I just ran across this site and while I'm not usually a fan of solo girl sites, this one caught my eye. It appears to have a lot of history, which usually translates into a lot of content. The guest pages present us with a natural, athletic model that performs with other women and mostly with her husband, who provides her with frequent and seemly dramatic facials. All that makes me interested in joining the site.
That said, TBP's review is over 3 years old now - so I was hoping that some recent members could chime in with a few comments about the site.
Well back when I was younger, even then the model rockets and progressed far from the old light 'n run tactic with the addition of electric starters and a long-ass cord so you could be safe in your bunker... if you had one. Not to say that kept the launch pads from falling over and shooting the rocket at cars, houses and people. Still - as a hobby, there are quite a few die-hards that launch things high enough that they are bound by Federal Law to notify local airports (even if the airports can't tell them not to launch). These days I'm a bit more interested in that type - especially as you can outfit them with video cameras and such.
I love porn, but it is hardly my #1 hobby. Enjoying movies, music, food and driving are the biggies. Porn ranks in right after those, probably. After that, reading, walking, occasionally biking. Then I have about a thousand of little projects that I mess about with here and there. My biggest problem is that I never have enough time to follow all of my interests. I'd love to take up rocketry again... I still haven't built a remote control lawnmower. I want to learn how to rappel down mountains and such. I have plans for a car computer, but funding is shy on that. Probably money will go into a new movie projection system first. Time and money - always the biggest hurdles for my projects...
I've never really gotten into the spirit of the various sites or forums that offer direct interaction with the models. Nor have I gone out of my way to discuss anything with a model. I have, on the other hand, chatted with a number of content providers - photographers, videographers and web masters.
I don't really count chatting with a live webcam model as direct contact as it is a public forum and she is focused on selling something you usually. With the exception of a few of the membership web cams, but that was just normal wasting time chatting. The only reason I can think of for directly wanting to contact a model would be to hire her, and right now I have neither the capital nor the equipment to be photographing proper good porn.
Haha - only if McCain were 3 or 4 thousand years old. Actually, their estimate of the Earth's age (which would also be the Universe's age) might be a bit longer than that - I can't remember.
Oh! I'm an idiot - sorry, lol. In that case - yes! All the freaking time! The web is so incomprehensibly massive, that I often run across articles mentioning some obscure website - especially little project pages or articles on various studies and so on. Science magazines are great for finding nifty little sites for more content on one topic or another. Hmm... that reminds me, I have to renew some subscriptions...
Off-line as in, in the real world? Not really - as I don't have subscriptions to any industry magazines and any site big enough for main stream media to pick up on I've already run across via online resources. As for friends, I am their adviser for porn - so I rarely, if ever, learn about new sites from them. So there really should be a sixth option: "Not Applicable."
It is true - it has a relatively high proportion of cons for the score and if it were a solitary site I'd put it in the high 70's. The site is small; there are a few significant adjustments in the way the scenes are directed that I'd like to see and the content could be provided in a higher definition. However, this site is part of a very large, very easy to use, and feature friendly network.
The functionality of the network is really quite top notch and while I think the webmaster(s) can sometimes be a bit slack on their thoroughness of categorizing the content, the web designer(s) have done a helluva job. I think it is silly to ignore that a site is a member of network if it cannot be joined by its lonesome. The Brazzers Network is of quite high quality, has an enormous amount of content (1660 scenes to date) and while it has its faults you will, excluding if you are totally opposed to the porn star look and behavior, generally find plenty of content that you like.
As for Teens Like it Big specifically - I was impressed with most of the models they have hired for the site, with only one or two of them did I avoid downloading their scene. Do they overact? Yes. Is it distracting? Yes. Is that going to stop me from watching and enjoying it? No. I personally have never and nor do I believe I will ever run across a site that is perfect. Being part of an excellent network helps a lot - and it helps lower ranked sites better than higher ranked sites. Right now Teens Like it Big is being supported a bit by the strength of its network (just like Real Wife Stories), but with some tweaking and growth I think it will become one of the foundations of the network.
