lol at people actually saying to keep them seperate in the poll (it is the majority right now). As messmer said, porn is porn. This is PU not SPU (straight porn users). I can't even fathom why anyone would want it seperate. Oh wait, the porn users who like gay porn cannot speak to us straight porn users? lol x10.
Thanks for the response and I'm glad you enjoyed or found the review helpful. I appreciate any feedback and I'm happy you enjoyed the site yourself. See ya around.
Just to kinda reinforce and add to what may be wrongly worded statements by the reviewer, dracken, but I felt that as far as reading this review that I would expect Russian models as well. Clearly, dracken stated a language barrier was involved and with that stated and the combination that 'anyone who wants to see more Russian girls...', I'd definitly see this as a Russian site with these words. However, the webmaster states that this is not so I think there is a legit argument for the response that is not a Russian site nor contains Euro women and should maybe be re worded to get it straight. However, I can see where dracken is coming from if the models do not talk much in the videos because this is something that is very dominant in euro videos. But, that is if the models do not actually talk which was pointed out by dracken.
I'm not trying to say either one of you are wrong or right, nor trying to take sides. I can just see how the webmaster could see this review as portraying a Euro site when the site is not, while I can see how the reviewer could think this was a Euro site. Good luck and I hope this may add more insight between both of your discussions as a third party.
Of course this is true and I agree. However, the truth to the matter is that maybe even 16 years old (in the USA) can even be seen as too young to drive because at this age a youth has a feeling of invincibility and are not entirely self aware enough to know that by just simply drinking a few and driving can result in dire results (not just getting a DUI) and will most likely do such regardless of what is heard/told to them. Why? because this also ties in to the fact that most youth also feel not only invincible but the fact that nothing will actually happen to them, until it usually does. However, this can be argued for 'adults' as well but I think a heightened sense of self awareness and maturity increases the feeling that these things can and will happen to ones self as you age. It's an interesting discussion but I just feel that any youth who wants to drink for whatever reason and wants to drive will pretty much be done anyways unless credible sources can truly get through to the youth before it happens. This is quite a hard thing to do but that is what life and maturity is, making decisions with certain results and learning from them.
Why is it not worth arguing or discussing? Yes, that's where it is but why would a statement such as 'not worth arguing about' be stated at all from anyone? I am for saying that the age 'limit' is a bit low in my opinion and I can discuss or argue (whatever u want to call it) that many other things involving an age limit are quite misleading as well. For example, a person in the USA being able to put their life on the line and kill others in war but not being able to drink a beer legally. So, a 'woman' can get gang banged by 50 guys on film which can be shown world wide but cannot sip a beer legally? Hmm, I think that's grounds for discussion right there. I am by no means advocating that there should not be an age limit for any of these acts. However, the poll topic is involving a 17 year old and as I said earlier, I find it laughable that anyone would find a difference between a 17 or an 18 year old doing any porn as one being 'okay' while the other as 'bad'. But, I do know that 18 years old is where the legal age is at world wide and I respect it in the fact that I would not seek out or search content of 18 and under models. Nor do I think it is right for anyone to do so. Therefore, I think it can and should still be discussed or argued that the age limit may still be a little young for it to be 'okay' for a girl (yes, a girl) to be doing such acts on camera legally at 18. Personally, I think 18 is still too young but many can argue that it is okay. I think it is valid to discuss or argue this and quite interesting to get others takes on this subject. Therefore, I think there is grounds for discussion. My 2 cents....
I do know the reasons and respect the law of drawing the line somewhere when it comes to aspects of legality. This goes for pornography, alcohol, smoking, and driving. I would obviously delete the material after finding out because I consider myself a law abiding citizen. However, sometimes these ages really make me laugh as "legal" ages to do certain things. Honestly, it's almost laughable that 18 year olds (both males and females) are considered 'old enough' to do porn. Honestly, there is an extremely minute difference in maturity level of a 17 year old and a 18 year old. While all people age differently physically, I believe the majority of women look the same at 17 than at 18. As far as a so called mental maturity (at least enough to do porn and make that decision smartly) I'd so there is no difference between 17 and 18 or even so on. I'd say 21 should be the right age for it 'legal' to make porn. Personally, I can honestly say I was quite stupid at 18 even though I thought I was as smart as an adult and 21 I even felt that way. Too bad I was wrong even at those ages.
