Bottom Line: |
I never thought I’d see the day where I would sample a cam site! Part of it, for me at least, was that I rarely had any time to explore this niche in the adult industry. Thanks to the pandemic, I’ve been working from home and it has given me some leeway to sample a bit of this.
I think it is fair to say that an advantage I bring to writing site reviews for “traditional” adult sites is that I have a lot of experience with those. I have been subscribing to porn sites for over 30 years. That gives me something to benchmark a site against. I don’t have that level of experience with cam sites.
For the uninitiated like me, cam sites are a popular way to have safe sexual interaction with women from around the world. Rabbits Cams is a large site with thousands of models online at seemingly any time you want to chat. No matter what time of day or what day of the week I checked the site there always seem to be a lot of activity. A bonus for us here at PU is that the site is owned by our friends at Rabbits Reviews so we’re helping them out even while we’re having fun.
As with so many other adult sites, there is a broad range of models. It’s fair to say that the range here is even broader. Just about any age group, ethnicity or body type is available to interact with. Most of the models range between 20 and 40 years old, though there are some who are older.
When you click on a model, you see rates for a private session. If there is something you want her to do, you should ask her before you go private. Some end the session if you request something she does not like to do or even hear about. Others can join in a private session.
Gold shows are for a fixed time and a requested minimum. These are pretty much an introduction to the model, but sometimes they will do as you ask for extra tips. Some models get pushy with asking for tips, so don’t be surprised. Most shows are five minutes or under but are only about three dollars.
Some models offer a block price, where you can book, for example, 15 minutes at a 5% discounted rate. If you go exclusive, the rate is generally a lot higher. Many models do exclusive with cam to cam so you can cum along with her. She sees you and what you are doing while you see her and what she is doing. Tags can be added by members after a show ends.
A third option is to use a gold menu. This is a list of specific things she will do for a specific price. An example would be show breasts for $5. Some, but not many models offer a fan club, which has discounts and special offers for members. You can and should save models as favorites. With thousands of models available, this is a big help.
Models are from all around the world, but the countries with the biggest representation are the US, the UK, the Philippines, Colombia and Spain. A problem with many cam models is that their English is not great. Some use a cell phone or tablet to help with translation, but during a show don’t expect much chatting.
Some of the most interesting models are porn stars. There are 217 listed but only a few at any one time. There are some current stars, such as Ani Black Fox, Jynx Maze and Roxy Rae. One thing I really liked seeing was that there are many stars who have retired from mainstream work that participate here. Dana DeArmond, Sarah Shevon, Tera Patrick, Nina Hartley, Mary Carey, Eva Angelina, Lexi Belle, Christy Canyon and Amber Lynn all make appearances.
Porn stars are generally $10 per minute and many are a LOT more. It is easy to spend $100, $200 or even much more. Some porn stars have a minimum.
There is no way to sort by price for Gold Shows, Private or Exclusive sessions. You find out the prices when you enter the model’s room. Some models have rates as low as 49 cents a minute and most are under $3 per minute. Models that offer BDSM, sex shows or lesbian ones, role play or insertions etc. charge a lot more. Some models put on a great session and are inexpensive and some that cost multiples of the others’ rates are not as interesting. The cheaper rates are generally newer models, who don’t yet have a following.
Most models use HD, but quite a few do not. You can sort by HD shows.
There are some men who have shows and there are even some TS models. Most of the men appear to be geared towards a gay audience.
The site offers rewards for you to use to pay for time with the models, or for photos or videos on sale.
As a newbie to cam sites, it was better than I expected. I went in with a low expectation and was surprised at the high level of interaction that was available with the models. Obviously, this isn’t like a regular adult site so you do have to exercise some self-control when it comes to spending for additional services. It’s easy to get addicted and the urge to spend more is obviously hard to resist. Used in moderation, this can be a good way to enjoy online fun. |

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
- An opportunity to explore a rarity in porn, naturally hairy women.
- Very large site
- Great production values
- Many amateurs (which can be a negative too)
- Broad range of models – age, ethnicity, body type
- Solos/ girl/girl and boy/girl scenes
- Rare niche
- Supports download managers
- Fast download speeds
- Many download options
- Two video and two photo set updates per day
- The site is well laid out and easy to use
- Great for photo collectors too |
Cons: |
- No 4K option, for those who prefer that
- Very few known pornstars, mostly amateurs (this is subjective)
- Yes this is strange for me to say, but some of the women have too much body hair
- No TBP/PU discount
- Expensive
- Stand-alone site – no bonus sites |
Bottom Line: |
Full disclosure – this membership was a real stretch for me. I prefer models who have an intimate relationship with their razor but recently I’ve been pushing my own boundaries.
Obviously, based on the name of the site alone, it’s primary niche is unshaved women. I think a better description is that the women here are natural. The level of hairiness ranges from a thin layer to a curly mound that spreads down the thighs. Also, the hairiness doesn’t have to stop with the pubic area – we’re treated to other ‘natural’ areas on the female body too. You’ll find some hairy ‘pits and legs here too.
The site primarily offers solo scenes, some with masturbation and some with just posing. It isn’t hard to find lesbian and boy/girl sex scenes either.
I think it’s fair to say that the site can also be seen as an amateur site. A vast majority of the models are amateurs though I will confess that I have limited experience in this niche so some of them may appear on other sites too. But, it’s fair to say that you’re not apt to see your favourite A-list models here.
The scenes themselves aren’t scripted and usually follow a flow from clothed to nude. Some of the scenes end at teasing and posing while other go on to masturbation with fingers, toys and household objects. I like that most of the models aren’t heavily made up and wearing ‘porn clothes.’ Most start in clothes that you’d expect any woman to have. The ‘sets’ are usually just in someone’s home.
One other thing that the site does well is that the orgasms seem genuine. I’m not naïve; I think that in most hardcore scenes the woman’s orgasm is faked. Here, I don’t think they are.
One thing that I noted and really liked is that regardless of age or body type, the models here were genuinely into their scenes. It appears that these are ‘regular’ women who are really turned on by offering themselves to be seen as a sex object. That alone held a lot of allure for me. All women are sexy!
The site also offers something akin to BTS scenes as on other sites. Here, they are conducted as interviews. I’m a fan of BTS stuff and I liked the interviews here too. I liked hearing these women talk about themselves. For me, it made the scenes more intimate.
Speaking of the models here, and this is likely the case on most amateur sites, there is a much broader range of model than you’d find on a more mainstream site. Here you’ll find a range of ages, ethnicities and body types. I say this in other reviews but it really is applicable here: there is something here for everyone – with the proviso, of course, that this is a site that features women with natural body hair.
The site is large – huge even. There are currently around 7600 videos available and two more are added each day. It’s hard to argue against the value of the site with numbers like this.
The scenes are downloadable in three resolutions, 1080p, 480p and 360p. Bitrates on the 1080p are 6000 kb/s and are 30 fps. My preference would be to bridge the gap with 720p but that’s subjective. Also, most of the scenes are around 15 minutes long so the file sizes aren’t really an issue anyway. Some may wish for a 4K option, but I think that given that these are mostly amateur models it’s probably too much to hope that they or the director would have a 4K camera available.
The site is a rarity in that it offers as much value for photo collectors as it does for those who collect videos. There are currently 9100 photo sets with two more being added daily. The photo sets are downloadable as zips and the site even offers a feature that allows the user to customize the photo set. I’m not a photo guy so I confess that I didn’t use this feature and can’t really comment on how well it works. Three resolutions are available: 1024, 1600 and 3000 pixels.
The site itself is logical and easy to use. It relies on tags to assist in sorting the scenes, which is essential in a site this size. Some of the tags are unique to this niche – you can even choose to sort by the level of ‘hairiness.’ Given the range of scenes here, I think the site would do a service by added the ability to sort for stripping versus masturbation and others like that.
I found download speeds to be the same as I’d find on other mainstream sites. I had no issues with downloads and didn’t encounter any limits.
The cost of the membership is relatively high and there is no TBP/PU discount offered. But, given the size of the site and it being a rare niche I think it still offers good value for the money.
The bottom line is that while this isn’t my kind of porn, it’s well done for people who are into this niche. The site is easy to use and offers a lot for the money. If you like this niche you really should check out We Are Hairy. I don’t have much experience in this niche but it’s hard to think that there could be any better out there. |

Updated: |
12-21-18 06:50am (Update History)
Reason: Added information on updates.
|
Pros: |
- Innovative porn
- Best-in-class production values
- Only top models
- 67 DVDs / 300 scenes
- Part of the Gamma family of sites
- Fast speeds
- TBP discount |
Cons: |
- Doesn’t appear to be updating |
Bottom Line: |
(Full disclosure – I bought a membership here when TBP was offering a $5 subscription on Black Friday. The site had been on my radar for a while and the discount was too good to pass up. The only downside to the $5 membership is that it is streaming only so I can’t provide much information on downloads. But the site is also part of the large group from Gamma Entertainment so I can make some assumptions based on the standards on the other Gamma sites.)
The scenes on this site are hard to categorize because they don’t fit well into any one niche. The site isn’t like Sweet Sinner where all of the scenes are couples-oriented and aim to softer sex and it isn’t like Evil Angel where all the scenes have a harder edge to them. Perhaps the site’s tagline, “Twisted Psychological Fantasies,” best describes what’s on offer here. B Skow does a great job of blending different porn forms together to come up with something innovative and worth watching. Many of the DVDs have a common plot in all the scenes even though the scenes themselves can be fairly hard-edged.
The sex runs the spectrum too. You’ll find B/G, B/G/G, B/B/G, groups, lesbians and anal available. (As an aside, I particularly liked one innovate series called “Ass vs. Pussy” where the DVD features ‘only’ two models. Each model does one vaginal and one anal scene and then the fifth scene brings them together. I really like that concept.)
The scenes are among the best shot and edited that I’ve seen in a while. Everything about the scenes is professional. The camera work, in particular, deserves some mention. Whether it’s the director, B Skow, or the camera operator, that work is exceptionally well done. But camera work isn’t the only technical element done well. Even someone like me who has collected porn for three decades can still be impressed.
The models here are only the top ones in the industry. This isn’t a site for newbies or amateurs. Many of the biggest names in porn have multiple scenes here and many of them are able to show some decent acting skills. Models like Casey Calvert and Penny Pax who, in my opinion, have some great acting skills, are able to show those off here.
The site currently has 67 DVDs with 300 scenes in them. One downside to the site is that it hasn’t added a scene since June 2018 and they ‘Upcoming’ page is empty. But given the standard TBP discount price of $15 USD that’s still a great deal for what the site offers even if it never adds another scene.
The site itself is well laid out and follows the same basic layout of other Gamma-owned sites. If you’ve had a membership at Evil Angel or other Gamma DVD-based sites then you’ll immediately recognize how the site is laid out. Finding specific niches and models is easy.
Because the discounted membership I bought only allowed streaming I can’t comment specifically on downloads. But since the site is part of the Gamma network I have no reason to believe that this site wouldn’t use the same model of offering multiple resolutions. Other Gamma sites have downloads that range from 160p to 1080p. Oddly, the streaming for this site is lower resolution than is available at some other Gamma sites I’m used to – it ranges from 160p to 540p with 240p, 360p and 480p in the middle. But having streams capped at 540p may be part of the heavy discount I received.
The site offers pictures with each scene but I wasn’t able to download them in a zipped file. But, again, that may be a limit imposed only on the $5 membership I have.
As with other Gamma sites, I found the streaming speeds to be up to or better than what I see on other sites. I have no reason to think that the download speeds would be any different from the other Gamma sites I’m familiar with, which is to say that they are fast.
The bottom line? Even with no new updates in a while and none on the immediate horizon this site is well worth checking out for a wide range of porn buyers. It’s also a great value with the $15 TBP price offer. Others may not agree with me, but I’ve collected porn long enough that my attitude has changed; I’ll take high quality porn like this any time over sites with thousands of low quality scenes available.
UPDATE - My monthly membership is almost expired and I've cancelled my membership. There were no updates during the month I had an active membership. It would seem this site is now dormant. |

