Cons:
-Download filenames are just random numbers so keeping track of downloaded scenes is harder than necessary.
-Endings are a bit samey with cum in mouth or facial.
-Channels seem a bit pointless (see bottom line).
-Cannot select multiple tags/categories from the list on left hand scenes menu.
-Favourites list isn't paged.
-Limited content.
-Some scenes don't list scene duration or a duration of 00:00 (nitpicking, I know).
-Options for downloading of scene are initially confusing.
-No updates since October 2019.
Bottom Line:
I'd seen previews of the content on this site which feature a number of hot Italian pornstars as well as a selection of Euro babes, so armed with a discount link it seemed worth joining. At 230 scenes, content is a bit limited but it's good quality, with the earliest scenes dating back to April 2016 and the latest in October 2019, with no updates since then.
There are 88 models with a variety of body types and age including a few BBW models, some with boob jobs and tatoos but thankfully there's little sign of any serious metalwork/piercings. The Italian models in particular appear in large numbers of scenes.
Scenes range from less than 10 mins to almost an hour, averaging about 25 mins and there are a number of types of scene, as designated by the 8 "thematic channels" which include things like castings, behind the scenes, interviews and more. I'll list and provide more details about the channels in the comments, but personally, I'm not sure I see the point of these channels as they just seem to be another tag/category and do appear in the scene tags/categories in the scene detail pages. I guess having the channels makes it very slightly easier to locate say, castings or backstage scenes.
The hardcore scenes don't feature much of a storyline, other than castings or sex in a limo. Notable scene categories are anal (63 scenes), DP (9 scenes), threesomes (22 scenes), lesbian (3 scenes 3 of which are FFM), gang-bang (one scene) and many others. There are 36 teen scenes and 30 MILF scenes.
The build-up to the action is pretty short, in many scenes the guy orally attends to the lady (or ladies) before getting his cock sucked, then it's down to the hardcore fucking in various positions and all the actors seem to enjoy the sex which usually ends with a facial or cum in mouth. A few scenes end with cum on ass or pussy but they're very few and as such the samey endings are a bit boring to a creampie fan like me. A saving grace of the content is the girls, both young and older are hot, especially in the many scenes (66 according to the Nylon category) featuring stockings (66 according to the Nylon category), which I'm also a sucker for.
One thing I really like is the site design - it's clean, well laid-out and responsive in the scene listings there's a lot of information in one eyeful, with each scene thumbnail not just showing the title and actor, but also the rating, duration, channel and release date. But most usefully, you can see whether the scene is in your favourites and also add or remove it from your favourites, all without needing to view the scene detail page. The only additional information in the scene detail page are the scene description and categories/tags, and you can also leave comments and rate the scene in addition to viewing and downloading the scene video, photoset and screencaps set; other related scenes are shown as thumbnails at the bottom of this page.
Scenes can be searched by scene title, but because all titles contain the model's name, model name searches also work and return matching scenes. I found that to search on exact/all word matches, you need to enclose the search terms in double quotes.
Bugbears with the site functionality is that the favourite scenes listing isn't paged, so if you end up favouriting a lot of scenes, the favourites page will take a long time to load and may be a bit slow to navigate because of it's sheer size. I've noticed quite a few other sites do this too.
Also, downloading the scene video defaults to the lowest quality, you have to select the desired quality (which also applies to streaming quality) before clicking the download link.
Also, there's also a "Report problem" dropdown-menu on the scene detail page, from which you can choose from the options "Picture/Video not available", "Pictures are Missing", "Slow Playback/Download" and "Other", the last one you'd expect to allow you to enter some details about the "Other" problem you're reporting, but no, it doesn't and I didn't get any feedback by email or otherwise to confirm that I'd reported a problem.
Finally, 2 weeks or so into my membership and I've suddenly found that I can't download anything - the links for downloading a scene and photos has disappeared. It's not a browser issue, it seems the ability has just been disabled for my membership, with no notice or warning. I'm guessing it might be because I've downloaded a lot of content in a fairly short space of time, though I'm not site-ripping but maybe the site's management have assumed that I am.
Despite the gripes, I do recommend this site for it's content, despite it being limited it's good quality and features many of my favourite Eurobabes as well as some veteran Italian hotties. But the apparent removal of the ability to download any content means that any recommendation comes with reservations. If you like to take your time browsing and downloading content, then hopefully you'll be okay, otherwise beware the download police.

Pros:
- An interesting, hardcore site that features models I've never seen and some older Euro models who I thought were retired.
- Updates weekly. A mention here on navigation since they have separate categories and it can make updates a little confusion. There are new "videos" added weekly though.
- By my count, there's 212 videos as of 10/26/2017.
- Download speeds are very good which was an initial concern, but I am downloading at 80% of max speed.
- And since it has come up before, the videos are downloadable and have options from 144p to 1080p.
