Pros: |
- Site updates by adding one scene every three or four days
- Offers streaming and (some) downloads
- Pictures offered |
Cons: |
- All videos, even new ones, are broken down into clips
- Slow download speeds
- Older videos would have been low resolution even when they were filmed
- Navigation is strange
- Not all scenes can be downloaded, just streamed
- Website design is poor
- No search function
- No independent biller |
Bottom Line: |
I realize that I can be correctly chastised by the members here for joining a site that is almost universally panned by reviewers. And the only review that graded the site fairly high was short on detail and long on subjectivity. But given that Im on a public nudity kick lately and this network has a public nudity site I figured that it couldnt be THAT bad. This network might just be the worst Ive ever joined.
The network is a collection of 20 unrelated sites that cover most of the usual porn niches with some emphasis on interracial scenes. Apart from the public nudity site I was also looking for access to several sites that feature parties like Frat House Fuck Fest and Bachelor Party Fuck Fest. The odd thing about the site is that at first glance it looks fairly well designed. It looks like many other decent networks, but when you start actually using the site you soon realize that there are serious design flaws.
Some readers may question this approach, but I will admit that Im reviewing this site after downloading and viewing very little of whats available. Id normally download and view a lot of scenes from a site before giving an opinion of it, but in this case while there are definitely scenes Id like to see it isnt worth the time or hard drive space to have them. All of the videos on the site are available only as clips. Even the newest videos dont offer a full video option. I can understand why this was done in 2002, but in 2012 it is a very rare person whos internet speed dictates getting clips. To make matters worse, while the specs on the newest scenes seem reasonable, the videos actually look blocky and pixilated. Add to that that the cameraman cant hold the camera steady and that movement causes the pixilation to seem worse. The videos are difficult to watch. The newest videos come only as WMVs and are 720x480 at 1700kb/s and 30fps. I dont understand how all the tech stuff is inter-related, but subjectively these videos look terrible.
For older videos things are worse. I joined specifically to get access to Butt Naked in the Streets and was sorely disappointed in that. Its rare to have a public nudity site featuring well-known American porn models in an American city so I had high hopes. Unfortunately the older videos come in at just 320x240 at 330kb/s and only 8fps. Im confident in saying that when these were uploaded several years ago they werent even close to being up to industry standards then, so in 2012 they look truly awful.
Download speeds are also well below what Im used to with modern sites. I dont know if the older files are on a different server, but the older files I downloaded came in at speeds I havent had to endure in years. The average speed I got was about 130kb/s. Thats KILOBYTES! I saw speeds drift down to double digits frequently. Things were a little better with the newer files, with the average speed around 3MB/s. Thats about half the speed Im used to with other sites.
Im not sure why, but many of the scenes cant be downloaded, they can only be streamed.
There doesnt appear to be any kind of search function at all. No tags either, so you just have to sort through the individual sites.
The network does update with one scene being added every three days.
The site has no independent biller. I cancelled my membership just hours after joining. Cancelling seemed easy and I got a confirmation email but Ill be watching for additional billing in the future since one commenter had a problem.
The site navigation is strange and difficult to use. Selecting a site on the network brings up a window within your browser. Not a new window or a tab, but this floating thing that is superimposed over the main page. You need to scroll through it but its too easy to accidently scroll on the main page which then moves the floating widow out of your view. And too frequently I clicked my browsers back button instead of closing the floating window, thereby kicking myself back to the login screen. This method seems to be an attempt to be innovative but it doesnt work and just seems gimmicky.
