Surely the best way of getting people to return to a site is to keep them engaged, keep them on the site and maintain their excitement. I'd never join a site with such a unrealistic download cap, let alone one that actually LIES on the preview pages like that.
Wow, thanks for this review - definitely an eye-opener, and definitely a site I will never consider joining thanks to your warning. I think it's a scandal how sites can get away with false advertising and how members don't have a leg to stand on.
Sounds like the only good thing to come out of your membership is that you have been kind enough to warn other people - so thank you.
Thank you for this - I actually really like The Art of Blowjob - not quite so keen on the look of this couple, but a site I will no doubt give a go when I have the chance. Thank you :)
You really need to post more detail in your reviews. I'm not sure what to think of the site as you say there's only 10 pictures per set, yet the webmaster says there's tens of thousands of pictures.
It's so strange how they've removed so much stuff. I can think of several blowjob videos that have vanished (her first one, her first facial, the one in the car/car park, the one on the plane, the halloween-themed one etc), a lot of masturbation videos (car wash, rain) and god knows how much else.
I rejoined as I lost a lot of my Peachez collection when my hard drive turned into a brick, so frankly I'm frustrated there's so many gaps on her site.
I didn't try the trial unfortunately - I'm always a bit cynical towards them so rarely do.
Video quality was not bad. The aspect ratios on a lot of the videos were mucked up and I had to either/both resize manually and set VLC to crop the outside black bars. It's hard to tell sometimes what their actual size is, but they all look fine full screen.
Her blowjobs are excellent they really are. There's about 15 BJ videos on the site, but she's done a lot more that unfortunately aren't on there at the moment :(
You could do a lot worse than joining her site, for sure, but don't expect much more than photos and movies, and bear in mind there's a lot of missing stuff from her back-catalogue. If you want more details on something in particular, let me know.

Pros:
- Gorgeous petite model who has been active for many years
- Decent balance of videos, candids and videos
- Incredible performer, doing just about my favourite amateur BJs
- Billing by CCBill with option to choose own username/password
- Lots of download options (quality/dimension/format) for videos
- Zips of some galleries available in various dimensions
- Recent galleries have direct link to corresponding video update
- Many galleries divided into HQ photos and screengrabs
- Discount membership to Club Jenni (not pre-checked)
Cons:
Points marked with * don't bother me personally:
- Regional pricing. Very expensive for the amount of content
- Tour promises daily updates – nothing new since March
- Tour also advertises monthly contest – doesn’t seem to exist
- Although some content is new, a lot appears to be rotated
- Archives seem incomplete as a lot of videos missing/removed
- Store, FAQ, and Girlfriends inaccessible/not working
- Video aspect ratios don’t work properly
- Blog, Journal, and Our Models no longer appear to be updated
- Sort options don’t work properly (eg, sorting by ‘most recent’)
- Basic navigation – vauge titles and no option to filter by genre
- Zips not available for around half of albums
- Chronically slow download speeds (approx 150kbs)
- Flash video auto-plays on page load*
Bottom Line:
This could be an amazing site, but the woeful navigation, lack of updates and missing content all contribute towards a pretty scrappy website at best.
Peachez is a superb performer, particularly since she started doing blowjobs which has added an extra dimension to a site that was previously fairly repetitive. She looks gorgeous with a slim figure, tiny, perky little boobs and a beautiful pair of legs topped by the perfect bum.
The majority of content is strip tease, masturbation and insertion, but there are a lot of blowjob videos now too. Most content is shot indoors, but there are a few galleries of her flashing in public or posing poolside. There are also a lot of candids from her trips to various adult conferences/awards which are worth looking at.
The website is divided into several sections across the top: Photos, Movies, Our Models*, Webcams, About Me, Girlfriends**, Journal*, Blogs*, Forums**, Store** and FAQ**. A lot of sections are no longer updated (*) or don’t work (**).
PHOTOS:
Currently 186 galleries, averaging around 100 photos each. Galleries are displayed as thumbnails which animate on mouse-over to show a sample of images, along with the gallery title, number of photos, number of screencaps, date added and member’s rating.
