Hey, are you calling me a jaded and elitist NY snob, haha. I can take it and there's certainly some prejudice in my feelings about porn, at least certain types. "San Fernando," in the context that I used it, was meant to be a euphemism for all the crappy artificial porn made throughout the world. The San Fernando Valley, for good or bad, happens to be the largest porn-producing area in the USA if not the world. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
You are absolutely correct though about "porn-fatigue." I have a prejudice against the type of porn described in T&A, though I honestly tried to be at least marginally objective. Unfortunately, at least for me, such porn rules the land, probably cuz that's what consumers want.
Btw, I love California and visit friends there whenever I can.

Many thanks.
I thought the same as you about the content not being up my alley and it basically isn't. I think our taste is similar. But I kept watching cuz it was so different in the respect that it was fun and playful, not to mention hot for what it is. My suggestion is to wait a bit until PU twists their arm and gets a PU discount. -)

Commentary continued
Streaming includes 2 options, high and low definition. I find that having a low definition choice is a great option since I generally stream just to get a preview. It’s less time consuming then loading the stream in HD.
To give you an idea of the playfulness of the site, the first set centers around a parody of the TV show, “Blind Date,” or more specifically, “Blind Date Goes Ersties Porn Version.” Included in the set, in addition to a parody of the game, is an interview conducted by head honcho Paulita Pappel with one of the models centering on the blind date theme. Strangely, this video is in English with German subtitles. (Some of the videos are in German with no subtitiles.) Also in the set is a video of a parody of the game show. Lastly, there’s another video of the chosen couple having sex.
Solo scenes don’t necessarily include masturbation – one called “Lap dance” simply shows a nude model breathing heavily and moaning while sort of dancing. The audio is stated to be binaural, a special audio technique like 3D. I did not test this with ear plugs and had no desire to do so. Others may find that the audio makes a big difference.
I found many of the interviews tedious and boring. On the plus side, they’re realistic, candid, cover a range of topics and sometimes funny. One model is asked the very original question about her favorite position. The response was hilarious: “Just lying down.” But really, I don’t need an exhaustive biographical interview for each model. I guess that’s why the fast forward button was created.
The site is a refreshing change from the usual in most every respect. Hopefully, San Fernando and other sites will take a cue from Ersties. Despite some flaws, I highly recommend the site for those that like this niche, more like a cross between softcore and hardcore with models (not actors!) and a crew who seem to be enjoying themselves. I am generally not such an abundance of solos and lesbians as well as softer hardcore, but I enjoyed Ersties very much. The site deserves to be praised for their innovation.
Membership options (no PU discount offered):
$29.95 monthly, recurring at $35.00
$35.00 1-month membership non-recurring
$45.00 3-month membership [best deal]
$84.00 6-month membership
$132.00 12-month membership

I joined over the weekend for 29.95 recurring at 35.00. I'm fairly certain that this was not a special PU discount. I experimented and went to the site directly (not through PU), no cookies, and got the 29.95 price. Among other subscriptions, they offer 29.95 recurring and 35.00 non-recurring. This seems to be aimed at everyone. Amanda, you should twist their arm for a better deal!
Elephant, this is a unique site in terms of structure, frivolity and playfulness. However, the content is not for everyone as with most any site, including me though the jury is still out. I will likely do a review in short time.
Generally speaking, I don't understand how the custom of charging the same (or more) for subsequent months makes any economic sense. I have to think that the vast majority of users download most of the content they want within a month. It's the law of diminishing returns. Why pay the same or more for subsequent months when you're getting less? I can see doing it for streaming, but that's it.

Very comprehensive as usual.
My favorite site on the network is a relatively small one, Oye Loca. Can you tell me if it's still updating?

Excellent review and thanks.
Personally, I appreciate that you stuck to your convictions and had the wherewithal to give it a controversial rating.
I don't overly disagree except for a little nitpicking. You mentioned several cons. The one I would take them to task with is the first one you mentioned, organization. I would have taken off 5 points for that. But like I said, that's getting nitpicky.
I'll also mention that I was a member about a year ago. It's not my cup of tea but, as I mentioned elsewhere, personal bias should not be reflected in a review. For that reason, I don't have a big problem with giving it 100.

Thanks for responding and glad to hear the network is taking steps to improve support.
I did go the link you provided and sent a message at the time of the problem but received no response.
However, things seem to be okay now except for the extra $4.95 charge. The $29.95 charge was reversed and it's not worth the energy to fight the $4.95 charge.