Thanks to TBP and PU I rarely get burned in a membership and had I trusted the members here more Id have avoided this disaster. Ive been on a public nudity kick recently and having access to the public nudity site seemed to justify the risk but it didnt pay off. The best I can hope for now is that someone may read this and the other reviews and avoid this network. The porn here is actually pretty good, but it is so poorly shot and accessing it is so difficult that it doesnt make a membership worthwhile. I am definitely NOT recommending this network. The disappointing thing is that the themes on many of the sites are pretty good. The guys who hire the talent and think up the themes should fire the cameraman, editor and webmaster and start over. |

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. Im 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. Youll 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 theyre young (18-22) and usually petite. But the site doesnt 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 talents head while using a Magic Wand on herself. If you like rough, degrading porn you wont 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 didnt see any girl/girl scenes and there are only two anal scenes available. (The gangbangs didnt 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 its 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 didnt 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 Im really glad I did. The porn is mostly mainstream but with a fun twist added for extra passion. This is a site that Ill rejoin periodically in the future. If there is a specific model youre 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. |

Pros: |
- 1800 Hustler DVDs
- Supports download managers
- Many scenes are 1280x720 (bitrate varies)
- Files offered as streaming or video
- Files offered with some choice of type and resolution |
Cons: |
- Only the most recently uploaded scenes have good video quality (approximately 600 of the DVDs)
- Not really a network
- Trial membership is now limited to streaming 5 scenes
- Search function doesnt work well
- Sort function doesnt work well
- Scenes start streaming immediately watch your speakers!
- Lots of ads
- Many DVDs have scenes missing |
Bottom Line: |
Ill admit that this site probably hasnt changed much since the last time I reviewed it, so the big difference in scoring and comments comes from how Ive changed recently when it comes to collecting porn. Ive recently deleted a lot of my collection because the quality was so poor and this site didnt set a high bar for video quality. I think my approach to this site can be summed up by saying if you dont care too much about quality and like lots of porn, get a membership here. If you prefer quality over quantity, the site is still worth a membership, but go into it with your eyes open as this is not a site that offers cutting-edge quality.
If youre like me and prefer quality over quantity, allow me to save you some time and frustration if you take a membership here. Any DVD or scene labeled as HD is fairly good quality, though it is not among the best on the net. The resolution is 1280x720 and the bitrate is 3000kb/s. Scenes uploaded after 2010 (which is about one quarter of whats available here) that are labeled as Super quality also come in at 1280x720 and a 3000kb/s bitrate. These also look pretty good. (I dont know why some are labeled HD even though the specs are the same as files not so labeled.) Thats the good news.
The bad news is that the site must have changed codecs or made some amendments at some point in 2010 or 11 because even though the specs show 1280x720 and 3000 some of the scenes with those specs dont look good. Thats bad because there is no obvious way to tell them apart other than watching each scene and deciding if the quality is good enough.
The ugly news is that the majority of the videos uploaded are still 1280x720 (older videos are lower) but come in at lower bitrates of 1700 and lower. On a 24 monitor I found these scenes to be unwatchable. Dark colors showed lots of pixilation and even edges like arms looked blocky. Movement made them look worse, and lets face it, sex (and therefore porn) without movement would be kind of pointless. I tried downloading both the mp4 and wmv versions but both were equally bad.
The site does support download managers with long timeouts. There is no obvious download limit.
The site does continue to update at what looks to be a scene per day. I cant be certain because sorting the scenes or DVDs by latest added doesnt work well. I did that and found newer scenes mixed in with scenes uploaded a week ago. At least the updates are dated so you can figure out whats new. It also appears that as long as the scene was taped recently the quality will be good. If the upload is a classic, the quality wont be there.
The site bills itself as a network, but it really isnt in the true sense. The sites are all listed on the main page but if you go to the main Hustler site youll get access to everything. One thing youll see lots of regardless of the site youre on are ads. They arent obtrusive, and they arent pop-ups so I can live with them.
If youre thinking that you can join with the trial membership and get in, get what you want and get out, think again and read my comment on that.
The search function works marginally well, but I found that it often returned results that werent even remotely related to my search.
My final major beef with the site is that scenes are missing on many DVDs. In one example, Taylor Rain is on the box cover but her scene isnt offered. This is frustrating if youre hoping to find a specific scene.
One quirk I found was that finding the members entrance was a real chore. The main page has links to join, but not for members to enter (that I could find anyway). The workaround was to go in through the back door using one of the sites listed as being part of the network. This seems like an odd oversight.
