Don't expect gang bangs or threesomes, I didn't even see any toys being used.
- Some scenes are pretty short. The average is around 30-35 minutes, but for example the scene with Foxy Di and Martina Gold are each 19 minutes and there's a handful of other scenes that are around 25 minutes. No bonus behind the scenes footage or interviews or anything like that either.
- Quite a lot of ads, the first page when you log in is an ad you have to close, there are pretty big animated banners at the bottom of each page. Since I only had a streaming subscription I periodically would get a banner asking me to unlock downloads.
Bottom Line:
Let me start off by saying that I got access to this site through a streaming only subscription to babes.com, so I'm not sure how the download options work. It seems like it would be fine as they advertise unlimited downloads, but I can't comment on that. Speaking of streaming, if you're not sure and want to check the site out that's a pretty good option since it gives you access to pretty much everything with the only downside being a pretty big banner that pops up every time I logged in reminding me I should upgrade to download.
That said, the content here is pretty good. The models are really gorgeous and the filming style works pretty well overall. There are a lot of tracking shots, soft light and a nice balance of closeups and wide shots. I am also really impressed with the variation in locations, I don't believe any of the scenes are filmed in the same room. If you ever wanted to see anal sex scenes in a restaurant, barbershop, sauna or in a pool this site has you covered.
As far as action there's a decent amount of positions (partially due to the locations), every scene has at least several minutes of anal in a few positions and most also have some oral and vaginal sex. Unfortunately not a lot of ATM (26 scenes are tagged as such) and if they use toys it's very brief (3 scenes are tagged as using toys). There are also a decent amount of scenes that end with an anal creampie or the male model cumming on the girl's ass, which is a nice change compared to the standard facial. Unfortunately it's a bit hard to find these scenes since the tags are not always that accurate.
Another downside for me was that the set up is quickly brushed aside. Most scenes jump to the sex within 2 minutes, and the girls are completely naked within at most 4 minutes, which feels like a wasted opportunity. There are a lot of cute outfits that could be kept on or more slowly stripped off to add to the whole glamour side of the site, especially since a lot of the videos are only 30 minutes.
There is one particular scene with Linda Sweet where she is dressed as a business woman/ FBI agent and she slowly undresses while getting seduced by a con-man, keeping her stocking and garter belt on, it was a very well done scene that used the setup well. I wish there were more scenes in that style, it would have made the site stand out more when compared to Tushy, Hardx, Holed or 21naturals.
At the end of the day, that's probably the biggest downside, while well done there isn't anything that really stands out here. You can get more scenes at any of the sites I mentioned above, the models are pretty well known so you can see them do anal in other places and while there are some good scenes here I don't know if I can recommend it unless you're a big fan of anal glam porn and have seen the stuff other sites have.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Attractive models.
- Tasteful settings.
- Nicely filmed, but a con at times.
- Photo zips, too.
- Quite often enthusiastic and believable action. The scenes with Szilvia Lauren are possibly worth the price of admission. Holy cow.
- Epoch as a secondary biller.
- No download limits that I could tell.
- Decent size site. 70+ pages of 12 scenes per page.
Cons:
- Navigation
- Questionable lighting and cinematography at times
- Not much visual difference to my eyes between 720p and 1080p videos
- Download managers are mostly useless.
- No photo quality options
- CONSTANT login requests.
- Not necessarily a con for everyone, but pretty much all white girls. Quite a few extremely attractive white girls, mind you, but don't expect too much variation beyond blonde, brunette, and redheads.
- Tasteful lighting and filming, but some scenes are just a step above late night movies on Cinemax.
Bottom Line:
A nice looking glamcore site that I'd been considering for a while, and I'm pleased overall with the content and glad I finally gave it a shot. Quite a few scenes looked like they could have some sort of relationship with the crew responsible for filming some of the Sexyhub /Dane Jones sites.
BUT...
- Constant login requests.
At one point it let me choose a video, choose the download option, and immediately logged me out after clicking the 720p option. The video didn't begin to download and I had to re-login after the next click one or two seconds after choosing the video.
Inexcusable.
- Worse still were the login requests that led to an "Oops! It's broken! Try again later" page that was there after refreshing the page without needing to log in again.
- Poor navigation.
Want to see all the models in alphabetical order?
Go to the "Models" pulldown, and look for the... wait, there's not an option. Only "Top Rated, Most Viewed, etc." So you click on "Top Rated" and see that there's another pulldown on the following page that has "All" under the "Sort By" option.
And a few days later, after one of your dozens of login requests, you realize the "Models" pulldown button itself is a link to all the models.
- Dead links
I suspect these are related to their attempts at site security and their constant login requests.
