| Pros: |
Good quality images and videos
Popular,attractive US nude and porn models
Huge selection
Nobody is the least bit shy here. |

| Bottom Line: |
I have been a member of Twistys almost every year since about 2002. For some reason, TBP/PU decided to start a new listing when they changed the name from Twistys to "Twistys Network". I have a prior review from 2015 listed under just "Twistys" that is still fairly accurate but it isn't here because...no idea.
Twistys, Twistys Network and Twistys Hard are all the same site. It isn't a network at all. It has been this way for over a decade. No one site has material that isn't on at least one of the other sites.
This time, when I signed up using the Porn Users discount, I learned AFTER I joined that downloads of any sort cost extra. The "VIP" option was $39 a month at sign up. Once I was in the site, it was only $10 a month. And every time I login or click a page, I get a "One time offer" for access to everything Twisty's has to offer for "only" $59. Wow, what a bargain... If this were Met Art or Kink or any of the dozens of other true networks, I might jump on that. But it isn't. What they are giving you is the ability to download material that you should already be able to download, and access to mostly lower resolution archives that you should already have access to. It is a money grab and it sucks.
When I contacted support, they said there had been piracy so they changed the pricing. Nice try since Chrome plug-ins allow one to download all the videos on the site that can't be downloaded without paying extra. So by not allowing downloads they are actually creating piracy. Smart.
OK, enough bitching. Clearly I am pissed off at being treated like shit by the owners of this site. Let me tell you why I wanted to rejoin Twisty's in the first place.
Twistys is one of the last of the old 90's style creative glam sites. The photographers (or photography studios) are world famous folks that shot for Playboy and Penthouse. Names like Holly Randall, J. Stephen Hicks (Digital Desire Studio) and others. They know how to shoot images and videos so the material is generally top notch. The lesser known photographers here follow the teachings of these great, great photographers. So you get perfect sets, perfect lighting, perfect make-up, absolutely no distractions from the reason you are here and a come-hither effect that you only see on a few sites these days.
The other thing you find here is an old-school creative vibe that is reminiscent of Danny's Hard Drive from the 90's. Many sets have themes like politics, some kind of fantasy scenario or just general whimsy. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it doesn't. but you have to give them credit for being good enough to try things.
And lastly, the models/porn stars are nearly all popular, English speaking and typically very attractive. They strip, they play, they fuck, they masturbate. They do everything you want in a straight-style porn website. Many of them talk to you while they are doing it and the best of them look at the camera in a way that makes you think they are looking right at you. When it is good, it is very, very good.
Those things are what has kept this site alive for the last 15+ years.
Now, there are a few nitpicks.
Many of the porn stars here are on the more mature side. Although some are new and on an upward trajectory, many are beyond peak and a few are really well beyond peak.
Physical enhancements are plentiful. It seems that as porn stars mature, they decide or are coerced into doing things that ultimately damage their natural beauty. A few girls, like August Ames with her lip work, (Sorry, August) are sometimes uncomfortable to look at. Porn stars age. Some gracefully, some not so much. Both types are here.
Subscriber scores sometimes don't seem to matter. I first noticed this several years ago. The site has something called "Twistys Treats", which is a long, long standing monthly profile that includes an interview and several photo and video shoots. They used to pick the treat based on the highest number of subscriber votes. The highest voted model became the Treat. Then there were a few months where the highest vote DIDN'T become the Treat, then they stopped the voting. I think this may be a porn studio thing and not a subscriber thing. My guess is that Twistys is as much a venue for the studios as it is a site for subscribers and studios are paying to profile their stars. I can't be sure about this, but it FEELS like it. If you don't know the history, it isn't a huge deal, but I do, so it is to me. So I don't trust any scores now.
So...bottom line. Is Twisty's worth a visit? Well, if you haven't been here before and you like high quality glam-style porn, absolutely. It is still a very good site with a huge volume of excellent material. But if you are a returning subscriber, be prepared to be annoyed by the up sale and bait and switch tactics that they use here now. In other words, be prepared to be treated like shit instead of the valuable customer that you are. |

| Pros: |
Least expensive "VR" site on the net! ($9 a month!)(See below for why...)
Relatively large collection
Huge variety (B/G, G/G, BDSM, shemale, fetish
Full 360 degree videos
Many observational boy/girl sex scenes
File size are smaller because sets are short
The video player on the web page displays flat video. (because the videos themselves are not 3 D) |
| Cons: |
Videos are 360 but NOT 3D! (i.e not 2 channel)
Video quality is not up to the standards of most other sites. (not a byproduct of the 360 view)
Most videos are not participatory
Many observational boy/girl sex scenes
Downloads are slow
File downloads are COMPRESSED in RAR format??!!
Sets are generally less than 10 minutes
The video player on the web page is a little slow.
No release dates or scoring
No index
odd 90 second pause when watching videos on site |
| Bottom Line: |
This site has made it onto a few top 10 or top 20 VR website lists so I went to check it out. For $9 a month, how could I resist? .....$9 a month!!! The site is a collection of over 100 360 degree VR videos with a very wide variety of genres including solo, straight, lesbian, BDSM, etc. The down side is that the vast majority of the videos are NOT participatory, meaning you just watch and sometimes it is from a considerable distance.
Some specs:
120+ Videos
Videos are NOT 3D (only a single channel)
Most videos are high resolution
No dates or scoring
No models that I recognize (Alexa Nasha?)
