I'm on at least once every day and will jump in more frequently when I'm on hold on the phone (happens frequently) or when a site I've already joined changes, comes up with a new deal or a new babe pops up that can be found on a site I don't belong to.
Compared to other porn review sites this one is far and away the best because it has a lively and active membership that is genuinely interested in sharing all experiences on porn sites, good as well as bad. There's no other site that even comes close.
My view is that Porn Users is essentially the Consumers Reports for the pay porn site user community where one can get real, accurate and timely information, not to mention, occasional great deals.
Ditto that. I dig this chick's tits and her great smile and probably would have dropped $20 to check her out in more detail. I think I'll giver a year or two and see what's up later on when she's produced much more stuff.
The $29.95 problem arose after I checked out the tour extensively, and with interruptions, so it's very possible that I created a cookies conflict that caused the higher price to appear.
I just tried again and it looks like it was me and not the site because the price now shows consistently as $24.95.
So my apologies to any who were put off by my comment.
After my posts on PU and my email communications from the webmaster last week, I thought we were good to go.
In his last email to me on Friday, 3/27 in response to the premature shutdown of my trial membership, he said, "...what will make you happy? do you want another day of access? or do you need to know customer support will get back to you?"
Because I consider responsive customer service very important for any sites I join, I responded with an email that said, simply, that I needed to know that customer support will get back to me.
I told him that, if he would give me that assurance, I would be signing up immediately because I really like the site.
Today, four days later, i have received no reply at all.
This tells me, simply, that, with this site, "you pays your money, you takes your chances." Unless and until I get some assurance that I can count on a full month of access for a full month membership fee, whicch seems unlikely with PornstarXS, they won't see my money.
When accessed via the link on PU, the price is $15.95 for the first month and $9.95 if you stay on board after that. These prices are better than those listed on PU.
If you want the $5 TBP/PU discount it's available only if you navigate immediately to the JOIN NOW page from the home page. If you choose to browse the free tour to see what they offer and then try to join after that tour, you will not receive the discount.
However with all the recent negative comments posted here, and with that last little bit of intentional misdirection by the site, I decided I really wasn't interested after all anyway so I decided to say the Hell with the site.
Frankly, since the beginning of true explicit porn, the idea is the fantasy aspect. The original cum shots were usually a quick pull out when the guy was about to ejaculate to demonstrate that the sex was real and it helped make the scene more of a fantasy fulfillment for the viewer.
These days where the guy is standing over the babe jerking himself off furiously so that the babe can get a load squirted on her face/boobs/whatever, just doesn't do anything for me except to tell me that the guy really wasn't getting off on the babe.
So I need another option, "the cum shot is not self induced by the male."
"... if they are underhand enough to do the other 5, how do you know you're safe in giving them your credit card details?..."
That's why I deal only with sites that use CCBill and Epoch because the site owners are not given any credit card details.
If you don't want to renew a membership all you need to do is go online with ccbill.com or epoch.com and tell them to cancel. Your losses are thus limited to what was already processed.
If a site uses another billing/payment service or does it themselves, you proceed at your own risk.
As I summarized in my PU comment, after I posted my issue on PU, I received a response from the Webmaster who offered to set me up with a temporary logon so I would get the full deal.
The temporary logon was more temporary than promised; it shut down before the promised expiry.
Although the webmaster says that we should contact him if we have any problems, neither he nor the site's customer service staff have responded at all.
The site is excellent with a lot of content not available elsewhere. But if one cannot access the site with a paid subscription, what's the point?
Shame. I like the site a lot and would be signing up for a full membership for sure if I had any confidence at all that they would provide basic support on a timely basis when things go wrong. But I don't have any confidence at all.
Yes I was issued a temporary logon id and password as the webmaster promised, and it worked fine...for a while. Then the same thing. Access denied.
And emails to them continue to go unanswered.
It's a shame because, as I've said, I really like the site, but not enough to go through the hassle of trying to get some response, any response, from them when I get prematurely shut down.
Hopefully they'll get their customer service act together. If they do they'll definitely be in the competitive mix with their counterparts on the web.
Second that. Their content and quality issues coupled with this made Babg Bros. a former site for me. I was a member for about 6 months but decided to cancel earlier this month and really haven't missed it for a second.
I tried a few back when they first showed up but they are a total waste of time and energy. In addition, one site caused my antivirus to wake up and go to work so the security concern is legitimate.
OK, still up and accessible 24 hours later so the access shut down must have been an isolated glitch.
So far I've run into a few dead links and the older videos are broken into segments instead of a single run, but so far I'm really liking this site based on 2 days into the trial.
It's a video site, no photos, so you photo guys will need to go elsewhere. Many of the videos are available on VideoBox, XMovies and other main stream video sites. But there's also a whole bunch of content that I have not seen on any other site, which is what really has me interested.
I'll be signing up for a full month membership and will write a real review after I've given the site a full stress test.
About an hour after I did what the Webmaster suggested I got an email back with an acknowledgment that my paid trial was in fact not working. He provided me with a temporary username/password that got me back up and running so now I'll be getting the full 48 hour trial.
Interestingly I got action from the site by posting my problem on Porn Users (this comment and a reply to the latest review). I got no action at all from my emails to the site's webmaster or customer service.