Lots of 404 "Page Not Found" errors even when you're logged in and not prompted to log in again.
Click on a video and the 404 error comes up. Hit page refresh/f5 a moment later and the page is fine. Very irritating.
- Encoding
The 480p videos really seem to be the sweet spot for size and quality. I was surprised that the 1080p clips don't look that much better than the 720p ones in most cases. I suspect it has to do with the lighting and whatever filters they use to soften and romanticize the clips.
- Download managers work if you consider "work" to just mean "they can be used to download a few clips simultaneously just like if you didn't use one." The system logs you out so frequently that any clips that take more than a few minutes to begin will fault out and download a "default.htm" result. The site *will* allow you to resume a clip that's only halfway downloaded, though, so that's a plus, but I wouldn't say download managers really, truly work with this site. Not in the sense that you can load up the night before and wake up the next morning with a dozen completions.
-Bottom line-
A pretty good if occasionally irritating glamcore site. Lots of nice looking "couples" filmed in soft lighting with good backgrounds. Lots of solo and lesbian scenes (I'd guess over half of all scenes), and apparently very capable hair and makeup artists since I saw some actresses I don't often find attractive that looked quite nice in their scenes.
I'd join again.
*** To get to Epoch as the biller, (thanks and credit goes to malikstarks for the tip re: Bangbros user comments):
If Epoch isn't the primary biller, enter everything correctly except for your credit card's expiration date on the initial purchase page. Make it a year in the future, and the system will reject it. Do it two or so more times and they'll send you to the Epoch site.***

Pros:
-Can stream or download videos.
-Videos stream in 320p, 480p, 720p.
-Video download choices: 320p, 480p, 720p, 1080p
-Excellent download speeds. I got around 3 MB/sec.
-Allows use of download managers. I use Down Them All, a free download manager.
-No DRM.
-No download limits.
-Matching photo set for each video. The photos are like excellent screen caps of the video shoot.
-The videos are professionally shot: good lighting, good camera-work. Good sound control.
-The models are uniformly attractive. They are not the drop-dead gorgeous models of X-Art, but X-Art has some of the most beautiful or cute models in the business.
Cons:
-Uncheck pre-checked offer on signup page.
-Primary biller is MBI-Probiller. Try to switch to a secondary biller, which is easier to cancel your subscription.
-Small site. Only 36 videos and matching photo sets.
-Updates with 1 video and matching photo set per 10-15 days.
Bottom Line:
The site theme is anal sex.
This is a glamcore or heartcore site. The girls are treated with respect. You don't find any spitting or hitting or slapping or crude sex here (except that in the old days, anal sex would have been considered crude or raw. But times change. Anal sex (in porn, at least) is almost considered normal today.
This is a small site. You can join directly, or get full access through a membership to babes.com (also known as BabesNetwork.com). Why they use two different names for Babes.com and BabesNetwork.com, I don't know, it makes it more
confusing.
The models are attractive. In their late teens or early twenties. White. (I found one Asian model out of 36 models.) Very little tattoos or piercings.
As an add-on to babes.com, it's an OK site. But for someone who's fetish is anal, it's too small of a site to satisfy your needs for long. And with an update rate of 1 video per 10-15 days, you won't get much new content with your membership.
If you're into anal, I'd suggest Teen Mega World, which has the Anal Angels website, and lots of anal videos that appear in their other web sites. Teen Mega World is not glamcore or heartcore, it's basic medium grade teen hardcore sex, with lots of niche sites, a ton of backlog videos going back for years, and a very low membership price that makes it an attractive option for teen hardcore.
Giving the site a score of 75. Main complaint is the small size. The models at the site are attractive, but not the beauties or cuties you can find at other glamcore or heartcore sites.

Pros:
-A large collection of attractive models, in their late teens or early twenties.
-Videos and photo sets are professionally shot: good editing, good lighting, good sound, etc.
-Models are fairly clean: not a lot of tattoos or piercings, they are young.
-Multiple choices for video downloads: ipod sp/480p/720p/1080p (MP4 format only).
-No DRM.
-No download limits.
-No site timeout issues (that I am aware of. Can be logged in to site without activity for a long time.)
-Content is exclusive.
-The content (photo sets and videos) shows the posting date to site.
Cons:
-Some hot links lead to 404: Page not found error. Try clicking the hot link a second or third time to see if the video/set will come up.
-Requires capcha to login (in addition to username and password).
-Wish the listing of models was more basic: a simple, alphabetical list of the models. They do have lists, based on top rated/most viewed/my favorites, but it would be easier to search through the models if the list was alphabetical.