Pros: |
- Huge Network of 41 sites
- Wide variety of niches
- Many sites actively updating
- Varied models
- Four resolutions available for most downloads
- Logical site layout
- Several tools to sort scenes
- High production values
- Fast downloads
- Supports download managers
- TBP discount |
Cons: |
- Not all sites are updating |
Bottom Line: |
Full disclosure – I won this membership in the recent TBP/PU contest. I’ll still keep this objective though.
I find writing network reviews to be much more difficult than those for single-themed sites because of the size and scope that many networks have. In that vein, this is one of the most difficult network sites I’ve ever reviewed. To plagiarize Xander in his thorough TBP review, this network really does have something for everyone.
The network has over 2700 videos available over 41 sites. Each site has a specific theme though some of the sites share similar themes. There is glamcore, hardcore, extreme, bondage, lesbian, public sex, sex in vehicles and the list goes on. Some of the sites feature models from Spain, Italy and one site is dedicated to French Canadian girls.
I hesitated to join this network on my own dime because I don’t usually collect scenes with most Eastern European and Russian models. While there are EE/Russian models here many are from Western Europe. I didn’t include this as a con because for many people it won’t be one, but I found that some of the models were more amateur in that they don’t have the typical porn model look. Many of them are older, a bit larger and, in my opinion, not particularly attractive. But… keep in mind that my porn tastes are narrow and limited to young and petite. I also found that there were a lot of tattooed women and a lot of fake breasts. There are a lot of natural large breasts too. The good news is that even with my relatively narrow interests I found a lot to like and if your interests are different from mine I’m confident that you’ll find a lot to like here too.
I’d normally list the available sites but with 41 sites I’d run out of room. I’ll likely add that information as an addendum in a reply. Otherwise describing the scenes across the network is also impossible due to the wide variety of niches. The good news is that the site offers a comprehensive tour so a prospective member can really kick the tires before joining.
The scenes all appear to be exclusive to the network and I found that the production values on all of the scenes was high. These are professionally shot and edited scenes.
The network adds a new scene daily. It’s only recently that the updates are dated so I can’t comment on how the network updated in the past. Several of the sites on the network aren’t currently updating.
Networks as big as this one can be difficult to navigate but this one does a good job of enabling a member to break it down into bite-sized pieces. The sites are all dedicated to a specific niches and there is a ‘categories’ tab that allows you to sort specific interests across the whole network. Those individual tabs cover all of the usual interests and a few more obscure ones. You can also sort the network by individual models. There is a search function but I didn’t have a need to use it because I found the scenes easy to sort with the tools available. The network is so large it’s best to use the available tools to sort for what you want.
Even the oldest videos on the network are offered in multiple resolutions, including at least one HD offering. While there are some anomalies on the site the majority of scenes are available in 428x240 (650kb/s), 854x480 (2000), 1280x720 (2500) and 1920x1080 (6000). The resolutions seem relatively standard across the network but the bitrates can vary a bit.
I had no problems using a download manager to queue scenes but because I opted for the 720p files they were a reasonable size so I didn’t have to queue much. The download speeds were fast and on par with the best I’ve encountered. I went looking for a download limit and didn’t hit one nor did I experience any throttling. (I find some European sites seem to have speed issues at different times during the day but I didn’t experience that here.)
As I didn’t sign up for the membership I can’t comment on the billlers but the TBP page lists Epoch as primary and Segpay as secondary. Both of those are reputable billers so I wouldn’t have hesitated to join on my own.
One final disclosure – while I know some PU members frown on this I will likely post reviews of a couple of the individual sites. I’m not doing this to add to my review count but because several of the sites feature unusual and under-served niches that may be of interest to other members. There is, for example, a site that features a lot of public nudity and sex. That niche isn’t common so someone may be interested in having more information on that.
The bottom line? I highly recommend the network. It really does have something for everyone. If you like a particular niche you’re apt to find it here. If you like a particular look you’re likely to find that here too. With 2700+ scenes across 41 sites this is an excellent value at full price and an even better value with the TBP discount. |

|
Pros: |
- High quality porn
- A-list studio
- A-list models
- High production values
- High-energy scenes
- Lots of anal (yeah, that may be a con to some)
- 163 full scenes
- Updates regularly
- Lots of BTS (if you’re into that)
- Photosets available
- Fast download speeds
- Supports download managers
- Bills through Epoch |
Cons: |
- File sizes may be too big for some
- Some overlap with Evil Angel (but see explanation below)
- Scenes play automatically on loading
- No TBP/PU discount |
Bottom Line: |
Bam Visions is a site that is a little difficult to describe. It is definitely not a site for everyone since the scenes are very hardcore but not misogynistic. There is a lot of energy and enthusiasm brought to the scenes but it’s obvious that the models are enjoying themselves.
The site, and the studio by the same name, is the work of a collaboration between Mick Blue and Maestro Claudio. Mick performs in front of the camera while Claudio captures all of the action. Mick is a well-known performer and Maestro Claudio is a well-known producer and cameraman. Together they make a powerful team. Certainly one reflection of the reputations that both of these men have is that they are able to bring in the absolute best female talent working and are usually able to get them early in their career just as fans are really taking notice.
The scenes may come across to some as being a bit formulaic because many of the same positions are used but I don’t find that to be a detriment since the scenes all tend to be very hot. Like most gonzo porn the scenes usually start with the woman posing for the camera and showing off her body. The clothes tend to be sexy and even slutty in some cases, but unlike other sites that turn off prospective members with having models dressed in ‘girly’ clothes at this site the clothes are age-appropriate.
There is the usual foreplay and when actual sex starts it is always high-energy. Mick always gives a good pounding! I admit this is my opinion and yours may differ but it certainly appears that Mick clearly understands his role as a male porn performer. That role is to showcase the female talent and to not upstage her.
This could either be a pro or con for a prospective member so it is fair to note to that many of the scenes feature anal sex. The anal scenes are just as vigorous and energetic as the vaginal scenes. The anal scenes also contain ATM for those into that.
For those who like female on male rimming, approximately 25% of the scenes feature that.
There are currently 163 sex scenes and 151 BTS scenes on the site. The update schedule is a new scene added every two days. While that’s great, keep in mind that every second update is a BTS. The pattern is that a model’s BTS will be added and then two days later her scene will be available.
Prospective members should be warned that there is a lot of overlap between the scenes offered here and those offered at Evil Angel. Bam Visions is a featured studio at EA. But the scenes at Bam are different from the ones offered at EA in that they are released months earlier and they are edited differently at Bam. In one scene I noted that it was 15 minutes longer at Bam. A Charlotte Sartre scene was only a few minutes longer at Bam but it featured some toy play and Charlotte fisting her own ass at Bam. Obviously since EA also releases on DVD the internet-only Bam can show more.
One other difference between the scenes at Bam and the same scene at EA is that the file sizes at Bam are usually substantially larger than what is offered at EA. For example, I compared a scene where the lengths were very close. The 720p scene at Bam was 4.84GB while the same scene at EA was 1.33GB. The difference was in the bitrate. The bitrate was 12,000 at Bam and 3100 at EA.
The scenes at Bam are offered in six resolutions: 144, 240, 360, 480, 720 and 1080. The site makes sure there is something for everyone.
The site does offer some photosets. There are currently 84 photo sets available as zips in three different resolutions. The photosets were being uploaded regularly until this summer. It is fair to say, though, that this site is really a video site.
Two other great things about the site: the download speeds were great and it allows download managers.
There aren’t a lot of negatives. The search and tag functions work but aren’t perfect. I searched ‘rimming,’ for example, and only two scenes came up. There are definitely a lot more than that here. The functions work, but they may not be entirely accurate. The other minor negative, and this may not bother everyone, but I don’t like it when you load a scene page and it starts playing automatically. Bam does that.
More bad news is that the low price listed at PU/TBP is no longer valid. The monthly price is now $24.94. I was billed through Epoch.
The bottom line is that this is a high-quality site created by two men who have a lot of experience in the porn business. The models are amazing, the porn is class-leading, and the production values are high. Some may prefer to get the same scenes at a lower price on a larger site by joining Evil Angel and the fact that the (differently edited) scenes are available there means that there are even more options available. The site has very few flaws and, in my opinion, offers a great value for your porn dollar. I highly recommend checking it out. |

Blacked Raw

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- Great interracial site (using the narrow definition of ‘interracial’ as used in porn)
- Rough, raw sex (without being misogynist)
- A-list models
- Mostly B/G but some variety
- Male talent well casted
- Male talent hugely hung
- 71 videos available
- Updates regularly
- Allows download managers
- Fast download speeds |
Cons: |
- No TBP discount
- Some may dispute the narrow definition of interracial |
Bottom Line: |
Blacked Raw is the sister site of Blacked. The easiest way to describe the difference between these two related sites is that while Blacked features passionate interracial sex, Blacked Raw, as the name suggests, has scenes that are much rawer. Or, perhaps more succinctly, Blacked features couples making love where Blacked Raw features people fucking.
The site may be criticized for taking a too narrow approach on interracial sex, but in the American porn industry that term generally means a white female with a black male. That’s the formula that both Blacked and Blacked Raw use.
Most of the scenes on the site are B/G though there are also several B/B/G. There is currently one gangbang too (Riley Reid). Most of the scenes are played in such a way that they hint at an illicit relationship, such as the woman is cheating on her boyfriend or husband. This adds to the level of rawness in the scenes. Most of the scenes also begin with a short segment that looks (or at least is intended to look) like it is recorded on a cellphone. I find that this adds to the realism of the scenarios and the overall visceral rawness of the scenes.
The scenes don’t feature detailed scenario setups so the sex begins early. The sex isn’t rough to the point of being misogynistic (and I don’t even find most of it as rough as what you’d find at Evil Angel, for example) but it isn’t slow, passionate love-making either.
Most of the female talent is well-known and A-list. Because of the standard interracial formula in porn, a majority of the women are white with a couple of Latinas in the mix too. The roster of female models is a who’s who in porn. Body type varies so whether you like large or small breasts you’ll find lots of both.
I wouldn’t normally spend any time talking about the male models on a site but in this instance they are an important draw. In this regard, the site has done some excellent casting. I don’t know much of the male talent here, but I don’t know much of the male talent at any site, so these males aren’t well known to me. But I do buy a lot of porn and I don’t recognize most of them as being prolific performers. The casting is near perfect for the males since they all have a look that says ‘bad boy.’ This works with the usual theme that the white girl is cheating on her (presumably) straight-laced white boyfriend. The male talent sport a lot of tattoos, piercings and grooming that are associated with bad boys. One black stereotype that is perpetuated on this site is that black men are all well hung. These are some of the biggest dicks I’ve ever seen in porn. If for no other reason, this site may be worth a membership to see some of the biggest stars in the business today handling some truly massive cocks.
Most of the scenes have vaginal sex only, but for anal lovers there are currently seven anal scenes. Other sex acts that feature here are creampies and rimming. While not every scene has a creampie there are enough of them to warrant a mention. The site lists 25 rimming scenes too, though I can’t say for certain how they classify this. I’m a fan of f-on-m rimming and can confirm that there is a lot of it, though it is less prevalent in the newer scenes.
The site started 11 months ago and currently has 71 videos available. It also continues to grow with a new scene being every five days.
Right from the beginning the site has offered many resolutions for downloads. All are offered in 4K, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 480p mobile, 360p mobile and 270p mobile. I downloaded the 720p as the best compromise between quality and file size and I find the quality to look great.
Each scene does have some photos available (as singles or zipped) though the photo sets are small. To be fair, this is a video site so the photos are just an add-on to the videos. The photos vary in resolution within each set but they are all high quality.
Download speeds are high – they hit my maximum consistently – and I had no problem using a download manager to queue downloads.
Production values are excellent. The lighting, camera work, editing and sound are all high quality. Clearly this is a site run by professionals.
Perhaps the only major downside, and even this isn’t all that serious, is that the site doesn’t offer a discount for those of us joining through TBP.
The bottom line is that this site offers a lot to people interested in many niches in porn. The obvious market is for those interested in interracial scenes. But people interested in rough, raw sex and who like to see a model work with a well hung guy then this site also has a lot. As a fan of f-on-m rimming I’d even recommend it for that as there are a lot of scenes with this in it and many of them are great scenes. The site offers a lot of value and I highly recommend checking it out. |

