You deserve an award from Wittyguy's end of the year PU awards. I think you're the first person ever to say I scored a site lower than they would have lol. On that, I've never been able to use the scoring system properly. My brain doesn't understand the difference in an 74 or 78 or 84 and 88. My average score is around 85, so by putting it at 84, I was saying it's a little below average at this point. Oh and on the 85 average, I've only reviewed a few sites below a 70, so I generally look at my grading scale as 70-100, instead of 50-100. I think I spent way too many years in college classes that graded on a curve.
On canceling, back in 2010 or so, hardly no sites ever had a cancellation link on their site. It's why Epoch and CCBill are so popular. They both have their own websites where you can enter your subscription number (comes in welcome email) and email address. CCBill or Epoch will then look up your account and let you cancel it from their website. There's several newer payment processors that don't offer this option. The one Brazzers uses, Pro Biller, or something like that, wants you to either live chat, email or call them to cancel.
If you end up liking this network, you could check out Cum Louder, it used to be Spanish-only and is shot in a very similar style as this one. Much like this one, Cum Louder, has a few sites that are knockoffs of Brazzers/Bang Bros themes, but usually with amateur girls.
Glad to have helped. I liked this network good enough to upgrade for $15 to the unlimited downloads.

Pros:
- A good-looking network that can't seem to make up its mind about what language they speak. This review is for the premium network included with Chicas Locas not just Chicas Locas. They go by the name of porndoe, but couldn't find a hub page to review the network on.
- Good introduction TBP/PU price of 9.95, but should be noted I was charged in Euros not dollars, which was $11 and some change.
- Several interesting and underproduced genres are included in the network.
- Models are mostly younger, 18-25, but they have a few much older models as well. Reminds me a lot of Reality King's style of models. Lots of Latina models that look to be amateur, at least I don't recognize them.
- Blazing fast download speeds at 8MB/s on my connection. I can sometimes get up over 9MB/s, but 8 is very high for me on a porn site.
- I'll go into the numbers in the BL, there's quite a bit of content available for the 9.95 price.
- Navigation is good in some places and just terrible in others.
Cons:
- Here's the big one. If you join for 9.95 you're limited on how many videos you can download per day. TBP lists 3 per day, but the site now says 5. If you join for 24.95, you receive unlimited downloads and 8 more bonus sites.
- Well, some site names are Spanish, I think others are German at least I think it's German, French and English too. They have a button to switch the language to English, but that doesn't change the site names to English, so you have to click on a site and check it out to figure out what genre is.
- Centrobill came up as my payment processor. Those people get my card rejected and cause my bank to send me a text about suspicious activity. Luckily, after rejecting my payment, Epoch came up as the secondary payment processor and approved the same card.
Bottom Line:
This is one of those blind joins I usually hate. I saw it in the new site listing on TBP and decided to give it a try since if nothing else it has amateur Latina girls on it.
I'm admittedly torn on this review. This network has tons of potential, but they use an upgrade system. Get in for 9.95, but if you want to download more than 5 videos a day or want to see all their sites, you'll have to pay another 15.00. It's bad business. Hit a middle ground on the prices, make it unlimited, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
What's great about this network is the quality. The videos have up to 1080p option and some of them have as high as 14,000 bitrates. I prefer the 720p which has 8,000 bitrates, but that's because I don't want to download a 4 GB file. One of the 720p files I downloaded earlier was over 2 GB, nearly 50 minutes long. I like the camerawork they use. It's very similar to Bang Bros and Reality Kings. The girls aren't all perfect. You get a blend of slightly chubby, very slim, tall, short, pretty, not so pretty, young, old and so on. This is my preferred style of models on a site.
The navigation overall isn't bad. I know zero models on this network so I went to the model list and just scanned through until I found ones I liked. It has a few good features like the ability to click on a model's name then you can see all of her content on the network. It has a "network" tab that opens up a page with all their sites on it. That's good, but what the hell is a Hausfrau Fricken? Looks like frathouse fucking? It wouldn't hurt to put an English translation under the site names that are not in English. What about a XXX Omas? Does it mean many orgasms? The navigation on the content pages could also be better. As example, La Novice, which I guess is French Amateurs, there's a section with 12 videos, 6 per line with an arrow to open up 6 more scenes on each line. Then down below the scenes it says, "Channel Pornstars". Huh? Beside of that it says "Channel Albums". What? And beside of that it says, "Related Channels". Dude? In all seriousness, I understand what those mean, but why are they floating around in the content area? Isn't there a tab at the top for all sites and pornstars?
On a side note, there was no cross-sales on the join page and there's no advertising in the member's area. It's like they tried to give you too many ways to find the content. Some advice from an old porn reviewer, keep it simple. It gives me and others less to complain about.
The videos are good. I've watched quite a few and liked them. You can download the photo sets in zip files, but they're nothing too great. They're only 1080 on the long end. Maybe the download speed is thanks to them being a newer site with fewer members. I consistently go over 8MB/s on downloads.
Their overall numbers of scenes is pretty good, but I doubt I'll download more than 40-50 scenes total. Picture set downloads do not count against your daily limit of 5.
Some numbers as of 8/29/2016:
Over 500 models, but it's impossible for me to count them all since they include male models in their model list. Still, I would feel safe saying there's 400+ women models, of note, they have a whole site dedicated to older models (both men and women) so there could be a whole section of models you won't like if you don't like older or vice versa. My age cutoff limit stops at MILFs. I love grandmothers in real life, but they've no business in my fantasies or sexual thoughts.