The bottom line is that this site can be a decent value for specific purposes. The site gives you access to Hustlers best known series, Barely Legal, and if you like parodies Hustler shoots lots of them. The biggest problem is that while there are 1800 DVDs on the site, only about 600 of them have video quality that most collectors would find acceptable in 2013. Thats still a lot of porn though, so the value is still pretty good. If you do join, at least you can say you were warned. |

Pros: |
- Large Network (access to 18 sites)
- Variation in site themes
- Supports download managers
- No obvious time-outs
- Site updates daily (one scene per day)
- Great price, great value |
Cons: |
- Search function is limited
- Streaming starts automatically when scene page loads |
Bottom Line: |
Hustler Mega Pass really isnt a network in the true sense of the word as applied to online porn. I define a network as a collection of unique sites available through one umbrella site and that isnt the reality here. Here there are 1500+ DVDs that are categorized into any of several possible niches. What I mean is that if there was a DVD titled Anal Teens and Big Dicks (thats trademarked, BTW, for when I retire and start a porn company) the DVD would appear on the anal-themed site and on the big-dick-themed site. That isnt necessarily bad, but Hustler makes it worse by putting different scenes on each site. If, for example, one of the anal teens sported big breasts, that scene might only be available on the big breast site. It appears, but havent confirmed it, that the complete DVDs may be available on the main Hustler site. The problem with that is that on DVD pages there are no tags so you have to open each scene to see any tags.
The sites here are fairly standard, and Im not saying thats a bad thing. There are the sites that cater to those who like legal teens, amateurs, MILFs, Black women, classics, anal sex, transsexuals and even a site that showcases Hustlers parodies. There is something for most preferences.
I realize that MiztaBlu recently did a review of the same network and found a lot wrong with it. I agree with some of those concerns, but I also have to add I didnt experience the problems that he did. For example, I didnt find audio or video playback problems. So far the videos are working fine for me. Ive been a member here before and those older videos still work fine for me too.
One warning: all sites here follow a new trend. When you click on a scene it starts to stream right away. Thats bad enough, but what bugs me is that it continues to load even if you stop or pause the scene. To me, this seems like an enormous waste of bandwidth unless someone really wants streaming. And if someone really wants streaming just let them click a button to start that.
The network does seem to promote streaming since all the many streaming options are readily available while the download options must be selected through a pull-down menu. Streaming options are for MP4, FLV and WMV. You can also choose the quality of the stream. I prefer downloads so really cant give any opinion on the streams except to say that they shouldnt start automatically.
The sites are all well laid out and are easy to navigate. Theyre divided by scene (labeled by performer) and also listed by DVD. Clicking a scene opens to the streaming and download options, and clicking on the DVD opens to large thumbnails of the scenes in the DVD. In an earlier review of VCA XXX, which is part of this network, I noted that a lot of the scenes are mislabeled or not labeled at all, and in some cases the thumbnails are wrong. That seems to be a problem exclusive to VCA XXX because the problem doesnt exist on the other sites.
Downloads are available in a variety of formats and resolutions. The most commonly available format is WMV though most scenes are also available as MP4s. Resolutions vary, but HD isnt available on many scenes. In this area, Hustler is really lacking. I download WMVs and I suspect the highest available resolution depends on when the scene was uploaded. Resolutions range from 320x240 at 1200kp/s, through 720x480 at 1300kb/s to 864x480 at 2100kb/s and finally through to 1280x720 at 3100kb/s. By far, the most commonly available are the 720x480. Thats fairly low by todays standards, but subjectively they look good.
On the plus side, the network offers DRM-free access to a lot of good Hustler material. There are a lot of options for streaming and downloading and the video quality, while not the best available, is still pretty good.
On the downside, the site would be better organized if they just had one Hustler site with good tags that could be searched. The name Hustler has a lot of brand recognition among porn buyers so just offering 1500+ Hustler DVDs should be enough to entice anyone to join. Other minor negatives are the weak search function. Searching anal for example, brings up anal scenes but not DVDs. That may sound fussy, but I prefer to associate scenes with DVDs and this site can make that difficult.
The bottom line is that the good definitely outweighs the bad and by a wide margin. Hustler makes some excellent porn and this site gives access to a lot of it. It could be better, and with a large catalogue I wish they offered more, but it is a good site offering good value and Id definitely recommend it. |

Bottom Line: |
Warren Buffett is reported to have once said that it is good to learn from your mistakes but it is better to learn from other peoples mistakes. Sadly, Im more Homer Simpson than Warren Buffet, so if I could title this review it would simply be called Doh!