Pros: |
- Another Mike Adriano assfest
- 100% anal
- Tons of ass play
- 13 exclusive scenes (with more being added)
- 54 scenes in total
- A-list models
- High production values
- New scene added every five days
- Logical site, easy to use
- Supports download managers
- Fast download speeds |
Cons: |
- May be a bit too ass-focused for some
- Some may find the scenes repetitive
- Currently a higher proportion of non-exclusive scenes
- Bills through Customercare.co
- No TBP discount |
Bottom Line: |
Any porn collector with an interest in anal scenes likely knows Mike Adrianos work. Some of us on both sides of the anal debate hold strong opinions and True Anal wont cool the debate down.
Just in case youre not familiar with Adrianos work, its fair to say that its more than just anal sex, it is ass-focused: the female bum takes a starring role here. Almost all of Adrianos scenes (the scenes here are no different) have Adriano doing some ass play with the model(s) and that almost always involves Adriano rimming her or them. If the scene has multiple women they will do ass play on each other including rimming. Toys are frequently used. There is usually tons of gaping. Adriano frequently licks the womans gape. There is almost always lots of ass-to-mouth too. If the scene has more than one woman there is almost always ass-to-other-girls-mouth and girl-on-girl gape licking too. Adriano likes to use vast amounts of lube to get himself and the girl covered in it and he has his infamous gape gloves to ensure that even with well-lubed butt cheeks the ass can be spread and properly gaped. Infrequently there is speculum use and enemas. We probably shouldnt talk about what Adriano does with the enemas In many scenes Adriano gets rimmed by the woman or women. Currently the proportion of scenes here with Adriano being rimmed is lower than on some of his other sites. (Though, admittedly, Swallowed has almost 100% f-on-m rimming.)
As in the case with all Adriano scenes, the women are the A-list of anal at the time the scene is recorded. The models are the best and they are showcased by some of the best lighting, camerawork and editing around.
So all that to say that this isnt Tushy, as much as I love that site too. True Anal isn't usual hardcore sex that has anal in it: this is a celebration of the female ass, and particularly the female anus. Am I a convert? You bet I am. I have been for years.
One valid criticism of Adrianos work, and it applies here, is that it can get repetitive. Adriano has a formula and he certainly sticks to it. But Ive said this before if you have a formula that works then why tamper with it?
Mike Adriano is most often associated with Evil Angel since hes been a star director there for a long time. I recently read elsewhere that he has ended that relationship and will now release his movies through Jules Jordan. The only downside I can see to that is that Jules doesnt offer a TBP discount as EA does.
In the past few years Adriano has opened several stand-alone sites. These include Perv City, Swallowed and now True Anal. The problem with this approach for fans is that we need to join multiple sites to get our fix.
The biggest problem with Adriano having multiple sites is that he launches them with non-exclusive scenes that are also available at Evil Angel. He did this with both Perv City and Swallowed. The good news is that, with Swallowed at least, all scenes for the past year or more have been exclusive to that site. Im hoping the same happens at True Anal.
There are currently 54 scenes available with 13 of those being exclusive to this site. The site began in May 2017 but it wasnt until November that an exclusive scene was uploaded and since then all new scenes have been exclusive. A new scene is added every five days so the site will grow quickly. (I have read that the non-exclusive scenes have some additional footage.)
The scenes are available as streaming (in three resolutions) and for download in four variations. These are: 1080p (12K and 5000kb/s), 720p (1500) and 360p (500). Both 1080p offerings look great. Screenshots are also available.
I had no issues using a download manager and I found that speeds were what I normally get with my connection.
The site is logically laid out and easy to use. It has a search function (I didnt use it. I usually just search anal but that seems redundant here) and uses tags effectively too.
The site really doesnt have a lot of negatives if you like this kind of porn. Two that are worth pointing out are that there is no TBP discount offered and that it bills through Customercare.co. I have never had an issue with this biller but they dont make it easy to cancel. They say they bill through one of the major billers but their name shows up on my statement. They dont send a confirmation email and the only way to cancel is to email them. I have never had a problem but I recommend sending an email well before your rebill date.
Admittedly, my recommendation is a bit subjective. I love Adrianos work and am really happy with this site. Ill be back over and over as it grows. Objectively though, the site has a lot going for it too. If you dont already have a large Adriano collection then the non-exclusive scenes wont be an issue and in no time the exclusive scenes will take over anyway. For ass-focused sites, its hard to ignore this one. |

Pros: |
- Truth in advertising throats get explored here
- Network access
- 650 scenes
- A-list models
- Updates weekly
- TBP discount
- Logically laid out
- Easy to search
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Older scenes have low resolutions
- Bitrates are a bit low |
Bottom Line: |
Throated is a great example of truth in advertising: you get what youd expect to get when you join this site, even if it isn't to everyones liking. Throated is part of the My XXX Pass network and you get access to all the other sites too. An advantage to satisfying your desire for oral-themed porn here is that the network offers Throated, which offers harder-edged oral scenes, and also offers Only Teen Blowjobs and Mommy Blows Best to cover other interests in the oral niche.
As blowjob sites go, this one is harder than many, but it isn't to be confused with the extreme sites that offer face fucking with a heavy dose of misogyny. Even if you dont like rough blowjob scenes youd have to admit that these aren't an attempt to degrade the model like some other sites offer. Its also worth noting that many, if not most, of the scenes were intentionally sloppy with lots of spit and lots of spit play. If youre really into that then this is the site for you.
Its fair to say that most of the models here are A-list. A large majority of the models on the site are American but there are some of the bigger names from Eastern Europe and Russia. One advantage to the site is that since it has been around since 2006 and uses mostly A-list models it may be an opportunity for a collector to get access to a scene or two from a favourite who has since retired.
The network is easy to navigate and the sites are too. Once youre in Throated you can sort the scenes in various ways. There are six scenes per page and all have a large thumbnail of the model and relevant data like her name and the date of the scene are also provided. Clicking on that opens a separate page with the streaming and download options. You can also search by model and by tag, though admittedly on an oral site most of the tags will be useless. Obviously, for example, on an oral site there are precisely zero anal scenes.
The site currently has 650 scenes available and a new Throated scene is added weekly. This may not sound great but remember that this site is part of a network and many of the other sites are being updated regularly too.
The site allows download managers and I used one with no problems. I found the download speeds to be on par with other similar sites and I didnt find that the links timed out quickly. I downloaded a lot on the first day of my membership looking to find a download limit and didnt hit one. If there is one, it is high enough to not be an issue for most.
One warning about the site is that while it started back in 2006 the file resolutions aren't such that a serious collector would be satisfied with the older scenes. From the sites beginning until September / October 2009 the only resolutions offered were 360p and 160p. As a collector, I wouldnt take up disk space with those files now. Those offerings were definitely not up to industry standards then.
After October 2009 things really improve. On offer after that are 1080p, 720p, 480p, 240p and 160p. Things improve again in mid-2013 with the addition of 540p and 360p. There really is a scene resolution for any preference or device. The only file type, however, is MP4. The good news is that the way the site grew a member has access to approximately 500 scenes with 1080p and 720p available.
Bitrates are a bit lower than Ive seen elsewhere but the scenes still look good on a 24 monitor and a 50 TV. The 1080p files are 6600kb/s, the 720 are 2700kb/s and the 540 are 1500kb/s.
Photos are available as singles or as a zip. More recent photo sets are 1920x1080.
The icing on the cake is a generous TBP discount.
Id normally conclude by saying that this site is recommended for someone with an interest in whatever the niche is but to do that here is just too narrow. I like the scenes that Throated has to offer but the network is more than just an oral site (even though you also get access to two other oral sites). There are other sites that feature sex, and one site that is unique and innovative Immoral Live. Ive reviewed that in the past and still really like what they have to offer.
So the bottom line is that I definitely recommend this network and this site. If you like blowjobs at the harder end of the spectrum then the title isn't lying to you. Its a well done site with some of the most beautiful women in the business from 2006 to the present. And with a TBP discount you can give yourself an early Christmas present. |

Pros: |
- Unique niche
- Zany scenes
- Fetish models
- Multiple download options
- Updates weekly |
Cons: |
- Slow download speeds
- Small (but growing) site
- Likely too extreme for many |
Bottom Line: |
Let me be abundantly clear: this is definitely NOT a mainstream porn site that will appeal to a broad audience. This site is about roleplay Master/slave hardcore oral.
The scenes here are difficult to describe but they are all oral-themed. If youre familiar with Assylum (the sister site to this one) youll have a good idea what to expect here. But where Assylum is focused on anal play and rough anal sex Slave Mouth focuses on the other end of the body. The scenes all feature some level of bondage, domination, humiliation and S+M. Its fair to say that Slave Mouth is harder-edged than most Kink.com sites because Kink scenes always have an element of play about them. Slave Mouth and Assylum come across as being more authentic and this is evident in how pain is used. At Slave Mouth and Assylum there are some very intense caning sessions. So be warned!
Some may also be inclined to compare Slave Mouth with another polarizing site, Face Fucking (formerly Facial Abuse) but I dont think that is a fair comparison. This may be just how I perceive it, but Face Fucking has a sinister, ominous feeling to it and it seems that the male talent are purposely degrading the women. Slave Mouth doesnt have that same sinister feeling to it even though it is arguably a harder site.
Two things that drew some criticism of Assylum are also present here. First, if there is a term circus porn then that term could aptly describe what is offered here. I like the zaniness of the scenes though I can understand why others may not. The second concern that some others have expressed is that the primary male talent, Dr. Mercies, wears a mask. I have no issue with this and I dont find that it detracts from the scenes at all.
One thing that I found unusual is that not all of the scenes have a post-scene interview to establish that there was full consent. Im not suggesting that some of the scenes didnt have consent but only that these interviews are almost universal in BDSM porn and they are noticeable by their absence in some of the scenes.
Also absent, for now at least, are A-list models. Given the theme here it isn't surprising that most of the models are more known for their fetish work but Assylum did attract some A-list models who were also known to dabble in harder-edged scenes. Casey Calvert and Penny Pax are examples. Im hoping to see some more mainstream models get the Slave Mouth treatment as the site grows.
The site went live only recently and is still quite small. There are currently just 12 scenes but one of those scenes (Felicity Feline) is a duplicate of a Slave Mouth preview that was uploaded to Assylum a while back. The site adds one scene per week. Some may see having 12 scenes for a monthly cost of $27USD as a poor value but Ill always choose quality over quantity and I find the site to be a good value. As it grows it will only become a better value.
The scenes are available in three resolutions: 480p, 720p and 1080p. I downloaded the 1080p scenes and those have a bitrate of 9000kb/s. A 4K resolution is also available but that requires paying for a premium membership.
The only complaint I have about the site is that the download speeds are quite slow. I usually see speeds of 35-45 MB/s with Internet Download Manager but only got 3MB/s here. If someone wanted the 4K scenes those would take a long time to download.
The bottom line is that while the unique theme here means that this site isn't for everyone, it is a good value for those interested in this niche. As the site grows it will become a much better value though I think it currently offers good value. I highly recommend checking the site out if you like this kind of porn. Ill definitely return to the site many times as it grows. |

