I know the question is hypothetical, but I believe I don't watch any porn that is downright worth to be banned in reality. However, if it did become illegal I'd say I would probably keep the stuff I have but not download anymore in risk of getting caught. Therefore, I guess I'd be a 'criminal'. But, like all hypothetical questions, who knows what I'd REALLY do in any situation. It's easy to say what you think you would do but plenty of times in these situations I said a certain thing but when the actual situation arised I actually did something else.
This site has about 12 videos which are small clips and about double of that in photos with outdated quality. The site is not updating and has not in awhile. Do not waste your money.
Yeah I would say the whole network, this is solely based on using the information from TBP stats. Since the stats at TBP state that there are more videos than what I downloaded upon joining, I am assuming that they are revolving old content as new. However, this is all assumption. But, I can tell you that upon joining that the content was much lower than what each of TBP says there should be. And yes, the quality for all the sites is pretty bad. There are a few sites within the network (I think 3 or 4) that offered 640 X 480 videos with an average bitrate but this is not the majority. I stated in the original comment how many each site within the network averaged within photo sets and videos.
As far as the network goes, it just lists all the sites on the same page then links you to each site logged in already. Hope this helps clarify things.
Just accessed the site and all content videos can be downloaded within 20 minutes (in a download queue). Videos are still sometimes in clips, some can only be streamed, and the quality is still stuck pre 2007.
Pictures still cannot be downloaded via zip and they are at a low res with poor quality.
While there are quite a few sites (11 with each being an individual model's site), I would not be surprised if the content is recycled. I'd say each site has an average of 12 videos (some may be less or a bit more, but never very high) and picture galleries in the 20's (same as videos, some higher and some lower). In my opinion, avoid this site at this price. If you can find it for maybe $14.95 or under, maybe for a one month stay.
These are North American TS models. This company, Grooby, has a site specializing in ladyboys called Ladyboy Ladyboy. However, I have not joined this site yet. Hope this helps.
Honestly pat362, if there is even one video like this, I missed it. So, that basically means there is little to none of that on this site. Basically, maybe less than 5. This site, while featuring hardcore, is mostly a solo site. When there is a hardcore update, it it usually male/TS content or TS/TS content. The TS on female content is kind of hard to find. It's basically on most TS sites featuring hardcore but in the extreme minority. And out of the sites I've been to that features hardcore, I can't even point you in the direction. However, I do remember some DVD's which I think were called, "females on shemales" which featured this, I think they were up in to dozens about a year ago. I know a site, Shemale Club has quite a bit of hardcore footage, maybe a quick email to customer service could help you out. It's been quite awhile since I've been to that site and my archives of that site are actually somewhere on burned DVD's. Hope any of this helps.
lol about the webmaster response. But, I suppose some response is better than none. No matter how stubborn he may be, as you said I believe I was quite fair and I took all the discussions between him and I into account when writing this. Hell, it's even better than the new 2.0 review from TBP. I believe between your review and mine, everyone can get an understanding as to what they get from the site. Thanks for the response and positive feedback, james4096!
Right on, if you have any questions let me know as usual. But yeah, I would avoid this site. The models are very tempting but I would not take the plunge. Maybe at $14.95 or even MAYBE $19.95 I would say mehhhh....maybe. But, at this current price, no way man.

Pros:
- Exclusive Content of mostly North American tranny content involved in posing, masturbation, and hardcore action.
- No DRM protection.
- Updates weekly with 7 new photosets and/or video shoots. These updates occur on one day.
- Photo shoots available in zip format and range in res, from 1280 to 720 or lower.
- Videos range in formats by years with the newest vids only available in WMV. Newest vids are around 720 X 480, ~2000 kbps. Older ones steadily go down in quality ranging from 640 X 480, ~2000 kbps to 360 X 240, ~800 kbps. The older videos range from AVI, Real Media, and WMV formats.
- Extensive amount of content dating back from even 1999, but the majority of the content occurs from 2003 to present.
- A nice ranking system to view favorites of others and yourself. Plus a 'My Portfolio' section to add models you love for easy access.
- Pretty active forum for discussion.
- Comics section that gets updated often.
- Search feature with accurate tags and plenty of them.