23 sites, not including the VIP sites. Some of these sites are very small (30-35 videos).
974 listed scenes across the network. From the best I can tell that number does not include the VIP sites or photo sets, but this is where the annoying navigation comes into play again. Where's a filter button?
Should have mentioned earlier they have a site that works nearly identical to Bang Bus called Bums Bus. What I do like however is innocent lesbian sex on their site A Girl Knows, which doesn't even seem like it belongs on the network. The Chicas Locas site has what I would consider amateur Latina girls, which is a dying genre and one of my favorites.
So, overall, I think the network is good, above-average even, but I think the next year will play a huge role in how it develops. If they continue to shoot the same kind of porn as now and work on their site (navigation, cleaner interface) they will eventually catch up to the Reality Kings, Team Skeet, type networks. After saying Team Skeet, I would compare this network to it as well, especially in Team Skeet's earlier days. I don't regret joining for the 9.95 option, it's opened up my eyes to a new site I had never heard of. Good blend of genres as well. They even have a tranny site and on top of that, they aren't using the same dozen guys you're used to seeing on the American networks. It's hard not to recommend it since I believe it's worth the price and they look like a good alternative to the American networks.

Pros:
- My favorite site on the Chickpass network. Review will cover this site and network.
- Very good quality on technical side of things.
- No limits that I know of
- Comes with more than 12 sites.
- Fast downloads (90% my max speed)
- Good update schedule.
Cons:
- I think the look of the site may be its biggest con. It looks like it did 20 years ago. It’s really not a big deal to me but I can see some people wanting a site to look better/newer.
- Navigation can be difficult if you’re used to more modern sites.
Bottom Line:
Chickpass is a highly underrated network. Chickpass Amateurs is my favorite site on the network. Amateurs has over 6,000 videos and 3,000 photosets. Plus there are 12+ other sites, the amount depends on how you feel about genres counting as other sites. That is how the Chickpass Network is set-up. The different sites are just ways to separate the different genres. As a whole the Chickpass Network has around 10,000 videos. It shows that Amateurs stands out with nearly 60% of the network’s content.
These do seem to be real amateur models but you will see a few here and there that you may know of. One of my first interests in Chickpass is their active webmaster Logan being open to suggestions and recommendations (for models and niches). It is a network that works hard to make their fans happy.
Their videos are crisp and clear even in 720p or 1080p but they also offer 4K. I’m sure I’ve seen the complaint before that Logan is the only man in the scenes but that’s how amateur sites and networks used to be. The content, to the best of my knowledge, is 100% exclusive. You can also usually find a good promo for a month membership.
The navigation could be better but I can tell you it improves the more you use the network. If I thought a change/update in website would help, I would recommend it but my feeling is Chickpass has survived thanks to their quality content and pretty amateur models. I’m sure if they spent the money to improve the site, it would cut into another part of their budget.
This site and its network should be high on anyone’s list who likes amateurs or to see longtime favorite models before they were famous.
The other sites in the network include similar sites like T&A Amateurs and 1111 Customs. They do have some sites that follow a direct theme and plot like Fuck the Geek and Fucking Parties. It’s hard to fault the way the site is setup. Besides having lots of amateur hardcore and sometimes solo scenes, the themed “sites” offer something different to keep you from getting bored or feeling the content is redundant.
They do use CCBill as their biller and that’s always a plus. There are new updates across the network and one of the best, most functional model lists I’ve seen on an amateur site. One of my all-time favorites.

Pros:
- A relatively old amateur network that has a ton of content and very collectible scenes as well.
- Comes with 22 themed amateur sites.
- Two updates per day, check the Bottom Line on this pro.
- Quite a few major stars before they were major stars.
- Excellent TBP/PU price of $9.95 (5/9/19)
- Probably the broadest range of women you will ever see on a network, heavy, slim, white, black, brown, ugly, pretty, tattoos, implants, kind of like walking down a street in the United States!
- There is a fine line between simple navigation and layout and outdated. It definitely looks outdated but the site works very well and is easy to use.
- Very good download speeds (80% of max)
- Videos are very good technical quality, up to 1080p, some explanation needed in BL. Also has photos on most scenes and can be downloaded.
- Tagging system is pretty good but it might be too vague. It still is helpful.
- Covers most interests in hetero porn.
- 100% exclusive
Cons:
- It looks outdated, like 2004 outdated but it really isn't bad. It does feel cluttered. That is nitpicking.
- It won't be for everyone. The various body types, the looks of the women, it's very amateur and varied.
- With the wrong person, the navigation could be very annoying.
Bottom Line:
This network features some sites I was a member of many years ago. It can be misleading. The network is listed as first being listed in 2013. The little hub page might have started in 2013 but one site I know I have been a member of before, T&A Amateurs is in this network and it was first listed in 2005. The sites look that old too.
I mentioned in the pros, the explanation about the video quality. They are remastering older videos but are not counting them as new updates. This might not be a big deal to some but they do lack video options. Most of the ones I have looked at have a 480p option and a 1080p option. I would like to see a 720p option in there. A few of the newest videos even have 4K.
This type of site can be difficult to review. One of the newest updates is of Tori Black. She's certainly not an amateur but the content does not look like it was filmed recently either. The last time I saw anything about Tori Black she was talking about her boobs growing. In this video, she has hardly no boobs. They could have filmed this 10 years ago and just now released it. I also noticed Aaliyah Love listed as a "mature". There's a little fudging on "amateur" status but overall, the models are probably 90% amateur.