Girls Rimming

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
- Excellent site in an under-served niche
- Beautiful models
- Rimming isn't just an add-on
- Site is updating and growing
- Mix of oral and sex scenes
- Allows download managers
- Multiple download options
- Bills through CCBill |
Cons: |
- Small site
- Updates are irregular
- No TBP discount offered |
Bottom Line: |
Girl-on-guy rimming is a favourite niche of mine and whole sites dedicated to it are rare. There are some, but most of those have stopped updating regularly. So when I saw Girls Rimming go live a while ago I immediately signed up and I was very glad that did.
One of the many things I like about the site is that the rimming really takes centre stage with all the scenes. A lot of the scenes are just oral with a long time spent on the rimming. Some of the scenes have sex and a few have anal sex too. But in all of the scenes the rimming is really showcased: it isn't just an add-on to a sex scene. The scenes definitely live up to the sites title.
Many current porn scenes have some f-on-m rimming (Mike Adriano and Mick Blue have a lot of it, for example) but those are mostly just add-ons to a hardcore scene and the camera angles are often poor. That isn't the case here: the rimming takes centre stage and the positions and camera angles allow the rimming to be on full display.
The site currently has 29 scenes available but it should be noted that five of those are compilations from the other scenes and one is a BTS scene from the others. Ordinarily I might criticize a small site for having compilations but I think they really work well here because the compilations also focus on the rimming. The compilations are each a collection of different rimming styles. There is face-sitting, spitting, milking, ass-licking and deep-tongue. The BTS scene is also fun to watch and adds value to the site.
The models appear to be mostly Czech though most of them are well-known pornstars (Nesty, for example) and most, if not all of them, speak English. Many of the models appear in multiple scenes, some being in as many as eight scenes. (Though many of the scenes have multiple models in them.)
The scenes are all pretty short (they are mostly rimming after all). Many are around 10-12 minutes long with the occasional scene hitting 20 minutes. Because of that, the file sizes are reasonable.
The update schedule is a bit irregular. There is often a new scene added weekly but sometimes there are two weeks between updates.
The scenes are all available in five resolutions (all MP4): 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p. I download the 1080p files since the file sizes aren't unreasonably large. Those come in at 1920x1080, 8000kb/s and 30fps. Subjectively they look great on both a 24 monitor and a 50 TV.
I used a download manager and had no problems. But with file sizes on even the 1080p stuff coming in well under 1GB I wouldnt have expected the links to time out anyway. I get download speeds that are on par with all the major sites.
The site bills through CCBill so you can join with confidence knowing that your credit card information is safe and that cancelling will be easy.
The site currently doesnt offer a TBP discount but as of today (April 1, 2017) there is a pop-up discount offer right on the site. They are offering a 50% discount of $15. I have no idea how long that will be offered. My advice is that this is a great deal.
The bottom line (ugh no pun was intended) is that if you like girl-on-guy rimming you really should check out this site. This is easily the best dedicated rimming site that Ive seen in a long time. For those of you who join soon (as of April 1, 2017) there is a great discount offered on the site. I highly recommend this site to anyone who shares this interest. |

Swallow Salon

|
Pros: |
- Affiliated with Amateur Allure
- Inexpensive
- Beautiful models giving incredible blowjobs
- Updates with one scene per week |
Cons: |
- Very small site
- Not enough female nudity
- Only one video choice |
Bottom Line: |
I know Amateur Allure has attracted some very different reviews. I fall solidly in the fan group as AA is likely my favorite adult site on the internet. So when AA posted an update on that site that had a slightly different look and had a watermark for Swallow Salon I immediately headed over there and joined too. I cant say for certain, but it looks like Swallow Salon is affiliated with Amateur Allure and done by the same guys.
Like AA, SS is formula-driven. Some people really dislike this but I think that if you have a good formula why mess with it? The premise is that the male talent is visiting a salon where beautiful women give amazing blowjobs and swallow cum. Also like AA, SS uses just one set in this case its an enclosed small space with thin opaque coverings and there are multi-colored lights outside to create an interesting effect. The male talent is usually seated for most of the BJ with the model kneeling in front of him. They usually swap to him standing at some point before the cumshot. Like AA, SS features some of the most beautiful models in porn (who are usually just beginning their careers so theyre still fresh) giving some amazing blowjobs. Most of these blowjobs transcend the ordinary and are closer to cock worship with lots of licking and good use of the tongue. There is lots of eye contact too. Every blowjob ends with a cumshot in the mouth and the model playing with it for a few seconds before swallowing it.
The biggest negative for the site now is its small size. There are only nine scenes available now. The site is growing slowly with a new scene being added every week. To be fair to the site, they do compensate for the small size by offering a low membership fee of $16 USD. I like the site enough that Ill just keep a recurring membership at that price.
Two subjective complaints I have about the scenes are that the models wear a short and sexy white smock that you might see in a place that gives blowjobs, but in most scenes we never really get to see the model without it. Yes, they will hike the short smock when on their knees, but with the stunning looks of the models here they really need to have the remove the smock for the latter part of the scene. The second subjective complaint is that unlike AA where the blowjob transitions to sex before going back to the blowjob for the finish, SS only has sex in one scene. That isn't too bad given the quality of the blowjobs, but personally Id like to see some sex too. With the model naked.
There is only one option for downloading each scene. The scenes are all MP4s with most of them at a relatively low resolution of 960x540. The bitrate is fairly high (pushing 7,000kb/s) though and the framerate is 29fps so those scenes still look very good. The most recent update was in 1920x1080 with the same bitrate and framerate so maybe all future scenes will be at that higher resolution.
I know many readers might question my score, but given the high quality of the scene offered here I think its justified. The low price offsets the small size and I hope the site continues to grow. Im usually willing to put my money where my mouth is and say that if I like a site Ill add it to my list of sites I rejoin regularly, but Ill go one step further here: I like this site (and the low fee) enough that Ill just stay a member. If you like sensual blowjob sites with beautiful women this is definitely worth subscribing to. |

|
Pros: |
- A great site in an under-served niche
- A-list models
- Part of the Nubiles.net network
- 85 exclusive scenes
- Streaming and downloads
- Lots of download options
- Photos available in multiple resolutions |
Cons: |
- Nothing without sounding petty |
Bottom Line: |
Im not sure how I missed this being listed as a new site at TBP back 18 months ago as this is something I should have noticed. The petite niche a favorite of mine and since this is part of the Nubiles.net family I had a lot of confidence in joining knowing that Nubiles makes some great porn and of the many times Ive joined there Ive always been a satisfied customer.
Given the name of the site it isn't hard to figure out that they feature some of the more petite models in the industry. When the site first launched in late 2013 they featured mostly European and Russian models but fairly quickly moved to featuring more American models. Im not biased against European and Russian models but porn is a lot about collecting for me and since so many European and Russian models seem to work under multiple stage names its harder to collect scenes from my favorites.
The site is a whos who of petite models. Dakota (or Kota) Skye, Emily Grey, Halle Von, Mary Jane Johnson, Riley Reid and Sarah Luvv all have scenes here. (And if youll allow a moment of obvious subjectivity, theres a Dakota Skye scene that will likely make it to my all-time favorite scenes list.)
Apart from using petite models there is no common theme in the scenes. Most of the scene set-ups are fairly standard.
The site currently has 85 exclusive scenes uploaded. The site doesnt update on a regular schedule, but it definitely is updating. Some weeks there can be two or three updates and then the site goes two weeks without one.
The site offers streaming but I dont use that so I really cant comment.
Downloads are available in five MP4 resolutions (1920x1080, 1280x720, 960x540, 640x360, 480x270) and in WMV format at 1280x720. I downloaded the 1280x720 MP4s and those have a bitrate of 4500kb/s and a framerate of 59fps. Those are better specs than I see at many similar sites but Ive learned to expect Nubiles to be better than most sites. Subjectively the scenes look great and I recommend that if you normally download only the highest resolution try the 1280x720 because you may be happy and save some disk space.
As with other Nubiles sites photos aren't just an afterthought. Photos are available as singles or in a zip. There are three zipped options: 5600x3700, 2000x1333 and 1200x800.
The site supports download managers. I had no issue with the links timing out but part of that could be attributed to the download speeds being very fast.
There really aren't any serious negatives to mention here. The only one that I can think of is that when I selected for anal scenes using the anal tag, some of the scenes had no anal sex in them. Thats hardly a deal-breaker. (For the record, there are about eight anal scenes here, one being the above-mentioned scene with Dakota Skye.)
I definitely recommend this site for anyone who likes petite models. Youll get access to the A-list of petite models in some well-shot and edited scenes. Youll have lots of options to download the scenes too. If this were a stand-alone site I might think that it is a good, but not great, value, but since its part of the Nubiles.net family it is definitely a great value even at full price. |

Teen Fidelity

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- 150 scenes
- Exclusive scenes
- Top models
- Updates weekly
- BTS available
- Photos available
- Support download managers
- Full trial
- Lower than average monthly fee
- Lots of options to view the videos |
Cons: |
- Ive worked on this review and honestly cant provide one negative |
Bottom Line: |
Teen Fidelity is an off-shoot of the larger Porn Fidelity site run by porn couple Ryan and Kelly Madison. While Teen Fidelity is smaller than Porn Fidelity it really does deserve to be understood as a separate site and not just a mere throwaway add-on. I joined just to get access to Porn Fidelity and Im a satisfied buyer.
The site isnt huge by what some may expect. It currently has 150 scenes available with a new scene being added per week. Sure, that doesnt sound like a lot to a jaded porn buyer, but what you get is some top quality porn with some of the hottest models in the business. The lighting, sound and editing are usually great and the site is well laid out, logical and easy to use. (There are some scenes where the lighting isnt great but it appears that this is intentional to give a more voyeuristic look to the scene.)
The site is run by Ryan and Kelly Madison. Kelly is a buxom MILF who appears in a lot of videos at Porn Fidelity. She appears in most of the earlier videos here at Teen Fidelity too (the first scene is dated September 2010) but by late 2011 she makes only rare appearances. Im obviously speculating here, but the target buyer for teen porn is different than the target buyer for threeway scenes with a teen and a MILF. Since Porn Fidelity has the teen and MILF thing covered, it made sense for Teen Fidelity to go after the all-teen market.
Some may see this as a drawback but Ryan Madison is the male talent in almost all the videos. Excluding the fact that I hate this man on principle just out of pure jealousy he certainly is good at his job. While many of the scenes are rougher than more mainstream porn (this isnt couples porn or artcore) he doesnt try to upstage the female models. It appears that he realizes that the customers are paying to see the women, not him. I appreciate his understanding of that because the same cant be said for all male porn talent.
There isnt a search function exactly, but there are pull-down menus that allow you to sort by the scene date, ethnicity, bust type, participants (Kelly or not), where the cumshot lands and whether the scene has anal. (For those who care, as I do, there are only seven anal scenes here, though the one with Dakota Skye is so good it should count as ten on its own.) You can also sort by model. There are enough sorting options that the lack of a search function is of no consequence.
The page for each scene offers a huge number of options. Streaming is available in high or low res. There is a trailer available for streaming or download. The main scene is available as an MP4 in 360, 480, 720 or 1080 resolution. I downloaded the 720 and those come in at 1280x720, 5100kb/s and 29fps. They look great. Prior to May 2012 there were also WMVs available in 540, 720 and 1080.
One thing I really like is that most (and maybe all) videos have a stand-alone BTS video for streaming or download. These include some interviewing of the model and some actual BTS footage.
Photo lovers wont feel left out (though this really is a video site). Photos are available as singles or zips (in two resolutions, 1728x1148 and 1175x781). BTS photos are also available.
I had no problems using a download manager and links were live for a long time.
The TBP review of the site says a user reported a 10GB daily download limit. That may have been the case at one time but I specifically went looking to hit a limit and didnt. If there is one, an average porn user isnt likely to hit it.
While I opted for the full membership this time, I have tried the trial membership and it had no restrictions. That was a while ago and may not be now.
The bottom line is that this site nails all three factors I look for in a good site: they offer great porn, they offer decent downloads and the site is well designed. Add in that these are exclusive scenes with top models and the site becomes hard to resist. When you factor in the below-average monthly cost of $25 the site represents a great value. (As someone who started buying porn on VHS, then DVD, a site that offers 150 scenes at sixteen cents per scenes is a great value!) I highly recommend joining this site. I know Ill be a regular here. |

