Wow, a 99! I'm going to have find something to complain about here... :)
I do like how you call Zoli "The internet's best porn assistant." Well, he is certainly one of the luckiest! I mean if you were describe all of his content you would probably get pretty creeped out, but the way he does it he somehow comes off as the lovable (but again very lucky) goof who the girls just adore -- figures, right? I guess if the models are going to willingly agree to be in his videos -- knowing what normally goes on in them -- then the action is going to be pretty consensual anyways.
It looks pretty much as fake as the other sites but with a more serious tone, possibly so as to de-emphasize the prop cock (not to mention the pint size confectioner's glaze 'cumshots').
The darker theme of this site is pretty obvious with the red and black color scheme and the quasi-S/M tour videos, but somehow it's a little easier to swallow (uh, poor word choice) with the laughably fake facial prop. I think if I were to dive into this type of porn (the over-the-top special effect cocks and cumshots) I would go for one of their other sites where the silliness of it all is acknowledged and more or less embraced as good humored sleaze.
I just joined a few days ago and am having quite a bit of fun exploring the various sites -- a lot of content for one price!
I have seen the pages loading somewhat slowly as mentioned in another comment, but the downloads have all been speedy for me, at least 1.2 Mb to 1.5 Mb/s. I have only been using the recommended Firefox download manager DownloadThemAll!, so maybe it's a software problem for you.
This is one of my top complaints about this network, and it can be very annoying. The majority -- but by no means all -- of the content can be found on 1ByDay, but plenty of material is spread throughout the other sites. Minus maybe CherryJul and Sophie's Fantasies, which have only have a few months of archives before they apparently gave up the ghost, most of these sites have quite a bit to dive into, but 1BD is still where I start looking for stuff.
This is a hell of deal -- I'm itching to take the plunge before the end of the month -- but I think it's actually nine-for-one. They may have material spread throughout the five sites you already listed, but I believe this deal also includes:
What I've seen of this site, and Kink.com's network in general, is that it can either be a bold, new awakening for some or a bold, scary turnoff for others. Enemas, fisting, and gaping all sounds fine to me (at least the way EB handles it) but I know others who would unplug their router and run for the hills. ("I love porn, but what the fuck is this?!")
At least you don't seem too turned off, though I'm kind of neutral on what I've seen of their enema stuff. After anal fisting, even double anal fisting!, an enema almost seems quaint by comparison. And seeing the anal fisting makes me feel like a virgin compared to what the girls get into here. Like shooting some hoops with some friends and then watching a professional game on TV, realizing you're not even close. :-)
Just out of curiosity, since they seem to emphasize video, what do you think of the Q&A/interviews at the end (occasionally at the beginning) of their videos?
Yeah, I mentioned the photoflash problem in my review; either you have a videographer in the photos or the photographer in the videos. One at a time, please! I understand this in hardcore scenes (catching the dudes' cumshots, which can obviously be pretty much impossible to accurately recreate in separate shoots), but in solo and girl-girl scenes I think it would do wonders to not shoot the video and photos simultaneously.

Pros:
+ Lots of beautiful, happy, sensual, and mostly French, girls who love what they do
+ Large amount of content: claimed 1028 vids, 70,358 pics, 327 girls
+ Nice range of choices, from soft to hardcore, with quite a bit of anal, fisting, and pissing too
+ DL speeds of around 500 kb/s
+ Easy navigation, with quick and advanced search features
+ Newest videos are 1280x720 HD, newest pics are 3000x2000
+ Few, if any, American or Eastern Euro girls, tattoos, or implants (quite a few piercings though)
+ Billing through CC Bill
+ Discounted price of $25 through PU
Cons:
- Older content is lower quality, and some scenes are quite short
- Some scenes that are both taped and photographed lose overall focus (see bottom line)
- Some models are not that hot, or just too hairy
- There is occasional camera work that some may find annoying, but it's not that bad
- Almost exclusively French, though site is offered in several languages (English, French, German, Japanese), so France-haters might dislike it
- Condom use may be a turnoff to some
Bottom Line:
Ah, France: the women, the wine, the food...the porn? Yes, I had my doubts about an almost purely French site, especially considering I prefer German and British content when I think of European porn. It is not that I do not like the French; I do, but I think of them as purveyors of more erotic material, rather than the crazy, but bland, style of perverted arts we produce ad nauseam here in the U.S. But this is exactly what I like about this site.
