Excellent review.
Nice overall view.
Nice details on the content.
My only suggestions or disagreements:
I didn't get the heartcore feeling from the sites or videos: Yes, the sex is mainly friendly, not rough or cruel. But it's mainly a guy and girl or a guy and two girls having fun while having sex. Not a lot of romance or seduction. So not heartcore.
Also, I believe that it should be pointed out that anyone joining the TMW network should join through the TMW site itself: because the site navigation and the search function work so much better at that site.
If you join through one of the satellite sites, the search function is limited to the site you joined through: that means the search only returns content from your join site, not from the entire network. That also means, that if you switch to a different site in the network, your search still returns only content from your join site, instead of from the site you are currently logged in to.
Whereas, if you join through the TMW site directly, the search function returns content from the entire network. Making the search function much more efficient, if you are searching for the content of a specific model.
Thank jumping in and doing a review after all the controversy with this site. I think any would be customer is getting all the information they need to make a buying decision.
Oh look, now exotics4me is playing the victim. Please feel sorry for him.
He gave a ridiculous review score of 58 and when he received push-back for that absurdity, he now wants you to pity him.
Can someone start a gofundme for him? Support exotics4me in his fight against webmaster persecution. Find it in your bleeding heart to give something.....anything.
The score of 58 is a laughingstock. I stand by that comment. It's an absolute joke.
The pseudo-intellect act here on a porn review site is also a laughingstock. I stand by that as well.
The proof is in the pudding, Doc. You're proselytizing to me, a time-tested webmaster and business owner for 13+ years, about things in which my experience has only proven opposite:
1. No downloads will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Untrue. AsianSexDiary has only grown and grown year by year since 2012. Never had downloads.
2. Higher price will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Untrue. AsianSexDiary has only grown and grown year by year since raising to $39.95 in 2015. The traffic, joins and member base is larger and more loyal than ever.
3. 1200x1600px still photos will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Untrue. See answer to #1. (also, 1999 called again)
4. A few hater porn reviews by you and your self-important friends will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Remains to be seen, but I highly doubt it. We've had them before. We'll have some again. Such is existence.
5. I'm going to be "Julius Ceasar" because I push back loudly on haters. - Fact Checked: History proves otherwise. If you knew anything about the beginnings of Trike Patrol from 2005 onward, you would know this. I don't expect you to, but I'm telling you. Ferocity and passion in the face of hate and doubt has carried me and this company quite far. Only those with tyrannical tendencies & malevolent motives will discourage it.
As I said, navigation and ads are things we're looking at. There is a member's area re-design coming later this year. It was planned long before your sanctimonious review was ever thought of.
We have 7+ sites to run, produce content for and promote, I wouldn't expect a shrink to understand such work.
We know who we are, what we do and why. We understand there will always be haters and naysayers. We won't spend much energy trying to placate such people.
It seems obvious to me that the PU staff should ban the webmaster from the PU site.
He is making repeated personal attacks on PU members.
Not in a professional manner.
Which should not be allowed to continue.
If he had behaved in a professional manner, it would be a different matter.
But this is a ridiculous dogfight, that detracts from the spirit of co-operation and friendship of the PU community.
The PU staff needs to see what is happening, and ban the webmaster. Before it gets any worse. Enough, already.
I saw the non Asian women as a plus. If you take and put back the points deducted for non Asian women, you get 68. Jook's review was for 69 and I was 70.
This review is most definitely in the range of scores from trusted PU members.
Ok, so you're counting "trophies" instead of Conquests. The "trophies" only signify girls who appear at least once. Many of them he meets numerous times for additional hardcore scenes.
So if you look at the Conquests page, you'll see 20 rows of 3, for 18 pages. That's 60 hardcore updates per page. 60x18 = 1,080 hardcore updates.
Yes, I admit the navigation, organization and structure in the members area needs work (and that is coming), but let's get the critical facts right at least.