The majority of albums have the option to view images at different dimensions (1024px, 1280px and 1600px). Around a half of galleries have the option to download zips of images in these dimensions. A handful of galleries also link you directly to the corresponding video. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern as to what features are/aren’t available as the oldest gallery I could find had zips available, but a newer one didn’t.
MOVIES:
79 movies with animated thumbnails giving a gist of the video, title, running time and date added. Once you click into the movie there’s a short (often generic) description and a flash video that auto-plays (annoying).
There are plenty of viewing and download options for movies:
- Mobile: 3GP 352x288 and MP4 320
- 1500k and 3000k MP4, Quicktime and WMV
I have a big problem with aspect ratios from videos that I’ve downloaded. Most seem to display in VLC as a perfect square, so you have to set the aspect ratio manually. This seems to be a problem in post-production as the video watermark actually extends beyond the right-hand side of the video into the black bars on the side meaning the video doesn’t fill the screen at fullscreen.
THE CONTENT:
Peachez is an experienced performer and has been online for something like ten years. For collectors, though, you’ll be frustrated to find that this isn’t a full archive of Sarah’s work. There is a lot of missing content, including more recent blowjobs. The site just seems to be coasting along doing the bear minimum it can to keep subscriptions up. A lot of content is new (one of her recent BJ videos mentioned it being 2013), but it appears a lot of the content is rotated. Updates are also incredibly sporadic – several updates from 12-13 March, but nothing since.
THE WEBSITE:
The website is massively buggy/incomplete with lots of features that don’t work or aren’t being used properly. Here’s a few examples:
NAVIGATION: You can only sort updates by name, date or popularity. Sorting by date doesn’t seem to work as, for example, when you sort movies the most recent is 2012, but then there’s a few from 2010, 2009 and then 2013.
There is no way to filter by genre because keywords haven’t been set up. So if you want to view her blowjob videos, you have to go through every page. Worse still, sometimes it’s not obvious what videos are blowjobs and what are not because they have such vague names (eg, ‘4th of July’). The search box at the top hasn’t been configured properly as it contains irrelevant categories like ‘MILF’, ‘Busty’ etc (not relevant for Peachez).
BROKEN FEATURES: Girlfriends comes up with an error saying ‘insert code here’, My Store redirects to a domain holding page, Forums redirects to the RealPeachez home page and FAQ is blank.
There is also an alphabetized navigation bar across the top which, whatever letter you click on, takes you to the same update. Obviously it’s just a website template that hasn’t been set up properly. Even on the preview side of the site there’s a few broken links (including the ‘join’ link in several places).
NO LONGER UPDATING: The following pages no longer seem to be updated: Our Models (last updated February 2013), Journal (last updated April 2012), and Blog (last updated January 2013). Site-wide, there hasn’t been an update since March 2013 (not even rotated content)
SUMMARY:
If you’re new to Sarah, you could do worse things than join her website, but if you have followed her work for any number of years, her site is buggy, incomplete, poorly updated and rather disappointing. The amount of new, unseen content and lack of updates do nothing to justify the price.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- Peachez is incredibly hot
- A nice mix of content, especially now she does BJs
- Good quality videos
Cons:
- Lots of broken promises about forthcoming content
- Updates get skipped constantly
- Lots of recycled content when she runs out of new stuff
Bottom Line:
Definitely the kind of website that you join infrequently, download the new stuff and cancel your subscription. Lots of broken promises about updates - eg, a video of her giving BJ to her neighbour would be up 'within a week' and that was over a month ago.
It's strange because I think she's great - she's been doing strip tease ever since I've been into porn and it doesn't get boring, but I always join her site every 6-or-so months and every time it just leaves me feeling unfulfilled - it's a shame.

