- Beautiful models
- Models aren’t overdone

Bottom Line: |
Caveat emptor certainly applies here. I was lured in by a special introductory price and only then saw the flaws in the site.
To be fair, I can imagine that it must be really difficult to start a new adult website when you’re using (semi?) exclusive material. Your startup costs must be high and your cash flow likely only trickles in for a while. Having said that though, this site appears to have cut a few corners.
The site’s biggest flaw for now is its size. This is a small site though they seem to be adding new material. The last addition was about two weeks ago but they are advertising a new model as ‘coming soon.’ Based on the updates there it looks like they add a model and then over a week put up five sets / scenes of her.
The concept of “Take 5” might be a flaw too. It appears that all models have only five sets or scenes on the site. The majority of models have four photo sets and one video, but two of the models have three and two. As the site grows (which I hope it will) that will mean a lot of variety in models but the downside will be limited material for a model you really like.
The sets and scenes aren’t up to 2011 standards. Photos are only 797x1200 and are much lower resolution than other similar sites. The biggest issue with the pictures though is the lack of a zip option. That’s a deal-breaker for me. I like photos though I’m more of a video collector, but if I like a model I’d certainly download zipped sets of photos. But I’m not going to sit at my computer for hours saving single photos. But with only 26 photo sets on offer now, that could be an option.
For someone who prefers videos, this site is a big disappointment. There are only nine videos on the site as I write this. The longest video is just short of 11 minutes long, the others are around five minutes long. The biggest problem with the videos is their resolution. The site promotes them as HD, but they measure that by some means that is foreign to me. The videos are 864x480 and 1700kbps, which, as I understand it, can’t be understood as being HD. The videos are offered in three different formats: QuickTime, WMV (Codec 9) and a smaller version for mobile devices. I downloaded the WMV versions because of a personal preference but I downloaded one QT file to see if the quality was better. It is marginally better.
The site appears to support download managers (I use Free Download Manager) but with just nine videos on the site it doesn’t really make a difference. I downloaded all nine videos in less than ten minutes. Download speeds were up to standard.
There isn’t a search function but one isn’t needed either at this point. You click on a model’s picture and it opens into her page with the five sets and scenes listed using large thumbnails.
The models appear to be mostly exclusive, though as otoh noted in his comment about the site there is some overlap with Breath Takers. I’m not familiar with BT, but I don’t doubt otoh when he says that there appears to be some sharing. (This seems odd in that BT and Take 5 are listed as having different parent companies at TBP. Maybe take 5 was spun of for some reason.)
The models themselves aren’t typical porn queens, and I mean that as a positive, not a negative. They look like women you’d see on the street in any city, and with a few exceptions the makeup isn’t overdone.
Subjectively, the models are very attractive but the sets / scenes are a little too soft for my tastes. The one g/g scene is so tame they could legally show it on Canadian Television after 10PM.
The site is new, so I’m hoping that they grow and do well. They’re offering a special introductory price of $14.95 but I have no idea how long that will last. Even at that lower price this isn’t a good value yet, so the site will probably only appeal to people who like a specific model. For a new site though, they aren’t up to industry standards for the technical bits. Being new, I’d certainly cut them some slack on the quantity, but the quality should have been at least up to normal standards from the beginning. Why start a site in 2011 and offer 2008 quality? |

Gloria is a goddess!
I have a group of sites that I go back to every few months. These ones are on that list.
When you do join, do that through Young Legal Porn because that site offers the TBP/PU discount. And I STRONGLY recommend paying for the full access. With models like Gloria, Beata and Ivana you'll leave too much material behind by not paying the extra $10. I'll look forward to reading your review.

Elephant - as you've read here, the webmaster reported that the file names would change on a go-forward basis to include the model name. That's in effect now. The updates I've downloaded in the past week now all have the model name.
And I definitely agree that it's a big plas to know that the site owners/staff listen to customer input. That support converted me from an unsatisfied customer to a very satisfied customer who'll encourage anyone to get a membership. These really are amazing sites!

I'm sure it can happen, but since this seems to be an 'invention' of the late 1990s and early 2000s I suspect that most of what we see is fake. These must be heady days for guys who like to see female on male golden showers.

As with your comment that Jerkoff Zone is a 199os site with limited updates, your comment here that you can get better for free really hits the mark. 100% accurate.

I'm really convinced that they use this as a way to encourage you to buy better quality stuff from VOD sites. That way they con you out of money to join this site and then pay for a better version later. Most studio sites don't do the internet well but JM Productions is far worse than most of the others. They don't even pretend to try.
I like your thought that this is an early 1990s site with some updates. That is a perfect description. And perfectly accurate!

I'm solidly into middle age, and like all middle age men I still think I'm eighteen. Hence the view that eighteen year old lasses are my target conquests. I'll tell you how that's going later.
A few years ago I did have a wee performance issue. I tried a certain blue pill and it did work, but I finally convinced my bride that it was fatigue at night and not E.D. We tried the morning and things worked without chemical aid. Problem solved.
The only other sexual injury (non penis though) was when I was a young lad screwing a young lass on a hotel room floor. The rug burn on my knees lasted for a week. As an idiot twenty-year-old I thought banging a chick on the floor was much more exciting than on a perfectly servicable bed.

Thanks dieselman. But don't take offence to the score I gave your sites - 95 is still pretty high! But I certainly tried to convey the message that the site is just about as good as it can get with the technical stuff. The models and scenes are more subjective, but in my opinion your models are among the best looking on the internet. Simply amazing!
More Gloria!!!!!

I'm not normally a fan of surprises, but I'll make an exception for you. I can't wait to see what it is. (I'm not-so-secretly hoping it has to do with Gloria doing some girl-girl or boy/girl, but I won't wager any money on that!)
Thanks for your efforts with the site (it really is an amazing site) and for your assistance in getting my membership issues sorted out.

I clicked that I love it, but I don't really "love it." I just picked that because I always (not sometimes) refer to it when making a decision.

Great review. I prefer reviews with lots of detail and you certainly provided that. The iGB download limit per day seems awfully low. The site I'm a member at right now has videos twice that size. I can understand limits, but that's just too low!

I wouldn't call any of the scenes 'intense.' They are pretty standard hardcore. I don't mean that in a bad way though. I haven't seen any face fucking, but I've seen most of what is on all the sites. There is anal sex and some anal toy play too. It's pretty good because she is so tiny, but don't look for Max Hardcore intensity here. As for DPs, I haven't seen any of those either and those are obviously easier to find by just looking at the scene description. I won't say there aren't any, but I don't recall seeing any. There are lots of b/g/g though if you're into that.
If you're planning to join I strongly recommend that you do so through Young Legal Porn. Like2fireone (I think) reported that the TBP/PU discount isn't offered when you join through 18 Only Girls. I'm not sure about any of the other sites, but I checked the join page at YLP and it does offer the discount. And if you have an interest in Beata then you'll need 'network' access for sure. Beata has a lot of material on Young Legal Porn and 18 Only Girls so saving yourself $10 will mean you leave a lot of her stuff unseen.
I hope this helps. If I stumble on a face fucking scene or DP I'll let you know, along with where to find it on the site and the scene name in case you do decide to get a membership.

Thanks for the kind words! I do hope that this site picks up a few members from the review. But I'm just telling it like it is. The site (sites if you take the full membership) are really excellent.