I recently had an email offer to join Hustler that didnt make a lot of sense to refuse. I didnt bother to do my usual due diligence and read the TBP/PU reviews. Had I done that Id have seen that the overwhelming opinion was negative and the most recent review was from one of the best reviewers here, exotics4me, and he scored the site low. But I figured what could I lose by signing up? It turns out I lost $5 that I could have used towards a membership at a good site.
Id say that Hustler is badly organized but that wouldnt be entirely accurate as that implies that there is at least some attempt at organization. I dont get that sense here. Let me give an example
Hustler has been around for a long time and one of their showcase series is Barely Legal. Like it or not, any porn collector knows of it. So if you ran the Hustler website wouldnt you want to showcase that? Apparently not. Barely Legal is exactly the kind of porn I look for and if there was a way to separate those scenes I wasnt able to find it. On many occasions I opened a scene that had no obvious connection to the BL series and it was only on playing it that it was identified as such.
Speaking of playing the scenes, be warned that the scenes start streaming immediately when you open the page. I really wish sites wouldnt do this.
Scene resolutions are all over the map and even the usual indicator of upload date has no real bearing on this. I encountered scenes that were relatively new (based on the model) that were available as high as 480p only. Many scenes are available at 720p but there is no way to sort by resolution. Some scenes, but not many, also offer 1080p. These look good but are few and far between and finding them is a fishing expedition.
Trying to sort by models isn't a big help either. When using the model index many dont have a thumbnail photo even though they are well-known stars. Sometimes the same model will be listed side-by-side with a different alias or spelling, as is the case for the late Amber Rayne who is also listed as Amber Rain... on the same page.
Some of the scenes are so badly edited for the site that they start as the sex is starting, though on the DVD there would be something before that. For example, in one Angel Smalls scene there is a dick in her within one second of the scene starting. Clearly this is just editing and all the set-up and foreplay has been removed.
Hustler is primarily a DVD company and while some of the videos can be identified by the DVD there is no way that I could find to sort the scenes by DVD title. If there is a title that indicates something you like, you may or may not find other scenes from the DVD. Sometimes those scenes are at the bottom of related scenes but sometimes they aren't.
The site does have a couple of things going for it. For one; its huge. There are currently over 12,000 scenes available with a new scene being added daily. There are sub-sites but I suspect that those are rolled into the overall count. (But that isn't exactly clear.) I should be clear that while a scene is added daily, that doesnt mean the scene is new. A recent update featured a model who retired five years ago.
The other great thing about the site is that it offers all issues of the famous Hustler magazine from 2008 to the present. These are available on an easy-to-use interface that allows users to flip through the pages. I know this is nit-picking, but magazines aren't the draw they once were. As someone who discovered porn as an early-teen though Playboy, Penthouse and then Hustler, I would have relished the opportunity to see editions from the late-70s to the early-80s.
Unfortunately the positives of this site aren't many, so Ill start back in with the negatives. I collect and catalogue scenes by the model in them and I was disappointed that a lot of scenes here simply dont have any credits. While it isn't entirely accurate to say that these are non-exclusive scene (since they are Hustler scenes on the Hustler site) many of these are available elsewhere.
The bottom line for me is that this is a site that has some good porn that is seriously undermined by the site itself. In some reviews even when the site isn't well laid out I still feel comfortable recommending it to someone who is looking for a specific niche that the site fills. But in this case I cant do that because the site is so poorly laid out that finding something specific would be more about luck than organization. I rarely give poor scores and reviews, but this site deserves it. Even with a TBP discount this site isn't a good value. |

Pros: |
- Unique and interesting site
- Part of a larger network
- Supports download managers
- Good video quality
- High production values
- Lots of well-known models
- Updates regularly
- TBP / PU discount |
Cons: |
- Save your confirmation email so you know what website to use to cancel
- Not much interaction between performers and viewers on the live shoots |
Bottom Line: |
This site is part of the My XXX Pass network but it is relatively unique and I figured worthy of a review.
