The last time I was a member on ALS Angels, there wasn't anything showing up in new updates. If I go back now and look I see new scenes, so I apologize and will remove that part from my review.
Hard to say whose fault it is on the "purchase" part. When you tell me ALS Scan became part of Met-Art's network in my mind that means they bought it, especially since they don't manage ALS Angels.
I'm at least glad to hear Alex is as much involved as I thought he was, based on the casting videos and hearing him laugh at the assistant for struggling with different languages.
One last part, does Met-Art managing ALS Scan, but not ALS Angels, mean there won't be anymore ALS Scan + ALS Angels deals like there used to be?
Not much has changed there. There is a more recent public one titled, "In Plain View", but it's minimal in public content. Towards the end of the scene the model (still nude) jogs down to the intersection and waves at a few cars. The tags make it more frustrating since they have a "public nudity" tag, but some of those sets are around the pool with no one else around. They do have a couple of hitchhiking scenes that could be seen as public nudity, but there's not as much public content as there used to be and the beach trips are even hard to tell on. There's a few in 2012, but I'm thinking they're remastered from old scenes since Sandy from Club Sandy is in one of them.
Where I live now there is a local pizza place that far surpasses any pizza I had ate on the west coast. Their most popular pizza is the hamburger one. It's a traditional pizza with ground beef under the cheese. It's the best one topping pizza I've ever ate. They also specialize in a deluxe that's so thick you have to eat it in a bowl or on a plate with a fork. I can usually nearly eat a large pizza by myself, but with that deluxe, I can only eat 3-4 pieces.

Pros:
- ALS Scan is a site about young women which adds some believable, more life-like scenarios than your average porn site does.
- I've joked about it before and continue to feel like ALS has a factory somewhere off the grid that produces these innocent, pretty, girl-next door types who like being naked.
- I can't say for sure how much the old owner (Met-Art managed) is still involved, but nearly all of the casting videos I've watched have him talking in them. And that's a big plus (See BL)
- Daily updates, usually photo set one day, video the next with occasional BTS and interview videos thrown in.
- Long time ALS fans will like the PU price. I joined this site, 17 times, from 2006-2011 at $29.95 each time. One of the few sites a year membership is worth considering.
- Boy/girl scenes also show up some. For many years it was just a solo/lesbian site.
- High quality all-around (numbers in BL).
- Site has a personality. There's a fun, relaxed vibe with most of the content.
Cons:
- Any site like this one can become repetitive.
- Several longtime PU members didn't like the use of gynecological instruments and close-ups.
Bottom Line:
Admittedly, I always preferred ALS Angels to ALS Scan, but it was solely based on ALS Angels having curvier models. ALS Scan's technical quality was better even back then. This is based on how ALS Angels operated, if a girl was "too curvy" for ALS Scan she ended up on ALS Angels. What's too curvy? Eve Angel. All 5'6" 130 pounds of her. Looking at ALS Scan's current models they still prefer the smaller, slimmer girls. Back then the webmaster Alex was fair to the curvier girls by having ALS Angels for them, but I never really understood how a woman with 36C boobs could be considered "too curvy". That at least should let you know you're not going to get a lot of curvy models here.
What you do get are lots of slimmer, sportier, playful girls. I mentioned in the pros that I hear Alex's name in the casting videos and believe he's a very important part of ALS' success. Everyone seems to enjoy working with him and being around him. His interviews with models are top-notch, maybe the best in the business (sorry Zoliboy). The models almost always are relaxed during their scenes and I do believe you get much more emotion and enjoyment from the models when they are comfortable.
The casting videos are worth mentioning as I hadn't seen them recently. They're filled with new talent looking to make a good first impression. Though the casting videos do not have any type of sexual action in them. They do have full nudity.
The regular solo scenes on ALS are some of the best you'll find, though you will run into some extreme insertions and gynecological closeups. As much as I like lesbian scenes, my favorite girl/girl scenes in all of porn are here on ALS. I think it started innocent enough. ALS has always had a female assistant or two, but unlike other sites, they will work this assistant into a solo scene by a model. The assistant will then help the model lube up, insert something they normally couldn't insert and even a little licking, kissing, fingering.
The boy/girl scenes are mostly misses for me, but that's because I don't join ALS to see boy/girl scenes. Though I shouldn't say much since these scenes are pretty rare. I'm only counting roughly one per month boy/girl scene.
ALS Scan has always been a site with high technical quality standards. That hasn't changed and unlike a lot of sites these days, they still give you a huge amount of photos per photo set. You rarely see a set with less than 200 photos and some go as high as 700 photos, with 300-350 being an average. These photo sets are available in downloadable zips and come in 3 qualities: low (1000 high end), medium (2000 high end), large (4500 high end).