That's a boatload of EXCLUSIVE content, filmed by an amateur guy, traveling all over Asia and beyond to film it, featuring girls you'll never see anywhere else, with a running, travel-blog storyline that is immersive and engaging.
Regarding the FlightClub - It's similar to any kind of online game experience - you don't have to spend ONE PENNY to earn the "miles". You earn miles simply by being a member. Keep your membership active, you earn miles. Comment, you earn miles. Submit trip reports or useful articles related to the site's subject matter, you earn miles.
You can accumulate enough to unlock some of the Rewards Videos fairly easily. And guess what? The rewards videos are another 70 (SEVENTY!) hardcore exclusive scenes with only the hottest Asian dolls.
That is more content than some sites in the Asian Amateur niche have in total. And this is just in the Rewards section alone.
You are not forced to buy anything. You still have full access to the regular weekly hardcore updates (2 -3x a week). You still earn miles as you go, without spending any money.
Large pics & Downloads - the 1990s to mid-00's called. They want you back.
Ads - Could there be one or two less? Sure. Ad Blocker is nice option for those that it bothers. Nobody is forced to click anything. There's no pop-ups, pop-unders or redirects.
What is "industry" and what is not? Well, "industry" sites are those using the same pornstars, producers, styles and site concepts over and over again. They use talent agencies, etc. Everything is a big production and the sites are either all owned by the same big companies (MIndgeek, Brazzers, etc) or someone in bed with them.
Non-industry are sites who are more independent, operating outside the gravitational pull of the "porn industry" at large. Content from foreign countries in Asia, non-professional girls, non-professional producers, and no strong business ties or alliances with the "Masters of the Porn Universe".
So the content will look and feel different that what you are used to seeing everywhere else. That is part of the draw. Few can go toe-to-toe with those big companies, in the more mainstream niches anymore. If you're so pre-conditioned to that style of content and website, you wouldn't appreciate or like Asian Sex Diary very much. It's understandable.
Please don't lower the discussion to grammar Nazi level. That's beneath us both. Rudolf Hess (the original grammar Nazi) would approve, but I doubt anyone else cares here.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and laugh quietly to yourself. Good lord.
Show me another amateur Asian site the comes even close to providing what is provided on Asian Sex Diary?
Not an American-based "asian american" pornstar site. Not a JAV industry site.
But a bona fide amateur Asian site featuring first-timers from all over Asia, filmed by an average guy. Updated with 2 - 3 hardcore scenes every week.....for 6 years running.
Where is such a site and what rating did you give it?
TrikePatrol (Filipinas) and TukTukPatrol (Thais) are great little sites in their own rights, but they're targeting a specific micro-ethnicity. They don't come close to providing the amount of content and updates Asian Sex Diary does. Trike has 500+ scenes and TuKTuk has 160 or so. That's a drop in the bucket compared to Asian Sex Diary. It's not even close.
Docking 10 for "non-Asian models"? Really? 15 - 20 girls out of 1000? Your math is way off there. The relative % of "non-Asian" models compared to the 10 pts docked for them being on the site is imbalanced to say the least.
Again, there's an implicit bias against "non-industry" content and sites which is quite evident here. The score of 58 is an absolute laughing stock joke.
I appreciate your take on this site. I hope you don't get flak from the webmaster.
I did not see a rewards system for shilling for the site. I would love to see what the wording is. It is my understanding that PU takes that kind of thing very seriously as a violation of policies.
Nice review that is different from mine,but gives an even lower rating.
I was a member for a very long time (started when they still added one new DVD per day) but dropped VB when I got tired of their lousy labeling. They have two major failings not mentioned in the review First is mis-identification of the talent. Some babes show up with obvious name errors. Seco0d is scenes where the models are not identified t all. The only good thing is when members see errors and include the info in the comments. But that doesn't help at all with the search function.
Dillion Harper, for example, has several scenes where she's mis-identified or not identified at all.
