| Pros: |
- Large site with lots of content
- Big name actresses
- Hidden gems are there waiting to be discovered (Jayma Reid, tons of Prinzess, Elexis Monroe, etc.)
- Download managers allowed |
| Cons: |
- Video quality is absolutely horrible. The top offering often looks like what you'd watch on free popup-filled tube sites, and sometimes worse. More below.
- Logs you out a couple of times a day and you have to enter captcha to re-enter
- Dead links, repeated names, poor oversight of website
- Most video sizes are huge for such low-quality clips.
- Scenes are often fairly uninspired
- No photo options (view or download) that I could find |
| Bottom Line: |
If you've seen any of the Mother Daughter Exchange Club clips you may understand why I was excited about this membership. They have 30 pages (w/30+ clips per page) of content going back to 1999 available on the site, so it held a lot of promise.
Sadly, it lasts right up until a day or two after you join. There were some technical issues like dead links, but those things happen occasionally and can be overlooked. The big problem was much more obvious.
There are lots of talented and attractive actresses, but often the scenes are underwhelming. Too often they come across as actresses getting paid to say these specific lines and lick these specific parts. That would be okay if the details were filmed better and showed more of the action, but unfortunately that doesn't happen very much, either. It ended up being a tremendous disappointment, and the reason is simple: The quality of the majority of their clips is pitiful, and it makes the entire site such a letdown that you'll probably stop visiting it less than halfway through your membership period.
Example:
One would hope the site has access to the source material for the films, but even if they don't I'm fairly certain the company has access to at least one copy of the DVDs they are making available for download. We'll use MDEC #6 for this. There are four clips offered, with the 360p options averaging 500MB or so. The 480p options are around 1GB each.
Don't miss that: A ~30 minute 480p option is one gigabyte.
Remember, the DVD itself would only be 4.5GB, but they have DVD or near-DVD sized files while still looking like free tube site videos. This makes no sense considering the DVDs are sharp and clear, and a quick google search would yield tons of free rippers that would convert the entire movie to 700MB and probably still end up with better quality.
(And who knows what professional options are available for ripping those same DVDs to offer on the site.)
Instead you get dark, bad-looking individual clips at 500MB-1GB that you'll probably only watch to see a favorite actress, and then it will be deleted and/or forgotten about soon after because it's simply not worth re-watching.
Of the 30+ pages of content, only the five or so most recent pages offer HD. FWIW, even those HD clips are way too big (2GB 720p scenes)
There is quite a bit of tribbing and old/young matchups, but eroticism is often lacking. Another problem is lack of attention to lighting and what is happening in the scene. Masturbation or oral action is often blocked, and when it is open and visible it's difficult to see because the lighting is usually fair to poor. Combine the lighting choices with bad encoding and you'll end up regretting downloading most of the scenes you decided to get.
Again, it's especially sad to realize you could just as easily have been offered the entire DVD at better quality and a similar size to one of the crappy 360p clips.
FWIW, I've seen clips for sale at VOD sites, so I'm fairly certain decent, and likely even high, quality examples exist.
Bottom line: The site has so much potential. Newer videos, while still overly huge, are okay quality-wise, but the total content isn't worth it. If you do join I'd probably suggest only downloading clips from 2015 and on, but so much content is excluded with that caveat that it saddens me to say I probably wouldn't recommend joining in the first place. You're likely better off finding the actresses you enjoy and just buying the single scene or the cheap DVD they're in. |

|
| Pros: |
- Quite a bit of BG hardcore
- Apparently more than a few HD offerings
- Guest appearances by other big names
- Photos available as zip files |
| Cons: |
- Like most sites these days, the website is a little busy at times (script and such)
- Ads inside paywall
- No longer updating (stopped in 2015)
- Strangely, not many photos |
| Bottom Line: |
What a weird and unexpected site. This is possibly the first site from Open Life Network that might possibly, maybe, potentially be worth joining at a greatly reduced price if you're a hardcore collector of Devon Lee material.
There are 75 or so videos. If I had to guess, I'd say the most recent 25-30 are offered in high definition.
I was also surprised to find quite a bit of smoking fetish material in the site. It's not my thing and I'm not sure if the content justifies joining, but it's there and nice to see they sort of made an effort to add some interesting content.
The other sort of nice discovery was content with her not wearing a lot of makeup. I'm sure there was enough to keep the lighting correct or what have you, but there are scenes of how she honestly, truly looks, and it was quite nice.
The last update appears to be from 2015, so that's fairly typical with these Open Life Network sites. They're all pretty much dead, and you shouldn't expect any updates.
Most of the other Open Life caveats apply, too. The older videos are fairly mediocre in quality and, while there aren't download limits, there are pretty limited downloads. You can probably download the entire site in a weekend or even just a few hours if you've got a fast connection. Yes, you'll have access to other sites on the network, but they're not that great, either. You can see my reviews for Ashley Fires, Bree Olson, and others on the network to get a sense of what to expect. Most of the others were written as a warning, though, and this one might be the first one that I am writing as (just barely) a recommendation.
Would I recommend? I don't know. My first instinct is no, but this might have some stuff that really, REALLY dedicated Devon Lee fans would like, and it might even be exlusive and hard to come by. If you're a big fan flip through the pages and see if it's stuff you don't have and can't live without. If so, see if you can get on a mailing list for a greatly reduced rate because the site, even with additional network sites, really isn't worth $15/month. But it might be if you just can't stand not having every single thing Ms. Lee has ever done.
It's a very firm "probably not but maybe" I suppose. 60% probably not and 40% maybe. |

|
| Pros: |
- 100 or so videos
- Photos and photo zips available for some clips
- Some clips that I would guess are fairly exclusive |
| Cons: |
- Small site
- Pages wouldn't always load or load correctly.
- Horrible 360p maximum resolution for most videos
- Of the 100 or so videos, there are fewer than 40 photo sets
- Lots of filler. BTS, masturbation, etc. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm a pretty big Ashley Fires fan, and this site was a disappointment to me. There were some keeper videos and photos here and there, but there doesn't seem to be much of a motivation to keep members. Or, I suppose, to get new ones when you factor in the notion that people might be leaving reviews telling other potential subscribers what to expect and why it's not worth spending their money on.
One of the worst things, and that's really saying a lot for an OpenLife Network site, is that there are more than a few photos that, when clicked on, are what appear to be the thumbnails blown up to whatever "photo" size they're supposed to be. Blocky and jarringly bad, and not something that someone would intentionally post as a photo. Think of the Japanese blurring of naughty bits. Now apply it to the entire photo. It looks like that.
If you're still not getting a good image (ha) of what I'm trying to convey, go to your picture collection, open any thumbnail image, and press ctl and "+" ten or twelve times.
That.
Pros? Sure. Pros include having some photo sets you may not have seen before, and offering what I have to assume are fairly exclusive video clips. The problem, at least regarding the exclusive video clips, is who really cares? There are video clips of performances in strip clubs, which I guess is fine. Somebody may really, REALLY want to see that sort of stuff, so good for them for offering it. Except it's in glorious 360p, which is nearly unwatchable. But that's not the worst of it. Part of the padding is giving subscribers the exclusive opportunity to watch exclusive video clips like film of the audience during the filming of said exclusive performances in strip clubs. In 360p.
Yep. You get access to exclusive video of old men with mustaches and balding heads as they stand behind the barricades to watch strippers. Even better, you get to watch the old, balding men in 360p.
(I'd never considered that low-res stripper POV, as in from the POV of the stripper, might be a fetish, but I guess you should join this site right now if that's your thing.)
There are some HD videos. It looks like about half, which is nice, but since the site doesn't appear to be updating any longer (there are no dates associated with the videos that I saw, and the rep confirmed it back in 2014), it will remain half for the rest of time.
Sadly, the webmaster's 2014 reply in the comment section to the right sort of sums up the problem. Quote: " I love Ashley Fires. Lets hope that she comes back with new content! That would be awesome!"
But IAFD shows Ashley is still working, and still doing work for myxxxpass.com as recently as this year, and myxxxpass.com is affiliated with the openlife network (more about that in my future tragi-comedy Manuel Ferrara review, though).
She has worked. She's apparently even worked for, if not THESE people, people directly connected to these people. It's never going to be on this site, though. This site is old, stale, outdated stuff, and it looks like there will never be any updates.
It's not the worst Open Life Network site I've encountered, but it might have suffered more because of it. They look like they sort of tried on this site, and it comes across as equally crappy when compared to ___________ (insert almost any other openlife blatant cashgrab site here).
They really, truly tried with ashleyfires.com, and it's still not worth joining.
Avoid. |

