Pros: - Note – this review is of the TS side of Evil Angel - Part of the original Evil Angel site - The same high quality as with other EA titles - A good opportunity to explore what may be a new niche to you - Large library - Some well known directors - Broad range of niches within TS - Beautiful models - The usual EA download options are available - Great filter option to select TS titles - Supports download managers - Fast download speeds - High production values Cons: - 4K is relatively rare Bottom Line: I trust I’m not breaking any PU rules by reviewing a site that’s well known to most of us and has been reviewed many times – including by me. But a recent interest in a niche new to me and a hunt for more information led me to conclude that no one has concentrated on one unique aspect of EA, namely Transgender or Transsexual porn. (Note – I understand that TG or TS is the preferred term but if I’m wrong please remember that I’m new to this.) I’m new to TS porn. Sure, I knew it existed but had no real interest in it. More recently I was reading some threads on another porn forum and learned that TS porn is widely popular and on another thread people were posting photos of their favourite TS models. I have to confess to being really surprised at how stunningly beautiful many of these women are. I vowed to explore this niche a bit more. EA provided the perfect network for me to explore this interest with relatively little risk. I’ve been a member at EA many times and I trust them and even if I lost interest in the TS material I’d still get a lot of value from the straight stuff they’re famous for. First off, EA offers a handy tool which essentially turns the site into a TS site. There is a slider by which you can select to include TS stuff or to show only TS stuff. That makes for a great filter. EA currently has 2260 TS scenes on 228 DVDs, making it a good value for anyone looking for this niche. The titles are from some of the best known TS directors such as Joey Silvera and I was surprised to see TS titles from well-known directors of straight porn such as Jay Sin. (Though the Jay Sin TS scenes aren’t nearly as zany as his straight titles.) The EA TS collection dates from 2001 and stretches into the present day. Obviously the older titles don’t have the same video quality. The older titles top out at 540p but by 2014 most scenes are available as high as 1080p. While the main EA site offers 4K on a lot of newer scenes 4k is relatively rare on the TS side of the house. The newer scenes offer the same broad range of download options as the ‘straight’ side of EA does, with the 4K exception. The range is from 160p to 1080p so there is something for all devices and download speeds. Updates seem to be added these days with a new scene in a new DVD every couple of days. There is a gap between the most recent updates and those from several months ago but I suspect that this could be the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. TS can cover some unique niches and all seem to be well represented here. There are scenes featuring TS models fucking women, TS models fucking men, TS models fucking TS models and men fucking TS models. There is something for everyone whether you’re a TS collector or just wanting to explore a bit. This is entirely subjective, but my preference is for feminine TS models in scenes where they are in a ‘traditional’ B/G scene with a male. I seems that starting about three years ago there were a lot more models who fit that description coming into the business. Prior to that I found that a lot of the TS models were relatively masculine, but there is a current crop who are quite beautiful in a feminine way. I downloaded a lot of those scenes. Because this is the TS side of EA, a lot of what makes EA a great site is here as well. The site is well laid out and it’s easy to find things you’ll like. The production values are high, in part because the same directors are making these scenes as on the ‘straight’ side. I’ve subscribed to a lot of Gamma sites (EA is part of the Gamma family) and I’ve never had a bad billing experience. The site allows download managers and I saw download speeds nearing my maximum limit for my connection. Broadly speaking, I think the TS material at EA will appeal to two groups. For those who like straight porn but also like TS stuff, EA offers a lot of both in high quality. For those like me, who are new to TS porn this is a chance to explore that with very little risk. If I changed my mind and didn’t download any TS scenes I still have all the value of the ‘straight’ side of the site. So for those of you who subscribe to EA for straight porn, you may want to check out some of the TS scenes they offer, especially the newer ones with very beautiful models. For those unfamiliar with EA, check out reviews of the complete network and know that if you have a TS interest you can add value to the membership. 10-06-20  08:44am Replies (2) Review 102 Nympho (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Mike Adriano site - All vaginal - Lots of ass play - Lots of oil play - All A-list talent - 22 scenes - Easy to use site - Updates every five days - Screenshots available - Full tour available - Three resolutions for download - Streaming - Supports download managers - Fast download speeds Cons: - No TBP discount - No self-serve cancellation feature with the biller (Customercare.co) Bottom Line: Nympho is Mike Adriano’s latest site which started in late 2018. This site features all vaginal sex and compliments Mike’s other two sites, Swallowed, featuring oral sex, and True Anal, featuring, obviously, anal sex. If you’re familiar with Mike’s work this site follows the same formula that he uses in all his scenes. The bad thing is that it gets repetitive but the good thing is that at least you know what you’re getting. The formula for the scenes here is the same that Mike uses in almost all of his scenes these days: the model starts off posing in some provocative clothes, she flashes and strips off some of them, Mike goes down on her licking both her pussy and ass, there is usually anal penetration with a finger, the model goes down on Mike, and then the sex begins. The scenes usually end with a (sometimes fake) creampie or a facial. One often-polarizing act that Mike includes in many of his scenes is having the models rim him. That happens in approximately 75% of the scenes here. For a site that features vaginal sex exclusively it is still quite ass-obsessed, but that’s a trait with Mike. Mike spends some time worshipping the asses of the models. Most get a finger inserted too. As a guy who is at least as ass-obsessed as Mike I approve! One Adriano trait appears in almost all of the scenes here – the scenes feature a lot of oil being used. Mike has a large bottle of it available and generously applies it to the model so that by the end of the scene both are covered in it. This is neither a pro or a con for me but if you’re into that then it’s another advantage to joining this site. Most of the scenes are B/G but there are several B/G/G. Obviously, Mike Adriano is the sole male talent in the scenes. Most of the models have the typical porn model look. The models here are all A-list: it’s a who’s who of the biggest names in porn. Because this is a vaginal sex-only site Mike is able to bring in some models who don’t do anal and therefore might not otherwise appear in a scene with him since he is definitely skewed more to anal scenes. Most of the scenes run just over an hour in length. All of the scenes are up to Mike’s usual high technical standards – the lighting, camerawork, sound and editing are all top-notch. The site itself is logically laid out and easy to use. There are tags for those searching for something specific. The site currently has 22 scenes available with a new one being added every five days. The scenes are available in three resolutions: 1080p, 720p (in two bitrates – 5000 and 1500 kb/s) and 360p. I found download speeds to be fast and I had no problems using a download manager. I didn’t have any timeouts and the downloads were stable. I didn’t find any download limits. Streaming is available too. While the site is primarily a video site there are screenshots available as singles and as zips. The resolution is good at 3000x1688. Many of the zipped files have nearly 1000 images in them. The site doesn’t have many shortcomings. Some may see it as a bit too small just yet but it is growing. Unfortunately there is no TBP discount which would go a long way to offsetting the small site size. Another minor flaw is that the biller that the site uses, Customercare.co, doesn’t have a self-serve means to cancel your membership – you have to email them or use chat. Still, I haven’t ever had a problem with cancelling through this biller but you’ll want to leave yourself some wiggle room. As an avid porn collector I’ll take quality over quantity any time and it does seem that Mike Adriano is stretching himself a bit thin these days. He has three sites on the go and still puts out some original scenes at Jules Jordan (though I read that he may be returning to Evil Angel soon). Nympho and True Anal promise at least six scenes per month each and Swallowed promises at least 7 scenes. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Mike has resorted to faking some of his cumshots. In my opinion, that’s a sign that he needs to slow down a bit. The bottom line is that Mike Adriano is one of the most prolific directors/performers working today and he’s known for producing some great porn. This site is up to his usual standards. It’s an opportunity for someone not into anal scenes to get some Mike Adriano in their collection though the scenes still feature a lot of ass play. The scenes are all with some of the hottest talent and each scene brings a lot of heat. The site is still a bit small but I think the value is still there given the heat and quality of the scenes. A TBP discount would fix any value concerns immediately. As a collector, I’m glad I joined the site and highly recommend that anyone check it out. (As with all of Mike’s sites, there is a full tour available so go check it out.) 02-03-19  11:56am Replies (0) Review 103 Screw Box (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Innovative site - Broad mix of American A-list and European A-list - Good mix of solo, G/G and B/G - Mix of vaginal and anal - Great value - Bills through Epoch - All exclusive - Supports download managers Cons: - The $10 USD price was for a limited time Bottom Line: When TBP posted Screw Box in the “What’s Hot” list recently for an amazing price I took the plunge without doing a lot of homework. I figured that since the price was only $10 USD and it billed through Epoch then I wasn’t taking much of a risk even if the site turned out to be a dud. But not only is this site definitely NOT a dud, it’s been added to my (admittedly long) list of sites to regularly rejoin. I’m an avid porn collector who values quality over quantity and while this site isn't small it also isn't nearly as big as a megasite but the quality here more than makes up for that. I normally like to give some indication of what type of porn a site offers but this site is hard to pin down. It’s certainly a site that tries to appeal to a wide audience. While that often means that a site ends up satisfying no one, Screw Box may be a rare exception to that rule. I mostly download B/G scenes and the ones here are hot and well shot. I infrequently download lesbian scenes and rarely download solo scenes so when I say that they are hot too that’s something you can take to the bank. If there is a consistent theme in the site it can be summed up as being exclusive scenes starring some of the hottest talent in the business (female and male) with high production values. The scenes all have a playful nature to them which, in my opinion, adds to the heat and overall value of the site. As I stated above, this site tries to hit all the highlights of mainstream porn. Admittedly, you shouldn’t join expecting hard BDSM on the fringes but if you like regular porn done well then you should look at this site. The site has a great mix of B/G, G/G and solo and features a range of American and Eastern European / Russian models. The common feature of the models is that they are all A-list and all hot. Even within the B/G scenes there is some variance with 11 scenes currently having anal in them. The site makes use of tags and applies them to the standard things, like the type of scene (lesbian, for example). Oddly there is no tag for the B/G scenes. That’s not really a big deal because the site is well laid out so finding those is relatively easy. Otherwise the tags make finding specific interests easy. There is also an effective search function too. Currently there are 116 scenes uploaded with a new scene being added approximately every four days. As of now there are 47 solo scenes and 19 lesbian scenes so that should mean there are 50 B/G scenes. The site also has a separate page with eight BTS scenes on offer. I like BTS stuff and what’s offered here is very good. We get to see a glimpse of each model’s personality and the fun they had preparing for their scenes. The site offers four resolutions for downloads, all of which are in MP4 format. On offer are 640x360 (1500kb/s), 854x480 (3000kb/s), 1280x720 (5000kb/s) and 1920x1080 (8000kb/s). All are 30fps. I downloaded a mix of the 720p and 1080p and both look good on a 24” monitor and a 50” TV. I’ve complained about other sites that have multiple resolutions but have a wide chasm between the top two choices because a member then has to trade off quality versus an enormous file size. That isn't the case here as the site has chosen to make the progression up the resolution ladder a series of logical steps. Photos are also offered and it was no surprise to me that they are high quality too. They are 3000x2000 and available as zips or singles. I rarely collect photos but I found myself downloading several sets here because they are high quality, creatively shot and feature models I like. The site supports download managers (I use IDM) and I found the download speeds to be on par with or slightly better than what I see on similar sites. I didn’t find any restrictions or limits. The worst news (especially if you didn’t take advantage of the offer) is that the $10 price was only good for a short time. It is now listed at the full price of $30. Let’s hope that Amanda and the gang here can persuade the site owners to throw us another bone once in a while or maybe even a standing discount. Even $20 would be a good value. Noting the above limited-time deal, I scored the site on the full $30 price. If we had a standing discount the value of the membership would be greatly improved and I wouldn’t hesitate to score it in the low 90s. The bottom line? This is a great site that offers 100+ scenes of some amazing exclusive porn with some of the best talent working today. The site offers a broad mix of porn so there is something for almost everyone. At the full membership fee I’d call this a good value but if we’re ever offered another generous discount the site becomes an amazing value. Better still would be if Screw Box