Speaking of Real Wife Stories, that site has less cons than this one (except being smaller), but I gave this site a slightly higher rating frankly because the models are more attractive in my book. Real Wife Stories sticks with standard silicone injected starlets for the most part while Teens gives you natural with the exception of one girl (so far). That fact alone boosted the score 5 points for me.
Also - you pointed out the youth of the site as a negative. I really think reviews need to have a certain amount of foresight. I try to review the site both as it is and will be - hopefully punishing new sites less. Brazzers obviously knows the issue of starting a new site with little to no content: in the first two days of its life they added 10 scenes. Not a bad start and they have been extremely regular with their updates at once a week or faster. If a site appears to not be updating, they will indeed be punished severely if they are small - but otherwise, I'm more lenient. Anyway - choosing a just numeric score is often the hardest thing for me as it is so debatable. I hope this novelette clarified my thinking to a degree, if not making it totally transparent.
I will do so if requested by the webmaster personally or if I have some specific point I want to tell them. Otherwise I let my reviews do the talking (assuming I remember to write one).
You'll note a similar comment on Latina Abuse, but I felt it necessary to make this info known about my other favorite site in the Adult Doorway network. I was slow about posting a review and thus lost the opportunity to collect the necessary site facts I need for my reviews. None-the-less, the video quality of the newest content deserves some serious accolades.
Currently their preview pages show off small, short preview videos that are rife with dithering artifacts. This stands diametrically opposed to their 1920 x 1080 high definition WMV videos available for their latest scenes. Not only is this video at that resolution, it is also the crispest HD porn I've ever seen - I was shocked to find video quality of this level on a site that features this kind of content. It seems like it should go against their dogma. But it is here and it is worth the price of admission, even if you don't download any of their standard definition, older videos - the image quality really is that good.
The content itself is extreme to the point of shock and disgust for most people. I would not recommend this network to anyone that isn't firmly seated in their belief of their own love of extreme sexual domination of women. Many people would classify this as rape despite it being consensual. Check out German Goo Girls first if you aren't sure if you like this sort of content. It is much nicer, the girls look like they actually enjoy the sex and generally don't puke.
I gained access to this site via its membership to the Adult Doorway Network, of which Ghetto Gaggers is also a member and was impressed by their latest high definition video. I was too slow to review the site within my membership time, so I can't acquire all the site facts I need for a good review.
However, their latest content is available in 1920x1024 WMV HD - and the quality is jaw dropping. Crisp doesn't really describe it well enough - this video shows you more than you perhaps want to see. The blurriness seen in other HD sites is no where to be found here - you can easily count hairs on the models and it even remains rather crisp during high movement. Only a few videos are in this format, most are 496x368 MPEG-1 - but since all the network sites are moving to HD - the price of admission is worth it even if you only download the 15 or 20 available HD movies (some HD is 1440x1080 but still impressive).
The content itself? Degradation to the extreme - like German Goo Girls but you aren't sure the models actually enjoy it - and the models are usually amateurs to the point of homely. However, the few beauties they have amplifies the effect of the outrageous behavior that much more.
If you like extreme sexual domination of women, basically compliance to acts just short rape, then check out this site and its sister sites. If you aren't 100% sure - first try out German Goo Girls instead as the girls there are obviously having a wonderful time.