When streaming, there is an odd 90 second pause before videos start playing. This is probably supposed to allow you to get set up with your VR in streaming mode, but if you are just wanting to see what the video is about, it is pretty annoying. It may also be some kind of process that turns the 360 degree video flat, but I'm not sure. I would MUCH prefer that the video start and just press pause if I'm streaming.
The lack of stereo 3D shooting is not immediately apparent with a headset on, but ultimately it is the downfall of these videos and probably this site. It IS possible to watch and enjoy these videos without 3D, but it is essentially like watching any flat video with your headset. This is why others say this site is not as immersive as some others.
The 360 view is interesting, but only a few videos really take advantage of it. Most of the time what is behind you is a wall or something else that you would expect to be behind you. A few videos have multiple girls masturbating or having sex with others in different corners, so you have to turn to face them.
Many of these videos seem to have been shot with a head mounted 360 rig. So the perspective is slightly higher than eye level and you can see the observers (your) body with a portion masked off with a graphic. The graphic is a little distracting, but I'm not sure what other options there would be.
The Download files are compressed in RAR format. In the several decades I've been downloading things, I've never seen that and actually had to pull out an old program to decompress the files. Once decompressed, the actual video is almost exactly the same size as the compressed file (because, of course, MP4 already compressed the file.) I'm not sure I understand why the webmasters do this since it doesn't really reduce download speed and is a royal pain in the ass to decompress.
Bottom line: The site is 360 but not 3D, which means it is not really a VR site...it is something....but slightly less than VR. Still for $9 a months, you are likely to find something here that interests you and that is a LOT less than many other sites with significantly less content.
I scored the site primarily based on the lack of 3D video. If these videos had been 3D, the site would have scored in the high 70s. |

| Pros: |
Relatively large collection of VR videos
(Roughly 270 videos!!!!)
Attractive, young actresses
Several popular internet actresses
Good quality videos
Several formats available
Navigation is pretty good
Thumbs-up scoring
Tags like POV, Anal, etc, for each set.
Videos are Lovense compatible (although I haven't had the pleasure of trying it)
They also have "interactive" videos, which apparently allow you to change the story line, options, positions, skip the foreplay, etc. in some videos.
Download speeds are very good. |
| Cons: |
Videos are not dated
Some Very troublesome and non-standard formats
Proprietary player is difficult to get working, is clunky and does not work consistently for the Vive. For example you have to use a keyboard or an xBOX controller instead of the VR native controls that come with your device. It was a total waste of time for me.
The alternative to the proprietary format is to choose "previous versions" and pull down the much larger H264 videos.)
The site doesn't really explain that the proprietary player is only needed (I think) if you want to run the videos in interactive mode, or use the related sex-toys.
As it turns out, the interactive videos don't work on the Vive anyway. |
| Bottom Line: |
Virtual Real Porn is among the best of the VR web sites with a relatively large number of high-quality videos. By themselves, many of these videos are as good or better than videos from the other top VR sites, but the site has developed a custom video player that, I think, is designed to allow you to use Cyber-toys like the Lovense for men or women. This is a pretty neat concept and if you have used something like a fleshlight, then these toys will probably add a dimension to VR that isn't there for other sites.
All of the videos have a fairly well-developed premise, secretary, student, friends girlfriend, whatever, and the videography is excellent. The girls are all pretty young, mostly fit, and of various nationalities. There are many well-known actresses here, as well as many that you've never seen before but want to see again.
Most of these videos start out in POV mode with the observer laying, sitting or standing. A few videos start out in non-POV with both the female and male actors in the scene, but then it switches to POV. There are also a lot of female solo scenes and a handful of scenes where you are observing a couple having sex. The POV scenes mostly eventually have the viewer in a prone position and the scenes often end in a hand job.
As for the technology, I have a Vive and eventually gave up on the proprietary player and went back and pulled down the H264 videos that will play on most platforms. These H264 videos are much larger than the "VP9" format videos, but they typically look better and do not have the bizarre doubling artifacts that some of the VP9 videos have. (You can find the H264 videos unser "previous version" in each headset selection. In this regard, the site really needs to improve both the selection of video of video formats and the consistency of video coding.
Navigation is pretty good, with the ability to select by model, likes or date, you can also search on some of the tags, like threesome or anal.
A simple introduction to the site explaining what options are available for the various headsets, what the interactive thing is all about and maybe a few other pointers would have been incredibly helpful.
Overall, I would probably have rated this site higher had I not spent so much time trying to get the proprietary video player running on my Vive. Many of the videos are among the best in VR and most of the actresses are quite attractive. If you are into VR porn, then you really need to add this site to your visit list. |

| Pros: |
Very high quality material, often outstanding.
Beautiful, natural models
Some Met Art models but mostly unique models
Wide variety of sets, locations and models
Part of the Met Art network but a separate site
Good range of image sizes to view/download
Excellent G/G videos
Fast download speeds
Excellent site layout
Navigation is identical to Met Art (Excellent)
Met-Art single sign-on means you can get here from there without having to log in.
Met Art network support is outstanding. |
| Cons: |
Nothing major to list here.
Perhaps a few of the newer solo sets are a little soft in comparison. (Mostly new models) |
| Bottom Line: |
Viv Thomas is primarily a lesbian site with a mix of about 80% lesbian sets and 20% solo sets within the more recent sets. Older sites include solo, boy/girl, some insertion, and lesbian. It became part of the Met Art network several years ago and Met Art has done a really good job of keeping it up.