There's roughly 1,000 videos in 1080p quality. Some of the newer videos are also available in 4k, though I honestly don't download those since I don't have a 4k monitor nor do I want to start investing in more hard drives to store all those huge files in.
The biggest plus you will see with Met-Art's management of ALS Scan is in the navigation. Used to you would open a page that had tiny thumbnail headshots of every single model on the site. Now the preview pictures are larger and there's easy to use and find "photography", "latest updates", "videos" tabs at the top of the page as well as a model directory.
It's worth searching back into the older content to find all of the "beach" trips, where webmaster Alex takes several models to a beach and they record everything from playing around on the beach to masturbation in front of the other models while the other models eat breakfast. You get a lot of unscripted, humorous moments in those.
I still believe Met-Art made the biggest and best impact at Viv Thomas, but ALS Scan didn't really need a lot done to it. Overall, I think it's the best site in the Met-Art network and brings the best of "girl" porn you can get. There's plenty of uniqueness and creativity as well. From body-painting in public to public flashing to just plain nudity and masturbation. It's those female assistant one becoming involved ones that I like best, but truthfully, there's hardly ever a scene I don't like.
The cons are nothing more than me nitpicking. One that I didn't mention is the wrong update dates on scenes. I saw one yesterday that said it was released in 2010, but the "cover" of the scene said "Budapest 2007". Again, it's hardly worth complaining about.
One other thing to mention that could bother some is the use of remastered old scenes as new updates. These don't happen that much and I personally like them.
One of my all-time favorite sites and it's one of the few that continues to impress me consistently. Highly recommended.
True story:
My uncle was retired from the US Army and was paralyzed from the waist down. When I was (lets say) 18, he told me, "The most important thing you'll ever learn about dick size is it doesn't matter as long as you learn to use your tongue." He had always had a girlfriend up until he died so I have no reason to believe he was wrong.
I had forgotten about this site until I saw your comment. This is all just me thinking out-loud, but I used to talk to their webmaster on a weekly basis. That was back in 2009-2010. Somewhere around late 2010, I stopped receiving replies from him and haven't heard from him since. It was a site with tons of potential when it first started out. He was very passionate about making the site good. If I remember correctly, he was a businessman who had never been involved in any kind of porn before this site. He loved getting feedback from members, tips on up and coming models and even in his site design and functionality. He had two of the top photographers working for the site back then, but as you're seeing, everything just suddenly stopped and dropped off. I'll send him an email, but won't hold my breath on him replying.
I wondered about the impact on the customer service of those networks. I had talked to DDF's support several times over the years and 21 Sextury's Peter used to email me some, but haven't heard from either of them for several years now. Also always thought both had top-notch tech support.
I actually thought of you when I saw all those anal scenes. My membership is still going thanks to accumulated credits and still have enough to go for 3 more months. If the credit counter hadn't refreshed on me I don't think I would have ever had to pay for 21 Sextury again. When I first signed up it said I had 56,000 credits, but when I went to the updates page it refreshed the credits to 16,000, still enough to join four or five times.
Could be a case of people getting Viv Thomas and Viv Thomas Video mixed up. I don't remember Viv Thomas (that Met Art bought) having much hardcore on it, but Viv Thomas Video (that I don't think Met Art bought) having lots of hardcore on it. I joined Viv Thomas Video a few months ago to pick up some scenes I've lost or misplaced and it was "updating" with recycled videos from 6 years ago, but it did have a lot of hardcore still on it.
As for Viv Thomas that Met Art bought, it still has some hardcore, but it's a very small percentage (maybe 10%), so there is still some hardcore on it, but nothing like Viv Thomas Video had.

Pros:
- Met-Art does a fine job of keeping the legendary Viv Thomas' site running strong.
- Watching the videos and looking at the photos almost makes you believe the photographers either studied Viv's style of shooting or were his apprentices.
- Lots of lesbian action, a long-time strong point of Viv Thomas.
- Daily updates, video one day, photo set the next day, video the next and so on.
- Very high technical quality (will go into in BL).
- Quite a bit of Viv's older content is still here, but there's a slight con below about this.
- Easy to navigate. A search box. An advanced search option. Update tab, models tab, photos tab, videos tab. Everything works great.
- Passionate sex, another Viv staple and it's still here. Lots of kissing between the women.
- Photos are downloadable in zips with the high quality option nearing 6000 on the high end.
- Top-tier Euro models ... if those still exist and once again, just like Viv always booked.
Cons:
- There's not a lot to complain about it here. I think Met-Art has improved this site, though I scored it a 92 many years back and a 92 today, but there's improvement. I just think the whole field of porn sites have improved quite a bit.
- Could be a little better if the videos had BTS on the thumbnail so I don't click them thinking it's an action video.
