Thanks toad, much appreciated! I figure this network is very much a matter of taste and opinion and depends on what you value most. Those who like lots of high spec updates wont like it, but I do.
There was no room to lay out the sequence of events for my first 24 hours of membership. Above is an abbreviated version. Here is the long unedited one. Incidentally since that first day, I have had no trouble accessing material.
First night of membership, most of the sites didn't load so any type of viewing or downloading was impossible. I mailed customer services and unsurprisingly, given their record as documented on here, received no reply. I mailed Epoch who said to try a different browser. I had already tried that, however the next day the sites were functioning properly.
One download later and I received a message that I had been banned for logging in too many times. I mailed them to say that's because I tried to log in at a number of sites several times to see if any were working. I was supposed to apply to them to reset my password, but given their lack of any customer support, thought this would be impossible. I complained to Epoch, who said it wasn't their concern. I said it was their concern as they were supposed to be a reputable billing agent dealing with reputable websites. After a while with me talking about complaining to my credit card company, the Epoch person said they may refund me if I didn't hear in 24 hours from the network. Unbelievably, it was easy to reset my password as it appeared to be automated. Just as well, as no one seems to be in customer service at 1 Pass For All Sites. They should be renamed No Customer Support For Any Site.
The next day I finally heard from them saying they had temporary hosting problems, but now everything was fixed, and that if I wanted my money back to contact Epoch and they would refund. They also sent me a new password. My reply was "Customer support on your network seems awful, but the material although for the most part not updating, seems very good. As long as the network continues to function I am satisfied enough not to ask for my money back. The network happened to go down the very first night I was a member, and there is no customer support, so that is not a good impression if the site isn't merely laying down and dying, and scraping out a few last memberships - which is what it gives the impression of doing."
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
No DRM, pre checked cross selling, regional discrimination, or download limits.
Mostly exclusive material, with attractive girls.
Less gynaecological close ups than some other sites.
Not too many tats, or fake breasts, and not too much choking, slapping and abuse of models, that many of us here hate.
High quality spec vids and pics on newer updates, and professionally shot.
Epoch as billing agent.
$24.31 membership available through Amour Babes instead of $34.95.
Cons:
Poor customer service.
Not great membership home pages, with all of them looking the same. Once again, if you want to see what's good to download, the trailer advertising pages that are open to everyone, are far better that the membership home pages.
Only a few sites on the network updating.
Obviously with the majority of sites now defunct, the quality on those sites is below what is expected of modern standard.
Annoying navigation at times.
Irritating advertising links at top of membership pages.
Little build up or stripping in photos.
Another network with very little age, ethnic, or weight, diverstiy. The models are mainly young, white, and slim.
Most of the newer updates now have mp4, but no wmv downloads.
Bottom Line:
First night of membership, most of the sites didn't load so any type of viewing or downloading was impossible. I mailed customer services and unsurprisingly, given their record as documented on here, received no reply. Next day the sites were functioning normally
One download later and I received a message that I had been banned for logging in too many times. I mailed them to say that's because I tried to log in at a number of sites several times to see if any were working. I was told by an automated message to apply to them to reset my password. Unbelievably, it was easy to reset my password as it appeared to be automated. Just as well, as no one seems to be in customer service at 1 Pass For All Sites. They should be renamed No Support For Any Site.
The next day I finally heard from them, saying they had temporary hosting problems, but now everything was fixed.
Even though there are 28 individual sites, they have the same appearance, with a number of the same girls appearing on different sites, only with different outfits, different settings, and different situations. To be fair, that means it isn't any different to most of the other "networks." Names like Tricky Old Teacher, 18 Virgin Sex, Creampied Sweeties, Young Anal Tryouts, Horny In Hospital etc, gives you an idea what to expect from each. The material on updating sites is well produced, with good lighting and photography, and appeals to my taste, as it is slightly less gynaecological than some of the other networks. The girls are attractive, and there are enough of them, and enough decent material, to make the membership worthwhile.
Some of the older sites look untended and uncared for. They often have a photo and name for the girl by the video download, then next to that, on the plot synopsis, have a different name for the girl. Some of the pictures are clearly out of sequence in the set. Either no one has bothered to put them into a correct order, or no one has noticed. It leaves a very bad impression of a site about to go down the plughole, and trying to pick up a few last memberships.They have dated updates, and it seems above board, with no bringing in of old stuff and passing it off for new. If they devoted just a few minutes to tidying things up, it would leave a much better impression.