For perspective, ALS scan is the other lesbian site in the MA network. The girls there are very young, very petite, carefree, happy to experiment and generally give off an almost childish vibe. Viv Thomas, on the other hand, is pretty much exactly what you expect from Met Art in a lesbian site. The women are much more refined, truly beautiful most of the time, and most of the videos and image sets are damn near perfect.
Stats (as of 1/20/2019. These are published on the site):
About 3125 photo sets
About 1881 videos
About 1142 models
4-5 updates a week
Sets are avalable all the way back to 2002!
All sets are dated.
All sets are scored.
Newer images and zips come in 3 sizes up to 3000x4500.
Videos come in multiple sizes and formats.
I haven't been a member of this site since Met Art took it over and I'm happy to say that although the overall feel has changed a little, the material puts this site up there toward the top of the Met Art stable.
Viv Thomas, now semi-retired, is an outstanding photographer and videographer who has produced a lot of award winning material for magazines, video production companies and on-line. His older stuff on this site is top quality for the time-frame and the models, damn near all of them, all the way back to 2002, are stunning and not at all shy. I'd say the older stuff parallels Twisty's or Danni's best from the period and the newer stuff is similar to MetArt-X in terms of showy photography. Nearly every solo set has spreading at least and every lesbian set portrays what I imagine is pretty genuine lesbian sex (i.e. these girls are not just standing together in the set, their fingers and tongues are inside each other.) The older sets include some world-class famous models like Sophie Moon, Veronica Zemanova and my all time favorite Marketa Belonoha. Newer sets include a lot of really popular MA models like Niemira and many beautiful models I don't see elsewhere on the MA network. What puts these sets apart from many others is that the early models like Veronica and Marketa are doing things like spreading that they never did in later shoots. And the later shoots are slightly different than what you would find on other MA sites. Make-up for example, makes some of the models like Niemira a little more alluring. Reall ynice job on all of this.
All of the videos on this site since about 2010 are at least 720P. Prior to that, they are 420p. Newer videos go up to 4k.
Navigation on the site is an exact copy of the main Met Art site with many user-adjustable options. Default image sizes, images opening in the same or a different tab, etc. I am very used to the MA navigation and may be a little biased, but I truly believe it is the best navigation system on the internet.
Met Art uses a single-sign on to their sites. Once you sign into a new site under it, you no longer have to log into that site individually. To facilitate this, there is a navigation pull-down that can get you to any of the sites in the network. There is also a "status" page that allows you to see all of your subscription details and you can even sign up for or cancel subscriptions right from this pull-down. This is a very nice solution to an often vexing problem.
OK, bottom line. Even if you are not a fan of lesbian porn, there is a LOT of excellent solo image material here dating back nearly TWO DECADES that you might like a lot. That includes nearly every big model name in porn photography over the last 18 years. The videos since about 2010 are also very diverse and mostly excellent. The only reason I won't give this a 90 or better is because they don't do daily updates, but given the inredible amount of material here, you could spend many, many hours looking through the old stuff on the days there are no new updates.
Look around for discount offers, but be aware that there are sometimes issues with the Met Art single sign-on when you try to sign up for offers made outside the network. If you find a low-price offer but the site doesn't list it because you already have an account within the Met Art network, contact support and they will work it out for you.
I highly recommend this site. |

| Pros: |
Exclusive, high quality videos and images
Extremely attractive, popular young models/porn stars
Mostly US models/porn stars
Mostly slender, fit girls
Good quality photo sets for each video
Once you join, login is automatic via token
Most videos are in 4K, all are at least 1080p
All sets are dated |
| Cons: |
Site is still a little small
Navigation is basic but there is a search function
Careful with the cross-check on sign-up (it resets by itself) |
| Bottom Line: |
Vixen.com is shaping up to be one of the best exclusive video sites on the Internet. I would place it up there with Wow Girls and the Passion-HD/POVD network in terms of overall production quality, but with primarily US models/porn stars. The ONLY reason it isn't a 90 is because it is not a very large collection yet.
All of the young, petite (mostly) US porn stars are here on this site. Leah Gotti, Naomi Woods, Kimmy Granger, Jill Kassidy, Mia Malkava, etc., etc.
Quick stats: (As of 4/4/2017)
72 sets (Video and photos)
41 models
All sets are dated
Sets come in multiple formats up to 4k
All come in at least 1080p
Photo sets are one size (2000x3000)
Sets and models are user-scored
Sets are user-tagged
Mostly straight sex with a few anal scenes
Mostly couples with a few GGB scenes.
Perhaps what sets this site apart, at least in my mind, is the nearly perfect make-up, lighting, sets, photography and videography. I've seen most of these girls elsewhere , but here they are absolutely fucking beautiful. And there are a few I haven't seen elsewhere that are just breathtaking. The videos are very well done with excellent framing and perspective (no across the room shots here!) And the sex is ACTIVE. I mean everything is bouncing or slamming or jiggling active. Absolutely not boring. They even through a little top-down POV sex into many of the videos. Yep, I'm done.
The images are also excellent. There is always an opening strip-scene and then shots mimicking the sex scene, but these are not just screen caps and are not just shot during the video. They are separate, photography oriented sets that could be on Met-Art except here you get spreads and cum shots. And the pornstar is almost always looking at the camera, even when she is in the middle of doing something to her partner. Very nice touch.