This is the similar style of shooting the ATK sites uses. Sometimes I prefer this especially with established models. It's very bare bones, little makeup and it has a real feeling to it more than the studio porn sites give.
The amount of content is very high. There are over 6,000 videos and over 4,500 photo sets. As I go through the content for the review, I am still seeing some "pros". I just noticed Jelena Jensen and Kagney Linn Karter. The content still comes off as amateur.
The selling point of this site (besides the price) is the amount of content combined with the vast majority of it being of models you've never seen or heard of while also having models you know but you will see them differently here. It's like a pro model just moved in next door to you and she's just a normal, down to earth woman.
If you wanted to complain about anything it would be the separation onto category based "sites". One is "Fuck the Geek". There is really nothing to show these particular models as "geeks". They look just like the models on T&A Amateurs. Maybe that is a sign of an amateur site. There isn't much production value in these scenes. They do have one site called "Chickpass Pornstars", so that is most likely where the random known models are coming from.
The navigation plays a big part in all this. You do have a hub which shows all recent updates no matter what site the update is from. The top of the page has "network sites" so you can go directly to the site you're most interested in. There is a "video" tab and a "photos" tab. It's hard to find that much fault in a system that is this simple.
They also have separate sites for race like T&A Asians, T&A Latinas and so on. They have a few they have created like XXX NJ for what they have tagged as "Jersey Girls".
I have got to the point I usually don't look at "bonus" content since it is usually streaming only and/or very low quality but they have 6 bonus sites that are very similar to their regular sites with similar content. Not for sure why these are called bonus sites but they are worth looking into too.
There is no way I would have thought this network would score that high but they have a very high amount of exclusive content and it is very high technical quality. The 480p videos even look good with 3000+ bitrate. It's one of those sites that feels like they decided to stop pouring money into making it look good and instead focused on getting good content.
Though I did mention it in cons, I will add here the models should be the deciding factor for most. They have over 1,600 models. You will find plenty of them that only have 1-3 scenes. I have seen at least one with 250+ scenes. The good part of this is also the bad part, the ones I have liked the most only have 1-3 scenes and are ones I have never heard of.
There is male/female sex, blowjobs, lesbian, strap on, threesomes and even messy for those that are into the messy porn scenes.
It's hard to take much off this site.
Amount of content, quality of content, amount of models, two updates per day, covers most niches, plenty of amateur models, some pro models, navigation is simple and straightforward, all with the one flaw being the outdated site design. I'm looking over that for the positives.
Segpay is the biller, not the best biller to deal with but I didn't have any problems with them. There was a tricky pre-checked cross-sale that I almost fell for. It told what I was joining "Chickpass network for $9.95" and had to click it. Just below it was a pre-checked box for GFLeaks.
Overall though, I am pleased with it. I would recommend it at the TBP/PU price to anyone interested in amateur porn.
Current Member for over 3 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Very large, (mostly) amateur network.
- 21 sites with only a couple having pro models.
- Very genuine, amateur feel to the models, it can range from uncomfortable to nervous to excited reactions from the models.
- No real specific look to the models, there are girl next door types, tattooed and pierced models, small, slender, heavier, chunky, tall, which I think helps the genuine amateur feel.
- Newer videos have 4K option, 1080p and 480p.
- Excellent photo sets that can be downloaded.
- Very good TBP/PU discount price.
- Offers one of the broadest ranges of models based on ethnicity/race.
- Segpay is the biller
Cons:
- Outdated site design but it works very well.
- The part I think you have to accept with any amateur site, there's going to be some models you're not attracted to.
- Pre-checked cross sale on sign-up
Bottom Line:
Chickpass has grown over many years into one of the premier amateur sites. The site design could turn some off but like the old saying don't judge a book by its cover.
You get different sites with this network that almost work more like genres or niches. One is College Amateurs, one is T&A Asians, another is T&A Latinas and I think you get my drift. Or you can just go to the Chickpass Adult Network which works as a hub page. The size of the network is impressive. There are over 2,000 models. Over 7,000 videos and around 3,500 photo sets.
That's a lot of mostly amateur content. It's one of the good uses of the different sites. One is Chickpass Pornstars, so if you don't like pornstars, you can just avoid going to it.
The scenes vary from solo masturbation/tease to hardcore boy/girl with some lesbian content including a site dedicated to lesbian content. There are some threesomes as well.
One of my favorite parts is it seems like they just let the models control their outfits, so you'll have some cosplay, some women in tights/leggings, because it's amateur you're going to see tattoos, some bushes, some shaven. It's one of those sites where there is something for everyone.
I do think it could be overwhelming for some since this is a lot of content of models a lot of us haven't seen before.
The navigation is a major plus. First, you have the different "sites" which also works for specifying what you're looking for (Asians, Lesbians, Latinas, etc...), second it has a well-organized model list and third, it has a hub page to bring it all together. There are also tags including resolution, so if you just want 4K scenes, you can click the tag for it. The tags are accurate as far as I can tell.
Maybe the outdated style of the site wouldn't lead you to believe it has nice, newer style of navigation features but it does and they work well.
Using the tags it says they have around 400 scenes in 4K and over 5,000 scenes with at least 1080p, again very impressive numbers for an amateur site.
Of course, a big selling point for me is the various races of the models. That might be my favorite part of porn sites these days. If I could throw a minor complaint in it would be that I would like to see bigger pictures. They don't have to be 6000 long end but the ones I'm downloading are only 1600 long end. Maybe at least up in the 2500 - 3000 long end range?
You'll be surprised with how many major stars you find here before they were even porn stars. That adds a collectible side to the site for us collectors that like to have photos/videos from various points in a model's career.