Bottom Line:
Viv Thomas had two sites. One was this one I'm reviewing, the other was just Viv Thomas Video. Viv Thomas Video site is one of my all-time favorite sites for lesbian content. This one I'm reviewing used to be mostly photos with the occasional interview/BTS video, but it now has Viv Thomas Video level videos.
Viv Thomas was one of the innovators of modern Euro porn. He specialized in the passionate lesbian sex world known as "leg sex". Anytime you saw pictures of Viv at an adult function, there would be 3-5 top models standing around him, hugging him, etc...
It's not unusual for one of his lesbian scenes to be 25-30 minutes in length, with 20 minutes of the scene being the models being fully dressed, kissing, hands up each other shirts, down each others pants, tongues in each others mouth. And somehow, Met-Art in buying the site, have been able to closely replicate Viv's style.
The first big technical change: Viv's sites never were at the top of field in terms of technical quality. Seems like his photos always topped out at 2000 high end and videos were 360p back when he was running the sites. The photos are now coming in at near 6000 long end and the videos are loaded with options. The biggest surprise for me, though it's not something I download is the amount of videos with the 4K option. They date back to May 2015, so that's 9-10 months of videos with the 4K option. The last 4-5 years of videos also have the 1080p option.
Then there's the ones I usually avoid at all costs. The interview videos, but you have to see Viv's if you haven't. They're unlike any interview video of models you've seen. Viv never seems awestruck by the models or silly or demanding of ignorant information. He just talks to them like they are his friends. I always thought those were a nice touch.
There's also quite a bit of content on this site. As of 2/9/2016, there's 2,663 photo sets and over 1,300 videos. Thanks to the new ownership, Met-Art has started filming these scenes similar to how Sex Art does. There's a similar basis in 4-5 scenes and they are grouped together so you can watch them in succession if you wanted to do that.
You'll have a hard time finding a single unattractive model here and there's at least some curvier models than most Euro sites are doing these days. I know that by giving it a 92, I'm grouping it in the "best of class" and I believe it is and it's a class it's not even usually categorized in ... lesbian. I prefer it over all the other lesbian sites. Met-Art's network has quite a few of these sites they've bought from the original producers and I think this is the one they've done the best job with. Highly recommended.

Pros:
- A nice alternative for when you've viewed every model on Met-Art.
- Owned by Met-Art, has similarly high production values as Met-Art's other sites.
- Update schedule is straightforward. Updates daily. You get 1 video a week and 6 photo sets per week.
- Videos have 1080p option (since early 2007) and photos are close to 6000 on the long end and have been for five years. Prior to that they were still over 4000 on the long end.
- 320 models with most having multiple scenes/videos/photo sets.
- Has always been a little more risky than Met-Art has been, though Met-Art is similar to Errotica Archives now in terms of what all they show.
- Quite a few girls you don't see on many sites, which led to me joining it since they had 3 models I've collected for nearly 10 years.
- I'm going to say it's exclusive content, but the archive in the name bothers me since this site is owned by Met-Art. I don't recognize any of the sets.
Cons:
- I had a love/hate relationship with Met-Art for many years and I kind of feel the same way about Errotica Archives. They have the models, the high technical quality, then I open a photo set and everything feels bland.
- Videos that tease masturbation by ... masturbating. I like tease as much as anyone does, but if you're going to be fully nude, legs spread, touching yourself, just keep going instead of rolling over into another sexual position only to repeat the above "tease".
- Site kind of feels like a knock-off of Met-Art or an extension, which I think it used to be offered in a bundle with Met-Art years ago.
- Navigation needs a "photos" tab. It has a "top photos" tab which shows me the highest rated or most popular photos, but doesn't line all the photo sets up for me. Videos/films has its own tab, so I don't get why there's not a photo tab.
Bottom Line:
These type of sites are always hard for me to review. Naked, beautiful women. Showing everything they have. Only to disappear like an oasis. Gives new meaning to came and gone.
This site does nearly everything right. Consistent updates, high technical quality videos and photos in zip downloads. Price is good with the PU discount. But I've seen it all before. The main draw for me was the content of models Veronica Fasterova (Verunka on this site), Dominika A/Dominika C (Dominika on this site) and Chiara. Errotica Archives has over 40 photo sets and videos of these 3 models who I've collected for 5+ years each.
Beyond those three there was some interest, but most of the content is fairly predictable and tame. There are sets with more than one girl in them, but somehow they have figured out a way to take 75-100 photos without the models doing anything remotely sexual. The videos show the model masturbating, starting to get into it only to quickly change positions and start this same pattern again.
I was more open to these types of sets a few years ago, but I just don't get much out of them these days.
I do think the site is very good at what it does. Young, slim, nude models frolicking in the park. Running around naked prior to the filming even starting since most sets start with the model completely nude. Which is a no-no with me. Technically, the site is a 90, but in terms of entertainment for me it's maybe an 80 ... and that's a maybe. I went with 82 since it is a good site, but it would be higher for anyone who likes artsy, pretty pictures.