was able to offer some permanent discount to TBP/PU. 10-18-17  04:31pm Replies (0) Review 104 Petite Ballerinas Fucked (0) 88.0 Status: Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review. Pros: - Rare niche - A-list models - Models from the U.S. and EE/Russia - Updates regularly - Part of a great network - Many streaming and download options - Pictures and screenshots available - Tags to help sort scenes - Allows download managers - Good download speeds - ‘Soft’ hardcore - TBP discount Cons: - Search function isn't fully functional (this is a very minor con) Bottom Line: Petite Ballerinas Fucked is a relatively new site added to the Nubiles Porn network, having launched in September 2015. The site remains relatively small and will take time to grow as it only adds one new scene per month. While that doesn’t sound great, consider that PBF is part of a network that offers a total of 11 sites with seven of those still active and updating. (On a related note, I mourned the death of both Nubiles Casting and Driver XXX in a comment here earlier this month and the webmaster replied that these sites are on a bit of a vacation and that the network is hoping to reactivate them in the near future. That’s great news.) If you can say only one positive thing about this site it’s that the title isn't misleading. If the title were anything else I’d have described the site as one where petite ballerinas get fucked. But the truth is that there are plenty of other good things to say about this site. The scene set-ups aren't particularly complex. In fact, they’re downright simple: a young, petite woman in a ballerina outfit shows some simple ballet moves and then the male talent walks in and they start to have sex. Sure, it is a bit more involved than that in some scenes but there aren't scenes with complex plots here. The scenes skew to the softer end of the hardcore spectrum. If you’re looking for throat-fucking and relentless pounding you won’t find it here. What you will find is some hot porn where the sensuality is turned up. In keeping with the softer nature of the scenes there is lots of kissing and the men perform oral on the women as foreplay. There is no anal sex. Also, none (that I found anyway) of the come shots were facials. I don’t know what constitutes ‘couples-friendly’ porn, but this has to at least come close. In keeping with the ballerina theme, many of the scenes have the models keeping their outfit on for an extended time and using the bar as a prop for both foreplay and sex. The scenes are also a natural length with the average being around 20 minutes. In keeping with the softer edge of the site these aren't 90 minute marathon sessions. The technical aspects of the scenes are all well done too. The sound, lighting and editing are all top quality, which adds to the overall feel to the site. One feature that indicates to me that the directors understand their primary audience is that the women are clearly the stars. The men are all attractive (which may contribute to making the site couples-friendly) but the men obviously understand that the scenes are about the women and the men do their best to help the women stay as the centre of the scene. Speaking of the women here, the site is a who’s who of many A-list models from both sides of the Atlantic. If I had to pick one feature that makes this site a real stand-out it has to be that the women are exceptionally beautiful, though admittedly these models are also the exact look and body type I prefer. (As I said above, the site has to get some of the credit for recognizing that the women need to be the centre of the scenes.) There are currently 33 scenes available spread over three main pages. Clicking on a scene opens it and provides you with many options. Streaming is available in five resolutions: 1920x1080, 1280x720, 960x540, 640x360 and 480x270. To the site’s credit, the streaming doesn’t begin automatically as soon as you open the page. Downloads are available in mp4 format in the same five resolutions as the streamed scenes. There is also one WMV download in 1280x720. I downloaded the 1920x1080 files and found a wide variation in bitrates, from 5800kbps to 18000kbps. I couldn’t tell that there was a discernable difference with the files on a 24” monitor. They all look good. Photos are available as singles or zips and come in your choice of resolutions: 5760x 3840, 2000x1333 and 1200x800. Screenshots are available too but only in 1920x1080. No member can reasonably complain that there isn't some format to their liking. I used a download manager to queue scenes and had no issues doing that. I had no problem with links timing out. Finally, the download speeds were on par with the best sites I’ve subscribed to recently. The technical aspects of the site are all well done too. The site is logically laid out and easy to use. Each scene has a series of tags defining the popular porn niches. There is a search function and it does work, but it searches the entire network rather than the site you’re on. That’s certainly not a deal-breaker. The bottom line is that this is a great site serving a rare niche that is part of a great network. The icing on the cake is that the site offers a TBP/PU discount. I’d recommend this site if it were a stand-alone site (with more updates though…) but since it is part of a great network I highly recommend that you check it out. 08-21-17  03:18pm Replies (2) Review 105 Box Truck Sex (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Innovative concept - 79 scenes - Updates regularly - Streaming - 4 Download options - Bills through Epoch - Supports download managers Cons: - No TBP discount - Conventional sex apart from the location Bottom Line: Europeans do a much better job at the public sex / exhibitionist niche than we do in North America and I suspect that’s mostly due to our more Puritanical attitudes towards sex and nudity here on this side of the pond. But even the Europeans can’t simply take a girl and a guy, plop them in the middle of a busy sidewalk and have them fuck. Until now, that is. The gang at Box Truck Sex have managed to find a porn innovation that gives the illusion of public nudity and sex while keeping everyone safe: they took a truck and built a box on the back that is made out of one-way glass. Then they put a bed inside and let the good times roll. While it may sound gimmicky, for those of us who like the public sex niche this really works well. Seeing a beautiful model posing nude, giving a blowjob or getting fucked as people and cars go by only a few feet away is titillating. Most of the models here are Eastern European and well known. Models such as Amira Adara and Gina Gerson make appearances. There are a couple of UK models mixed in too. (As a Gina Gerson fan I was a bit disappointed to find that her only scene here is a girl/girl.) The scenes mostly follow a set pattern. The truck is parked on a busy street in Budapest and as the girl walks down the sidewalk she is stopped by the guy and an offer is made for some reason to get her into the truck. Most often that offer is a free massage or a photo session or something like that. Once inside the model is either talked out of her clothes or offered money (like Bang Bus) and eventually the foreplay and sex gets started. All of the scenes are boy/girl with the exception of four girl/girl scenes. There are no threeways or group scenes. Apart from the fact that the couple are having sex in a mirrored box on the back of a truck as people walk by mere feet away, the sex is pretty conventional. It’s standard vaginal boy/girl sex in the standard porn positions. Most of the cumshots are onto the girl’s breasts, belly or ass. There is one creampie and seven facials. There are no anal scenes even though many of the models here do anal regularly. The site went live on June 1, 2016 and currently has almost 80 scenes available, which is a good growth rate for the site. There isn't really a set update schedule as there are some updates that are only a day apart and the biggest gap between updates appears to be five days. The videos are all available in streaming and in four resolutions for download. The download options are 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p. The 1080p scenes are large with many of them hitting close to 4GB so I opted for the 720p downloads. Those come in at 720p at 1280x720, 5000kb/s and 25fps. Subjectively they look good with no obvious pixilation or stuttering. The site is well organized with a dozen large thumbnails per page. The pages load quickly and the download speeds are what I normally see on sites. The site does allow download managers. Scenes can be sorted by update date or by model. There is also an option to select any of a long list of standard porn niches so finding something specific should be relatively easy. The site bills through Epoch so you can join with confidence and know that cancelling will be easy too. There are no photos available except for six screencaps for each scene. I’d absolutely recommend this site even though there is no TBP discount offered. The site should appeal to anyone who likes public nudity and sex though any prospective members should be aware that other than the fact that the scenes are staged in a mirrored box on a truck the sex itself is pretty conventional. One thing I am hoping for is that an American studio sees and adopts this concept. As much as I like seeing these European models in Budapest I’d really like to see some A-list American models parked on the side of the road of a busy American street. 01-07-17  11:56am Replies (2) Review 106 Vixen.com (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - High production values - Top models - 26 scenes - Updates regularly and frequently - Affiliated with two quality sites - Lots of options to stream or download the scenes - Great value for the subscription fee - Pictures are available Cons: - Limited tags - Search function lacks accuracy - Small site, but growing Bottom Line: Vixen is a high-quality site from the same people that give us Blacked and Tushy. Being associated with those sites should give a clear indication of the quality that a subscriber can expect. The site is relatively new, having started in June 2016. It currently has 26 videos available and a new video is uploaded every five days. The fact that the site is affiliated with two popular and reputable sites gives me hope that it will be around for a while and continue to offer great porn. The scenes all have high production values: the lighting, sound, editing and such are all top quality. The models are all A-list popular models. The drawback for some may be that there isn't a lot of variety in the models. They’re all young (18-22), fit and petite. That’s exactly what I like so I have no complaints! The list of models on the site is a who’s who of top models working today. The scene plots vary but you won’t find much variation from other similar sites. While I like a plot that sets some sexual tension I’m willing to trade some of that off in a site like this that has such beautiful models in some amazing scenes. Two groups that may be a bit disappointed are those who like anal and those who like lesbian scenes. There are only three anal scenes available and while there are two listed lesbian scenes those are actually g/g/b. But since the site doesn’t market itself as an anal or lesbian site that isn't a big deal. Opening a scene brings you to a separate page where the scene, pictures and a trailer are available. The scenes can me streamed in 4K, 1080p, 720p, 480p and 360p. Downloads are available in six resolutions: 480x270 (650kb/s), 640x360 (1000kb/s), 854x480 (1000kb/s), 854x480 (2000kb/s), 1280x720 (8200kb/s) and 1920x1080 (12000kb/s). All of these are in MP4 format and are at 23fps. I don’t understand the technical bits but it seems odd to have some of the specs grouped so closely together. The site does offer pictures but it’s fair to say that it really is a video site. The pictures are available as singles and as zips with a good resolution of 3000x2000. The site itself is reasonably well-laid out and logical. There is a search function, but for now the site is small enough that it isn't really necessary. There are tags for some popular niches. The scenes can be sorted by videos (descending order) and by model. As the site grows I hope the functionality grows too. There aren't that many tags yet and I found the search function wasn’t accurate. I searched for anal scenes and it found one when the tag revealed all three available. I’ll chalk that up to the site being new and still growing. What really adds to the value of the site is that they offer it at $10 per month. Even if the site wasn’t updating that is great value for scenes of this caliber. Other new sites start out small and charge full subscription fees of $30 per month. I can understand that a site needs some cash flow but I think the business model that Vixen is using makes more sense. I’m assuming, of course, that when the site is bigger they’ll start charging a fee in line with the size and quality offered. The bottom line is that Vixen offers good value for the money. The scenes are well shot, the models are amazing, the sex is hot and the site is logical. Sure, it has a few minor issues but the good far outweighs the bad here. I’d recommend signing up at this price and seeing what they have to offer. 