Thanks for posting this and I'm glad my review was helpful. It really is a good site and that's a great deal.
Also, welcome to Porn Users. This is a friendly community with a quirky hobby.

I had forgotten about that. At the time I had a problem with three of Lansky's sites - Blacked raw, Tushy and Tushy Raw. I was able to get it fixed and all indications were that it was the sites themselves that caused the problems. VXN Billing was able to solve the issue quickly and they didn't question me as sometimes happens with other billers. It may have been that this was a problem for more than just me.

| Bottom Line: |
This is a site that’s been on my radar for a long time but I’ve never joined it until recently and I’m glad I did. I should also add that I mostly agree with slutty’s earlier review though I’ve obviously scored it higher. There do appear to be some changes, though nothing major, since slutty wrote his review so that may account for some of the differences. But… anyone interested in joining this site would do well to read slutty’s review too.
The first big difference I can point to is that the site no longer appears to operate as a network. The TBP review, and slutty’s review, mention that there are several ‘sites’ within the network. It may well be that there is a way to go to these individual ‘sites’ but if there is I haven’t found it. This would be a great way to do a high-level sort of the scenes, especially since I joined specifically to get the scenes in “The Stripper Experience, but it isn’t a big deal since all the scenes are available through the main site and the site offers a lot of effective ways to sort the scenes.
Speaking of scenes, there are currently close to 2100 on offer here. The scenes appear to be original and exclusive. The site is still active too with a new scene being uploaded approximately every two days.
As slutty also pointed out, back when the site started in 2008 it seems that it was a Jessica Jaymes vehicle. She is in almost all of the earlier videos. That’s great if you’re a Jessica Jaymes fan but not so great if you aren’t. While Jessica still appears to be active in porn she’s now 40 so that would make the site appeal to a narrower audience. But after a few years of Jessica being the main star the site did branch out. There are a lot of models who make many appearances here but there is a wide variety of popular models here too.
The site offers a broad range of models. You’ll find difference races, body types and ages here. I won’t list this as a pro or a con as it is purely subjective for me but there seems to be a lot of models here with large breasts – real and augmented. Obviously that will be a good thing for many people. But even though I tend to prefer young and petite models there was plenty here for me to like.
A lot of the models are tattooed too so you should do a deep dive in the tour pages if that isn’t your thing. One other item of note that may be a turn off for some is that there are more condoms here than I’ve seen on most other sites. If I had to take a stab at it I’d say that condoms are used in approximately a quarter of the scenes.
The site offers scenes in a broad range of themes even if you exclude things like ‘strippers.’ There are solo scenes, G/G, B/G, orgies, blowjobs, multiples and lots more. The porn is all ‘mainstream’ in that if you’re looking for anything towards the seriously kinky end of the spectrum you won’t find it here. That’s not a con either – this is just good quality ‘normal’ porn with no circus acts.
The latest scenes are offered in multiple resolutions: 272p, 320p, 480p, 720p, 1080p and even 4K with many. The older scenes obviously don’t offer the higher end resolutions but even they offer 720p. I downloaded the 720p scenes and subjectively they look good. The bitrate, in the mid-2000s for many scenes, is a bit low for my tastes but I can live with it. Newer 720p scenes have bitrates in the mid-4000 range and look better.
An essential ingredient to any site this size is a logical layout and an effective way to sort the scenes. Spizoo definitely gets this right. There is a long list of tags ranging from the expected to the obscure. These tags, coupled with the search function make finding scenes that tickle your fancy easy.
I had no issues using a download manager to download the scenes. I found the download speeds to be fast and on par with the best out there. I downloaded a lot at first to see if there was a download limit and I didn’t hit one.
The site also offers both photos and screencaps.
The site bills through Epoch so you can join knowing your information is secure and you can cancel easily.
The only real negative I can point to is that the site doesn’t offer a TBP/PU discount.
The bottom line for me is that as a somewhat jaded porn buyer I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like this site. Even though I prefer a certain look to porn models and many here don’t fit that I can understand that a site wants to appeal to a broad audience. While there is nothing here that I would consider even remotely kinky there’s nothing wrong with a site that aims for the middle of the market and to appeal to a large number of buyers – especially when the site hits that target. I definitely recommend checking out Spizoo. (Now if they’d give us PU members a discount that would make a great site even better!) |

I've had positive experiences with Rocketgate / Rocketpay and have joined several sites multiple times using them. My recollection is that I had to sign up with them to use the service where they store your CC information rather than defaulting to that.
I've never had any difficulty cancelling through them and have never seen suspicious card charges from them either.
If you aren't comfortable with them I can understand that but my experiences with them have been positive.