-Not a lot of diversity in the models. They are basically white, young, attractive. Some PU members would wish for older models, different ethnicities, body types.
-Uncheck the pre-checked trial membership offer (on the signup page), or you will be dinged for a membership you probably don't want.
-There is a zip file for each photo set, but it comes in only 1 definition, not hi/medium/low definitions many sites offer.
-The zip file for the photo set downloads with a numerical name. Need to rename each photo set file with the model's name, plus data.
Bottom Line:
This is a glamcore site, where attractive young females egage in solo, two-somes (m-f or f-f), or occasionally, three-some sex.
I prefer the X-Art site over the Babes site. The X-Art videos seem to have more heat. The X-Art photos are just more stunning. These are both glamcore sites, but the X-Art experience is grade A, while the Babes experience is grade C. Am I
being too harsh on Babes? It has fine models, but the content is just not up to the standards of X-Art. The navigation for X-Art is simpler than the Babes site. I sound like a shill for X-Art, but I am not. Whenever I join X-Art, I pay the full price for membership (except I do look around for discounts). I have joined X-Art multiple times with a 1-year membership,
because I think it's worth the money. To join Babes for a 1-year membership would be a major waste of time and money.
I joined Met-Art with a lifetime membership, because I think that site is exceptional. The Met-Art videos are boring, but the photo sets, and the models, can be lovely.
Bottom line: If you want glamcore, join X-Art instead of Babes.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
There are many pros to this site.
1) There are 750 videos.
2) There is a update 3-5 times a week.
3) The videos are ALL in 1080p. Yes every single video going back to 2012. So you can see they update often. A very alive site. There are multiple download options.
4) Every Scene has a ZIP file for HD picture and a individual picture gallery if you want to just look and hand pick a few.
5) This site features THE top porn actresses from all over the world. Such as Madison Ivy, Mia Malkova, Dillion Harper and Stoya.
6) This site has a great variety of content. Most of the scenes are 1 on 1. But there is also Threesomes (GGB), Lesbian, solo and recently added IR.
7) The women on this site dress to the nines, the lighting is amazing and the scenes are professionally produced.
Cons:
There are some cons to this site.
1) The Navigation is a nightmare. You will have to go page by page to find what you want. If you try to apply a filter it will also filter out what you want. This is unacceptable.
2) The sex is passionate but can seem tame when you compare it to what the majority of porn encompasses today.
Bottom Line:
I remember when Vivid first came out it was so revolutionary. Because the sex had such high production quality I would have to compare Babes to Vivid in its heyday. If you like that kind of action then this is the site for you.
My overall personal opinion is if you can get a month for $9 like I did then it is well worth your dime.
One of the things worth mentioning is that they allow comments on the scenes and they seem to even keep the bad comments. That level of transparency is endearing. Hopefully they read them and make changes accordingly.
Things I would like to see to become a year round member.
1) Contract stars who produce more than 2 videos then we never see them again. I think there is a opportunity here to cater to your fan base.
2) Special content that only a year long member has access too. Maybe something with contract stars a little harder (Anal, DP, Deep throat Etc). Imagine having August Ames as a contract star producing 1 exclusive scene a week with harder content. Now that would be reason to join for a year.

Pros:
stunning girls, videos are well shot. like the option of streaming at different bandwidths
Cons:
not a huge selection, only a couple of updates a week. website is not great.
Bottom Line:
they've spent the money on the girls and the videos, rather than the website, which I suppose is the right way. good value as subscriptions are relatively cheap

Updated:
08-05-1412:32pm (Update History) Reason: More issues with site.
Pros:
Stunning Models
Unique Material
HD Video
HD Pics ( and zip files )
Streaming HD Video
Low intro price 9.95 ( at time of review ).
Cons:
Real Bad navigation.
Real Bad Search engine
Inconsistent category material.
Small site .
Cross checked sales even if unchecked.
Difficult cancellation.
Some material not really porn.
Updates rare once a week.
No update/new section.
Only one movie format. Mp4
Bottom Line:
Toads Over View :
You will find some of the most stunning women on the internet. We are talking many of these girls should be into modeling. Many awesome natural tits. These girls are boner central.
The site has a good price discount of $9.95 recurring at 24.95. There is a network at a very high price and not included. To get the network be prepared for over $50.00.
Good :
The women are amazing even the guys are not the typical tattoo fuck a hole guy. The sex scenes seem like sex and not just a fuck fest. And why there is Anal,and groups its done in a way that is not typical of porn sites. Do they fuck yes, but seems real. The downloads and pics downloads seem intuitive, pretty to the point .
Bad:
Navigation is like watching a three legged dog screw. It works but wow what a fucked up mess.
