A few changes at PP over the past six months or more. They went through a bit of a phase of models who, for some reason, didn't do much for me - perhaps too glam, losing the intimacy or voyeurism that made the material so appealing.
Things seem to have picked up a bit now, with very attractive, recent models, and again more intimate themes and sets - getting dressed, make-up and the like, which work for me.
Note, though, that updates are less frequent - from daily down to every 3 days at the moment. That's still pretty good for a $15 site and is still good value but if I re-review it, my score may drop a couple of points for that reason.
Doesn't work for me at all! Agree with Drooler that my ideal porn is very sex-positive and empowering to women - although admittedly much is not like that.
Also agree with Messmer that on sites which have comments, some are awful; I don't really understand the lack of respect in some of them.
Thanks for pointing this site out - a new one to me so although no longer updating, I'll definitely add it to my list - pinup girls, and other retro-themed smut is very much my thing!
Depends what you mean by password protected - my password is required to get into my computer, but the whole drive isn't encrypted. As something of a conspiracy theorist I'm tempted to do so... but also seen such drives become unrecoverable after encrypting so am on the fence.
I do have an encrypted partition for passwords and other sensitive stuff... but don't bother encrypting the external drive I keep my smut on.
Sort of agree with GPL, but either way, thanks for the comment. I sort of had my eye on this site as I'm quite keen on the heartcore/whatever genre and something like Joymii or X-Art which featured models in their 30s or 40s would work really well for me. A shame, then, that this site - although purporting to be a bit more sensual - seems to be more run of the mill porn.
Also interesting that you were disappointed with orgasms.xxx - it's sort of on my list - any more specifics on what you didn't like? And/or what sites do you like in this genre?
Agree - uncensored Japanese softcore is something of a rare item, so this site is worth watching. The photography seems good, and interesting; you liken it to Metart, but hopefully it will be a bit more erotic. First glance suggests the models are a bit too young-looking and the themes a bit too cutesy to be alluring to me; but I''m willing to be convinced!
Finally got round to joining this site - of photographer Richard Kern - a review will follow. One weird thing, though - based on the webmaster program, and Petter Hegre's name appearing on the video clips here, this seems to be aligned somehow with Hegre-Art.
Hegre's all about flawless beauty, technical excellence, perfect studio shots - which leave me a bit cold. Kern's images are of amateur girls, grainy looking, not particularly technical, often poor lighting and messy apartments. But more erotic :)
Perhaps it's nothing more than he and Kern are friends - but interesting because the two styles couldn't be further apart; I couldn't imagine them working together!
Pretty much as Claypaws said - compared to other expenses that could be cut back on - or other forms of entertainment - joining a site I like is relatively frugal so it' hasn't affected me that much. That said, other aspects of life have kept me busy so I have been joining less sites than last year...
It doesn't appeal to me, in porn or in real life. If it works for some folk - and both partners like it - then I can understand it being a fetish of sorts, but I'm baffled as to why it's so mainstream now. A casual observer would think it's the only way to do it!

Pros:
* Very low price
* Good range of models
* Small galleries
* Great, atmospheric photography
Cons:
* Infrequent updates
* Small collection
* No zip sets
* Small galleries
* Fairly tame, and little tease or lingerie
* Regional pricing
Bottom Line:
Ethernudes has been on my radar for a while, and I finally got round to joining for the bargain price of $5 (or ostensibly a little more - regional pricing kicks in even at this level :|). It's the nude photo site of photographer Olivier re Rycke, so there is a consistent style and quality of work here that you get from a single photographer site.
It's a photo-only site with currently 116 galleries; seemingly about one new one added per month (just one while I was a member). Picture sets are anywhere between around 5 and 50 pictures at 3K size, with perhaps 30 being the average, and more recent sets are larger. They are presented with a stock gallery package (coppermine in this case) so not really any fancy features - notably zip sets are nowhere to be found but it's extremely trivial to grab the set with a DM so I don't take marks off for that.
I've noted the small galleries as both a plus and a minus since although most folk would feel hard-done-by, I like smaller sets; by subscribing to a site, we are buying into the vision of the photographer and part of that vision is knowing what to get rid of! 200+ picture sets bore me, it's hard to know where to stop; 20 well-chosen pictures are better every time, as long as the photographer has the skill to take and choose the best ones. (Stagg Street and Juliland are other sites which are benefit from ruthless editing.)
And in this case, he does - the photography here is excellent. It's not particularly explicit, about the same or even less than you might see at Met Art; but with somehow more depth, atmosphere than what I found at MA. The locations - both indoor and out - and framing are good, and different; and the colours are really nice - they seem a bit processed, but it's done to set the mood, eg to give it a subtle vintage tint, rather than interfere with the models.
The choice of whom is also very good - European models from 19-30 rather than just the 18-21s on many nude sites - including some familiar girls such as Ariel, Suzie Carina and Melisa but most I suspect are exclusive here - but all stunning and natural. And although it's perhaps a bit too art-nude-y for my taste (I'd prefer just a little more undressing/tease/sleaze) - the photographer gets the best out of all the models and they somehow just seem sexier, more relaxed, more intimate than they do elsewhere.
