| Pros: |
-Official site of French-Canadian porn star Zeina Heart.
-Exotic, petite, always smiling, all natural, zero tattoos, zero piercings.
-87 photo sets. 60% 1200x800; 40% 800x600. 100 photos per set.
-90% of sets are solo: mostly posing, some spread and toy masturbation.
-Many outdoors sets in natural scenarios.
-Production quality (outfits, settings) improves as sets get more recent.
-35 videos. 80% 480x360 1000kbps; 20% 640x360 1500kbps.
-50% of videos are boy-girl; 35%, solo masturbation; 15%, girl-girl.
-BTS content. 27 photo sets and 20 videos.
-Her anal scene from Erik Everhard's movie "Canadian Beaver 1". |
| Cons: |
-Zeina Heart seems to not be involved with the site any more.
-Content is not dated but I'm certain last regular updates were in 12/2007.
-Only 3 outdoors solo photo galleries in 7/2008.
-Images are somewhat small. No zip files for pictures.
-Amateurish photos. Many low-key settings (drapes hanging in the background).
-Some content may not be exclusive (big opaque watermarks on some photos).
-Few boy-girl photo sets (3 are screen captures) and even fewer girl-girl.
-75% of videos are only available split in parts.
-Most videos are not exclusive (other sites' watermarks or movie titles).
-Some of the video dialogs are in French.
-Confusing angel and demon site skin: same content in both looks.
-No access to other sites from the same company.
-Diary section gets a file not found error.
-No way to contact webmaster. |
| Bottom Line: |
I had never seen much content of this model apart from promos but I've always liked her looks and I'm pretty certain I had browsed the free section of the site in the past; I remember having noticed the two site skins (angel and demon) and realized it was just a weird marketing trick: you got the same content whatever option you chose. I was happy when I noticed Zeina Heart's comeback to reality sites and DVDs last year and I eventually joined the site hoping it would still be fresh although it was highly unlikely: the free tour hadn't changed for a couple years and there were no recent promo galleries on the net.
At some point around 2006 this site may have been worth staying for a while. The Best Porn site facts from 02-02-06 list it as having a diary and forum; there were probably also several webcam shows since some of them are available for download. That's called good interaction in my book. But in 01/2009 they were all gone: no interaction whatsoever and you are just left with the content they produced back in the day.
Pictures seem to be mostly exclusive but they are pretty amateur looking. Outdoors ones are OK but indoor ones are not shot at the usual high-end mansions but badly lit studios with drapes as background at most. Zeina Heart looks great nonetheless but having seen great pictures of hers at other sites left me with a feeling of missed opportunity. The same goes for exclusive videos, which are mostly solo too. The boy-girl ones mostly come from movies and other sites; several scenes (including a rare anal) with Erik Everhard and Steve Holmes from "Canadian Beaver 1" or videos with watermarks from Hand Job Auditions, Camel Toe Auditions and Teenage Decadence.
Maybe Zeina Heart's comeback will get her once again involved with the site. In the meantime, I'd only recommend it to fans of hers. There's a lot of content of hers not available anywhere else and you can still catch a glimpse of her personality through the abundant BTS content. |

As I said in my review, I got the fully working trial to Muffia when joining Reality Kings but I don't know whether direct trials to Muffia are fully working too. Sorry I can't help you.
You could try writing a new comment to Muffia asking about it. It's highly likely some current member or someone from The Best Porn staff will know the answer.