You can choose solo and end up with a guy and girl fuck scene with no. Lez scenes with a guy in it. I was like why the fuck do you have categories ?? Search why finds models the model list in non-existent, the search only found models and was not accurate at all.
Cancelling, was a nightmare. I joined the boxes was unchecked to join a trial, But I was dinged for it.
Contacting support was a nightmare, wanted to pull the guy through the screen and punch his lights out. But I was calm.
The rules say on their site you have to cancel before the 2 day trial, their support says it can take three days to process. If not Processed before the two day required notice I am charged. I called in 10 minutes of opening my account there. I asked then how does one cancel the trial they would not answer. But offered me 3 months for the price of one for my inconvenience.
Babes Network is false advertising in my opinion. You join the site only to find out more charges to join the network. Ummm Duh... thought I just had. This is not Babes.com I once loved and cared for. Neither is the support.
The having one video format is pretty insane Mp4 does not work well on some older systems and players.
Closing :
Very disappointed in my whole experience, which their support could care less and has refused any refunds. I wanted to just get my money back after only being a member 10 minutes and they refused. The site is clunky even though visually its pretty nice and previews look stunning. The video that are there are mostly good women are amazing this site would have been a 65 if not for some of them, Amber Sym, does scenes that are barely porn but she is sexy as hell. If you join watch her scenes first and it only gets better. To bad the powers that be that make the good video did not focus on the customer service experience. This site could easily be a 95 rating site, fix the navigation and search, get better support stop cross checks, and make the network a network.
And this site would be up there.
Toads take:
Join for the women, but be aware this can be a pain in the ass to quit, and surf. I found the $9.95 was still worth the women in this site. I wont be back, they made this a one trick pony site for this member.

REVIEW EDIT :
After going through =the entire site I found a serious flaw. Movie and Pic counts are wrong on the site. If a model has three videos that may not be true. I have found dozens of Videos that were not counted by the model listed. Which means there are dozens of videos I can't find by model and have to fall into them. Other issue I used a specific email that never has spam, I have been flooded the last week by adult spam, its even making it past my filter .
I Change my review to avoid this site until technical issues are fixed. I can not prove the spam was from these guys, however that email I have had free of porn ads 12 year. Coincidence ???

Pros:
High quality videos
Top rated models
Decent photo sets
Good lighting and sets
Cons:
Site is small
Must pay extra to access "network"
Far too much cross-selling
Difficult navigation
Site is oddly generic
1 New video released every other day or so.
No scoring system, just "likes" Really?!
Acting reminiscent of 16mm porn movies
Almost no model interaction with the photographer whatsoever.
Very little chemistry...either between models or between models and crew.
Nobody is having any fun!
Bottom Line:
Note: I think it is possible that they reworked this site since 2013 as I can't find some of the features mentioned in prior reviews. This is not the same babes.com website I was a member of 10+ years ago.
Well, here's another one of those sites that looks good from the outside, but it leaves you oddly unexcited when you finally buy in. It has all the right components, top models, great quality videos, nice settings, but there's something just a little...um...off about it. You would think that a video, for example, of Ariel and Caprice getting each other off in every way possible would be pretty heavenly, right? Well, it is nice, but the acting (and moaning) is a little artificial, the rhythm is a little too slow, the chemistry is lacking, the music is a little too 80's cheesy and the sex is just so-so. There are lots and lots of videos like this. Maybe the best image I can conjure up is this: These are like porn versions of Met-Art videos. Beautiful women but really, really boring videos. I have NEVER seen a boring Angelica video....until now (the fact that she is moaning while on her knees jerking the guy off doesn't add much). The more I think about it, the more I think it is just really bad direction. Really bad.
The photo sets are OK, but each follows the related video very closely and I can't tell if they are shot together or not. My guess is that they are. Some of these shots are at odd angles and a little off center like the photographer is standing beside the videographer.
This odd photography and video quality and the way the site is laid out makes me think these webmasters are much more about making money than they are about making quality product. They've put all the elements in place to make masterpieces, but every video I watch is a disappointment. I'm a jaded old guy who has seen a lot of porn, though, so feel free to think I'm crazy.
So, here's the kind of odd money-hungry thing I'm talking about. Across the top, you have options to join Fuck-now, Brazzers, Twistys, Digital Playground, Reality Kings or MOFOS. You can join ANY of them with what they call UNLIMITED ACCESS, for $69.00! Like any Ronco ad, they show that a lifetime Twisty's membership, for example, as a $349.00 value! I'm thinking, woa, that's a great deal! Ah, but of course, THERE'S A CATCH! It is unlimited access for AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN BABES.COM! Wait..what? No, I would not keep my membership to babes.com for more than a month (not enough content), so the unlimited membership would be pretty useless. They do have $10 off deals on the monthly rate for these other sites, but again you have to remain as a member of babes.com
Bottom line: Sorry, with so many other great sites to choose from, I can't recommend this one. This is the porn version of that movie with all the great actors that you ended up falling asleep in. My apologies to the webmasters.

