from pat362:
I assume that they get more people to join through the 1 pass for all site and therefore make more money than a more ingenious member like yourself does some research and discovers these little gems. I often check to see if one of the sites in a network is somehow less expensive than the main network sign up one or all the other. I have found a couple over the years and these are always great.

It's been a long time since I was a Twistys member.
The main focus, as I remember, are the photos.
They do have videos. But mainly softcore or midcore, from what I recall.
One positive for you might be that your skinny white girls are in the minority. The girls have medium or large (but not massive) breasts.
They do have a large selection of models, most of the better-known porn names. Almost all white. But not just teens. Many are in their twenties.
For $9.95, it's probably worth the fee.
Unless they charge you the higher fee in euros or pounds.

Like messmer says, it's great to see a new review from you. Your reviews give a personal flavor in addition to nice details.
The two main points for me that you make:
1. Mostly low quality bargain basement porn.
2. Hard sorting the good quality from the bad because there is so much bad quality.
I'm getting lazy in my old age. In spite of a low price and massive content, I no longer have the patience to search through the garbage to find the gems. And like messmer says, I've been spoiled by high quality videos to bother watching most low-quality DVDs.

Nice to see you do a review again, Squirrel. I always enjoy reading them. I, too, still miss American Vice for the same reason you do, not enough niche material on VB. But main stream is their bread and butter and they don't dare touch that formula because every time they issue an update that breaks the mold the mob goes crazy with condemnation and threats of unsubscribing. I am glad that your speeds are finally improving. Here in Atlantic Canada it has always been fast for me. I normally download at 2.35 MB/s (my top speed). Navigation within VB3 can be atrocious, though.
As to quality, I've given up. I can no longer stand DVD quality because most of it looks blurred in full screen, so I download HD contents only. It certainly limits my choice but for $ 12.00 a month I'm not complaining. As always, thanks for giving us your unique perspective. Wish you'd find more sites to do reviews on. :-)

Oh totally we discuss things here in a nice friendly way and it would be interesting to here a full representation of what porn fans like as a whole, I guess we all have different tastes in what we find attractive and our fav niches, it must be hard for porn producers sometimes to try and please all. I do think though that a filming style is more universal and done right will be liked by 90% of people.

Yeah nice review and you raise some good points I agree, there is quite a skill to making good quality porn and not just zooming into the the business groin zone all the film, if they no what looks great as you say just put some more work into making every movie like the previews, hopefully things will improve.

Informative review. Thank you.
I think the problem you have aired is endemic throughout the industry.
There is constant gynacology, rather than balance or eroticism.

from joekramer08:
nice review. I'm glad somebody else is speaking out about the annoying camera work and excessive closeups on these European sites.
I have a question - have they improved their camera angles in their newer videos? I was a member a while ago and have been wondering if they improved since I last joined. I recently checked out their new scenes on their tour page, and the camera angles seem to be a bit better based on the preview clips I watched, but it's hard to tell from just a 30 second preview clip.

Well, I'm always cautious about these when I visit such sites - so for me, it was not of a big deal, I just dechecked and good to go. never bothered me again. So I'm happy =D

Thank you 'Squirrel. ATK are at the top of my list and I therefore keep rejoining them. I do try to include enough information to enable others to make their own decision so I am glad it is what you were looking for.
OK, you like models you have not seen before. Why not look through their model directory, unless that would spoil the surprise for you, see if there are any you especially like the look of and I can see what hardcore they have, if any.
ATK sites are generally good for models you have not seen before because they do not have the standard porn stars that you find on, say, Twistys. Many of the models are true amateurs.

Thank you 'Squirrel.
Total - 6800 photo sets, 3050 videos, of which:
bg - 592 photo sets, 671 videos;
gg - 265 photo sets, 520 videos;
solo toys - 518 photo sets, 567 videos;
solo masturbation - 79 photo sets, 472 videos;
The remainder, making up to the total, are all the other kinds of solo softcore. BTW, I regard toys and masturbation as softcore too, though I have itemised those above in case you are interested.
I am a member at the moment so if you want me to search for any type of hardcore you are interested in, or for particular models, I will happily download some video or photos and attempt to evaluate it.

from xexbot:
Wow, this sounds like an awful site. I think I might have scored it even lower just from how you described the camera work in the videos. What's the point of having a variety of porn stars if all you see is their groins. It annoys me how easy it is for anyone to be a filmmaker these days because the technology is so simple now. Yet, there are still morons out there who can't even figure out how to work the zoom properly. Thanks for the heads up.

I tried for a week to download. I've been a member of many other sites and never had this problem. My settings allow it too. It was $30 wasted. I have no intention of improving their score. They deserve a 0 in my book. Glad it worked for some of you but I had nothing. Buyer beware in my opinion.

I agree with Squirrel.
A lousy preview means the site hasn't spent much effort in attracting any business.
If there are no PU/TBP reviews on the site with a lousy preview, that means no one feels the site is worth commenting on. OR, the site is too new to have any following.

As much as I regret what I have to spend on these sites, it does give me access to some older titles that I want to see. The "channel" idea really cuts down on the cost, and with 8000 titles on the channel I subscribed to it will probably be a good value.
Thanks for your kind comments.

To be fair, I think the amateurish lighting and camera work is kind of the point. Its supposed to feel like you are watching a actual party and not a professional porn shoot. The same with the home video site and the public sex site, they are supposed to feel "real". The other sites, especially the massage one, have great lighting and camera work IMHO.

Yes, they are mostly professional although there are some I've never seen before or since then again. Also there are many who were on these sites before they were everywhere.

Tree Rodent's Comment from Tree Rodent:
I have edited my original comment. You get three extra sites not four like I originally said. In my last reply I then went and typed five extra sites. The mix up came because Chicki Porn is Dolls Porn on WTF. Thankfully Frosty is more reliable than I am.
As an addition I would have hoped the camerawork would improve over the years, but the latest "Wild New Year College Orgy," added at the end of last year, on College Fuck Parties, has not only 9(!) parts, it has some of the worst lighting, and worst camerawork I have ever seen.

If this is the network I think it is, I say it's well worth joining at least once. Yeah, the camera can be shaky, lighting bad and sound is just a radio blasting next to camera but the content is quite fresh and unique. The whole scenes take huge amounts of space though.

Just a follow-up and confirmation, Squirrel. I just signed with them again and there was indeed a pre-checked cross sale to another site on the bottom of SegPays join form!

I was pleasantly surprised. TBP reviewed it and liked it so that gave me some confidence even though past PU reviews weren't all that favourable. It's certainly among one of the best studio sites I've seen and it clearly shows that Penthouse understands the internet. The biggest weakness (and this may be subjective) is that the quality of the videos looks lower than the numbers would suggest. One of their strengths (again this is subjective) was access to exclusive stuff from models I like that.