Thanks for your input. I always have a very hard time deciding the right score. I usually end up trying to follow the rating guidelines. In this case, I felt the site "Does some things good, some things poor. Might recommend." so it's an "Average".
I remembered I had some solo sites at 75 with similar amount of high resolution content but where updates where erratic or the model was not involved at all (no diary, no cam shows) so I raised it a little bit to 78. I also took into account that the site has a clear schedule of updates for the next month and a half so it will keep on growing, albeit a bit too slowly.
On a side note, I always rate sites compared to other ones in that class. For instance, I rated at 80 a couple solo sites but also a big reality network even though, if I had to choose only one, that network would definitely be the one getting my money. I also have another reality network at 75, which I would always recommend over any solo site like this one.

| Pros: |
-Official website of Indian born US based porn star Priya Rai.
-All content is shot exclusively for this site.
-13 1800x1200 solo galleries. 75% portrait, 25% landscape.
-Big 230x185 thumbnails. Pictures also available at 900x600.
-Professional makeup, sexy clothes, nice settings, decent shooting.
-11 1200x720 8000kbps WMV movies: 6 solo, 4 boy-girl, 1 girl-girl.
-No music in videos apart from some occasional short intros.
-Videos also available in flash streaming at 576x324.
-Access to Private Camz shows.
-ccbill. Cheap fully working 3-day trial.
[Current update rate]
-1 new photo gallery or video every week.
-Short diary entries without pictures twice a week.
-First live cam show scheduled on February 23rd.
-List of last updates available in free tour. |
| Cons: |
-Site launched a month ago. Still few content and some design issues left.
-Slow update rate: only 1 photo gallery or video per week.
-No zip file for pictures.
-Pictures are solo only.
-All scheduled updates until April are solo.
-No lower resolution versions of videos available for download.
-She moans too much in videos. Sounds and acts a bit too fake.
-Managed by Aziani but no access to other sites from the company.
-Site design is a bit too plain.
-Interaction is limited to comments in diary entries. Cam shows are coming.
-No behind the scenes content.
-No direct internal messaging to model: Site Admin is the only available recipient. |
| Bottom Line: |
I remember first noticing Priya Rai when she was doing solo softcore stuff. A couple years ago she started doing boy-girl. I might have seen some of the scenes but never been a real fan of hers. The site spiked my curiosity when I saw it had exclusive material and Aziani was involved. The video on the home page where she's seen deepthroating and the trial option closed the sale for me.
Videos look really good. Picture quality is excellent and you get none of that porn music so you can hear the model talk, moan and spit; you can even hear the sound of her vibrators. She usually masturbates with dildos in solo ones. The boy-girl ones attempt to be reality scenes: 3 in a sex therapist series and rewarding a pizza delivery guy. I admit acting is as bad as anywhere else, she moans a bit too much and she has a penchant for spitting which might not be your cup of tea.
As long as they have that trial, I'll recommend it to anyone who's enjoyed watching any of her reality scenes. There are worse ways to spend your money. The main drawback is the slow update rate. It's even worse when you find out they have scheduled releases up to April and they plan on keeping this weekly rate. A solo site that has only one update per week right after its launch is hard to support. I wouldn't recommend staying longer unless you are a real fan and will be able to enjoy the shows or the interaction.
Panties fanatic bottom line: I noticed she was wearing the exact same panties in 3 out of the 8 sets where she does wear panties. It's weird because they pay a lot of attention to makeup, jewel accessories and elaborate wardrobe in general. I also wish there weren't so many panties-less sets: it's weird to see her get out of a business suit or a dress and have no panties on. |

Thanks. This site isn't an exception. Almost no US site takes into account time zones when scheduling shows. I wasn't planning on joining: it's just that 24/7 spy cams are are something I used to enjoy in the past and I was wondering whether they worked here.

Pretty cool although it's not obvious the feature is available.
The implementation, though, could be somewhat better. Browser doesn't request the image until you click on the arrow which causes a short delay between the click and the image appearing. This could be easily avoided by prefetching the first image of each scene. They could also request all the images in a scene once you click one of the arrows.
It's also not clear how many images there are once you start clicking; usually, there are 6 but sometimes more or less.
I also noticed some times nothing happened when I click the next arrow for the first time. Looks like some scenes' first image is the same as the default one.

I had been planning to go for the trial for some days and, so far, apart from having only one update per week and the somewhat slow speeds, looks like a pretty decent solo site. I'll probably write a positive review. I've already started to watch the videos and the image quality is excellent.
I didn't find any broken links but there are some bugs in the personalization options and the site design doesn't look totally finished. I believe they just launched, though. It's managed by Aziani; never joined any of their sites but I believe they have a solid reputation, so I suppose they will iron out all glitches sooner than later.

