| Updated: |
02-21-11 09:20pm (Update History)
Reason: Encountered a significant negative: download keys expire quickly, so no download managers
|
| Pros: |
+ Large amount of content
+ Some very hot girls
+ Decent set of options for videos. All scenes are streamable (Flash) and downloadable ( multiple formats)
+ New videos are in HD, a key area where a lot of the "reality"-type, episodic sites are beating most of the more studio-based sites. the 720p versions look great on my HDTV.
+ Zip downloads for photos (when they work, which is rare)
+ Current price of $9.99/mo is hard to beat |
| Cons: |
- Not friendly to download managers - I am only able to queue about 5 scenes before they start failing with expired key notices. For some reason this is even worse with photo zips (seems like the keys expire very quickly)
- Inconsistent and sometimes laughably low download speeds. I am currently downloading at about 24KB/s
- Server seems to stop responding an awful lot, but usually just waiting a few seconds and reloading will get it going again.
- Zip files often fail to download. More often than not, I get a sorry.txt file instead saying "wrong security key"
- Navigation is pretty bad, particularly for images. No links back to the scene itself, links to the zip files are only present on individual images, so if (like me) you are only looking for zips, not viewing individual images on-site, it might take a while to figure out the zips are even available. |
| Bottom Line: |
There is some good content on here, and with newer scenes in HD, I think the future looks promising. Some navigation improvements would help, but the existing ability to browse by DVD, scene, model, tags, and categories keep this from being more than a minor gripe. The connection problems are extremely frustrating, but the low price keeps that from being a deal breaker (if only barely). At the current price, I can definitely recommend this site. When/if the price ever goes back up, some improvements might be necessary to justify it. One minor gripe that i didn't feel like was worth making a "con" of - i wish these sites with single scene downloads would include the model's name in the filename! It is very rare that I think "I am in the mood for scene 3 from '8 Simple Rules 3'" - no, I think "I want to see Mindy Lynn, what scenes do i have?" but... maybe this is just me. Not worth a con, just sayin'. Save me some time: put more data in the filename! Bottom line: recommended, especially at this price. Not without flaws, but i intend to keep my membership active.
EDIT: I don't know if this is new or I just didn't encounter it before, but the inability to queue downloads in a download manager is a major con in my book. Now i have to go back and find all of those scenes again or just forget about it. Frankly i think docking 5 points is the very least I can do. |

In my experience the videos are exclusive. I have been a member of this site and Seventeen Video, and have not found any overlap. Eventually most of these scenes end up released on one of the numbered My Sexy Kittens DVD volumes. And much of the Seventeen stuff ends up released on one of that label's many DVD titles (Sporty Teens, etc). They do seem to be related, but they don't seem to be releasing content in both places.
To the original reviewer: Do the pics have Zips available yet? Before I could not find a good way to download the pics at all. Also, did you have any issues with download speed/reliability? Just wondering if they have improved in that department. I seem to remember this was not a problem before, but the last few times I have checked for improvements it has been worse and worse.

| Pros: |
+ Some great content, especially older scenes
+ Newer scenes are pretty decent resolution (don't have any on hand to see exactly what it is, can't currently download to check - see cons) |
| Cons: |
- IMPOSSIBLE to browse. The site only allows one connection, and I can only browse for a few minutes before being locked out. If I open too many photos in a row, for example, pages stop loading until some time has passed.
- Older scenes no longer have full scene downloads. WTF? Why take a step backward on this, esp when most of you content is all over the web (illegally of course) for free???
- No zip files for pics, pics stored/named bizarrely so you can't even get them with a download tool
- When you do manage to get a download started, the speed is pretty terrible |
| Bottom Line: |
I've left and rejoined this site many times since its launch, and it just gets worse and worse. It's really a shame, because some of the content is amazing. But it seems like they do everything they can to keep me from getting to it. I've been trying to download ONE SCENE for weeks now, but I keep making the mistake of checking out a few updates first, which gets me promptly blocked. I don't see how a site like this can stay in business. As I stated earlier, much of their content is freely available - I prefer to pay for my content, but it almost seems like they'd rather I find it elsewhere.
If they ever decide to make it easy for members to get the content they paid for, I'll re-review. For now, canceling my subscription. |