It is neither a pure closeup/gynecological style nor a beautiful, but boring, glamour photography one. Instead it is a mix of hot young, almost all French, girls who do only what they are comfortable doing, never what they feel they "have" to do. Fortunately that covers a lot of ground, from the soft through the hard, and lots in between, including quite a bit of fisting and some peeing (if you are looking for any of this).
These girls seem to be more on the amateur side, though not so much that they have no clue as to what they are doing, or how to do it well and make it look good. Some are no doubt professionals, but there are few implants or models who sport the typical American porn look. There are a few tattoos, but mostly on the guys (maybe three or four very lucky Frenchman who get to really enjoy all these models), and there are more piercings than other modifications. Quite a few are hairy, even by our demanding standards, but it really didn't bother me because of the sheer enthusiasm they show towards their work.
My major complaint is the whole video versus photography approach. Both are captured quite well, but the overlap can be annoying. For example, a photoshoot with a bunch of pics of the cameraman/woman, or a video with the camera flash going off every few seconds. Somewhere in the mix of things the thrill is gone and I am too distracted by the other camera to fully enjoy the videos or pics. This hurt the videos more than the pics, since you can just delete the pics with the camera in them, but I think it keeps quite a few videos from being really good.
Others have cited the camera work, but I like it since it means videos that are actually edited (sometimes with music, instead of just plain porn "dialogue") and not just a single 20 minute take. They also use two or three cameras in some scenes, and it makes for some interesting and enjoyable videos.
There really is a loving and consensual passion to the content here, particularly the hardcore scenes (straight or lesbo). It is something that seems to be missing from most American porn of late, and I forgot how much more I could enjoy things when the sex is an act of physical love and not one of physical degradation. It makes the models more relaxed and comfortable in what they are doing, and to me that is truly erotic.
I have to say I have more than just a passing interest in joining this site but those download limits you mentioned are unbelievable--hourly, what's this site thinking?! I guess all things in moderation is the reasoning here.
This looks like a cool site with a lot of what I like to call 'entertaining' content and sister sites but it's just too damn expensive for what doesn't look to be a lot of quantity. Wish they had a full trial available. : ( I do love how you describe Alysa as a "Super Mega Extreme Gaporama Babe." Wow! She's hired!
Yeah, I am really lost as to what he or she is referring to. Maybe it is someone who works for the site (but I doubt it) or a really enthusiastic fan...either way I still hate the anonymous ratings, even with comments.
Excellent review! Nice to see a member being honest about this site; I mean really, what's with all the high scores?
Anyways, I am never sure how to classify this site. Like others said, it is too disrespectful to its models to be glamour, plus most photos and videos are not up to the more "artsy" sites' standards, and if they are it took too long to implement. It is not really hardcore either, or at least solo hardcore, due to all the repetition. I became so bored with the site so quickly.
I am not big on search features -- I prefer to just wander and wade through the material -- but here the quantity overwhelms you long before the quality does. I think this site has a lot of great content, it just doesn't present it to its fullest potential.

Pros:
+ Tons of content, all archived
+ Hot young models, most are unknowns
+ Some good videos, with masturbation, anal, toys, including some in HD
+ Pretty easy and simple navigation
+ Selected photos are available in gigantic sizes (2000 x 3000!)
Cons:
- Normal photos could be a lot bigger and clearer
- Content can get repitive and boring, sometimes pretty softcore, even for a girl-only site
- Downloads could be faster
- Too much clothed and public nudity scenes
- Not every model has videos
- Better content descriptions needed for the model listings (it's not clear whether something is in a video or photo)
Bottom Line:
First off, this is a huge site - lots of exclusive content, available to all users. Unfortunately, all this content was not created equal. A model could be doing some big insertions in a scene, but half the photos will just be of her undressing, or doing some stupid public nudity, and this gets frustrating very fast. The vast majority of these women are very attractive; it just takes too long to see them nude. The photos themselves are good, but really way too small (1100 x 800 max). There are huge photos available in a big pics section, but they are only available in zip packs, so you have to DL a whole scene (some 100mb+, a slow DL on this site) just to get a few good ones.
This site gets high marks for the sheer amount of content available, the beauty of its models, and its videos, but they seem to fail to reach the full potential of it all by not offering bigger size normal pics and more nudity (it is a porn site after all). Fortunately, navigating and finding the goods is quick and easy, though they are not always clear what is what on the model listing pages (whether something is in a video or photo), and some stuff I stumbled upon by accident, but it's not mentioned (a few pissing photos, for example). Still, this is not a hardcore site, so if you looking for rough hard content with guys, then this isn’t the place.