Thanks Witty, I've had a lot of trouble ever really getting into heartcore. I don't remember which of the heartcore sites it was, but one had the same guy in three straight scenes ... with three different women. Sex Art was very bad for the no lead-up. They've seemingly gotten around this by laying out a basis/theme for their scenes now. It at least makes a little sense, but I have to shut off whatever skeptical thoughts enter my mind on most scenes.

Pros:
- One of the longest-running, largest European model networks on the internet.
- The fact that I'm worried about character limit in the pros should be a pro in and of itself.
- Multiple sites in this network had long runs as successful standalone sites, you now get them all for one low price.
- Averages two updates per day across the network. Video and picture set included in each update.
- Had a TBP/PU discount of $14.95 when I joined.
- 12,540 exclusive scenes.
- Has been split into three separate networks, 21 Sextury, 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals. Each requires a separate membership, but I had over 15,000 credits on my account and used those to join the other two networks, will give full explanation in bottom line.
- Lifetime membership includes credits earned for loyalty. The lifetime membership allows you to sign in even after your membership runs out to see what all new content has been added.
- Generally easy network to navigate.
- Excellent download speeds.
Cons:
- I'm guessing the credits system will always be somewhat confusing for new(er) members.
- The splitting of the networks makes it harder to find old scenes unless you remember which site they were from.
- Going to use the word "confusing" again as a member of 21 Sextury's sites for 10+ years, even I find the layout confusing.
Bottom Line:
There's been a lot of confusion on 21 Sextury over the last 5 years. They originally just put all of their sites on one network and had a descending monthly price scale for loyal members. Then they added the credits system. Then they decided to split the one network site into two networks. Then they added a completely new network, 21 Naturals. I'm all for change/evolution in technology, but it can be a little overwhelming and confusing.
I'll start with the credit system. By using the same email/login each time you join, you receive loyalty points. These loyalty points can be used for a couple of things:
You can sign-in after your membership has ended and use credits to buy a single new scene that has been added as example. You can even renew or start a membership to any of their three networks with the credits as well.
I personally like the credits system. For many years, as a collector of 6-7 specific European models it made it easy and cheaper to sign in and use my credits to buy a single new Eve Angel/Sophie Moone/Mia Stone scene instead of having to rejoin for a full month.
On my most recent membership, I was able to join 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals for roughly 3500 credits each. Which is the one question I have. I really don't know how many loyalty credits you receive for each action. Still, it's the same as getting a free month membership or being able to pick up a new scene or two of your favorite model without having to rejoin.
There's lots of similarities between 21 Sextury and DDF, I think they're now even owned by the same company. 21 Sextury has Club Sandy, Pix and Video, Sweet Sophie Moone and Footsie Babes, to name four of the 21 sites included with it. In my past history here on PU, there's standalone reviews of those four sites. Meaning I used to pay the premium $29.99 each for those sites. So you can see how this network is considered an excellent value.
A little complaining: There's confusion. When I go to the main page of the network there's updates. Nearly every other one says, "Bonus content". What is it bonus content from? Another site? If you click on the updates you're taken to a download page that allows you to stream the video, download the video, look at the photos, download the photos, but the photo downloads are 1920 high end just like the videos. At that, the photos aren't even highlighted as if they don't exist.
The main page itself also has a whole toolbar of options including scenes, models, websites, 3D Sex Games, Live Sex, Interactive, Try These, Settings and Favorites. Throw in three separate networks, bonus content, credits and you can see how this network is most likely the most complicated on the internet.
The good news is if you're like me and use the keep it simple stupid method, you'll be fine. Though I have to admit, I'm curious about why there's a 3D Sex Games, Interactive, Livesex difference. Seems like two of those should be the same.
Those who like anal will love this network. Especially when it comes to the sites that are still active and updating. The still updating sites: Asshole Fever, Anal Teen Angels, Butt Plays, Club Sandy, DP Fanatics, Footsie Babes, Gapeland and Pix and Video. I think they used every word possible to describe anal sex in those site titles.
The sad part for me? Some of my favorite sites on the network have stopped updating. I can't count Sweet Sophie Moone since as far as I know she has retired, but also Lets Play Lez, Lez Cuties, Nude Fight Club and Cuties Galore have all stopped updating. It seems to show the shift from the softer, more solo/lesbian content they were known for to a harder, more 2016ish anal, hardcore, rough trend. Not that I don't watch the harder, anal, rougher scenes, but who isn't doing the harder, anal, rougher scenes these days? That change in style led me to lowering the score to a 90.
I can't really fault the content that is here and the quality is as good as you'll find on a network. They have 1080p options as far back as 2008 and continue to have 1080p options on all videos. It's just instead of the cute innocent 19 year old model stripping, blushing a little, then losing herself in a 15 minute masturbation scene, she's got two men all over her with four balls fighting for supremacy of her nether regions.