Pros:
- Large site with 460+ videos available
- Ability to sort videos
- Updates daily with one scene per day being added
- Videos available in streaming and downloads
- Videos available in multiple resolutions
- Photos available (singles and zips)
- Beautiful models
- Good mix of American and European models
- TBP/PU discount
Cons:
- Some ads and upsells
- Photo resolutions seems a bit low
- Only one video type (MP4)
- No anal (which many will consider a plus)
Bottom Line:
This review isn’t technically a review of Babes network but is of the identical clone, Babes.com. I really can’t imagine why a company would have two identical sites, but they do.
This site is another in the ‘artcore’ niche with hardcore porn done with a softer edge. If you’re looking for slapping, throat fucking and lots of anal pounding, then you’ll want to look elsewhere. There is none of that here.
What you will find here are lots of scenes with beautiful women in solo, lesbian and b/g scenes. The site has offers the ability to sort by scene type, which is an excellent feature for getting to what you prefer. My preference is for b/g, so selecting for ‘couples’ removes the solo and lesbian from what I can see. The hardcore b/g scenes all follow a familiar format with kissing, foreplay (for both partners), vaginal sex and the money shot. As is the norm with these kinds of sites, the scene lengths are approximately 20 minutes each, in keeping with the natural feel that the site is trying to create. The production values are high with good lighting and editing in the scenes. The lesbian and solo scenes offer what you’d expect with scenes in those niches.
The models are a mix of American and Europeans. Some are well-known porn stars while others are lesser known. They are all relatively young (18-25) and most are petite. One advantage to sites like this that have more sensual scenes and also offer solo and lesbian is that they seem to attract newer models who may only do solo or g/g for now. It’s a great opportunity to see some new models (like Emily Grey. Please, please, please, Ms. Grey, make the leap to hardcore!)
The site is fairly large with 189 couples videos, 95 lesbian videos and 179 solo girl videos available. The videos are all available as streaming or downloads. Streaming is available as RTMP or HTTP (I have no idea what that means…) in 720, 480 or 320 resolutions. Downloads are available in 1080, 720, 480 and mobile resolutions. MP4 is the only file type offered. I found the 720p videos to be a good compromise between video quality and file size. The 720p videos come in at 1280x720, 4000kb/s and 29fps. Subjectively, they look great with no pixilation that some sites still have at higher resolutions.
The site supports download managers and I had no problems with the links timing out. The download speeds were what I get with other sites so they don’t try to limit speeds, even at peak times. Updates are made daily with one scene per day being added.
The site offers lots of photos too. Currently there are 122 ‘couples’ photosets, 95 lesbian and 179 solo sets. The photos are available as either zips or singles. The few photosets I downloaded all had a little over 100 photos. Photo resolutions seem a bit low at 1663x2494.
There are no obvious negatives to the site. There are ads and upsells, but those happen at other sites too and they aren’t obtrusive or distracting. I did find it a bit annoying that when sorting scenes you had the option to see what scenes are available on other company sites like Brazzers, Mofos and Twisty’s. I think the trade-off is that if you really like a model it gives you access to trailers and you may want to join another site if you like what you see.
The bottom line is that this is an excellent site with some great sensual porn available. The models are beautiful and the sex is hot. At the discounted price available through TBP/PU this site is a great value if you’re looking for porn with a softer edge.

Pros:
1)What few models they have on this site are spectacular. So much so I’m inclined to think budgeting for makeup exceeds what they pay models.
2)Proudly touts categories including Athletic, bald pussy, combat ready spiked heels, black stocking and more. does that make you lick your chops, or what?
3)Video quality, is exceptional. HD so graphic one is tempted to reach inside to grab a tit.
4)Media Choices given are streaming RTNP/ progressive HTTP/ Video quality HD 720 SD medium 480P/ SD Low 320P
(if you pressure me to explain all that, I could have a senior moment concerning a blather-matter.
5) Epoch billing is primary.
6)Each model's stats are posted, including a generous amount of helpful info.
7)Comments are given space and encouraged for each model.(Pulling no punches, I think mine went down the toilet)
8)Ample solo, mucho-lesbo, plenty hardcore, as well as an added mix aimed for pleasing all.