I know that it's hard to do cut offs when doing laws in terms of 'old enough' to do things but I think many are a bit young or even too old. I'm going to stick to porn because I could rant about the other things and I don't want to get off track. I have been working with youth in psychology in the age ranges of 12-18 and I can honestly say that no one in those age ranges should be doing porn. But, I'd say most children are mature in ranges of clusters. This meaning, if I had to lump maturity in terms of age ranges I'd say it goes 12-14, 15-16, and 17-18. If no stopping at 18, I'd go 17-20. I think these clusters have the same maturity level in the majority. Of course, a 17 year old could be like a 14 year old and visa versa but this is majority.
I guess the point I'm getting at is in terms of this poll, a 17 year old being featured in porn is about as laughable and creepy as an 18 year old being featured in porn. However, I do understand that 'one' is legal and one is not, so if the model was discovered to be illegal I would of course delete it. My 2 cents...
Well I can see a friend or lover asking about it but if anyone other than that asked me I would have to see them as creepy for asking in the first place. I put that it's never came up because I've never had someone from that area ask me but I have had discussions with friends about porn and even watched it with them as well. It's not like a large topic that's discussed and it is rarely watched together but it has happened. However, if it ever came up from a friend or lover I would never deny it (I'd probably deny how nasty some of the shit I watch can get) but probably state some mainstream shit that I've seen.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Exclusive content of mostly Thai TS models but also other Asian models doing mostly solo masturbation but hardcore and stripping as well.
- Updates once a week but with 5 models showcasing usually a video and photoshoot each.
- No DRM.
- Videos are quite good in quality with newest ones averaging at 1280 X 720 with ~ 2,500 kbps or 640 X 480 with ~2,000 kbps. These are common for files between 2006 to present. Years lower are available in parts and avi or rm only.
- Streaming is now available.
- Photography is professional with a non-intrusive watermark.
- Nice site design with easy enough navigation.
- Search features that appear accurate with the option to add tags for yourself to find files quicker.
- Voting system and comment area for models and content.
- Active forum for communication and discussion.
- Extra comic section for entertainment.
- Coming soon section to see what updates are about to happen for the month.
- Girl of the month feature for 'hotter' models.
Cons:
- Photo resolution is still low with newest images updating at ~1280 X 800. If the site went up to a more updated res at about 1600 or higher the site could go in to the 90's for me. However, the photography is still good but is in a low resolution.
- As with most sites that have been around a long time, quality diminishes around 2005 and lower. There appears to be no plans to revamp this material so it is what it is.
- Price can be considered quite high at $35 but can be discounted through a ticket system.
- Some videographers/photographers are a lot better than others. Therefore, some content may be more lacking than others but this is all opinion.
- A lot of ladyboy sites have contact information for models but this site does not. This does not bother me but it may for others.
Bottom Line:
Ladyboy-Ladyboy is a grooby site that contains all sorts of Asian ladyboys but mostly Thai. However, there is an honest attempt to create a mix which is almost unheard of with a site showcasing ladyboys. The model selection is plenty and range in features from the classic femboy to all out post ops. Plus, another great thing is the site has been around awhile and many models return, so it's almost like their transformation is documented as their looks change. Overall, the site has a lot of content and a huge model selection.
The videos are good quality if you get them at the right year. Mostly all videos from 2006 and up are available via full scene in different qualities. The footage captured is usually a strip to masturbation scene. However, this site gets many more points from me because almost every update showcases a cumshot which the other Grooby sites kinda stray away from with all their updates. Meaning, this site features way more cumshots from models than the other sites from the company. The settings are usually located on a bed in either a hotel or home and the lighting is fine. However, the location rarely changes so get used to beds. Plus, there is sometimes quite a bit of chitter chatter and groping from the videographer. A big no-no for me when it comes to videos but this is not the main vision of the whole content. Meaning, most of the videos do not feature this. However, it is present. Also, there are quite a few hardcore scenes involving mostly TS on TS models which can be quite hot. They are not updated every time but they do come quite often. Overall, the site gives a nice mix of content for offer.