| Status: |
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
- Fills a niche
- HD content is available in the more recent updates (720 or 1080 IIRC)
- Exclusive material
- Early stuff has decent energy.
- Um... Was easy to join and cancel?
- Let's see... Still updating every so often? |
| Cons: |
- A listed download limit of 50GB/day, but it can and will apparently be lowered if you do unknown things that aren't mentioned in the terms. Good luck!
- Download managers aren't allowed.
- Not many updates
- It appears to have become a (lucrative, and good for her) job, and that has taken some of the energy and excitement away. It's not too hard for the different scenes to become similar, repetitious, and boring
- The same scene will be separated in order to pretend the single video is multiple updates because it was cut in half (or thirds). |
| Bottom Line: |
Naughty Alysha:
The Naughty Alysha site is focused mostly on an attractive middle aged woman who enjoys large toys, fisting, anal, going to adult video stores to have sex with lots of men, etc. There are some gloryhole scenes as well as gangbangs, and there will often be footage of the semen-covered departure out into the parking lot.
There are some good scenes, but I found the early ones to be the best because it didn't seem to be approached as a job. 2010 and before, when her hair was shoulder length and occasionally curly, were the best clips for energy but, of course, the worse clips for quality and crisp resolution.
There aren't a lot of updates. Looking at the site, here are the most recent updates:
Added 07/03/2017 (toys)
Added 06/20/2017 (toys)
Added 06/05/2017 (toys)
Added 05/17/2017 (MF)
Added 05/05/2017 (toys?)
Added 04/25/2017 (MF, 2nd half?)
Added 04/06/2017 (MF, 1st half?)
Added 03/17/2017 (gangbang)
You get the idea. Two a month or so if you count the halves as separate.
The more recent clips are available in HD if you're interested in feeling out the download limits and potential 24 hour bans.
Alysha and Jenny Jizz are the most active sites on the affiliated network, and the two often team up in clips.
As is the case with all sites on the network, there is a 50GB or less download limit each day, and download managers aren't allowed.
The bad is covered in the overall network review. I gave a few points for exclusivity and the good older stuff even with all of the limitations and stagnant site, so that's where the 63 came from.
Speaking of the network...
Pornicate:
Pornicate as a network is, as I mentioned, seeming to only update Naughty Alysha and Jenny Jizz stuff recently. Jenny Jizz seems to be the most active, and Jenny does essentially all the same stuff that Alysha does. Roxy Raye and her butt-stuff is in the network, and there are some other minor players as well. The sites' content offerings are hit are miss. There may be some videos without photos, or there may be photos without videos, or there may just be a few photos for you to look at online and with no download options for anything. Worse, some of the choices would appear to just be poorly lit, posed, or captured shots that the photographer was going to delete before the webmaster or actress said, "Wait! Don't throw those in the trash! I can put them on my site!"
Some strange and surprising older clips/pics are used as filler for the network. A Nella photo set popped up (late '90s?). Another, and I don't remember who it was, I remember seeing was a photo set of a now well-known porn star when she was just starting out. Young, gorgeous, and with her natural breasts. There was no other content including her and it had nothing to do with anything else. It was just some old content that had been purchased and put on the site.
The elephant in the room? The download limit. In mid-2017 it's listed as 50GB/day.
The FCC classifies broadband internet access as 25Mbps. If you don't have that, your connection is the modern equivalent of dial-up back around the year 2000.
25Mbps can download 50GB of 1GB+ HD clips in four hours. So, if you have broadband access, you can potentially use the site for four hours each day. If you have 100Mbps service you can use the site for less than an hour.
I understand concerns about content theft --- and, if we're honest, trying to milk another month or two out of customers--- but making a site so inconvenient to use that legitimate, paying customers give up and will never consider returning may not be the best approach, either.
mbaya has a review on the Roxy Raye page if you care to read another opinion of the network.
Bottom line: 56 or so if I had a place to score it. Avoid. |

|
| Pros: |
- Pictures available
- Some hd content
- Um... Let me think... No download limits? Yeah. No download limit. |
| Cons: |
- Small site
- No longer updating
- Most videos are low quality |
| Bottom Line: |
Boy, I sure do like Dylan Ryder. Sure the fake breasts take away from the overall glamour of such an attractive woman, but I understand the direction the adult industry has gone. Hey, maybe since this is Dylan Ryder's official site there will be lots of content with her natural breasts and maybe some hair down... Oh, wait. Nevermind. I forgot that the Openlife.com network doesn't really do content or updates.
Let's see, the last update is listed as 2013.
Content-wise, there are 25 or so hi definition clips out of the 60-ish video total on the site. There's a decent mix of solo, lesbian, and M/F, but there are still only 60 or so clips available, and more than half are low quality. And when I say low quality I don't mean not HD. I mean early 2000s dial-up thumbnail gallery advertisement quality. The content may be exclusive, but I'm guessing you'd do much better spending your $20 at bang.com (40 Dylan Ryder clips listed) where you also get a few thousand other actresses on the network, too.
It looks like there are fewer than 20 photo sets. It's a shame because some of the photo sets are very well done. Most are glam sets and the approach really suits her. She's a very attractive, very nicely shaped older woman who should do more of this work. The sets are available for downloading as zip files, too.
I don't think that's enough to warrant a recommendation, but the photos are solidly in the "pro" column. It's just a shame that something that should be a given on an adult site has to be marked as a "pro" and focused on so heavily because other "pro" things are so hard to come by when reviewing the site.
Recommendation? Avoid. |