For the record, I do not have this issue at all. Maybe they've improved, maybe you got unlucky when you tried. But just so other folks know; I just downloaded a 2.77GB scene in roughly 2 minutes, speed hovered right around 10–12MB/s for most of that. And in general, I've had really fast downloads since rejoining a month or so ago.

|
| Pros: |
+ A huge amount of content, all exclusive to New Sensations / Digital Sin
+ Quality on newer videos is excellent
+ Many improvements over the years |
| Cons: |
Only minor negatives:
- Search is not great
- Video formats are confusing and weird
- No 4k content |
| Bottom Line: |
I've been a member off and on over the years, and written both good and bad reviews. I have to say, there have been many improvements and this site is top notch.
Search doesn't always work well; sometimes I'll search for a model, get only one scene as a result, then click through to that scene, click on her name, and then see a list of scenes. Not sure what's up with that but makes me wonder if I'm missing out on content from my favorite models.
There's some weirdness with video formats. Newer scenes are available as MP4 only (which is perfect as far as I'm concerned), in 720p or 1080p, each of which has further options for bitrate. Seems a little like overkill, but I won't complain about too many options. Where it starts to get weird is on older scenes. Many are available in multiple resolutions, multiple bitrates, and multiple formats (MP4, FLV). Since they aren't very consistent, sometimes you just have to download a few and pick the best one. Also, older content that has 1080p downloads appears to just be upsampled from lower resolutions. Slightly blurry, with a tiny bit of discoloration around edges. Occasionally I will find a better quality version of the same scene on a different site like Videosz or Videobox. Seems to me like this site should have the canonical best version of their own content.
I would love to see some 4k content. Other sites are starting to do this, and I feel like this studio would be perfect for it. I didn't let this affect my score, as not many sites have 4k yet.
Bottom line: the site has drastically improved in the past year or so; I've even noticed improvements in the past couple months. Content quality is great, but like most sites, once you go back to older scenes it gets kind of hit or miss. Navigation is MUCH better than it used to be, but search could still use some tweaking. Can't wait to see them upgrade to 4k. All in all, a great site that's getting better. |

| Pros: |
+ Quality video (would love HD options but not bad)
+ Thorough: newer content has videos, stills, and screens, all downloadable
+ Newer scenes downloadable as WMV or QT
+ File name includes movie title |
| Cons: |
- RECYCLED CONTENT
- No really good central spot for finding updates
- Older scenes have no full-scene DL
- Older scenes difficult to download even clips from
- Somewhat repetitive content |
| Bottom Line: |
I have been a member off and on for a couple years now. I reviewed them very favorably before despite a few annoying flaws. But my most recent trip back there has been seriously disappointing. Most "new" content is recycled. Not from other networks, but from these network sites. I already have most of this content, because I downloaded it last year. I hope they start producing new content again, but until then I won't be going back. |

Yeah, it would be nice if they identified what DVD the scenes are from. Again, I didn't even consider this in my review because I don't really care about the DVDs - as far as I'm concerned they might as well distribute their content entirely online (though they'd probably want to boost the quality a little)! In fact, I wish other studios would do this - Digital Playground, for example. They do not allow downloading at all, only streaming. I joined their site once, dumped it immediately, and have never gone back. But that's a different review :)

I had noticed that, and as someone who doesn't often buy DVD's, this is just fine by me. I guess I didn't think of it as non-exclusive, since it is exclusive to the company (New Sensations). It's still not content you're going to get on any other site. But I guess if you do buy their DVD's, then yes, this site is redundant. Thanks for pointing out the omission.