10-19-16  11:55am Replies (4) Review 107 Pretty Dirty (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Part of the Fame group of porn sites. - I hope that other Fame sites don’t adopt the pay-to-download model - 120+ videos - Updates frequently (every two or three days) - Lots of BTS Cons: - Basic membership only gives streaming - Downloads cost extra per scene - Cancelling can be tricky Bottom Line: I should have paid more attention before joining this site because even though the TBP page lists it as streaming only with downloads costing more, I somehow missed that. Downloading could become an expensive option since there isn't a one-charge add-on fee to unlock downloads but there is a requirement to pay an additional $2.95 per scene that you want to download. That could add up quickly. Pretty Dirty is part of the Fame Digital family of sites so there is some expectation of quality porn offered on a well-designed site and both of those expectations have been met. The quality of the porn is more of a subjective judgment since it really comes down to what each person likes. My preference is for the harder-edged stuff found at other Fame sites (such as Evil Angel) but even though the porn is more mainstream here it still meets the same high production values found on sister sites. While you will find some scenes that have somewhat edgier plots like threeways and anal, the focus here is more on old-fashioned boy/girl sex. The models are all A-list or models who are new to the business. This site will certainly appeal to anyone who likes the newest models in the business. Two things about the porn itself are worth noting. First, this site has a lot of older man, younger woman stuff with a sizable proportion of that being the stepdaughter / stepfather niche. There are lots of other niches served, but if you like these ones this site has a lot to keep you entertained. The second thing is that the site offers a lot of behind-the-scenes material and what they offer tends to be more than just a camera recording the scene being shot. The BTS stuff here has some of that fly-on-the-wall footage but spends more time interviewing the performers. For those of us interested in knowing what makes some of our favorite models tick these scenes are interesting to watch. The site itself is logical and well laid out. Each scene is identified by a medium-sized thumbnail with the performers, scene name and upload date listed too. Clicking on the thumbnail brings you to a separate page where you can view a trailer or the full scene. I don’t normally stream scenes so the number of resolutions available seems a bit of overkill to me, but I’ll assume that there is demand for the wide variation. The scenes can be streamed in 160p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080p. As I noted above if you want to download a scene you can do so for an additional $2.95 charge. Presumably the same resolutions would be available for the downloads as those are offered on other Fame sites too. The site offers photos as both singles and zips. There are no additional charges for downloading the photos. The site currently has approximately 130 scenes available and updates frequently with a new scene being added every few days. The BTS uploads aren't included in that update schedule so a member won’t feel cheated if an update is a BTS scene. The site offers a lot of different ways to sort and search and those seem to be effective. Many of the scenes are part of a ‘series’ so you can go to that series. You can sort by niche using tags and there is also a search function. You can sort by scene or by the female star. One warning that has to go along with and Fame site is that cancelling is easy IF you know what information you’ll need. The most critical piece of information will be in your email inbox, and that’s what Fame site were you billed through. Fame uses several of them (and even added a new billing site recently) and if you pick the wrong one you won’t find your membership. You’ll also need your username and password so keep those handy especially if you have the site remember your login credentials so you don’t have to. Giving this site a score and a recommendation is tough to do because I find the porn a little too tame and I prefer to download my porn. But for someone who likes more mainstream porn and prefers streaming this site could be a perfect fit for them. My biggest beefs with the site are more subjective and I don’t want to factor those preferences into the score or recommendation. So wearing my objective porn-reviewer hat I’d say that this site offers a decent collection of some well-shot porn starring some of the newest and hottest models in the business. The production values are high. The site itself is laid out well and finding something you’ll like is easy. The site offers great value for the $15 TBP discount price. But… it’s fair to say that most people who are members here at PU are more collectors so you need to be warned that this is a streaming site only unless you want to spend a lot of money. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that this business model doesn’t spread to other Fame sites. 10-14-16  10:51am Replies (0) Review 108 Dark X (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Third site by Mason - High production values - A-list stars - Hardcore without crossing into rough - Many download and streaming options - Supports download managers - Bonus scenes from sister sites - TBP discount Cons: - Small site (but growing) - Scenes could be made part of existing sites Bottom Line: Dark X is the third independent site from the acclaimed director Mason. This site is in addition to her other excellent sites, Hard X and Erotica X. If you’re familiar with either of those sites you’ll know that if Dark X follows in their footsteps it will be a great site. I don’t want to sound judgmental, but I don’t really understand interracial porn as a stand-alone niche. For one thing, it seems that ‘interracial’ in this context only means a black male with white female. In the real world couples from any race can pair up. But what I don’t understand is why these interracial scenes couldn’t simply have been added to the existing Hard X and Erotica X sites since those two sites do have interracial scenes. But, for some reason, interracial porn seems to be a big thing right now and I can’t fault Mason for wanting to capitalize on that. The porn itself is up to Mason’s usual high standards: the models are A-list and beautiful. The women are all white but there is some variation in age and body type. The scenes are all well produced with good lighting and editing to best show off the models. I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is couples porn but it isn't misogynistic either. Credit that to having a woman as the director for giving these scenes a lot of heat and still appeal to a broad audience. There are currently 29 scenes uploaded, but that needs a bit of an explanation. When the site began it added a new scene each day for a short while. That makes sense as it gives members a reason to join. The current update schedule is one scene per week but the overall number of scenes is augmented by the addition of some bonus interracial scenes from Hard X and Erotica X. These are actual bonus scenes in that they don’t count as the weekly exclusive update. As of today there are 21 Dark X scenes, six Hard X scenes and two Erotica X scenes. For those like me who like anal sex scenes, there are six exclusive anal scenes and an additional four from Hard X. Like its sister sites, this one is laid out well and is easy to use. There are different ways to sort the scenes and you can choose a specific porn star or common niche. There is a search function but the site is still too small to really test that. I found that just being able to sort by star and niche was sufficient. Each main page has six scenes with each having a large photo and information on the scene including the model, the scene name and the upload date. Each of those opens into a new page where you’ll have a description of the scene and options to stream or download it. For both streaming and downloading there are a lot of options. Both offer seven different resolutions: 160p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080p. The downloads are only available as MP4s. I wish other sites would offer this many options. I downloaded the 720p files as those are a good compromise between file size and video quality. The bitrates are just shy of 5000kb/s (though a few were as low as 3500) so they look good on a 24” monitor. There are some photos available but it is fair to say that these are secondary to the videos. The photos are good quality but there aren't many per set and those appear to be screencaps. I didn’t see a way to download them as a zip. The site allows download managers and I found the download speeds to be at least as good as other comparable sites. Some may not see the value in joining such a small (but growing) site even with the TBP discount but that would be missing out on some excellent quality porn. The scenes are all well produced, shot and edited and all of them feature the best stars in the porn industry today. This is definitely a site that I’ll rejoin. 01-16-16  10:12am Replies (8) Review 109 Kink University (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Interesting and rare niche - Part of the well-known Kink family of sites - Good looking models - Great production values - 51 scenes - Updates weekly - Supports download managers - Low price for admission to the Kink world Cons: - Likely too narrow a niche to attract many viewers - New site design is less user-friendly - Download speeds can be slower than average - Wide gap in file sizes between highest and next-highest resolutions Bottom Line: BDSM and D/s is a porn niche that I enjoy. I’ve always found that Kink.com offers some of the best BDSM and D/s videos available anywhere. One of my wishes was they would show more behind-the-scenes or ‘how to’ videos since in most of their videos the model is shown already tied up, suspended or whatever without ever showing how she got there. Then there’s just the basic stuff of a BDSM or D/s relationship dynamic that seems fascinating. Members to any of Kink’s sites didn’t usually get to peek behind the curtains. And then along comes Kink University and that niche is filled. It’s important to note that Kink isn't a traditional hardcore sex site, though there is sex here. It isn't a typical BDSM, D/s site either. All of the videos have an instructional element to them regarding the BDSM and D/s activities seen throughout Kink sites. You’ll find videos on rope tying for beginners and for more advanced couples, videos on how to safely use some toys, how to build a home dungeon and how to have anal sex. There are also videos on how to get into the lifestyle, how to use positions and protocols. In short, if you can see it on a Kink site there is probably a video at KU giving you advice on how to bring that home. If you’re a Kink regular the models here are those you’ll be familiar with. Kink seems to have a group of semi-mainstream-porn models who do a lot of fetish work and those models appear here too. Production values like lighting, sound and editing are all typical of Kink sites, which is to say that they are among the best in the industry. Kink obviously cares about putting out good videos. The site is currently fairly small but given the uniqueness of the niche I can’t fault it for that. There are currently 51 videos available and a new one is added each week. Clicking on a thumbnail for a scene opens another page where you have the option to stream or download it. I didn’t see any resolution options for streaming. Downloads are mostly offered in MP4 version with four resolutions being offered, those being listed as hi, med, low and ‘full’ which is HD. Because of the nature of the videos I opted for the ‘hi’ files since they were the best compromise between file size and resolution. Those come in at a fairly low (by today’s standards) resolution of 960x540 and 1300kb/s. They don’t look bad on a 24” monitor or a 32” TV. I avoided the full HD downloads because they tended to be up to three times the size of the next lower file. I did download one HD file to be able to compare the specs and it came in at 1280x720 and 5000kb/s. Those specs aren't bad but I’d expect better in a 50 minute video that is close to 2GB in size. I wish the gap between the files wasn’t so big. The site allows download managers and I had no trouble with the links timing out too quickly. I haven’t had any Kink memberships in a while but I don’t recall download speeds being this slow in the past. In the past I don’t recall download speeds being remarkable for being slow or fast, but my experience with this site is that they are far slower than I’m used to seeing elsewhere. But maybe I’m just hitting the site at the wrong times. Other Kink sites I’ve been a member at have offered photos but I don’t see any photos here. Maybe I’m missing them. I know some of my comments here have seemed a bit inconclusive and there’s a reason for that: it appears that starting a few days ago Kink has started to roll out a new look for all of their sites. I found their old look to be simple, effective and easy to use. Maybe it’s just that the look is new and will take some getting used to. Right now though, the site redesign looks like it was done just to give it a fresh look. For all I know maybe members were complaining that the site looked stale, but I’ll always be opposed to change for the sake of change. One spin-off advantage to having a membership here is that it is among the lowest priced Kink sites. That’s important since once you are a member to one site you get a discounted price to all their other sites. I usually join through the cheapest site I’m interested in and then over a period of a few months rejoin other Kink sites that I like at a discount. I can save a lot of money this way. Like so many other sites any recommendation has to be objective. This site offers 51 scenes (and growing) in a niche that isn't found anywhere else (that I’m aware of), the models are good looking and the production values are high. Objectively I can definitely recommend this site. Subjectively, well that’s your call obviously. BDSM and D/s videos are still considered outside the mainstream for porn so the market isn't huge, and the market for this site is further reduced because not everyone into BDSM and D/s would be into these ‘instructional’ videos. But if you do have even a passing interest in this kind of video I recommend giving it a try. 05-13-15  04:19pm Replies (0) Review 110 Third Movies (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Some big improvements since I last was a member - Large selection of great porn - Close to 2000 DVDs available (in total) - One new scene uploaded per day - Lots of options to stream or download the scenes - Supports download managers - TBP/PU discount Cons: - Not a true network - Lists a lesbian site with the included sites but I can’t access it - Download speeds can vary but usually slower than average Bottom Line: If I could give an award for biggest improvement in a site this site would win. The last time I reviewed it I found that while the porn was great the site needed some serious work. I was pleased to see that the site has received a lot of work and is substantially improved from when I last reviewed it in 2011. They kept what I viewed as positive and either threw out or fixed the things I saw as negative. There is a note on the main page dated from December 30, 2014 that says the ‘new’ site is undergoing beta testing. While it’s now almost three months later and most of the site seems to work fine there are still some issues that occur sporadically that indicate that it is still being tweaked. When I first joined there were huge numbers of dead links (that was temporary) and today a lot of the DVD box covers are missing. I don’t think these temporary quirks are enough to justify skipping the site if you like the porn they offer. The two main studio ‘sites’ here are 3rd Degree (Third Movies) and Zero Tolerance (ZTOD). Both of these are mainstream hardcore porn studios that are known for featuring top A-list models and great production values. The porn aims for the middle of the market being harder than Elegant Angel but softer than Evil Angel. The site bills itself as providing access to four separate sites but that’s a bit misleading. As with many studio sites there is a division into different ‘sites’ but the same material is shared across two of them. The one site where there are separate titles is Black Ice where there are 242 DVDs uploaded. Black Ice is an all-black site as opposed to an interracial site which is great since black/black porn is relatively rare. The bad news about Black Ice is that the site hasn’t added a new scene since 2011. The fourth site that is listed as included when you join is a lesbian site called “How to