| Pros: |
- Decent selection of genres/movies/scenes. Lots of euro stars.
- Magma and Pinko were pretty much the entire reason I joined.
- They claim you'll get access to another site after each month of your membership. |
| Cons: |
- Can't tell too much of a difference beyond size between HD and non-HD clips, and I suspect they're all just DVD rips by someone who doesn't know/care.
- Logs you out every half hour and you fill out a captcha to login. Every. Single. Time. And 50% of the time the captcha will tell you it was wrong even if you know you entered it correctly.
- PITA to use overall.
- Slow and unresponsive.
- Every downloaded clip is named something like "scene_hd" or "scene_sd_high". No numbers, no nothing. You will have no idea which movie, scene, or actress is involved.
- Broken or missing links.
- Actresses show up as having X number of scenes, but that's apparently over the network as a whole (and it doesn't point you in the direction of the other sites/scenes). A site showing six scenes for a particular actress may just have one clip available. |
| Bottom Line: |
Possibly the most irritating and poorly conceived and executed pay site/network I've ever joined.
Captcha login requirements every twenty minutes or so.
Random dead links.
Download links missing entirely for some scenes.
Frequent "Site down for maintenance" and 503 errors when trying to login. Then the site is immediately available upon refresh.
Download managers won't work because download links change rapidly. If it took 15 minutes to download one movie the next one will give you an error message because the link no longer works or the system has already logged you out.
Quite a few movies wouldn't finish downloading because link was apparently killed *during* the download.
Every picture ZIP file I downloaded was corrupted and would not unzip.
Some download links downloaded entire movies that the scene was pulled from (but note there is no option anywhere to download the whole movie), and some scenes were missing download links for the scene entirely.
Out of a dozen or so pages of actresses listings on the individual sites, the last half (or more) won't even have photos associated with the name. Just the same blank silhouette for everyone. If you're lucky you can click on it and wait for the really unresponsive website to load and maybe show a thumbnail of a scene showing her face, though.
-------
This network has tremendous potential, but it's too much trouble to use. It *may*, might, maybe, POSSIBLY be worth the $36 annual special I've seen offered, but even then you're going to be constantly irritated unless the site owners make some major changes to make things more user friendly. |

| Pros: |
- Allows download manager (DTA)
- Decent download speeds when accessible.
- Some photo sets are zipped. |
| Cons: |
Some truly unattractive women. 50% or more if I had to guess. Not beer-goggles women. I mean actual homely and/or fat and homely women. It's easy to pick out the (attractive) pros' videos because they're the ones you don't squint and scroll past.
***HORRIBLE VIDEO QUALITY***. The highest setting looks to be 640x426 @ 2700kbps WMV, and most vids are around 100MB. Think 1998. Remember the old free Bang Bus clips you'd find in xxx galleries? Yep, that bad.
Add to that poor lighting, bad angles, etc.
Seriously, the video quality is so bad that sometimes I only knew the guy had orgasmed because I saw a change in the woman's stroking tempo.
Joined on Saturday morning. Their server was overwhelmed and inaccessible by 9am and I couldn't view any pages until that evening. Fortunately:
Very little content available. Divide that by half (unless you like homely women in low-res videos) and you've got an entire network that you can browse and download in less than 1/2 a da |
| Bottom Line: |
Avoid.
Overpriced and outdated. Fortunately I clicked through to the signup page and then attempted to leave. I was offered 10 days for $10 and decided to try it.
I still feel a bit ripped off because one day is all you need. Clubtug has 13 pages with 12 vids each. Cumblastcity, seemomsuck, and over40handjobs have less than a dozen pages total with 12 vids on each page. I'd give you an exact number, but the server is inaccessible again.
UPDATE 1/22/12- Total pages of the four sites mentioned above is 30, with 12 (fewer if it's the last page) vids on each, and many repeats between sites.
My DTA queue has just over 200 videos lined up for download and I've seen every page. If I saturated my DSL line I could've had the entire network (well, all I wanted) downloaded in a few hours.
BTW, many of those other sites have repeats. Maybe only 35% of the videos are worth getting after you factor in the ugly girls and the redundancies.
I can only go on my opinion, and no one can account for personal taste. I like clavicles, tan-lines, and almost-invisible hair in backlit photos of thighs. Other people won't find that appealing. But dang there are some unattractive women on this site. More power to you if that's your thing, but I'm guessing you could find an ugly woman site with higher quality videos and photos.
That said, the photos are occasionally decent, although they're web-viewing size only. It doesn't redeem the site, but it should be mentioned. Unfortunately not every video has photos, and those that do aren't always zipped and available for downloading unless you're willing to click and save each individual photo.
Not recommended. |

| Pros: |
- Some HD videos
- Photos available occasionally
- Download managers work
- A few big names |
| Cons: |
- No longer updating
- Errors when you go to view some photos.
- Lots of BTS/Interview filler clips.
- One of the more disappointing networks you'll find. |
| Bottom Line: |
A very disappointing network. It has lots of big names and apparently owns the rights to their literal names to use for the websites, but they're no longer updating anything and quite of the content at the named sites is old, borderline unwatchable because the resolution is worse than a tube site, or just boring. It's not a bait and switch, but it's sort of like getting a bag of fake Legos. Yes, they sometimes stick together, and some might even stack with the real stuff, but they're disappointing and noticeably deficient.
Here's something fun to get a feel for the site:
Click to visit the site. Arrange the videos by date so that you see the most recent first, the initial video is a behind the scenes clip. A lovely curly haired brunette in a sexy catsuit. Awesome. Until you realize that it has no corresponding non-BTS video available for viewing.
Worse? It's from 2015. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say the network isn't updating, and hasn't updated, for nearly three years.
There are 100 pages of videos, and each page has 15 clips. So there are quite a few videos available.
Strange navigation and designation choices. For example, a video from ashleyfires.com will be listed as from Openlife.com, while a video from sunnyleaone.com will be listed as such. Not a big deal, but fairly indicative of what to expect from the site. Other little things pop up, too. You'll find a video offered from tealconrad.com, but tealconrad.com isn't one of the sites available in your dropdown list.
Others are things like clicking a video and getting: "Page not found - The page you requested has been moved, deleted or does not exist. Please choose a section in the menu to navigate through the website."
There's no way to know how many clips are offered in hi definition, but around halfway through the pages I was finding 360p and HD clips next to one another.
There are 60+ pages of 20 photo sets available, which is nice. Maybe. If they're actually there.
Apparently there used to be more sites. Or more sites were planned. Who knows. There are brunob.com clips listed that give "not found" error messages when you click on them.
Comically, choosing "Upcoming Videos" really sums the site up. Here's the error:
"No Results!"
Bottom line? Avoid. |