Updated:
03-10-1204:12am (Update History) Reason: Comprehensive rewrite as am a current member
Pros:
- Good balance of photos and videos, all of which is downloadable
- Patty is a very pretty, young-looking blonde non-nude tease
- Gets very close to nude while leaving something to the imagination
- Website takes full advantage of her eternal youthful looks
- Features forum and blog, both of which are active
Cons:
- Website seems stuck in the 90s in many respects
- Most videos are short and poor quality
- Photo galleries are tiny, normally with only 30-40 pictures
- Slow update schedule compared even to other sole tease sites
- Some content is 'limited time' so won't appear in archive
- Best content is saved for overly expensive downloadable ZIPs
Bottom Line:
I must admit I have a soft-spot for Patty, but this a hugely disappointing website offering content that might have been acceptable 10 years ago, but is definitely a long way behind what I'd expect in 2012, even bearing in mind this is a solo website.
Membership costs $29 via CCBill. Do not get fooled by the offer of discounts for long-term members - you save only $2 for every six months you remain a member (maximum two discounts).
Frankly, the content and number of updates don't warrant a six-month membership, and if you do want to remain a member for several months, then you can save $22 by buying their 90-day membership.
Their preview area is probably a fairly accurate representation of their member's site. Once inside, you have options at the top for a blog, bio, photos, videos, webcam and forum.
The bio has full stats for Patty (height, weight, vital stats), favourite films etc, plus a short introduction. The blog is a relatively new addition to the site and is updated occasionally with thoughts from Patty and a few candid pictures.
There are around 200 galleries, but not a single gallery I viewed had over 50 photos. The photos themselves are only 1024px on their longest side, which is pretty low-fi nowadays, even on my little monitor. I can't think of any other website that consistently offers such low-res photos in such small galleries. The photo content is good, but you feel like you're only getting half of the story as there are so few photos.
Navigation-wise, galleries are arranged onto 13 pages with a thumbnail gallery of photos. You can save all pictures, but there are no downloadable ZIPs.
Content-wise Patty is a great tease. She must be in her late 20s now, but hasn't aged at all. Most galleries have her removing her underwear, there are handbras, implied nudity and often slips here-and-there. Sometimes she'll have a dildo or something, but from what I've seen there's no insertion.
They definitely take advantage of her youthful looks. Lots of candy colours, Patty wearing bunny ears, posing in front of cuddly toys, lots of Hello Kitty backgrounds etc.
Video-wise, there are around 250 videos, which - at best - are only OK quality-wise. The very best quality is 768px wide which, again, is very low quality for 2012. Most videos (and I mean around 200 of the 250 available) are 352px which, for videos released in 2010, is very bad (and I don't have particularly demanding standards, either).
Most of the videos are her stripping on a bed, playing in the shower or doing a strip tease to teeny bop music. She's pretty good, and there are nip slips scattered throughout the latter videos, but the quality is poor to the point there's little-or-no pay-off in that respect.
Most of the scenes are split into two-or-three parts. With other updates in between, along with a pretty pedestrian update schedule, it's likely to be several months until you manage to download the whole scene.
The videos are arrange chronologically, with a thumbnail preview and an option to stream a few of the newer ones. Only one format is downloadable (MP4 for newer videos, MPG for the majority), no indication of file size (although most are 50-200mb) or running time (most are 5min long), and no description other than the video title.
There is a section for webcams, which is an archive of screenshots from her webcams. Most of the webcams seem to just be the same as her videos or galleries, but there are hundreds and hundreds of small (600px wide), blury screenshots. No videos and no clue as to where her webcams are available or when the next show is.
The forum is active, and Patty clearly has passionate fans. No input from what I can see from Patty herself though, and although there's a 'Patty Tweets' thing on the membership homepage, I'm not sure if she's on Twitter or not as there's no link to it, so I think it's just a kinda member's only news feed. No sign of interaction here, either.
Unfortunately, the best content is saved for ZIPs which have to be bought on top of membership. There are discounts for members, but at $35, it's still hugely expensive and 'In Training', though hot, was hardly on another level to what's available on her site. Another cynical aspect by her webmasters is splitting member's videos into 3 parts, so with updates in between, you have to remain a member for months to get a whole scene.
To summarise, Patty is wonderful, but her website is hugely disappointing, particularly compared to other solo tease websites. A lot of the content is pretty samey, the update schedule of one update a week maximum is pretty disappointing, as is most of the content.