The photography is well off but the res is way too low for a site in 2010. But, I cannot knock the images for being bad. They are usually shoots taken around the same time of the video. So, most are shoots that accompany the videos. Meaning, the sets locations and outfits are the same but they are not vid caps. The images are all available to download via zip for every set at one resolution.
The site offers plenty but the price can still be seen as high in my opinion. However, the videographers here tend to focus more on the climax of the scene (cumshot) which is great news in comparison to the other sites within this company. There is a wide variety of types of models and many of the superstars as well as unknowns are featured here. Plus, the site contains plenty of extra features that makes navigation a lot easier because the model index is so large. Many might complain that they update everything on the one day of the week but at least it is more than one photoshoot and video per week. Honestly, they should get the resolution of the images higher and keep the same quality while stabilizing the resolution of the video updates when it comes to which will come out by creating a standard. Then, the site would probably get in to the 90's in my opinion. I'd say check the site out once if you are a fan of ladyboys, for sure.
I'll say sometimes. To me, it's more of a star that has a huge list of multiple names on different sites. This can either be due to thier request or the site just changes it for some reason. Either way it can annoy me when I'm seeking out other work by them, especially if it's on a site that has an extremely large model index. But, sticking to the poll I'd have to say this can annoy me sometimes but if it is a common name or just first name and they keep it the same everywhere; it is extremely easier to find their content.
Thanks for the reply and yes I was still looking for an answer. I hate that DivX files rarely play on the PS3 and even some WMV's. The worst thing is when I join a site that says WMV and I assume they will work for PS3 and they don't.
I appreciate the compliments and thoughts about joining sites based on reviews I've done. If you have any questions or details that would help you on any sites I've reviewed, don't hestitate to respond and I'll whip out the old hard drives to look at shit for you. After writing my response I did go to the site and noticed it looks exactly the same. What a poor site design, lol? Stinks that the Rodney Moore site is still $19.95 and this site jacked the price up, ughh.
On a side not totally off the subject of Shemale Strokers, but did you check out the bonus site for Shemale Club (Private Transsexual)? Honestly, with the combo of both of those sites together for one price I honestly think it's the best site for TS content from the Americas.
Brazzers is quite wishy washy for me. I do think that's a great price just to check out a site, I just dunno if I can do it. I've been back to an asian TS streak lately and have joined a few sites in that realm that I have never joined. Brazzers is something I may do down the road (may be a long one) because I can and will always love a big tittied (even fake) real chick!
Another fine review james4096. By the way, I don't think I mentioned this early but congrats on breaking the 100 points mark. Always appreciate the reviews and I think I share a lot of common interests as you.
As long as it takes me to get everything off the site if possible. Usually I start at the model index at A and download everything I can till Z. Some sites I can get this done in half a month, while others it takes me more. Twisty's and Shemale-Yum were the largest sites I've joined and it took me almost all the time I had in the 30 days. However, I do always miss a lot of days from just doing things in my personal life. So on average, I miss anywhere from 1 to 5 or 8 days no matter what from this. I don't think I've ever joined a site and made it there every single day of my term.
I'm guessing DDF primarily uses Euro models? I'm am still quite a novice when it comes to these types of sites and I have a few questions.
I may be a jackass at reading but I am kinda confused about the 1byday site. Is this site part of the network?
What's the network's specialization? I know you say all is covered, so is there a good ratio of all the fetishes covered or would you say one type stands out the most?
No problem brother, I'm always willing to answer stuff that I may have some insight to. I do think it is a good site and I actually scored it quite high myself, but I think we may not share the same tastes. If you have any more questions or want deeper info, I can pull out the external HD that has the sites content on it. I think I have every video and about 1/4 of the photos up to the date of the review I published. Good luck hunting man! I know how hard it is these days with the pickings we have....