The newer photos are typical of current porn thinking. Eight or ten all looking the same, then a fast forward to the next batch, without much stripping, teasing, or attempt to set out a chronological sequence of pics. Apperance of the models is young and natural, photographed in a professional way, with little airbrushing or retouching that I could see.
It may be just me being awkward as usual, but the older defunct sites like Wild Young Honeys, and Young Models Casting have better photos as far as being in a chronological and natural order, and looking more like a genuine photo set to those of us older porn consumers. Instead of 8-10 pics all looking the same then fast forward to another bunch all with the same pose, they have more of a continual flow, than most of the modern ones. Unfortunately their specs are below average for modern porn. Why the Tatyana set on Wild Young Honeys should have a yellow/orange hue, is beyond me, but it's a shame because they were only taken six years ago, not eighty.
There is wmv or flv streaming in high or low segments, which stop at the end, and do not automatically move on to the next segment. Slide shows, and full or part downloads are also available. The slide shows disconcertingly move from right to left rather that stay still.
Download speeds are on the slow side of average, but not unacceptable, with an unstated limit of six simultaneous downloads. Picture and video quality is good on the sites that are still updating. Pictures are 1200x800 on the newer updates, 1023x680 and 960x640 on the older ones. Examples of wmv video quality are Tricky Old Teacher and I Fucked Her Finally, 1920x1088 at 8447 kbps, Young Anal Tryouts 1920x1088 at 8447 kbps and 1280x720 at 5030 kbps, Young Models Casting 832x468 at about 2000kbps, down to Wild Young Honeys and Young and Banged 520x416 at about 1450 kbps. However most of the updating sites are starting to use mp4 only, instead of wmv, for their downloading and streaming, so now you have no wmv option.
Despite all the faults I am renewing for another month. The older sites lack modern spec, but have an older porn look that appeals to me. It's a lack of gynaecological closeups, and irritating cameramen and male leads that I find refreshing. The new material is pretty good too.
This network appeals to me, but take a look at the TBP, and other PU reviews, before deciding. For me it's a nice little goldmine. They even have a "new site coming soon."
This is true. I put that in my review. The other two sites that come in the package - Picking Up Pussy and TNA Tryouts do have the higher definition downloads, but not 18Eighteen. Don't know why.
Yep Cap'n, same applies here, which probably makes us sort of weird. Being weird is something I came to accept, and eventually be proud of. Better that, than be mainstream sheep, being told what to watch, what to think, and what to consume.
As a final PS before the review gets buried, I think I had better add that if you go to the model directory or photos on 18 Eighteen, you will find a wealth of archive softcore photos. Finding hardcore is very rare, but the softcore picture archives go back ten years. I should have put that in the review, but being more a hardcore fan I virtually ignored it, and the navigation is not user friendly, so I gave up searching. There is also some hardcore in there which is not listed under hardcore.
Thanks Graymane, it's always nice to receive a positive comment. Yeah I have always hated those gynaecological close ups. I want to see the whole beautiful girl. It's not so bad on the pics, and the photography is good. It's just on the videos they close in far too often for my taste. It's been a problem with porn since the very start, and this site is by no means the worst. Even on those old fashioned 70's films with plots, that some members here rave about, there were a lot of closeups in the hardcore scenes. There were stand ins for some of the actresses in quite a few of those too, which is why they used the closeups.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
No DRM/DL limits.
A variety of download options with good download speed.
Sites still updating.
Lack of irritating things Porn Users hate like pulling hair, spitting, slapping, insulting the models, mucking about on camera etc.
Good customer service, and no pre checked cross sells.
No regional discrimination.
$10 discount for 18 Eighteen through TBP/PU.
Easy sign in procedure.
Good quality video and zipped pics.
Mostly no contraceptives.
Models are young, attractive, have girl next door looks, and there are mercifully few fake breasts.
Cons:
Navigation is difficult, not least because there are far too many links and adverts for trying to sell members material outside the membership.
Far too many tattoos and piercings.