Bottom line? The site is still a little small, but it is totally worth the intro price you can find at the site and around the Internet. If you like to watch really beautiful girls getting their lights fucked out in well done, high quality videos and photo sets, then you simply must check this site out. |

| Pros: |
A few pretty good videos.
Some top models/porn stars
Good layout
Good navigation
All videos are tagged (180,360,male POV, Voyeur POV) and you can search by tag |
| Cons: |
Fully half of the videos are "Voyeur" POV, i.e. VR observational, not participatory.
Video quality varies a lot (upscaling?)
Video format varies a lot
Searching by tag doesn't always work.
Release dates are not listed (although x months ago is shown)
Nearly all of the photo sets are marketing related. A large number of the images include somebody wearing a VR headset...
Several videos are tagged "moving 180" which means the camera moves around a lot on these non-POV videos. (basically a regular porn video shot in 3d.) |
| Bottom Line: |
I think somebody decided they wanted to build a top-notch VR porn site so they put a lot of pieces together including a pretty good website. But then they ran into problems, at least initially, developing and acquiring content. The site has about 86 videos as of 12/28/17. I can't quite tell how many of each type of video the site has (because the tags don't work correctly), but if I had to guess, I'd say there are about 30 Male POV (participatory) videos, 30 non-POV (observational) VR videos, maybe 15 2D videos and 2-4 female POV videos. The last 5 videos offered are all "voyeur POV" meaning they are observational only.
Video length varies from about 10 minutes up to about 28 minutes.
File sizes for the Oculus/Vive range from about 2 gigs to nearly 6 gigs.
Download speeds are OK.
There is roughly one new video a week.
The site has some top-tier porn-stars here and they even have a VR video with Nina Hartley, who I haven't seen in a decade or so. Adria Rae, Chloe Amour, Riley Reid, Abella Danger, Megan Rayne and Adrianna Chechick, to name a few.
So, all of the pieces are there for this to be a pretty good site. But....it falls a little short in my book for a couple of reasons.
First, the videos vary quite a bit. Some are side by side, some are over under, some are 360 and some are 180. Many ore observational and not participatory which, no offence to those who like the voyeur style, defeats the purpose of VR porn in my book. And the biggest issue for me is that many of them are difficult to watch because they are either in lower resolution or where not encoded properly. I have an HTC Vive and only a couple of the videos I downloaded are in high enough resolution to actually enjoy.
My theory is that they purchase VR and other videos from independents who use different methods of filming and encoding. This inconsistency wouldn't be a terrible thing if the end result was a good quality video, but often it isn't. All of the great porn stars in the world don't mean much if you can't comfortably watch the video.
I have well over 400 VR videos now and I have not had any kind of viewing issue since building a new high-end computer a year or so ago. But some of these videos are hard to watch because of resolution or lens or encoding issues. So far, I've downloaded 23 videos (most of the male POV videos) and although the content looks OK, there is something wrong with the Vive versions. I have to say, though, that the 2 or 3 that ARE encoded correctly are very well done, so maybe it is just a Vive thing. Still, I can't really dismiss the poor quality videos because I signed up to use them with my Vive, so the review rating reflects this issue. I am also not into the "Voyeur POV" style, which is about half of the videos on this site.
If you are using something other than a Vive, this site is probably worth signing up to for a month, especially if you are equally into the "voyeur POV" and male POV video styles. They do have an A-list of porn stars here, but be prepared for a wide variety of shooting styles, lens types, etc.
I'll provide an update if anything changes in terms of Vive video quality. |

| Pros: |
Nice collection of excellent quality VR videos
Attractive, popular US and European models
Includes a large non-VR network
Includes several female POV VR videos
90% of these videos are particpatory.
Many 2-girl participatory videos.
File sizes are listed
VR videos are dated
VR videos are scored thumbs-up/down with a percentage.
Good file naming for VR videos.
Good download speeds |
| Cons: |
Not many negatives...
Navigation is basic
No photos except representative thumbnail for each video.
Most videos are shot in one position, prone, but there are some notable exceptions.
Most non-VR material in network is not dated.
Non-VR sites not quite as well done as VR site. |
| Bottom Line: |
This review and score is ONLY for the VR site, compared to other VR sites, but I will mention the other network sites as appropriate.
This was one of the first sites I joined when I got my HTC Vive, but somehow in the rush to try things I failed to write a review. I just re-joined the site on a $79 annual membership, which is a pretty good deal considering they publish VR 3 times a week.
WankzVR is a top-notch VR site probably among the top 2 or 3 on the Internet. The additional network is not quite as sophisticated as Wankz VR, but there is some good stuff there as well.
Stats for WankzVR: (as of 2/15/2017)
About 108 VR Videos
About 65 models
Updates every 3 or 4 days
Formats include Gear (H/L), phone (H,M,L), Oculus(H/L), Vive (H/L)
60 FPS typical
Highest resolution is 3840x1920
Typical video is about 45-70 minutes!!
Typical HD file size is very large, about 5-10 gigs. Some are as large as 16 gigs.
All videos are 180 degrees.
3D Video format is Left/Right
About 95% of these videos are participatory (i.e. you fuck her...)
Nearly all of these videos start with the male prone and he stays in that position through out the video with the girl(s) doing all the work. One unique, often pleasant thing to this site is that the girls often get very close to the camera and spread. Other sites spread, but usually not 10 inches from your nose. A few other sites offer "face sitting" but those scenes are considered fetish do not end in sex. Here, the close-up is practically part of the typical strip, show, blow and screw sequence.