Pros: |
- Unique, innovative site
- Zany, fun scenes
- Some A-list models
- Several options available for downloads
- Performer commentary available
- Site owners seem to be active on their message board
- Great lighting, editing and camera work
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Small site (but growing)
- A bit pricey (but still a good value)
- Definitely not for a mainstream porn audience |
Bottom Line: |
This site is easily among the most innovative sites Ive ever had a membership at. If there is another site like this on the internet Im not aware of it. Ill get the only real negative out of the way now since this site does so much right: as a new site its still small. There are currently only 12 videos available. The site updates with a new video added weekly. One potential downside to that is that some of the scenes are in two parts so you may have to wait to get the full scene. (For example, part 1 of the Penny Pax / Sarah Shevon scene was uploaded on August 4 and part 2 wasnt uploaded until September 15.)
I joined this site to see Penny Paxs scene and not really knowing what to expect of the site overall. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the porn and the technical quality. These guys know what theyre doing.
One thing I expected was that the scenes would be similar to Kink.com but I was wrong. Where Kink has dark and foreboding sets and the hint of menace, Assylum is bright and playful. Yes, I know they tout themselves as featuring rough sex, but it isnt all that rough. The most common BDSM traits are humiliation and bondage rather than outright pain.
The sites premise is simple: the models are all patients at an asylum to be treated for their perversions. The asylums theory is that if they overload the model with her particular perversions that will cure her. (The good news: it doesnt seem to work!) The staff are a doctor (an older, normal looking guy who wears a mask in all the scenes) and an orderly (a younger, more typical porn male). The scenes usually start in the doctors office with the model in some sort of bondage. Most scenes shift to a different set where the truly strange stuff happens (and I mean that in a good way). Whats so strange? How about a model with a small shovel handle in her ass made to dig in the dirt? Or Rose Red with her face painted like a clown and wheels tied to her knees, a steering wheel tied to her back and a horn in her mouth made to crawl around like a car all the while the doctor fucks her in the ass? Ive seen a lot of porn before but nothing quite like this. (I should add here that it really looks like the female models are having a lot of fun.)
Speaking of models, I was also pleasantly surprised that the site gets some A-list talent to appear. As I noted, Penny Pax and Sarah Shevon are here (though Sarah could be seen as a fetish model) as are Calico, Emma Haize, Casey Calvert, Rose Red, Marica Hase and others.
Other common BDSM techniques are also used, like caning, wax play, watersports and suspensions. Also, if you like female on male rimming youll see a lot of that too.
The technical aspects of the site are also well done. Videos are available in three sizes (1080p, 720p and 480p). 4K videos are available for an extra cost premium membership. I downloaded the 1080p which are 1920x1080 at 7000kb/s and 24fps. Subjectively they look great on both a 24 monitor and a 50 TV. An issue some may have is that the 1080p files are all fairly large with some at more than 3GB but smaller files are available.
Production values are high with lighting and editing well done. Id prefer if the camera angles showed more penetration but they are often side-on.
Another innovative feature available is a commentary soundtrack that can be toggled on or off. Its interesting to hear the models thoughts on whats going on in the scene.
The sites innovation doesnt begin and end with the actual scenes. There is a message board where members can make suggestions and comments and it appears that the doctor is active on the board and responds to messages. Having such direct contact between the members and the site owners is great and I hope the site owners continue to participate and be responsive to members suggestions. Another unique thing about the site is that they have a shop where members can buy props used in the scenes. If youre hankering for the torn clothes Violet Monroe wore in her scene ($250), the nurse outfit Savannah Fox wore ($150) or an autographed ass mold by Casey Calvert ($300) youre in luck. Youll want to act fast on Caseys ass mold though, because Im digging through the couch looking for money to buy that.
Obviously this site wont be for everyone. If your tastes run to couples porn then youre probably not likely to take out a membership here. But if you like unusual porn with a slightly hard edge but a heavy dose of zany fun then you should consider joining. Even the basic membership is a bit pricey, especially when the (currently) small size is factored in. But given the quality of the videos, the uniqueness of the scenes and the fact that these are exclusive make this a good value. I highly recommend anyone join who likes this kind of porn and Ill definitely be back many times as the site grows. |

Bottom Line: |
I was last a member here four years ago and while I liked the site and it had a lot of potential it was still too small at that time to justify it as a good value. I can report that the site is no longer small and it is now a great value for your porn dollars.
My biggest complaint about the site last time was the size of it as it was just new then. This is no longer an issue since there are now 1200+ scenes available. The site will continue to grow as a new scene is uploaded every two days.
What I found to be the sites best attribute last time hasnt changed: the quality of the models they hire. The models are all young (18-20), petite and incredibly beautiful. This isnt a site where youll find a lot of fake breasts and tattoos. Thats good news for those of us who prefer this type of model, but obviously is you prefer MILF porn then this site might not be for you.
Each scene opens into a separate page where the video can be streamed or downloaded. I cant comment on streaming as I dont use that feature, but there is only one resolution available for streaming. There are options for downloading though. The newer scenes are available in three resolutions/types: Mobile 480x272 500 kb/s, MP4 854x480 2500kb/s and WMV 1920x1080, 6000+kb/s. All play at 23fps. Older videos only have two options and the resolutions are a bit lower. I downloaded the WMV files to get the highest quality and I find them to be a bit more clunky than the specs would suggest. Theyre fine, but I have seen better with similar specs.
There are three distinct classes of scenes that can be sorted by using a tag: solo, girl/girl and boy girl.
Photos are also available as singles or zips. The newer photos are high resolution at 5760x3840. Older photos have lower resolutions.
One thing that I cant say for sure is whether these scenes are exclusive or not. I dont buy memberships to a lot of sites that feature Russian / Eastern European models so I cant say for sure. With the growth in the site though it seems plausible that they are buying material from other sources. But they may be exclusive too.
Like so many other sites featuring Russian / Eastern European models there is a lot of anal sex here. My rough guess is that 30 to 40 percent of the boy/girl scenes have anal sex in them. For someone who shares my interests this is a big plus, but for those who dont like anal sex scenes it could be a negative.
Production values here are high: the sound, lighting and editing all mark this as a professional site with high quality videos.
The site allows download managers and I had no problem using one to queue scenes. I found the site to have download speeds that I see at other sites and I had no problem with the links timing out. I also downloaded a lot in the first few days of my membership and never hit a limit.
The only negative on this site that remains, in my opinion, is admittedly purely subjective: very few of the models speak English. My reason for wanting models who speak English isnt xenophobia but merely that for me the scene set-up is often more important than the sex itself. I prefer when a scene builds some sexual tension before getting the girl out of her kit. Here any scene set-up is mostly lost on me since I cant understand the conversation. I admit that this is subjective and I havent factored this in with the scoring. It is what it is, and given the stunning looks of many of the models Ill live with it. A related complaint is that Russian / Eastern European models change their names more often than their socks. But there are good index sites available to help source other stage names.
A minor problem I had was easily resolved. I use Internet Explorer as my default browser and I found that the site caused my computer to crash very frequently. Every second or third page Id open gave me the Blue-Screen-of-Death. I switched to using Google Chrome and the problem disappeared.
The bottom line is that this site has grown into an excellent choice for porn. There is a lot of quality porn here and many different ways to access it. The models are stunning and the action is incendiary. The scenes are well produced. To top it all off, there is a TBP/PU discount that makes this an excellent value. If you like beautiful young models this site is definitely worth checking out. |

Pros: |
- Massage-themed network with American models
- Six distinct sites
- Network and sites well organized
- Five sites update weekly
- Lots of viewing options
- TBP discount
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Very little actual sex
- No independent biller |
Bottom Line: |
This is my second time visiting this network and most of what I wrote in my 2012 review of Nuru Massage still applies.
The biggest difference with this network now is how it is branded. Back in 2012 I dont recall there being an overall name to the site. If you joined one massage-themed site you got access to the others. While the access part remains the same, the difference is that the network now has a name: Fantasy Massage.
Most of the sites are the same as the last time I reviewed this network, but one has stopped updating and there are two new sites now. The originals are:
All Girl Massage 219 scenes, adds one scene per week
Nuru Massage 273 scenes, adds one scene per week
Soapy Massage 242 scenes, no new scenes added since April 2012
Massage Parlor 319 scenes, adds one scene per week
The two new sites are Milking Table and Tricky Spa.
Tricky Spa is the newest with only ten scenes uploaded. A new scene is added weekly. The theme here is a little harder edged and more sinister than the other sites. With this site the premise of the scene is that the woman is tricked or coerced into giving the male masseur oral sex and there is some reluctance. Im not sure how long this site will continue to grow since the user votes and comments are far more negative than positive. Not that I can summarize how other members feel about the site, but given the play on coercion it really doesnt fit in well with all the other massage-themed sites here where the interaction is both fun and sexy.
The other new site is Milking Table. It has 59 scenes and updates weekly. The premise of this site is a lot like the others, with a male customer and a female masseuse. The quirk of this site is that the massage table has a hole cut in it where when the male customer lies on his stomach his penis sticks through the hole and the female masseuse gets under the table to milk him. While it does seem a bit odd to watch a woman suck a disembodied cock, an advantage that it does have is that it does away with the lead up to so many cumshots in porn these days where the last of the scene is the male model jerking off for a few minutes before coming on the female model. Here the table requires that the female model be a finisher. Its a quirky site, but I subjectively I like it.
Most of the technical aspects of the network remain the same, and since it was well done before theres nothing wrong with that. The network is logically laid out, the sites are logically laid out, there is a model search page (for individual sites or the full network), there is a search function and there are tags too. The one difference I noticed is there are no longer any WMV files offered. The only file type now offered is MP4 and those are available in 160, 240, 360, 480, 540, 720 and 1080 resolutions. Streaming is also available in those same resolutions. I downloaded the 720p files and they come in at 1280x720, 4500kb/s and 29fps. Subjectively they look great on a 24 monitor and look fine on a 50 TV.
The site supports using download managers and I had no problem using one. The download speeds were what I usually see on porn sites.
Some miscellaneous observations:
As before there is a lot more oral action here than vaginal sex.
Anal sex is very rare.
The last time I was a member here it seemed that they were more Asian themed but that has changed too. Asians are certainly represented but the Caucasian models now outnumber them.
The scenes usually feature some of the better known U.S. A-list models working today. Many other massage sites feature Russian or European models so this is a good source to see your favorite American models in this niche.
For other dinosaurs like me out there the network acts a bit wonky with Internet Explorer so be prepared for some minor annoyances or use a different browser.
As with all other sites that are part of the Fame group of site, save your confirmation email as it will provide details on how to cancel. It isnt that they make it hard, but they sure dont make it as quick and easy as using a CC biller.
The bottom line is that this network continues to offer a great value. For the low discount price offered through TBP you get access to hundreds of massage-themed porn scenes with some of the hottest models in the business. The sites are well organized and offer lots of choice for both streaming and downloads. I highly recommend joining if you like this porn niche. |