|
| Pros: |
- Photos that might be exclusive
- Zip files seem to be available for the sets I browsed
- Many boy-girl sets |
| Cons: |
- Probably only 30 or so videos
- Low resolution video clips
- Ads inside the paid area
- Small site overall |
| Bottom Line: |
TL;DR version- Another website in the openlife network to steer clear of. The regular problems. No updates, poor video quality, low content overall, etc. Avoid.
Expanded review:
The videos are almost all mostly unwatchable. This seems to be a common theme to the videos on the openlife network, so it's nothing to be surprised by.
You'll also discover videos that are incomplete. One eight minute clip with the lovely Haley Cummings comes to mind. It's one of the few offered in better than 360p (720 and 1080), but it's incomplete. Ms. Calogera and Haley Cummings perform oral sex on a stunt cock for a few minutes, then there is a little bit of sex, and then the video fades out and ends. No finale, nothing. Just fade out and that's that.
There is no rhyme or reason to video quality, either. A quick look shows that a video from 2012 is only offered in 360p or worse, while one from 2010 has 720p and 1080p options.
Which brings up another con (or maybe a pro if you're desperately searching for the one or two high definition clips on the site): The site is very small. There are only 30 or so video clips. On the bright side, you won't have to spend much time scanning through and opening every video link to see which ones are HD.
Something that might be the biggest pro: There are quite a few photo sets. I'd estimate 25 or so. Some of them are in very high resolution and with pages and pages of photos available.
Bottom line: Avoid. Even if you're a huge fan, avoid unless you can get the entire network for a buck or two, and even then make sure you wouldn't rather just rent a movie or videogame from Redbox instead. |

| Pros: |
- That feeling you get the very first time you log on as a member to the website of one of the older, classier purveyors of adult material who has shown the ability to combine eroticism, beauty, and proper cinematic techniques to create some of the better adult films in circulation since the '60s.
- Um...
- Not constant login requests like a few other big name sites.
- If a grad student were researching "how companies unintentionally encourage the pirating of their material" then I'd recommend visiting this website. I think it could be an extremely useful example. |
| Cons: |
- 250KB/s max on a 6Mbps DSL connection. ~150KB/s most of the time.
- You're not allowed to queue downloads, so you'll only be able to get whatever you sit and monitor and click (and re-click when it fails) to download. Maybe you'll be able to get 8 scenes per day.. Maybe twelve?
- Constant "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" errors if you try to look at other pages after beginning a download. The site supposedly allows four connections, but I ran into trouble with less.
- Repeated "size mismatch" errors when using download managers.
- A laughably small collection of movies for a 50 year old company.
- 350 movies wouldn't be so bad if they were decent quality, but most are comparable to early 2000's VCDs. Yep. That poor. I'd estimate only 25% or so are HD.
- You'll be lucky to download the HD movies without the connection failing or the speed dropping to 0kbps, and, when it does, you'll be lucky to resume. If you can, guess what? You start over. Hooray |
| Bottom Line: |
Videobox has almost 300 Private videos available, consistently fast connection speeds (600kbps+), and the .264 quality is better than Private.com's standard quality. Not to mention you can use download managers at VB and queue up dozens of movies to view later. It looks like they offer HD now, too, so there is absolutely no advantage to joining this site. It's a frustrating waste of money.
Seriously, don't do it. You'll be disappointed that the site even exists and you'll think to yourself, "Wow, I just wasted $30" or "I could've put that money towards a _______ membership."
Consider yourself warned.
A bad experience.
A waste of money.
Stay away. |

| Pros: |
- Quite a few photo sets available for some of the corresponding videos (see first paragraph, though).
- Photos available as zip file (again, see first paragraph).
- Possibly some exclusive content.
- Lots of behind the scenes stuff if that's your thing. Maybe even exclusive BTS stuff if that's your thing. |
| Cons: |
- The photo sets will have fewer than ten pictures.
- Broken links and other site foul-ups
- Lots of behind the scenes stuff that can seem like filler if that's not your thing. |
| Bottom Line: |
There are photos and zips available for the scenes, which is good. Unfortunately, the photo sets and zips that I bothered to click on had fewer than a dozen photos. I'd say closer to eight in the ones I looked at.
There are 150 or so videos. Quite a few appear to be behind the scenes and interview type clips, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were exclusive. Because why wouldn't they be? Who else would want them?
I'd say fewer than 25 of the 150 videos are offered in HD. The rest are 360p.
FWIW, I didn't click on every single video. I didn't see the point after seeing that they appeared to be low res leftovers. I DID take a sample to make sure I was not being overly critical. One from 2008 is 360p. It looks like garbage and is mostly unwatchable. There is another video option, though. 160p. And if you think the 360p looks bad, just wait until you get a chance to see something that's half as good. Clicking on the last page to check the updates, you discover that the last "page" is a direct link to a video. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be a page full of other updates. Something with a number on the bottom to move to the other pages. Nope. It goes to a scene clip. But hey, who cares? You paid, so the site probably served it's purpose.
Are there positives? Yeah, sort of. If you are a big fan of her and want every single thing she's ever done, then you'll probably find an unwatchable clip or two here to never watch after you download them.
Would I recommend? Absolutely not. Just another Open Life cash grab. |

| Pros: |
- Some decent resolution photos with the video sets.
- Even better, photo sets in zip files for the ones I checked.
- Seems large-ish for an Open Life Network site. |
| Cons: |
- Access/uptime is spotty. "Error 521 web server is down".
- Lots of filler behind-the-scenes/masturbation type clips.
- "Large" for an Open Life Network site still only means 50 or so videos.
- Crappy video resolution on the few samples I checked. |
| Bottom Line: |
This seems like one of the larger Open Life sites. Don't misunderstand and think that's a recommendation or that this is some great, huge thing that deserves your money. Just that, when compared to the other tiny cash grab sites on their network, this one seems like a larger one.
I found the site down a couple of times. Not a huge deal, but also not something you like to see as a paying customer.
The worst part of the site is the low resolution videos. This appears to be a common problem with most, if not all, Open Life Network sites, and part of the reason I found it appropriate to review each individually. Someone joining Hannah Hilton might not check the broad network review, much less Ashley Fires, Abbey Brooks, etc., to know that each site is almost complete crap. Hannah Hilton is no different. There are some photos, and some decent photos, but the majority of the videos are borderline unwatchable. Maximum 360p clips are definitely unacceptable on a paysite in 2017, and of the three samples I grabbed (random video from page one, random one from middle of page list, and random video from last page), all of them were 360p. So yes, there are quite a few videos of the lovely Ms. Hilton available, but none are worth the time or effort to watch unless you're a HUGE fan or just like video quality from around 1998 or so.
There are ads on the site behind the paywall, but you discover you don't care because there's not really much to keep you coming back to the site, anyway.
There are quite a few photos sets, and the ones I saw had zip files available for downloading. That's nice, but it's not enough to justify spending any money or time at the site.
That's probably the ultimate bottom line, now that I think about it. I usually try to type out a summary, but I think that's it. Some good photo sets, but not worth the price of admission.
Very disappointing. Avoid. |