When I had my issues with the it appeared that the problem was with the site itself and not the biller. For some reason the sites (it happened with more than one membership) kicked through a re-join even though I hadn't been a member for over a month and had successfully cancelled. The biller I had was VXS Bill and they were really helpful. If you haven't done so already, give them a call.
Also, please let us know how you make out. While there are lot of different porn interests here the one common interest we all share is any information or warnings on billing problems.

Not a stupid question at all... The CC charge came through as "413Prod.com" While there was some indication on the TF/PF site that this was the 'biller' there was other information that said the biller was either NETBilling, Epoch or CCBill. The 413Prod site isn't exactly helpful either. This is the full extent of the entire site:
Hello. This is 413's Customer Service web page.
We are here to assist you. Our customer service staff is happy to answer any questions or resolve any problems. We want to service you the best way possible.
If you have a charge from our company (413prod.com or 413pro) on your credit card statement and wish to inquire or if you tried to reach us by phone and were unsuccessful (see business hours below), please e-mail us at:

If you are having any technical difficulty with any of our websites, please e-mail us at:
webmaster@413prod.com - We will respond within 48hrs.
Thank you.
Our business hours are:

Within United States call us toll free at 866-413-3222
Outside the US, call us at 714-997-3850
I have to confess to being very concerned at this point since I'd never heard of 413Prod and I was worried that cancelling may be almost impossible. It turned out okay though. But... what I'm still annoyed at is that TF/PF lists their billers as NETBilling, Epoch or CCBill when they don't appear to use those services. That and the 413Prod links on the TF/PF page are dead. All of that indicated a real 'uh oh' moment for me.
But it looks like everything turned out okay. I'll keep an eye for odd charges for the next while though.

That was my experience too. I wouldn't be so generous in giving them an A though. My preference, by far, is the automated cancellation that billers like Epoch and CCBill use. But I do have to admit that this was easy and effective.

I tried the toll-free number because I didn't want to wait in case this got more complex. First, for any Canadians with the same problem, the US-only number does work in Canada.
That process was more simple than with other cancellations calls I've had to make. The call went to a recording that told me to press zero for customer service and when I did that the call was answered immediately. The woman on the other end only asked my first and last names. She came back saying that she could see I had a PF/TF membership and said she'd cancel it now and send a confirmation email. Pretty much before I could hang up the phone there was a confirmation email in my inbox.
lk2fireone - let us know what your experience is please. I'm wondering if you'll have any success with the online process or if you'll end up calling too.

Thanks for this. I did email the support address even though that does seem to be linked to NETBilling. I'll give that 24 hours to see if that works and if not I'll call the toll-free number. I've got almost a week before I get rebilled so I'm not panicked yet. I'll keep you posted on my success but I think you joined a day or two before I did so you may want to start the process now.

Bah, at the rate you're working these days you'll have me overtaken by the weekend. Good luck catching up to exotics4me though. I once had fantasies of doing that and claiming the PU crown but I soon realized that was a fool's dream. He's definitely the King of Pornusers. But once you take over you know what that makes you? The Queen of PU! :-)
Canada has always been laid back but it's even more laid back since pot was legalized last October.
(All joking aside, pot being legalized was a total non-event. The sun came up and nothing changed. The same thing happened when we legalized same-sex marriage. Interestingly, the province where I live will soon be dropping the requirement to have a front licence plate on your car. There are a bunch of people saying this will be the end of civilization as we know it. I guess any change will always bring out those who see it as foretelling end times.)

The good news is that even though the US government has records of all the porn sites I've visited over the years that won't keep me from being President someday. The fact that I'm Canadian will do that. Or not. That little shit Ted Cruz was born in Canada and that doesn't seem to be an impediment for him. Frankly, the fact that he's such a weaselly turd should make him ineligible, but apparently it doesn't. And no, we don't want him back. As with Celine Dion and Justin Bieber, they're yours to keep now. We'll take Shatner and Sutherland back though. They're cool.
And thanks for the security lesson. I've noticed sites that use HTTPS where I didn't even think to look before, though I also didn't know what to look for either.

lk2fireone's Review
Thanks for posting such a detailed review. This is a favourite site of mine as well though I don't join it as regularly as I do with some other sites. I'm not really sure why.
Like you (yeah, I know I sound like a broken record) I wish there was more anal here. Given that the scenes usually feature vigorous (but not really rough) sex it seems to me that anal would be a good fit for more scenes. (Actually, it's probably the relative lack of anal that keeps me from subscribing more frequently.)
I was interested to read that the first card you tried was rejected. Back a couple of weeks ago when you posted that the site was offering a holiday special I decided that this was a great deal and I'd sign up too. I tried my 'porn' card, a Visa from a major Canadian bank, and that was rejected. I then tried my regular card, a MasterCard from the same major bank and that was declined. I then used a different browser, went to PornUsers and tried again but both cards were rejected again. Finally, I have a prepaid card with sufficient funds that I tried and it was rejected too. Then I went to an affiliate site (I won't name it as I don't want to deflect business from TBP/PU) and they had the same deal as here so I clicked through to redeem the deal and it took my porn card with no problem. For some reason the link through from TBP/PU was causing a problem.
One question: you note that "Member pages are secure (HTTPS), so less chance of hacking, and your ISP only keeps a record of your visits to the site, not the actual pages you visit." How can you tell that? I'm not tech savvy at all but it seems like this would be important to know.
BTW - I'm struggling to be polite to you because with this review we're now tied for second place here. Grrrr... :-)

