I used to be fan of private and joind the site several times before the days of high speed internet and the explosion of quality on-line porn. Today, Private seems stranded in the past. I haven't been a member in several years now and was recently going over reviews here and at other review sites with the idea that I might re-up. I can't say that I'm really convinced to do so.
They still only post about 15 pics per set (who the hell does that any more) and still insists on DRM protection. All of this plainly states that they are still making their living off of magazines and DVDs and probably won't budge until their sales start falling too flat. With their huge back catalog this could be one of the ultimate web destinations but instead choses to stay stuck in the past.
I posted a review about a month ago on this site and my membership recently expired. I was a little miffed at the end since the site was recycling sets already posted there by listing them in new categories and calling them updates. I noticed the site had some duplicates but did not mention them in my prior review. I hope this is not a sign of things to come
I joined this site about 18 months ago. My experience then was that the usual 3rd party content was probably better than the site. The pics were small and most of the couples were not very cute. The vids were average at best. The site advertises as an amateur sex site but some of the models have done other porn shoots. I downloaded only a little and saved even less.
I recently looked at the site and it looks like updates are very few and very far between (only about 10 more sets added since I joined). Unless you're really into amatuer porn I would probably pass on this one.
I was a member of this site years ago and rejoined last summer. The site does have some hardcore but stopped updating it years ago. I recently went back to take a look and it did not appear that any new hardcore sets were posted.
The site is basically eastern european girls in panties doing solo and toys with some toys and a little hardcore. I think the owners have basically focused this site as a solo site so keep that in mind if you're interested in joining.
I belonged to zpornstars probably about 5 years ago. I saw on TBP that they're offering a $10 reduced membership. Hopping over to the website redflags started jumping out. The front page (there is no tour) looks almost exactly like I remember it. The sample girls posted on the site have been around, or out of porn, for years and it looks like nothing new.
The TBP says there are no high rez pics or vids which was a bit of bummer to me when I was last there. The pic sets came in at around 800x600. It might be worth it if the pics and vids were higher quality but from what I see and what little the website is willing to show I doubt that this is nothing but really old recycled material.
If anyone has had a more recent experience I'd like to know if there is any newer material. Otherwise, if you've seen the older porn star material on the web I can't see any reason to go here.
I'm posting this comment here because of Spencer's current review of the BeachhouseXXX on TBP. I recently reviewed the network to which this site belongs (Povporn) giving it a 64 rating. In my opinion, the whole network has a lot of problems and is probably not worth a trial membership. Just offering this comment as a heads up to potentially interested users.
I'm wondering if anyone has been to this site recently. I was a member about 3-4 years ago and have thought about re-upping. However, I do have a couple of concerns.
First, the price is a bit over the top ($45 month for 13 site access) and there no longer seems to be a less expensive option to join just one site.
Second, my only real complaint when I was a member before was the lack of quality. The pics then maxed out at 1020 x 780 and from the previews it looks like not much has changed. Back then, the vids only downloaded in clips and I see nothing in the tour that indicates full length or high quality vids.
I liked the site during my first go around because it is unique niche with some decent looking europoean models but I'm reluctant to go back at the current price unless there has been some quality improvements.
I used to visit this site once in a while about years ago but I've more or less quit visiting. I rejoined on a trial in '07 but was mostly disappointed.
For the uninitiated, the site is all russian women in pantyhose. A lot of the guys in the sex scenes also seem to wear hose too. The women are mostly average with a few hotties.
You get large pictures (1600 pix I believe) but the number of photos in a set is small (usually around than 50). I found the sex scenes to only be OK and you only get a couple of photographed positions. The vids are only average. Updates didn't seem to be coming very often either.
This site, while it was pretty good years ago, seems to have fallen behind. If you're really into pantyhose it might be worth the trial but mostly for the pictures.