Pros: |
- Rare sub-niche within BDSM
- Large site
- Many download options
- Streaming available
- Mainstream and fetish models
- Effective site layout
- Allows download managers |
Cons: |
- May no longer be updating
- Search function ineffective |
Bottom Line: |
Kink.com sites have a lot in common, and thats a good thing. The pros are significant while the cons are more detail issues on the periphery. Overall, any Kink site is worth the membership fee if you like the niche.
If this is the first review youve read of a Kink site be aware that Kink is likely the leader in online BDSM material. A key element to their success is that they seem to treat the models well. Both before and after the scene there are interviews with the model that make it clear that there is full consent and a safe word is in use. This is not BDSM porn focused on the pleasure of the Dom(me) in inflicting torment, but clearly focused on the subs pleasure in receiving that torment.
The general niche with any Kink site is BDSM, and the specific niche here is the use of electricity as a means of torment. Various implements are used, both externally and insertables, that cause the subs to squirm. In a majority of scenes, the electrical implements are used while the model is in bondage or restraints.
The site is laid out like all other Kink sites. There are a number of shoots per page and an easy way to advance the pages. The number of scenes per page is user-selected depending on how much detail you want.
Its a good thing that there is a simple design because the search functions are pretty dismal. It may have been the way I was using the functions, but I couldnt find anything I was looking for. And I found that the model search didnt work either. I was given a list of all the shoots a model may have, but I couldnt access it that way.
The site began back in 2002 and updated regularly until recently, so there is lots of material here. There are currently 537 videos available on the site. Kink appears to have been an early adopter of high quality videos because the vast majority of the scenes here are available at 1280x720. The highest resolution on the oldest files is only 640x480 but Im not going to criticize that since it was good back then.
Like other Kink sites, there are options for downloading the scenes. Streaming comes in four sizes and downloads come in WMV and MP4 formats. Within those choices are different resolutions. I downloaded the highest resolution MP4s offered and those came in at 1280x720, 5000kb/s and 29fps. They look great on a 24 monitor and look fine on a 50 TV too. Some may criticize the lack of 1920x1080 but I find that the increased file size isnt warranted by the increase in quality unless youre using a huge TV. The site permits download managers.
A highly subjective negative for me on this site is that it uses Dommes rather than Doms. Kink.com appears to be an affiliation of sites by different directors who work under the Kink roof. In this case, the site appears to be run by a popular director and sometime model, Princess Donna. Since its her site, she calls the shots and shes the Domme. A corollary to that is that there is almost no b/g sex here so dont come looking it. There are some scenes that have it, but there are likely less than a dozen.
Perhaps the biggest negative for the site is that it no longer appears to be updating. After regular updates for 11 years, the last update available is now eight months ago. Thats not to say that its dead, but for now it may be safest to consider that there wont be new scenes. There is often debate about this, but the fact that the site is no longer updating is only a minor issue for me if Im joining for the first time. With 537 scenes available at an average of about 45 minutes each I think this is an excellent value for the first-time member. Obviously this equation is quite different for a repeat member.
One difference here that I like, and I hope Kink maintains, is that they are honest about the lack of updates. The scenes are dated so anyone can see that there may be no more scenes added. But I hope that a prospective member would also consider 537 top-quality scenes to be great value. This contrasts with another Kink site, Water Bondage, where they have removed the dates and a prospective member could be misled into thinking the site was still active. Wired Pussy is a great site that doesnt need to hide the fact that it may be dormant since it is a good value anyway.
Like other Kink sites, this one got better as it progressed. The newer scenes have some creative bondage and implements, and while many of the older shoots had only fetish models, there is a steady stream of A-list porn stars lining up for some electrical play in the newer shoots.
The bottom line is that this is a Kink site and that means that all the good reasons to join are here: high quality scenes, top models, great production values, innovation and uniqueness, and an intuitive website with easy downloads. The fact that it may have stopped growing shouldnt deter a new member because at the membership price this is still a great value and highly recommended. |

Pros: |
- 24 videos
- 6 of the videos are casting interviews lasting just a few minutes
- Updates with a new full scene added per week (interviews arent counted as updates)
- Unique take on a relatively rare niche
- Beautiful models
- Great productions
- All scenes offered in six different resolutions
- Allows download managers
- Excellent use of tags
- Photos available (as singles or zips) |
Cons: |
- Im not a big fan of the editing style |
Bottom Line: |
Im a big fan of the casting niche; I find that when its well done it can be exceptionally hot. Yes, I know the models are acting, but when they are relatively new to the business and seem a bit nervous it adds to the heat.
Most casting sites follow a fairly simple formula: the model arrives, is told about the business and is then asked to strip and eventually to perform for the camera. Thats present here, but the site adds a twist that Ive not seen elsewhere: there is a casting director who is behind the camera and hes assisted by a beautiful model who is also trying out for a casting director position.
There are two broad categories of scene here: interviews with the prospective female casting agents, and then the scenes where new models are put through their paces. There are currently six interview scenes and these are fun to watch and involve some nudity. Theyre pretty short though, at less than five minutes long each.
As of today there are 18 actual casting videos. Those range from 15 minutes long to just under and hour, with the average around 35-40 minutes. Like most casting sites, they follow a bit of a formula, and thats not a bad thing. The prospective model arrives and there is some talk between her and the female casting agent, the model is talked out of her clothes and photographed and videoed by the female agent. The female agent gets partially nude, a male model is brought in and the female agent directs the action. (I should add, just to be clear, that the female agent is a porn star too and also very beautiful. All the models fit the Nubiles mold for beauty.)
This is purely subjective, but I see casting videos as a bit of a hybrid between hardcore and behind-the-scenes stuff. I find the editing style here leaves too much out. This is just a preference, but Id like to see more of the set-up and the move to different positions rather than an edit. I suspect that at least some of the motivation is to maintain the high standards that Nubiles has.
Two things that these videos really have going for them over standard casting videos is that the interaction with the female agent really adds a unique twist, and I really like the fact that the scenes break the fourth wall and we see the female agent taking photos and videos. The added bonus of this is that we also get two different camera angles.
Each scene is offered in five MP4 resolutions and one WMV. MP4s are 1920x1080, 1280x720, 960x540, 640x360 and 480x270 and the lone WMV is 1280x720. I downloaded the 1280x720 MP4 files figuring that theyd be a good compromise between quality and size. Bitrates vary, ranging from under 4,000 kb/s to over 10,000 kb/s. Frame rates also vary, with a few scenes at 23fps, some at 59 and the majority at 29. I wont pretend to understand why the site made these choices, but I can report that whatever the site does, it does it well: these scenes all look sharp and crisp with no pixilation with movement.
This is, admittedly, nit-picky, but for those who prefer a specific file type there is an issue youll want to be aware of. My choice was to download the 1280 MP4 files. When I went to each scene the download choices are listed at the bottom in relatively small font. The problem is that the placement of the links for the 1280 MP4 and WMV files are swapped in at least six videos. All you need to do is pay attention, but if youre like me and dont notice it until later youll wonder how you managed to click on the same place for each scene and get two different file types. Clicking on the second-from the left file option is usually the MP4, but in some scenes its the WMV.
The site updates with a new scene added each week. The interviews are short and dont count as an uploaded scene.
Like the main Nubiles site, this one uses tags to select for certain things you might be looking for in a scene. It may seem like overkill now as the site is small, but as it grows these tags will become a real advantage. The main Nubiles site does a lot of things well, but their use of tags sets a high bar and Im glad to see them use it here too.
I dont collect photos, but it appears that this site follows the same high standards for the main Nubiles site. Photos are available as singles or zips in three resolutions: 5600x3700, 2000x1333 and 1200x800.
The bottom line is that this is a small and growing site with a unique take on the casting niche. The price may seem high, but for the fee you get access to the full Nubiles site too, which is certainly a great value. The models are stunning, the production values are great, the site is well laid out and the scenes are hot. Id recommend the site and it is one that Ill rejoin once it grows more. |

Pros: |
- 580+ videos
- HD available
- Lots of download options
- Many lesser-known models
- Some A-listers early in their careers
- Beautiful models
- HD available in approximately 400 videos
- Owners are remastering old videos
- Remasters dont count as updates
- Regular updates
- Serves a few underserved niches |
Cons: |
- Daily download limit
- Some may find the scenes repetitive (see below for details) |
Bottom Line: |
I joined this following my interest in casting site. While this isnt a true casting site it is close enough that it made it worthwhile joining. The site follows a simple but effective formula: models show up to tape a POV scene with lots of oral and usually some fucking.
Before deciding to join the site I read the reviews here and at TBP. Two recurring comments were obvious: the scenes were too formulaic and many of the models arent amateurs.
While I agree that the comments on these two facts are accurate, I think how you see them is more subjective. There is a definitely a formula here: there is a short interview, the girl gets on her knees and gives the guy head (with various POV camera angles), there is some vaginal sex, there is more head with an oral pop shot, some cum play and a swallow. Then there is another shorter scene where pretty much the same action happens. There is nothing about this niche that requires such a set formula but I like it and it works. The goal is to show off the model and the formula works well to do that.
As for some of the models not being amateurs, this is also true. There are many well-known models here but that doesnt detract from the site. Some of the best known adult stars are here, but theyre early in their careers. If youre like me, this is a strong draw to the site. Also, even those models that arent as well known are often listed on index sites but that also happens with many other amateur sites too. Porn is fantasy based so if I get to see an A-list model early in her career Im still happy. To be fair, often when the model is an adult star the site makes note of that and doesnt try to hide it.
The site currently has close to 600 videos, with most around 20 mins long. The newer scenes are uploaded with a lot of choice. 95%+ offer streaming, and downloads are available in Quicktime, mobile (for phones and higher res for tablets), WMV (HD and SD). Newer videos are 1920x1080, 8,000-12,000kb/s and 29fps. Some others come in at 1440x1080 and 1280x720. Approximately 400 of the videos are HD and that will increase since new videos are being added (one per week) and the older videos are being remastered to improve them. This seems like a sure sign that the site owners actually care about giving the best product to their customers. The good news is that the site doesnt count the remastered scenes as updates, but the bad news is that the oldest videos on the site are low resolution and often only offered in Quicktime. I dont know how often remastered videos are uploaded.
Photos are offered and are available as zips, but this really is a video site.
Site navigation is simple, but on a simple site why complicate things?
The site supports download managers for queuing downloads, though TBP reports that download managers are blocked for simultaneous downloads. Links seemed to time out after 30 minutes or so, which is reasonable.
This wont be a negative for everyone, but if youre a fan of anal then there isnt much here. The site lists six anal scenes (which isnt accurate since there is at least one other that isnt listed), but only three of the anal scenes are actually exclusive.
The site bills itself as being mostly about oral, but they sell themselves short. There is vaginal intercourse in almost every scene and if youre a fan of lingering cum play, sucking after the guy has come and swallowing then youll appreciate the site too. One other niche that I like but is rare is where the guy stays fully clothed and the woman is naked. That happens in a lot of scenes here and was a pleasant surprise. One of the reasons that the model may stay clothed is to hide tattoos. Some models Im familiar with had clothes that hid tattoos, and the camera angles stayed away from any visible tattoos.
Im no fan of download limits and Ill never see them as anything other than a negative but in this case the site has at least set a reasonable limit or (nominally) 25GB per 24 hour period. While that is the stated limit, my experience was that I was cut off at anything above 22GB. I was also cut off at below 20GB which leads me to believe that any streaming also counts against you. The problem with that was that the only photos of the model were in the banner on the page so I often ran the first few seconds of the video to see if I liked the model. Doing that seems to count against you.
The bottom line is that this is an excellent site that has a lot to offer. While I dont agree with all of the choices the owners have made, most of that is subjective. Some people have complained about the price, and it is higher than average, but considering that this is an independent site with 580+ exclusive videos of beautiful models, the site is an excellent value. I definitely recommend joining, and Ive already added the site to my rejoin list. |

