Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review of our site. I wanted to let you know that we do have the feature to change the number of thumbs on our photo pages. Just go to the my profile page and the option is there. It was a user suggestion they asked us on our message board and we did it for them.
Thanks
Captain

turboshaft's Review
from Denner:
Turboshaft does an extremely fine review here - and it's needed for this major site.
Have not been a member for some time for one reasen:
The models - in general - have changed. And how can that be?
Well, first: the models, their acting, the repetetive style of performance has changed this "good ol'" site for sure.
It used to be a favorite of mine: damn fine solo/mastubation performance - and some ok hc/bg scenes.
It's gone downhill since a lot of PUs were up there at 88-95 in scores.
The site has - in my opinion - become mediocre in all matters: models, acting, style:
I wish it's was when a buck was still silver, before the Beatles and Yesterday, before Chrysler went down, before Nixon lied to us all on tv, before microwave ovens - when a girl could still cook and still would - and when a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years like they should...Man, I'm getting old...
Sorry, folks...

Great review. As good as any I've seen. Lots of details, interesting opinions, wonderful bottom line summation. I'm thinking of hiring you to write my next review!
I also like that trick of using the reply function to extend your allowed word-count. First time I've seen it done.
This review is definitely in the best-in-class level. No joke.

turboshaft's Review from turboshaft:
(Bottom Line continued)
I enjoyed the photos more than the videos, but I frequently prefer photos over videos anyway. The site tends to be more about its photographic content than its videos, so I was happy with many of the photo sets. The problem was repetition, where models seemed to repeat things done by nearly every other model on the site; panty stuffing, lots of toys, striptease, some mild spreading (what they call “explicit nude”), and even more toys. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate toys; in fact, they probably keep a number of women from picking up guns and coming after us guys for subscribing to so many sites, but I do get tired of them in scene after scene after scene.
Technically speaking, the photos are of professional quality, though obviously shot by multiple photographers and camera models, as they release three new models a week. A few models had some harsh lighting situations, where it looked as if only a small flash was used, or there wasn't much setup involved, but these are only a few earlier models, so don't worry. Some girls had what looked to be a little too much Photoshop work, where parts of their skin had a soft focus to it (more noticeable in closeups), especially when compared to videos, where cleaning up a model's complexion can be prohibitively time consuming. Additionally, some shots just were out of focus, or focus was neither on the face nor on the fun stuff. There were only one or two of these per set, but still annoying.
Navigation is simple and easy, with a good search function that can also break down by body and scene content types, plus links to videos, updates, top rated models, and the complete model directory. My one complaint for navigation was on photo set pages where I could not change the number of thumbnails per page, and it was set around twenty. Some sets are not too big, but others are and you have to browse through quite a few pages, but it is really a small problem, as you can still change thumbnail and picture size.
I think this site is well done and can serve as a model of how to shoot and capture content, if not necessarily what type content to shoot. Again, I approached this more as a solo girl site, not a hardcore one, though I really wish they had more girl-girl content then the minute amount that I found. But even the softcore content felt weak to me, but maybe I just expect more than stripping and happy-happy-toy-toy action when it is just a girl by herself.

Since getting feedback from people here a long time ago, we have started balancing out the ratio and right now, the truth is we have a good balance and the new updates are balanced out between USA, Europe and Russia. However to the person that only likes Euro girls sometimes its not enough, same for the person you hates Euro girls so often their comments might lead people to believe differently.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he photoshops his pictures. The man is now 52, and he is the main selling point for his web sites and DVDs. So he definitely wants to look as good as possible, and if photoshop will make him look better in his photographs, why not?
He definitely has a lot of ego. But he is a porn star, and part of that means selling himself. Major movie stars have to sell themselves as well, when they promote their films. It's part of the business.
I admit my review was poking fun at his ego, a bit, but he does deserve respect for apparently making such a financial success of himself in the porn industry. He has not only acted in over 1600 titles, but he is also a porn director and producer. He also promotes/pitches products, which is what major movie and TV stars like Cher have done.
If you join a network with one of his sites included as a bonus, you might want to look through the DVD clips offered. Peter North has been acting in porn since the 1980s, and he's acted with a huge number of attractive models. He does not come across as an egotistic jerk in his videos.
He is a workout buff, and is proud of his body. But that is also self-promotion, and smart. I personally think that some of the promotion is overdone, but some fans are impressed by all of this. He is famous for having a large penis (in length and girth), famous for the large amount of cum he produces, and how far it shoots. His fans are both male and female. The female fans want to be on the receiving end of his sex, and the male fans want to be like him.
Separately, I gave his site a score of 87. That score is based on the network value of all 19 sites in the network, and not just on the single value of this individual PeterNorth site. If I was rating this PeterNorth site as a single, stand-alone site, my score would have been lower.
I tried to make that clear, in the BOTTOM LINE of my review, that I was scoring the site for its "network as a whole score, not as a single site by itself score". If my score was misinterpreted as a score for this site by itself, I apologize.
There might be fans who would rate this PeterNorth site by itself as an 87, but I'm not that crazy about him. I'm more into the female models he is bonking. :)

Hey there! Thanks for the comments.
1. There are no DRM what so ever.
2. Lenght varies. Most of the videos are around 3-4 minutes, some are shorter and a few are longer (up to 20 mins or so).