mbaya's Comment
When I first read your comment I thought that you must have made a mistake. Maybe you misread the price or maybe you got sent to a special link where the site sends people it doesn’t like. But I checked and, sure enough, you’re right. I even checked an affiliate site that offers discounts and lists Swallow salon as being available for $18 but when you go to redeem that discount the price is $32.
I was an early subscriber to this site and have been a regular subscriber ever since, having been a member approximately 10 times now. I’ve never had a recurring membership though.
Objectively and subjectively I’ve always found the site to be a bit overpriced and this new price makes that even worse. As you know, it’s an oral-only site and those tend to be cheaper to reflect the lower costs of shooting those scenes. Let’s face it, it makes sense that female talent is paid more to do a double anal scene than a blowjob scene. The set is just a gauzy cloth with backlighting set up in the same house where they shoot Amateur Allure. That adds no costs.
Subjectively, while I like this site I also find it repetitive. I also don’t like that the women usually stay clothed. The site really has a narrow focus on the woman’s face as she gives head and then swallows.
I can’t help but contrast this with another site though I realize this is an apples-to-oranges comparison. A unique site, in the true meaning of that word, is Hookup Hotshot. Yes, the same set is used in almost all of the scenes and it’s just the site-owner’s house. But these scenes feature a lot of unusual sexual activity and I’m certain that the female talent get paid handsomely to do these scenes. But even though the HUHS scenes have to be substantially more to shoot than the SS ones you can get a HUHS membership for $19. (Admittedly, there are some download restrictions for the first few months.) The site owner regularly offers discount memberships though. I have a recurring $10 monthly membership and will keep that as long as it lasts.
This brings me to my hypothesis that Swallow Salon is in a death spiral. The site is a bit dull and a lot repetitive. (I’m okay with repetitive if I like what’s repeated.) I suspect that they just aren’t getting the subscriber base they were hoping for and that requires them to raise the price to cover the costs. But that starts a death spiral where the higher price keeps customers away, which means the price needs to go up again, and so on until the site folds. I’m just an armchair porn producer, but it seems to me that a better recipe to try is to change the schtick a bit and LOWER the price to drive memberships. I don’t know that this is true but I suspect it is: I suspect that HUHS makes a TON of money every month even though their scenes cost more to make and they have a lot of members with $10 memberships because the site has a large subscriber base.
I really was hoping you were wrong though…

I agree with you and I've certainly re-reviewed many sites when they've changed (for better or worse) or my opinion of them has changed over time. I am definitely not against re-reviews.
I think part of my dry spell is actually a positive thing. I recently went through my collection and deleted stuff I'm not interested in or have never watched. This still leaves me with a collection probably somewhere around 15-18TB. So I've partly been exercising some self-restraint and have vowed to spend some time browsing through some of the dustier corners of my collection rather than always be looking for the next big thing. I'm actually enjoying myself quite a bit doing this. I've been watching a lot of my favourites from the mid-1990s and into the 2000s. The video quality is terrible by today's standards but I'm having a great time watching some of my favourite scenes from all those years ago.
And I'm not worried... I know the desire to load up on active subscriptions will come roaring back soon!

Only two more reviews and you'll have the #2 spot... But considering how many points our friend exotics4me has I doubt he's in any danger of either of us overtaking him.
My 'problem' with writing reviews is that I'm just not subscribing to many sites these days and when I do they're most likely sites I've joined in the past and have already reviewed. This is the longest 'dry spell' I think I've ever had.

Thanks for posting this. I've been having a dry spell with memberships these days but this might be an offer that's too good to pass up. I'm a big fan of Teen Fidelity and the teen scenes at Porn Fidelity.
I noticed that you're only two reviews away from kicking me out of the #2 spot here. I'd better get over my dry spell, join some sites and start reviewing again!

I think the record for me was somewhere north of $50 USD. it may have been as much as $70. It was for a unique BDSM site so the costs and rarity supported the price. And the Canadian dollar was either on par with or higher than the US dollar so that helped. $40 seems to be a mental block for me these days.