- Updates daily with one scene per day being added
- Videos available in streaming and downloads
- Videos available in multiple resolutions
- Photos available (singles and zips)

Bottom Line: |
This review isnt technically a review of Babes network but is of the identical clone, Babes.com. I really cant imagine why a company would have two identical sites, but they do.
This site is another in the artcore niche with hardcore porn done with a softer edge. If youre looking for slapping, throat fucking and lots of anal pounding, then youll want to look elsewhere. There is none of that here.
What you will find here are lots of scenes with beautiful women in solo, lesbian and b/g scenes. The site has offers the ability to sort by scene type, which is an excellent feature for getting to what you prefer. My preference is for b/g, so selecting for couples removes the solo and lesbian from what I can see. The hardcore b/g scenes all follow a familiar format with kissing, foreplay (for both partners), vaginal sex and the money shot. As is the norm with these kinds of sites, the scene lengths are approximately 20 minutes each, in keeping with the natural feel that the site is trying to create. The production values are high with good lighting and editing in the scenes. The lesbian and solo scenes offer what youd expect with scenes in those niches.
The models are a mix of American and Europeans. Some are well-known porn stars while others are lesser known. They are all relatively young (18-25) and most are petite. One advantage to sites like this that have more sensual scenes and also offer solo and lesbian is that they seem to attract newer models who may only do solo or g/g for now. Its a great opportunity to see some new models (like Emily Grey. Please, please, please, Ms. Grey, make the leap to hardcore!)
The site is fairly large with 189 couples videos, 95 lesbian videos and 179 solo girl videos available. The videos are all available as streaming or downloads. Streaming is available as RTMP or HTTP (I have no idea what that means) in 720, 480 or 320 resolutions. Downloads are available in 1080, 720, 480 and mobile resolutions. MP4 is the only file type offered. I found the 720p videos to be a good compromise between video quality and file size. The 720p videos come in at 1280x720, 4000kb/s and 29fps. Subjectively, they look great with no pixilation that some sites still have at higher resolutions.
The site supports download managers and I had no problems with the links timing out. The download speeds were what I get with other sites so they dont try to limit speeds, even at peak times. Updates are made daily with one scene per day being added.
The site offers lots of photos too. Currently there are 122 couples photosets, 95 lesbian and 179 solo sets. The photos are available as either zips or singles. The few photosets I downloaded all had a little over 100 photos. Photo resolutions seem a bit low at 1663x2494.
There are no obvious negatives to the site. There are ads and upsells, but those happen at other sites too and they arent obtrusive or distracting. I did find it a bit annoying that when sorting scenes you had the option to see what scenes are available on other company sites like Brazzers, Mofos and Twistys. I think the trade-off is that if you really like a model it gives you access to trailers and you may want to join another site if you like what you see.
The bottom line is that this is an excellent site with some great sensual porn available. The models are beautiful and the sex is hot. At the discounted price available through TBP/PU this site is a great value if youre looking for porn with a softer edge. |

Pros: |
- Large site
- No download limits
- Unique niche
- Good mix of amateur and known models
- Good mix of hardcore and softcore
- Good download options
- Streaming available
- Exclusive videos
- Updates regularly
- Lots of anal (if youre into that) |
Cons: |
- Expensive (but good value)
- Language issues with some models
- Camera work can be lacking
- Lots of anal (if youre not into that)
- Download managers wont let you queue multiple scenes |
Bottom Line: |
I had no real interest in joining this site until I started doing some research on it. Im glad I did because this is an interesting and well done site. Pierre Woodman is probably the best known director from the Private studio and hes responsible for a lot of high quality porn. Ive seen some of his casting videos on other sites, and as someone who is interested in BTS material this was a really good fit.
The site can be broken down into several broad categories: casting without sex, casting with sex, BTS and hardcore DVD scenes. Currently there are 1950 casting scenes, 731 hardcore casting scenes, 162 BTS scenes and 416 DVD scenes from various Woodman movies. By any measure, thats a lot of porn and it is especially impressive when you consider that most of it is exclusive.
The scene set-ups are frequently the same: the model comes in and there is some interviewing, there may be a break in filming while the model showers (off camera) and then there is some nude posing. The biggest difference is in whether or not the scene progresses to hardcore. A lot of scenes are hardcore. The pros of the hardcore scenes are that many of the models are new to the business and seem genuinely nervous. Theyre clearly consenting, but I get the feeling that many of them didnt intend to do hardcore on a casting shoot. If youre an anal sex fan then youll love the fact that Woodman is able to coax anal out of many of the models. The sex is hard without being abusive, and it is definitely hot. The cons for most of the hardcore scenes is that Woodman is a one-man show: hes the cameraman too. So for many of the shots the camera is on a tripod or Woodman is doing some (often) shaky POV. The camera issues dont usually detract from the heat though.
One definite drawback for many subscribers will be the language issue. The overwhelming majority of the models are European and many of them speak little or no English. This can detract from the heat, but thankfully most body language and sex are universal.
The videos are available in a variety of formats and resolutions. Obviously the older videos have fewer options. But if you only want HD scenes there are still lots available. The HD videos come in at 1920x1080, 8,000kb/s and 25fps. Those are impressive numbers. Subjectively they look great. 1280x720 and 960x540 are also available. Videos are also available in mp4s and WMVs, though the higher resolutions are only in mp4.
The site doesnt ban download managers, but at least with the HD material the site wont allow the scenes to be queued up for later download. This is a pain for a lot of reasons, but mostly because with the average size of a 1920x 1080 at about 3GB youll be hanging out in front of your computer for a while.
Streaming is also available, with three options for resolutions available.
Updates are regular, with several being added six days per week. This definitely adds to the value of the site.
Speaking of value, many will find the near-$40 monthly fee to be high. I prefer to think about value rather than just cost, and on those terms $40 is a great value for what you have access to. The bottom line is that this is an innovative site with some damn good porn with some beautiful women. Woodman is famous for his Casting series, and browsing through this site the viewer can see why: instead of being repetitive it is hot and sexy. Yes, there are flaws, but those are far outweighed by the positive aspects of the site. I definitely recommend this to anyone curious about this niche.
(An additional, extra cost add-on to Woodman is his Wake Up n Fuck site. This doesnt have a separate listing here but I recommend it even though it isnt cheap. The premise is essentially the same for each of the 99 scenes currently posted: Woodman lets himself into a hotel room where there is a sleeping model. He pulls back the covers and lets his camera roll over the models naked body. Then she wakes up and they fuck. The sex is usually extremely hot, the models are usually extremely hot too. In most scenes there is some anal sex too. Most of the scenes are shot POV style. I have to admit that the reason I joined Woodman Casting was to get a discount for WUNF just to get access to Asphyxia Noirs first anal scene. It was worth every dime. Do yourself a favor and add this is you get a Woodman membership. The Woodman technical specs listed above apply here too.) |

|
Pros: |
- Decent sized site
- Four bonus sites
- Lots of well-known A-listers
- Softer hardcore (may be good for couples)
- Good mix of model ages ranging from 18 to MILF
- Story-driven scenes (without a plot connecting all the scenes)
- Supports download managers
- Part of the Fame Digital family of sites
- Many of the models sport pubic hair |
Cons: |
- Very little anal
- If you dont like some niches you may be disappointed in the number of DVDs with that niche |
Bottom Line: |
Im a big fan of studio sites but I had never heard of Sweet Sinner Studio until I had an email offer recently with an offer that I couldnt refuse. If forced to describe what their niche is Id say it is like the love child of Evil Angel and Wicked Pictures. They have high quality production values with soft hardcore. You wont find a lot of rough sex here. The scenes arent gonzo in that they have a plot for each scene even though there is no overall plot running through most of the DVDs. The models are almost exclusively Caucasian but there is a good mix of ages. I prefer younger models (think Chastity Lynn) but someone who prefers older models would be equally happy with the site. If there is one (subjective) thing about the site I dont like its the lack of anal scenes. Those are very rare.
Another interesting feature that seems rare in porn is that a lot of the models (even the A-listers) have unshaven pubic hair. Many are trimmed, and there are many still bare, but there is a lot more pubic hair on this site then Ive seen in a long time. I prefer bare or trimmed on the younger models I like, but I know many PU members like older women and also like public hair so this may be a good reason for you to join this site.
The site currently has 85 DVDs uploaded. Most DVDs have between four and six scenes available. The first scenes were uploaded in December 2011 and the site continues to update by adding a new scene every four days. The practice seems to be to have two DVDs updating so if youre waiting for a new scene in a new DVD you might be waiting at least eight days for it.
The site is part of the Fame Digital family of sites, which is mostly positive. Fame offers high quality porn at great prices. The sites (including this one) use simple and effective navigation tools. You can sort by DVD, by scene, by star and by niche. Like all newer material uploaded in the Fame network this site offers a huge variety of ways to access the material. I cant imagine anyone being disappointed. Streaming is available at resolutions of 160, 240, 360, 480, 540, 720 and 1080. Downloads are also available in those resolutions but if you want 540, 720 or 1080 youll be limited to mp4. The lower res downloads are available as wmvs or mp4. They even offer a wide range of resolutions for mobile devices, up to and including 1080.
I downloaded only the 1080 stuff and it looks great. It comes in at 1920x1080 at 6800kb/s and 29fps. File sizes range from approx. 1GB to 2.5GB (for the 1080p files).
One drawback to any Fame site had always been that even though they supported download managers, the scene links timed out very quickly. In the past Id guess that timeouts of about 10 minutes were common if not less. Ive noticed that this issue seems to have been fixed so I purposely tried to find a timeout here. There is one, but it seems to be about an hour, which is far more reasonable now.
Photos are available but I can see no way to download zips. This really isnt a photo site though.
Membership also gives you access to Couples Seeking Teens, Doghouse Digital, Reality Junkies and Sweet Heart Video. Im not planning to review any of those so here are some brief stats:
Couples Seeking Teens: 12 DVDs of the Reality Junkies series by the same name. Updating.
Doghouse Digital: 121 Doghouse Digital DVDs. Updating. Mix of standard porn, MILF, cuckold scenes, some lesbian, and some pegging
Reality Junkies: 91 Reality Junkies DVDs (including those on Couples Seeking Teens). Mix of standard porn with a lot of MILF material.
Sweet Heart Video: 119 videos from the studio of that name. All-girl material. Updating
A common complaint that Ive read recently about any Fame site is that cancelling is more difficult than with CC Bill or other billers. While it isnt as simple to cancel as other billers, it is still relatively easy. Confirmation emails give the Famecare name and a quick search brings you to their page where the membership is easy to cancel.
This is an excellent site and adding in the bonus sites makes it an even better value. The studios here all have high production values and the scenes all feature beautiful models. The models cover a broad spectrum of tastes and preferences and range in age from 18 to MILF. This is a site that tries to appeal to a wide range of people and it succeeds in that attempt. Id definitely recommend this site. |