Kiss a Girl.” I tried repeatedly to enter the site with the login information that worked on the other sites and had no success. (This may be a sporadic issue related to the site redesign.) Because there are so many DVDs shared between the two main sites it is hard to say how many are available here, but it is in excess of 1500 DVDs, not including what’s on Black Ice. As this is primarily a video site there are lots of options available to view the videos. The newer videos have four streaming and five download options. Streaming is 1080p, 720p, 360p and “iPod.” Downloads are 1080p, 720p, 360p, iPod and WMV. The 1080p are 1920x1080, 10000+kb/s, the 720p are 1280x720, 4800kb/s and the 360p are 640x360 at 1300kb/s. I can’t give specs on the WMV files because they were much larger than the MP4 files, with some coming in at more than 4GB compared to 2GB for the MP4s. Obviously older DVDs have fewer options and the best isn't great by today’s standards. Since the available DVDs go back more than a decade I won’t complain about that though. This isn't really a photo site but screencaps are available. The last time I was a member I had a lot of complaints about the site that could be summarized as a too-basic site design and a lot of broken links. I’m pleased to report that both of those problems seem to be solved now. The site redesign looks good and is effectively laid out. The search functions now work, there are tags and niches and you can sort the scenes in any of several ways. There are still a few broken links but nothing like the amount there used to be. The site updates with a new scene per day. To pad their numbers a bit they use a different thumbnail and description when they upload it to each of the main sites. Black Ice doesn’t update and since I can’t access the lesbian site I can’t comment on that. Download managers are permitted and I had no issue with links timing out. While download speeds started off faster than average they quickly trailed off to lower than average speeds. I recommended the site the last time I reviewed it because the great porn outweighed the site’s flaws. This review doesn’t need to rely on any such compromises. The porn is still great and now the site design supports the porn rather than lets it down. At full price it would be a decent value but with the TBP discount it’s a great value. I recommend joining even more than last time. 03-25-15  03:56pm Replies (0) Review 111 Bangbros Network (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - A mega-site that still manages to get specialties right - Something for everyone - 2-3 updates per day - Broad spectrum of niches - Many different types of models - Logically laid out site Cons: - Many complaints of misleading practices - Links time out very quickly (2-3 minutes) - Not all sites update Bottom Line: Bangbros seems to be the most polarizing of the mega sites that gets reviewed here, and it doesn’t really have to be that way. The sites included with the basic network are large, many (but not all) are updating regularly and all offer some great porn. But working against BB is the perception of misleading signups and shady billing practices. It seems unreasonable to me that BB isn’t aware of these concerns since the misleading signups are obviously a choice they made (and the billing flows from that) and if they are aware of the concerns, it baffles me why a site of this calibre would continue to do that. BB really needs no introduction, but I’ll add a quick one in case someone has just discovered internet porn. BB is a large network of sites, which isn’t unique, that offers sites catering to just about any niche a member could be interested in. Anal? Lesbian? Big breasts? Reality? Glory Holes? They’re all here. What sets BB apart from most other mega-sites is that (at least in all the niches I downloaded) they are done really well. So many other mega-sites have a feel of a low-cost buffet where your appetite will be sated but you won’t rave about the quality. In the niches I viewed I was pleasantly surprised to see that just because the network covers so many niches that they still seem to be able to understand what makes good porn within a specific niche. For example, I love both anal sites and glory hole sites and the BB sites Mr. Anal and Glory Hole Loads are among the best of each niche that I’ve seen. Each could easily be a stand-alone site and still have value. I have every reason to believe that the same thing applies to the niche sites that I’m not interested in. The other great thing about BB is that they offer models from a range of ages, body types and ethnicities. The models also range from A-listers to relatively unknowns. I’m going to break with my own convention of providing a lot of detail in a review because I don’t want to risk misleading anyone. The reason for this is that I added an optional “SuperPack” of sites that appears in the scenes available to me. To give the number of scenes available would include those and mislead someone who buys the basic membership. But don’t let me mislead anyone in the other direction either: the basic membership includes thousands of scenes. For a first-timer or a recurring member there is real value here. The site started adding HD videos in January 2009. Prior to that the videos were available in WMV (852x480, 1500kb/s), and MP4 (720x404, 1000kb/s and 852x480, 1500kb/s). The HD videos are in MP4 and come in at 1280X720 at 3000kb/s. Those aren’t the best the industry has to offer, but they look good on both a monitor and a 50” TV. The network is logically laid out and has a search function and also uses tags. I can’t speak for the effectiveness of those, as I’ll explain. Perhaps the biggest issue with the network is their apparent use of misleading upgrades. Many PU members have reported that all they have done is click on a thumbnail and ended up joining something that they didn’t intend to join – and being billed for it. I have good reason to think that this is an accurate description of what can happen, so in the interests of providing a public service I’ll make four recommendations: • If you only subscribed to the main network, when you go to the main page ONLY click on the link to the “Bang Bros Pack.” That’s what you bought and paid for. Clicking on any other link MAY cause you to join that site. • When you’re in the BB Pack that you bought, be extra careful about using the search function and tags as these MAY bring you scenes in a site outside your pack. Opening that scene MAY cause you to be signed up. • Keep your joining email – it will provide you a link to a site where you can cancel. (This worked for the main network for me, but I did need more effort to cancel the add-on even though I had the right link.) • If you don’t want to be rebilled plan to cancel a bit earlier than usual in case you have problems. Your membership will still be active until the end of the subscription – at least it was for me. (I should also add that even though I had problems cancelling the add-on it was quick and effective.) One other minor issue is that while download managers seem to be permitted, the short life of the links make it impossible to use a manager to queue downloads. Links die after 2-3 minutes, so even with a fast speed (I saw 11MB/s regularly) queuing more than two HD scenes wasn’t worth it. So would I recommend this site? Absolutely. They are among the best – and maybe the best – mega-site on the internet today. They offer something for all but the most extreme tastes, and what they offer is top-quality. The website is logically laid out and easy to use. My bottom line with BB is much like it would be for a lot of sexual activities: have fun, but go in with your eyes open and use protection. 04-17-14  04:37pm Replies (8) Review 112 Hard X (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - New studio site - Affiliated with Open Life and Erotica X - All scenes directed by Mason - Supports download managers - Many choices for viewing scenes - TBP / PU discount - Several ‘firsts’ Cons: - Small site for now - Videos aren’t associated with the DVDs they appear in Bottom Line: Hard X is both a new studio and new website that features videos from the studio. The studio (and site) feature scenes directed by Mason, formerly from the Elegant Angel studio. It’s also a sister site to Mason’s other studio/site Erotica X. Obviously the scenes at Hard X have a much harder edge than those at Erotica X. In my opinion, Mason is one of the best directors in the business. She brings a unique feel to her scenes and brings out the best in her performers. One of the reasons I’ve been waiting impatiently for this site to go live was that Mason has brought a number of ‘firsts’ here. I’m a big fan of anal scenes and Hard X made a (justifiably) big deal over the first anal scenes for Maddy O’Reilly and Annika Albrite. The site promises more in the future too. I’ll deal with the major negative element first, since it will likely be a deal-breaker for some potential members. Because the studio is new they don’t have a big catalogue yet, so the site is small too. There are currently only 30 scenes available. Since the site only launched last week I can’t verify an update schedule, though the site itself has an ‘upcoming’ tab and that shows a new scene being added per week. Yes, I know that seems slow, but this is a new studio and they don’t have a lot to offer yet. A potential member will have to make his or her own decision on value, but with the TBP / PU discount I think this is a great value. I think that this isn’t ‘commodity porn’ but is unique and uses A-list models in scenes with high production values. I like to think of sites like this (and Erotica X too) as high-end steakhouses in a world of greasy buffets. (And yes, I realize that my analogy is unflattering.) TBP reports that the site also offers a full 2-day trial. This would be an incredible value for someone who just wanted to check out what the site has to offer. The other negative is probably more subjective, but when I’m on a studio site I prefer that the videos be grouped by DVD title or capable of being sorted that way. For some reason, Hard X doesn’t do that. I hope as the site grows they add a “DVD” tab. The site is well laid out with four scene per page, each with one large screenshot and two smaller ones. The scenes are titled with the model’s name in the title. There are tags for specific niches and the model’s name is a tag too. Each scene opens into its own page where you have all of the same information and brief description of the scene too. As with all Open Life sites, there are a range of options for viewing and downloading the scenes. Streaming is available in seven resolutions ranging from 160p to 1080p. Downloads are available in WMV format (160p, 240p, 360p and 480p) and MP4 format (160p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080p). I downloaded the 720p and those are 1080x720 at 4800kb/s and 29fps. They look crisp and show no pixilation. Those files are, on average, about 1.3GB in size. I had no problems using a download manager to queue up the scenes I wanted. There were no unreasonable time-outs on the links and my downloads hit and sustained the maximum speed that my manager allows (11mb/s). The bottom line is that I highly recommend that you check this site out of you like hardcore porn with a slightly rough edge. This contrasts well with its sister site where the hardcore is softer and more couples-oriented. The site offers some excellent porn with some of the biggest names in adult these days. The site is well organized and logical. There are lots of options for viewing or downloading the scene too. When you add it up and apply the TBP discount I think this is a great value. As the site grows, it will become an even better value. 03-29-14  10:40am Replies (5) Review 113 Perfect Gonzo (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Collection of 10 sites - Large collection (1600+ scenes) - HD available on many scenes - Good use of niche tags - Supports download managers - Updates by adding one scene to the network every three or four days - Screenshots and photos available Cons: - Scenes can get a bit repetitive Bottom Line: Perfect Gonzo is a collection of ten sites grouped around the main page. While it may be considered a true network because each of the sites serves a clear and distinct niche, all of the scenes are available through the main page too so that means that the sites themselves can act as high-level niche tags to quickly sort in or out preferences or dislikes. The sites available (with some basic details) are: All Internal: 322 scenes, featuring vaginal and anal creampies Ass Traffic: 314 scenes, featuring anal sex Cum for Cover: 82 scenes, featuring blowbangs with facials Fist Flush 68 scenes with fisting (for those with an interest, all of the scenes are g/g only, with some g/g/g and only about 10% of the scenes have any anal fisting) Give me Pink: 259 scenes, featuring solo masturbation MILF Thing: 59 scenes, with MILFs obviously Prime Cups: 158 scenes for large-breast fans Pure POV: 70 POV scenes Sperm Swap: 189 cum-swapping scenes Tamed Teens: 127 scenes with 18 and 19 year old models Each scene is accessible through a medium-sized thumbnail showing the model’s face. That thumbnail opens into a separate page that has tabs for the full scene, screenshots, photos and a trailer. There is a short description of the scene, a hyperlink to other scenes by that model and a series of (hyperlinked) tags for niches in the scene. Members have an opportunity to leave comments and some of those may be useful in deciding if you want to see the scene. Screenshots and photos are available as singles and zips. For video, HD is offered on approximately 70% of the scenes. Where HD is offered there are four choices for downloads, all of which are in mp4 format: 1920x1080 (12Mbit), 1280x720 (5Mbit), 960x540 (2.5Mbit) and 480x270 (1Mbit). File sizes are given before you download so you can decide on which version you want with all the information you need. File sizes for the highest resolution can be a bit daunting, but I appreciate that the site makes them available. I downloaded the 1280x720 resolution and subjectively they look great. Where no HD is available, only the two lower res files are offered. One important point is that the site only began putting the upload date on scenes in July 2013. That makes gathering a lot of stats difficult. What that does reveal is that several of the sites haven’t updated since the dates began being added. These include Cum for Cover, MILF Thing, Pure POV, Sperm Swap and Tamed Teens. What that also means is that when I say 70% of the scenes on the network are available in HD that doesn’t mean that 70% on the sites that are no longer updating are HD. All of the scenes have high production values with the lighting, filming, editing, etc. all being top quality. All of the models are European with many being well known in the adult business. The network is updated every three to four days with one scene being added to the network, not to each updating site. The site supports the use of download managers and if the links time out they do so reasonably because I had no