| Pros: |
- A few HD video clips.
- Photos are available for some of the videos, and some photo sets are even available as zip files.
- I suspect some, or even all, of the material is exclusive.
- I think there's one exclusive HD boy-girl scene here if you're a hardcore collector with money to spend. |
| Cons: |
- Most videos appear to be 480p or worse.
- Only a few boy-girl scenes.
- Small site.
- Photos for some sets appear to be screengrabs of the video.
- Ads inside the pay area.
- Lots of low-res solo stuff.
- Updates? Ha. Don't be silly. I saw no evidence of such things.
- Other sites offer more of her content, plus hundreds of thousands of other clips if you happen to enjoy other attractive women, too. |
| Bottom Line: |
Mmm, the lovely Charmane Star. What a great opportunity to get some exclusive videos and photos featuring such a striking young woman.
Such a shame you should probably look somewhere other than charmanestar.com if you're interested in her material, though. Honestly. Videosz.com shows over 100 clips featuring her, and I'd be shocked if they don't look much better than the low-res ones offered here. Don't misunderstand me, though. I'm sure there are some exclusive videos and photos at this site, and I honestly wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that it's all exclusive content. I'm just not certain they're worth spending the money on unless you're a CRAZY big fan of this lovely young woman.
The site has 30 or so videos and a similar number of photo sets available. The weird part is that at least one of the photo sets looks to be a repeat. I didn't care enough to investigate and compare any further, but the thumbnail and titles are the same, so one can guess it's the same set being repeated. Is it intentional to pad the numbers or accidental and just an oversight? Or is it just incompetence and poor web design on a site and network that arguably shouldn't even exist in the first place? Hard to say. Can it be both?
The site appears to offer three or four boy / girl scenes, and only one of those was offered in better than 480p. The rest of the clips are solo, lesbian, and behind the scenes types. All of that is fine, too. Just know what you're subscribing to.
One of the more amusing (and bizarre) elements of the site was that the photo section is titled "ASIAN PORN PICS" while other uh, less asian actresses on other Open Life Network sites just have "PHOTOS" at the top of their photo pages.
It looks like there are fewer than ten HD videos.
On the pro side of things, and so this doesn't seem completely contrarian (although it should certainly be read and understood as 95% contrarian), there were zip files available for the photo sets I clicked on, the photos looked nice and were professionally done, and I didn't encounter any download limits or very slow speeds. Full disclosure, though: I doubt they would enforce strict download limits on the 1GB or so that I downloaded. These positives are reflected in my score and raised the site five points to a solid 56.
If you like paying for five to ten mediocre high definition videos an extremely limited number of low-res videos and a few photo sets, this place is just right. Otherwise I'd suggest avoiding the site and network. |

| Pros: |
- Attractive MILFs doing very naughty things.
- A HUGE amount of content. Sort of. Wait, no. Nevermind.
- Multiple download options. |
| Cons: |
- Downloads will begin but then often time out and fail.
- Site is no longer part of the larger network.
- Ads inside after you've entered the paywall. |
| Bottom Line: |
NO LONGER A CLONE SITE
Seduced by a Cougar is no longer a clone site. It is now officially a standalone, glorious, independent site that is not part of any network and which you have to purchase access to just because you like what this single site has to offer.
Sort of.
Because if movies of good looking big (fake) breasted women undressing down to lingerie before seducing younger guys is your thing, then buddy have I got a web site for you. All you've got to do is invent a time machine, travel back to this time last year, and you can enjoy everything this site has to offer. And boy, let me tell you, this time last year it offered a lot. This site was part of the Naughty America network, and you could see all of these lovely ladies PLUS the other 40 whatever sites on the network. $20/month for probably thousands of videos of all types of women in all types of scenarios, all filmed well, and the newer ones in HD. Let me tell you, it was a great network. One of the best. A, if not *the* top tier.
Oh, sorry. Let me get back to today's Seduced by a Cougar and Naughty America.
Now? Click the join button. See that little sentence at the top? The one that says "Become a member for this month's new releases."
They mean that literally.
Pay your $20 and you get this month's new releases. Let's see, that's... One video.
You get one video. Comically, that video is a re-encoded release of an old video.
Want more? Go back and look at the join page. Scroll down. Yeah, it's down past the screen cutoff, so I understand why you missed it. See the part where it says "Membership Upgrades Available Inside!"? They mean that literally, too. Your first membership fee is to allow you ACCESS to pay another membership fee if you want the stuff that's older than one month.
Go browse the NA forums. They're a trainwreck right now since they've moved to this new subscription model.
AVOID is too light of a word for this level of caution against joining, but it's the best I've got.

| Cons: |
- Most of the current download sizes are too large for the quality
- Downloads fail a lot.
- Lots of fake tits and goofy looking lip-injected mouths
- The elephant in the room: You get access to this month's videos with your membership fee
- Oh, and the site isn't part of the larger network anymore. |
| Bottom Line: |
NO LONGER A CLONE SITE
Now a glorious stand alone site that offers all of this month's videos! Hooray! Wait, this month's videos? That can't be right. Why in the world would I pay $20 for eight videos?
We'll get back to that in a moment.
If you are looking for a site that caters to your imagining that there is a well kept, nicely groomed, nicely dressed, gorgeous nymphomaniac MILF teacher out there just waiting to take advantage of you, then this WAS the site for you. It's not anymore, unfortunately. Yes the videos are - technically - all there, but you can't have them. You just signed up for access to pay another fee to access the videos that are older than one month. Do you follow?
Put another way, Naughty America now expects users to pay an initial fee to get into their site in order to pay *another* fee to access the content. What used to cost users $20 for complete access to the entire network now costs over $1000 to replicate.
Go read their forums. They're open to the public. The funniest suggestion I've seen is that Naughty America is actively engaged in helping users quit their porn habit.
There are hundreds of videos here, but you can't access them with your membership fee. You can only get the first month's, which, as of 8-2-18, appears to be eight videos. In fairness, you also get other Naughty America sites' videos for that month, so you might have access to 50-70 or so total videos. But I'm assuming you were interested in the ones you thought you were actually paying for on the site you signed up to view.
That? Yeah, that's still eight videos.
Avoid. Don't get tricked by this deceptive approach, and don't encourage this business model with your dollars. |

| Pros: |
- Some really attractive women in nice clothes doing naughty things.
- High production values.
- Big name actresses and lesser-known talent.
- 500+ videos. Ha, just kidding. You can have 8 plus the option to buy access to the older ones. Want the 500? Pay up, sucker. No, pay up AGAIN. |
| Cons: |
- Seriously. It's July 22, and there are 8 clips you'll have access to if you "join" the site today.
- Older videos are low quality, but they're old enough to accept the technical limitations.
- Lots of fake tits.
- No network access anymore. |
| Bottom Line: |
No longer a clone site. No longer a network site, either. Now a glorious standalone and laughably expensive proposition like all the other NA sites.
---
Do you like good looking women, often MILFs, that come across looking like the librarian you always hoped you'd find back when you were 20 years old but finally accepted that never really existed? Do you enjoy the idea of gorgeous older women in silk blouses and miniskirts, and beneath those fancy clothes even fancier lingerie and stockings? Well this was the site for you. I mean, I guess it still *could* be, but it's not worth joining anymore now that Naughty America has changed their subscription policy so that you don't get sh*t with your subscription anymore.
You didn't think you were going to get access to the site just because you joined the site, did you? Ha. No, no. That's not how Naughty America sites work these days. These days you buy access to buy more access in order to try and get the content you thought you were going to have access to when you joined the site the first time. No, really. You buy access to the site, you get the videos from the last month, and you can buy ADDITIONAL access to videos older than a month. Your first expenditure was simply opening the door to the older videos. You know. The older videos on the site you thought you were buying a subscription for.
On the bright side, you possibly get whatever other videos Naughty America released on their other sites for that month, too, so you could potentially get as many as 50-100 videos with your (initial) membership fee. If you want to continue it another month you'll get those new videos, too. Well, not really "too." You'll lose access to the ones you had for your first month. Good luck!
Go read the Naughty America forums for insight into the debacle. They're open to the general public and you don't need to be a member to read the threads.
Add to this links that timeout and downloads that often won't complete and there is no way this site can be recommmended anymore.
Worse, it's no longer a network, so value-wise nothing related to Naughty America is worth joining now. Now it's over $1K/month to get what was available on the network just recently for only $20/month.