8)Video timing varies, 10 to 15 minutes, perhaps some more or less.
Cons:
1)They boast of having hundreds of models. Where?
Could this be the beginning subliminal porn?
2)clumsy password transport started from the get-go. Lost a day or more in limbo.
3)I found navigation reminiscent to stumbling through an Amusement Park fun-house .... exacerbated by countless promo trappings sticking you for limitless partners, Networks, buddy-boy boot-likers as well as you-scratch-my-back and I'll ... well, you get my drift. If the bate is too tempting, its because "Babes" made it so.
4)Scratch the technical mombo-jumbo about pixels, kbs, electronic numbering and the like, I had enough trouble just puttin' this review together.
4 not surprisingly, each fuck scene routinely goes through the same ritual of she gives him a BJ, followed by a tedious duration of the male vaginally poking, gouging, munching, licking, and generally any other event he can muster up in his presumed goal of upping the volume of her hackneyed screams of uncontrolled ecstasies.
Bottom Line:
I’d predict most guys curious enough to read this review might find this site a bonanza for a promo 30 day price of just $10. And he'd be right.
Me, on the other hand, might find better use for my money getting’ a quickie from a Aria Giovanni life-sized doll, pumped at a pressurized perfect psi with velvet lined motorized enter "tush" , satin soft tits, hand-made textured body skin, and all orifices working at peak performance.
But seriously, my lust run rampant every time I see an erotically charged video or a series of photos depicting aria lying on her back ..... wanker motion is in over-ride, titillation gauges at warp mode, all the while I'm praying she'll keep her dammed hands off her self-enamored, overweening obsession with her great pair of tits.
Well my friends, some of the gals you'll see working on this site is about as close to the excitement generated, and physically empowered endowments of the woman I just described as I can muster.
A number of These models are at a rolling boil; I might even add they're shockingly glamorous.
Figuratively, I simply visually dined on the gourmet of seeing them do their stuff.
I'd like to enthusiastically give the direction, and camera crew equal praise, but, unfortunately, they're dug in to the same old rut that befalls too many of these guys who just won't listen to we their customers.
The prolonged unsavory close-ups; shabby uncorrected mistakes; stumbling around thus giving us unsatisfactory imagery; too few full body shots; glued on single point focusing to the point of sheer boredom. The operative word is plainly "lousy.
Recommend it? with only two weeks into the site, I can't give a fair answer. Amend

Pros:
+easy navigation
+avg 100-200 images per set
+great quality images and videos
+HD videos (1080/720)
+zip files
+exclusive content
Cons:
-not a lot of models
-usually one video or image gallery per model
-one size zip
-image viewer sometimes frustrating
Bottom Line:
This is a great site with the majority of it hardcore and I would recommend for hardcore fans. The photography is similar to Digital Desire and Twistys which those sites are the reason why I joined this site.
Navigation is pretty easy to understand and you know what you can search by. You can sort by latest, oldest, favorites, etc. in videos, photos and models. When I encountered the Customer Service to cancel my subscription, I didn't have any problems and it was fast service.
As for the content, the majority on the site is BG and GG with a good amount of solo. When I was on the site I had counted about 420+ videos and about 430+ photo sets. When I joined the site I wanted the solo, but I was amazed on how great both BG and GG sets were. I really liked the GG interactions of the photo sets. Most of the models had either one video or one gallery or one of both which was a disappointment. You can only download one size zip which is large.
Models image pages loads pretty slow which takes about 10-30 seconds to load and you have to download photo sets to get the highest quality, for you can't get the highest resolution by looking at the gallery on the website. The highest image sizes I came upon was 2493px on the long side and is seems like it's on all images.
Video choices you can download are, 1080p, 720p, 480p and iPod/PSP. The quality of the videos are really good with excellent shots.
Bottom line is this is a great site for hardcore and softcore fans. This is a site I would recommend.

Pros:
+ Exclusive content that updates 5x a week.
+ Good $10, 30 day membership through TBP.
+ Great 2500 x 1700 pics with zips and true 1080 HD vids with good download speeds. 4 DL options for vids including mobile device sized. Also streaming available with good speeds and ability to jump within a scene.
+ Smallish watermarks
+ Attractive girls (18 - 30 range) with few "enhancements". A good mix between porn stars and more unknowns, at least to me.
+ A unique site in terms of the artistic and hardcore factors it tries to combine.
+ A good mix of content (about 40% HC, 40% solo, and 20% lez).
+ User ratings and comments sections and social media connections.
Cons:
- Tags / search engine is poor.
- Navigation needs an overhaul.
- Some ads on main page and when logging in.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup.