The gawker in you will love it.
The girls are often quite beautiful and fit, but a few are just a bit more full figured, nicely curvy. There are pretty much no "mature" models here, which sets the range to the 18-25 up-and-coming porn stars. Make-up is usually well done in an American or Met-Art near-glam but not overdone style.
These videos are acted out a little more than most and always have a story-line of sorts...as much as you can in porn. Leah Gotti has a terrific scene in an acted-out casting-couch-like story. She comes in thinking she is interviewing for a non-porn scene, ends up stripping and getting her lights fucked out (very active scene) and leaves insulted as the guy says he'll call her. In another scene called "Dear Diary, Jackpot!" , two cheerleaders (Naomi Woods and Bella Rose) end up in a competition for Bella's boyfriend. The scene is really top-notch. Bella's jealous glances add a nice touch. These two scenes are probably among my top-10. Come to think of it, there are a LOT of two girl scenes where you get laid by both girls. This is much more satisfying than just watching two girls do each other.
The videos are well done and the sets are good quality but not overly luxurious or distracting. The girls ALWAYS seem like they are enjoying the scenes, which you can see through the acting. I can even say that some of the acting is good. The fact that these guys put together pretty good skits is a good indication that they are all having fun and aren't afraid to try new things. It reminds me a little of Twisty's in that regard.
The rest of the network is also good, but not quite as well done overall as WankzVR. The VR site feels different and is more up to date. The other sites don't all include dates and file sizes. I might do a regular Wankz review a little later.
Bottom line: For VR, WankzVR is a top-notch, best-of-class site well worth the $20 for a month or even $79 for a year! Go check it out! |

Site has been around since before 2005!
Excellent selection of top-tier, beautiful models
Exclusive content
Many of the most popular European models with a few specatcular exclusive models.
Several exclusive latin/ethnic models.
Models are open and uninhibited.
Lots of eye contact with the camera.
EVERY photo set has an acompanying video.
Navigation is generally very good
Multiple zip and video resolution options.
Multiple display options.

All sets, including zips and videos, are uniquely named. |
| Cons: |
Not much here.
Only 1 update every 2-3 days. (15 sets a month)
Navigation could be a little better.
There are a few "unconventional" beauties.
Sets are not dated on every thumbnail screen. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a mostly a solo girl site but there are a few things that make it different.
First, every photo set comes with a "behind the scenes" video. I'm usually not a big fan of videos taken during photo shoots, but these videos shed a little light on the models by showing personalities and interactions as well as shedding light on the photo shoot process. Any wannabe nude photographer should watch some of these.
Second, the girls in most of these sets are not shy in any way. We're talking legs-spread-so-far-their-toes-are-beyond-different-horizons open. Many of the sets are orgasm sets with spreading, insertions, giant two prong vibrators, etc. This is not Met Art. It's not even Sex Art. It is a place where many of those models go beyond softcore but still manage to look absolutely fantastic. Some of the girl/girl scenes are also very well done. Some of these sets make the girls look like sisters, but a few are really impressive. Clearly these girls are into each other, which makes it that much more interesting to watch.
Third, the photography. It is outstanding. Every inch of every model is in focus. None of that artsy-fartsy old-school soft-focus stuff here. Although they get pretty creative sometimes, you will NEVER see a model dressed like Marie Antoinette on this site. You will never see a set where the lighting is filtered through window blinds so you can't see the model. Every set...every inch...of every model...from pretty much every angle. Damn, that's nice. Now, there are occasionally instances where that is a mixed thing. Sorry in advance for the visual... There is one slender model with unbelievable breasts and an O-ring shaped labia. She actually lactates in one of her videos. Because they don't airbrush anything, you can see that her skin is fairly translucent so you can see veins. It's initally.....conflicting. In the end, the girls assets win and you will still want her, though. OK, enough of that!
Navigation is good, but it could be better. I think it is likely that the site just outgrew it. There are tags, but not user tags and you can't search on them. There are years worth of sets here but you can't, for example, go to the updates from June of 2014. You have to scroll back, sequentially, to get back that far. You can search on models and there is a model bio page for each model.
For sets, you pick a set and the page goes to the set with a cover photo, the video and between 45 and 90 images. Click on an image and it opens in a new "Viewing" window. Click on another image and the "viewing" window changes to the new image. Depending on the size image you chose, you can then click on the image to make it full size. You can always right click and open images in new windows if you want. This navigation style is better than most sites, but it could be improved. It would also be great to be able to more easily view the older material by allowing navigation to specific months. Of course, to do that, every set will need to have a date-stamp.
Oh, there is a blog section that highlights activities, new models and shoots. It can be interesting, but it ussually helps to show you models that are coming. Kind f a tease.
I have had an annual subscription to this site for a couple of years now and it is easily in my top 3 or 4. The site is huge now, so I'm scoring it up there with Met Art, Femjoy, Sex Art, Hegre and MPL Studios. The content is every bit as good as those sites.
I can't quite get a read on site stats because they are not published, but I will make estimates:
2378 sets/videos
about 250 models
I would have scored this site higher except for the minor navigation issues and the fact that it does not update daily. But the quality photography and videography still puts it among my top 3 or 4.