- Gorgeous MILFs filmed well

| Cons: |
- About those videos available for download...
- Downloads fail often
- Downloads not only fail while you're downloading, but the links time out often. Don't expect to use download managers to any effect here.
- Lots of fake breasts.
- Tons of ads. |
| Bottom Line: |
MOST IMPORTANT: NO LONGER CLONE SITE, AND NO LONGER A NETWORK
If gorgeous MILFs in formulaic action that is filmed competently using good clothing, lighting, and sets is appealing to you, then this is definitely a site that would've been worth pursuing before Naughty America decided to make their bizarre changes to their subscription model. Sorry you missed it. On the bright side, you get to potentially watch the collapse of one of the biggest adult networks in real time.
Myfriendshotmom.com is longer a clone site but now a full-on independent site requiring its own subscription. Not only that, it requires it's own subscription PLUS additional "channel" subscriptions if you want any content ***from the site you just paid to f*cking join*** that is beyond a month old. Seriously. The first subscription just buys you access to be able to buy the rest of the stuff.
Here is the disclosure at the signup page. Quote: "Become a member for this month's new releases."
Did you catch it? Yep. That's their new terms.
So let's see, it looks like... Nine videos. If you join today, July 17th, you'll have access to all the videos from the last month. Nine videos. There are 154 pages of videos listed, and assuming six videos per page, it looks like the site has well over 1000 videos with the oldest going back to 2004.
But your subscription will allow you access to nine of them and whatever other videos were released that month on the rest of the network. So expect 50-100 videos to be available to you, tops. And most of those are going to be on sites other than the one you joined. If you want more than that (also known as "an actual subscription to the site you subscribed to") you'll have to buy another subscription because, and I cannot stress this enough, the first subscription was just the entry fee to allow you to pay the second entry fee for the site you thought you were subscribing to the first time. Here's one of the statements on their new pricing policy. Notice especially the next to the last paragraph:
https://tour.naughtyamerica.com/media/you-have-questions-weve-got-answers-1576
I cannot warn you away from this site/network enough. What used to cost $20 or so a month is now $1K+ for the same content. Go read the Naughty America forum before you spend any money. It's open to the public.

| Pros: |
RIPOFF ALERT - BUYER BEWARE
- No longer a clone site
- Good production values for over a decade ago
- Some big name actresses of ten plus years ago |
| Cons: |
RIPOFF ALERT - BUYER BEWARE
- Most recent update was 2007
- No longer a clone site, so no more access to the rest of the network
- Video quality is worse than tube sites. Remember, the videos are over ten years old
- You may get to pay your $18 and have no access to the videos |
| Bottom Line: |
If the idea of an average to somewhat attractive to occasionally hot Hispanic woman coming into your apartment to do some light vacuuming before suddenly deciding to have sex with you is your idea of an exciting fantasy, this might be the place for you. Well, if you are also into dead sites that are no longer updating and that also have video quality that, while probably good for the time, look worse than tube sites these days. Oh, and with no network access to anything else. BUT, if all of that is what you're looking for, this is a site you may want to investigate.
Well, except for the part where Naughty America has changed their subscription policy to some sort of "channel" nonsense and now you only get access to new releases from the month you joined and anything else you have to pay extra for.
Quote:
"To all customers that purchased a membership after April 2nd,All content released in the month of April is now available with your membership.On May 1st, two actions will take place with this new membership cycle: April's new releases will gradually move into the vault and remain available for separate purchase.
May's new releases will become available to all memberships, releasing on a daily basis"
So you could ostensibly purchase a membership for My Naughty Latin Maid and have no access to any videos from My Naughty Latin Maid without paying extra for the videos that weren't released this month. In other words, all of them.
Good luck!
Bottom line?

Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
- They'll allow you access to a few VR clips
- Big name actresses
- Good production values
- They offer a few download options for different equipment |
| Cons: |
- They'll allow you access to a few VR clips. See below.
- The worst and most expensive network I'm aware of.
- Downloads fail often. |
| Bottom Line: |
Honestly, there's not really much to say about the videos. Big names, big production values, and quality offerings overall. You can look at the tour to see the stars and types of clips. If you've been around adult sites for any amount of time you know that Naughty America is, or was, one of the heavy hitters. Quality vanilla stuff that was on a big network for a decent price.
But that was the old Naughty America, and all of what I'll warn you about affects Naughty America VR.
How the mighty have fallen.
There are well over 100 videos on this site (not network, just site). BUT, with the new and improved Naughty America approach you can only access the videos from the last month. They even say it on their signup page now in a sneaky disclosure:
"Become a member for this month's new releases."
And they mean it, too. You might think they mean to join so you can see the latest stuff and enjoy their huge backlog of content, but no, that's not what they mean. Not anymore.
If you want to enjoy anything past "this months new releases" you'll need to pay. And while sites like "Naughty America VR" and "Seduced by a Cougar" and "Naughty Bookworms" used to be part of one umbrella and available with one subscription, now you'll need to pay for each individual site. And you'll pay a LOT.
One user on the forums speculates that it would cost well over $1000 a month to have the same subscription that cost $5 or so per month earlier in the year.
Another commented that he'd joined a site on the network and had access to something like two videos. Two.
Add to that constant timeouts and failed downloads even with download managers, and there is almost no reason to risk joining anymore.
Avoid. I can't stress that enough. The NA forums are open to the public. Go and read. EDIT: I forgot to mention that NA staff is openly challenging people to cancel their memberships in the forum.

