Thanks for the comment. I said it earlier, but it bears mentioning again: when your site takes three experienced porn buyers to figure out you may be doing it wrong. I'm sure their porn is expensive to make - many scenes have multiple models and most feature some extreme acts - but I agree that if they simplified their business model they could improve sales. I first heard about LP on another forum and it was raised by someone who asked a legitimate question as to whether the site even took memberships from outside Europe. That may be a silly question for any other site, but this one is so complex to join and use it was a valid question.

The Sarah Shevon scene is probably my favorite on the site, but not because I like Sarah (which I do) but because I like Penny Pax even more. What makes the Sarah/Penny scene more interesting is that this is probably the most extreme thing that I've ever seen Penny do. The scene probably didn't push any of Sarah's limits but it probably did push Penny's limits.
I agree that the cost at Assylum is high, but given how unique they are it is still a good value. (And jook just posted that the trial membership is a full trial.)

Like I said. You can be forgiven for not looking too deeply seeing as this is a well established site. At least now you may rad the error reports prior to joining other established sites. I tend to always be very cautious when the words :free trial: are used.

Now you can be forgiven for not doing it but I assume you didn't check out TBP's review prior to joining because there is more than one error report this year and it's all about the trial not being a full one. In fact 3 out of the 4 reports this year were about the trial not being a full one. Not sure if you paid more than 1$ but hopefully you didn't.

Our staff looked and can't confirm (or deny) what you heard.
To explain ...
The tour says an all inclusive flat rate (it doesn't mention unlimited downloads). Inside the members' area, it is still asking for tokens to download.
As best we can tell, it still requires tokens to download videos.
Sorry we couldn't help more.

Brazzer's and Reality Kings ARE separate, the comments can be confusing in hindsight. The review was on Brazzer's. The problem was with their associate site (the attempt at the $565.00 charge.
The Epoch comment was in RESPONSE to another member's reply about the practices that are making a minefield of charging you for things you had NEVER intended or used. The "Already clicked" Cross sells were bad enough, but this auto-charge is making things worse - BTW, did you ever notice if you aren't careful, the boxes can "re-check" themselves if you refresh the page. I am almost to the point if I see a cross-sell box I close the page and do not buy their product, my tolerance (as well as others) is getting more and more frayed.
I DID go to EPOCH, (to answer your reply) I did the LIVE chat. I enclosed in my reply statement to that other member, a copy of the E-Mail Epoch SENT me where they AGREED to refund the charge. THEY NEVER did AND refused to acknowledge any future communication. I had asked them at the time for a confirmation email. (Which I kept, and pasted a copy of here.)
Epoch argued that I should have read the terms on the sign-up page - THERE WAS NO sign-up page. No "Terms" NO "amount" to be charged, just a teaser ad/email for a low price, click for more info, and you get charged from the cc on file. (And remember in both instances I called within minutes of the charge, not days or hours later AND never went to the site or the site I had originally signed up for again.)
I think the most frustrating thing is Epoch kept up the comment of you "Read the Terms" ignoring the fact that there was NO agreement page. (And NEVER checking it out which made me suspicious that this was becoming a common practice now) And make no mistake, up until that time I had UTMOST confidence in Epoch. The point connecting the 2 places are these trick charges (is that a fair term?) They are become more commonplace as you read the various forums. The trust "Gained" by Adult sites and payment companies over the years are being eroded more and more in a name of a "fast buck". In the end You have to consider, Epoch was involved and did NOTHING but keep the money, regardless of their statement. This I feel makes them complicit (IMO). I used to be in the Adult business and this upsets me to no end! How much business/money does the Adult Industry lose doing these tricks, I bet it is considerable. You can build the greatest site in the world and still be considered "cheap' by pulling stunts like this. People are voting with their wallets and not signing up anymore. I am getting to the point of considering one of those rechargeable Credit Cards for safety or a $50.00 only account.
I'm sorry if these series of replies are confusing, you have to read all the comments and replies in the order they were made here to keep it in some sort of context. But Yes, I tried it your way, didn't work. Thank you for replying! 8)