They do a lot of things right at 21 Sextury, best customer service I've ever dealt with, though new ownership might change that, very high quality content, zipped photos, a backlog of content that is worth owning if you don't already and realistically, if you've not been a member before, you could join for a year and still not see everything.
I wouldn't ever steer anyone away from 21 Sextury, simply because it's everything I've said above, but for those who have been long time members it does look like things are starting to change and at least for me, that change in style of scenes, isn't a favorable one. Oh well, I can always go look at their 100+ scenes of Eve Angel.

Pros:
- Very high production value content. The closer to hardcore sister site of Met-Art.
- All videos (566 as of 1/18/2016)have up to 1080p option. Downloadable in four different qualities. See Bottom Line.
- All photo sets (824 as of 1/18/2016)are downloadable in three different resolutions and are zipped.
- Daily update(s). One day is a photo set. The next is a video and the video update comes with accompanying photo set.
- Download speeds are consistently very good (90%+ of max download speed).
- Good blend of genres: Solo, lesbian, straight and threesomes.
- Models are generally very pretty and natural.
- Easy to add other sites owned by Met-Art and the discounts are good.
Cons:
- Maybe half the scenes feel formulaic. This could be a personal thing, but I've always had trouble grasping the concept of the heartcore genre.
- Could use a better search engine. Though I'm admittedly nitpicking.
- For some reason, the site likes to forget my login information and make me re-enter it, but it only happens every few days.
Bottom Line:
Back when Sex-Art first opened (2012), I reviewed it and said something about the almost limitless potential it has. They are now reaching very high. This is the concept of the site. It's an artsy site that loses a little control and becomes heartcore.
Everything about the content reminds me of Met-Art except that losing control part. The one expected problem is there and I've thought this problem appears on all heartcore sites ... if you're bringing love and mushiness into porn, it needs to be believable. Not to knock porn stars, but they aren't the best actors. Luckily, a lot of the couples, even threesomes, do have good chemistry and pull off some believable scenes.
One of my biggest complaints about Sex-Art a few years ago was their "series" movies. It just seemed like they were trying way too hard to create scenes that when put together created a series or full movie. Those are now tucked away on the site in a section to themselves and haven't been updated since 2012. They're still creating the series style of videos, but they're no longer trying to create a cohesive movie out of them. They just follow the same premise as the other scenes in the series.
Artsy scenes still make their way into the updates, but they're not near as silly or staged.
I'll admit, I have problems with the heartcore genre, but I think Sex-Art does it better than any of the others I've tried. I especially like the threesome scenes where one woman is playing the role of the friend who is watching then gets involved.
There are solo scenes that I also like. The recent Vox series of solo scenes reminds me a lot of sites like I Feel Myself where the camera focuses on the face of the model, but Sex-Art then also shows the rest of the model as well.
So, in terms of their actual content, I think they've improved a great deal over the last few years.
On the technical side of things, there really can't be much better than what Sex-Art offers.
Photo sets are available in zips at:
Low - 1024 high end, Medium - 2048 high end and High - 5600+ high end.
Videos are available in:
280p, 360p, 720p and 1080p. It's worth noting, there are scenes that have the 4K option as well, but there's no way for me to filter those down to get an exact number.
The search engine is my only real con and it's minor. You can just open all new updates in order or search by model name or go to a model list. This is where it gets a little frustrating. In the advanced search, you can search for number of performers, but there's no way to narrow those results down any further.
For example: Number of performers 2+, will open up all scenes with 2+ performers, but you can't then say, "Only lesbian" or "threesomes". Trust me, it's nitpicking and I know that, but it could hinder your search a little.
One of the things I like about Sex-Art is that nearly every scene starts with the performers dressed. This was long a complaint of mine about Met-Art and sets that start nude.
It's very hard to find anything other than nitpicking faults with Sex-Art. I've been a member for 6 straight months now and after a few months break, I'll probably go back for the year membership.
Also worth mentioning they do go into more genres despite being a heartcore site. There's light bondage in the girl/girl/group scenes and there isn't as much mushiness as most heartcore sites have. If you insist on another personal complaint, there's hardly a curvy woman to be found. This is very similar to Met-Art and should be the only thing stopping potential members from trying it.

Pros:
- A newer network from the same people who brought us 21 Sextury.
- I could be wrong, but from looking at the models on this network, I don't see a single set of implants or any tattoos (this is only a pro for some, as neither of those bother me).
- Good amount of content, close to 400 scenes, includes picture set and video with each scene.
- Every scene on the site has 1080p video option, 540p, 480p and the small mobile resolution.
- Pictures get into resolutions that remind me of the top-tier photo sites, many are 6000 high end and all sets come zipped.