Bottom line: If you like solo models on sites like Met Art, Sex Art, Femjoy, JoyMii, MPLStudios and Hegre and are looking for something a little more hardcore, this is absolutely worth a visit. |

| Pros: |
Excellent selection of beautiful models
Exclusive content
A few of the most popular European models
Nicely done, tasteful site
Navigation is good
Available file size is up to 5600k
Most videos are in 720p. |
| Cons: |
Single biggest gripe is username/password management
Only one set added every other day or so.
Videos are mostly ho-hum. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've been a member here a couple of times and keep forgetting to write a review. It is up there on the list of erotic/softcore photo sites, but just a tad below the frontrunners. Why? That's the hard part to explain.
Probably because the site only updates a few times a week and the collection is not yet maga-large. They've got about 350 models and maybe 1200 sets compared to, for example, Met Art's 2,000+ models and 12,500+ sets.
No hardcore sex. Just solo and girl girl scenes. BUT, there is a reasonable amount of in-your-face viewing, insertion, etc. and the girls in the girl-girl scenes seem pretty much into each other. Those attributes differentiate this site from FemJoy or MetArt,
There is a broad range of action in the photo sets. Same are nude girl in the woods, some are nude in public and some are girl getting off using her hands or toys. There are also a few peeing scenes if you are into that. There are far more toys in this site than in, say, Met Art. Maybe twenty percent of the sets have a toy involved, but it depends on the model and the toys seem to be included more as a prop than a utensil to be used for a specific purpose. In fact, there are a lot of sets where fruit and other things are included primarily for aesthetics.
The model's interaction with the camera is generally good. Each set has a mix of images with eye contact but this, too, depends on the model. A few of the videos are somewhat interactive but most are not. Many of the videos are just working the photo shoots. The amount of fun in the videos and shoots seems to depend on the model. The energy or playfulness in the sets tends toward reserved...again a function of the softcore genre..and the model.
The mix of indoor and outdoor scenes is good. The girls are mostly petite young Europeans, but there are a few Americans, a few latin americans and several full figured girls in the mix.
All images come batched in 2 zip file sizes and one PDF file compilation (really odd...), videos are a few minutes long and generally in 720p. You can get individual images in 5000x4000 or larger, but these are not in zip files.
Now there is one other interesting thing on this site that I would never have even looked at if it were not for the comments of another reviewer. It's the magazine. It serves a similar function as the tease blog on other sites, but the range of topics is a little broader and more entertaining. What happens, for example, when you give a camera to a model and put her in front of a big mirror? From what I can see, she learns it is harder than it appears to be a good photographer. But sadly, much of the beautiful photography in the magazine section is zipped or catalogued and is not yet available in the photo-sets section. One of the magazine writer's recent obsessions named Emily is not on the rest of the site at all. So it is a teaser blog after all, I guess.
The single most annoying thing about this site is the password management policy. You cannot pick your own username or password so you get a random, impossible to remember username and password that can't be changed. And then on top of that, the site implements protocols that prevent your browser from remembering the username/password. Be SURE to create a PDF of the confirmation page (or a link to ccbill, the biller) if you ever want to get into the site again once you sign up. I understand they don't want passwords to be shared, but the guy who came up with this strategy should be flogged...and not in a good way.
Other annoyances:
-Navigation within a photo set, i.e. going to the next or previous image, is only available if you select the smallest view size.
-All of the images in a set are numbered 001, 002, 003, etc. That might not be a huge problem if you download everything in zip format, but if you want to keep only yor favorate images of a model, be prepared to rename everyting or keep multiple folders. Not cool.
-Although many of the images are available at something like 5760x4800 (that's like 7 feet by 5 feet at 72dpi), many of these larger images either aren't very crisp or clear or they have artifacts in them. I'm not sure why that is because a few other sites that have very large images don't have this problem. Maybe it is the algorithm used to compress or resize the images from the very large raw format they are probably shot in....I don't know. What I do know is that the large images can be dissapointing and they should work on fixing this.
Bottom Line: The site is definitely worth an annual visit. There is a lot to sift through, but once you do sift through it, there may not be enough updates to keep you for more than a month or two. I plan on coming back once a year or so. |

| Pros: |
Many top-notch and popular models
Excellent quality videos
Most videos are full 1080 HD
Good photo sets
Good navigation
Wide variety of models
Lets and lots of masturbation...
Pussy classification system is a hoot!
Lots of details about many of the models |
| Cons: |
Not much variety of activities or sets
5 point voting system seems a bit off
Sort order on many pages seems random
no extra large images (2800x1867 max)
Not much depth (i.e. most models in only one set)
Models are often a little...un-made-up.
Many models don't interact with the camera much |
| Bottom Line: |
Well, the best way to describe this site might be "Forget the foreplay, let's get to it!"
There is very little posing, no glam photography (i.e. not much make-up), not a single "naked girl in the woods" just a whole lot of "Here's a girl. Watch her masturbate!" And masturbate they do! Every single girl! Usually with multiple devices in each photo or video set.
This is also one of those sites where you are so drawn in by the masturbation scenes that you won't notice some of the other features right away. There are a lot of interview transcripts that seem reasonably genuine, but the translation from Russian seems a little too perfect to be 100% correct. They are entertaining, though. There are both "bonus" and an "extras" sections that contain additional sets, some of which are from other sites. Ah, yes, there is a LOT of cross selling advertising going on, but thankfully the webmasters have kept the ads to small banners except at the very bottom of some of the pages. The sites that are advertised are all quality sites and a few have "special offers" that one would not get if one were to go straight to, say, Twisty's. (The offers are about the same as the discounts the PU.com...)