I wanted to somehow say, Brazzer's Good, the chat, or cam site bad.
The thing is that it is hard to do. I was at another site, it was Reality Kings I think, got an e-mail. get it for ONLY 7.95 charged monthly! WOW!! Charged monthly? Not a 6 month or 1 year deal?
Had to check it out. Clicked on the ad, got a click to take advantage of the deal and get more info...
Clicked for for more Info...
Thank you!!! You will be billed 29.95!!!! That's all, no info, not signup page NADA.
Called immediately, yelled and screamed. They told me that I should have read the info on the sign up page. THERE WAS NO SIGN UP PAGE!!
Finally to shut me up, they said they'd refund the money, I requested an email confirming this... Here it is:
Dear Raymond Beyer,

your account for a product that was ordered with your credit card.

I have never been a fan of FTV but it's not because of the models they hire or the way they look on their site. It's a question of the type of content they offer. Solo stuff does very little for me. I'm glad they still exist and seem to still be able to make money because you at least get to see how beautiful some porn performers truly are.

I know what you mean about how it can get repetitive. I noted that in my earlier review. My way of dealing with that is to watch something else and come back to the massage stuff again later. I do like the scene set-ups in most scenes as it creates a sexy atmosphere.
I did have some trouble with the site in IE but once I started using Chrome I was fine.

I'm with you. When I download I do the entire set then stich them together, but you make a great point. Some scenes go on for ten minutes (or so) where the only "action" is when the girl shoves a dildo in and out of her pussy. Yes, there could be a short period where she reaches orgasm, but that could easily be a minute or so of video, not the full 10 minutes.
But your point is spot on. Saving a 500 Mb scene for a few seconds of a 'gasm is a foolosh waste of hard drive space.
Thanks, Elephant.

I agree with both you and Pat. Some of the super successful H/C babes are also on FTV; such as Haley Cummings and Gianna Michaels (Rossi). Seeing them in a free form and totally sexy single is really a terrific turn on. A nice add would be to have the site indicate in their already extensive detail info for each model, what their porn names and aliases are so we can track their careers.
My only beef, and it's an age-old one with FTV, is that they still break up their downloads into multiple segments.

I don't know if you are aware of this but it's actually quite common for many porn starlet to appear on FTV. Most of them do it prior to doing porn but that doesn't change to fact that they wind up in porn anyway and it's not like any of them change their looks so much as FTV does a superior job in making them look more appealing.
Mind you this may have a lot more to do with the type of content FTV offers VS what hardcore porn companies do.

My connection is a 25 Mb/sec fiber optic line. I test it regularly and generally see results in the 23-25 Mb/sec range. I'm using Safari 7.0.5 on a new Mac Pro running OSX 10.9.4. Downloads from other sites generally show speeds in the 2-5 MB/sec range which I find acceptable. On FemJoy the first GB of downloads in a day is in that range and then the rate starts dropping. This is the only site where I've seen this behavior. Some other sites will lock you out for a while if you exceed some limit. This site seems to gradually throttle down the speed. I've seen it go as low as 20 KB/sec. I'm in touch with their tech support, but no resolution yet.
I haven't tried to use FireFox till now. I just downloaded two photo zips with FireFox. FirFox doesn't report the download speed. Activity Monitor seems to be reporting speeds similar to Safari.

I wouldn't have for 10$. I tied them a while back but I was pretty disappointed in their product. I recommend you go the teenmegaworld route as you will find a huge amount of the same content and it's only 20$

The do some kind of regional pricing but their conversion rate is higher than the exchange rate. The 29.95$ membership cost comes to 37.95$ Canadian when it should be closer to 33$. Worse is that they offer a non-recurring one month membership for 48.95$. Fuck me but why would anyone pay that kind of money for a library of content that is largely not exclusive.