- Download speeds are very good, over 90% of my max download speed.
- Despite being a "softer" network, it does have a whole section (around 30 scenes) of anal sex and includes over 80 scenes of foot sex, a genre that 21 Sextury with their Footsie Babes site, along with DDF and Viv Thomas mastered long ago. Nice to see it making a comeback.
Cons:
- It's hard to complain about navigation, but I'm going to. Should be easy to navigate with less than 500 scenes, but the search functions don't seem to recognize this network. What I mean, if I click a model's name on 21 Naturals network, it shows me all of the model's scenes on 21 Sextury, 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals, instead of just 21 Naturals.
- I'm putting this in cons though I know it's a positive for a lot of members. This network is similar to X-Art, Sex Art, believe the words I've heard used are glamcore and heartcore. It's not that I have a problem with it, but I usually prefer a little bit harder than what they offer.
- Falls into the same pitfalls other heartcore sites fall into. Put an experienced veteran male actor with an 18 year old innocent, inexperienced model who has never had anal sex. Now make it sensual and erotic. It ends up looking painful.
Bottom Line:
The heartcore genre has been going strong for several years, but I never really saw it as innovative or new even. This network itself includes a "foot/leg sex" site. I believe heartcore is just an extension of "foot/leg sex". The only difference being heartcore doesn't usually include any leg/foot focus. Funny thing is, I'm not a foot fetishist at all, but Viv Thomas especially, excelled at producing what he called "leg sex". Besides having some focus on foot/leg it was typically more believable, emotional, passionate sex.
My point there is they really don't need a foot/leg sex site in this network since the majority of the scenes fall into the foot/leg sex genre.
One big plus for this network compared to other heartcore sites is there's some spontaneity in the scenes. Whether it's produced/staged/written in or not, it's believable enough to make those scenes stand out. This could be something as simple as both the guy and girl being naked, you're waiting for the typical formulaic pattern to start only to see a 5-7 minute handjob from the woman instead.
The quality of everything is worth a mention. Having nearly 400 total scenes at 1080p, being exclusive content is pretty impressive. As are the near 6000 long end pictures. Maybe it's just me on this one, but the pictures I've looked at have a cooler feeling to them than the normal 21 Sextury style of very warm photography. It's not better or worse, but it surprised me nonetheless.
The site updates 3 times per week. Each update includes one video and a full picture set. That is probably a fine line of whether they should try to add more content to beef up their numbers or just stick with the slower, high-quality method.
As of 1/1/2016, there are 31 scenes grouped into "erotic anal", 85 scenes grouped into "foot art" and another 277 scenes not separated into any particular genre.
I should throw in here that there's no lesbian content whatsoever on this network. There's a minimal amount of solo. I also haven't seen anything with more than 2 people in a scene. It's very straightforward.
I know we've had many disagreements over tattoos and implants here at PU, so those who dislike either or both of those should definitely check this network out. Unless I'm not paying attention or someone is good with video editing, I can't remember seeing any tattoos or implants on this network. The models vary from cute to pretty. Not a lot of variety in the models, most are slim, light complexion and for the believable factor, a lot of the sex seems genuinely painful to them. I use to say 21 Sextury has a factory somewhere where they churn out these pretty, slender models and this network won't make me change my mind on that.
I could definitely recommend it to those who like heartcore and those who like natural models. Those who like straightforward boy/girl sex. Those who have to have everything in HD and big pictures, but would warn that this genre can be very redundant. With a few more navigation options within the network, and maybe some more updates, this network could easily jump into the 90s.

Pros:
- A large network that is a spin-off of the more mainstream 21 Sextury network. The tagline says it all, "The darker side of 21 Sextury".
- Has some rare classic material of mostly retired top-tier Euro models.
- If you like variety, this network is for you. One of those trendier terms of the last few years applies as well, pan-sexuality.
- Videos over the last 6 years are 720p or higher. Pictures come in zips and nearly all scenes/sets have a video set and picture set. The photography style sticks to the 21 Sextury formula, very vivid colors, warm backgrounds. The 1080p video option came along in late 2010.
- Billing with Epoch, also includes lifetime account and credits, which I'll try to explain in Bottom Line.
- Download speeds are as good as I've gotten. I'm downloading 4 scenes as I type this review at 2.2 MB/s. About the most I'll ever see on a download is 9 MB/s.
Cons:
- I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this network isn't for everyone.
- I'm also going to guarantee the different networks within a network is confusing for some. I used my tried and true method of trial and error to test everything out and will further it in the Bottom Line.
- Despite the site having a really pretty layout, there's parts I miss from the old site, like clearly labeled updated dates. As it is, you have to click on the scenes themselves to see when they were added. That's a minor one that goes into my obsessive-compulsive personality.