680x354 videos, 1024x680 pictures and 30 pictures per gallery might have been OK ten years ago, but definitely aren't in 2012.
Patty's site is a jack of all trades, master of none. The video content, pictures and interaction from Patty are all below average. Patty is great, but her website has hardly moved with the times.
To be fair to potatohead, that page is quite misleading.
It says on there several times that the billing agent is Epoch and doesn't make any reference to VXSbill. I would have thought it would have said under billing on the left "If you joined via Epoch, click here, or if you joined via VXSbill, click here" as it makes it obvious that there are two billers.
I know it's mentioned on that FAQ page, but I must admit it wouldn't have necessarily occurred to me to look there, particularly as the Help page does imply there's only one biller.
Hope you don't think I'm having a go or ganging up on you, I just thought you might appreciate input from the point of view of a browser :)

Pros:
- Very good balance of photo and video content
- Talia has a great figure and gigantic (if fake) breasts
- Immediate access to Bella Network including six solo sites
- Consistent, high quality of content throughout the site
- Regular, dated updates (incl. recent updates in preview area)
- Bonus content like blogs, video blogs and behind the scenes
- Easy navigation either via Bella Network or her own site
- You seem to stay logged in without username/password prompts
- CCBill with no pre-checked cross-sells – good value for money
See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
Cons:
Points marked with * don't bother me personally:
- Video previews are a bit limited
- Regional pricing
- No ZIP files for photo galleries
- Automatically generated username/password*
- Download limit of 20gb per 24 hour hour period*
- Talia has large, fake boobs*
See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
Bella Pass sites have a very clear but strict download policy. Be careful not to exceed their download limits. Improvements have been made to the network's customer service to deal with legitimate members who might accidentally get blocked (it hasn't happened to me yet on this membership term).
Bottom Line:
Talia Shepard is a curvy 28GG model, part of the massively impressive Bella Pass network to which you get immediate access. Her site is the third largest in the network and has 8,808 photos, and 208 videos (of which 45 are HD, 114 are webcam archive videos and 19 are behind the scenes footage).
Talia is a confident performer who does strip tease, masturbation with toys and soft lesbian action. She has also had a boob job with her site offering content both pre- and post-boob job with about 70% of the content being since the enlargement. I have to say I definitely preferred her before and she had good size boobs even before the enlargement. Obviously this is just personal preference, and the preview is clear enough for people to make their own decisions.
The site is extremely easy to navigate. Once you log in, the member’s homepage shows updates from across the entire network. You can go to just Talia’s member area by using a drop-down top right, or search and/or filter updates by site/update type at the top.
The content is divided into various categories in addition to the usual photo and video sections.
She has a blog which is constantly updated by Talia herself. Lots of candid snaps from her phone, updates from her life (whether she’s ill, going on a trip etc), and also personal blog posts (eg her favourite tweets from fans over the last week). It’s always good to see a blog on a solo site, but even more impressive to see it’s actually updated.
BTS has behind the scenes footage from video and photo shoots. This is an impressive feature and shows Talia and the girls who often join her enjoying sessions.
Talia also takes part in video blogs. There’s not a separate section for these, so you’ll have to search for videos tagged with ‘Video Blog’, but they’re well worth watching, and, in addition to the blog, candids, behind the scenes footage and her Twitter feed, all give a great insight into the life of Talia. For me, this is a huge plus and surely helps build the model a huge following as I’m not alone in liking models beyond their physical attributes.
There are many thousands of photos on Talia’s website. All are downloadable, but you can’t use batch downloaders and zip files are not available. Even for someone like me who doesn’t download everything, the prospect of so many photos to download is quite bewildering (to the point I’ve only downloaded video content).
The gallery homepage has 20 galleries per page with thumbnails that animate on mouse-over to show a slideshow of photos inside. Inside, photos are arranged 20 to a page, and you have the option to toggle between showing photos at 4000px on their longest side, or low-fi 1500px.
You have the option to rate, add to favourites and comment. The date the gallery was added is shown along with a short description and the categories that apply to the gallery.
Pictures are well shot, include a small, unobtrusive watermark and often show excellent close-ups of various parts of Talia in various stages of undress or enjoying her own company.
