This looks like a good bunch of sites, especially with the discount available through TBP. I have always liked John Stagliano (Buttman). It's sad that he caught HIV but I guess that's one of the dangers of the industry. Jay Sin is great too. I love his milk enema stuff.
Excellent and informative reply. This is one place I will join. The problem with the industry is scummy behaviour like pre checked cross selling and automatically charging your credit card if you press the wrong link, tarnishes everyone. Here is a very good explanation of why things turned out the way they did, which is just like life. Things don't always go the way you planned, which applies to life, love, industry, anything really.
Thanks for the info Pat. So it sounds as though this is not under new management after all? Rarely do I stay with a site for more than a month or two, and have never signed up for anything longer than a month originally. The material looks good even though it is old, and they don't seem to use scummy pre checked cross selling. Be interesting to hear if this is a standalone or whether it comes with the rest of the network.
According to Duke, this site does not come with bonus access to the No Rest Network sites, but according to the preview home page it does. Either way, it's good to see the No Rest Network out of hibernation even though it is under new management.
Another top notch informative review. This is a site I wasn't aware of and would certainly have igonored because I would have assumed mosaic censorship.
Great review as usual, admiral. I have never joined this network but one of the cons, for some of us, would be the use of condoms on many of their clips.
You're welcome, I was very impressed. Reading back the review, I put too much emphasis on the negatives, as it is my favourite network. I was a member for four months, which is the longest ever membership for me. Usually it's one month, or occasionally two.
One pro I forgot to mention (after taking over three months to do the review) is the streaming goes automatically into the next segment rather than stopping at the end. I liked that, as you could basically start at any part of the video and watch to the end.
Cheers Wittyguy. Like you, I have been busy and not able to spend a lot of time here lately. At least it stops me becoming jaded. This review has been in my files for the last three months, or at least the notes have. It takes hours to put it all together. Like many of the regulars here, I take pride in doing as good a job as possible.
Being named manager of the English Football Team, and outed as PU contributor, especially with my tastes, would give the tabloids a field day. I am going to have to work on my tax evasion first to stand a chance. At least we have an excuse for losing to the Lithuanians, in advance.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Plenty of young attractive girls, professionally filmed and photographed. The videos are well shot, and well lit, which mostly makes the girls look sensational.
The look on the girls' faces. Hard to explain, but for me it's the perfect balance of innocence, professionalism, and eroticism. For an attempted explanantion see "Bottom Line."
No DRM or DL limits.
The negatives aren't as negative.
Access to 21 Sextury network.
$10 discount using link from TBP/PU.
Exclusive content with a variety of download, streaming and photo options.
Cons:
Considering softcore is catered for on this network, it's a big disappointment that the photos here don't have enough strip to nude, where you get the chance to appreciate the girl on her own, before the hardcore starts. Occasionally fewer photos than expected.
Clinically professional at times.
Some girls are already old timers, have appeared many times on other sites, and appear many times across the network.
All shaven.
At times I found download speeds sluggish, with navigation clumsy, awkward and slow to respond.
The look is homogeneous due to mass production.
Too many tats, and fake breasts, and too many thin girls who look the same.
The home page is rather annoying and awkward. You do have options, but finding out how to navigate is a little difficult. When you put your mouse over the picture of the model to find out who she is and what the scene is, a series of flashing pictures kicks in, semi obscuring the information you are looking for. Irritating.
Bottom Line:
This for me is the flagship of 21 Sextury. Membership gives access to the entire network, which I could have reviewed, but I spent more time here than any other site. Technically I can't find fault. Here are some of the specs.
Pic resolution and what defines normal or high resolution does vary, but comes as high as 5616x3744, with normal resolution 1280x853. There is also 3888x2592, 4992x3328, and 3000x2000. Screenshots are generally 1280x720.
Downloads come in low, medium, and ultra high H264, and medium, high, and ultra high wmv(960x540 1611kbps, 960x540 3122 kbps). Top new download resolution is 1920x1080 with 8158 kbps, although there are quite a few still at 1280x720 with 3122 kbps. Apologies for being too spec heavy. It does vary, but the quality is usually excellent.
Streaming is at low, medium, and high quality H264.
The models generally look well made up and glossy, bordering on the old glamour mag style, but often have a girl next door rather than porn model look. It's what the girl next door would look like given a paint gloss, some polyfiller, and put under studio lights.
There is some ethnic diversity but most are thin, white, and young. For me, there are too many tats and fake breasts, although not as many as the worst American networks.
However the girls are generally young, beautiful, and have a girl next door innocence, even though the overall look is glossy.
For me, there are not enough new models. One small criticism of 21 Sextury as a whole is they shoot the same model too many times.
Some of the photos go straight from topless into fully nude, or nude oral sex. There is little build up or a teasing strip. Sometimes you get five or ten photos that look exactly the same. It's an awful waste of attractive models. Out of 100 photos for instance, there can be 50 that all look very much the same, or 30 clothed, 30 topless, one or two nude, then fully nude oral sex. There is very little in the way of stripping and a gradual build up to the action.
Having said all that, the photos are highly professional, beautifully lit and beautifully set up. For me the greatest plus for the whole site is something I can hardly explain. It's the look on the girls' faces. This may be entirely subjective, and may or may not turn you on. The only way I can describe it is to say the photographer captures a complete look of innocence, and enjoyment, while at the same time mass producing professional material, from a professional model who is having anal sex. The model looks innocent and enjoying it enough for it not to look as though she is being exploited.