Bottom Line:
This is one of those networks that makes you wonder if you realized what you had joined when you join it. I'm all for different strokes for different folks, but this one really pushes the boundaries.
Many years ago, I reviewed 21 Sextury's Zoliboy site and gave it a high score. At that time, Zoliboy was an assistant at the 21 Sextury studio and mostly had these sets with top-tier Euro models during the Euro boom period of the mid to late 2000 decade. Models like Eve Angel, Anetta Keys, stood out, even above their already high standards. They had genuine fun with Zoli. Not sex. Just mostly the nice, funny, charismatic Zoli joking with them, trying to get them to flash, trying to get them naked, begging and groveling to touch them. I called Zoliboy one of the best sites of its time. It was different and unique. Then one day, I rejoined and the site had changed completely. Gone were the top-tier models, replaced with older models, below-average looking models, out of shape models. I made a somewhat rude, but good-nature joke about the models "dropping off" and Zoli responded by putting a model on his main page with a brown paper bag over her head.
Zoli is here on this network and things are still dropping off in terms of model quality. Zoli is a big part of the site Teach Me Fisting, which isn't about boxing or punching.
Here's the problem, only four of those sites are still updating. Here's the second problem, if you are offended by anything like puking, spitting, the more disgusting side of porn, you're going to have a problem with some of these sites. Even Zoli has been guilty of the scenes with models puking in them.
I normally wouldn't mention something like that, but I really can't stand those scenes.
Onto this credits system since I originally joined 21 Sextury, not 21 Sextreme. The system recognized my email account as a past member and pulled up my history. My credits were showing as 59,840. My understanding always was that you received X amount for time as a member, bonuses for signing in even without a subscription, the basic loyalty bonuses. That sounded like a lot of credits, so I opened up my profile, only to see my credits drop to 15,925. It was there that I could get a 30 day membership to 21 Sextreme and/or 21 Naturals for roughly 3,500 credits each. So, by the looks of it, by joining 21 Sextury, I could use my credits to also join both 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals. That's an intriguing deal, but also makes me wonder why split them up?
The other use for the credits is for when your membership runs out. You can still sign in with your account and say your favorite model gets a new scene a day after your subscription runs out, you can use some of your credits to buy that one scene instead of signing up for another month. I will say I've always supported that part.
Overall, 21 Sextreme isn't for me. There's some scenes that were okay. There's still plenty of pretty models around, but it's just not what I expect from 21 Sextury. Now sure, I'll be the first one to complain about sites becoming stale and formulaic, but that doesn't mean you have to jump to the polar opposite side either.
For what it's worth, those old scenes on Zoli, that have the mostly-retired top-tier Euro models are still on Zoli's site on this network. If you're a collector, those scenes are worth a join by themselves.
I'm not used to scoring sites below an 80, but I still would recommend it for those who like the rougher edge of models, their porn and their sexual boundaries. I personally didn't find anything except the puking offensive, and knowing our society, there's probably people who even like that part.
The score would have been lower, based solely on my interest and enjoyment of the content, but staying unbiased makes it hard to go any lower since they do have HD content for 6-7 years now and the site works flawlessly. I'll even throw in one of my old scales to adjust my score accordingly to your taste.
If you like tranny, bi, gay, very kinky, sometimes gross, rough, bondage sex and prefer normal to below average looking women, then add 12 points to my score. If you think those all sound awful then take 12 points off my score.
As for me, I doubt I'll be back to this network again.

Pros:
- A large site that has returned more to its amateur roots.
- In my opinion, the best site for those who like public flashing, touching, as these once favorites have now returned in nearly every new update.
- Models are starting to become more varied in appearance. There's been several busty-type models added recently (Darcie is a favorite). Also seeing more dark haired models, there was a time when it seemed like 90% of new models on here were blonde.
- Video and photo quality are both excellent, zips for downloading photo sets.
- Lots of sporty girls, flexible, working out, dancing.
- Site navigation has improved greatly.
Cons:
- The days of the more extreme FTV seem to be over. You rarely see the giant dildos or the FTV Toy, but it's not a con for me, could be for others.
- Webmaster or whoever programs the site goes a little overboard with the use of tags, really, it's not public nudity just because the model gets nude in a private backyard in Arizona.
- And the big one, the videos are still split into parts. I don't know how many times I've reviewed FTV or commented about it, but despite all the reasoning I've heard, "The different clips show the progression of the scene" was one, and another was, "Some people don't like masturbation, others don't like teasing, the clips allow users to pick just the ones they like". So does the fast-forward and rewind button.
Bottom Line:
FTV has always been an up and down site for me. Many times as a member, the up and down status happened from day to day. I admit, one of my favorite niches in porn is public nudity/flashing and even better if the model slips a little masturbation in too.