They don't do much wrong and cover a lot of niches/fetishes.

Pros:
- Gives you access to more content than expected
- $9.95 per month thru TBP!
- Videos are pretty nice, 640 on high end, and are full scenes
- Good download speeds, about 20% higher than my average speed
- Nice collection of "chubby" girls, we are talking women maybe 20 pounds overweight
- I've never seen any of the content, so I'm guessing it is exclusive
Cons:
- The worst thing about sites that are ran by this company, they give you way more than you pay for, that is a bad thing, I couldn't find the actual content I was looking for, for nearly a week.
- Navigation is horrible, maybe the worst I have seen. You click on a picture, and can only go back to the first page of the set and start over.
- The picture are not hi-resolution, no zips and many are just pictures from the actual movies
- They must have decided to add the much more chubby women too, with obese sections, which goes back to stopping me from finding the content I paid for.
- Login is frustrating, it stores your login name and password, but you have to enter your email address and a security code, so why store the other information?
Bottom Line:
TBP should look into the sites this company runs. This is the second one that I have been on that is nothing like the review on TBP says. It actually is a lot more than the review says, but I was mainly looking for the 49 photo sets and 49 videos, ended up with 1,000+ videos and 1,000+ photo sets from each of those movies.
The quality on the videos is not bad at all, 640 on high end, and the downloads are good and quick. I say that because nothing else on this site does what it says. You click on a picture, click "back to thumbs" and it takes you back to the first page, not the one you were viewing.
Also, if you do join this site for the cute chubbies, they are here, somewhere between the obese matures and the gigantic grannies. I really don't need to see a 75 year old woman that weighs 300 pounds naked.
The girls that the site is named after fit the name. Most of these girls are comparable to Kayla Marie, just a little heavy here, a little there, and here and there are usually the spots where thicker is appreciated. They also come across as very cute, but you can't download the pictures in zips, and if you do it one at a time, be prepared to go back to page 1 after each picture.
The login is frustrating. It is the whole, security code crap nonsense that doesn't always show up in Firefox. Overall, I ended up liking the site for the cheap price and the cute chubbies, but I won't be back again. Recommended only if you like the cute chubbies, for one month!
Hey Panther, I kept my membership up until last month. I liked the content well enough. I really had never been a fan of Clara until I joined this site. She has a great personality. Before that I had only watched a few videos of her with Eve from I think Club Sandy. I just had too many site memberships, 8 in August, down to 2 right now. Some of it is a little rougher than I usually watch, but still a good site overall.
I happened to be checking out Videobox's updates and noticed one DVD called My Evil Sluts. I joined Clara's site months ago mainly to get a scene of Eve Angel, Adrianna Russo and Clara G in a 3 way strap on fest. Well, it is now on this DVD on Videobox. It looks like they have at least 2 of these DVDs, and all scenes have Clara in them, except for 3 over both DVDs.
I had read your review on the Eva Angelina solo site, and that alone made me wary of these sites. Believe it or not, Eva was supposed to have a site called Club Eva Angelina, which is the same name as Angel Dark's, Club Angel Dark, so I definitly won't be jumping in for a full membership, but might still give the trial a try in a few weeks. $8 isn't too bad, and would at least probably answer my questions about these sites.
After just posting a comment about Sativa Rose solo site, I see this Angel Dark one, ran by the same company as Sativa Rose's. They do have what looks to be a good trial of $7.99, full access.
Anybody tried Angel Dark's? I noticed in the preview that a few of the video clips are from DVDs that I have downloaded from various DVD sites like the Ass Cleavage series. I don't understand why so many of these stars are getting solo sites, but reviews are almost impossible to find of any of them. Maybe in a few weeks I will try a few of these out on a trial. I'm not quite as much into Angel as Sativa, mainly because Angel does too much anal, I'd say 80% of the clips I have of her are more anal than anything else. If these are smaller sites, the company that has all of them should package them as a network!
Thank you Pat, I will have some more low score reviews. I spent the last month or two taking some risks on sites that I had always been curious about and most turned out to be not near as good as I hoped. As I was saying in my other reply on this review, a lot of my lack of poor scoring sites has been me just playing it safe by joining sites I had been a member of before, but the same models are starting to bore me so I've had to expand my view of sites and take some risks.
And I agree about Regan. I don't mind tattoos, but I'm not drawn to them either. She just seems to have that little something extra that most models don't have these days. The other Regan Reese site that I left a comment on is really good for pictures as long as you have an image downloader since it doesn't have any zips. And as bad as I hate to say it, the best source for her videos is Videobox with a channel subscription to Vivid and Evil Angel, that combination has around 23 videos of her.
Thank you, there are all kinds of pitfalls to watch out for in the porn world. Besides the ones you named off, there's the "lets change this model's name and sell her as a new model" this one is so bad that one of the more respected sites, Nubiles, actually still has one model listed under two names, meaning if a member didn't know her other name, they would miss half of her content they have. In this particular case, the model, now very commonly known as Cindy Hope, was originally known as Klaudia. She had a pretty big transformation in her look, going from an average, girl next door, cute, flat-chested model to a glamorous, very pro looking model with implants. And even though Nubiles is a good site with a very good webmaster, they still haven't put her content under one name despite me posting a comment about it here. One of the other reasons I haven't had a lot of bad sites, I have learned which sites deliver what I'm looking for and join those multiple times per year. Meaning I'm kind of playing it safe, but when I saw this Regan Reese, I was drawn in by her uniqueness and willing to take a risk.
