Pros:
- One of the best threesome and group sex sites. Took me awhile to figure that out.
- Large site with close to 2,300 videos and 2,000 photosets. Problems with the photosets coming up.
- Dorcel is a top-tier producer and photographer he lands a lot of top models and top models I’ve not seen anywhere else.
- Newer videos have 4K and are unlimited downloads.
- Good download speeds at 80% my max.
- Updates roughly 3 times a week, worth looking into the year membership if you like the content. One month was coming up at $29.99. A year was $53. I took the year just because it’s cheaper than 2 months at the regular price.
- Newer scenes have subtitles.
Cons:
- The navigation. If I wasn’t bald, I would rip my hair out. Damn that infinite scrolling. I can’t give a fair estimate of how much content there is because the damn site wants me to keep loading more and I forget where I was.
- This is something I don’t remember. I can’t find anyway to download the pictures. Which makes no sense.
- The scenes without subtitles. They spoil me with those subtitled scenes then pages of loading scenes have no subtitles. I don’t even know what language they’re speaking. I’m sure it’s French, but they talk so fast, I can’t pick any words up.
Bottom Line:
I have been a member of Dorcel Club at least 5 times over the years. I always looked at it as more like a European hardcore site. Somehow, it just slipped by me that there’s a focus on threesomes and group sex. Dorcel films that niche as good as anyone. The angles are good. You’re not getting too much of this person and not enough of that one. It’s professional even. I have figured out you need the year subscription to deal with the infinite scrolling. I one panel at a time and download what I want. Hit load more and download what I want and stop for the day.
The models are probably worth it as are the scenarios, especially the scenes with subtitles. Subtitles and porn don’t really go together. I look down to read and say, “What did I miss?” But it is better than trying to figure out which Jacques is the woman’s husband. The scenes have an upscale look to them. I might would say glam. The part that got me paying attention and made me see that I probably haven’t looked over this site enough when I’ve been a member before are the specific models. I thought it was only French models. Now I know, Aleska Diamond, one of my all-time favorites has 28 scenes on here. Another longtime favorite, Cindy Hope has 9 scenes. Eve Angel even has 5 scenes and the reason I noticed this; it shows how big of a pain the navigation is. Those are models I have collected for over 10 years. I have no scenes of them from Dorcel. I had myself a jackpot. Those scenes alone will make the $53 for a year worth it. Zafira is on this site with 10 videos and there are entire movies that I download every scene from. I don’t know if anyone remembers the short-lived porn career of Tea. She has two scenes, and I only knew that while watching a scene with Black Angelica in it. It’s like a treasure hunt. It’s been 10 years since I searched through a like this.
This is not softcore. Just because you see the word glam, it’s not softcore. This is hardcore, anal, DP, the actions probably don’t match the settings our outfits they start out in. Dorcel is producing, he’s one of the all-time best. He just doesn’t know how to hire a programmer. If you like especially group sex scenes, you will get some scenes here that are bordering on unbelievable. The scenes I first say Tea in with Black Angelica has 10 females in (fashion terms = French), maybe Victorian style lingerie and costumes. I have no idea; I don’t wear lingerie or costumes. I think Victorian fits it. It’s lacy and see-through.
That makes this site a lot better once you realize that there’s a heavy focus on group scenes. You won’t see that because of the load more button. Having said all that positive the navigation is terrible. Besides the infinite scroll, there are no tags. There are two tabs that are sure to confuse you. Videos and Movies. You want to see that confusion? My thinking has been a movie is a full set of scenes that go together. I click on the first movie; it has one scene or “video” in it. You can’t do that with this site. You will go crazy and hate it. I believe that is what has happened to me in the past. I clearly liked the site or I wouldn’t have joined it at least 5 times. Nothing was keeping me around. If you like group and threesomes, I recommend it. Just glue everything down so you don’t throw anything through your monitor. I don’t know what happened to the photos. I do see that they don’t have many photos. That’s probably on another Dorcel site. Just come here for the videos. They’re really good. Don’t complicate it. I’m bumping the score up from my last review from 3-4 years ago. Just because the videos are that good. Videos are what is popular today.

Pros:
- A porn history lesson within a hardcore porn site. One of the all-time greats, Marc Dorcel, well into his 80s and still going (producing).
- Large site that features videos from different series (listed as categories, will list them in Bottom Line).
- Dorcel has been bringing in the biggest names in modeling for decades and not just European models, there are models from 25 different countries.
- Technical quality is about as good as you will find.
- Solo, lesbian, male/female, threesomes, orgies and I believe his orgy scenes are the best.
