Thanks for that. I might check them out.
It bugs me that so many studio sites don't seem interested in the internet as a means of getting product to the customer. I've had memberships to many studios and I can't think of any of them that I'd say really understood the internet. There are many that don't get it, and I don't mean to pick on them, but Hustler is a good example of that disinterest. It's almost like these studios just don't understand the internet.
This site is probably not the best place to gauge how porn is accessed because we're all active buyers of web porn, but surely DVD sales are in decline as web sales increase. I can't be wrong in that. There's a neighbouring city where I go for work a lot and I used to buy and rent porn there too. One of the three adult video shops there closed down and recently another dropped DVDs and now only sells toys and clothes. That has to mean that DVD sales are in decline, so why are studios fighting it?
It's like how the music industry fought online music. They got focused on the belief that everyone wanted to steal music. They missed the fact that most of us just wanted to get the music over the internet and were more than willing to pay a fair price to do so. I suspect it's the same with porn. There will always be piracy, and that is bad, but there will always be people like the members here who are willing to pay for the effort that people put into a product.
Sorry to ramble...

I'm a fan of studio sites and I somehow missed this one, so thanks for reviewing it. It sounds like Wicked is like so many of the other studio sites though - they have the material and the resources but they still do a mediocre job of giving web access.
Are there any or many of their older titles available?

Thanks for replying with this information. I might be a bit demented myself bur Jay Sin's Milk Nymphos and Anal Buffet series' are among my all time favourites. The scenes you mention are amazing. Not for everyone though!

Great review! Thanks for posting it. I was a member about a year ago and like you I found it to be an excelelnt value. A recent review of the site stated that there were too many fetish videos, but I don't remmember that there were so many that I felt cheated. Also like you, I really wish they had more of their older titles available.
Are there many titles available from Jay Sin? I've become a huge fan of his work. He's obviously a sick, demented person who should be locked up, and I admire him for that!

I'm with Denner on this. I think BadMrFrosty should post a plain-language how-to guide for those of us who are technically dimwitted!

I have 17 if them. One is for non-porn stuff. yes, I do actually have some non-porn stuff. 12 are for 'primary' porn storage. They range in size from 120GB to 1TB with probably 4 of them being 1TB. 4 of them are AC-powered large ones (2 and 3 TB that I use only for backup.
Coincidentally, I'm planning to reduce the number by one drive today by migrating the contents of my sole 120GB drive onto my 'active' 1TB drive.
I've been adding drives at a much quicker pace these days. My brother-in-law works for my ISP and he told me that even though there is a soft cap of 250GB per month it isn't being monitored or enforced so I've been downloading like a mad bastard. Thanks to current memberships to ALS Scan and Fame digital I'll probably fill a 1TB drive this month alone.

I agree with all of the above. I always read both the TBP review and any PU reviews and comments before subscribing to a site. I rely on TBP for a lot of technical details and any warnings that might be useful. But I also rely on their reviews. They tend to be more objective and that's a good thing since many PU reviews are more subjective. Add the two together and you can get an excellent idea of what a site is like.

If you don't do it now, I'd highly recommend going to the parent website of this one before joining any site. The Best Porn has a ton of good information so even if the site you wanted to join was hiding the fact that it was streaming only the staff at TBP would let you know that. Same with things like download limits and DRM. The reviews at PU usually don't go into the technical detail that they do at TBP. TBP and PU are the only source I use and trust on internet porn.
As for the gay site reviews, there are certainly several gay guys posting here now so maybe it will reach a critcal mass and really take off. Here's hoping. It will make this site more thorough.

I'd guess that your thoughts about why the gay site is more tame is correct. People tend to be a bit more homophobic about male homosexuality so the people at Kink need to be more discrete.
Thanks for the comments on my review. There seem to be several big fans of Kink on this site.

Thanks for this. I've search around 21Sextury and can't find any information that leads me to think that the three-month price structure is still there. I hope I just haven't missed it.

It surprises me that there are sites that offer streaming only. I might be wrong, but I'd guess that most people want to have something to show for the money they spend. But maybe with the rise in things like iPhones, iPads, iPods, Playbooks, etc there is a market for people who only want to stream.
And not to sound patronizing or anything because I'm not meaning it that way, but it's good to see gay porn getting some attention from members. PU seems to have a pretty diverse membership but the gay community was definitely keeping a low profile for a long time.

Thanks. I looked at both at TBP but I'm not sure if the sites they list have been updated since 21Setury made the change. There are several sites within 21Sextreme that I'd be interested in, but 21Setury defintely has more. With the TBP discount I'll probably take a membership to both eventually.

Thanks pat. I was hoping that this site would simplify their membership. I'll definitely check it out. 21Sextury seems to be a favourite around here.

I really should try 21Sextury, but the confusing membership puts me off.

$38.95!!!!! Wow! That seems extremely pricey. And what a poor record of customer service if they don't have the decency to let you know they need updated credit card information.

Thanks for the information and thanks for the offer. I might take the plunge someday. And it would probably be Asian as they are definitely more feminine.

I watch very little 'live' TV. I PVR a lot of documentaries and watch stuff on the military channel, though lately they've just been rerunning the same stuff over and over.
News would be the next thing. Local and regional news (for a few minutes anyway when they finish the real news and start on the 'human interest' crap. World news comes from CBC and BBC, but mostly from two newspapers.
I do occasionally get introduced to some great British comedy shows. Most are well off current run. Like "Keeping Up Appearances," "Father Ted," "Black Books" and even "The Mighty Boosh." I'm sure there is a lot of crap on British TV too, but they do seem to do it better than those of us in the colonies.

I'm in the last week of a membership at this site and can confirm that. If that price doesn't show up, clear your history and try again. The TBP/PU price makes this an excellent value.

I agree. Having videos broken down into segments in 2011 is not acceptable. I can see offering the option for segments, but not having that as the only choice.

pat, I don't know how you do it. I'm really impressed at how you can go though so many sites. But I think it's like we once wrote that you're really selective in what you download and I'm not. It take me a while to get through a site. At this rate, you'll be the top PU here someday.

Thanks for this information pat, I may have to check it out anyway, even though the scene doesn't sound all that great. I'll check out Teen Mega World too.

I'm not a big picture user but it makes no sense to offer picture sets without a zip option.

That all makes sense. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I suspect that a big part of the reason why we think differently about this site is that you prefer pictures and I prefer video. And I should point out that I usually only download the public/outdoor segments of the videos, so I guess that's me saying that the rest is a little uninspiring too.
Your explanation of the photo shoots being technically good but artistically lacking makes perfect sense to me. Whether or not a reader agrees with that assessment, it is still a valid opinion.
But, as you say, we agree on one thing: the models are stunning. Maybe my problem is I tend to be too subjective when reviewing the site and let that get in the way of some objectivity. Hmmmm... that's something for me to think about. We're all going to have a different subjective reaction to a site, but reviews are probably better staying objective.
Thanks for the reply. I look forward to reading more from you and more back-and-forth on a topic we both obviously enjoy.