problems with that. One thing prospective members should be aware of is that there’s a lot of anal sex here. For me, that’s no problem. In fact, it’s why I joined. Ass Traffic is all anal, but there are a lot of other anal scenes throughout the rest of the sites. I realize that this next point is subjective, but I found the scenes to be a bit repetitive and sometimes a bit boring. I know this is gonzo, and I know that this means a particular style, but I found that many of the scenes lacked heat. My opinion is that heat is most often formed by sexual tension, and that tension is best built at the beginning of the scene. Most of the scenes here are shot with little interaction between the models before they get down to business. Gonzo can have great set-ups that build tension and heat; just ask John Stagliano. It may be that since many of the models have little English that lessens the ability to create sexual tension. And this is not to take away from the scenes because they are great. (And in fairness, I find directors like Mike Adriano and Jay Sin to be repetitive too, but I still buy and download anything I can that they produce.) The bottom line for me is a bit of a mix. I can definitely recommend that anyone with an interest in the network join. The network has the three things that I think differentiate a great site from a merely good one: they have great porn (hot models and high production values), they have a well-laid-out website and the porn is easy to stream or download. The network offers over 1,600 scenes, many in HD, for a fair price. The volume of high quality porn for a reasonable price makes this a great value. The difference for me is that while I recommend that people join, I likely won’t be back myself, but the reasons for that are purely subjective and shouldn’t be taken into account unless your preferences are like mine. 11-26-13  03:35pm Replies (7) Review 114 Exploited College Girls (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Large site - Mostly unknown models - Models very good looking - Lots of opportunity to see the model’s personality - Includes two other sites - Supports download managers - No obvious time-outs - Scenes are available as a single download or as clips Cons: - Could offer more HD - Could offer niche tags Bottom Line: This site is a recipe for disaster in many ways: it is simplistic, formulaic, mostly POV-based and uses only one male talent. But in this case the site is much greater than the sum of its parts. The simple layout works in this case since the site is based around the female talent, the formula may be the same in every scene but I found that formula added to the heat in the scenes. While POV can be annoying, the male talent here must have some serious practice because this is some of the best POV work I’ve ever seen, and finally, that male talent doesn’t fall into the trap that so many other one-man-shows do – he doesn’t ever lose site of the fact that members are joining to see the girls, not him. The glue that holds this site together is the quality of models that get recruited. While there isn’t a lot of variety, the choice of model is something that aims for the biggest chunk of the market: young, fit, petite, and usually Caucasian. I’m one of those people who like the site’s choice of models and I really like what the site has to offer. To further the appeal, the models are never caked with heavy makeup and dressed in slutty clothes. The site accentuates each model’s natural beauty rather than covering it. A sharp contrast between this site and the sites I normally join is that the sites I normally join use the better known porn models working at the time. I have little experience with amateur sites but with very rare exceptions these are models I’ve never seen before or since. I have no idea how the site recruits the models, but whatever they’re doing they should keep doing it because it works. The scenes all have a common theme: a ‘college girl’ is enticed to dip her toes into the world of porn. The girl’s youth and appearance certainly lends credibility to the overall theme. A viewer could really get lost in the fantasy that this is an otherwise innocent college student who is about to do something nasty for our viewing pleasure. Many of the scenes start with the cameraman / male talent picking the model up. As they drive an interview in conducted which is usually pretty interesting. In many of these scenes the interview progresses to some nudity in the car and is often followed by some road head. In rare cases the girl will actually ride the guy while he drives. Sure, it’s dangerous, but it’s great to watch! Other scenes begin in a hotel room but there is still an interview process. The scenes then transition to some posing, usually some oral on the girl, oral on the guy, sex in multiple positions and finally a money shot, usually on the face. Most of the scenes then have some footage shot after the scene, which is also interesting to watch. The site layout is simple, but simple works here. The scenes all have the same theme so the biggest difference is the model herself. I do wish that there were some tags offered, though there really wouldn’t be many. A tag for anal scenes (there are a few) would be great, and maybe even a tag to sort by the model’s age would be a good addition. One feature that I like a lot is that while a lot of the camera work is POV, there are also two or three fixed cameras set up too. That’s good to provide some variety but the site uses split-screens to capture two views at once. Half the screen might be a shot of the model getting fucked in the doggy position while the other half is a close-up of her face. This is a great effect and really works well. I’m not sure if this is a pro or a con, but many of the older shoots aren’t edited to vary the shots between POV and the fixed camera. Instead, they offer the full scene from either viewpoint. I’m glad they dropped this practice and started editing, but it does offer an option for viewers who prefer one or the other. The site is large, offering about 320 scenes and it updates with one scene being added per week. Each scene is available as a single download or in clips if you’re only interested in a segment. The site supports download managers with no obvious time-outs. Download resolutions vary. The best is 1280x720, 3000kb/s, many are 768x432 at 1800kb/s and the lowest are 640x360 at 1800. All are 30 fps. The older scenes don’t look great by today’s standards, but they aren’t bad. The medium resolution looks pretty good even though the specs would suggest otherwise. I think the biggest flaw is that the site could offer higher resolutions. Also, WMVs are pretty much all that are available. Photos are available as singles or zips. I didn’t download much, but what I saw was relatively low resolution at 1400x788. The bottom line is that this site could have been a total mess if any part of it was badly done, but since all the elements are well done the site is very good on the technical bits. Once you factor in the newness and apparent innocence of the models this is an amazing site that I both highly recommend and have already added to my list of sites to come back to regularly. 08-12-13  04:28pm Replies (2) Review 115 Burning Angel (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - There is a cross-sell on the sign up page but it isn’t pre-checked - Bills through CCBill - Great chance to see some new models - Many familiar porn models appear - Many download options for newer videos - Supports download managers Cons: - No zips on pics - Pics relatively low resolution - No search function - No specific tags Bottom Line: I have to confess that I never expected to be writing a review of a site featuring models with tattoos and piercings, Goth models, punk models and others along that theme. I’m as anti-tattoo as the next guy, except that it turns out I’m not. I’m still anti-tattoo and piercing unless the model goes all the way. The biggest surprise for me was how conventional the porn here actually is. I don’t know what I was expecting, but whatever it was I was wrong. This is a typical porn network that just happens to showcase models with a look that is slightly out of mainstream. The main page is laid out as you’d expect with any network: there are tabs for going to pictures, videos, the individual sites, or sorting by model. One choice conspicuous by its absence is a search function. If it exists on the network I haven’t found it yet. (This lack of search is further worsened by the lack of scene tags. Tags exist, but are too broad to be of a lot of use in specific searches.) The network is made up of eight individual sites. (Cum on My Tattoo, Fuck me in the Bathroom, Heavy Metal Pussy Party, Joanna Angel, POV Punx, Punk Porn, Punk Schoolgirls and Big Boobs are Cool – I’ll post some stats as a comment on each site’s PU page.) While several of the sites have a reason for being stand-alone, several others could just as easily be grouped together. This is neither positive or negative, it’s just a fact. Each site is laid out in the same way: the site opens into a page where there are thumbnails for 20 scenes per page. Under each thumbnail is some basic information about the scene, including a scene name, the genre (girl/boy, solo, etc.), the running length, user ratings and the female star. When you select a scene you get a larger thumbnail and four small thumbnails to give you some idea of what’s in store. Each scene has multiple options for downloads. You can download a trailer, the full scene or the full scene broken down into parts. I have to question the value of offering the scene in parts in 2012, but maybe there are still people with slow internet connections. For each of those options there are usually some choices for file type and resolution. MPEGs are offered (in resolutions up to 1400x800 – 5000kb/s and 24fps – depending on the upload date, of course), as are WMVs in high and low resolutions and a mobile version. These options decrease as you get into older files. Prior to 2010 MPEGs weren’t offered but Quicktime files were. The oldest scenes on the network, which date back to 2007, are often only available in one resolution and only in WMV. The resolution on the oldest scenes is low at 480x360, 1800kb/s and 30fps. This is being a bit picky, but the way the download options are laid out with the trailer as the first option made it too easy to select that instead of the full scene. It didn’t happen to me, but it required that I pay more attention than I’d normally do when just downloading porn. Even having a trailer as a download option seems odd to me, but at least they could put it lower in the option list. The site supports download managers and I had no problem with the links timing out. The network bills through CCBill so you have confidence in that. There is a cross-sell, but it isn’t pre-checked. If the site has a major flaw it is how they provide pictures. I don’t normally download photos but in this case I was looking forward to doing so. I had flagged several models that I really liked that are rare on more mainstream sites and wanted photos too. I was disappointed to see that zips aren’t available and that even if they were, the resolution isn’t great. The newest photos are 1080x720. I know that isn’t bad, but they could be better. Older photos are obviously a lower resolution. I gave up on getting photos since having to save each one individually seems like too much work for porn. The lack of zips really needs to be addressed. I know this is highly subjective, but I found most of the models on the site to be very attractive. I do question why some models appear on the site though. Katie St. Ives has a few scenes here and I’d not normally think of her when I think tattoos, piercings, Goth or punk. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take any of Katie’s scenes when I can get them, but it just doesn’t seem to be a good fit. Dracken posted a comment back in ’09 that the network appeared to be a ‘community’ site for people who like the Goth / Punk / etc. look and lifestyle. That is true. There are blogs and forums for the look, the music and the life. I’m only interested in the naked chicks so I really can’t comment on the non-porn parts of the network. The bottom line is that this is an excellent network. It is well laid out, easy to use and offers some great porn. If you’re like me and want to push your porn boundaries a bit then I’d highly recommend starting with Burning Angel. The models are beautiful and the scenes are hot. 11-24-12  10:01am Replies (9) Review 116 Brazzers (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - 30 sites on the network - TBP / PU discount - Supports download managers - Bills through Epoch - Many options for downloads Cons: - No usable search function - Not a huge amount for people who don’t like big breasts and MILFs - Many of the big breasts are ‘enhanced’ and not natural Bottom Line: I doubt that I’m offending anyone by saying that Brazzers is a network that caters mostly to MILF and large-breast aficionados (and most of those big breasts are enhanced, not natural). So why would a guy who prefers younger and more petite models take a membership here? The answer is simple – Jenni Lee’s first anal scene. Yes, I have to confess that I took a membership just to access one scene. As with my review of Naughty America I realize that there are a lot of reviews already so I’ll review the network from the perspective of someone who prefers younger and more petite models. Is it worth a membership for those of us with those preferences? The network is made up of 30 individual sites each based around a theme. All of the most popular porn themes are represented. Unlike Naughty America, Brazzers doesn’t really have any sites that would specifically appeal to those of us who like younger and smaller models. In contrast, many of the sites are specifically aimed at members who like big breasts, with names like Big Tits in Uniform, Big Tits in Sports, Big Tits at School and Big Tits at Work. So if you like big breasts you’ll know there are lots of scenes for you here. There are currently over 4600 scenes on the network and three more are added daily. The bad news is that many of the sites are currently not updating, though I don’t consider that a negative as the scenes are still available. Each site opens into a separate page where the scenes are listed with a large thumbnail. Each thumbnail has a scene name and lists the female star or stars. Clicking on a scene you want brings up a new page where you can stream or download the scene. Newer scenes have more options available for download, which makes sense, with many offering as high as 1080p. Mp4s are the most common offering with newer scenes being available in SD and 720p and 1080p. One (or sometimes two) WMV resolution is also usually available as is a MPEG version. Many also offer a size for mobile devices too. The size of the file is listed right beside all the choices which is helpful in deciding which resolution you want. This is useful since the 1080p files can top out at more than 2GB. I downloaded the 720p when it was available and it actually comes in at 854x480 and plays