Reason: Major subscription policy and cost changes

WARNING SEE BELOW
- Huge site with years of content
- Frequent updates
- Easy signup/cancellation
- Big HD and 4K videos available
- Lots of old videos are being updated to modern resolutions
- VR. Quite a bit of VR, too.
- "On the go" clips are five minute best-of edits of the scene. Pretty good idea. |
| Cons: |
WARNING SEE BELOW
- Ads, ads, and more ads.
- Pretty vanilla. Even though the models are gorgeous, it still becomes repetitive.
- Anything above the smallest "mobile" and "on the go" scenes are pretty large.
- Download managers work briefly, but links time out. Which brings us to:
- If you're on anything under 25Mbps you're going to be stuck with the smallest download options unless you want to babysit the downloads.
- Very much a pornstar site. Fake tits and tattoos abound.
- Requires frequent logins after irritating frequent logouts.
- Did I mention the ads? |
| Bottom Line: |
WARNING
Edit 6-18-18
This has become one of the worst sites I'm aware of. They've switched to some sort of bizarre "channel" subscription so that your membership fee gives you a few new videos from that month, but otherwise only allows you access to buy other channels.
Here's where the trick is. Go to the "join" page and see where they say "Become a member for this month's new releases."
That's what they mean, too. You get this months new releases. Anything else and you pay extra.
Imagine being charged double digits to get in a restaurant, being given a plate of breadsticks and one Sprite (no refills), and then being given a menu for everything else that all costs additional money.
Their forum is open to the public. I recommend going to read about the debacle. It's a train wreck, and so bad that NA staff is arguing with members and daring them to cancel their subscriptions and comparing their subscription model to buying a base model Porsche and needing to pay extra for the options you want.
One member pointed out that it would now cost over $1000/month to currently have access to all of the content that was $30/month just a short time ago.
Buyer beware.
DISREGARD EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE
If you've been around the internet and adult sites for any amount of time you've seen, and probably joined, Naughty America at some point. It's a very good, very large site with lots of big name actresses doing routine adult stuff in (mostly) well-lit, well-filmed, well-financed scenes and settings. It's worth joining at least once even if you're just looking to complete a particular actress' collection or are interested in virtual reality scenes.
There are a lot of ads. That's a bit of an understatement, really. There are ads everywhere. Beside the videos, beside the thumbnails, in the thumbnails as camoflauged "locked" links to other sister sites, etc. It's very excessive, and an automatic five points off of the score just for an unobtrusive presence. I should probably knock another five off for how blatant these are.
Streaming and photos are available if that's your thing.
The scenes, while formulaic, are very well done and often have the models in nice clothes and lingerie. The appeal isn't in groundbreaking new content but volume and predictability, which is fine. It's not a bad place to start a collection.
UNLESS you've got slow internet service. If you're puttering along below 25Mbps, you're going to be getting the small files. Even the small-ish 480p scenes are getting up into 500MB+ range. The larger 720 and 1080 files will push 2-3GB+, and the 4K and VR scenes are probably over 6GB.
Not a big deal if download managers worked, but they don't. Not for long. You'll get a few clips and then the links will die and you'll need to log in again. Why, webmasters? Is there not enough room at the table for paid customers? If I log back in, is it kicking another user off to make room for me again?
Bottom line: Not bad. Good, even, especially considering that it's reasonably priced. Far from perfect, though, and know what to expect going in. Would I recommend? Probably. |

Here we are again for this week's warning to anyone who might be surfing the internet looking for reviews or discounts and happen to click upon pornusers with some interest in this Naughty America site. DON'T DO IT. I can't stress this enough. Don't join this site right now because it's not what you think it is. Avoid any Naughty America site right now because they are in the middle of, well, I don't know what they're in the middle of. F*cking up their subscription model to the point where long-time users are cancelling their memberships? Yeah, that'll work. Let's say that.
Yes this is a full stand-alone site now. Yes there are promises of those good looking women doing exactly what you expect. Yes they are filmed well. Yes there appears to be a substantial amount of material. Yes the recent stuff is presented in high definition. All that is technically true.
BUT:
Naughty America has implemented a new scheme whereby you "join" a site in order to be allowed to upgrade to get the content of the site. Does that make sense? I'll try to re-phrase it using a different consumer product in case it's unclear. Let's see... Okay. Here's one: You go to McDonalds. An employee meets you at the door to take your order. You order the McWhatever Value Meal and give them your money. The McDonalds employee takes your money, thanks you for your purchase, and lets you inside. Once inside you walk to the counter and are immediately given yesterday's chicken nugget, two french fries from last week, a cup of mostly melted ice, and an expired pack of mustard. You explain to the cashier that you already ordered and paid for the McWhatever Value Meal, and the cashier smiles and tells you no, you paid the door charge to come in and order the McWhatever Value Meal, please enjoy sampling some other items on the menu, and now would you like to order the McWhatever Value Meal for another similar charge to the one you already paid at the door?
Don't do it. I know it's tempting. I know the network used to be great, but it's not that place anymore. Go read the forums and see for yourself. Saturday 9-15-18, quote:
" I paid $4.95 for a trial only to find out I could only access 8 VR videos. I decided to upgrade to a FULL account and paid $71.40 and now I can't access ANYTHING! EVERYTHING IS LOCKED! Even the videos I had access to during the trial."

| Pros: |
- Good looking mostly MILFs in nice clothes and/or lingerie

- Epoch is apparently really good about refunding disappointed subscribers' fees. |
| Cons: |
- Bait and switch.
- Actually, not really any switch. Just bait.
- It is apparently possible to join a Naughty America site and not have access to any videos. Link below. |

This is no longer a clone site, but as many people as possible should be steered away from Naughty America since their switch to their new subscription... no, not subscription. Billing... something. I'm still not sure how to phrase that because most people expect that a subscription will give them access to the content they thought they were subscribing to.
Guess what? Naughty America is getting all M. Knight Shyamalan and subverting your expectations with what you thought you wanted to do with your money. Yep, it turns out Bruce Willis was dead the entire time, and you'll want to watch how this movie ends, too. So far they've gone from complete network access to access of one site's content ONLY if it's less than a month old, and now they've switched to what appears to be no site content whatsoever unless it just happens to pop up in the roll of the dice for the daily updates that they let you see but that have nothing to do with your subscription (updates is used loosely, btw, since most of the "updates" you are allowed to view appear to be old videos).
Housewife 1 on 1 is still updating and shows new content as recently as September 5th, 2018. BUT, you apparently can't access it after you pay your money and subscribe to the site. What you'll get is random videos from other Naughty America sites (and, in fairness, possibly one or two videos from Housewife 1 on 1, but they'll be the result of completely random chances exactly like all the other videos), with the chance to buy ANOTHER subscription to super subscribe to the site you thought you'd just paid $20 to subscribe to. But you didn't. You paid the entry fee to have access to the upgrade, and, after you pay the additional subscription fee to the site you just subscribed to, THEN you'll get to access the videos on the site you subscribed to.
No, really. I'm not joking. Read it again if it doesn't make sense.
What you do get is just random videos from the Naughty America hard drive. It's this part on the signup page, btw:
"Updated daily with exclusive videos from our library."
Yes, that reads like they are creating so much content that there are daily updates, but scroll down some more to find this one:
"Membership Upgrades Available Inside!"
And that's exactly what they mean.
Go read the Naughty America forums. They're open to the public. You'll find lots of stuff like this from yesterday (9-9-18): " What did I just pay for? $24.99. cant access ANY scenes."