There are a couple of bonus sites: "We like to Suck" and "Wet and Pissy". If that doesn't paint a picture for you, quit sniffing glue. Thay have basically the same layout and quality but are a little more specialized. Not really my cup of....whatever.
The webmaster and photo teams do a really good job of creating a genre and sticking to it. The scenes are well lit, well focused and generally good quality. They are all entirely indoors, apparently in a hotel bedroom or bathroom with a few scenes in a home someplace. In some of the sets, one of the videographers, who I'm pretty sure is not exclusive to this site, gets into the action a little by putting a finger in various orafices of the models. I'm not sure I like this style and can't tell if the models do either.
The models are for the most part, right out of ALScan or Twisty's. The top models here are on those other sites, too. Generally pretty, with maybe a few that are not. Oh, and the "real factor" is pretty high here. Make-up is minimal. Lot's of very shiny faces and plenty of pimples visible just about everywhere you can imagine. One girl has a boot shaped bruise right across her butt! If you like "real" this is the place for you!
The "acting" is OK. Female orgasms in porn is like watching professional wrestling. Is it real? Who cares! It's entertainment!
The stats, curiously posted across the top on th ehome page to make it really easy for me to reference, are:
Models: 507
Scenes: 640
Videos: 622
Pics: 39,138
That is not a lot of material compared to some other sites and it doesn't take a math wiz to see that over three quarters of the models only have one photo set and one video. The price isn't bad, though, so I would say it is worth it.
Navigation is pretty straightforward. You can sort models alphatically or on popularity...but the order of the models seems to change and the ranking system, wich goes to 5, seems a little narrow and somewhat inaccurate. There are two image download sizes and a handful of video format options. There are also a few page preferences like number of thumnails on a page. I would like to see larger image options and the ability to download things directly from the model or scene summary page.
OK, bottom line: If you are into solo mastubation videos, this site is certainly worth a visit. |

| Pros: |
Many popular, young, good looking porn stars and models (180+)
Exclusive, excellent quality videos
Wide vartiety of settings and scenarios.
Good Navigation.
Decent search functions.
Good download speeds.
Video downloads come in 8 sizes and newer vids are in 4k.
Very good separation of the types of videos here into 4 groups.
Erotica-X features sensual sex videos that are perfect for watching with your partner.
All videos are dated. |
| Cons: |
Not much in the con department:
Photo sets seem like afterthoughts.
Photos are only in one size. (1920x1280).
No zip files.
No keyword search.
Only one update a week, on average. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'll start by saying this is a quality site with a lot of great material from some of the best looking female porn stars in the industry. Although the site is billed as a network, it is one well integrated site with material broken down in to 4 categories: Hard-X, Erotica-X, Dark-X and Lesbian-X. These categories are fairly self explanatory, and they do a surprisingly good job of separating Erotica-X, which is mostly straight couples or threesome sex in more sensual situations (stuff you might watch with your girlfriend), with hard-X, which includes anal, DP, some huge dicks in some really small girls (i.e. Piper Perri) and generally more active and aggresive physical sex. Lesbian-X is all about the ladies pleasuring themselves and each other and ranges from solo stuff to some serious jamming and it includes some peeing and other stuff.
This site is pretty large. I count 1120 videos in all categories, about 578 of which are Hard-X, 85 are Lesbian-X , 274 are Erotica-X and 168 are Black-X. There are 200 female porn-stars listed and no male stars listed in the directory although they are listed on individual video page. Videos date back to 2013 and there is one new release a week.
I mentioned that Erotica-X is a really excellent collection of videos to watch with your wife, girlfriend or partner. I say this because they are well done videos, sensual, gentle, caring, very respectful of the women in the scenes (no throttling, rough sex, abuse of any kind). There are a few girl-girl scenes in Erotica-X, but they are really gentle compared to the fuck-fest in Lesbian-X. If you enjoy watching nice sensual sex with your partner, this is probably a really good place to find it.
Site layout and navigation are good. Models are listed, searchable and cross-referenced on each-video page. That goes for male models also (except for some gang-bang and gang-blowjob scenes where the male models are not listed). If you like a model, click on her name and all of the vids for her/him appear. You can create a playlist and you can add models, female or male, to your favorites. There is a thumbs-up/thumbs-down ranking for each video so you can see how they rate on their page, but there is no scoring or ranking system and there are no keyword options, although there are some "categories" on each video page that lists things like Hardcore, Facial, Fingering, Brunette, Blowjob, Anal, Tittyfuck, Big Tits, Pussy Licking, etc. This is a single threaded site, so if you want multiple windows, you have to use your keyboard.
I have to say that most of the sets, lighting, video and, of course, the actresses are beautiful. Somebody put a lot of thought into making sure that you aren't distracted by too much BS in video. The women have no or very few tattoos and, thank god, so do the men (I don't mind really well done tattoos, but some male pornstars on other sites are literally covered with them and that is really distracting. Not here.) Make-up is nicely done, too.
Probably the only shortcoming has to do with the photo sets included with the videos. Many of the images themselves are excellent, but the way they are provided, managed and named, with no zip file options, makes them difficult to download and keep. A few other sites do a much better job of this.
Bottom line: In an internet seemingly overflowing with high-production-quality porn sites, X-Empire is a pleasant surprise. The overall material may not quite be glam-porn like some other sites, but the material is probably comparable to Vixen or much of the Fantasy-HD network and far better than the run-of-the-mill porn site.