Oh my, I totally misunderstood you I think. Plus, I want to add that I was not trying to argue and I know I stated that term in my response; I think I should have used debate instead. Also, I was just typing out a really long reply because I was extremely bored at that time and after re-reading it I think I came off as a bit harsh.
In regards to the price change, I am quite mad considering the site is maintained and shot by only one videographer/photographer and the site design is strictly amateur. However, I guess that's the huge advantage to the site as well because if you love Sammy Mancini's work then you will love the site, hands down. This is because a lot of other sites in this realm feature work done by a lot of videographers/photographers and you may only like 1 or 2's work.
You are right that both of these sites you mentioned probably do have more solo content available. I actually like Shemale Club a bit more when it comes to TS content because of the great ratio.
Don't get it twisted as far as knowledge, it appears that you have quite a bit yourself and I would not take what you say with a grain a salt :) One of my favorite things about Shemale Strokers is that he is revamping old videos and making them better which a lot of sites don't do. On top of this, he is adding new ones in better quality as well. However, I would never go so far to say that even his best videos that are considered 'HD' can compete with the two sites you mentioned in terms of video clarity. Sammy really needs to learn to encode cleaner or get a better camera. I think if he could get videos to look like Club or Yum, he could compete a lot more.
You mentioned Rodney Moore sites, is this a in the TS niche? I am always looking for suggestions these days on some sites to join. Be the way, thanks for your insight and replies! I love discussions with other PU's and I apologize again if I came off as arrogant or malicious :(
All the models are quite petite and the fake tits are the minority. However, these models are not as petite as models in maybe ALS Scan. Meaning, the models are usually skinny but smaller tits are not the main concern of the site. While I'd say some of the fake titty models are there, the site rarely shoots models with fake tits that are overwhelmingly big. So, if there is a shoot of a model with fake tits it is probably a model going from A to B or C or B to C but not really over this.
The only thing about the site that is my main concern is the overall routine that each scene gives a feeling of. For instance, I'd say the majority of the scenes (videos) are models going through the motions. Standard strip, masturbate, then orgasm (a lot of theatrics). Plus, the hardcore is your standard girl on bed/couch, man walks in, she sucks his cock, he goes down on her, missionary, doggy, cowgirl, reverse, jack off in her face. Also, the hardcore scenes are a minority here. I'd say about 1/4 of the content unless they have been doing a huge amount of hardcore updates since my membership.
While that may stray you away as it is from what I said, I can say that the videos and photos are at the right quality for this day and age. Plus, the lighting is quite well and the settings are colorful and bright. If you are a photo lover, I know the resolution is high and can be downloading via zip (plus the other sizes). However, I know the watermark is non-intrusive but I don't remember how much they are shopped up.
Plus, as I recall you are a fan of 'keeping the bush' and I do believe most of the models here are highly trimmed or completely bald. Hope some of this helps with your decision.
Yes but the price was at $24.95 which means this site was $10 less than those sites for a long time. However, being $5 less is still better than going up to the price that the other two sites that you mentioned. But, there is something one has to realize when it comes to this site and both Shemale Club and Shemale-Yum.
Shemale Club specializes in all aspects of content and therefore should be a site that has a large variety of content when it comes to overall types of scenes. Argument: Shemale Strokers (please read the name of the site?) is a solo shemale site only featuring full masturbation to cumshot scenes and any other content you are getting from this site is considered bonus material. Therefore, of course Shemale Club is going to have hardcore and more/better of it. So, basically there is no basis for an argument when even comparing these two sites. Yes, both contain TS models but the vision of the sites are completely different. Basically, that's like going to a site like Met-Art and expecting hardcore scenes.
Shemale-Yum: The guys at grooby bring TS models from mostly the Americas and that is what basically Shemale Strokers does. Plus, I can see where many would like to compare this site and Strokers because of this. However, Shemale-Yum has a different vision as well. This site features TS models but attempts to range the material by including many different types of shoots which may include masturbation scenes but also just stripping, hardcore, lesbian, and fetish. But, Shemale Strokers is once again a site dedicated to just solo masturbation scenes. However, I think Shemale Strokers is one of the only sites featuring these types of models that does it right. You know you will get interviews, stripping, masturbation, and a climax (cumshot) during each video while Shemale-Yums solo scenes are a lot more scattered. So, I see where the sites are more closely related to each other but I'd say they are still different in many ways.