| Pros: |
+ A decent amount of EXCELLENT content
+ Downloadable scenes
+ Newer scenes are very good quality
+ Downloadable image sets (both stills and screenshots)
+ Some absolutely amazing girls
+ File naming recently updated to include movie title! |
| Cons: |
- No really good central spot for finding updates
- Older scenes have no full-scene DL
- Older scenes difficult to download even clips from
- Somewhat repetitive content
- WMV only |
| Bottom Line: |
This is an excellent network. The few flaws are just really not that bad, in my opinion. Take the schoolgirl stuff for example. Yes, it's tired, and yes the scenes all go pretty much exactly the same. But it's sort of tried-and-true, and when someone like Dani Cole comes along and does a schoolgirl scene... I'm all over it. Or Renna Ryan. I have almost every scene she has released, and her scene from Naughty College School Girls (released on Jizzbomb) is HOT.
It can be easy to miss scenes if you don't know how to really dig. If you go to the New Sensations home, you'll see updates from the whole network. But only three, so if you don't check for a few days, you're likely to miss something. And if you use the model dropdown on that site to search for a model, you get results from across sites. But not ALL sites. So it's very easy to get confused, and to miss content. Also, some models appear more than once under different names. My advice: if you have a girl you're looking for, find out what her aliases are and look for them too. On every single site.
That being said, quite a few of the sites are crap. Just old, non-exclusive content that's hardly ever updated. I didn't include this in the cons because really, they give you plenty of good content to make up for it. The other sites are essentially bonus content that i don't like. No big deal.
A note about video quality: For newer videos, it's fantastic. It shows on my system as 888x480. For some reason the picture is slightly stretched horizontally on my system (Mac, using either MPlayer, VLC, or QuickTime the result is the same) but if your player allows you to force 16:9 it's perfect. This may only be on a Mac, have not tested in Windows. Unfortunately, the only file format option is WMV. While this is not a deal-breaker, it's highly irritating that so many content providers opt for the proprietary format designed for Windows. There are just so many platform-neutral formats, I don't get it. So if you have Mac, you'll need to download some third-party components, and it's still kinda crappy. But oh well.
For older videos the quality gets lower. And you don't get that full download link. In order to download you actually have to open a popup for each clip, which prompts you for a password (which as far as I can tell only works in Windows), wherein you will find a streaming video (if you're running Windows) and a link to download that clip. I have been banned from the site a few times for failing at this password prompt a few times in a row so if you're on a Mac, you may find the older videos to be a pain. Again, this would be easily remedied but like many adult sites, this one is clearly designed for Windows. Newer videos do not have the download issue.
In conclusion: This is an awesome network and highly recommended. It's not without its flaws, but i am perfectly happy to accept those flaws and keep renewing my registration. |

Damn! I was literally just checking reviews for this network because I really wanted to go grab a few specific older videos I don't have. Was hoping to see some evidence that I wouldn't regret that but it sounds like they haven't changed a bit. The exact same thing happened to me (on this network somewhere - don't remember which site, and at Reality Kings, and at Bang.com). I don't understand how they're still getting away with this shit.
SUCH a shame to produce such good content but bury it in various schemes to rip off the people who pay for it.
Thanks for the warning, saved me some money!

I would just like to add that SegPay should NOT be trusted. They "upgraded" me to the Platinum account when my $17.95 sub renewed. They issued a refund, but they blamed it on me, even though I didn't even realize the sub was active and had not been to the site in at least a week. They also seem to just suck at their job; for example my Platinum upgrade was listed as "FantasyHD" in the confirmation email, and the charge/sub did not show up at all using their search tool. It's *almost* like they just hoped I would never notice. Almost exactly like that.