I do think part of the problem is our language difference, but I do understand the points you are making and appreciate you doing your best to explain them in a language that isn't your native language.
What I'm going to do, to be fair to you and to the members here, potential members of your sites is review each of your sites with updated information. I'm afraid if the information doesn't get updated you're going to have more upset customers and hopefully, I've at least been friendly about it. I know others won't be if they are expecting more.
I also understand about the price. My comment about worth $5 was based solely on the amount of Regan content, not the whole network. I'm going to leave the recycle comment because some of it is recycled, not exclusive, but I am going to remove the part about you running a dishonest company. Maybe that was unfair of me to say without an explanation. I will review your other sites over the next week, some of the scores may not be that high, but I will also be fair in those.
That is a shame about Tonya. I found her and Regan both to be excellent performers. Thanks for working around the language barrier and just to add, I think the Capri site is one of the best looking sites I've seen. I did think it looked like a new site with the clean design menus in the sidebar.
I'm going to take into consideration that English is not your native language.
You say that "with your membership get access to lots of fresh content weekly". In all fairness, I am just reviewing Regan's site. The score would be higher if I reviewed the whole network as one site, however, all of your sites are not updating weekly either. Tanya's site last update was 4/25/11, that was 4 months ago. Then Regan's isn't updating, so 2 of 5 are not updating. I'm not trying to be too rough there, but I do want you to understand that as a whole network, I would be nicer with my score.
On Regan, I'm not for sure why her leaving the business two years is relevant. I'm not complaining about the lack of updates. I had already read from The Best Porn that the site had not updated since 2009. So that's a non-issue.
Where I do take an issue is with you saying I should appreciate the content that is still there on Regan's website. I complimented the content, I complimented the site's navigation and setup, ease of use. So I did appreciate the content, but your wording of it says, "we had to delete some of the content" you all went from having 83 photo sets to 22. That means you all deleted 73% of the photo sets. That's not some, that's most. The only way I know to show you this is to say would you be happy if your subscribers only paid 27% of the price of your site? You wouldn't appreciate that or else you would lower your price 73%.
I'm not fully believing the non-recycling comment and I will explain why. On Freeones, I can pull up the old version of "Cake Friends". The only difference in the watermark is it moved from the left top corner to the bottom right corner and is a different logo, removing Capalli from Capri's name and adding XXX. Where you hurt yourself here is that you're telling me that Capri also has sets being re-released with a different watermark.
If I go look into Capri's updates I see that all of her updates that had the old watermark on them were re-released on 8/7/11. In photos, Capri has a total of 17 photosets and 11 of those 17 were re-released on 8/7/11. In videos, the newest released video is 8/7/11. You just told me that these 8/7/11 releases were due to a change in the watermark. If I look back before these re-releases, the newest video on Capri's site was 7/15/10. The newest picture set before the re-releases was 7/14/10 and her newest webcam archive video was 11/29/09. So, by this theory, Capri's site is not updating either unless it's recycled content.
That one new Capri photoset has 33 photos in it, all the previous ones had well over 100, some over 200. So that update looks questionable too. If I had the time, I could go through all of the sites and check this, but I now believe 3 of 5 sites are not updating with new content.
Edit: In all fairness, this webmaster seems genuinely honest. Some of the content is recycled, I'm sure there is a fine line between what is dishonest and what is just a difference in subjective definitions. I'm removing the dishonest part with the thought that maybe future members will read the review and see that it doesn't have as much content as expected.

Pros:
- Regan Reese, one of the very few heavily tattooed models I really like. She's the big pro with this site for me.
- Comes with access to four other sites, Jessica Jaymes, XXX Capri, First Class POV and Tanya James.
- There are some nice quality photo sets of Regan, one goes up to 4000 long end on the pictures and all photo sets have zips.
- Video quality is okay at best, but I haven't seen much solo Regan so that's a pro since they have some solo videos.
- The other four bonus sites are pretty good sites. Especially if you like Jessica Jaymes as her site is still updating and has quite a bit of content.
- Webcam archive of Regan's webcam shows
- Surprised me, but there's been a new update listed as 8/7/11, maybe the cons will explain this since in the TBP stats, it hadn't been updating since 2009.
Cons:
- Going to need a lot of these, will fill the details in in the bottom line.
- Price, $29.95, bonus sites are good, but I joined for Regan's site and have to say $29.95 is about $24.95 too much.
- Photo content numbers have dropped drastically from the TBP stats update and even from Monty222's review in 2009.
- Video quality is not that bad if you don't mind downloading the flash video versions. The resolution is plenty good enough, it's an odd one on most 842 long end. Some are not that good and some drop down in the 468 long end area.
- Possibly removed and recycling content, TBP facts noted that no updates had came since 2009, with decreasing content count and new updates showing up in 2011, it's at least a reason to question if it's being recycled.
- No consistency at all, photo resolutions vary nearly from set to set, same with videos.
- Audio in webcam archive sets comes and goes, which is a big part of webcam sets, especially with a dirty talker like Regan.
Bottom Line:
(See my comment for updated information)
Regan Reese is the type of model I normally wouldn't be that interested in. While I've said many times that I don't mind tattoos or implants, she has a ton of tattoos and implants. Something about her though that I really liked on a few sets I got of her from Naughty America, maybe it's her curves, her lips. I just found her very attractive.
So I find this site of her. Read Monty222's expired review and combined it with the later updated TBP stats and was more than happy to pay the $30 to get, listed by TBP on 1-5-11 as 75 videos, 83 photo galleries. That's a good amount of content for one model plus the site comes with 4 bonus sites including at least one, Jessica Jaymes that is still updating and has nearly double the content Regan's was listed as having.