I like the combination of danger/excitement/arousal you see from the models in the public nudity scenes. And one really big plus for FTV is the models, at least to me, are becoming more and more amateur. I'm sure it's no different than it used to be where someone like Eva Angelina appeared here early in her career then went on to be one of the most prolific porn actresses of all-time.
FTV to me is the best public nudity site available that is still updating. So if public, exhibitionism is your thing, you should try it out just for those scenes.
The site's navigation has improved thanks to a new design in the member's area. New might not be the right word, but it was new to me when I joined 3 months ago. I had been away from this site since roughly 2010. It could still be improved by better tagging. All scenes now have tags across the top of their description. These are nicely done bold and bright tags that make it easy to see if a scene has something in it you might like. Some examples:
Nu! = Public Nudity, O = Real Orgasm, Ex = Extreme Scene and so on. These are very useful except for one thing. Since adding this tagging system they've went back and tagged every scene on their entire site. I will give them credit for not just throwing every tag possible on every scene, but there's the occasional misused tag that can be frustrating.
The frustration is made worse by the videos being cut into parts. Instead of just downloading one big file then scanning through it for the part you're most interested in, you have to download 4-10 parts then open each one and look for the part you're interested in.
If that's not enough frustration, the videos here are such high quality that it makes you wonder if they realize stopping to load another video is breaking up the continuity of the scenes? An example: Cayton Cayley (Candice) has a scene where she's flashing in a car repair garage. There's men all around and she's getting more aroused by each one that look at her. Then ... the video stops. Load the next one, watch the FTV logo for 2-5 seconds, video starts and she's walking to a room in the back where men are going to watch her masturbate. That's not only senseless, but it's illogical. One of the few believable things I've heard behind the reasoning of breaking the scene up is "Videos are shot in different locations". While I'm sure video editing software could piece those together still, I can at least see how one moment the model is nude in public, the next she's in a bed getting ready to masturbate, could also make the videos less natural-feeling, but the one I used above was in the same building. As are many others.
My guess is it will never change. It's been this way for over 10 years. Outside of that fairly big problem, the site delivers. The change from some extreme scenes to hardly no extreme scenes didn't bother me.
The size of the site can be overwhelming. I don't have near as much time to view/download porn as I used to so I've ended up staying at FTV for 3 straight months trying to rebuild my collection of their content. Updates are once a week and include videos and photos of one model. It's also still a great site for collectors since a lot of well-known porn stars including hardcore, extreme ones, were here on FTV early in their careers, showing some innocence and playfulness, you don't see from them in their newer work.
The interviews are often funny and show the model's personality away from being a model. I would even wonder how many models have helped/hurt themselves with these interviews?
I know there's been reviews and comments about the download speed being poor, but I haven't experienced any problems over the 3 months. My download speed on here is roughly 90% or higher of what it should be. Just tested it again before writing this review.
Overall, this is how I see this site: There's high-quality photos and videos. Decent download options on the videos and zips for the photos. The improved navigation (since 2010) makes the site much easier to use. Even the types of models have improved over the last year or so (subjective). But there's always that one but revolving around the split videos. I can say I took off 6-8 points for the split videos. It creates too much of a frustration situation. I can either download the clips I know I'll like and skip the others, which will make me wonder what I missed or I can just download them all, which is what I end up doing.
Even with the frustration, it's the best at public nudity and at finding very attractive amateur models.
I too was only seeing 9 sites, but stumbled across another area that shows 13 instead. As crazy as this will sound it's how I just now found it again.
Sign in. The page should be recent updates and there should be an ad at the top for DDF Cams. Here comes the crazy part. Click on "updates" up at the top beside the home icon. It knocks the ad off. There's a box that says "Choose a Website" near the top. The box has light-colored text in it that says, "Type Website Name". When you click on it to put your cursor in the box a drop-down menu pops up and has 13 sites listed in it including the older archive sites.
Used to be a joke with Khan. Back years ago, the limit on reviews was 1,500 characters, I hit it on every review. Then it was raised to 2,500 characters, I hit it on every review. Then it was raised to 5,000 characters ... and I hit it on every review. The joke was if it was raised any higher I would end up spending my life here writing reviews trying to hit the character limit.
I'm the same way though. I write a review as if I was talking to someone so the rambling gets in there, I've even repeated myself in some reviews.
I just tried it and it's a full trial. Looks like a good deal. It's not a very easy site to use and you have to sign in on each site in the network. Also right-click save as to download. I left clicked the first one I saw and it started streaming it. Right-click does download though every scene is named the same "high".
I've looked at this network before also and wondered about the trial. I just happened to notice this in the "get access" page ...
"$1 trial is for 2 days of unlimited access, and then $29.90 per month until canceled."
I'll give it a try over the next day or so after work. I hadn't seen that small print before saying it's unlimited. Watch out for the cross-sale if you try it. The billing is CCBill so it will be easy to cancel out.