I do understand in a way where you are coming from and I agree the price going up is a bit unsettling. However, the site is still cheaper than both those sites. Plus, the new videos are like 100% better than what was offered before and the director gets these models to do a lot of kinky shit that most sites featuring solo material do not do which is probably the largest reason to join this site. But, I'd say both Shemale Club and Shemale-Yum are definitely premier sites in the TS niche; I just think all these sites being in the TS niche is the only major comparison one can make.
What a huge bummer! This site which used to charge a lower price (change must be quite recent) than most TS sites featuring great quality content appears to have upped their price to $29.95 and added a pre-check cross sale when you go to sign up. Just giving everyone a heads up about the bad news. While I still hold the same feelings as before about the site with a more decent price, this is still unfortunate news whenever a site tends to do this. If anything, sites should be going down in price :(
I was a trial member about 3 months ago and was completely dissapointed with the site when it came to download speeds. When it comes to this problem, I've really only had this problem with one other site to where I could complain. But, with this site and that one (the other was a non-affiliated site), I experienced very slow download speeds at about literally 35-75 kbps speeds. After reading TBP 2.0 review and no problems with tis, I am wondering if anyone else has had problems with this. I'm located in the Midwest of the USA and have rarely had problems in this aspect with a lot of sites over the years, so I cannot say my ISP is poor. I liked what I COULD get from the site and TBP reviewing a good score has interested me again but I can't see me joining at speeds like that. Any insight would be great, thanks.
I've never been a member here but as far as your remark about the update scheme, when I was a member of SexAsian18 they updated roughly that many in a week. However, they are not doing daily updates from what I remebered months ago. However, I do recommend this site for quality updates and great JAV for a reasonable price. Plus, they usually offer scene downloads and/or full movie downloads which is great for a DVD site IMHO. Anyways, thanks for the info about this site.
EW, I missed the d/l limit on the facts sheet. That might actually be a bother with a pic site at 2000 res with a limit at 2 GB. That might chalk my interest as it is. Plus, with the fact that PinkPanther's comment about altered images, I may have to put the site on the back burner for now. This is why I love PU and get quality info that I may have missed/not have known. Thanks for the reply.
Aw man, this kills me. I am not a fan of image altering and it appears this site is mainly photography in itself? I hope you can bare with me if you can help me better understand what you mean by lacuering of the photos? I'm guessing they make them glossy artifically? I think you are right about the archives, TBP review states they were affiliated with Asian4You at one point so that must be the right assumption. If you don't mind, when/if you were a member here, do you remember which asian countries the models were from? or, is this an Asian American site? Thanks for the feedback, brother.
Solid Review by Maggie - Anyone Got Anything to Add?
In the asian niche, good sites that are not JAV DVD sites appear to be a dime a dozen when it comes to anything other than that. This site features high resolution photography and some average quality vid content from all types of asian models. Also, it appears everything is exclusive. All-in-all, the review enticed me to seek out fellow PU's for more info. Anyone got anything else they can say about the site in terms of break down of models by countries, update scheme, worth the cost, so on and so on? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I'll have to put more or less the same. Why? Because I believe that yes, the photo and video quality appears to be increasing but it's the same old sites that are doing this. Rarely these days, are new sites appearing doing the 'right' thing to make me feel that sites are getting better. While the same sites we have all been visiting for years are staying the same or getting a little better, they are still the same old sites. If a bunch of new sites that launched this year were starting at the right quality and were worth a membership, then I'd say that sites are improving. However, it seems like everytime I check out a new site that launches they are roughly at least over 50% (maybe even more) of the time stuck in like 2005-2007 still and may even still feature a shitload of non-exclusive material. But, I believe my favorite niches are in a minority and this may skew my outlook on things. Yes, a few sites (maybe one to three) may look quality that open up new each year but with the thousands upon thousands of sites there are, you would think this day and age it would not just be a few dozen sites that are even worth the price they offer and/or still updating.