I think most of us will agree that Epoch and CCBill are the gold standard. Unfortunately, we don't always have options.
Japan HDV uses 3 processors, something I never saw before. I never experienced a site that uses different processors give the user an option which one to use, but then again, I haven't been around the block as much as you. One has to play games to get to use the processor of choice, like put in incorrect credit card info with a processor that you don't want to use and hope it defaults to the preferred credit card processor. I wonder what the rationale is behind this.
In my case, I wasn't paying attention to the credit card processor being used and simply accepted the default. My bad and I'm paying for my mistake, if not monetarily then with a waste of time dealing with this now. I have to think most users don't pay attention all that much to credit card processors. This group happens to be a savvy bunch and we make a big deal about processors as we should.
On the plus side, for me anyway, I never lost a nickel. I have no issue disputing a charge with my bank. I've always prevailed in disputes and never had it backfire on me by being blacklisted anywhere. I also find that once you threaten a site or credit card processor with a dispute, they generally back off. I'm guessing that's because they don't want to lose their processing privileges.

If you paid by debit/credit card, I would threaten to dispute. Just the mere threat of a dispute is generally enough to persuade a processor to issue a refund. At least that's been my experience. My guess is that the processor knows they're gonna lose and they are jeopardizing their status with the credit card companies, i.e., Visa Int'l or Visa USA.
I have gone through with a dispute a few times and I've always prevailed and gotten my money back. Other members say that this may cause problems in the future by getting blacklisted. I've never had such a problem.

I just got a chance to watch some of the videos I downloaded. It should probably come as on surprise that the site is also guilty of recycling. That is, putting current dates on old uploads. Coupled with the misleading and disgusting name of the site, this group is among the king of sleazies.

I agree, this was one of the better reviews on PU. Sure thing for a raffle winner so I'll lay off this week. ;)
Question: The TBP review from 2015 is somewhat contrary to your review regarding hard sex. Can you comment? The following is an excerpt:
"The content here may not be for everyone, the bulk of it, at least. Out of the total number of scenes 1,939 of them are mere interviews up to the 12 or so minute mark before there might be something like nudity, pussy spreading, or possibly some pussy play. If you're the type who really likes to get to know your models before they might be seen later in a hardcore shoot, go for it, but just know that's what you can expect from the bulk of the sites content."

I believe you! I once got pissed at Khan in my early days for not including a review that basically said the site sucks, haha.
I've seen comments by some of the old timers that they lost their motivation to comment on newbie reviews and I understand that. It's so commonplace. I feel the same, though once in a while I say something.
I stick to my guns though about a standardized review. So many other sites have it and it seems to work well. It doesn't need to be rigid and can continue to encourage free-flow thoughts. However, necessary info to allow someone to make a judgment about whether to join should be there. Simple stuff like whether the site is streaming only, video quality, number of scenes, etc. One of my pet peeves is that reviewers often don't report on the nature of the content, though sometimes it's obvious from the site name. Other times, not.
One of the major arguments against standardized reviews is that reviewers only need to review the guidelines about reviews. In a perfect world, that might work, but realistically, how many people read guidelines?
One of these decades all you naysayers will see the light. ;))

Thank you!
I wasn't entirely serious, though it really does irk me to see newcomers with unhelpful reviews getting such merit.
However, I really don't think such a distinction is necessary. One can tell from reading a review whether it's reliable and/or helpful.
I know this is never gonna happen, but formatted or semi-formatted reviews that more or less force a reviewer to include certain information would go a long way to helping the quality of reviews. I think newcomers need this structure and I speak for myself when I was a newbie. But alas, this idea has been discussed and tossed in the trash bin.

Not to digress, but I want more trust badges! I have 1 lousy badge, always one of the minute irksome things in my life, haha.
Which reminds me of the Reggie Hammond character... when asked what kind of cop he was, he responded:
You know what I am? I'm your worst fuckin' nightmare, man. I'm a nigger with a badge which means I got permission to kick your fuckin' ass whenever I feel like it!

OMG, I didn't know I'm like an open book. ;)
I joined before I saw your comment. And then I realized that I was a member in the past. I must have deleted the videos in my purge of stuff I didn't care for.
Before I go further, a few general comments on the site. Your comments were very much on target. This is a well organized site with excellent support. One of the features I like a whole lot, one that I never came across, is hovering your mouse over a video image gives you a concise summary of the video. Very helpful.
I experienced technical issues in downloading from the main site, New Sensations. It turns out they upgraded that sub-site and it wasn't possible to download -- only on that site. I received a response from support within an hour. We went back and forth in trying to fix it until it was finally fixed. The point being is that they were very responsive and eager to make things right.
I did suggest offering a PU discount. It seemed the tech guy wasn't familiar with such stuff but he thought it a good idea and is going to pass it on.
Having said that, as you intimated, the site is not for me. Too many tattoos, implants and older women. This is a matter of personal taste. Btw, I did see the video you wrote about and I agree - very hot, one of the few I liked.

I enjoyed the review - very informative. I had no idea about the laws and customs in India regarding sex & porn. However, I did wonder why there was so little porn available shot in India.
Another negative for the site - they state you can preview videos, but when you click the play symbol, it simply takes you to the sign up page. But for 5 bucks, I suppose I'll join to get the 18 videos.