| Pros: |
* Great video quality
* Many of the models are incredibly hot
* 4k content is some of the better quality 4k I've seen |
| Cons: |
* Confusing/misleading marketing. Different spots cite different numbers of sites included; no reliable list anywhere
* Most subscription options have become upsell vehicles for the $69.95 "Platinum" upgrade
* When my $17.95 PornProsNetwork subscription renewed, they went ahead and charged me for the "Platinum" upgrade. THIS IS KNOWN AS FRAUD.
* Site navigation is terrible: sometimes shows locks on content you actually have access to, and vice-versa. Easy to visit the wrong site and suddenly NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO ANYTHING.
* At this time, with an ACTIVE subscription, the site says "Reactivate Membership" and I have "4 previews remaining"
* Site is basically a joke at this point. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is going to be a very harsh review. A very well deserved harsh review.
This site has basically become garbage, borderline scammy, and possibly fraudulent. I don't know their relationship with SegPay so maybe the fraud part is on SegPay.
More about that: when my $17.95 subscription renewed (incidentally only because I'd forgotten to cancel; it's arguably not even worth $17.95 at this point), it also charged me for the "Platinum" susbcription. Their support rep stated that thi was probably because I had clicked one of the huge upsell ads, which apparently will not ask for confirmation? The problem with that theory is that I hadn't even been to the site in days, maybe weeks, because I didn't realize I was still subscribed. So, there seem to be three possibilities: 1. someone got into my account and upgraded it on the exact day that my subscription was renewed, 2. Segpay fraudulently charged me for something I didn't want, 3. Segpay charged me in error due to some defect in their payment system. So basically either PornPros' security sucks, Segpay is engaging in fraud, or Segpay can't handle the one function they provide.
Given the combination of all these things, it seems to me like at this point, PornPros is trying to be as scammy as possible without actually breaking any laws (aside from maybe some minor false advertisement), and Segpay just doesn't really have that limitation.
Also worth noting: I reached out to their customer support to ask exactly what sites are included with membership. Never got a response, and when I tried to follow a link to my "ticket" it was just a page saying "PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU CANCEL" followed by a lengthy screed warning that they've "seen an increase" in "fraud" where paying customers deny ever subscribing, and that this is "a felony punishable by jail time". So basically accusing you of fraud if you want to cancel, while simultaneously defrauding customers in precisely a way that would lead them to this page. It's really quite... something.
Then a link to SegPay, and no sign of a support ticket anywhere.
Regarding quality: video quality, strictly speaking, is fantastic. Their 4k content is some of the highest quality in the adult market, at least that I've seen. Lighting tends to be nice and bright, there's usually a variety of angles etc (obviously not for POV sites etc but generally speaking). Within each site, the episodes tend to be EXACTLY the same, and often pretty boring in terms of just being a procession of cuts between positions and angles. This is a minor annoyance that's made up for by the quality.
As I wrote this review, I mysteriously lost access to any content. It says my subscription is expired: this is false. This site is utter garbage and really needs to just go bankrupt and get it over with.
All of the shadiness is a true shame because some of the content is very, very good. If they would back off trying to just rip everyone off, and start focusing on making money by making great content (and a site that actually works), they could totally do so. The content is already there. It's just that they'd apparently rather you get it somewhere else. |

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
+ Some great content and hot girls
+ Full video downloads with no DRM
+ Downloadable image sets
+ Decent navigation, fully searchable etc
+ User ratings for episodes and girls |
| Cons: |
- Lots of ridiculous fake porn
- Sleep Creep
- Obnoxious ads on member pages |
| Bottom Line: |
A good site with a few flaws, no deal-breakers in my opinion.
Some of the content itself is awesome - there are a few really great episodes here and there. Of course, you have two options for finding it: either go one by one to each site looking for updates, or go to the main Porn Pros site and wade through a mess of garbage to find the good stuff. What do I define as garbage? Well I don't think it's very sexy to see a guy bust into a scene out of nowhere sporting an enormous rubber dong and spray fake jizz all over an "unsuspecting" girl's face. That's not hot, that's retarded. Maybe once, I'll have a good laugh and move on. But as a theme for a whole site? MULTIPLE SITES? Really??? Obviously this is just my opinion, since the episodes have similar ratings to the other sites. Equally not hot is watching girls get molested in their sleep. It's kind of creepy (yeah I know, it's supposed to be, hence "Sleep Creep") and it's also dumb. Seriously, if you bang a girl in her sleep and she doesn't wake up... she's drugged. That's called r@pe. AKA NOT FUCKING HOT. I don't find it offensive because it's just too dumb to take seriously. Still, I don't want to see it, and I don't want to pay for it. This severely reduces my score for this network.
That issue could be at least partially resolved by letting me filter out sites I DO NOT want to see in the main content listing. That would be pretty cool. But again, this is not a deal-breaker, I just get sick of seeing it. And they keep introducing new versions of this stupid crap. So apparently someone out there likes it.
As for the ads, easily resolved by using AdBlock Plus. Sorry guys, if you insist on showing me ads *in addition* to charging me money, at least make them reasonable. Not animated crap that follows you when you scroll. But again, easily remedied on the user side.
A note about the user ratings: It's a 5- or 10-star system, can't remember now. But you can rate individual episodes and you can also rate the girl. This is nice, because (for what it's worth) you can give a girl 10 stars and give her CavemanSleepR@peWithRidiculousFakeCock episode 1 star.
Damn. Cavemen might actually be funny. |