at 2000+kb/s and 30fps. Subjectively they look great. Older scenes obviously don’t have HD available or the same range of choices which can be a bit frustrating but even the older scenes look pretty good. I had no problem using a download manager (IDM) and found that the links didn’t time out unreasonably quickly. If this site has a serious flaw it’s the lack of a useful search function. I know other reviewers have commented that the search function isn’t very good, but I’d go further and say it is really non-existent. This is a flaw because the site is huge and covers many themes so relying solely on tags to find material can be problematic. The site does have a series of filters but I didn’t find them to be terribly helpful. And to make matters worse I’d often forget to clear the filters when starting a new search and that would further limit what I found until I realized my mistake. There is also no way to search for individual stars by just typing their name in. You can select the ‘pornstar’ tab which you can then sort by letter. You can further sort that in any of several ways (popularity, number of scenes, etc) with one of the sorts being by name. The problem with this is that the alphabet that Brazzers uses appears to have no connection to the modern alphabet that most English countries use. If you’re looking for a specific star be prepared to manually search through several pages to find her. So does Brazzers offer any value to a potential member who prefers younger and more petite models? Ummm… yeah. Probably. I think what likely tilts the balance towards recommending this network is that there are scenes for guys like us and the discounted TBP / PU price makes it an okay value for people who aren’t into big breasts and MILFs. And they use a reputable biller. (If you’re a fan of large breasts and MILFs then there is excellent value here and I’d highly recommend a membership.) There are scenes for guys like me, though there aren’t as many as I’d hoped, and finding them isn’t made any easier by the flawed search function. But I’d still recommend it. But I’ll likely only be back if they happen to have the world’s first Lexi Diamond anal scene. (This is a bit off topic, but the network produces a couple of high-end porn series. Think of it as if HBO did hardcore. These are interesting and the production values are high – better than most in the industry. In one of the series a young woman is murdered, wrapped in plastic and dumped by a stream. For some reason, Brazzers often uses this shot as their site’s wallpaper. I have a lot of fetishes, but ‘murder porn’ ain’t one ‘em.) 11-10-12  07:26pm Replies (6) Review 117 Reality Junkies (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Part of the Fame Digital network - TBP Discount - Updates every five days - Top quality porn - Many options to stream or download the videos - Videos and photos - Supports download managers - Good download speeds - High production values in the DVDs Cons: - Small site (as of this writing) - Only 41 DVDs as of review date - Not bundled with any bonus sites - Scene links time out after approximately 10 minutes - No zips for the photos - Not much anal Bottom Line: I’m a big fan of many of the Fame Digital sites, especially the two that give access to a wide variety of Evil Angel DVDs. This site is a relatively new addition to the Fame family and if you’re familiar with their premium sites then this one looks a lot like the others. That’s not a bad thing; all the premium Fame sites have a straightforward approach to sorting and accessing the DVDs and scenes. Other sites could learn from their practical approach. The site is laid out well: you can choose to sort by scenes, DVDs or by series name. You can search by star and niche too. Finding what you like here is certainly no problem. The site features titles from the Reality Junkies / Mile High studio. All the Reality Junkies series’ listed on IAFD are represented on this site. There’s a good mix too, meaning that most people could find material they would like. Legal teens and cougars are both well represented. Series’ like Babysitter Diaries, Cougar’s Prey, Couples Seeking Teens, and Pornstar Athletics are all represented here. It seems that just about the only niche that is under-served is anal. For many, that might be a good thing, but for an anal fan it is a bit disappointing. The Reality Junkies studio is relatively new so you won’t find any ‘classics’ here. Also, since they haven’t been around very long that will indicate the models you’re likely to see. Many of my current favourite models make appearances here. Like other Fame sites there are a variety of options for seeing the videos. Streaming and downloading is available and both offer various options. Streaming is available in three resolutions from 240p to 540p. Downloads are available in two formats, WMV and MP4. The WMVs are available in 240p or 480p. I downloaded the 480p videos and they come in at 720x400 at 2200kb/s. They use codec 8 and the videos play at 30fps. I don’t pretend to understand the technical bits of videos, but even though these numbers are lower than on other sites the scenes look great. The MP4s are available in five resolutions from 240p to 1080p. I’d prefer to download the HD stuff, but I hate the players that play MP4s. To further add to your choices, there are five resolutions available for mobile devices, also up to 1080p. There aren’t many other sites that offer such a wide variety of options. Pictures are available, but since this is a DVD site I didn’t download any. They’re decent quality at 1280x763 and there can be a lot of them per scene, but the deal-breaker on photos is that there doesn’t appear to be any zips. There are frequently hundreds of photos per scene so if you want all the photos be prepared to work for them. This is a really odd oversight for a site that gets everything else so right. There are some negatives to the site too, but each member will weigh these as they choose. By far the most serious negative to the site (for now, anyway) is the size of the site. Currently there are only 41 DVDs on the site. Updates are added, but there doesn’t appear to be a schedule for updates as they can occur every couple of days but sometimes there looks to be as much as five days between updates. I can’t say this for sure, but I assume that the updates add a scene like the other premium Fame sites and not a full DVD. Offsetting the small size is the TBP discounted price of $9.95. One caveat with that is you’ll want to remember to cancel your membership before the end of the month as it looks like it rebills at $30. Other minor negatives are that unlike most of the other Fame premium sites this one isn’t bundled with any other sites. That certainly isn’t fatal but it would be a better value if this membership gave you access to other Fame sites. The final negative, which is also in common with other Fame sites is that if you’re using a download manager you’ll find that the links time-out after about 10 minutes. Obviously any prospective member will have to decide if the value is here given the newness and size of the site, but for me the (current) lack of quantity is more than offset by the quality of the site and what it offers. The DVDs themselves have high production values with current A-list stars, and the site offers them to members through a simple and effective interface and high download speeds. To further add to the value, I’m not aware that this studio offers these videos on other sites. The bottom line for me is that this is a site that I was glad I joined and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. 04-30-12  01:25pm Replies (3) Review 118 MetArt (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Enormous site - Huge selection of beautiful models - Models are natural (few fake breasts and tattoos) - Supports download managers - No obvious timeouts on downloads - Good download speeds - High-resolution photos are stunning quality - Options for picture quality - Zips available - Over 1000 videos - Videos available in different formats - Newer videos in HD - Best search function I’ve ever encountered - Excellent value Cons: - Site may be too softcore for some - Site is so large it can be a bit overwhelming Bottom Line: Why did a guy who likes hardcore videos join a softcore photo site, even after I commented that the site was too soft for me? Simple: they emailed me an offer I couldn’t refuse, so I joined. I usually take a short while to get used to site navigation and start figuring out how I’ll go at browsing the site and finding stuff I want. I started that here and quickly realized that this really wasn’t like any other site I’ve ever been a member at. This site is HUGE. I normally try to provide accurate details on what a prospective member can expect from a site. So if a site has 500 videos, I’ll tell you that. With this site, the best I can say is that it is enormous. There are many hundreds of models, maybe a thousand even, each with multiple photo shoots and many with video clips. Just choosing a model to look at can be a daunting task. While on the topic of models, I can’t complain because the type of model on the site is what I look for: young and natural. With a site this size there is lots of variation on body type. I can download the small-breasted lasses while you download the larger-breasted models and neither of us will feel cheated. Same with hair colour. I love redheads and there a dozens of them here. Blondes and brunettes abound. Different ethnicities are represented and there are a few models who are 35 years old. One thing the models do lack are fake breasts and lots of ink. A vast majority of the models are all natural. Many sport pubic hair even. Remember that? I should note, because of the above, that the advanced search function is like nothing I’ve ever encountered before. It allows searching for narrow parameters and the site is so large you’re apt to get some returns. Want some pics of a 30 year old Asian with full pubic hair? If it exists on the site it is easy to find. The site would be unmanageable without this excellent tool. This is primarily a photo site. Anyone thinking of joining this site needs to know that. The site has been around for many years, and I didn’t sample all of the older material. But I can say this with some confidence: they push the limits of technology now so I have no reason to think that they didn’t then. Photos are available as singles, or in a zipped file. High, medium and low resolutions are available. I didn’t sample the lower two resolutions but the high-res photos are stunning quality at 3744x5616. They’re amazing. Obviously older photos won’t be in that resolution. There are some videos available and those are mostly videos of the photoshoots. Some of the older videos are horrible quality, but I won’t hold that against them as it isn’t a video site and those were uploaded years ago. Videos are available in streaming (multiple sizes) and downloads (multiple formats). The default is mp4 though wmv is always available too. The standard resolution for videos (all but the oldest stuff) is 1280x720 @ 4,300kb/s. The wmv files are in codec 9 and play at 30 fps. Higher resolutions are not uncommon. Subjectively, these videos look stunning. Videos tend to be fairly short, with some less than five minutes long. With the technical stuff, the site is as good as with the artistic stuff. There are multiple updates each day, download speeds are good, download managers are permitted and there are no obvious timeouts on download links. I realize the 800lb gorilla in the room with Met Art is that many people see it as being too sterile. It’s as if they stripped the sensuality from their models. I can understand that criticism, but I don’t share it to the same level as some other reviewers. While the site lacks the playfulness that is often found on ALS Scan and FTV Girls, they can be erotic. Where some other solo model sites can be overtly sexual, Met Art is more sensual. There is no hardcore sex on the site at all. I can understand how many would find this simply too soft. I suspect that this is highly subjective though. For example, there is a lot of outdoor posing and posing by and in water which I like so that’s going to improve my perception of the site. I’m left with an odd conclusion. I can definitely recommend this site: I liked it and I’m glad I joined. But I probably won’t put it on my list of sites to rejoin. The reason for that has nothing to do with the quality of the site or the models. The reason is 100% subjective. For a guy who likes sites like Sinnistar and Public Disgrace I’m way out of my element in Met Art. But if you like stunning quality photos of stunning women you really can’t go wrong with Met Art. You could spend months browsing around the site is so large. One final note for the photographers: please don’t pose models with farm animals. It’s weird. Actually, make that ‘don’t pose models with animals.” Period. It’s weird. 01-10-12  03:39am Replies (10) Review 119 Devils Film (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Large selection of DVDs from their studio - Updates regularly - Good variety of old and newer titles - Wide variety of DVDs for many interests - Part of a larger network (Fame Digital) - Some HD available - Downloads and streams available - Mix of American and European stars - Screencaps / pics available - TBP / PU monthly discount price - Great value Cons: - Updates by scene, not by full DVD - Not all studio titles available - Problems using Free Download Manager - Video quality is just average - Download speeds just average - Non-descriptive file names - Lots of compilations - No zips for screencaps /pics - No discernable search function - Very few HD scenes available to download Bottom Line: There are approximately 900 DVDs on this one site alone. One advantage, or disadvantage, depending on your interests, is that this studio has a much broader range of niches than many other mainstream studios. There are the titles featuring fresh, young models, but for those with different tastes there are a lot of ‘unique’ titles too. If you like pubic hair, you’ll find it. There are even titles that feature girls using strap-ons on guys and guys felching their own creampies from girls. One thing I don’t like is that some of the titles are compilations. I don’t think a studio should offer compilations on a site that has the original scenes available. While some of the titles available appear to be newer, it doesn’t appear that the studio is putting up their newest releases. The lack of current A-list stars leads me to think that. I may be wrong on that though, since many of the titles feature European models who I don’t know well, so those may be newer. The good news, if you’re like me, is that there are a lot of older titles available from the past decade or so. The site has a very basic navigation. You can sort by theme, by series name and by title name. You can choose to view DVDs or by single scenes. Downloads are available in low or high wmv files. I didn’t try the low, but the high are not great, but not bad. Resolution is 720x528 at 2000 - 5000kbps. HD is available to download on some scenes, but not many. HD, when available, is only offered in mp4. Streaming is available too, in high and low resolution. I didn’t sample it because I prefer to download. HD is offered in a lot more streaming scenes than for download. Pictures are available, though appear to be screencaps only. I didn’t bother with any though the ones I did look at had a very low resolution (711x480). Zips are not available. The site appears to update daily, but that update is just a scene in a DVD, not the full DVD each day. I used Free Download Manager and had some minor problems: many files would time out. There was a lot of reloading downloads. Using FDM, downloads were normally at 1800kb/s, though it sometimes dropped as low as 1300. One issue is the way the site names the scenes you download. The files have a numeric name that gives no indication of which DVD it’s from. That leaves the user to associate it with the title manually. The biggest drawback is the lack of a search function. There are drop-down menus for series, titles and stars, but there is no way to search for a title or star by just entering that name somewhere. As studio sites go, this is pretty good. The TBP and PU pages seem to link to the mobile site, and on those pages they don’t note the monthly TBP/PU discount. It does exist – at $9.95 a month. Even without all the additional sites, this would be a great value. If you like mainstream DVD porn, this site will keep you happy for a while. 