Cons:
- Obviously, since the library is extensive, the actual visual quality of the older content may be lower. What's in the footage is still good, but not the clarity.
- While the photography is done extremely well with quality photographers, the actual resolution should be higher for a company doing this for this long.
- Updates are done a bit different than other sites, varying between strip teases, masturbation, masturbation with a cum shot, and hardcore action. The only quirk I have personally is the fact that not all solo shoots end in a cum shot or an attempt (obviously some models cannot cum due to hormones). Usually, when a solo scene in shemale content is done, it is a full strip to masturbation with cumshot shoot. Just takes a bit of getting used to.
- The price is a bit high for the content, at $35 for it. However, there is a ticket system that can be used to lower prices for all grooby sites. The info is posted by me in the comments section of this site.
Bottom Line:
Shemale Yum has been around for years and clearly prides themselves for shooting an extensive amount of shemale content and models. Boasting over 1,100 models with mostly all of these models doing photo and video shoots, the site has an extremely large collection of content. The site features many models first that have gone on to become the huge superstars of tomorrow but also shoot amateurs or just models who want to do one or two shoots only. All-in-all, expect some of the largest amount of shemale content if you join.
Remember, the vast amount of content does come with a bit of a loss. Meaning, both the picture and video clarity will be going down year by year. Plus, the videos will only be available in clips at about anything pre-2006 which is a lot of content. However, the content within the videos are quite well done. While being a bit unconventional in updating in my opinion, it does create a range of different visuals to observe. The visuals will vary between shoots usually and are mostly well done in terms of professionlism. Overall, the videos are done well but my largest quirk is chitter chatter between the camera man and the model, sexual acts done between the camera man and the model, and a lack of total cumshots per model. Don't get me wrong, most of the models do cum eventually in updates, but having 4-5 different shoots with only one shoot resulting in a cumshot can be a burden for some.
The photography is very well done in terms of lighting, differences of outfits, and locations. While they could be a bit bigger this day and age, I think some photographers are better than others while some of their staff are better videographers. The watermark is done well and non-intrusive while the poses vary from one picture to the other quite well. Overall, they are not extremely repetitious and look quite well.
The structure of the site is well made with plenty of options to help the overall experience. Navigation is easy and there are a bunch of extras to read. Models have some descriptions and updates on what they are doing nowadays, there are blogs, and an active forum. In addition to the forum, there is a live chat program for communication between the photographers and members. Plus, I'd say customer service for grooby is great.
The site is obviously doing more things right than wrong. But, I cannot give a score in the 90's for a few reasons. First, the update scheme. While others may not mind this, I found a large portion of the videos to be downloaded but fast forwarded through. Second, the chitter chatter in older videos. Third, the picture res should get higher. Fourth, why are the videos not at 1280 X 720 or higher yet? However, there are great things within this site. I love that the site does bring back older models and you can see the transition in to beauty. With the extensive amount of content in both the photos and videos added with a huge model list only seen on this site, I'd recommend this site to everyone.

Pros:
- Exclusive content of a petite and true Thai model in softcore and hardcore content.
- Updates about once a week with a photo set and a video. Can be erratic though.
- No DRM protection.
- TBP states a download limit, but I did not make it there anyways with the content provided.
- Site design is easy enough on the eyes and navigation is extremely easy to find the content.
- All photo sets are at 1200 X 800 resolution.
- Videos available in 3 formats of WMV (High: 720 X 480, 2032 kbps; Medium: 480 X 320, 702 kbps; and Low: 264 X 176, 131 kbps). Also available in the same three sizes for Real Audio and Mac format.
- Average sized profile page with some interesting facts. It's not spectacular but provides enough.
- Three other bonus sites which includes three other individual Thai models' pages.
- A few games and wallpapers are provided, about two or three.
Cons:
- Updates confuse me, there are reviews in 2007 for this site but the last update available for members are 08/26/2008 for videos and 09/11/2008 for photos. Where are the updates before this? Are they recycling content?
- Not a lot of content at all, at 32 videos and 64 photo sets at the time of this review.
- No zip format available for photo sets.
- Photo resolution is really bad in this day and age and the watermark is somewhat intrusive.