- The content is quite unique and might be the biggest pro/selling point, will further this quite a bit in the bottom line.
- Subtitles on the scenes I've watched. There's also the setting to make the site's text in English.
- There's pictures and stills that are downloadable, but this will be in the cons too.
Cons:
- I hate to make this con since I can see they are trying to make things more interesting, but the different channels are confusing. Most sites that have "channels" have different content on them than what's on the main site. Channels here are, "Sex", "Casting", "Hints and Tips", "Documentaries", huh? Those are all porn scenes. A+ for effort, it's unique, but that's going to confuse a lot of people. Seems like Sex Art did something similar.
- The photos and stills, I think pictures would be a major plus on a site like this and they have picture sets with each video, but some have 4 photos in them. Some have 20. Some have 30. The stills are what the word says, screen captures from the videos.
- Last and this is a personal preference one, the women are Italian, European and they, in general, fit in that category of "hard" looking. The best example I've ever known of this look is Mya Diamond. I personally like it. But some won't.
Bottom Line:
I want to start by saying I've seen La Sublime XXX's webmaster asking about new reviews and want to say, I paid for my membership. I won't, however, let that alter my score as I'm going to be as fair as possible since they do seem to be genuine about trying to make a great site.
That's the thing, it's a great site. But there's several "buts". I find the models to be very attractive, but I tend to like models who don't look like they just stepped out of their 18th birthday party. Even the younger models on this site look more like women than say teens. Think Eve Angel when she was 18-19, she was a woman not a teen, at least not by porn standards.
The navigation and how to move about the content is easy to use, very clean, simplistic design, but if you go into "channels", you're going to wonder what in the heck is going on. I could be wrong, but based on looking at each "channel" it looks like they've stopped some of them which is a good idea. One is Backstage, one is Interviews, maybe the funniest is "Hints and Tips". Those are not bad at all. They have one of a woman showing how to squirt. They have one of a woman showing how to give a handjob. That's interesting and unique too. I think maybe Vivid used to do those, but haven't seen anyone doing that in awhile. I would keep those updating. I'm interested to see how many things there actually are! Then they have "Reviews" which is models testing and reviewing sex toys. That's interesting too. They have what looks like a one-shot 7 episode documentary with Priscilla Salerno, who I think is a very attractive model.
Where I think those become confusing is they are included in the regular updates/videos. They also have a "Best of" channel that updates in the regular updates/videos. For me, a one month member, I don't know if those are scenes that were once released just as a regular "video" then re-released as a "best of" and counted as an update? That's why I think the channel part is confusing overall. I counted the scenes the way I would on any site, multiplying the number of columns of updates by how many scenes are in a row. And do know that Interviews, Backstage, are included in those updates. Really, just typing that out made my head hurt.
I don't think they should stop the How To, Best of, but I do think they should stop tagging them as different from Sex Scenes.
The reason I went through all of that is by my count, there's just a little over 200 scenes on the whole site. If they disagree and have a different number, then my number is off because of the multiple unneeded tags/channels.
Moving on to the content: There's content here that I think members would if nothing else, find interesting. By interesting, it could mean sexy, it could mean sensual, it could mean humorous and so on. I'll give an example of a scene I watched earlier. The female model seems completely unimpressed by the male model and you have to know this happens in all porn, but they capture it and have her talking about it. It's bad enough that she's telling the guy to finger her because she's not even wet. By the end of the scene, she's talking about how he was much better than she expected and was making jokes about taking him home with her. There's a realness there. I have family that speak Italian, so I can understand most of it and there's English subtitles. Which is the really strong point to this site. For one of the first times ever, we have non-English speaking porn that has very clear English subtitles. It adds personality to the "foreign" women that we don't usually get to see or should say hear. And don't overlook those "how to" videos, the woman talking and explaining the steps, actually adds an excellent tease/erotic value to those scenes.
A few overall complaints before the technical parts:
The photo sets have to be bigger. Photo collectors are going to be very disappointed when there's 4 pictures from one scene.
Considering there's only one update per week, don't bring those interviews/backstage back, not if they're going to count as an update.
Outside of those, it's a great site. There's around 212 videos. Again, if the number is off, I'm just going from the videos link to count them. There's not a lot of backstage/interviews, maybe 15-20 combined. And while there's women here who I do know, like Simony Diamond, the vast majority are women I've never heard of. That's a big draw for me.
There is a "categories" section, so since I know we have anal lovers, there's around 60 scenes with anal.
The videos are downloadable up to 1080p, I download the 720p and they are very clear, I would go as far as saying excellent clarity. The files are not small. The 720p are right at 5000 bitrate. The 1080p are at 8000 bitrate.
I would recommend it to those who like Italian women especially and for those who like hardcore, but would like to see a little creativity thrown in too. I'll be back in about 6 months. Add more pictures and I'd bump it up to 90.