| Pros: |
+ Large selection of Japanese adult video titles. |
| Cons: |
- Titles are expensive compared to sites with monthly subscriptions (about $10 per title).
- Subscription services are per "channel" (studio). A single channel costs $20-30.
- Downloads are DRM-encumbered WMV files. No. Just no.
- Mac users need a special player for just this site (LOL). |
| Bottom Line: |
If you don't mind having to use a specific player that totally sucks and as of this review isn't even working, and you don't mind having your right to view content that you paid for "managed" by a site which may or may not even stay in business (leaving you unable to watch ever again even though you have it and paid for it), and you are a fan of JAV (all titles here are censored with a digital mosaic BTW), and you don't mind the price, you will probably like the large variety of titles. Personally, I bought one title from this site and will never, ever do it again. Check out JAVModel instead. It's cheaper (monthly subscription, not per title or "channel") and DRM-free.
Note that in my review I state that I'm a current member. I do not have a monthly subscription to any channel, but you must have a user account in order to authenticate and watch the downloaded videos. Since the player isn't even working now, and I'm not putting more time and energy into trying to get DRM'd videos working, I will probably just delete the videos I bought and cancel my account. Lame. |

I had a chat session with RK support and they told me there is a 10gb per day download limit, and download managers are prohibited. The 10gb limit is also in their Terms of Use page. Maybe this is new since you left your comment, but I just wanted to clarify this.

Just a clarification (of sorts): I am seeing mixed information about whether or not download managers are *allowed*, not just effective. I received word from RK support that download managers are NOT ALLOWED and can result in a ban. It's certainly possible that this info is incorrect, but i just wanted to update that this is the word directly from RK. They really don't want you to have their content, it seems.

| Pros: |
+ Excellent content, some of the best in the industry
+ Excellent video quality
+ A ton of content, very diverse
+ Easy to navigate
+ Seriously, some of the performers are outrageously hot
+ Recently launched a beta redesign that is much better |
| Cons: |
- Download limit of 10GB per day. Not a huge deal but considering they refer to their trial membership as "limited", I would expect the full membership to not be.
- Slow downloads. I'm currently downloading one video from RK, and one from PornPros. PP is averaging close to 3Mb/sec. RK is averaging around 400kb/sec. That's just ridiculous.
- Download managers are not allowed. Authentication times out (even with the "remember me" box checked) so if you try to queue up more than one download, usually only the first one will complete, the rest will fail with an authentication error. For me this is a dealbreaker. Especially with such slow downloads. When I visit the site, I usually want to download a few videos. To do that, the expectation seems to be that I will sit around and download them one by one, even though they each sometimes take an hour. Nope.
- Roadblock ad: every time I log in, I have to decline an offer to get to the pain page |
| Bottom Line: |
I really, really want to love this site. The amount, quality, and diversity of the content is hard to overstate. Based on content quality alone, this should be a top site. Unfortunately it is heavily encumbered by restrictive policies and slow downloads. I have been a member off and on for a couple of years, and I have finally gotten fed up enough to just cancel and be done with it. It's frustrating to see content that's so good, but so hard to get. They did just launch a redesign, which is currently in beta. I really, really hope this is part of a larger overhaul that sees the site come into line with some of its competitors. |
