This is a site I join periodically because a lot of their stuff is really damned good, excellent quality videos and photos. I was stumbling all over since I joined this time trying to figure out how to download zips of the photos and bts shots, which I'm sure I've been able to do in the past. I figured I was missing something and was feeling embarrassed when I sent a message to their C/S - to my shock, this is the response I received: "The photo download link is no longer available on the site. You may now grab the image(s) of your choice then drag and drop them on to your desktop."
Thanks for the review - Karups and the ATK sites used to be favorites around here years ago, but I can't remember the last time I saw someone review 1.
If you haven't tried Grooby Archives yet, I would recommend it - it's an archive site, naturally, from across a range of Grooby sites. They add new updates once a week, but if you're into deep diving, they have the current site, plus they have the 2 previous versions of the site all still available to explore. I can't guarantee that there are no sets that fail to download, but Grooby is pretty good at keeping things running.

Pros:
Consistent updates - 18 a week - updated weekly
Years of archives, all easily accessible, all work
Good navigation by model name, alphabetical order, top rated list, etc
Grooby quality - in almost all their sites, they run a tight ship - everything's going to work well, including the deep archives
Variety of models - the models come from a variety of their sites - Brazilian Transexuals, Grooby Girls, LadyboyLadyboy, Black T-Girls, Shemale Yum - usually, there are 3 Brazilian sets, 1 of which is t-girl/t-girl, 3-5 ladyboy sets, 5 Black model sets, 5 white model sets per week.
I like their suggestions - if you find a model or set you like, the site if very good at suggesting other sets for you that you will also like.
Cons:
The presentation is very plain, for the most part - the model(s) will be in a hotel room posing, usually starting out clothed, then stripping and playing with herself, showing you her ass, etc, then cumming. There aren't much in the way of production values, there's not a tremendous variety of types of locations, rarely any story or scenario, a lot of models are completely quiet through most of the scene.
Bottom Line:
The # of updates and depth of the archives is the selling point of this site, to me. Even if you were only interested in ladyboy models, 5 scenes per week is a good update rate for most sites and you get 13 other scenes as well. Personally, it's the Brazilians and Asian models for me, for the most part, but with the depth of the archives, you will have early scenes of most of who have become popular trans star performers here, because no company has produced a fraction of the trans content that Grooby has. To be honest, the only Grooby site that I've every had regrets about joining was their Japanese site because the last time I joined, I found it to be all retreads. Other than that, Grooby is producing tons of trans porn material - most of which is, as I described above, very basic - model in a hotel room playing with herself. The question is whether you find the models attractive or not. The site makes it very easy to browse before joining so you wouldn't be buying a pig in a poke.
Great site - my biggest complaint is the navigation - Try to search by a model name or to search by letter, you can go make a cup of coffee before the information comes up and then it's completely random - Renee Rose followed by Rachel Rivers followed by Rosalyn Sphinx etc if you're using what presents itself as their alphabetical search. They do have the "Models" search, which may be better. Updates are weekly these days, which is nice.
Great site - the best currently updating site I'm aware of for Asian ts models. Grooby is doing less & less promos, haven't announced their annual Customer Appreciation Week, which used to be a great opportunity to get deals. We'll see if it even happens this year.
I suspect its a money issue - it's just a lot less expensive to pay 1 performer rather than 2. Go back even to page 5 of their updates and 20 out of 24 updates were boy/girl - that's substantial savings to eliminate the paycheck on 1/2 the performers in the vast majority of your scenes.
One might think that with the availability for trans models to work on more sites than in the past that Grooby might have more trouble finding attractive models. Doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not a current member of this site, but the roster of models in their newest scenes is as hot a group of trans models of various nationalities as I've ever seen. I would say the same of their Asian T-Girl site (an all-Asian site, as one would expect), Frank's TGirl World (also a Grooby site - pretty much all Asian or Brazilian) as well.
It's a pretty confusing site, but their C/S has always been responsive and honest in my experience. If you ask them what you get for ...., they'll give you the honest answer, might even offer you a deal.
Like many sites, there was a whole different level of engagement with fans on VB in 2010. They had a blog updated multiple times a week where they would discuss which studios they were making new licensing deals, they would solicit feedback from members, they would promote "coming soon" DVDs, etc. Now they have very little to brag about so no blog, no talk of new deals, no coming soon, just plop, here are today's updates.
For porn fans that don't mind a streaming-only option, I just discovered quite an enticing site. Adult Empire, the biggest U.S. DVD site also has a streaming-only subscription, AdultEmpireUnlimited. It advertises streaming-only access to 165,000 movies, 700,000 clips for $24.99/month or $49.98 for 3 months or $149.94 ($12.95/month billed annually) for 1 year. Certainly beats the hell out of Videobox and their rotated selection of bargain basement updates.
Lots of Gay and bi men content these days as well. Perhaps you have your filters set so you don't see that content. In the past week, they posted a scene from Chaos Men on 7/12, a bi scene from Let's Go Bi on 7/11, a bi scene from BiFuck on 7/10, a gay male scene from Blake Mason on 7/10, a scene from Pride Fuck on 7/09 and a scene from Jerk Buddies on 7/07
TBP's listed prices for this site are out of date. Current prices:
$39.99 - 1 month
$79.99 - 3 months
$150.00 - 6 months
$250.00- 1 year
Grooby sites know that they're delivering unique content and they aren't afraid to charge for it. They also very seldomly discount and when they do, in their annual sale, which is any time from August to October, almost all the offers are to existing customers only.
They are posting new material 5 days a week on the combined site. I haven't been a member for a while, but if I recall correctly, you also have the archives from the individual sites. For my tastes, the best ladyboy material in the Grooby universe of sites, and maybe anywhere, is on Frank's TGirl World. Not 100% of his models are Asian, but probably 90% and he's got really good taste.