Official Priya Rai site. Just launched. Still some things left to polish. 4.95USD fully working 3-day trial. Diary. First live show next Monday. 13 1200x1800 solo galleries. 10 1200x720 movies: 5 solo, 4 boy-girl, 1 girl-girl. All content seems exclusive. Managed by Aziani. Looks good but it's just starting.

Thanks for your quick reply. I really don't see what's the point of advertising 24/7 cams when they cannot get them to work properly. I mean, two weekly shows for members is pretty awesome, way over what the majority of solo sites do. Why not advertise that fact alone?

The trial I got was a 3 day full-access and I didn't notice any download limits. It's certainly possible to join Muffia without being a Reality Kings member but, at least at that time, I could download almost everything I was interested in from Muffia in those 3 days.

I'm curious about the cam shows. The free tour says she does 3 weekly cam shows, that she also has 3 cams live 24/7 from her home and that she broadcasts all her shoots and travels.
Is any of these claims for real? What does she do on the regular shows? Does she bring any guests? Are any of these shows archived? Thanks in advance for any further info.

mbaya's Review
Thanks for the info on all the sites of the network. Looks like Rip Her Up is the most interesting one.
I was a bit skeptical when I saw you first mentioning the models might be from Spain or Portugal because I strongly felt it was an Easter European network. The models, the buildings that could be seen in the tour, ...
I now feel there's an important Spanish factor in it. I did some browsing, and there are two holders of the 2257 documentation: one is in Gibraltar (a small British enclave in mainland Spain) and another one is in Valencia (a Spanish city). The tour is also translated to a flawless Spanish and many of the models have Spanish sounding names. Some are South American for sure but there must be several Spanish ones among them.
I'll for sure will have to join this site at some point. Thanks again for all the info.

This is a new Muffia site. You may get a full-access trial to Muffia if you join Reality Kings. I got one when I signed a couple months ago. Unfortunately, King Dong was not up yet then.

Resolution is the usual 720x480 1400 kbps from Reality Kings. 30-35 minutes each scene. 10 scenes so far. The couple I watched had lots of cunnilingus and shots of hairy bushes. It all revolves around the bush but intros and settings are diverse. Some well known stars like Gianna Michaels, Kimberly Kane, Nikki Rhodes and Rucca Page.
If you haven't been a member of Reality Kings recently, they've also added CFNM Secret. Quite a good site too.

Fuck My Jeans

mbaya's Review
Thanks for the review. Watching the previews, I got the impression the jeans were just an excuse to start the scene, since almost all have pictures with the model fully naked, jeans out of the picture. Reading your review, I guess the jeans stay around longer than usual but it would be more creative if they stayed till the end.
Looks like this network has other sites centered around particular garments. Baby Dolls On Fire and I Love Mini Skirts are probably like this one but with baby dolls or mini skirts.
There are also other more generic clothed sex sites in the network. The previews for Rip Her Up or Lusty Office make me think they are somewhat more interesting.
And those "Fuck My Jeans" tags are funny :)

My experience with cam sites is scarce but I believe 4 or 5 USD per minute for the type of service most performers offer here isn't that expensive. But that's not the main reason why I listed the prices there: unless they are real cons or I run out of space, I usually state the bare technical facts in the pros section of my reviews.