07-15-11  09:56am Replies (8) Review 120 POV Porn (0) 88.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Good quality POV scenes - Part of a bigger (but relatively small) network - Mostly amateur models - Some porn stars, before they were stars - Good selection of scenes - Updates (I’m unsure of the schedule though) - Pictures (but no zips) - The scenes aren’t over-produced; they have a ‘fun’ feel to them - Good value when joining at the TPB / PU price Cons: - Download speeds aren’t up to industry standards Bottom Line: Two things to start: 1) this review pretty much applies entirely to Peter Girls too. They are part of the same network. POVPorn.com is hardcore-themed, while Peter Girls is more softcore, with some oral and handjobs. 2) I wouldn’t normally submit two reviews for a network, but I joined through Lap Dance Gone Bad which turned out to be just a small secondary network site. POVPorn.com and Peter Girls are the main sites and deserve a separate review. I drafted this review a few days ago but didn’t post it. I’m glad I gave it some time since I’ve completely changed my position on this after watching many of the scenes again. This review may be a lot more subjective than I’d usually write. I really like this network. Peter Romero makes some excellent porn. It isn’t technically superior, but that adds to some of the amateur allure. He reminds me of the early days of gonzo porn when it was being shaped by guys like John Stagliano and Joey Silvera. This porn looks like it was fun to make, and that makes it fun to watch too. (Peter – If you read this, PLEASE make more Lap Dance Gone Bad scenes! That is an under-served niche.) It is difficult to say precisely how many scenes are on this one site because there is a lot of cross-linking between the two main sites. The sites appear to date back to 2001 and some of the scenes date back to then. Needless to say, the quality of those scenes is low as was the standard then. Most of the older scenes are also broken into smaller files. Between the two sites there are easily over a hundred scenes. The site says they update frequently and they do update though I’m not certain as to the schedule. The newer scenes are available in three sizes, with the best being 3300kbps. Download speeds aren’t up to industry standards. Average speeds are 250KB/sec. I can report that the medium quality scenes (1000kbps, 640x480) look good. There are also photos available for most of the scenes, but there is no option for zips. The best feature of the site is the models that they have. The site is not skewed to professional porn models, though some are here. Of those, most of them seem to appear very early in their careers. For example, Taryn Thomas appears in 2004 (her career began that year) as Brynne. It’s fun to see her and others so fresh in the early days of her career. Many of the other models are unknown to me and appear to be true amateurs. I’m not a big fan of the POV genre, but Peter makes it work and is able to capture the action well without making himself the star of the scene or shaking the camera so badly that the scene is unwatchable. For POV, this is well done. Joining the network through TPB / PU gets you a reduced price. For that price you get some really decent porn. It has a true amateur feel to it – and I mean that in a good sense. If you like amateurs, porn stars before they were stars or POV, this site is worth a membership. 12-18-10  07:18am Replies (0) Review 121 Lethal Hardcore (0) 87.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Large studio site - Great access to older titles - Updates with a new DVD weekly (four scenes) - Access to much of the back catalogue - Well laid out site - A-list models - Focusing more on ‘teen’ videos over the past year or so - Multiple download options Cons: - Variable download speeds, but slower than other sites - Lower bitrates than on similar sites - Not much anal these days - Some (likely) fake cumshots - No TBP discount Bottom Line: I was pleasantly surprised to see how much this site has changed in the last four years since I last reviewed it, though I did like the site in the past. The site has a completely new look and it has been significantly modernized. The changes are enough to warrant a new review. Some things have remained the same. LH is still a large studio and this is the site where they make their scenes available. While the studio does cater to a variety of niches it really has started to narrow its focus considerably into the ‘teen’ market. There are still other niches but the huge majority of the scenes uploaded over the past few years have been teen-themed. The studio continues to use A-list models. Regarding niches, one of my favourites is largely missing from the studio these days. In the past couple of years it appears that the studio has only produced a couple of anal-themed DVDs. In the past, anal was far more frequent at LH. One narrow niche that is now being well served by LH is rimming. LH always had a couple of series that were dedicated to rimming and while those series are still being added to there are also a lot of rimming scenes in many of the ‘regular’ movies. A rough estimate is that up to 25% of the new scenes added over the past year or so feature rimming. For the most part these scenes are all conventional porn. Most of the scenes are standard B/G with vaginal sex. What sets many of them apart from other studios is the focus on the “teenâ€� aspect. In many scenes the models are dressed as cheerleaders or Girl Scouts. There are some MILF-themed series here but they are significantly outnumbered by the teen scenes. A significant number of the scenes feature Stoney Curtis. Obviously he owns at least a share in the studio so why wouldn’t he give himself the added perk of being the predominant male talent as well? The style of shooting is somewhat unique. It isn’t pure POV but the camera rarely shows the male’s face (not that it is actively hidden) and focuses much more on the woman. For someone like me who likes more variety in how scenes are shot I miss having longer shots but it isn’t such that I would consider it a negative. The site currently has 770+ DVDs and most of these have four scenes. The site updates with one new DVD (with four scenes) added each week. (Benmar reported in a comment that only full movies are downloadable. Not so now – individual scenes are available too.) There is an odd quirk when downloading the scenes. In going through the process to download there is a warning that it may take up to two minutes to start. I never had to wait more than 10 seconds but it is unusual. I found speeds were slower than what I expect on other sites. The best I got was around 50% of the speed I would normally see. Given the quirk of the downloads I didn’t use a download manager to queue the scenes though my download manager did download them individually and worked fine. In looking through my list of cons from my last review it seems most of them have been resolved. The videos no longer start streaming automatically, a pet peeve of mine, none of the DVDs uploaded over the past few years have missing scenes, the tag system is much improved and I noted very few fake breasts this time. There do appear to be some fake cumshots. There are some scenes where the guy comes in the girls mouth but not in a way to see him ejaculate. The woman then dribbles out what looks to be fake cum. My biggest complaint about the site is that the downloads have a lower bitrate then I expect from a major studio like this. The newer scenes are available for download in 360p, 480p, 720p, and 1080p. I didn’t see any scenes offered in 4K. The bitrate for even newer scenes in 720p averages around 2000kb/s and the average for the 1080p scenes is only around 3000kb/s. These low bitrates are noticeable. I’m not generally fussy but when the low bitrates give some pixilation I find that annoying. If there is an upside to this, it’s that the file sizes are all generally small. A 30 minute 1080p is less than 1GB in size. If there is a way to change the streaming resolution I can’t find it. The oldest videos on the site are listed as having been uploaded in 2004. Some of these titles were produced well before that date and, as such, the highest resolution for them is 480p. I’m willing to accept lower resolution and bitrate to get access to the back catalogue of such a large studio. The bottom line is that this site has improved significantly. I recommended it last time and would recommend it more now. The offers older and new scenes that are well shot and feature top models. While the site isn’t perfect it is a great value and worth checking out. If they offered a TBP discount it would be an excellent value. 05-13-20  02:17pm Replies (2) Review 122 Hussie Auditions (0) 87.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Website by a popular porn agency - Lots of claimed ‘firsts’ - ‘Fresh’ models - 74 scenes - Updates weekly - Logical website design - Supports download managers - Bills through CC Bill Cons: - Bitrates are all over the map - Wide chasm between file sizes - Some file sizes and resolutions are mislabelled - Scenes start playing automatically Bottom Line: Hussie Auditions is a website by the well-known porn agency Hussie Models. I’m not aware of any other agencies who produce their own porn but it makes sense. What better way to introduce a new model than to have a scene with her on your own website? Because the site is affiliated with an agency two things are obvious. First, most of the models here are relatively new to the business (at the time they shot their scenes) so if you like the ‘freshest’ porn models this site is worth looking at. Second, the site claims a lot of ‘firsts.’ That also makes sense since the agency hires models looking to get into the business and they shoot her first scene. You’ll find a lot of first scenes, first B/G and first interracial here. (Also, since many models start their adult careers in strip clubs some show off their lapdance skills. The Kenzie Reeves scene is worth the subscription for that alone.) Most of the models fit the typical porn type here, meaning they’re young (18-22) and usually petite. But the site doesn’t have that type exclusively. There are a few older models (Tara Asley is a bad example of ‘older’ since at 32 she still looks 18) and there are several Asian models, several models of colour and several mixed race. The scenes are pure gonzo in that there are no plots or any kind of scene setup. The models appear, they have sex, the scene ends. Most scenes open with a fun interview that can last several minutes. I suspect that many people will just skip to the naughty bits but these interviews are a lot of fun to watch. ‘Fun’ is a good way to describe most of the scenes too. The models appear to be having a lot of fun and the scenes can get a bit zany too. In one, for example, Hannah Reese is naked and sitting on top of the male talent’s head while using a Magic Wand on herself. If you like rough, degrading porn you won’t find that here. While the scenes can be zany they are usually conventional too in that most are boy/girl. There are several with multiples and a couple of gangbang scenes. I didn’t see any girl/girl scenes and there are only two anal scenes available. (The gangbangs didn’t have anal in them.) There are currently 74 scenes available with a new scene being added weekly. The site is logically laid out with the scenes being offered chronologically or sorted by model. There is a search function but there are no tags. One pet peeve I have is that when you load a scene page the scene starts playing automatically. This is a trend that needs to stop. The scenes are available in streaming or downloads. There are at least two, and usually three, streaming options with the best usually at 1080p. Downloads are mostly available in three resolutions but a few only have two. If there is one flaw on this site it’s that there is no standardization in bitrates. That causes two issues: there is often a wide chasm between options and file sizes can be huge. A subset of this problem is that the actual resolution can be mislabelled. Further, in a few cases the file size listed is incorrect. I went to download a file that was listed at 900MB and discovered that it was actually 5GB. The lowest resolution available is usually 480p. 720p and 1080p are also available. Some files are actually 3840x2160 but listed as being 1080p. I downloaded mostly the 1080p files and the bitrates varied from about 2000 to 15,000 kb/s. That has a huge effect on file sizes. This is an extreme example, but one scene had the 720p download at 350MB and the next step to 1080p was over 5GB. (To be fair, that was probably one of the mislabelled 3840x2160 files.) Bitrates on the 720p files varied a bit too but not as much. Those are anywhere between 2000 to 4000 kb/s. The site supports download managers and I didn’t find any download limits. The site bills through CC Bill so you can join knowing your information is safe and you can cancel easily. The bottom line is that while I only stumbled on this site recently and entirely by accident I’m really glad I did. The porn is mostly mainstream but with a fun twist added for extra passion. This is a site that I’ll rejoin periodically in the future. If there is a specific model you’re looking for who has a scene here this is a site you should consider joining. Even if all the models are new to you, the site is worth it. 03-18-18  12:33pm Replies (1) Review 123 Mormon Girlz (0) 87.