Thanks. I'd never joined any of the networks that make up Adult Time before, so I didn't know it was a standard feature for them.
A decade is a long time on the interwebs. I remember those days. But I also remember downloading individual pictures from sites before zipfiles were common, too.
Of course people have differing opinions about what is important in a website. I deliberately went into detail so readers can see what I took off for and what are plusses. I don't pretend to be an objective reviewer, never have and never will. I write reviews to try to be informative and helpful. To whatever degree they work, it is always a very individual decision on the part of the reader. Maybe some don't like my reviews or their tastes are very different. I have read many nicely written reviews of sites that don't reflect my tastes. I will never apologize for having a viewpoint or attack someone else for theirs.
I may be wrong, but I think the only reviewers that try to be objective are the professionals at TBP, Rabbits and similar sites. They are not really objective though as the sites get revenue from people signing up. I think PU is unique that way and that is what makes PU what it is.
I got Adult Time by getting 21Sextury. I get Evil Angel also and it includes LeWood. My same password lets me into Adult Time, LeWood, EvilAngel as well as 21Sextury. Confusing how this works.
beware their 4k access billing scam. They make 4k access look like an addon to your current subscription, but it isn't. It is billed to a different entity. And if you don't buy 4k access the day you sign up for bb, the 4k access billing will continue after you fail to renew or if you cancel your bb membership. They do not disclose at all, that you must contact a second billing entity to cancel 4k access as well. Just another way for bb to keep ripping people off. And honestly, all the models, male and female, are all available at any other site. BB practices dishonest billing policies.
My favorite site in the network is The White Boxxx site, which I feel is, by itself, worth the membership price.
The site presents many of its models in such a gorgeous way that they look truly amazing.
Far better looking than they appear at many other competing sites.
There is a video with Lena Reief at The White Boxxx, Her First Threesome, that I thought was very impressive. The visuals were outstanding. Lena Reif was like a wet dream come true.
I posted a comment back in January about the captchas at LetsDoeIt.
Even after being a member for several months, I still need to pass a few different captchas to enter the members area, after entering my login details.
But I still think the network deserves a score in the 90s, because The White Boxxx site, by itself, is that good. If you are able to pass the captchas test.
In The Crack used to be one of my very favorite sites, but a while back I noticed that I would be auto logged out by the site every 20 minutes. I went to customer service and asked what was going on. ITC responded that it was a security feature that couldn't be bypassed and was no big deal. I strongly disagree.
I don't use a download manager. So I typically sit at the computer and download a few dozen sets at a time. This will take a few hours. Having to re-enter my login credentials after downloading one video ad nauseum was so infuriating, I gave up on the site despite the fact that it is one of my absolute favorites.
I would still rank ITC very high in score, but would lop off probably 5-10 points from a score for the hassles of having to constantly having to re-enter my credentials.
I think the record for me was somewhere north of $50 USD. it may have been as much as $70. It was for a unique BDSM site so the costs and rarity supported the price. And the Canadian dollar was either on par with or higher than the US dollar so that helped. $40 seems to be a mental block for me these days.
Thanks for taking one for the team and trying and reviewing this network. It's definitely too bad that ATK Girlfriends is not included, but I guess ATK is trying to make that site stand out as specials, though they do include it in their email list 2-for-1 specials from time to time. I've checked it out then and they have some of the best, most intimate-feeling POV scenes around on that site. It's a genre that I get tired of, but it's very well done.
Thanks for the review. I've been a member of AT Kingdom Network a few times. It has nice content, but the lack of an overarching software platform for the individual six networks is a huge disappointment. You outline the problem well.
AT Kingdom Network is ridiculously overpriced for what you get. It's cheaper to join four sites individually. There's also so much content that you can't really get your money's worth in one month.
I respectfully disagree about ATK Natural & Hairy, as I find pubic hair extremely sexy, but to each their own.