First, I should point out that even though the main claim of the site is that the posts are recorded live I didnt actually watch any of them as they were being streamed. All of the shoots are available as part of the archive and are easily downloadable so that was what I opted for. Given that the shoots are recorded as they were happening I was a bit disappointed to see that there really isnt much interaction between the performers and the viewing members. In the scenes where there was communication via chat that added to the heat of the scene. Regardless of this oversight, the shoots are still great to watch but for a live site they lack that extra element of interaction that usually comes with live shoots.
The site is further broken down into ten categories, most of which have self-explanatory titles. These are (with the number of scenes currently on the site in brackets):
Boot Camp (7)
Cocksucking Challenge (48)
Fuck a Fan (2)
Immoral Live (22)
Immoral Orgies (60)
New Girl in Town (31)
Squirtamania (99)
Titterific (54)
Toss My Salad (19)
Wheel of Debauchery (76)
This is, admittedly, very subjective, but I found the Wheel of Debauchery scenes to be the most fun to watch. The gimmick is a large wheel with various sex acts written around the edge so the model spins it and does what the wheel lands on. (The funny part is that there is, quite obviously, someone laying down outside the cameras view stopping the wheel on specific acts. That makes sense, since a model who doesnt do anal isnt going to start just because the wheel stops on anal.) I also like the premise of Fuck a Fan and hope they shoot more of those.
Most of the scenes feature some of the biggest names in porn so you know there will be a high level of professionalism. The professionalism applies to the production values too, with the camerawork and lighting being well done too.
The site updates regularly with a new live scene being shot every several days. I dont know how long it takes to upload a scene to the archive but it doesnt appear to be too long.
The site has a good sort feature so you can sort for just the scenes on Boot Camp, for example, if thats your preference. You can also sort by star and there is a search function too but I found that the latter didnt work well as any scene found that way linked back to the main page rather than the scene you wanted.
Like other sites affiliated with Gamma, there are a lot of options for how you view or download the scenes. WMV downloads are offered in resolutions of 160, 240 and 360. Mp4s are offered in 160, 240, 360, 480, 540, 720 and 1080. Streaming is available as 160, 240, 360, 480 and 540 and mobile users can download in 160, 240, 360, 48, 540 and 720. I downloaded the 720p and those came in at 1280x720 at 4000kb/s and 30fps. (Some of these options arent available for older videos.) Id normally go for the highest resolution available but those arent for the faint of heart. Most of the scenes are well over an hour long, and some can last more than three hours, so a scene of that length at 1080p is close to 10GB. I figured that 720p was a good compromise. To their credit, the site has no obvious download limit so if you really wanted the best there is nothing stopping you from getting the best. The 720p look great on both a 24 monitor and a 32 TV.
Also like other sites affiliated with Gamma Entertainment, you need to be careful with your membership information to ensure where you need to go to cancel. It appears that there are many sites that they use for billing (all owned by Gamma, I assume) and you need to save your confirmation email to get the site youre billed through. Losing that information would probably cause some frustration. Even with that information, cancelling is a bit more involved than with CCBill, Epoch or the other big billers. Here you have to enter credit card information and a captcha which brings you to a further screen where you have to enter your membership name and email address and another captcha. It works, but until I learned to save all my membership information I got frustrated trying to cancel.
Another advantage to the site is that joining through TBP / PU gets you a significant discount. Thats the good news. The bad news is that this discount wont carry through past the first month so be careful to cancel if you dont want to see the price double. (I should add that in many cases with Gamma sites youre offered the first-month price when you start the cancellation procedure.)
The bottom line is that this is a fun site to watch. Its got some of the hottest models in the business. The production values are high, the site supports download managers and doesnt have any download limits. On top of all of this you get it all for a great discount. |

Pros: |
- 290 scenes
- Updates weekly with the addition of one scene
- Innovative BDSM tools
- Good mix of mainstream and fetish models
- Supports download managers
- Fast download speeds
- Photos available |
Cons: |
- Very expensive
- Captcha on signup can be annoying
- Need more file resolution options |
Bottom Line: |
This site is definitely NOT for the faint-hearted for three reasons: first, this is probably among the most intense BDSM sites available today, second, the price has to make it one of the most expensive porn memberships today, and third, some of the newest scenes come in at over 3GB in size.