- Okay download speeds (about 65% of my max)
Cons:
- The site can be confusing. Aaliyah Love is listed as having 5 videos. You click on her, she has 1.
- Continuing on the confusion, categories takes you to nothing more than the different DVDs/scenes, no tags, nothing to tell you what happens in the scene.
- Continuing on the confusion, very limited photos, it's Marc Dorcel! Where are the photos? The photos that are available are screen captures and have 10-20 selected stills per set.
Bottom Line:
It's hard to believe but Marc Dorcel is in his 80s and is still producing porn. I first saw his DVDs on Private Video years ago. Probably the best compliment I can give him is he takes something really raunchy and makes it look classy. Like 3 men, 5 women having an orgy in what looks like a theater for the most wealthy people to attend plays at.
The technical quality of the videos includes 4K on newer videos, there's some with 3D, 1080p is falsely claimed on vintage scenes but overall, the video quality is very high.
The strength of Dorcel's work might be its weakness. There are vintage scenes here from the 90's, one with a young Rocco Siffredi with Carolyn Monroe, it shows a 1080p version. I downloaded it, the specs in VLC says 1440x1080. I'm thinking the non-existence of widescreen televisions and monitors back then gives the 1440x1080 resolution instead of 1920x1080 but I can tell you it is not 1080p. It looks blurry, upscaled and at best, looks like a 640x480 resolution scene stretched.
That's what I mean by strength being the weakness. That Rocco and Carolyn scene is a great scene but until someone figures out how to upscale a 480p video, I wouldn't mess with it. I can always resize my VLC player or Windows Media Classic player to stretch it some. Instead, you get scenes that are stretched and there's no way to ... unstretch them.
Dorcel has also had sites as far back as the early 2000s. The content on Dorcel Club is a blend of it and even his content from the pre-internet days.
It also has some or most of his newest DVDs. His content is so far spread out it's hard to know if there are other newer DVDs that aren't here.
A key word/acronym in this review is DVD. This is a DVD site. It's why I'm going to list the different series and how many scenes each has. Models without pictures is also a problem and shows this is a DVD site.
Here are the series with their number of scenes in parenthesis:
40th Anniversary (49), One Night in Paris (11), Luxure (62), 40 Years Old (48), Pornochic (156), Escort Deluxe (28), Desire of Submission (27), Russian Institute (113), Fuck VIP (46), Dorcel Airlines (20), Dorcel Girls (99), Cult Movies (93), Club Xtreme (21), Secretary (74), Vintage (74), Nurses (37), French Maids (52), Welcome to Jail (11), For Couples (34), Orgy (119), Making of (94), Outdoor Sex (24), Lesbian (92), Big Boobs (63), MILF (84), Students (116), Fantasies (308), Family Secrets (20), Story of (37), Dorcel Prestige (129) and Anal (50).
What I focused on was the 119 orgy scenes. Something you will notice is the names started becoming more generic and more like niches, for example 50 Anal scenes. I would estimate half of the scenes on here have anal in them. It's like someone got lazy and just started using generic names like anal, public sex and big boobs.
I just think this could all be put together a lot better than it is. If I had to make a direct comparison, I would compare Dorcel's style to a blend of Viv Thomas and DDF. The content is good but the site itself is questionable.
There is a new scene added every 2-3 days and the models are like a who's who list of models but you will run into the problem where it lists a model as having X amount of videos, only to find out she only has Y amount.
It's a worth a join for the orgy scenes or if you're a collector of certain models. Just be prepared to go through some hassles of scrolling and trying to find what you're looking for.

Pros:
Beautiful women in glamorous and tasteful clothing in almost every scene. Production values and HD content are excellent. You won't find women wearing athletic tube socks and worn and frayed Daisy Dukes (severely cut off jeans for those not familiar with that term) and the men are tastefullly dressed as well. Far and above the class of most of the other "plot oriented" studios. All the women are European or east European but all are beautiful. Definitely a positive feature in my book.
Cons:
My only cons are personal preferences of mine. I know that there is a wide range of porn viewers who will disagree with my tastes in porn so I believe individuals should judge the productions on their own.
Bottom Line:
This is a great site with outstanding production values combined with beautiful women and handsome stars. This is an excellent website for couples, women, and those of us who like "plot oriented" films and vignettes.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
-Relatively inexpensive compared to other Euro sites.
-Good age range: 20 to 50 years old with the average running from late 20s to early 30s.
-Few tattoos compared to their American counterparts.
-Thankfully, few size one types with most gals in the pink of health. No one appears trashed by dissipation and intemperate living.