Pros: |
- Excellent massage-themed site
- Large site (875 scenes)
- Regular updates
- Supports download managers
- TBP discount
- HD available on all scenes uploaded after August 2008
- Hot scenes with great scene set-up
- Good mix of models (lots of Asian models, variation on age and breast size too) |
Cons: |
- Cant sort by theme
- A few too many larger-breasted models for my personal taste |
Bottom Line: |
Im a big fan of massage-themed sites; when theyre done well they are great. The good news is that this site is very well done. I have no idea what the relationship is between this site and the other Nuru Massage site (which includes All Girl Massage, Soapy Massage and Massage Parlor) but there is one since this site has all the same scenes on it. When I reviewed Nuru Massage I guessed that it was somehow related to the Fame family of sites and that is now confirmed. I had intended to rejoin Nuru Massage but instead ended up here. Im not sure whether I was redirected here or whether I just made an error. No big deal though, since this network has all the same scenes and continues to update.
Since the scenes here are the same as the other network, they fall into four broad categories. You have your regular massage, a soapy massage, a nuru massage and girl-girl massages. (Hmmm that started to sound like a car wash menu. I should see if my local carwash offers girl-girl too) This is subjective, but I like to watch the scene set-up almost as much as the scene itself and these scenes all follow a similar script which permits a great (though admittedly repetitive) set-up. The guy arrives and is greeted, there is a conversation about the services offered, they move to the massage room where the girl undresses the guy and then herself, they usually shower together and then the massage begins. With very rare exceptions, the scenes have oral on the guy with a happy ending. A few scenes (maybe 20-ish) have actual intercourse. I only saw one anal scene. (Frankly, if I ever get a nuru massage Ill damn well expect anal.)
This is subjective, but the female models are all attractive, with most being A and B list porn stars. The people who book the talent appear to like bigger breasts than I do since I found most of the models have bigger breasts than I prefer. There are some small boobies though, so there is something for everyone. There are a lot of Asian models (maybe close to half), with the remainder mostly Caucasian. Models of color are there, but rare.
Currently there are 875 scenes posted with a new scene being added every two days (three sometimes. Maybe weekends?) As with all Fame sites the videos are offered in a wide range of sizes. Streaming is available at resolutions of 160, 240, 360, 480, 540, 720 and 1080. Downloads are available in WMV or mp4 format in resolutions of 160, 240, 360 and 480. The mp4s are also offered in higher resolutions of 540, 720 and 1080. The first scenes on the site date from August 2007 and this site jumped on the HD bandwagon early and started offering 1080p a year later in August 2008. Since then every scene is available in 720 and 1080. I used to exclusively download WMV format but have since decided that life is too short for low-res porn so Ive switched to mp4s in the highest resolution available. The 1080p files are 1920x1080 at 6500kb/s and 29fps. Subjectively they look great on both a monitor and large-screen TV.
Photos are available, but since this is clearly a video site I didnt check them out much. They do open in a unique viewer and I couldnt find a zip download. They are also just screencaps.
A constant complaint that Ive always had with any Fame site is that the download links time out very quickly. Fame seems to have improved this (confirmed on other Fame sites too) because I didnt experience any time outs at all. Thats not to say that there isnt still a limit, but if there is one it is much more reasonable. The site allows download managers and if there is a daily download limit I didnt hit it and I downloaded almost 200GB in one day.
Navigation is simple but effective. There are 15 scenes per page and those scenes open into a separate page with the download and viewing options. You can also sort by star. The only complaint I have is admittedly trivial, and would possibly be solved had I actually joined through Nuru Massage. This site doesnt break the scenes down by the four broad themes. So if you really want only the girl-girl stuff you have to scour the large thumbnails for each scene. The only differentiation is when you actually play the video and the site name is shown. I do wish there was a way to sort by theme.
I highly recommend this site to anyone who like massage-themed porn. The models are hot, the production values are high, the site is large (and expanding), well laid-out, the scenes are easy to download and the scenes are offered in ways that will satisfy most subscribers. This is a great site. |

Pros: |
- 15,000+ DVDs
- Hundreds of Studios
- Incredible value
- Many popular niches served well
- Access to some hard-to-find titles |
Cons: |
- Too much reliance on compilations
- File quality hasnt kept up with industry standards |
Bottom Line: |
Im not sure if there is enough new here to qualify as a review rather than a comment, but I cant pare down what I wrote to fit the comment section. Please be gentle if you scold me I admit to being pretty long-winded here at PU.
VB is huge and continues to add four new DVDs per day. When you add the low monthly fee, the fact that they allow download managers and put no restrictions on downloads the site is an incredible value. People who prefer stolen porn over paying a low fee for a massive collection of virus-free porn must just enjoy stealing stuff.
Because of their size they tend to offer a lot of niche material. Take classics for example. I wouldnt consider VB a classics site because proportionally there arent that many, but in terms of raw numbers there are probably more classic titles here than on some specific niche sites. Same with a lot of other niches like BDSM and peeing.
This subjective, but I really like that VB is adding a lot more titles from Diabolic, Anabolic and JM Productions. These are hard to find as legal downloads so seeing them here is great. Theyre all great studios, though JM is likely an acquired taste.
Now on to the bad news:
I think the old phrase jack of all trades, master of none probably applies here. This is just my opinion, but I think that VB stresses quantity over quality as a lot of their uploads are pretty crappy. Yes, I realize that there may be a lot of people out there who like grade-C European porn and that they probably get mad when a title from a big American or European studio with good production values and known models is posted. So I wont harp on the fact that a lot of the uploads are low-grade titles.
I do think a valid criticism is the number of compilations they upload. I get the concept of compilations and I used to buy a lot of compilation VHS tapes and DVDs when thats how I got porn. That made sense. If I wanted a bunch of scenes with models in schoolgirl outfits doing anal I could but eight titles with one scene each in them or buy one compilation. That was an easy decision to make in those days. But that model doesnt apply to the current download concept. If all I want are those scenes with youthful models in anal scenes then I can just download it the first time it gets uploaded and I have it. I dont need it reposted a second, third or fourth time. The good news is that there are usually other members who post comments to identify that the scene is a repost. The bad news is that in some cases the scene might have been posted a half-dozen times, sometimes are recently as a day or two prior. The problem, in my opinion, lies in the decision to buy material from studios whose sole business model is to package compilations FROM STUDIOS THAT VB ALREADY BUYS MATERIAL FROM. I dont see why VB buys titles from studios like Pandemonium when all that studio has to offer is material that is already posted on the site. The cynic in me figures that VB does this in the relentless push to upload four titles per day.
My biggest complaint about the site is something that Ive just recently discovered. About six months ago I made a decision that many of you had made long before that: life is too short for low-res porn. I have no data cap from my ISP, external harddrives are relatively cheap and getting cheaper per GB so I download better quality scenes now than I would have even a year ago. But heres the problem with VB: they havent expanded their download options in years. The highest resolution they offer now in 75% of their files is 640x480 and thats the same that they offered back in 2005 when they started. Yes, I know they offer one HD DVD per day (on rare occasions they offer more than one HD per day) but that still leaves 75% of their titles with download options that fall short of industry standards. I realize that with a lot of older titles they are dealing with lower quality video to start, but they should still offer better choices than they currently do.
I usually add some of the extra channels with my VB memberships but Im not sure I will this time as the ones I do add Evil Angel, Vivid and Kink all offer HD on their own sites while most of the uploads on the channels offer nothing higher than the same 640x480. (I should add that Elegant Angel offers about half of the titles on their channel in HD but Evil Angel and Vivid offer none in HD.) One great thing about the channels is that the price is still pro-rated in your first month. There is one Vivid title that I really want so I can wait until the last days of my membership and add it for a low cost.
Even with its flaws, I have to admit that VB is still an amazing value. Whether youre joining for the first time or the 20th time, you cant deny that they offer a lot of porn for a low price. As much as I complain, VB will remain in a constant rotation through my memberships for the foreseeable future. |

Pros: |
- Good selection of Elegant Angel titles
- Good mix of older titles and new releases
- Updates regularly
- Supports download managers
- TBP / PU Discount
- 390 DVDs available |
Cons: |
- Elegant Angel material is widely available on other sites so there can be a lot of overlap
- Some scenes missing from DVDs
- Download speeds can vary and are usually slower than similar sites
- Cryptic file names
- Elegant Angel has a huge back catalogue this site should be much bigger than it is |
Bottom Line: |
Ive been a big fan of Elegant Angel studio for as long as I can remember. I think that the only other studios that surpass them in my view are Evil Angel and Kink.com. This is my first time joining the site though. Ive learned my lesson not to write a review until I get a full sense of what the site offers and have actually watched a lot of what I downloaded. Had I written this review earlier I would have scored it lower and complained a lot more. As it stands now, I really like this site and Im glad I joined.
Elegant Angel offers a wide variety of porn, ranging from rough anal and gangbangs to g/g to almost softcore. Thats great for some, but I realize that for others that may be a drawback. I, for example, have no interest in large breasts so I left all of those alone. There are some consistencies though: EA uses A-list porn models and has some of the highest production values in the business.
Ill get one complaint out of the way immediately: Elegant Angel DVDs are widely available on other sites (Videobox has an EA channel for example). This can create a bit of a problem for active porn collectors since there is a lot of overlap available on the internet. The problem is that to get the widest selection of EA DVDs you need to join multiple sites. As a customer Id obviously prefer to be able to join one site and get everything, but I also realize that Elegant isnt the only studio that does this. Evil Angel and Jules Jordan are two other examples that require you to join more than one site to access more of their catalogues. At least in this case the TBP / PU discount helps.
The site currently has 390 DVDs available. The good news is that there is a mix of older titles and new releases. The bad news is that since EA has a huge back catalogue this site really should be much larger. The site updates regularly with a new DVD being added every six days.
The biggest improvement to the site occurred in March 2010 when they began offering 720p and 1080p files. All new uploads include these options and currently about 30% of the site was added after that date and are available in HD.
Older titles have limited download options. The site claims to offer 720x408 but Media Info says theyre actually 640x480 at 1500kb/s and 30 fps. The format is mp4. There is a lower resolution available too. Im not going to fault the site for these low resolutions on their older titles because Im sure the original quality isnt that great to begin with and it is still great to have access to them.
New titles are offered with more download options. There is a mobile resolution at 320x180, an H264 at 720x408, a 720p at 1280x720 and a 1080p at 1920x1080. Those are all in mp4 format. I usually opted for the 720p as a good compromise for drive space and quality. Those come in at true 1280x720 at 3500kb/s and 30fps. Subjectively they look great. On a few choice scenes I went for the 1080. The resolution is as advertised and they play at 8100kb/s and 30fps. Visually I dont see a lot of difference between the 720 and 1080 but I wont make a definite call on that as I havent tried either on my 50 TV yet.
The site allows download managers and the links have a reasonable time-out. My guess is that your links will be live for at least a half hour.
This is really getting picky, but for some reason EA opts to not put all the scenes up in the DVDs. I dont know how often that occurs maybe it is really infrequent but it was definitely noticeable in the one DVD that I joined to get access to: Lexi. Thats the recent DVD with Lexi Belles first anal scene. The anal scene is there, but the site doesnt have the first scene in the movie with Lexi, Riley Reid and Michael Stefano. I may have wanted this title for the anal scene, but the b/g/g scene is actually my favourite and it irks me that it isnt posted. The DVD was uploaded in early October so I think its safe to assume that they wont be adding it now. If anyone has any thoughts as to why theyd omit this Id appreciate hearing from you.
Since Im being picky Ill also point out that the file names dont give any clue to the star or DVD. If youre like me and fussy about cataloguing your collection youll need to change the names of the files as you download.
The site has flaws (it should be much bigger, some overlap with other EA material on other pay sites, non-specific file names) but those are minor when you consider the value of the site. If you like the style of porn here this is an excellent site and Id highly recommend it to anyone. This site is now officially on my list of sites to rejoin over and over. |