- The "artistic" feel the site is trying to convey gets lost with bad lighting, bad composition and iffy camera / cropping work.
- Very few positions shown for all scenes.
- Has a model directory but with very little info.
- You get timed out somewhat quickly and there are capcha's every time you log in.
- A fair amount of photoshopping and post production effects going on.
- More complicated than usual cancellation process. Web based cancel system doesn't seem to work (call or use email -- aka: don't wait until the end before trying to cancel). Also, must cancel at least 7 days before end of 30 days to keep from getting rebilled.
Bottom Line:
This is my first voyage into the world of "heartcore" / "lovecore" figuring it looked like it had great quality and would be something different. True, it was different. You won't find anal, dp's, gagging and the like here which is fine by me. I'd like to think that years of overexposure to gonzo porn and too much degrading porn (sort of the default it seems) has made me so jaded to my inner sensitive new age guy. However, even using that standard of measure this site just didn't seem to add up for me. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: The setup looked good. Site has about 125 HC, 56 lez, and 106 solo sets (all have 100 or more pics) and the pics are quite large with zips. However, it quickly broke down. When viewing in browser, the default setting is for a slideshow but you can click to a thumbnail layout. If you click on a thumbnail and go back a page you get the slideshow again. Way too much clicking. You can only view the full sized pics by DL'ing the zips; the inbrowser view is only 800x550. Additionally, you can't even see all the thumbnails and the way the thumbnails are laid out (horizontal as opposed to the usual vertical) you have to use their in browser "forward arrow" which is clunky at best.
There are several photographers working here and most seem to be too damn artsy for their own good. Lots of scenes use natural lighting which results in dark pics and lots of shadows. Also the default seems to be to have the camera in a fixed position which limits the angles and views we're used to seeing.
For hardcore, there is a big focus on foreplay which results in only about 2 positions for actual sex. Given that the camera seems trapped in a fixed position for many scenes the result is that it often feels like your watching a scene from some 1980's Hustler where they couldn't show actual penetration, you just sorta know they're doing it. The lack of positions comes across in the lez and solo stuff too. I guess I like more variety as opposed to just soaking in what's in front of me.
While you get about a lot of pics per set, most of it seems to be a mosaic masterclass - here's a pose but in one frame you get a head, another the torso, another a leg, here's another with some artistic blurriness, etc. The vids are better in this respect but it does gets frustrating regarding the pics. I guess when I think artsy I think of some originality and professional output. A lot of these scenes feel more like someone who knows photography but hasn't shot porn before and isn't quite up to it.
VIDS: About 130 HC, 120 solo, and 60 lez. In browser stream works great and the HD is real HD which looks great ... meaning it's only as great as the way the scene was shot. My main complaint with the vids is their composition and artsy feel which is mostly identical to the issues I outlined in the "pics" section above. A lot of the vids have music in the beginning, some music go throughout.
NAV: Yet another site that built a navigation system when they were small and it no longer works for beans once they've grown. I already groused about the in browser pic issues. The scenes have tags but they are limited. If you search under tags, say "brunette", you'll get a result saying there are 182 scenes. However, it will only bring up 30: there is no way I can see to show them all. The tags are too few (some scenes are mistagged too) and too generic given the number of scenes they have.
If you poke around under their 3 general categories of HC, solo, and lez you'll find that recent updates aren't included. The only way to look at everything is to go through every page of updates - which only lets you jump back or ahead a few pages at a time.
I give this site an 82 because of the quality, the amount of content and the hot girls. However, for me they missed the boat on what they were trying to achieve. This is not porn for women since the focus seems mostly centered on the girls and there is no real talking or kissing-centric theme and the HC ends with a body or facial cumshot. The softer artistic side of porn put forth here seems to get washed over by the crop / framing jobs, low lighting and one position camera angles in many scenes. Those who like artsy porn may be interested in this but I think that for most the HC isn't the hardcore we're used to seeing (and not just the gonzo / rough sex stuff, just the composition in general). The softcore / lez stuff with an artsy feel is done much better by places like HegreArt, MetArt and the like.
I guess I went into this with my hopes set a bit too high. I think this site would work best for someone who digs softcore and art photography and might be looking to try some hardcore. If, like me, you have more of a hardcore background then you're more likely to walk away disappointed.

Pros:
- Good interface, easy to navigate
- Good quality videos
- Pictures decent size and well compressed
- (Almost) daily updates - photos and videos
- Photos and videos come in matching sets
- Plenty of undressing
- Camera angles
- No anal (a plus for me!)