-The three main attactions for myself: European locations, euro models in general and Anissa Kate in particular. Here, she appears in 54 scenes. Drool.
Cons:
-Files labeled MP4-HD-720P always downloaded as unreadable FLV files in my dozen tries.
-Most pre-2013 stuff is only available in an MP4 of 240. That's only acceptable if they are hosting files from 2002. This would be deal breaker at any other site or at least a score of just 50 if I wasn't determined to mine the Anissa Kate files.
-A lot of enhanced tits by second tier clinics.
Bottom Line:
I enjoy viewing porn that doesn't hail from porn central, the San Frenando Valley. As an American, I find overseas locations and women quite exotic. That said, there's maybe a dozen US women on display. Even if you haven't been overseas, many scenes have that feel, that air of being outside the US.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
Good quality, wide-ranging and exclusive content that dates from the present way back to the 1990s.
Where scenes are from full movies, the name of the movie is listed.
Regular updates and advance notice of coming updates.
Very attractive models, mostly Euro-babes though some US and UK performers - some of the girls you won't see on any other site.
Plenty of anal and DP if that's your thing.
Plenty of girls wearing stockings.
All videos are at least 1280x720 size.
Videos can be streamed or downloaded.
Photos (where available in the latest videos) are extremely hi-res.
Good download speeds, file sizes not overly large.
More recent downloadable photos are extremely high-res.
Search and navigation are decent, if nothing special, can bookmark videos as favourites.
Can browse all videos or browse by category.
No restrictions on downloads and works with download managers (I used Firefox DownThemAll extension).
Decent mobile site.
Cons:
Older 720 content is Flash video format (.FLV) instead of MP4.
Many scenes are from full movies so continuity sometimes not great and often there's no build-up, just the scene cutting into the action.
Where a scene is from a movie, not all scenes from that movie are available on this site.
Models can't be bookmarked as favourites.
Content is duplicated between categories.
Most if not all dialogue is in French, but hardly surprising as Dorcel is a French porn producer.
Other than the very earliest content, condoms are used, which some may not like but not really an issue for me personally.
No creampie or cumming inside the girls, but then that's a consequence of condoms and safe sex.
The bitrate used for the HD video encoding is quite low, which means smaller file sizes but reduced quality.
Mobile site has no support for favourites, so not possible to add favourites for later viewing on your phone or tablet.
Bottom Line:
A great site with original content, in most scenes if a cock enters a pussy it'll also enter the ass, so anal/DP lovers are well served.
The site is divided into categories such as French Maid, Dorcel Airlines (stewardesses getting fucked), Orgies, Russian Institute (school-girls), MILFS, Pornochic, Lesbian and more, though there is a lot of overlap between categories - if you're not bothered you can just ignore the categories and browse the content: there are 6 videos per page and 229 pages in this site so there are well over 1300 videos to choose from.
Many of the girls wear stockings (which I always love) but often they're wearing suspenders rather than hold-ups, so the stockings tend to bunch up and go all wrinkly below the knee, which just looks awful as far as I'm concerned, and turns me right off the scene.
The downloaded video file sizes are quite small compared with other sites, this is due to the lower than average bitrate used for encoding: most 720p content from other sites is encoded at 4000bps for good quality but the clips on this site use 2000bps which significantly reduces file size but means that the video looks a little soft; it's the same for the 1080p content which is encoded at 3000bps rather than the usual 6000bps or 8000bps. It does mean that downloads are faster and consume less space on your PC (and on Dorcel's media servers too) and to be honest, I'm not watching porn for razor-sharp video quality so I feel the decision to use a lower than average bit-rate is a sound one. Some sites, like blacked.com go over the top with 8000bps-encoded 720p video files - totally unnecessary.
SD download options are 432x240, 864x480 and 960x544.
HD download options are 1280x720, 1920x1088 and 4K - trying to playback a 4K clip froze my system but that's probably due to the age of my PC and the low-powered video card.
3D content available as DIVX download if your hardware supports it.
I joined this site using a discount code found using google so it was great value at USD 19.99, but at the full price I'd say it's reasonable value.
One gripe is that the movies from which much of the content originates are not available to fully download from this site, you have to visit another Dorcel site to buy the movie, which is very expensive compared with this site.
If you're into behind-the-scenes footage then you'll like this site as there's plenty of it.
I'll sum up but saying that this is a great site with plenty of hardcore content but if you like your porn scenes to be conventional, with a start/build-up before the action begins then you might be disappointed with much of the content, in particular those clips from Dorcel movies.