In Monty222's review he listed 29 videos and 51 photo sets, and the site was still updating at that time. I trust Monty222 and the TBP stats. The reason I am so trusting there is because this is what the site now has.
41 videos, 22 photo sets. Ahem. How does a site go from 51 photo sets in Monty222's review in 2009 to 83 photo sets in the January 2011 stats update from TBP to 22 in August 2011? I'm not going to accuse them of recycling content, but I think they're recycling.
The reason I think this is the TBP stats update in January 2011 says the site hadn't been updated since 12-2009. Lo and behold, there's a new picture set in August 2011. I'm sorry, but content amount dropping that much, no updates in a year, then new updates start showing up is usually a sign of a site that's removing old content then recycling it as new content. I've been here before with a few other sites.
How is the content that's there? It's good. I would have been very pleased with the content if the number hadn't dropped so much. I'm not real picky about video quality unless it's just impossible to watch. My focus has always been the quality of the model(s). You can give me 10 1920x1080 videos of models I'm not interested in and I'll trade them for 10 640x480 videos of models I am interested in.
The case here though is the content is just not there. Just put the content you removed back up and call it an archive bonus site instead of trying to fool new members into thinking they are getting new updates. I would imagine most people that join this network of solo models join for Jessica Jaymes since it's still updating and even has new webcam episodes. So this site of Regan's is probably just a nice bonus to it.
Where this gets worse. This site is really nice. The filenames are named by the title of the set on the site, how many times have I asked for that? It has probably the best navigation I've seen on a solo model site. It allows one click, by situation, finding of content. Makes it very easy for me to post exactly what is up.
Boy/Girl photosets: 1
Girl/Girl photosets: 6
Group photosets: 4
Solo photosets: 11
Total photosets: 22
Boy/Girl videos: 3
Girl/Girl videos: 4
Group videos: 8
Solo videos: 9
Webcam archive videos: 16
Total videos: 41
To put this in perspective, the total combined content of videos and pictures is 63. In January 2011, it was 158. Maybe someone is confused at the site and thought update meant taking sets down?
I normally will not post a review of a site that I would score below 70 since if it's below 70, it's not likely I'm going to be on it long enough to have a fair view of it. I don't need the time here. Took me 2 hours to download the whole site. The site folder is 7.6 GB. Content itself is very good to great even. If there was 158 total sets, I probably would have went into the mid-80s with my score. I don't care about if a site like this is updating or not. Give me the 158 sets without updates over 63 sets with recycled updates any day of the week.
On a positive note, they do offer three different video formats, wmv, mp4 and flv. In most cases, the FLV files are the highest quality, but I have noticed on the webcam videos the sound will suddenly just stop. I can see her lips moving, but hear nothing. These webcam videos, poor quality and all, are still very good.
Still, take this as a warning to others considering this site. In my 200+ reviews I've only scored one site lower than this one. The webmaster needs to put those other sets back up. If there's a legal reason then I could understand it, but we know it's not an age issue. Seeing that the content on all these sites is "exclusive" I can't see how it could be a copyright issue with possibly another site. It instead looks like the typical remove old, put it back as new, recycle move. If I'm wrong and those sets suddenly re-appear, I'll reconsider my score. Unless you're a huge Regan fan or fan of great navigation, I wouldn't recommend this site.

Pros:
- I once rated Club Sandy a 99. I feel like me giving it an 82 is a generous nod to nostalgia.
- The site is still updating, but only twice a month. It used to update daily.
- The included network access still makes this a good join for the TBP price. BL will go into this since I'm in a year long subscription.
- If you are a collector of certain models there are plenty here with large archives of content.
- Lots of remastering of old scenes. I consider it a pro since I've seen scenes as old as 2007 that are remastered into 1080p.
- Lots of compilation videos. Those could be a con for some, but they are pretty good for discovering models you might not have realized you like.
- Good download speeds, very consistent.
- Picture sets, downloadable as zips, still come with each scene, but they could make it a little easier to find them.
Cons:
- Two updates per month. I'll never understand the point of having a network that kills off your best-known sites.
- Navigation is best described as clunky. It's worst described as what the hell are they thinking?
- Content split between three networks. And they've removed their previous token system that at least allowed you to join the other networks to get that one or two rare scene you can't find on your hard drive.
- Where's the creativity 21 Sextury used to have?
Bottom Line:
I've been hanging onto year-long subscriptions to 21 Sextury and DDF Network for 9-10 months. These two networks have been longtime staples in my porn rotation. The complete dropoff of Club Sandy is a disappointment for me, but not all is lost. I'll try to stick to the good parts then add the bad parts to explain the disappointment.
If you've never been a member here and don't know much about Euro models, then this is a great place to start. The star of Club Sandy, Sandy, has always been and still is one of the prettiest, most erotic European women I've ever seen in porn. The site and network is loaded with her content. Including compilations, Sandy is featured in over 500 scenes. Blue Angel, Eve Angel, Zafira, you name them, they too have 100+ scenes on here.
That's where a problem comes up. The big Euro models were mostly from the mid to late 2000s. Following their departures, they've yet to develop many major stars. So, joining this site and network is more of an archival join. I would like to say the newer content (2013 forward) has some great content, but most of it just comes off as cookie-cutter hardcore porn. My point here is if you've been a member before and still have the content on a hard drive, I'm not for sure there's much reason to join.