Thank you as well, turbo. Yeah - it's definitely worth a join.

Thanks. I don't have a lot of experience in porn videos. This was the first time I saw Rocco Siffredi, that I know of. Some of his videos are really interesting and good quality. Of course, you watch a lot of them, especially some of his series, they do get a little repetitive. But there are some videos at his site that I thought were extremely good, better than anything I've seen elsewhere.
If you ever join this network, which has 19 different sites, this site is definitely worth looking over. It's just a question of how much time you want to spend going thru the different videos to find what you think is worthwhile.
But there are several sites in the network that I thought had some really worthwhile videos:
peternorth.com
devilsfilm
silverstoneDVD
roccosiffredi
PU/TBP has a special price of $14.95/month for the network. But if you're lucky, you might find an even cheaper offer somewhere.

Thanks for the comments.
I doubt that anyone has ever joined a site I've reviewed only to find out that it is far more extreme than they prefer. I'm sure most people do more research than reading just one review. But I can imagine that some members here who prefer glamcore definitely wouldn't like a site like this.
And I definitely disagree with one thing you said: I think that an apple in Roxy's ass provides a lot of excitement! :-)

Thanks for the very in-depth review. I was thinking about putting a comment on about the site, but this reply will do.
I'm not a photographer, but I agree that the depth-of-field problem needs to be addressed. There are a some photos there that would have been great if not for the limited area of focus. That was a bummer for me, especially with recent material of Cherry.
But I also noticed some real improvements in the site since I'd last been there. The navigation is exemplary now. It's very easy to find things and get them. The overall design has been simplified, so you don't have to stop and scratch your head over what to do next, which I thought was the case with earlier designs. (There have been at least two.)
Also gone is that annoying login page, which required typing in a code that was particularly difficult to read. Now you just use the login box that comes with the browser. Have it remember the password and you're in quick!
So although I'm not into the toy play, I must say that the site deserves some recognition for making some important, positive changes.

Wow, what an excellent review! I wouldn't worry about the length; anyone who really wants to know what the site is like should summon enough brain strength and/or patience to read it carefully, because it really gives a thorough description.
I've been a member several times over the years. I'm a "toy hater," but a babe lover, and I've joined to get pics of girls like Euphrat and Peaches, though not very often.

turboshaft's Review from turboshaft:
(Bottom Line continued. Sorry my reviews are getting so long.)
Also Simon (assuming he does all the shooting) frequently shoots short depths-of-field, meaning not a lot of the photo is in focus, so focused face but not ass, or focused ass but not face, but not a lot of both if the model is on her back or stomach. Other sites do this but it seemed to be very apparent here for some reason and it can get annoying. Clean sets and proper lighting seemed to used in almost all photos though older shoots seem to have shots thrown in that should have been deleted, like everything is out of focus, a flash didn’t fire, or something else, but for some reason they are there. I also found one little problem that irritated me in some sets; dust on the sensor. This happens in digital photography in between lens changes when dust gets on the camera’s image sensor and shows up in every photo (usually in the same exact place) until cleaned off. It sounds insignificant but to me it just seems unprofessional when everything else is done professionally (lighting, sets, verifying the model’s age).
If your looking for videos you should keep looking as a lot of models have none and those that do may only have two or three, but not one for every photoset. Older videos are smaller, around 480 x 360 .mpgs @700kb/s, but again not in great quantity so don’t get your hopes up. Not once did I ever hear or see Simon or any other male help for that matter, so it makes for a lesson in restraint to all the hands-on two cents-adding douches out there who want to ruin my video, uh, ‘experience.’ The girls are often shy and quiet too, and since they claim the orgasms are never forced none of the models really get that vocal or overly physical when masturbating but they seemed happy and I wasn’t complaining.
If SS really get their act together and release bigger photos with the links improved and videos for every model then they can get a score in the 80s, but until then members will have to put up with the relative narrow reach of their current and fully archived content; almost entirely solo girls (girl-girl is rare), many of them amateur, armed with lots of toys.

Hey Turboshaft,
There isn't any boy/girl hardcore in the main content. The bonus content has a lot of boy/girl hardcore though, Silver Sinema if I remember correctly produces most of their bonus content. The main content is similar to say FTV and ALS. They have big insertions, anal masturbation, fisting, it's about as hardcore as it gets in solo porn. They also have some lesbian sets that involve everything from general lesbian sex to big dildos to anal play. If I was to compare it to a site it would be ALS since they do have the high quality photos and videos combined with the style of the action ALS usually has. If or when you try it out be sure not to miss the bonus sections. It's like having a bonus DVD site with HD content built into the main site.