Video content is similar. Again, videos are arranged 20 to a page and thumbnails animate to show a vague idea of what the video is about. You can watch a Flash version online, or can download an impressive number of formats and file sizes, including:
* As of March 2013, WMV is no longer being added as it’s becoming a redundant file format, but it is still available on older updates
The videos are a good mix of striptease, masturbation with toys and soft lesbian-style action with Bryci and/or Katie Banks who, it has to be said, are all fairly similar looks-wise. There’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s all very impressive and obviously car wash, whipped cream and mock BJs with dildo videos are popular for a reason and Talia ticks all of these boxes.
For photos and videos, the locations are varied. Many are bedroom, bathroom or anywhere else around the house. There’s a few updates from the pool and a few vaguely public but nothing too outrageous in this respect.
Talia also takes part in Babe Chat, along with Katie Banks. Her shows are typically at 2pm EST which is a good time for European members as that’s early evening. There’s a full archive of her shows, which are all downloadable as Flash files, each around an hour long. You can also watch them from an embedded flash file on the site, which you can skip to any point in while it loads.
Overall, this is an impressive, polished website with a lot of content. It comes with access to Bella Pass which is a very impressive network including at least two active girls who are very similar to Talia. If you don’t care for bonus sites, then Talia’s website is more than self-sufficient with lots of videos, photos, frequent updates and lots of bonus content which gives you a real insight into Talia herself.
Is that when you're trying to log in, or is it the website in general? If you try and visit their preview area, for example, does that work? If not, maybe try and reboot your router. But if it's just the member's area, then thanks for the heads-up.
Yes, it's explained in the terms and conditions, but that doesn't mean it's right or fair. It's clearly there to trick customers so that they end up paying for an extra months membership they don't want. There's no other reason for it, and no other website I've joined does this.
I never join websites with business practices like that because I'm sure that's not the only time the webmaster will try and catch you out, and to me, that's all it amounts to.
I visited the site today and found out that Camille is no longer a part of The Art of Blowjob, and has been replaced by Clara and Laura.
I didn't realise this, but Camille had a motorbike accident and broke her leg badly hence no updates. But even before this, she had apparently had fallen out of love with Mike, the webmaster, and her on-screen partner. As you can imagine, they couldn't continue the site together.
So she has left the TAOBJ, with Mike and Sophie (not sure what her relationship is to Mike) looking after the site, and Laura and Clara both being new to the fold. I think they look great, but The Art of Blowjob basically *WAS* Camille in my opinion. She will be greatly missed.
Interestingly, there's also a site called CamilleCrimson.com, which I didn't realise until today. She has also left this site. I think it would be hugely cynical of Mike/Sophie to continue using her name unless she gets a fair share should they decide to keep updating it with archived content. They said the future of the site will be decided in the New Year.
There are blog posts on the sites involved explaining this in more detail, but looking at the PU rules it doesn't look like I'm allowed to post links to this.
Thank you for the comments. Yes, it really is a fantastic site, it really captured my imagination and is clearly such a labour of love (in so many respects).
I almost felt guilty about even mentioning it 'just' being BJs as obviously the clue is in the name, but I definitely think there's even more mileage in the idea while still staying true to the unique selling point of just BJs. You know, have 75% of the videos being just BJs, and of the other 25% of the videos, make sure they at least have a long old blowjob but also throw something else into the mix too. There was a video called (I think...) sensual sex and the sex scene part of it was minimal but it was really sexy - would love to see more updates like this.
It's definitely one of my favourite sites I've joined for a while though, and I'll definitely be back.

Pros:
- Camille is a striking red head with an amazing body
- Really sensual, erotic performances - very sexy
- Very classy, catering for a the niche of artistic porn
- Good balance of photos and videos in different formats
- Everything is downloadable, galleries offered as ZIPs
- Simple, uncluttered navigation
- Great, detailed and erotic descriptions of each update
Cons:
- Videos are all zipped
- Photography style means sometimes detail is lost
- Videos are edited/cut and often a bit too short
- Not a huge fan of the dubbed music on videos
- Could perhaps explore more titjobs, sex scenes etc while still including BJs
Bottom Line:
I was really looking forward to joining this site and had really high expectations. Really happy to say I was really impressed and will definitely be rejoining.