To use a perfect Drooler phrase - "pussy fixated" sums up the photography and camerawork, which is a shame because they are professionally done, with both the videos and pics looking good. It's just there are far too many close up groin shots, and three quarter shots, especially in the videos, where you don't see the whole model.
Very little anal.
Suprisingly few videos compared to some sites, especially long serving ones. Less than half the material on 18 Eighteen is hardcore.
Bottom Line:
TNA Tryouts and Picking Up Pussy are included with membership. You get a 10 dollar discount through TPB/PU. I was more interested in TNA and PUP than 18 Eighteen as they specialise more in hardcore, but I joined through 18 because of the discount. Less than half of the 18 Eighteen material is hardcore.
Pics come in downloadable zips or you can watch them as slideshows. Videos can be streamed or downloaded. Specs are as follows-:
Pics 1600 high or 800 medium resolution. TNA only has around 16-30 in each set whereas PUP and 18 Eighteen have 50-80.
Full downloadable videos in HD wmv at 1280x720 and medium HD wmv at 854x480. Medium wmv at 640x360 and mp4 at 640x360. There are also 5 minute segments in wmv at 640x360 and 360x240, or mp4 at 640x360. Unfortunately 18 Eighteen does not have the high 1280x720 downloadable videos. They do have 720 HD streaming. Full videos or 5 minute clips are available for mobile devices.
The videos on TNA Tryouts take the form of a girl coming to the door and pretending to be a newcomer. She takes part in a short interview before doing a strip and having sex. On Picking Up Pussy the build up takes the form of a girl being picked up by a driver or on a street/in a park. On 18 Eighteen the sex starts a little quicker. You see the same girls on all three sites, so the build up is just a bit of acting to get the scene going. Camera work and pics are good quality, but once again there is far to too much groin/pussy oriented and three quarter close ups for my taste.
On TNA Tryouts and Picking Up Pussy the videos and photo sets are dated, so although they are kept separate you can match up the pics to the video. On 18 Eighteen it's horrible. Very little is dated so in most cases you have to find either the photo set or video, then go to the model directory to match up the videos and pics. In fact there are so many bits and pieces, which are usually not great quality, that trying to find anything is very time consuming and annoying, because it's all mixed up with the upsells. Some of the material comes with the membership, some of it doesn't, and it's really tedious trying to sort out which is which. In the end I spent most of my time on the two bonus sites.
As on all sites, the older material is poorer quality. Given how long 18 Eighteen has been going I was surprised at how little high spec material was available. There was not a lot of hardcore avavailable on 18 Eighteen, but the other two sites are purely hardcore. Today I have counted 15 videos and photo sets on TNA, with 5 of them being 2011 updates. On PUP there are 30 videos and photo sets, with 5 being 2011 updates.
On cancellation there was an offer to remain for five pounds. If navigation was not so hard I'd have probably taken the offer.
However, I consider the money well spent, and good value. This is another site that I find to be almost old fashioned, and better for it, because of the lack of those annoying cons that we all hate.
Silly bugger - me that is. When I referred to the $10 discounted price through Porn Users, I of course meant TBP. I'm sure anyone who reads it will know what I mean. Just in case they don't - you have to go to The Best Porn and click on 18 Eighteen and follow the link to get the discounted sign up price.
Ik - yep I finally found a place that got me back on the straight and narrow, and downloading legit porn again.
I have to give the thumbs up for this organisation. I've been downloading for free for the last few months because I refuse to take out a membership with any site that tries to trick potential customers with pre checked cross sales. I have thought of joining this one for several months but was put off by the cross sales. Then yesterday I checked once again but couldn't find the pre checked box. Were they hiding it in an attempt to trick us? I sent the following email.
"I have been thinking about taking out a membership to this site. However I have always been put off joining any site that tries to trick members with pre checked cross sells. There is a warning on Porn Users about pre checked cross sells on 18 Eighteen, but I cannot see any on the join up page. It has a tick besides the discount of $19.95. Is there a hidden pre checked cross sell?
Please let me know if you have stopped trying to trick people. If there is no pre checked cross sell I may well try the site for a month. If there is an attempt to dishonestly steal money I shall be complaining to both my credit card company, the biling agent, and also publishing a warning on Porn Users."
I didn't expect a reply but surprisingly received one. The email read "Thank you for contacting us, I went online to make sure it doesn't have a pre-checked box for another site. And we do offer another site for a discounted rate BUT you must manually check the box to receive the offer."