This site looks like the red headed stepchild of Clubsandy.com. I like Sandy and took a look at this site but the most recent update was October, 2007, and most of the material looks like archieve postings. Personally, I like the DDF sites but at $25 a month it looks like this one needs a makeover.
I joined Vivthomas (I did not join the video site) in 11/07 on a TBP trial of $9.99. If you don't pay for the video site, you do not get to download the vids although there are some streaming vids so if you join you are joining for the pictures.
The pictures are well done and come in several different sizes going up 1280 pixels. There is a zip option.
If you join, you have to realize that a lot, but not all, of this material is old and is not exclusive. Viv sells a lot of his material to other sites and some sites also offer a Vivthomas section as part of their bonus material. I checked out the Vivthomas tour today and noticed that some of the newer postings are recycled shoots that I have had for years.
However, old does not necessarily mean bad. When I was a member I found some hot older series of Nella and Sophie Moon that I had not seen before. There is a fair amount of content but nothing you can't easily see in a month. Most of the content is softcare but there is a good amount of hardcore (about 200 sets) with most sets having 25 to 80 pics.
If you are newish to porn surfing and like quality photography, then this site is well worth the trial rate of $9.99 for a month but then leave and scratch it off your list.
I'm sort of cleaning out my closet today and adding comments to sites I've been to the last 8 months or so.
I joined Tastethebabes in the Fall of '07 on the trial offer after a computer crash wiped my material from a couple of years before that. To my discovery there were only a couple of new sets added. I looked at this again this week and feeble tour showed nothing that I didn't already have so red flags started popping up for me. I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger even for another trial.
When I was last there I noted that there were about 80 sets with about 1/3 being hardcore. The pics were clear and good sized (1200 or so). The vids were average at best. All the content is east european girls who are mostly good looking.
If you pay the whopping $40 monthly membership you also get access to some other sites. I had been a member of some of them several years ago before they eliminated the full trial offers and the content is pretty much the same throughout with Tastethebabes and Teensmagic being the best of the bunch. I cannot recommend paying $40 for the whole package of content though.
So, if you like eastern euro babes and pics, this site would be worth a trial but not a monthly membership. Then, cross it off your list.
Follow-Up - 07-31-08:
Actually, I just rejoined this site in July '08 and I can no longer give this site a "worth the trial" mention. Read my review posted on this site.
I joined Pinkfever a couple of years ago and went back to visit on a trial in later '07. The story on my second trip was that there was nothing new and the old material I already had was simply being recycled. Thus, don't expect much new content. However, I don't know if this is continuing or not.
This is a site to visit if you like pics of porn stars, I probably wouldn't join for the videos. The older pics are not real big but a lot of sets came in the 1200 pixel range.
I'll note that some of the Pinkfever material is posted on the Suze.net site so if you've been a member of Suze I would probably not bother going here.
In my opinion it is worth the trial if you have not seen his material before but don't stick around for full membership. Assuming not much has changed since I was last there I would probably score this site in the mid to low 70's.
I was a member there in late 2007. I don't want to do a review because of the time lag since I was there. I will generally note that the pictures for the new sets are full screen size or larger while the older sets were slightly smaller. The videos were generally good as well. My only real complaints were that most of the sets only offered a few positions which led me to burnout a little on the site given its niche schoolgirl status and some questionable picture cropping. If I were reviewing it I'd probably give it an 80 to 82 score. I will note that the bonus sites are not worth the bother.
I used to enjoy the Newsenations suite of sites but I have basically given up on it. While they have a ton of material they seem reluctant to beef up their images (most of the sites offer only 800 x 600 or slightly larger) which for photo lovers like me really hurts. A lot of the sets also seem to be repetitive in look and content. While they seem to be doing well they are falling behind the curve and need some improvements.
I did the trial join on this site in January '08 and found out that the trial was very limited in terms of what you could download (contrary to the TBP pronouncement) and the material was not exclusive. I immediately cancelled and left. Be careful of this one.