The remasters aren't listed as remasters so you have to look for them. One I really liked was an early Blue Angel scene from 2007 that has been remastered into 1080p resolution with 6000+ bitrate, it looks very good. My one problem with the remastered videos is there's no in-between. You can either download the old version, which was 540p or jump all the way to 1080p. I almost always prefer the 720p videos, but the remasters don't have that option.
You really can't complain about the quality here, but you can complain about the newer videos being just like the one released earlier in the month and those are just like the two released last month, this goes on for several years. On top of that, you have the three network split of content. The way they've handled the splitting of their network should be used to show why you shouldn't start changing how things work.
Where I know I'm being too hard on them is the lack of Sandy content, I think she retired a few years ago. Maybe the length of my membership has made me feel like there's just not enough to keep me interested without the "old" models?
Back to the positive:
While they used to be known for removing some scenes, it now looks like they've added all of them back. Including the very rare Eve Angel hardcore b/g scene in a bathroom from early in her career. I've also noticed some older Sophie Moone scenes I hadn't seen in years. Biggest problem here is you have to know what you're looking for so that could be frustrating for new members who don't know about the older models.
I still believe it's worth joining since you do get access to the 21 Sextury network, but I really don't think it's (the network) is even coming close to the DDF network these days.
The good news is the newer content is all shot with the 1080p option. The bad news is a large percentage of the new content is anal/hardcore/boy-girl. As soon as I can re-review the network as a whole, I will and don't see it rating much over an 85 as a whole. Lots of good older content here, some in poorer quality, but still featuring some of the best models in the world.
To end, I think if you're new to the network it's definitely worth a join ... for a month. I wouldn't recommend the year subscription to anyone as I don't think the newer content is even close as good as the older content. Also recommended to collectors, especially if you don't have the remastered older videos. Just make sure the videos you're looking for didn't get sent to 21 Sextreme or else you'll need to join it too.

Pros:
- Re-review of the site I gave my highest score of 99 to. Many changes on the site made it worth re-reviewing it to reflect those changes.
- Few sites have as many beautiful models as this site that has been around since 2003.
- New network format does make navigation much better than in the past. You click a model's thumbnail, click "all scenes" and there are all the scenes they have of the model across the network.
- Club Sandy itself now updates every other day at a minimum, they slip an extra update in every week or so. The network access you initially start with updates 4 times a day.
- Last year or so of updates are available in HD quality, previous years varies depending on site.
- Pictures are zipped and their pictures have always stood out to me for their uses of colors. I can spot a 21st Sextury picture without the copyright on it.
- Downloads were fast for me, about 95% of my max download speed.
- Really good price that goes down the more months you stay.
Cons:
- I've run into several video files that give me a "forbidden" message. One to show as an example, Courtney (Asian model) on Zoliboy's site, some of the individual clips will download, but the full clip gives the forbidden message. I ran into a few others like that as well.
- Too much shifting of content from one site to another. They're not doing it on the new updates though, just to fluff the archives of each model on a specific site.
- Figuring out what sites you receive in the first month seems to be confusing for some. This doesn't apply in my case since I've been joining these sites, even as the old network style, and have gotten used to it.
- Older content is lesser quality, but I'm hesitant to take much off for this since members of all sites seem to be split on the practice of remastering old sets.
Bottom Line:
While I lowered the score a few points, I would still say this is one of the 5 best sites on the internet, especially if you're looking for value. The price goes like this with the TBP link $19.95 first month, $14.95 second month, $9.95 per month every month at 3 months and beyond. That's value, 4 updates across the network, 30 days, 120 updates for $9.95 if you stay at least 3 months. Also you get 10 new sites for sticking around more than a month.
Lets get the positives out of the way. You're just not going to find many sites/networks with the amount of content 21st Sextury has. Some of the numbers are just staggering to me. Some of the all-time favorite Euro models and their total sets, Sophie Moone 404 sets, Sandy 355 sets, Eve Angel 132 sets, Zafira 100 sets, Blue Angel 92, Cindy Hope 90, Peaches 70 and each of those sets has a video and picture set in them. You also are unlikely to find more content of Mia Stone on any site, as she has 25 sets here.
I probably do understand how some may not see the significance of those numbers since maybe, like me, they've been on these sites and already have most of those. However, for someone who has never joined, you're not going to find a site with this much content of Europe's top-tier models.
I really like the new members area design, it's cleaner, less cluttered and all content of each model can be found by clicking the model, without having to bounce from site to site to find the content. My only complaint here is that the model's content does show sets which may be on a site in their network that you have to wait 1-2 months before you get access to. That's just asking for a pissed off member.
The negatives to me include a user problem when it comes to figuring out which sites you get with the 1st month's access. I believe I've done it enough to explain in short form. Go to whichever site you want to join through, click "full network", a page opens, look in the right hand upper corner of the visitors section for a drop down menu and it will list all the sites you get instant access to.
Content bouncing from one site to another. Just a few months ago, I noticed Pix and Video once again had the Eve Angel/Maxxo bathroom hardcore set. It started out years ago on Pix and Video. Then it was shifted to Euro Horny Sluts then it was shifted back to Pix and Video, now it's not on Pix and Video.
The site that seems to have the most problems in this network is Zoliboy. I'm happy to see it going back to more of the glam models with a couple new updates recently of Simony Diamond, but several of the "forbidden" files came from Zoliboy and it is some of the oldest content on the site.
I have very little to truly complain about here. I've paid upwards of $30 a month just for Eve Angel solo site, while this site has as much or more content of her and roughly another 1,000 models. Hopefully they can work through the few glitches of turning many sites into one network. Still highly recommended.