I don't care if they get it right purely by chance, and if they hate or have contempt for their customers. As long as customer service is okay, all I care about is they produce great looking porn - and they do. I haven't had to deal with customer service, which is both good and bad. It's good that I haven't had to contact them, but I can't vouch for how good they are.
Obviously there is a concentration on anal here, but there is vaginal, lesbian, and toys on other sites in the network.
I could have done with more shapes, sizes, and ethnic diversity. Mainly the sex here is one on one only. I like to see group sex but there is little here, and little across the 21 Sextury network.
The negatives aren't as negative as most sites. Yes, there is not enough ethnic or size diversity, but there are still a few girls who go against this mould. Yes, there are some scenes where they choke or slap the girls, but they are not very common. Some have tats and fake breasts, but not too many. Yes, there are too many closeups and gynaecological shots, but there is also plenty of material showing the full girl in all her beauty. Admittedly, at times the professionalism is clinical and produces samey material, but it looks great, and in my opinion is better than their competitors.
I have not seen any other site get it this right. Mass produced porn and innocence, without guilt, or exploitation? An absence of sleaze. Fun porn for the masses, without a lot of the things we hate here at PU.
Despite the faults, for me this is the best network, best teen site, and best anal site (the also excellent Asshole Fever is available on the network). I give it 90 as I consider it to be best in class. That equals the highest mark I have given.
Yeah you're right it does. I'm going to have to keep my eye on this one. As always my strategy will be wait until one of the big names has reviewed it before I take any chances with my money.
Thanks for the tip off though. There are tons of those low profile sites out there. Some of them can be little gems. Others, like this one, can be a total waste of money. Definitely one to avoid.
Great review. I don't like the sound of the negatives. They should label the real ass smoothies from the interview ones. A real waste of time and effort.
I agree that when they actually do the smoothie, the video is great.
In my opinion an extremely accurate review of the site. I agree with all your points. There are so many negatives for this organisation. It's not that it's a bad site, it's just they could do so much better. Given the girls, they should be scoring 10 points higher, if they were more customer oriented.
I think lousy customer service and lousy content are of equal importance, as far as I'm concerned, in establishing which sites to avoid. Some people would go for the content as the most important thing, but if you get lousy service or feel you've been ripped off in any way, what should be a fun way to spend money, turns out to be a bloody nuisance and waste of time. I avoid any site or organisation that has terrible customer service. This organisation is now one of them.
Thanks Graymane, it's reciprocated. Your contributions are always entertaining, as well as informative.
I guess like most of us, I look in but don't contribute as much nowadays, unless there's something I just have to get off my chest. There's not enough time at the moment to post here, or view porn, but at least I don't get jaded as some do.
Been a porn fan since I was 8, so I suppose I'm never going off it, but I could do with some more customer oriented networks. There's only a limited influence PU can have, and currently the mainstream market is very homogeneous, for a number of reasons. All we can do is register our opinion.
Happily today is a day and night off, so I can spend some time putting together a review.
Thanks for the entertaining review Gray one. You happened to pick out a couple of big irritants as far as I'm concerned. First of all the ever present genitalia closeups. Then there's the constant moving about. You get to the point where they finally show the whole girl in all her glory, then they have to change her position and it's back to the closeups.
The cameraman goes to sleep on the closeups, but the minute they finally focus on the whole body they have to move. You just cannot get to experience the glory of the whole body. It's like they do it deliberately just to piss off porn viewers. "Ner ner ner, you paid for this, but you're not going to see anything stimulating, oh no, we can do this all the time to the end of the video you know." And they do.
Wow - now that's what I call service! Thanks for the offer Claypaws, but I am unusual in that I have no favourite models. My favourite types are ones I haven't seen before.
The info you have provided me with is just what I was looking for. I have been thinking about ATK for quite a while. Looks like they should be towards the top end of my list.
Thank you, and I hope you keep with us, here on PU.
Net Video Girls wastes a lot of talent. Most of the time it looks like a chimpanzee is holding the camera, capturing random shots of anything that wanders in and out of view. However, I don't remember it being part of the deal before.
It looks different to the last time I was there, which was last year. I don't remember that many ads on the home page either. There's also bonus membership to Net Video Girls.
Another excellent review. I'm a member there currently and I agree about ECG and BCC being two of the best sites around, especially if you're into the casting niche, which I am.
One of the biggest downsides of this type of niche is having your one chance of seeing a porn video and photo set of a beautiful non professional girl wasted because of ineptitude. Occasionally you see what could be an amazing porn experience being completely ruined. It's a hard job, and I couldn't do it, but I wish some of them occasionally did it better. Having said all that, I think these two sites get the balance right most of the time.
If you want to compare the difference between Epoch and the rip off charges at CCBill here's an illuminating experience. Tonight I received a special offer from Backroom Casting Couch as a previous member for $19.99. I followed the link and decided to join. The $19.99 worked out at £14.88 using CCBill's extortionate currency conversion system, but hey, I was getting a good bargain so I went ahead. Transaction denied, and a link to join through Epoch. Strange. The Epoch join page came up for £12.82. This time the deal went through.
I looked at a mail from CCBill that said my bank had denied the transaction. However the Epoch membership went through at just over two pounds cheaper. That's a whopping great 13% difference in conversion between CCBill and Epoch. Looks like my bank did me a favour and prevented me from being ripped off. Quite accidentally of course, not sure wtf they stopped the first transaction, but it certainly gives you an idea of the difference in value between Epoch and CCBill.