I'm glad I could help you out. I do think that VB passed its prime a long time ago. I think the only reason they can offer such low prices is that they upload crap and only in low resolutions by today's standards.
Like you, I'll celebrate if Kink ever offers some kind of network access.

I wish I had the answer on costs for you, but in all the comments and reviews it seems no one, including myself, ever noted that. But some of the more recent information there does suggest that the pro-rated pricing for the add-ons is still in effect, which means that you can control what you pay provided you cancel your main membership after a month. If you're confident that you can get all the Kink scenes you want in a few days then sign up to Kink with three or four days left on your VB membership and you'll only be charged for those few days remaining. But if you forget to cancel you'll be charged full price for both VB and the add-on at the start of the next monthly billing cycle.
I don't remember what the file resolutions were either, but I can say that I have since deleted all of them. I'm guessing 540x480 or somewhere around there.
I agree with you that it would be a great idea for Kink to offer some 'buffet' kind of membership where a member could access a specific number of scenes across all their sites for a set fee. One thing about Kink though, is that if you join one site you get a discounted price to the others. But that's still an expensive proposition. Kink does offer some form of pay-per-scene but I don't know how much it is per scene. If you're really only interested in a few scenes that may be a cost-effective way to get HD scenes at a reasonable price.

I don't have the answer for you, but the last time I was a member there the add-on 'channels' were pro-rated to the remaining length of your first month. So if you joined VB on July 1 and also joined the Kink channel on July 1 you paid the full price. But if you waited and joined Kink on July 20 you were only charged for the one-third of the month that you used. That was valuable if you were only staying a month. Subsequent months you'd be billed full cost for both VB and the Kink channel.
One major caveat, VB really seems to have changed their business model. They don't seem as transparent as they once were and they could have changed the billing practices for the channels.
One advantage though is that the Kink channel gives you access to shoots from several different Kink sites so you can get samples from a lot for a lot less money. The biggest disadvantage is that the file resolutions on the Kink channel are far lower than what you can get on an actual Kink site.
I hope this helps.

I can't comment too much about the looks on the girls face because I simply haven't seen enough of any of their scenes to have a decent sample but these guys aren't trying to shoot porn where the girl is having a good time so it's probably next to impossible for the girls to fake it. I guess their formula works so why change it? I won't say anything else on their method of billing but their ticket based system is a guaranteed cash cow. I mean how can it be anything but that when a 30$ membership only gives you 35 tickets which will get you a maximum of 35 videos but only if you pick old content newly updated. I would say that 35 tickets gets you about 7 to maybe 9 scenes but that's it.

The main reasons why I wanted to join this site is because they hire all the really hot new Euro girls and they make them do some truly hardcore stuff. Their choice of models is amazing. Just look at Lucie Wilde: http://www.eurobabeindex.com/sbandoindex/luciewilde.html
for a good example. You would think that good looking girl having hardcore sex would be a great recipe for success and I suppose to some people it is but I've come to the conclusion that the stuff LP does is so bad that they prove that it's possible to screw up a great recipe.
The reason I've come to the above conclusion is that whenever I watch a preview (obviously a full scene is impossible since I got shafted) of any of their scenes then there are recurring themes that ruin the scene. Here is the list in no articular order.
1-Hot girl is made to look as skanky as possible.
2-White sofa, white wall, bright lights make all the scenes look like they were meant for some kind of documentary rather than porn.
3-The sex is mostly all circus porn so you get weird positions, pile driving penetration of the girls orifices and a general disregard in regard to the model.
I'm kind of glad that I didn't actually get to download anything because I would have had to delete it all from my drives sooner or later.

I took advantage of one of those 1 day free memberships, and although there were some somewhat confusing offers to join other sites, if you are clever enough not to tick the boxes or not to click on the ads that you don't have to tick or click, and if you in fact cancel the membership before the day ends, you won't get charged for anything. And yes, you have complete access to their material and can download the pics and videos you like.