- Some of the photos of the hardcore action are only video stills and not proper photographed pictures.
- Content can basically be downloaded in one day which makes the price extremely high in my opinion, even with the three other bonus sites available.
Bottom Line:
Thainee is a site I wanted to join for awhile because it is an exclusive solo site for an individual Thai model which are hard to find. Plus, the addition of the three other sites which are LuLu Sex Bomb, Tailynn, and Tussinee made the site quite prospective. However, after joining this excitement went downhill quickly. The available content made me question the ethics of the site with an extremely low amount of content for a site around 3+ years old. This and the addition of no zip format available for the photo sets is very disappointing.
The actual content consists of both hardcore and softcore which is refreshing. The hardcore appears to be shot with a boyfriend (who is caucasian) and there are a lot of POV or shots not showing his face. The softcore shots consists of glamour style with masturbation or cosplay and/or posing. The footage and sets are not entirely bad, there are just not a lot of it.
The videos are available in an average resolution and look about average. I have seen worst and I have seen better. However, I do believe these are better than the photography. The videos capture both hardcore and softcore footage and have quite a few options for download. But, there are just too few of these videos. Since there are an actual good exchange of varying content, the lack of the number of videos does not make the video content too worthwhile.
The photography on the site is not the best I've seen either. The resolution is low and the watermark can be intrusive. On top of that the lighting can be sketchy sometimes and look quite amateurish at times as well. However, there are quite a few sets that are nice. The photos progress well without too many of the same poses over and over again. But, with the lack of zip format or an in-screen slideshow, viewing these photos can be a burden. The locations do vary which are great such as outside on beaches, rocky areas, and indoors on couches or beds. She actually dresses up in some nice outfits and wears a nice amount of make-up (not too much, not too little), it's just a shame the the captured content is lackluster in terms of technicalities like lighting, poor cameras used, and shaky shots.
Overall, the site is not entirely impressive. Even with the bonus sites, the whole package is not impressive as well. The price is high for a site with three bonus sites that can be downloaded within a few hours. I am not going to review the other sites involved because they are basically the same exact thing and issues as this site. All the sites have a small amount of content and no zip format for photos. However, this is the only site for hardcore and softcore content. The others have only softcore. Thainee is actually an extremely cute model and the others are great as well, but the approach and content is not up to par with a site for 2009. I believe these sites may be rotating content which makes ethics come in to question. So, I would not join again and would not recommend others joining.
I joined and was quickly dissapointed. While the newer videos have better quality than the older videos, they just update slow. Plus, I can basically download everything from the site in a few days. The photos still have no zips.
The only thing about the site that is alright is the fact that it's exclusive content of a thai model which is hard to find and you get a few other bonus sites of the same thing. However, I found myself downloading everything I wanted from ALL the sites in just one day. That's pretty sad for a site that's been around for a couple of years. It's up to you but I would stay away from this one in my honest opinion.
Anyone know anything about this site? The preview does not seem bad. However, the score is from several years ago. While decent, I would like to know about this site nowadays. Lemme know anything if you know anything, thanks.
I will be extremely suprised if anyone picks options 2 or 4. These new reviews are great and I cannot praise them more. I actually started to slow down my user reviews due to these. Great work, TBP staff.
I am getting a better understanding and can agree to an extent on how you feel about a mature woman dressed in glam. However, the main point I'm getting at is that is like 1/4, if not less of the content on this site is glamour; so I don't understand how this can be a such a huge setback for you. I'd say more than half of the photos are featuring the women in everyday clothes. Isn't that what you want? (confused).
I am not trying to give you a hard time at all. But, I am just trying to understand your scoring for the site. A site that mixes up content with solo, lesbianism, and hardcore should be more praised, even if the solo content is what you want mostly. I just don't see how this is a negative aspect of a site and worthy of points being reduced.
Right on with the only commenting on only photography. However, I only think doing this will be a set back for your reviews in the future to not include some info on them. But, to each it's own.
But, to sum it up, I don't think I'm going to fully understand the scoring of this review without some more clarification about as to why certain aspects are cut down. However, these are opinion based reviews and just because I don't understand or fully agree with the review does not mean I am right. Thanks for your time.