Bottom line based on my experience, so far, is if you sign up for PornstarXS, be sure to post any problems on Porn Users if you want to get the problems resolved. Don't wait for any response from Customer Service.
Now that I'm back on the site as a member, I'm still positive about the content of the site and may take a shot at signing up for a full month or more.
In his response above, the Webmaster said, "anyone reading this disgruntled review - it's simple, sign up for a trial and try it for yourself."
OK. I did. I signed up for the trial so I could try it for myself. I was very favorably impressed with the site, with the content and especially with the navigation, and I felt that I found a site I could stay with for a long time.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that about 24 hours or so into the 2 day trial I could no longer access the site. Instead I received a message that my membership had expired. I sent emails to cs@pornstarXS.com, to webmaster@pornstarXS.com and to Epoch billing support to see what was up.
I got an immediate reply from Epoch advising me that my account was still active and in good order. They suggested I contact the site's customer support for help.
After giving the site more time to reply, I sent a follow-up. Still no answer so I canceled my membership in order to prevent Epoch renewing my membership at the full monthly rate.
As of this writing I have received absolutely no communication at all from anyone at PornstarXS.com.
Frankly I really liked the site so I'm very disappointed that the site has chosen to not be responsive to its customers.
Bottom line, if you are interested in this site, definitely choose the 2 day trial first. That way you're out only $4 if they deny you access instead of $25 for a full month. (The $4 is worth it because the site has a lot of content that I couldn't find on other sites such as VideoBox and, when I had access, the download speeds were very satisfactory and every download I tried were completed without any difficulty.)
I signed up early afternoon of 3/23/09 for the 2 day trial and had full access all afternoon and evening...and into today, 3/24, until afternoon, about 24 hours.
Even though Epoch's confirmation dated 3/23/09 at 1:35pm says "Today's charge is: $3.95 for a 2 day period. Membership renews automatically at $24.95 every 1 month until canceled" I now receive a message when I try to sign on that my subscription has expired. Attempts to get an explanation from customer service at the site and at Epoch are not answered. I did not cancel and actually planned to let the trial roll right into the 1 month membership.
I'll update this comment if and when I get a response from someone at the site or from Epoch.
UPDATE 3/25/09 am (16 hours after loss of access and 12 hours after first communication attempt) - Epoch responded quickly and said that my account shows as up and active and that I need to contact the Webmaster. No reply received yet in response to three separate communications to the webmaster and website.
UPDATE 3/25/09 pm (24 hours after loss of access and 18 hours after first communication attempt) - Still no reply from either the Webmaster or the site's customer service department. In order to avoid a renewal at full rate I canceled my membership through Epoch. I really liked this site based on the short time I had access so I'm disappointed that their support function(s) is so inept and nonresponsive.
Excellent review. Looking forward to many more, my friend.
I agree with the previous replies that Brazzers is getting boring with its emphasis on large fake tits and hard as hell looking babes. I joined originally because it had a wide variety of babes, some natural, some cute, some outrageous, etc., but in the last few months they have become way too repetitive.
BTW, the cross selling is a bit aggravating, but can also be useful for finding new and different sites, occasionally at rates better than offered on PU.
Accuracy: My main (only?) beef with VideoBox is the inaccuracy of the search function caused by sloppiness and carelessness in identifying the models correctly or in misspelled names, When a sit has 6,000+ DVD's accuracy is critical to locating material by model name.
Accuracy and coverage: My main beef with Bank Brothers is that the search function (an overstatement is that they even have one) sucks big time. A large percentage of models are identified as "ehhh, I forgot." Many others are just first names. And the search result usually includes several totally unrelated hits. I'm canceling BB for that reason because there are so many other sites with great content and that provide much better search capabilities.
Coverage:FTV Girls is a high quality site but it has, essentially, no search function at all and is on my "next to go" list for that reason.
I suggested this poll because I was curious how others felt about this. If a search function is rated lousy in a review I usually move on without signing up, but if a good search function is operating on the preview site that I like and that has a good review, I'm likely to sign up.
Had to think hard and long (no, not my willy, my gray matter). I love the natural beauty and absence of body art with Euromodels and the variety and outrageousness of our Chatsworth California producers.
I concluded, with some angst, that I had to go with the Euros because of their babes and because they have the basics (lighting, camera angles, focus on body parts) down pat. Give 'em time and we may see better variety from them shortly.
But everytime I see a US model with tats covering half her body, I need to move on. The beauty of a gorgeous babe's body is enhanced by natural and unblemished skin, not by some silly tattoo artist's work.
Just in case you missed it the PU special monthly price for Naughty America is $15, down from the public price of $25. I grabbed it as soon as I saw the new price and am quite happy with it so far.
Ditto. The site is sliding downhill and I've had it with the lousy search engine, the silly babble by the camera guy and the garbage footage that sometimes fills over 1/2 of a scene.
There are too many other great sites out there that this one is easy to quit. And I did.
I'll be writing a review shortly and haven't decided on a score yet, but it will definitely bring the average down a notch or two.
Super good news. TBP just posted a PU price of $14.95 a month. Even better news (for me) is that procrastination pays off. I budgeted $25 in my horndog allocation to sign up for NA on payday (3/25), but with the $14.95 deal, I signed up today just to make sure they didn't change their mind on that discount.
So far I've pissed away an hour and a half just checking things out. It's a helluva good site with great stuff.
