18stream site has a very nice preview section option that I wish more sites would offer.
In the public preview section, you get a large-sized thumbnail of each video in the site. The thumbnail usually gives you a good idea of what the model looks like. Even better, by clicking on the thumbnail, you get a free, 1-minute preview of the video, that gives you a good idea of the video quality (definition, clarity, and a very brief glimpse of the sex-action).
This is a wonderful way to give the prospective member a great idea of what the site contents are, and a good idea of what the models look like.
And site members can use the same previews as well, to help decide which videos they want to examine in greater detail.
Just signed up for 18OnlyGirls.
Easy signup thru CCBILL. I saw no pre-checked cross-sells. Access to site was immediate, easy login. Had to enter a capcha, but the numbers were easy to read. So far, I like what I see. There are a large number of teen-early 20s models, from Eastern Europe, many of them are cute. Large number of photosets and videos. The style of the photosets is like TeenStarsMagazine or the older photo sites, not high glamor like Metart or Mplstudios, but still nice quality, that could be better. Colors of the phtosets and videos could be better, you don't get the high-quality of top photographers. You get simple photosets. But they are nice, as long as you are not demanding high-definition, strong colors, ultra-sharp, glamor style photos. Site could be better, could be worse. But it's definitely worth a visit if you haven't been here before (as long as you are not too demanding on your photo and video tastes). The site flavor is softcore erotic: it's more hardcore than Metart or Mplstudios, but it's nowhere near the hardcore of your average hardcore video site.
I went from the link at TBP to 18onlygirls and the price I saw for network access to all 14 sites of the network was $39.99/month, recurring. The price listed at PU/TBP for that access is $34.97/month, which is the price it used to be.
Also, the monthly price for access to 18onlygirls is now $29.99/month, recurring, instead of the $24.97, recurring listed at PU/TBP.
They keep fiddling/changing the price at these sites every so often.
The TBP facts on the site state videos are downloadable, with no DRM.
A comment at PU dated 01-14-10 states the site is streaming only, with no downloads for videos. A reply to that comment, dated 01-30-10, agrees the site is streaming only, and states that according to a reply from support, the site does not intend to offer a download for videos.
So which is it: can you download all, or only some, or none of the site videos?
If the site is streaming only, for some or all of its videos, the facts at TBP should be changed to reflect that.
This site has been around for a number of years.
It used to be called "Beauty Is Divine".
At that time it was strictly a softcore teen glamor site. There were no videos that I remember.
Most of the models were really stunning.
The problem was that you only had a small number of photosets, and each photoset had a small number of photos.
Then the name of the site changed a few years ago to "X-art".
They started adding videos to the site.
The videos over the last couple of years or so are becoming hardcore.
The videos have a short runtime, 10 minutes or less.
The videos are very high quality (in lighting, focus, high definition, etc.).
The photosets are also becoming not just softcore, but hardcore as well.
I think the photography of the photos is as good as any major photo site, but some PU members have commented they thought the photography at this site was not excellent.
This site is not a mega-site in the amount of photosets and videos. But almost all the models are extremely attractive. And the videos and photosets are extremely high quality.
There are definitely more photosets than videos at this site, but that is because of the site history, when the site was strictly photosets.
The current updates at the site include both photosets and videos.
The preview pages show you nice-sized thumbnails of many of the covers for the site photosets and videos. The preview could be improved by including sample photos, and by a few sample 1-minute videos, so you could get a clear idea of the quality of the photos and videos.
You will probably wish each photoset had more photos, because the models are mainly lovely, and you want to see more of them.
And the videos, at less than 10 minutes each, seem very short. You will almost certainly wish the videos were longer.
If you like the type of photography at this site, I think the
site is well worth at least a 1 month membership.
I'm thinking of taking this comment, and turning it into a site review, because it sure as hell looks like it could have been written as a site review.
Copyright Nov. 16, 2010, by lk2fireone, in case I do write a review of this site, and the material in this reply is used as the basis for a site review.
I started to sign up for a membership at this site, then stopped before completing the process. I did enter a username and email address, and a password, but did not enter my credit card number. Then I decided not to join, and went to another site.
Less than an hour later, I got 3 emails. One email told me "Your account has been set up and will be activated the first time you log in." That account is for AmateurMatch.
My email address was the same I had entered at Porn Pros Network.
The username on the account was the name I had entered at Porn Pros Network + 1 digit at the end.
I got 2 other emails from AmateurMatch:
1 email is the AmateurMatch September newsletter.
1 email advises me to add a photo of myself and complete my Advanced Profile to increase my chances of finding someone.
I never heard of AmateurMatch before, and never signed up for it.
I made a mistake giving my main email address to Porn Pros, even though I did not enter my real name, just a user name. And that user name I gave formed the basis of my membership name in AmateurMatch.
And I did not even finish the signup process at Porn Pros. Their server apparently copies usernames and email addresses, even in a partially completed signup process.