If you like BDSM and are familiar with the Kink.com sites, then think of this as a mashup of Device Bondage and Sex and Submission with the nasty factor turned up. The site uses a lot of innovative bondage tools and devices, many of which appear to be made rather than bought. Each scene is between 30 minutes and an hour long and has several chapters where the bondage is changed. (Like other BDSM sites, the scenes also include an interview where the model makes it clear that she consents and can stop the scene.) Most of the scenes occur indoors in a dungeon setting, though there are also some scenes shot outdoors. Production values are very good. Many, but still a minority of the scenes, feature some kind of sex act, either oral or vaginal. There is some anal play, but Ive yet to find a scene with anal intercourse. Since the site is about BDSM I accept that the sex is secondary.
The site has a mix of mainstream models who dabble in fetish stuff (Sasha Knox and Hailey Young, for example) and models who specialize in fetish scenes (Wenona, for example). The models are all under 25, most are petite and with very few exceptions all are Caucasian. One good sign as to how the site treats the models is that there are several who make repeat visits to get abused.
The site currently has 290 scenes available with one new scene being added weekly. As should be expected, the oldest scenes (uploaded in 2006) dont have the same video quality as the newer scenes. Most scenes have download options for resolution and a few offer different file types too. The most common file type is mp4 though a lot of the older files that say theyre mp4 come in as .rm. The newest uploads have two options for resolutions. I went with the highest which is 1280x720, 7500kb/s and 23fps. An issue that many may have is the file size, which with some of the newer uploads can exceed 3GB. Thats a lot of data if your ISP imposes a limit. The lower resolution is intended for mobile devices and comes in at 480x270, 1400kb/s and 23fps. The obvious problem with this is that there is a wide chasm between the two sizes that really should be bridged with a third option.
Photos are also available as zips but not as singles. New photos are 1200x785 while the older ones are obviously smaller.
Site layout is simple but effective. It looks and functions a lot like a Kink.com site if youre familiar with them. You can either have a full or brief view of the scenes on the page and selecting a scene opens a page where you can stream or download the scene and download the photos. There is also a fairly detailed description of each scene which is useful.
The site allows download managers and doesnt appear to have any download limits. Download speeds were good.
Logging in requires the username and password be entered each time as well as a two-word captcha. I found one of those words was always easy to read, but the second was much more difficult and often caused me to fail to enter it properly. When that happens you go back for a second try but you need to enter your username and password again.
The 800lb gorilla in the room is whether the site is worth the $65 price. Part of me says that it is because the production costs here have to be much higher than a more usual hardcore site. With the more mainstream site you hire a woman and a man and pull out an old leather couch and you can make a porno. No so here. Im guessing that the models here get paid a premium to do this work and the bondage equipment can't be cheap to buy or make. So in that sense, it might be worth the exceptionally high price. Arguing against the high price is that other BDSM sites must have similar costs and can manage a more reasonable price. Sites like Kink probably have better economies of scale, but this site cant justify a price thats double what the competitors are charging. Also, this site has some sister sites (Sexually Broken, for example) which appear to use many of the same models, sets and equipment but charge less than half what this site charges.
I know this is a personal thing for me that others dont share, and I didnt include this as a con or include it in the score, but I really wish fetish sites put up more behind-the-scenes videos. With so many of the bondage setups used on this site being innovative Id like to see some of the technical bits of getting the model into them.
If youre into BDSM that pushes the limits and can justify spending the money, this is site that is worth a visit. With the price as high as it is though, this wont be a site that I join once in a while to get updates. |

Pros: |
- Part of a large teen-themed network
- Close to 350 videos now uploaded
- Updates regularly but not on any obvious schedule
- Site now offers HD in mp4 format
- Bills through Epoch
- Supports download managers
- Many new models just starting out in the adult business |
Cons: |
- Slower download speeds than with similar networks
- The same male talent appears too often
- Not much anal |
Bottom Line: |
Im a huge fan of teen-themed sites with the young models (18-20ish) playing schoolgirls. I suspect that this is a common fetish for a lot of men. While this is a niche that is served fairly well, Id never say no to a well-done site, and this is a pretty decent site.