I mailed back "Thanks for your reply. Having to manually check the box is fine by me. It's the pre checked ones I hate. I think I shall give it a go."
They replied " Thanks for the reply, we used to have it like that and to satisfy the clients we removed it and now you must check the box yourself to receive the discounted rate for the additional site."
Now hats off to any site that responds to demand. I signed on, and so far am pleased that I did. I originally was attracted to TNA Tryouts too. However if you join this site or Picking Up Pussy it costs $29.99 for the three sites - 18 Eighteen, TNA Tryouts, and Picking Up Pussy. However if you join 18 Eighteen through Porn Users you receive the same three sites - for the discounted price of $19.99.
I will be doing a rare review in a few weeks, but at first glance I really like it. Too many tats and piercings for my taste, but not many fake breasts. Attractive girls too, with mainly good quality pics and videos, so I consider it a worthwhile purchase. Finally a site that is worthy of receiving my money.
For me it's mainly principal, although any site that has pre checked cross selling is not to be trusted as they are trying to trick customers. I say "mainly principal" because I did take up the offer at the ridiculously cheap $5 price, which is basically giving it away. If not for the trickery I would view 21 Sextury in a different light, and would have been a member for many more months of the year.
I still think of this network as a place that has excellent material, but these new members are a tough crowd.
Agreed, for me 69 is a little low, especially when you compare this network to anywhere else scoring 70-80. They still produce some very good scenes in a professional way. My one downside is the pre checked cross sales, which is why I'm not signed up.
I very much agree with you, I have always hated ignorant immature comments on some sites. They are repugnant and sum up the intelligence and spirit of those sort of people. I am very surprised they do not moderate that sort of thing.
Absolutely right Monahan. In the past shady dealing porn suppliers made money out of ripping people off by not having what they claimed, then took the money and ran, or delivered absolute rubbish. This lot have great material and should in my opinion, be charging more for it. They certainly don't need to resort to dubious practices (or maybe they do). I dunno...strange very strange.
Thanks Graymane, yes we both know it takes some time and effort to create a decent review. I wasn't going to do a review for 21 Sextury becaue of the cross selling, and had decided I didn't have much time to do them anyway. Then the raffle ended, so I figured I'd do one to muck in and keep things going. Things are quieter here at the moment.
There are signs that maybe 21 Sextury is occasionally trying to get some build up in, but it's not something they excel in, the Jalace video on Pix And Video for example. Nice idea, but build up should feature more of the girl and less of the guy's face. Then after a little build up and oral there's a fadeout and straight into anal sex. Oh well, nice try.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Beautiful girls, professionally captured on video and photo, making them look at their best.
Girls look sexy and glossy, but natural enough, to not make them look jaded, old, tired, or professional.
Very high spec video and photo.
A good variety of download and streaming options, including zipped photos.
No DRM, download limits, or regional discrimination.
A massive amount of content, that is also exclusive.
New updates across the network, although some sites are no longer doing this.
Given the amount of content, quite good navigation. The home pages look inviting.
Not too much abuse of the models.
The best network for mass produced porn at a bargain price that looks sensational and expensive.
Cons:
Sadly, pre checked cross selling means the network cannot be trusted.
Home pages slowed down my computer considerably using internet explorer.
Mass produced homogeneous look. Too many photos and videos look the same.
Little build up, stripping, or teasing.
Too many tattoos and fake breasts.
Not enough ethnic, weight, or age diversity. Some models are painfully thin.
Models appear in my opinion, far too many times across the network, and that has worsened recently.
Some sites have stopped updating.
Not great customer support.
Bottom Line:
There was a special $9.95 discount available for a while from PU/TBP, which created a dilemma and even a crisis of conscience. Although I never thought I would subscribe to a site that had pre checked cross selling, I could either steal from them using free download forums, or steal from them legitimately at $9.95, and at that price it certainly is stealing.
I had subscribed to 21 Sextury before, but had not renewed after I had decided not to subscribe to sites using pre checked cross selling. For once I decided to bite the bullet and subscribe for one month, being very careful to cancel early, as renewals were $29.95, a more expensive rate than the usual PU/TBP discount. I must have downloaded about 80gb, and that was a small percentage of new updates since my last time there. I am happy to steal legitimately for this one time.