| Pros: |
-100 models live from all over the world at any given time (10-15 of them from the US). 1000+ listed.
-Extremely easy to use. No over-configuration or infinite types of membership.
-Free chat with video when models are not in private. Sound not always available in free chat.
-All models have rates of 4 or 5 USD per minute.
-All chats are flash-based. Image and sound rate varies depending on model's connection.
-1 on 1 private chats resolution is 620x450. Image quality could be better (some pixelation).
-Credits can be bought while in private chat. Somewhat buggy, though.
-Option to automatically purchase credits when you run out.
-"Homemade movies" (separate membership) gives access to shows recorded by models.
-Add to favorites feature for up to 24 performers for easily finding them when online.
-Cam on cam available. |
| Cons: |
-No account of cam credits bought or when and who you spent them with.
-Too few categories. No porn star or couples category.
-Not possible to record the shows.
-Free membership requires giving out credit card details. It is really free, though.
-Unknown billing provider. Site knows and keeps your credit card details.
-Some of the models can also be found at other sites. Cam studios?
-"Alert when model is online" feature is buggy: not available for all models and at-sign is illegal email character!!
-Some of the foreign cam studios look really cheesy; sometimes other performers can be heard nearby.
-Certain amount of models aren't that attractive or wear unsexy clothes.
-No internal message system: no way to contact models privately to request special shows.
-Canceling for "Homemade movies" only through email.
-Some of the recorded shows require paying for them.
-Few models do "shows": multiuser access at lower price. |
| Bottom Line: |
Free membership gives you access to free video chats with all models. I went for it several months ago because I wanted to chat with a certain porn star. I eventually gave up because that model was never online at Europe-friendly times. Recently, I was checking the prices of the site and inadvertently bought some credits and a membership to "Homemade movies". They weren't showing my card details but they already had them since that "free" membership and the page wasn't clear that clicking that button completed the purchase using my credit card. Perhaps it was a mistake on my part because I'm used to the various steps of sites that use ccbill or epoch.
I feel the site lacks categorization. Some of the models have male partners around for the show but unless they choose to display him in their profile picture it's impossible to know. Cam sites should put this type of shows in a category of its own. I feel the same about models who have done some porn; see my comment from 02-04-09 for some models I was able to tell apart.
The site has also some annoyances. For some reason, question marks and other punctuation signs are deemed illegal in the free chat which makes asking questions or entering smileys impossible. This doesn't happen in 1-on-1 private chats, though. Even worse, when you enter your email to be reminded when a model comes online, you cannot type the at-sign. In any case, you can work around the issue via clipboard (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V). You also have to enter your email address for every model that you want to be alerted when she comes online.
I also had trouble once when trying to buy credits while on a show. Everything works if you wait until you're almost out of time: they pop up a panel asking for confirmation. But once I forced the panel to show but couldn't act on the buttons. Bottom line: buy credits before or wait for the panel to show on its own.
Naked.com can be found under several other domains but the design is always very similar. I also found it embedded inside Reality Kings cams section; your Reality Kings user name becomes the same at Naked.com but no password is needed. Didn't try buying credits through that user name.
Most models update regularly their sample photos (small as in any cam site: 250x150px) but rarely bother to change their default text for Biography, Kinky Things, Add-ons, Turn-offs or Turn-ons; they all read "I am a very friendly person looking to meet people online! Come and visit my erotic private show!" and "I am Shaved". |

I liked the Porn Pros Network (see my review from 07-13-08) but I don't get the point of huge fake cocks like in this site or Freaks Of Cock. For time reasons, I ended not downloading any clip from this site even though there were some favorites of mine in a couple scenes.
If you've never been a member of the network, you'll probably enjoy Deep Throat Love much more than this.

DHD isn't the best payment processor in the porn world. Most payment processors send your user name and password in the purchase email but DHD doesn't even mention the user name. Really weird.

TrashMan's Review
Excellent review as usual.
It's interesting the fact they are hosting videos on akamai. This should mean videos are served to each user from a server nearby so users will get excellent speeds wherever they are located. I've never come across another porn site using this kind of CDN.
I've never been a member but, if the main site doesn't deliver, it's a pity. It's sad that a company that cares enough about their product to set up a CDN doesn't also care about other aspects of the site.

You're right that they are far from perfect. But the sequencer part, where you can control almost every detail and make your own movie, is well worth it. Having the chance now to see what other users are doing with the game and learn new tricks sounds interesting. I wonder if it will be possible to get celebrity lookalike models created by other members and include them in your own scenes.