Cons:
- Some videos have music track throughout - no voice - others have bland music
- $=€=£ regional pricing (use TunnelBear to sign up)
- DMs don't work on videos
- Captcha on login
- Some fake boobs and tans (but not too many)
- Short login timeout
- Bit too much of the guy finishing himself off
- File naming a bit off
Bottom Line:
Although I generally prefer softcore sites, I have grown fond of the kind of tender, sharing, intimate and realistic (if somewhat idealised) sex scenes that the relatively new heartcore genre presents, and babes.com was next on my list to join.
Signup is relatively easy, but with the following caveats:
a) signup and cancel is through their own billing, not CCBill etc
b) they are a proponent of the grossly biased $=€=£ regional pricing setup - eg $20 in the US, £20 in the UK, over 50% more, but I am pragmatic and this is avoided with TunnelBear
c) You need to enter a captcha to log in
d) After which they do try to cross-sell to you other sites
But with that in mind, the site is nice, clean and easy to use when you get there.
The site has been around for about a year and updates with one scene daily - both a video and pictures, a setup which I quite like. During my membership this actually changed to 5 per week rather than 7 - but there's still quite a lot of material, about 300 sets & videos with approx 50/30/20 split between couples, solo and girl-girl scenes.
There is the usual browsing by videos, photos and models; and when going into a scene you get:
- For pictures, a browser-based slideshow, and download of approx 100 pics at a fairly respectable 2.5k
- For videos, a responsive streaming player, and downloads in 4 sizes up to 1080p (I went for 720 and they look very good)
Each model/set/video page also has user comments, and you can follow/like them within the site, and - if you are suitably unashamed of your smut proclivities - do so on FB, twitter and the like.
Most models are American, with some popular girls such as Malena Morgan, Lexi Belle and Hayden Winters; and some of the popular European models like Connie and Ariel. Not much ethnic diversity, although there are some nice latina and asian models; but there is a fairly broad range of ages, including some lovely milf-type models like Nikki Daniels and India Summer.
The theme here, as I suggested, is heartcore - like Joymii, X-Art etc, the focus is on couples scenes, but done in a loving, sharing way. The previous reviewer made some good points, but I think was a little unfair in criticising it for not being hardcore enough - you wouldn't join it if you wanted facials, DP and other more typical porn-y content. The scenes are fairly explicit, though, with closeups of penetration and oral sex, so it does deliver on that front.
That said, it's not without its issues. A commenter suggested that this is what Digital Desire would be if it did hardcore - and it's spot on. The girls are beautiful, the scenes are dreamy and idealised, the focus is soft and videos start with mood music, which fades out about a third of the way in to the sounds of the action. (The music is a particular peeve, actually - if you look at the previews, they have some good, brave choices of interesting music; this does not carry over to the actual videos which have more insipid/nondescript soundtracks which they would be better off without).
And, Like Digital Desire, they are fairly formulaic. It's not a bad formula, but most scenes (or at least the couples ones, which I was most interested in) play out the same way; the guy slowly undresses the girl, there's oral from both of them, there's sex with him and her on top. It's good, and well done, but could do with a bit more variety - and ideally, within the constraints of the genre, a bit more raunchiness.
But conversely, they have hung onto some porn tenets that don't really fit the genre. In far too many scenes, the girl ends up naked, apart from the high heels - I quite like heels in a pinup or glam context, but if I'm trying to imagine a realistic encounter, the shoes would definitely go! And similarly, in almost all cases the guy pulls out and finishes on the girl's belly/boobs/ass - again, there's definitely a time and place for a prominent pop shot but it does take away from the believability of the scene. Also see my comment about photoshopping - wholly unnecessary in the genre.
Despite my misgivings, this is still a good site in the heartcore genre and there's plenty of good material. If I were in the US, I would score this maybe 85 or 86; but there is no excuse for their heinous regional pricing policy, which has to cost them at least a couple of points.
But, pricing issues aside, Joymii remains my favourite - they are more creative with scenes, camerawork, and manage a bit more raunch while still being a bit artsy and trendy.

Pros:
beautiful girls
high quality videos
frequent updates
reasonably priced
fast download speeds
exclusive content
growing site
easy navigation
Cons:
borderline softcore
long intro's
bad camerawork
questionable cumshots
rare facials
Bottom Line:
High quality videos and beautiful girls at a decent price are normally a good thing but if you are looking for hardcore porn like brazzers then I can't suggest babes.com All of the scenes are almost soft core. I watched almost every video available so far and only seen one facial/oral cumshot. a lot of the pop shots are supposedly creampies but there is never any evidence of a cumshot. The camera work sucks hard. They are too busy being artsy fading in and out instead of just focusing on the fucking. They do update often but they are just more of the same boring sex.