Adult Time has some videos from this site among its bisexual offerings - they also have BiFuck, LetsGoBi, BiPhoria and some Evil Angel & Devil's Film bisexual content - just 11 scenes from this site are on AdultTime. I can't say that I've been excited by this content, but AdultTime is putting up more twink and femboy content, which is much more entertaining to me.

Pros:
As others have said, the amount of content in this site is pretty exceptional - 14,601 with new updates almost every day - 15 updates so far in May, pretty much all women that work for the European studios, including new babes like Lia Lin & Karolina Geiman. The videos look great and can be downloaded in 5 different sizes, including 4k and new videos have BTS video as well. For me, what really makes this site super fun is the ability to peruse all the material they make available for purchase from all these other studios. The trailers are very entertaining and there's endless amounts of material to peruse using different tags, etc. Warning, though - video quality on the oldest videos is not high. For instance, I find recent videos to have bitrate of 3335 kbps while 2002 videos here have a bitrate of 1064 kbps
Cons:
Their C/S is no fun to deal with, in my experience. You ask a question, you'll be asked 5 questions back before you get an answer to the question you were asking in the first place. Interestingly, the best place to get action on issues may be Pornworld's forum. Most sites eliminated forums when they started to have member complaints about the site. I just checked out a forum thread where a member was complaining about a large number of videos on the site that were not playing to the end or were encoded at a poor resolution. Instead of telling the member to shove off, the moderator thanked him for the list and got it to people to fix the issues. The member who submitted the original list of dozens of videos on May 8 found only 4 videos with issues on June 1. So use the forum if you have C/S issues with this site.
Bottom Line:
Fun is a factor that is not accentuated enough with porn sites. For me, the massive amount of PornWorld material and the un-freaking-believable amount of non-Pornworld material that is available to peruse and check out is really fun and their new material is better than what a whole lot of other sites are doing.
Yeah, as I said, I found 2 of the videos, 1 of which is clearly abusive, the other one it's ridiculous what the guy is talking about. I have no idea what was in the other videos since I haven't seen them and I don't trust the judgement of the guy who posted them given his mis-characterization of the Marilyn Sugar video.
Took me a while to find the post you evidently were referring to about the 500 videos - Here it is here:
https://www.lustfeed.com/rocco-siffredi/ I only found a clip of 2 of the videos that this guy refers to. One of them - with Marilyn Sugar - he describes as Rocco changing the scene on her in the middle. I hear some language about that - it sounds to me that it was language they agreed on ahead of time since she's not acting in the least upset or put out or anything. The other one is an early Rocco scene that's as close to rape as anything I've ever seen in porn. I only started watching Rocco in his post- Fashionista days, haven't seen him do any such things in any of the scenes that I've watched. It's a really nasty scene, nothing good about it. One of my all-time favorite scenes, one with Rocco, Janice Griffith and Alexis Tae, is among the removed scenes. I haven't watched every second of that scene, which was about 1 hour long, but I didn't see anything abusive in it. I've chatted with Janice about that scene. She didn't mention anything abusive in that scene and she's pretty vocal about such things. And I've never seen Alexis Tae post anything negative about that scene, as she has about other scenes she's done elsewhere.
I've also got to question a guy who throws around lines like
"
@Adulttimecom
&
@EvilAngelVideo
have been monetising these abusive videos for decades."
How many years has Adult Time existed? It's like 4 or 5, I believe How can a website that has been in existence for 4 or 5 years have been monetising abusive videos for decades? I'm not sure how much longer than 10 years EvilAngel.com has existed.
Rocco Siffredi was promoted as a key content partner with Adult Time as recently as December 2022. Now all Rocco Siffredi content has been purged from Adult Time - Rocco Siffredi.com still exists, and there is still content from Rocco as a director at Evil Angel, given that they all use Gamma, it wouldn't be surprising if he is deleted online completely.
Warning to anyone thinking of subscribing to Kink.com. While they are shooting new content, reversing their decision that they would only release new content made by partners, they are also not including all content in a subscription to Kink.com - or Kink network, whatever you want to call it. Now they have a Princess Donna section that they deem "Exclusive" that is another add-on subscription. I'm sure that if people pay that additional money, they'll continue to put more of their content behind additional "Exclusive" paywalls.
Plus it sounds like VPN's send another signal to the site's security - that's the feedback I got from ActionJAV about them suspending my account due to too many logins (I never share my username/password of any site so I think this was an issue with the security of their site), but they said "If you are using a VPN please be careful with how many different IP's are used to access the system."
I glance at this site every once in a while to see if they have any hot new girls. Their latest update is a tall beauty named Roxanna. I googled Roxanna FTV Girls to see if they had any mini-promo sets of her up. I found more than I was expecting and the date on them was 2016. So apparently FTV Girls is recycling 7 year old content and putting it on their site as though it's new. Good to know.
That's a drag. I was a member for 1 month once - good content, I've thought about going back. Sorry they're screwing you like this. I hope you reach someone that helps.
Another Grooby site that you might really like is AsianTGirl.com, which combines Ladyboy Ladyboy, LadyBoyXXX and Asian American TGirls in one mega-site and has a lot of the material that you describe as your favorite. If you wait till August and look around, you can find great deals on these sites during Grooby's Customer Appreciation Week (it varies as to the exact time, but Grooby will send you emails if you've been a member and got on their mailing list). and you're right about this site - it's excellent!
Any time in recent years that I have joined either Nubiles.net or nubiles porn, I have had access to the other site. It's not a connected login, you have to log into the other site separately but the same username & password that I an entering for 1 site works for the other. This has been the case, in my experience, for 3 years+