|
| Pros: |
- Good looking women doing naughty things
- 700+ videos. Ha. Just kidding.
- Newer videos you can't access with your subscription are in HD |
| Cons: |
These minor ones seem almost quaint:
- Ads inside the paywall
- Downloads don't complete
Compared to the biggie:
- Did I mention you don't get access to the site once you pay your subscription? |
| Bottom Line: |
Holy crap. The (cough) subscription (cough) model at Naughty America seems to have somehow gotten even worse. I never would've thought that possible, but click and see for yourself.
https://www.naughtyamerica.com/naughty-a...bership-with-variety
PORNUSERS STAFF - Please don't stop doing business with them because I'm guessing that would remove the ability for consumers to discuss/review and try to make other consumers aware of the subscription changes.
No longer a clone site. It's independent now, which means you don't get the full Naughty America network with your subscription fee anymore. For that matter, up until a few days ago you didn't even get the site you thought you joined. You paid your subscription fee and you got access to any videos released over the last one month period (on the site you'd joined, remember).
For My Sister's Hot Friend that would've been two videos. You'd pay your twenty dollars and be able to view two clips. If you wanted to see more than that then Naughty America expects you to pay an additional fee for access to the videos that are over a month old.
Crazy, huh?
Wait, did someone say something? Oh, hey Naughty America. No, we're just hanging out discussing your subscription changes where you only got the last month's videos on the site you joined.
"Hold my beer." - Naughty America
Not content to allow their subscription plans to stagnate and become outdated, now the terms on their signup page say "Updated daily with exclusive videos from our library." And people are posting in the forums and on reddit that yep, that's what it means. Join the individual site and you'll apparently get some unrelated clips from the last year.
One has to assume you'll be able to pay more to get access to the site you thought you were joining in the first place via the "channel" option. Per Naughty America:
"If you would like more content than what is released in your membership, all updates in our library will be available for purchase. "
So you will now also be able to buy access to even the recent updates on the site you thought you were subscribing to.

Good luck!
No, seriously, avoid, avoid, avoid.

Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
- The actress' name is associated with a website.
- Photos are available for viewing for some of the corresponding videos.
- Not all of the dozen videos are "behind the scenes" or interview filler clips.
- No download limits that I encountered, but the entire site's total content is probably under 5GB (I'd wager closer to 2) so how would there be? |
| Cons: |
- It will take you just about the same amount of time to read this review as it would to scroll through the entire website.
- Website won't load at times.
- Photos, but no photo zips that I could find.
- The photos are sometimes just screenshots of the low-res video.
- The videos are low-res 360p clips that aren't worth watching.
- It appears that they haven't updated in years. |
| Bottom Line: |
I really don't see the point of this site. I'm not just saying that, either. I truly, honestly, 100% don't see why someone would go through any time and trouble to make a site that has a handful of clips, a few photos that you have to individually click, wait for the script to pull up, and then click a few more times to download if you have any interest, and little to nothing more. I especially don't understand it when it's... Okay, okay. That's not entirely true. I understand that it seems to be little more than a blatant cash grab and exists in the hope that there are a few suckers out there who might want to have all of Abbey Brooks' material, and that one of those suckers might spend the money joining the site for one month. Either that or it's just crappy padding for a similarly overall horrible network. Take your pick.
According to IAFD, Ms. Brooks is still working and has nearly 200 movies to her name. That doesn't count photos shoots, and I'm sure she's got well over 100 of those in her past, too.
So, If I had to guess, I'd guess that a studio/site bought up the name and owned a few licensed clips of the actress. There ARE some clips the studio owns of said actress, so it's presented as the actress' website.
The dozen or so video clips are stated as being 360p. It's probably technically correct, but I've seen 360p clips elsewhere that, while not great, are still fairly watchable. For simplicity's sake just think of a low-res tube site or a crappy gif flashing in an advertisement. That's essentially what you can expect for video quality of most of the clips here.
If that's too crisp and wonderful for you, there is a lower quality option as well.
Photos exist, but I never saw a link for zip files. If you like a set, be prepared to click through each image individually to allow it to load so that you can choose "save as" for every one you want. It looked like the photos were often just screenshots, too.
On the bright side, I didn't run into any download limits when downloading the three videos that looked worthwhile. They weren't, btw. The video quality was borderline unwatchable once I tried to watch them, although in fairness I knew it said 360p when I clicked to download them. Nonetheless, I didn't encounter any download limits when downloading the 300-500MB worth of clips.
Bottom line: It's an almost uniquely lousy site. It's either a cynical money-grab or filler for a network of similar cynical money-grab sites. It's the first site I've come across in a long, long time that deserves a score much lower than 50, and I only gave it the extra point so that it wouldn't be viewed as some knee-jerk score out of spite. That single point is there to show that some thought went into why this site is so bad. Frankly, the site shouldn't even exist. The unwatchable clips could easily be part of one of the studio's other sites as some sort of worthless "bonus" content that no one intentionally clicks on.
Avoid. |

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).

| Updated: |
02-16-15 07:56am (Update History)
Reason: Discovered many of the streaming videos aren't available for viewing, either.
|
| Pros: |
Credit card appears to have been accepted without problems.
Edit 2-16-15- *No longer applies, score lowered to 51 upon discovery, explanation below*- Non-HD streaming available for all your lower-quality streaming needs.
Occasional HD content available for download without "upgrade". |
| Cons: |
- Very little content available for downloading without "upgrading"
- Download managers will queue multiple downloads but the links won't work for long (download links shift every few minutes).
- Most of the highest commonly-available video quality appears to be 720x408. You can possibly get higher quality by falling for the "upgrade" racket, but I don't know for sure.
- I seriously doubt the "upgrade" would suddenly make download managers work. |
| Bottom Line: |
I got a $5 promo in an email for the site and thought, "Sure, why not?"
Turns out $5 is overpriced.
Want to see an example of the site's problems for yourself? Go to the link and click "pornstars", then click "R". Go to Ryan Conner. 26 videos. Awesome. But see all those little yellow boxes that say "Moviesz" at the bottom right of the previews? That indicates those videos aren't available unless you spend more money. So none of the videos on Ryan Conner's first page are available with the membership you just bought. Click on page 2. Scroll down, and you'll see four videos without "Moviesz" on the preview. Four of 26 listed are available for download with the membership you just paid for.
"Hmm," you think, "maybe it's because they're older and she's not active anymore..." (I don't know if she is or not, but for the sake of argument let's go with it.)
"Maybe we should try a more recent actress," you think while staying in the "R"s and clicking Roxanne Hall. "Wow, 86 videos. Awesome!"
But only 13 of the 86 listed are available to you, and at least two of those are repeats.
"Hmm, that's weird. Let's try someone else."
Faye Reagan? 6 videos available out of 20 listed.
Janet Alfano? 8 videos available out of 47 listed.
Sharon Wild? 16 videos available out of 63 listed.
Julie Silver? 9 of 36.
Shawna Lenee? 6 of 25.
Nikki Rhodes? 6 of 27.
Marsh Lord? 2 of 23
Mellanie Monroe? 3 of 16
Raquel Devine? 1 of 41.
Joey Lynn? 0 of 1.
And it just keeps going like that.
Go ahead, find your favorite and check. All of the ones with "Moviesz" in the corner are unavailable for downloading unless you pay more.
(FWIW, you can view the unavailable-to-download videos in low to marginal streaming quality. You just can't download them.)
Even the videos that are available for downloading are a pain to get since download managers don't work.
In summary, only around 15% of the total videos you see offered are available for download unless you want to spend more money, and you'll have to babysit your computer to get what you want of the ones that *are* offered.
The site somehow manages to feel like a ripoff even at $5.
Avoid.
**EDIT 2-16**
Streaming video? Some of the clips are available for viewing, and up to half of them aren't. Here's what you get:

It happened enough that I decided to edit this review.
Site owners: This is the kind of stuff that makes people stop visiting a *free* site, much less a pay one. |