Pros:
* Varying plots with setup time invested for aid of the fantasy
* Well lit, good camera work, good sound
* Many video formats - 640x480 at +1MB/s in WMV, MP4, MPG and iPod/PSP ready MP4
* Screenshots and Video Trailers for all scenes
* Matching 600x900 photo sets for all scenes (500 to 1500 photos each)
* Flash streaming video w/ full screen option
* Network wide advanced search, category search/browse, model search/browse, random scene button
* Weekly updates
* Fast downloads (1.16 MB/s), download accelerator friendly
* User comments, ratings, favorites, forum
* Full access to Brazzers Network (19 other sites) and 40 bonus sites with streaming content
Cons:
* Smallish site (only 26 scenes)
* Very little variation in the sets (usually a teen girl’s bedroom)
* Very little variation in wardrobe (dressed as stereotyped “little girl” teens)
* No high definition video
* No high resolution photos
* Small, opaque watermark in right corner of videos (transparent on photos)
* Category listings have varied accuracy (they do not always include all the scenes they should)
Bottom Line:
Teens Like it Big tries hard to vary the plots of their scenes despite those two obvious requirements. Unfortunately, 73% of the scenes end up in a teen girl’s bedroom. The models also overact to a fault with many repeated statements by the female about the voluminousness of the member or the minuteness of the vessel and can sometimes shatter the fantasy that the site sells.
It is all easy to see with good lighting and camera work. The models are almost exclusively natural & petite, a pointed difference from the other sites in the network, and the male models fit the bill to a T. The action is at times too hardcore for the fantasy but the multitude of positions are nice. The scene begins with oral sex (often for both) and generally ends with a facial.
It surprises that the network hasn’t embraced HD yet, but the content is at least crisp and easily accessible, though high motion scenes will show some dithering. Many preview options make for easy download decisions.
The models are qute attractive and sell the teen look well and the sex is always enthusiastic. Despite the site’s size, it would receive high marks – so its membership in the Brazzers Network really pushes it to the top. This gives the user access to 19 other sites with all the content categorized and searchable, rating functionality, a full forum and more. Still young, the site needs to grow, learn to vary its sets & wardrobe and tone down the mid-sex acting to secure the status of legendary.

Bottom Line:
Real Wife Stories focuses on sexual fantasies revolving around married women in extramarital relations. The models have the porn star look; happily, the wardrobes aren’t all porn star stock & trade and the site matches the set to the story and has everyone at least adlib lines that make sense.
Good camera work & lighting so everything is easy to see. The models are at ease and adopt their characters while showing off their talents – though overacting is the norm. Nothing here is subtle but the scene setup means it doesn’t need to be. You get different positions with oral sex to start (often for both parties) and the finale is external but the target varies, not just facials.
On the technical side, videos & photos are a bit small for a wealthy network (640x480 | 600x900) but the content is crisp – though in high motion scenes some dithering is visible. Many preview options (trailers, screenshots, matched photo sets) gives a very thorough feel for a scene prior to download.
The site is too small to stand on its own (19 scenes) but since they have already established a tangible theme and done it well it indicates that the site will continue to grow and thrive. As a member of the Brazzers Network it’s a part of tons of content that’s all categorized & searchable. User interaction is great with everything from ratings to a forum at their disposal. Despite its technical limitations, the site’s character and the included network make it nothing short of excellent.
I generally get about 80 to a 100 spam emails a day, however I've never actually kept track of what sites were causing it. It isn't all that inconvenient. Sure it would be nice to not have spam, but current spam blockers are pretty good.
Very important in two ways - in solo instances the model looks more attractive when looking directly at the camera (this is standard human response that studies have oft confirmed, though sample sizes sometimes leave a bit to be desired), and in scenes with two (or more) models performing together, I prefer to see the models making eye contact with each other. If it is a hardcore scene, they should not be looking at the camera - it is no fun when they break the "fourth wall".
I generally try not to - as a good preview page usually is the equivalent of a limited trial. However, I understand a webmaster's hesitation for doing a full trial. If I were running a site, I would focus my efforts on a good preview page and not offer any trial.
I have on occasion accidentally joined a limited trial - that was always upsetting.
That would indeed be wise :-) Though you might be surprised the terms and conditions you have inadvertently agreed to in the past. Sometimes it requires as little acknowledgment as taking the document into your possession. Trains were covering all kinds of crazy conditions by just printing them very small on the train ticket and stating that by taking the ticket you agreed to the conditions. I think in the end they got in trouble for that, but it worked for a while, lol
Looking through the preview photos, I gotta agree with you - it looks like they are using seriously sub par equipment. My $700 DSLR takes photos that are just as good. One really needs to foot the bill for a proper camera if they want to be METArt 2.0.