Edit01: The only other time I used that same username was at a different porn site I did sign up with about 2 1/2 months ago, but I doubt the AmateurMatch spam came from that other site, because I gave the other site my full information on signup (Legal name, credit card data, etc.).
You click on the PU/TBP link and you get the error message:
"The site is down for maintenance and will be back online soon."
I hope the message is true, that the site will be back online soon. In the restaurant business, you see a sign that the restaurant is closed for remodelling, and it often means the restaurant will be closed for good.
This is a nice site. I hope the downturn has not forced them out of business.
TBP states site does not have zip files for photosets.
Photosets do have a zip file, you just have to know how to find it.
There is a single zip file for each photoset (only 1 size of photo to download).
First, select a photoset you want to download from the general index page, or from the listing for the photosets for that model. Go to the page for the photoset you want to download. Select the "VIEW High Quality Pictures" hot link. That brings up a new page, which has pictures from the photoset of that model. Select the "Download full archive" hot link. Your computer will save the zip file with the filename "all.zip".
You will need to rename the file before you download another photoset zip, or you risk overwriting the previous zip file you downloaded (unless you have changed the location you are downloading to, or have moved the previous zip file from the selected download target folder, or have changed the name of the zip file you are downloading from the default name).
Sorry for the bit about overwriting the previous "all.zip" file. Most of you already know that. :)
TBP states the content is not dated. But each file (video or photoset) is listed with the day and month it was posted to the site. Also, the files are listed in reverse chronological order at the site, listing each file from newest to oldest in that order.
Not a member, but I have seen a couple of videos from the site. The videos I saw were clean and sharp, the models are young and attractive. But $29.95 for 1 month to a single site seems expensive. This is part of a network. Obviously, if they included membership to a number of their other network sites in that price the membership would be much more attractive.
Not a member of this site. At least some of the models listed are famous Japanese models who are/were completely non-nude. Aya Ueto and Aya Hirayama, for example, are famous models who have appeared in bathing suits, but that is as much skin as they have ever shown.
Anyone joining this site expecting a lot of nudity will probably be disappointed. There are a lot of absolutely lovely Japanese models featured, but a gravure model is not a nude model, but one who wears clothing (including swimsuits and lingerie).
TBP states videos are streaming only, can not be downloaded. But
all videos that I looked at can be downloaded as high or low quality WMV files, as well as be viewed in high or low quality streaming.
PU lists price as $9.95/month recurring.
TBP lists price as $19.95/month recurring.
You click on the PU link to the site, and when you go to the join page, the price shown is $19.95/month recurring.
This is a small site, with only 40 models so far. The site is listed as amateur girls. I've seen a few of the same models at Metart, Femjoy, and other sites, so not all the models are complete amateurs.
Were any PU people members at this site, and have an opinion on whether it's worth joining?
slutty, you can view the videos online by streaming, or you can download them to your PC in multiple formats. But you are right, it is kind of misleading to see "streaming" in the name, because we almost all want to collect our porn and be able to download it.
The price of the site by itself is kind of expensive. To join the site directly, you have to pay $34.95 monthly.
Normally, you just get the single site itself when you join.
They are having a special offer, that if you join them, you get 18 stream plus two other sites in the network:
rough18
spunkybee
But the network, if you join through the spunkybee site instead, you only pay $29.95 (you save $5).
Plus, more important than saving $5, you also get access to 10 sites in the network, including the 18 stream site.
The sites you have access to, by joining through spunkybee include:
The videos are crystal clear for hardcore. Great definition, good lighting. There is actually foreplay and cuddling and kissing before the sex in many scenes. Many of the girls are extremely attractive, and even the male teens are good-looking. Good camera work on the videos. Instead of gonzo sex, you get scenes of guys and girls making out and having sex.
A really nice change of pace from many of the gonzo-style teen sites.
And during the sex, instead of just shots of 2 or more bodies banging away, you actually get to look at some lovely girls enjoying a sexual experience.
The site contents is small. Someone with a fast connection can download the entire site in 1 or 2 days. Anyone with faster than dialup can download the entire site in 30 days with no problem.
The last update is dated July 26. So if you do subscribe, there is no reason to go beyond a 30 day membership.
TBP says the site was launched in June 2010. The next month, July, they had already stopped updating the site. A real shame. I guess they ran out of money.
It can make a difference which site you use to join. At one site, you get membership to 3 of the network sites, and you pay a higher price than you do when you join through the spunky bee site.
Joining through the spunky bee site, gives you access to 10 sites, plus the lowest price for the membership.
Sometimes there can be a big difference in which site you use to join a network.
Any comments/opinions on whether the site is worth joining if there are no zips? There are some nice models, but the work of downloading the individual photos is not attractive.
Zip files were removed from the site back in 2008 (mentioned in December 2008 comment by Drooler).
Zip files were still not available Nov 2009 (mentioned in TBP review).
I don't have a lot of patience. And it seems like it would take a lot of work and time and patience to download the photosets as individual photos because there are no zip files available.