The main reason I didn't score this site higher is because they only release one new video every week or so. That makes it hard to stick around once you join for a month and get a chance to see what you want to see. That said, many sites in this category only release a set or two a week, so I don't think that is a deal killer-by any means. I woudl recommend that you visit this site soon if you haven't been here before and then check back every year or so. I took advantage of the PU discounted rate, and for the discounted rate, this is an excellent deal. Happy viewing! |

| Pros: |
The girls here are all beautiful, mostly Eastern European and very popular. If you like the Met-Art or FemJoy networks, you will also like this site. The site has evolved a little, though, and is now featuring several porn stars and starlets that you have seen elsewhere. The videos are well done, dedicated videos. The girls are natural, trimmed or shaved, and solid 9s on the combo body-face scale. Every image and every video is high quality, with no older shoots or videos to disappoint. Even the music selection and timing in the videos seems well done. |
| Cons: |
The overall quality of the images and videos seems to have declined slightly, or, at best, is not keeping up with the standards of other sites. The site format has not been updated in a while and seems a little dated. The number of images in each set has dropped and the highest resolution shots are often upscaled rather than converted from raw files. The site also relies heavily on all-white backgrounds, which was a thing a couple of years ago but seems a little tiresome today.
The site is now breaking out the photo sets and the video sets from a shoot, that used to be one release, into multiple releases. This allows the site to effectively cut the number of shoots in half.
Perhaps the biggest shortcoming that this site has is that it only updates once every 2-4 days. With several other sites updating daily, the potential that this site once had to really compete with the top sites has dulled somewhat. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a well done site. The photographers and videographers do a very good job of focusing on the girls..and I don't just mean keeping them in focus. The sets, lighting and overall environment combine to create excellent imagery. The videos seem pretty genuine and there are some very good videos both of solo girls, couple and girl-girl scenes.
Navigation on the site is good, allowing you to list by update, model names or model rankings. Downloads are fast. Image selection once in a set has changed since my last visit and no longer allows you to select size. Instead, you get a full screen image and a zoom button that allows you to zoom in considerably. Zips are available in several sizes, usually up to 2500x4000 pixels. Videos come in SD, HD and 4K.
The images are all focused, lit and cropped nicely with no odd or distorted angles, giant panoramas or distractions in the images. Perhaps the only personal thing is that there is a slight shortage of images showing the entire model in a natural position (i.e. without the legs or feet cropped). I'm not a foot fetishist, but I do think several complete images of each model once she is undressed would be nice. Also, several of the more recent image sets are very fuzzy at the high resolution, either because of compression, editing, or both.
Overall, this site could easily fit into the Met Art network as a sex-art clone, or in the Femjoy network as a Joymii clone. There are nicely done photo and video sets, beautiful models and the sex is comparable to the sites I mention above. But the dated format, not-quite-top-tier image quality and less frequent updates mean that this site is no longer one of my top picks. It is still a great site and I highly recommend it, though. |

| Pros: |
The girls here are all absolutely beautiful. If you like Met-Art or FemJoy, you will also really like this site. Although many of the same girls are here, most of them seem a little less inhibited and this is the only place I've seen were so many of them agreed to do sex scenes. Most sets include both images and videos (listed separately under each model's profile) and the videos are not just video of the photo session, they are all well done, dedicated videos. Both images and videos are some of the best quality I have seen on any site. The girls are natural, trimmed or shaved, and solid 9s on the combo body-face scale. Every image and every video is high quality, with no older shoots or videos to dissappoint. Even the music selection and timing in the videos seems well done. |
| Cons: |
Well...yes, there could be a little more content. The site, it seems, has only been around since 2008 or so. But in the balance between really good imagery and volume, I'm pretty happy here. I couldn't find a single set or even an image in a set that was just added to create filler. Quality beats quantity every time in this case. For the money, the site is well worth it. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a VERY well done site. The photographers and videographers do a spectacular job of focusing on the girls..and I don't just mean keeping them in focus. The sets, lighting and overall environment combine to create exceptional imagery. The videos seem pretty genuine and there are some really excellent videos both of solo girls, couple and girl-girl scenes. They've managed to tap every single exceptional European and American model. Go look at the model list and you may recognize many of the girls. Most are among the most beautiful in the industry. And, as I said, the crew here brings out the best in them...in every single set. Several of the models look far, far better than I've ever seen them on other sites. Perhaps it is, judging from the fact that many of the sets are in the sun or on an island someplace, that it seems these folks have a decent budget and can afford to take the models someplace really fun for the shoots.
Navigation on the site is good, allowing you to list by update, model names or model rankings. Downloads are fast. Image selection once in a set is good. Select the image size you want, click on the images tab and then any image you click on will open in the size selcted. You can then choose larger or smaller from within each image page (nice feature). Zips are available in several sizes, usually up to 2500x4000 pixels.
The images are all focused, lit and cropped nicely with no odd or distorted angles, giant panoramas or distractions in the images. Perhaps the only personal thing is that there is a slight shortage of images showing the entire model in a natural position (i.e. without the legs or feet cropped). I'm not a foot fetishist, but I do think several complete images of each model once she is undressed would be nice.
If you have been to to the top-tier photography sites like Femjoy, Met-art, Met-Models, Errotica-Archive, Earl Miller, Ron Harris, etc., then you owe it to yourself to check out X-art. If it isn't among the top-tier sites now, I sincerely believe it should and will be soon. |