This site is in the same company as Ladyboy Gold. Do they do the same thing and only let you download zipped photo sets after being a member for more than a month? Plus, can you give me any info about the size of the pictures and the videos? Any info would be great. Thanks.
I'm a bit confused as far as the mainstream glam remark? Maybe just the elegant ladies category but I found more than half the outfits to be regular attire worn to the mall or them doing regular household chores. I think there is a superior mix of glam with different outfits. Plus, there is a lot of working woman attire (I.E.: secretary) which I would never qualify as glamour at all.
I do agree with the fact that not all models are beauties. I think this is due to the site trying to update so much quickly that they cannot pick and choose quality models for updates. But, with talks about this with messmer and others, one person's gem of a woman can be another person's hag.
I'm not trying to ridicule or be negative, but I dislike the fact that this review had no comment about the videos. It's not fair for the site which has both quality photography and videography to only be judged on your opinion of the quality of photography. But, this is just my opinion.
To move on, while personally I think the score is a bit low, I just can't figure out why the score is so low. 77 is a bit average for this site in my opinion. All I can see for the reason that the site is scored a bit lower than I think is because you think there is too much glamour photos, it features hardcore plus solo, and not all the models are hot? Interesting.
Thanks for the review and welcome to PU. I hope to see more reviews soon. Take care.
I noticed you said that it is probably not the best in the ladyboy niche but I will go out on a limb and say it is. This site and it's clone site (shemale.asia) is the best place for ladyboy content in terms of quantity and quality of models with the best video quality as well. While the photography resolution size could be a bit higher, the actual photography is extremely crisp and well lighted. The people creating this content make these ladyboys look like true glamour models (you have to remember, most of these ladyboys on these sites are off the street and work in bars).
While you do mention that there is not a lot of hardcore, this site within the company is a site specializing in solo ladyboy content. There is a site within the company called Extreme Ladyboys which focuses on hardcore. I hope you did not give away too many points for this.
Thanks for the review and hope to see more TS sites reviewed by you later, it's always nice to have another member join with similar tastes.
Thanks to everyone who has responded and gave me advice pertaining to join the site. After reading the replies, I went back to the preview and noticed that it is split up. Dunno if I am cool with that. Due to the info provided above and what I know already, I think I'll do a month's stay down the line. Thanks again.
I have never joined this site. The new 2.0 review boasts a huge score at 95. However, I have read comments the past few months about the site going downhill. Also, I don't remember seeing the discount before? As a first time member, what's the verdict on joining this site at this discounted price? Any opinions and comments are welcome.
I don't think it's entirely true at all. But I do have an interesting thing to think about. I remember hearing awhile ago that caucasian women who have sex with black men in porn has their 'value' go down considerably. I don't know if this is true. However, I wonder if something like this can happen for an ebony model who has sex with white men in porn. I wonder if their pay would go down once they go back to 'all ebony' porn? Would be interesting to know in my opinion.
But, that's a bit off topic. When it comes to porn I think ebony women are under represented in terms of true stardom. There are plenty of extremely hot ebony models but I think their chances to make it to the top are limited. That's kind of what I meant in terms of under par. However, I can see how it may have been a poor choice of words.
I dunno what it means to be in top anymore (maybe a contract star for vivid, wicked?) but when I go around and ask my buds who their favorite ebony porn star is, I usually get blank stares. But, most of my friends probably don't browse internet based porn so that could be bias to begin with. I dunno, what is everyone thoughts?
I was wandering through the preview and noticed that while this site has a lot of bukkake based dvd's, but it has some mainstream stuff as well? Just wondering if anyone with a bit if experience as a member can give me an idea of the amount they have, whether it's just a minority within the site or if it's a good mix. Thanks.
I just want to give a follow up to anyone that may be interested in hearing the results.
It appears the customer service set-up was messed up on Grooby's end with failing messages back to yahoo accounts. However, once they realized this, they immediately created an email service that works with yahoo and promptly gave me my access. Plus, due to what I would call a minor set back due to timing, they even gave me 2 weeks longer access because of the problem. Therefore, I highly trust the company when it comes to customer satisfaction and the tickets are definitely worth it in my opinion.