The website makes a huge deal out of the fact it is trying to show the beautiful side of porn. I think this is a lot more credible when it's the same two people, in love, appearing in the updates, although obviously the by-product of this is that there wouldn't be as much variety as on some other websites, but for me it's never a problem unless the guy is really annoying or something.
TAOBJ is elegant in its simplicity with members landing on the main update page. All updates (video and photo) are shown as thumbnails with the update name, date and size (number of photos or length of video). At the time of writing there are 313 updates, and at the top of the page are links so you can skip to videos, photos, portraits, blog, friends or VOD.
For me videos are the main draw, and on the video page updates are again presented as thumbnails, dated with video length. Most videos are around 10 minutes long - a few are shorter, and a few are longer, but not many are over 15 minutes long. There are currently 167 videos.
The videos are beautifully shot. Camille is sensual and sexy. She has a real femme fatelle look about her with striking red hair, often rich red lipstick and very feminine curves. She is really womanly and incredibly sexy.
Her technique is really hot and the videos are very well shot. Depth of field features heavily, and often a filter is applied for artistic effect. The result is a beautiful video, but the criticism would be that some of the finer details are lost. Sometimes the lighting washes out some of the details such as cum on her face or her fantastic body. This isn't a huge criticism - the important bits are in crystal clarity, but sometimes you feel like you're missing out on certain details.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of videos are blowjobs. Camille really makes the blowjob sexy, and if you are a fan of BJs, you will be very well catered for. There are a few other niches in the mix - she does great tit jobs and there are some very tender sex scenes, but I must stress these are few and far between. Although the site is The Art of BLOWJOB, I must admit I was hoping for a bit more of a mix content-wise, even if the videos are still mainly about the blowjob, I think a few more titjobs, sex etc would be very welcome and wouldn't take away from the unique selling point of the site.
Videos all have the option to stream on the website (you can skip to any part while it loads), or download as MP4 (approx 300MB), WMV or AVI (approx 150MB) or watch on iPad, iPhone etc. All are downloadable, but annoyingly all are zipped despite being single files which adds another stage to downloading and means you have download, unzip and then rename if you want to. Another criticism is the musac that is dubbed over the videos which I'm not a fan of, even if artistically used.
Each update has a long description, laying on the sexy adjectives with words like sensual, gently caressing, erotic etc - I'm not into sex stories, but it's pretty hot and a step above the formulaic stuff you get (if at all).
Photo-wise it's the same with updates presented as thumbnails with a date and number of photos. Galleries range from 50-150ish photos and are downloadable as ZIPs. The photography is just wonderful, and although the photos are only 1024px on their longest side on the site, in the zips they're over 5000px and the quality is fantastic. Like the videos, you might feel some of the details through depth of field are lost. There's currently 112 galleries, many of which accompany a video.
Other sections include Portraits (33 galleries), which is for Camille's solo pics; Friends which are a few choice galleries from X Art; and VOD which is a link to the Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network. Finally there is a blog which seems regularly updated with a mix of content.
Clearly this site has grown and grown since the earlier comments and reviews here. It's a good amount of content for a solo site, and absolutely beautifully shot. If you enjoy softer porn it's hard to find fault with it.
Camille is a great performer, but the soft focus in parts and the majority of content being 'just' BJs might leave you wanting more rather than totally satisfying you. It would be nice to see a few more locations for sets, too - most are around her home, but a minority are outside (eg on the beach) - more like this would be AMAZING.
Every criticism is minor, though, and not only are the videos classy and refined, but so too is the website and of course Camille. Camille and Mike have gone to a lot of effort of showing porn in a positive, artistic light and their efforts are more than justified by such a great website.
I agree that you should report this as a problem on TBP (there is a link on the right hand page of the TBP review. Websites change their policies all the time, and I imagine a lot of reviews are out of date almost as soon as they go up. It's up to members as well as TBP to make sure information is as up-to-date as possible to help everyone out.