I have heard members complain of lack of customer support. I had one incident where I was locked out. I contacted customer support and received an automated reply. I was automatically given a new password because the other one was supposedly cracked and being used. This isn't the first site where this has happened. I am getting a lot of this nowadays.
The member pages did seem to slow my computer down a lot. Staying on site meant downloads were slower on IE, so to get higher speeds I left the site, after which download speeds went up. I found it virtually impossible to stream at any time of the day.
To give you an idea of their quality here are some of the picture sizes across the network : 3744x5616 1.5-3mb in size, 3456x5184 around 2mb in size, 3840x5760 2-3mb in size, 2832x4256 1-2mb in size. Videos are 1920x1080 and around 8160 kbps.
The type of model is usually young, white, and slim, with the focus on her for the most part, and there is thankfully not too much abuse, either physically or verbally. The video action starts almost straight away, with no build up or tease, and although you have that mass produced thing where ten photos all look the same, at least you have some glorious shots of the girls, and not too much close up gynaeclogical stuff.
I agree with the view that there are too many samey looking updates, with the same models doing the same thing, from the same angle, in the same lighting, but video and picture dimensions are of very high quality, and it all looks astonishingly professional. Even though there is a large amount of anal and lesbian, there are plenty of other types of vanilla material. One complaint is they seem to be using the same girls many times across the network, possibly just to bump up the number of updates.
For me they are the one network that not only mass produces quality porn that looks sensational, but also gets the balance right between sleaze, eroticism, innocence, and hardcore action. If you could go back four years and show one of these videos or picture sets to a porn fan, they would hardly believe it. You would think the network would charge around $50 for material of this quality. They aren't, so you have to put up with the mass produced look and other negatives. In my opinion they do it better than any other network.
If they didn't have pre checked cross selling I would be a member all the time, and would have little reason to join other sites or download for free. I shouldn't be saying this because I hate them. I hate them because they produce great stuff, but their cross selling means they are not to be trusted.
Another great review Ik. It's a steal at under ten bucks, which means this is the first site I have chosen to legally steal from. I made sure I cancelled well before the subscription renewed at full price. I would have been happy to continue and pay a reasonable price, and would have, except for their pre checked cross sell.
I must have downloaded about 60-80gb of material and that was only from about 2 sites. They have quite a few of the same models across their sites anyway so I comprehensibly downloaded from Anal Teen Angels and Pix And Video. An amazing amount of content at a steal.
It is a little confusing. Once you have joined 21 Sextury you can download or watch any scene available on the 21 Sextury sites. That doesn't include 21 Sextreme or 21 Naturals. However once your subscription is over, depending on how long you subscribed for, you will have built up credits which can be used to buy downloads.
Alternatively you can buy credits, which can be exchanged for downloads.
Yeah I agree. I didn't realise this until I was a member. I thought there must be some sort of catch, but there isn't. I am able to download for free a year after my membership expired. I would be renewing this year if not for their pre checked cross selling.
I joined this network over a year ago. It was my longest membership of any network or site, and I was intending to rejoin shortly, however I find they now have pre checked cross selling. I can't remember them doing this before, but it means I will no longer be a member.
On the plus side (I don't know if anyone here realises this) they run a points system where if you join for more than one month, you can earn enough points to download for free. This means that even after my membership was cancelled, I still had enough points to download six times for free, by simply logging in and using points to purchase downloads.
What Denner says. Pictures are generally very good. For some reason in some shoots there are very few of them. I don't know why this is. The number can vary from 100-200 down to 30-50. Mostly I consider the photos to be very good. You also get screenshots for most videos (numbers of which can also vary). I agree with Denner on there being too many gynaecological close ups, but there's enough quality on here to make it my favourite network. I am currently on my second month of membership and will be going for a third.
Very good review GC. I agree with your opinions. I joined myself about 4 weeks ago. Membership coming up for renewal and for once I'm going for the extra month.
On the left hand side of the video clip page, in a blue box, are the words "Buy it for lifetime," with the number of credits it costs. You do not have to click that. All you have to do is scroll down to the streaming and downloading sections for videos. For photos just click the "photos" tab at the top of the page.
Above the blue box in green are the words "This scene is available with your subscription."