I had been meaning to join Club Sandy again since it was my highest rated site. I figured I would either re-review it, since they've made a lot of changes or I would change the score depending on how the changes were going. So far, I like the member section. I've added a few new models to collect over the last few months and being able to see all of each model's available content in one area, no matter the site in the network, is very helpful. I would compare that to having 1,000+ solo sites since all of each model's content can be found by clicking on their thumbnail. I'll give it a week or two before re-reviewing or doing a comment/review to see how good it works, but so far, so good.
As a humorous side note, they now use Seg Pay as their biller. I've used them several times with good experiences each time, but does anyone else find the thank you message a bit funny? After approval, I received the message, "Thank you, you've taken the first steps to a happier and more successful life". That's like getting a fortune cookie with your porn!
I had rejoined it earlier this month instead of trying the 21st Sextury Network which gives you mostly the same sites. I didn't have any problems with this site or the other exclusive sites they have. Throughout my membership, I never saw any downtime, no broken downloads, was downloading at 97-98% my max speed and the navigation is probably less of an issue for me since I've been a member on this site for years.
My only guess on the negative comments/cons that I've seen lately come from the non-exclusive bonus sites, which in my opinion, 21st Sextury should just drop altogether. I would be happy to pay $19.95 a month just for Club Sandy and Pix and Video. The majority of those non-exclusive sites seem to be doing nothing more than getting in the way of their excellent exclusive sites.
Just a note, when I reviewed the site, they were not doing this whole new network interface they have now. From what Denner has said, that is when the problems resurfaced.
I don't know if Zoli still returns emails, but I used to joke with him back in 2005 or so about his "charm". He's a genuinely funny guy too. I never really found out if a comment in my first review of Zoli had any impact on it, but the comment was, "Some of the new models are just...well...ugly" And went on to say that maybe he should just take their clothes and cover their heads. A few weeks later, the main page on Zoli changed to him standing beside a naked model with a bag over her head!
I really can't say that I've looked at much of the newer content. I saw one where the girl was gagging and that was it for me. You can look at the archives and notice when it became a much more extreme site. Early content had non-extreme models like Eve, Sandra Shine, Aneta, then the models out of nowhere started being the C-list level models. I've always wondered if they made the right move by making it more extreme.
I thought the old sets were some of the most entertaining sets on the internet. He has Eve completely worked up in one of her sets. She even asks him, "You like seeing girls do it for themselves don't you?" complete with a sincere but seductive smile. And it shocked me when she then moved her hand and let him use a pen vibrator on her.
That medium by their new standards is still higher than a lot of sites and would be good enough for me, if the model wasn't a favorite. I have grabbed the Ultra High ones of Eve though since she is my favorite.
I had a similar problem/frustration with Give Me Pink. Their top quality videos were 2.0 GB to 2.2 GB and many of them weren't worth keeping considering how much hard drive space they took up.
I had to throw that Drooler con in! The good news is that both Peter and Damon, 21st Sextury staff, have said more improvements are coming. I don't know though if picture size is one of them, but they have really surprised me with this offer and especially with the tumbling recur price.
Continuing on Zoli, the older content to me is some of the best on the internet. Some of Europe's biggest stars are in the older content and you see a different side from them when they are with Zoli, more playful, more laughing and Zoli might be the least annoying guy in porn. How can you dislike a guy that is jamming out to Iron Maiden on his way to pick the model up? And yes, he sings along with the songs! He's the normal guy most of us see ourselves as and genuinely is pretty excited to see the models nude. Recommendation to watch his scene with Aneta Keys as Zoli all but begs little Aneta to let him touch her and tells her he dreams everynight of being with her. Also the Eve changing room scene is one of my favorite scenes of my favorite model Eve Angel. Zoli ducks in the changing room with her in a very active, busy mall. You can see the real smile and laughing from Eve in it. Great stuff.
Sweet Sophie Moone - Sophie is now retired, but she was one of the top 5 Euro models for most of the last decade, she started as a model that didn't look like she should be in porn, beautiful face and hair, great natural slim body and one of the more charming personalities in porn. Her behind the scenes with Aneta Keys hissing and meowing at each other is one of the cutest scenes you will ever see. All the way to her scene with Eve where she admits that she doesn't like honey on her body.
Those 4 all have stood on their own in the past.
The other sites, some of the sites are exclusive. Asshole Fever is, a great selection of Simony Diamond on this one. I had planned on joining it just for the Simony content. Now it is included as a bonus site. Lez Cuties looks to be exclusive. Dominated Girls is exclusive. Teach Me Fisting and Footsie Babes are exclusive, but I believe some of the content is from Club Sandy, not a big deal since you get both now.
The technical side saw a huge jump to 1920 high end videos and the last year to 16 months is in minimum 1280 high end, the previous content was lower but it seems to be 640 high end for at least the last 3-4 years. With daily full updates still coming on Club Sandy and Pix and Video there is a reason to stick around, especially with the lower recur price each month.
I had not problem paying $45 for two of these sites for years. The thought of getting the first four with 46 other sites for $9.95, after 4 months, makes me think a 99 score is the only way to go. Why not 100? They didn't set me and my wife up for a dinner date with Eve Angel! The best way to say it without joking is it is the closest a site/network can come to perfect for me.
A few estimated numbers, just between Club Sandy and Pix and Video.
Upwards of 8,000 video and picture sets, just on those two sites. And those are full videos, not just segments.
At least for me, this network is the top one and I will be sticking around for a very long time once the recur drops to $9.95. I can't recommend any site/network higher than this one.