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Unique porn concept - Site works hard to play up the fantasy - Good mix of models and scene types - 4 resolutions available for download - Streaming available - Some photos available - Supports download managers (with some limitations) - Bills through CC Bill Cons: - Site has some flaws - Navigation is difficult - Models aren't identified (see comments below) - Streams at low resolution only - Occasional delays in downloads Bottom Line: This site needs some explanation because it isn't like anything else I’ve seen and it really doesn’t lend itself well to any categories. It’s fair to say that the sex itself is fairly standard; this isn't a fetish site in the true sense. The porn is what you’d get in any mainstream site: boy/girl, girl/girl, 18-22, MILF and groups. What makes the site unique is the setup for the scenes and how much effort the site puts into making that setup seem real. The site is, as the name makes clear, about Mormons. Sure, there are sites that play up a conceit and allow the viewer to imagine that the scene is what it says it is. A good example is the recent use of incest in porn. But unless you’ve just arrived on this planet you know that the actors are just acting – they aren't really related. To further illustrate my point, you’d have to believe, for example, that Megan Rain and Brandon Iron are related in real life when any avid porn collector knows they are professional porn stars. But Mormon Girlz does things differently. The scenes attempt to make things seem much more realistic, with the locations, clothes and even setup being realistic. One thing that makes it easier for the site to do this is that given the secrecy of the Mormon Church to outsiders any of this could be true. How do I know that they don’t have these sexually charged anointings of women when they hit 18 or 19? The use of traditional Mormon undergarments is a way that the site blurs the line between fantasy and reality too. For those of us with little or no knowledge of the inner workings of the Church all of this could be real. (The rituals, not the scenes.) Another way that the site helps create the feeling that these scenes could be real is by the use of just-off-mainstream stars. Don’t get me wrong – the site has beautiful women but they aren't the big stars of the day. Using the biggest stars like Jillian Janson or Jada Stevens would make it immediately clear that this is all fantasy. So to help maintain that they have models who for whatever reason haven’t wanted to be big stars. The site has models such as Lily Cade, Bethany Skye, Gwen Stark and Cadence Lux. These are all stunning porn stars but to the average viewer who steals more porn than he buys they may be unknowns. To keep the fantasy going, the models are listed by names different from their stage names. So, for example, Cadence Lux is called “Sister Kara” on the site. The site doesn’t have the models perform just one scene. All of the models have a series of scenes with various rituals and those usually include b/g and g/g. It seems that a group of models will be signed on to do multiple scenes and then after those scenes are done a new group is signed up. So what are the scenes like? This is subjective, but given the setup, which usually has some power imbalance within a ritual, I think they are hot bordering on incendiary. The site itself is what you’d expect in any porn site. The videos are available for streaming or download. The streaming is only in one resolution and it seems much lower than you’d expect. Downloads are available in four resolutions: 640x360 (600kb/s), 960x540 (1300kb/s), 1280x720 (2200kb/s) and 1920x1080 (5000kb/s). All scenes are 23fps. I downloaded the 1080p scenes and they look good. Not great, but good. There are currently 135 scenes available and the site updates with the addition of one new scene per week. The site has some annoying flaws in how it’s laid out. For one thing, selecting the video tab and then trying to advance through the pages shows those links don’t work. If you go to the “Girls” tab, though, there is a separate tab at the top of the page that allows you to access all updates. But you have to click “more” many times to get to the earliest scenes. This isn't a deal-breaker, but it’s annoying. The site supports download managers but only seems to allow a limited number of scenes (8 or so) to be queued up at one time. I also noticed on several occasions that rather than the download starting I got a message that the download was waiting for an available socket. I’m not sure what that means, but I’m guessing that since this is a small site in a rare niche that they can’t handle a large amount of traffic at once. This is a personal preference and I understand that the site tries to maintain the fantasy that this is real, but as a collector who catalogues my collection by models I would like to know the stage names of all the models. The bottom line is that the pros of the site far outweigh the cons. The pros are a unique site with some hot porn featuring a variety of models. The scenes go beyond what you’d expect to create the air of reality and they seem so real as to be a bit creepy – in the sexy sense. The cons are minor and could be easily fixed. I highly recommend giving the site some serious consideration. 10-27-16  04:45pm Replies (0) Review 124 Desperate Pleasures (0) 87.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Unique site - Large site (600+ videos) - Broad range of fetishes - Good mix of model types - Supports download managers - Bills through CC Bill - Some A-list models - Good mix of body types and ages, amateur and pro Cons: - Outdated website - No download options Bottom Line: I wasn’t aware that this site and studio existed and only discovered it when looking for some older man / younger girl porn. This site offers a lot of that but since it was marketed as a fetish site it also offers a lot of other stuff too. The site claims that its origins come out of the 2008 recession when the site owner turned to porn to make a living. The interesting part of that decision is that if the owner is the guy who is in most of the videos, he’s the last person you’d expect to be in porn videos. He’s a typical middle-aged guy with a bit of a belly and an average dick. And he might be the luckiest man alive. For a fetish site it has a broad range of niches that it caters to. In the early days (around 2012) the scenes were frequently bondage with tickling. This isn't a hardcore BDSM site as with Kink or sites like that; it’s much tamer and more playful. As the site progressed there are videos uploaded with footjobs. There are a few biting videos and a few balloon videos (I didn’t know those were porn things). The more recent scenes seem to have more young girl / old guy (with the guy being the site owner, presumably). Many of these push the limits by having an incest theme but unlike the major studios that do these scenes with a stepfather/step-daughter, this site goes right for the daddy/daughter thing. To make this even creepier, many of these scenes are what I’d guess you’d call the impregnation niche. Throughout the site you’ll also find regular updates with MILFs and lesbians. Sex with pregnant models is also fairly common. The site has a good mix of known pornstars and lesser knowns (to me, at least). Some of the models may be fetish models and some of them may be genuine amateurs. With a broad range of models you also have a broad range of looks and body types so there is likely something here for everyone. Both the scenes and the site have a very amateur feel to them. The site is about as simple as you’d expect from a ‘studio’ that appears to be run by a couple of people who run the whole operation. Remember what sites looked like in the 1990s? That’s what this site looks like. Navigation is simple as it is all laid out on 28 pages of videos. Each scene has a medium-sized thumbnail which plays a gif so you can get a sense of what the scene offers. There is a search function but I didn’t find it to be accurate. The camerawork and editing aren't up to major studio standards, but that really isn't a pro or a con, it just is. I like the amateur feel that the camerawork brings to the scenes and it isn't bad enough that it detracts from the scene or distracts the viewer unless you’re really fussy. The site doesn’t offer any download options. You get what they offer. All of the videos are in WMV format and all of them are in 1280x720 resolution. The big variable is that the older scenes have bitrates of 1500kb/s while the newer scenes have bitrates of up to 6000kb/s. They all have a framerate of 29fps. Obviously the newer scenes look better. The site has approximately 600+ videos. It does update but the updates aren't dated (the older ones are) so I can’t really say for sure what the update schedule is. The most recent update saw six new videos added at once and it looks like they do a bulk upload approximately once a week. The site does offer photos but only as a standalone set. The video shoots usually don’t have a photo option and the photo sets don’t usually offer video. The site is much more heavily skewed to video so if you’re a photo collector you may want to think carefully before joining. The photos are 1200x800 so certainly not high resolution. The bottom line? That’s sort of hard to say. Arguing against a recommendation is the fact that the site is pretty amateurish and the video quality isn't up to standard. On the pro side, however, this is some good porn in some unusual niches. I joined to get access to the older guy/younger girl scenes and these are really well done. I’m not into tickling so I can’t really comment on those but I have no reason to think that a person with a tickling fetish wouldn’t like the site as much as I do. So with the caveat that you need to know what you’re getting I’d say this is a definite recommendation if any of the fetishes are to your liking. If you’re into couples oriented artcore then you likely won’t be happy here. But if you like your dirty movies with an extra dose of dirty, you should check this site out. This site is definitely on my list to rejoin regularly. 08-29-15  04:42am Replies (6) Review 125 Tushy.com (0) 87.0 Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Rare plot-based, softer-edged anal site - Excellent quality scenes - Updates weekly - A-list porn models - Several scenes listed as first anals - Multiple download options - Supports download managers - Photos as singles or zips Cons: - New and still small - Expensive for the current size of the site - Some issues with download managers - Site won’t remember username / password Bottom Line: Tushy.com is a rare site that features anal sex in plot-based scenes that border on having couples appeal. The site is clearly aiming for a different market from many other anal sex sites where the goal there is more to turn the event into an endurance test for the model. Here there is a short scene set-up followed by some sex where there is some chemistry between the models that just happens to have some anal sex thrown in for good measure. As another PU member has pointed out, this site looks a lot like another site in quality and feel. Tushy.com is run by Greg Lansky who is also behind Blacked. For those who don’t know Blacked, it is a site that offers high quality, plot-based interracial porn. The fact that Lansky is behind this new site gives me a lot of hope that it will be as good as Blacked. (The only worry that I have is that has Lansky stretched himself too far in opening another site? Will Blacked be lower quality and will Tushy not hit the lofty mark set by its sister site? I hope that both remain excellent quality.) Because the site is new it is still quite small with only 12 scenes uploaded. The site does update with the addition of a new scene each week. The site still charges the full rate even though they’re new and small. (I prefer the model used by Swallow Salon where the price is lower presumably in part to reflect the small size. I also understand that the porn that Tushy.com produces – anal and expensive production costs – is far higher than oral scenes on one set.) As with all good porn sites, this one offers some choice in how members can access the scenes. Scenes are only available in MP4 format and in various resolutions: 1080p, 720p, 480p, 480p mobile, 360p mobile and 270p mobile. Streaming is also available in RESOLUTION. I downloaded the 720p scenes as they were the best compromise between size and quality and those come in at a high bitrate of over 8,000kb/s and a framerate of 29fps. Subjectively they look great and I’d recommend testing a few of the 1280p scenes before you immediately go for a higher resolution. Streaming is also available but I can’t tell the resolution. It looks to be HD though. Trailers are available for each scene too. Photos are available too. They look more like stand-alone photos rather than screencaps, which is what I’d expect of a site that pushes quality. The photos are available as singles and zips and the zipped photos come in at 3000x2000. The site supports download managers but I did encounter a problem initially. When you click to download a scene a pop-up with the download options comes up. Selecting the resolution started the download outside my manager. I wasn’t a big deal to get it to download with the DM and then cancel the other download. This only happened on the first day I was a member and that issue hasn’t recurred since. Several of the scenes are listed as being first anals. As a collector of that specific niche it’s great that this site may be offering more of that. While all the scenes look like they’re exclusive to this site I can’t say for sure. The two most recent updates have the word ‘Exclusive’ splashed across the thumbnail leaving me to think that the others may not be exclusive. I buy a lot of porn, and specifically a lot of anal porn and I’ve never seen these scenes before. I mentioned that most of the scenes have a softer feel to them than in a lot of other anal sites. The exception to this is the one scene I joined to get access to, and that’s a very rare anal scene from Kacey Jordan. I’m only aware of one other anal scene she’s done (for Dirt Pipe Divas) so no one is going to call her an anal queen. Maybe she’s playing this as part of the role in the scene, but she doesn’t look too comfortable throughout the lengthy anal sex part of the scene. But most, if not all of the other scenes are like this. The bottom line is that with the current size of the site it’s hard to argue that it offers good value for the monthly fee of $30 but the value equation has to take into consideration the quality of what’s offered here too, and it’s fair to say that this is excellent quality porn. It’s also worth noting that the site continues to grow. I know that not everyone will agree with me, but I think value is more about quality than quantity. If you like softer anal scenes you really should check out this site. 07-06-15  05:12pm Replies (5) Shown : 101-125 of 302 Page : Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13    < Previous Page - Next Page > Home - Sites - Users - Reviews - Comments - Categories - Forum Contact Us - Announcements - FAQ's - Terms & Rules - Cookies - DMCA - 2257 - Porn Review - Webmasters Protecting Minors We are strong supporters of RTA and ICRA, two of the most recognized self labeling organizations.