This is the second time Ive been a member here and was enticed to join when the network (Team Skeet) offered a special discount on top of the discount they already offer us. I liked the site the first time I was a member there and theyve made some improvements that made it worth a revisit.
As I noted last time, the theme is schoolgirls and the setting is almost always a classroom. This obviously limits the kinds of scene setups that are available which can make the scenes a bit repetitive. There are only so many scenarios that can be done within these limits and theyve done them all frequently. The good news, however, is that even though the scene set-ups can be repetitive the models appearance and skills keep the scenes interesting. The site books some of the freshest new faces in porn so it is worth a membership just to see the latest crop of models.
The site is quite large offering just shy of 350 scenes. It continues to update but the update schedule is fairly irregular. There is at least one update per month though there are many months with three or four updates. Keep in mind that this site is part of a network so the other sites are updating too.
The biggest change that happened since I was last a member here 18 months ago is a significant improvement in video quality. When I was last a member here the only file format was WMV and while they advertised the scenes as being available in HD their definition of HD was pretty loose. Starting in October 2011 the site made a big move forward by offering true HD in mp4 format. A decent resolution WMV is still available but the scenes are now also offered in mp4 SD, 720p HD and 1080p HD. In the interests of balancing video quality with hard drive space I opted for the 720p. Those come in at 1280x720 at a 2400kb/s bitrate and 30fps. Subjectively they look great and I can safely assume that the 1080p would look even better.
The negatives to this site are pretty minor, and some of them are also admittedly subjective. The one objective problem is that download speeds still tend to be lower than I expect at a quality site like this. Im used to seeing near 7MB/s with Internet Download Manager and most of the time here I was getting no more than 4MB/s. (As an aside, TBPs review notes that there may be a download limit and that there may be issues with download managers. I had no problems. The sites TOS does say that they may impose a limit but I purposely went looking to see if Id get shut out and I called it quits at 30+GB in one day and had no limit imposed. Also, I had no issues using a download manager and the links didnt time out.)
The other negatives are, admittedly, subjective. The site uses the same male talent in a lot of their scenes and I find that makes the scenes even more repetitive. I think of the male talent in a straight porn scene as furniture, but I do wish these guys would change the furniture more frequently. The last (subjective) negative is that on a site with almost 350 scenes there are only three anal scenes. I realize that this is likely a reflection of the newness of many of the models, but guys, give the members some variety!
The last time I reviewed this site I found it to be a great value because of the combination of some great teen-themed porn and a TBP discount. With more scenes available and being added regularly this site continues to be a great value and if this is your kind of porn then Id highly recommend joining. (And if you act soon the extra discount may still be available.) |

Pros: |
- TBP Discount ($17.95)
- 291 Scenes (approx 30 mins each)
- Appears to be all or mostly exclusive content on this site
- Videos available in multiple ways
- Pictures and screenshots available
- Bills through CCBill
- Good mix of well known and lesser known models
- Supports download managers (I use Free Download Manager and it works fine)
- Part of a network (8 sites in total) |
Cons: |
- Definition of HD is pretty flexible
- Download speeds below average
- Updates arent dated
- Hello??? Have the directors never heard of anal sex? |
Bottom Line: |
Innocent High is a site within a network that features young, though fully legal, models in various school-oriented scenes. All the standard clichs are here, the most common being teacher and student, or principal and student. I could complain that these are repetitive and overused, but I couldnt come up with anything better. Regardless of the setup, the goal is the same in all the scenes: show off the youthful model in a well-lit, well-shot scene with good camera work and editing. If all porn sites did those basics this well the porn world would be a better place.
As for the models, there is a great mix of well known models like Aubrey Addams (looking mind-numbingly beautiful in her pre-surgery days), Ashli Orion and Eden Adams. There are plenty of less recognizable models too, though they are all young and very good looking. Most are petite and small-breasted, though there are lots who are better endowed too.