Very unique looking site that doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, though I guess that's required given the genre. Actually looks quite similar to the little anime I have seen, except for all the western girls.
Sucks this is streaming-only, though given the content (triple fisting! prolapse!!), it's probably better that this isn't saved on a hard drive for a future date when you're browsing your collection only to find out how perverted you truly are.
Still, the petite girls with the big insertion talents are always interesting...
That's what I have been doing too, though the way their links change is annoying as well.
I've been a member of In the Crack before, when the videos were still pay-per-view. Since they have a better deal now I will probably rejoin soon since their content pretty much speaks for itself -- and I like what it says!
I prefer all-girl sites, and In the Crack definitely fills that requirement, but it goes so much beyond what others do that it's pretty unique and rarely (if ever) boring or predictable.
I know I am not alone on this one. When you click on the description page for a video or photoshoot you get the model's name at the top along with the scene name, but the model's name is not a link!
There are preview photos for videos, thumbnails for photoshoots, and a nice little description, along with keywords such as anal, toys, etc., but no link to the model's page! Is it too hard to change these to links? Instead of being able to search for something, clicking on a video or photoshoot, and then checking out the rest of a model's material, you have to click the "Search by Model" link and find the model from there.
The site itself is laid out cleanly and organized pretty neatly, but without a few strategic links it only looks nice - it doesn't actually work very well.
Linking model names would be a big improvement to this site's navigation. For now everything feels like dead ends that don't link to anything, and nobody likes backtracking.
I recently joined and am pretty happy with the content; nice big photos, beautiful HD videos...almost look like movies compared to others out there. The models are definitely hot, though I don't like how they use different names from other (non-Sapphic) sites. I am also kind of burned out on all these eastern European models, next site I go for will have a lot more American models, or least ones whose native language is English.
You were right about the navigation; annoyingly link-less video and photo pages. Their search tool works well, but then I find a cute model and I have to go through the "Search by Model" pages to see more! I am glad the layout is pretty simple and clean, though would it really have been that hard to link models' names?
Thanks. Yeah, 30G is pretty generous, nearly 1T for a 30 day subscription, so it's not too bad. I get greedy sometimes, especially when I first join a site, so it kind of worried me. I am sure if I focus in (uh sorry, bad pun) on what I like -- and this site looks like it has plenty of it -- I will be fine.
Sorry I missed your review when you posted it the other day. Man, what a score--a healthy 95! Though I would argue if a few sites should be in the 90s this could be one of them (okay, I gave it an 87, but I'm a frugal bastard and I'm a stickler for low pricing). I do think you get what you pay for though, even if you spend half your membership trying to recover from your hot girl-high after first joining. I can't say this has universal appeal but it has a little something for nearly everyone into basic girl-only porn; softcore posing, girl-girl, big butts/lips/smiles/cracks, to a kind of up close nastiness that would make Larry Flynt blush (in envy).
Great review!
(And I am pretty sure you meant to say you would fill your hard disk not "desk"? I think if anything this sight would make you fill your desk with spare tissues and paper towels... ; - ) )
I have always gotten speedy downloads from ITC, even when downloading multiple huge files at once, so it's nice to hear you are now getting in on the 'action' like many other members. They have some seriously large HD video files so fast downloads are pretty critical to enjoying their content.
I was browsing around ITC the other day and noticed they made a change to their site; now instead of just organizing models by name or release date--which were only accessible by page number, not a letter or date--they have added a new sorting feature where you can browse by release date, model name, model age (at time of shooting of course), nationality, or shooting location.
I was not a huge fan of their overly simplistic system before, so this is a definite improvement for me--and a quick way to point me in the right direction when I am digging through my hard drive.
Their search engine needs an upgrade though; it's still just by term and video category. It doesn't apply to photos which don't always have the same content as the videos from the same shoot. The search results also only give you a list of videos with no direct links to the models' respective shoot pages so you can check out more of her 'Crack portfolio. Hopefully they will give their search engine a little more power in the future.
At $35 for U.S.-based perverts I would say this site is on the high end of the price spectrum, at least for a monthly rate of a single site, but rejoining only every so often I would say it's worth it. But $47.81 is really pushing it even for the quality of the heart-stoppingly hot honeys who step in front of their cameras.
Whatever you do I would not recommend sending cash though, you just might have to calm down and wait a while. : (