I don't usually read the Terms and Conditions but I'll bet this isn't all that uncommon. In business in general it is common practice to reserve as many rights as you can think of with no concern as to if it will or will not hold up in the court of law. If you had it written down in the first place it can do nothing other than help you. So they write it down and hope for the best. If you check the policies of many companies outside this industry you'll find the same thing. The company I work for reserves everything excluding possibly enslaving your offspring to pay off debts incurred. Though we might have an addendum that covers that.
A Drooler and Denner pointed out, the sheer number of porn websites necessitates that there will be ones with unethical (no dash necessary) business practices. Frankly, by its very nature the question is rather vague and certainly far reaching - unethical practices can be little, annoying things like the pre-checked trial sign-ups or content rotation to big, serious things like identity theft.
I would say half of the sites in the world practice some sort of unethical business methodology. I would say those that are seen in TBP's database are much less likely to behave in such a manner. Many sites are plain bad, but not that many are trying to rip you off per-say.
lol - Max Hardcore, yes I couldn't have picked a better suggestion myself. That would be perfect. America watched them grow up, now it wants to see them degraded :-P
"A Studied Casualness", good term - yeah, that might not be up my alley, but I'll have to check it out none-the-less. I'm certainly quite used to casual style in videos, I'm just usually less of a fan in photos. I guess, I won't know for certain until I browse the site for a while. Thanks for all the info :-)
Thanks for the clarification - it validates my estimation of the content from their preview pages. I thoroughly understand how you've tired of the "perfect" model look, it can get boring. Years ago I was a member of both MET Art and Hegre Art (back when it was called the Hegre Archives) with year long subscriptions to each. By the time the year was up, just about the last thing I wanted was to look at another glamour girl posing in a window. So I joined a few ATK sites, and that was a nice departure from the glamour model look.
As for the technical aspects of the photography - I guess I'm a bit of stickler about that. A number of people like the poor photography that sometimes shows up on Suicide Girls (which I've been a member of off and on for years) - it always drives me nuts. It isn't just a matter of the photos being crisp and throughly in focus - modern autofocus is so superb that the camera will handle that just fine as long as there is even remotely enough light. An old Sony I had actually projected a laser matrix in front of it and would autofocus in nearly pitch black.
Even with "grit" porn, I expect a certain artistic focus. So you want to do aggressively unorthodox photos and put the photographer's feet in the photo? Fine - but make that style a continuing theme throughout the site. In the preview photos I see photos that could use much color balancing, plus others with washed out colors, flash shadows and so on. Many of the photos look like they want to be smoother, they just aren't.
If you want it to be gritty - photograph it at high ISOs. Throw various objects in the extreme foreground that we have to look past. Give us bizarre angles, like overhead or underneath shots. Photograph using just the on camera flash - or light the scene with a TV. There are tons of fun ways to look amateur while being professional - I just get frustrated by content that looks professional with some amateur seeping through.
Frankly, early Hegre Art stuff had a lot of that problem, he has come a long way over the years. I don't know how young Girls Out West is - maybe they too will improve with time, or maybe they know what they are doing and it just won't ever be quite to my taste. I'll join at some point in the future and try it out, a number of the models do look rather interesting.
Looks like an interesting site, I may have to check it out sometime in the future. Though it appears to have the same basic downfall of the amateur style that Abby Winters has, many cute models but very, very few beautiful models. At least as far as the photos they put in their tour.
The photography also appears to be sub par in technical skill when compared to Simon Scans or Abby Winters (in my opinion the big two in this genre) and your description seems to confirm this. (Am I right about that?) Still, photo shoots with less of an agenda can sometimes capture some very interesting moments. Plus, the site does seem to have a huge variety of models - more varied than either of the aforementioned sites - so that is appealing.