The fact that the site is so small is balanced by the price, I feel - and although it's left me wanting something a bit more explicit again, I still enjoyed the evocative models and locations. Definitely recommended to anyone who likes Met Art, Femjoy etc; you'll get through the small collection in no time, but I also think you'll get a taste of what is missing from the bigger sites.
Possibly - but it looks like it's done with a standard gallery script - piwigo - which may not have that functionality. This isn't a typical paysite as such, more a showcase of her work - but It's not a big deal as pics are easily fetched with a DM. I may suggest adding it though, if it's easy...
Thanks for a great review, tangub - I had noticed this site a couple of times and wondered what it was like.
I think you are right in that it is the same photographer as Breath Takers - Michael White (who also features in Met Art and Body In Mind, among others). I actually really like the style; the colours are natural, there is a good mix of models and usually some context which really works for me.
In this case it's good to know that it's on a par with Only Tease as to explicitness; I'd find this frustrating, and the schoolgirl theme doesn't really work for me either. At least though the theme justifies a separate site; I'm still baffled as to why Breath Takers, Girlfolio and Take5 Girls (back again) all run with overlaps in content...
Aha - sorry if I gave that impression. Photos make up the bulk of material here and are added fairly frequently - Mosh is mainly a photo model. Videos are fewer and tend to short clips.

Pros:
* Incredibly beautiful model
* Great lingerie, nylons and glam fetishwear
* Sets from some of the best pinup/fetish/alt photographers
* Low price
* No regional pricing
Cons:
* No zip sets
* Varying pic resolutions
* Currently transitional - not all content in one place
* May be too tame for some
* Videos infrequent
* Limited interaction
Bottom Line:
This is the first solo model site I've ever joined - I don't often fixate on models, instead following photographers more - for me, they define the ambiance/eroticism of a scene more than the model (although the best sets obviously involve both!). But Miss Mosh is an exception, being absolutely my favourite model; and I eventually got round to joining her site.
The lovely Mosh is actually a pinup/fetish model and burlesque performer, and what you will find here are pictures sets in all those genres - some specifically for websites (eg Office Erotic, High on Heels, Alt Exclusive, Action Girls, Stagg Street, Holly Randall); some shoots for latex and lingerie makers; some magazine shoots; some burlesque performance candids. Themes include nylons, vintage underwear, sheer lingerie, retro dresses, heels, hotrod/custom cars, mild bondage and plenty of latex (of the more glam kind) - all things which definitely are my thing, having been so since before getting into actual porn.
As Atrapat mentions in his recent review, it's arguably more artistic than erotic... but I would actually argue that a little. Although Mosh does do - and you'll see plenty of - full nudity here, it remains tame, with little to no legs spread or touching... however, she's definitely at the top her field and is incredibly beautiful, glamorous and alluring. She has amazing poise and flexibility - in some sets you'll see her use it to the extreme, but in others more subtly, lending an eroticism to what may otherwise be a more ordinary pose.
Atrapat's recent review is excellent, and covers all the facts and figures of the site, so I won't repeat them. However, since then, the gallery section has been updated, and pictures moved into various categories (glamour, fetish, girl/girl etc), at least; it's still in progress with some galleries still in the old page-through interface, but I'm sure this will be resolved soon. There are still no zips of sets - but it's very trivial to download whole sets with eg DTA, so I only count that as a minus if sites go out of their way to stop you downloading.
There are reasonably frequent picture updates - I'd say one per week on average - but otherwise site is relatively basic, which is understandable given that it's an aside to what Mosh does - she's probably the most popular model in the genre and is in great demand. It's therefore a bit tricky to score - sure, there are plenty of more feature-filled solo model sites, and I'd like to see a bit more interaction there, news updates coming only every month or so. But Mosh has such an allure, such a timeless, star quality, that it would be criminal to score her any less than 90, so I'll match Atrapat's - and go one more since I'm such a huge fan :)
Definitely - it suggests a long out of date site, that nobody is maintaining. Granted, if the content is good, a monthly membership still could be worth it; but usually there's no good tour on such sites, so no way of knowing.
Best to pick your own (as with noses). At least I have a chance of remembering it; some sights assign a completely random username and password, meaning I have to go back to the joining email every time.
Of course how annoying that is depends on how long the site leaves you logged in - some do for your entire browser session which is fine; but eg Watch4Beauty has random username/password AND logs you out after a short time.
As a panty fan, I just noticed this site listed - it's from, and includes, Vintage Flash, Pantyhosed4U and a couple of others. Makes this network seem even more appealing and pushes it up my list a bit!
As many have said, the milder ones don't disgust me as such, but simply do nothing for me at all. And the more involved ones are definitely a turn-off...
Thanks for the review here, and the info. I'm quite fond of this heartcore/whatever genre and this site cropped up on my radar - as you say, they are clearly aiming for the X-Art/Joymii market, both of which I enjoyed.
It's good to know it doesn't quite make it - helps prioritise other sites!
Actually, it depends. If it's the straight gonzo style, then that's pretty generic. If it's part of a scene, and we see both parties enjoying it, then it can work for me - and (not putting too fine a point on it) it is very analogous to what we, the viewer, might be doing - which can work too.
