Thanks for your comments, TheSquirrel. I appreciate that you took the time to write such a detailed response.
One of the biggest reasons I watch porn is to see the female model's pleasurable reactions to what's going on. I'm not so naïve as to think that most or even many models experience pleasure, but I'm sure that some do. One advantage to the post-scene interviews here and on other Kink sites is that the models are usually asked to describe what they liked best about the scene. It's a bit of a quirk I have but I like to go back and watch that now knowing that the woman is enjoying herself. Kink.com, maybe more than most porn, is in the business of selling fantasy. Yes, one could criticize me as having the fantasy to r@pe women, but that isn't the case. I first got hooked on BDSM several years ago through another Kink site and even though it pushed my limits I found it compelling to watch because the women were pretty adamant that they enjoyed what happened. And while I have nothing to base this on, I think it's a safe assumption that if Kink ever ignored a model's use of the safe word then that would spread and Kink would be done. Besides, Kink comes out of the lively and established San Francisco BDSM culture. I suspect that they'd be run out of town if they were abusing women.
And although I mentioned this before, I really do think that the fact that Kink attracts so many A-list models has to say something about Kink and about how they operate. I know the porn business isn't like it was even ten years ago, but an A-list model must still have many more options other than doing BDSM work if she didn't want to do it. I'm sure some A-list models were talked into anal using money. Like Lexi Belle and the upcoming Maddy O'Reilly anal scene (and both Lexi and Maddy, industry stars, have worked for Kink), but I highly doubt that a model could be talked into a shoot for this site with just money. There would have to be some interest, and a lot of trust in the staff and male talent. I simply can't accept that model like Chastity Lynn, for example, would agree to work for Kink even at double the going rate if she was truly afraid or unwilling to do it. She could shoot two 'heartcore' scenes in a day and make the same money.
Anyway, thanks for your comments. I knew this would be a controversial review of a site that even many PU members wouldn't like but since the purpose of this site is sharing information and I've taken a lot of benefit from that information over the past years, I'm compelled to give back.

I agree. For a while I downloaded 1920x1080 when available but I came to the realization that for most of my viewing getting 1280x720 made more sense and takes up a lot less room. But I refuse to join sites now that only have poor resolution, which means that I won't join a lot of sites with mostly older material, and after having been a regular customer of Videobox over the past seven or eight years I won't be going back to them either. Of course, with VB, the crappy resolution is just one of many problems there now.

Thanks for the comments.
Probably the biggest advantage to coming to TBP / PU for me is that it is now rare that I make a mistake and join a crappy site or feel cheated. The information here and at TBP at least lets me know what I'm getting. One thing I always look at now is the scene resolution. There are several sites I'd like to join but won't because the file resolution is too low.

LOL! I think that's the best possible description of that site. I find the models are far less attractive than with ECG and BRCC too.

It was pretty plain but functional even a couple of weeks ago.
I'm not a fan of Net Video Girls. The site is a mess and the videos aren't great either. I did download some stuff but not much of it.

Has the site been redesigned in the past few days? My membership expired last week and when I went back to the tour pages they look different now.

Good point. I collect videos and would be much more likely to hit the limit. As much as I'd like to join the network I'm getting too many bad vibes and will steer clear.
Thanks for responding to my question.

Yeah I much prefer Epoch, always fair and easy to contact with any problems that occur with a site. Sadly lots of adult sites though don't use them like they did and have their own payment processors that I hate cause I don't feel its a safe as buying via Epoch or even ccbill, least you know they are professional and not some company that make it really hard to cancel and use you card to add on sites you never signed up for.
I too used to love the shop, such a shame it no longer works.

Epoch overall is always a better experience for me. I'm just upset they deleted the "shop" page where you could browse every epoch client and sign up directly from epoch for whatever membership you wanted.
That said, how is this site? I noticed no reviews from anyone in over a year, but I'm finally interested in taking the jump. Curious if it's worth it at the 24.95 price point

I've always found that Epoch's conversion rates are far better than CCBill and that's why I'm always happy when Epoch is the CC processor
of the site I'm looking to join.

I agree, but even with limited anal scenes and MILFs I still found lots to like about it.

I was a member of the private site for one year at 2011. my biggest problem was that old scenes were in really poor quality and only some of the (30%) new updates were HD. If they would convert old movies to HD I 'd definitely sign again but seeing that it is not the case from the review makes me not to. honestly back then I did not find the new content as good as old ones. directors like woodman, kovi, gazman, lecastel can not be easily replaced.

I'm not glad to hear that you had problems, but it does give me some comfort to know that the site is the problem and I'm not. I really don't understand this practice. I agree that they may make a bit extra money by fleecing unsuspecting customers, but when a site offers good material (which Private does) and they are trustworthy, then I'll rejoin again and again and again. They make more money from me by being honest.
I think I'll be watching my credit card for a while. I wish I had taken a screenshot of the cancellation page...

I hope it does because I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I did. I have to give these guys some kudos because the scam is really not obvious while you are joining.

I've been a big fan of Private's stuff since I became aware of it 15+ years ago. I don't normally collect Euro porn but I've always made an exception for Private because of their high production values. (You'll notice that they somehow managed to get access to a cruise ship and shot several titles on board with no passengers. That's in stark contrast to so many other studios who won't even spring for a new couch!)
I was a bit reluctant to join because there were a lot of negative comments, but since those were quite old I took a chance and I'm glad I did.
Enjoy your membership. I know I am.

Right now, Bang Bros is featured on TBP home page with a rating of 90 yet, there are loads of scam billing complaints on this very same site. I guess scam billing is not an element of a site's rating. It should be. Apparently, the more important issue is whether TBP gets its commission checks for the referrals of its users.

It also makes it harder to know what's going on with BangBros when you can join through so many different network sites - if I had seen this TBP page and noted all the user warnings, I never would have joined. I'm almost tempted to cut and past my warning message on all the TBP listings for all related BangBros sites as well. Just a really bad experience here, and yes, TBP needs to block them.

I agree 100% with what you wrote. Like you, I'm an active and paying porn buyer and it really bugs me when I get fleeced. Guys like us should be seen as valuable customers and not mere marks in a scam. Dammit, I WANT to give these companies my money so they can continue to make more porn.

No need to explain, I understood what you meant. And I agree that Stagliano was able to produce bum-oriented movies that still focused on the who woman - including her personality. A lot of modern directors don't or can't do that.

Tree Rodent's Review
from rearadmiral:
Great review, sir.
Like you, I'm a big Butt Man fan. John Stagliano is one of the directors who invented gonzo porn but he was also able to produce some great features. "Butt Man's Wet Dream," as an example of his gonzo work, is still one of my all-time favourite movies. The scene with Heather St. Claire, Tom Byron and Steven St. Croix is probably in my top ten favourite scenes. While I'm not a big fan of feature porn, Stagliano's "Wild Goose Chase" is one of the best in the genre. The story is great (Joey Silvera is great in his role) and the sex is hot. I don't like feature porn mostly because so few attempts get both a good story and hot sex.
As you obviously know, Buttman has taken a different approach these days with his "Stretch Class" series. At first I wasn't a fan, but after watching some of it I became a convert and download whatever I can buy.
I'm also a big Mike Adriano fan, but I can see why some people don't like his stuff. But I also think that he and Stagliano can't really be compared since what they do is so different.