There are 291 scenes now on the site with 171 of these advertised as being HD. The problem with that claim is that the sites definition of HD has varied a bit over time. Some are 1280x720 at 4500kbps while others are 960x540 at 1800kbps. They all look good on a monitor though I havent tried them on a TV yet. The site offers more options to view the videos than Ive seen elsewhere, so there will be something for all tastes and connections. Streaming is available in various resolutions, though I cant say anything more than it looks good. Downloads are available in different ways and resolutions. Your download options are to download the full video, download a best of clip, download it in 3 segments or in 1-minute segments, or the trailer. Nobody can complain that they cant get the scene how they want it. For downloads, the full offers the most choices with WMV (in up to three resolutions), Quicktime, Mpg and IPod. HD is as listed above and the next lower resolutions come in at 640x480 or 640x360. I assume this depends on when the scene was shot and added. I cant give a clear picture on when the uploads were because they arent dated. Also for that reason I cant give an indication of the update schedule, though it certainly looks like it is updating.
Pictures are also available, as are screenshots. The pics are available as zips and come in at 1050x700. They look good, but obviously not hi-res.
There are no big negatives to this site. If I had to pick on one Id point out that the download speeds are lower than Ive seen at other big sites. Using Free Download Manager I get 1100KB/s, which is 700+ lower than with most sites. Also, TBP has a warning about download managers. They dont specify what the issue is, but I had no problems.
This site has the quality and quantity to make the TBP discounted price an excellent value even without being part of a network. Couple it with the 7 other sites in the Team Skeet network and it becomes even better. |

|
Pros: |
- 580+ scenes
- Updates every four days
- Many A-list models
- Mix of plot-based and gonzo porn
- Downloads now available
- Multiple download and streaming options
- Supports download managers
- Bills through Epoch |
Cons: |
- The James Deen controversy may be too much for some
- Scenes start streaming immediately |
Bottom Line: |
Let me get something out of the way right at the start: yes, I am aware of the allegations made against James Deen last year and the controversy that now surrounds him. Im not deaf to that but as a porn collector there are scenes with models on this site that I wanted to collect. Should I have avoided this site because of the issues around Deen? Maybe, but thats not the point of this review. You can make your own decisions on whether or not youd join this site in light of the allegations.
The site offers a good mix of plot-based and gonzo porn, which is somewhat unusual. I like both but if you dislike one type there is still lots here for you to like. The gonzo scenes are typical Deen in that that theyre playful and the performers seem to be having a lot of fun. The sex is definitely rougher than a lot of mainstream porn but not in a BDSM way. Several of the plot-based movies are BDSM-themed though.
Given that Deen is one of the best known and most popular male models in the business he attracts some of the best known and most popular female talent too. This site is a whos who of A-list models.
The site is well laid out and shows attention to detail and that makes it very easy to find scenes that youll like. Members can sort the scenes by the upload date, by movie, by category and by channel. There are a dozen plot-based movies available for those who like plot-based porn. The categories page allows you to sort by most of the popular niches while the channels page is just slightly different in that it allows you to sort by behind-the-scenes, hardcore and things like that. I like behind-the-scenes stuff and there is a lot of it here and its easy to find because it is a separate channel. For oral fans there is also a way to sort Deens signature series I Came on James Deens Face and for some reason, there is a channel with Deen eating and enjoying food. I guess you can do whatever you want on your own site.
The site is quite large with about 580 scenes now uploaded. A new scene is added every four days or so meaning that that site will continue to grow.
Some really good news is that while the TBP review says that the site is streaming-only that is no longer the case as downloads are now available for everything. The site also supports download managers and I found that download speeds were always fast. I downloaded a lot in one day purposely trying to find a daily limit but I didnt hit one.
All scenes have at least two streaming and download options (usually 1080p and 480p) but many add a third 720p option. The 720p scenes have a 5000kb/s bitrate and the 1080p scenes have an 8000kb/s bitrate. Both are 30fps.
The TBP page also says that there is a full trial but I cant confirm that as I bought the full membership. Id be wary of the trial though since there is a lot of good stuff here, though if you do opt for the one-day trial you can be confident of an easy cancellation as Epoch is the biller. Another advantage is that TBP was recently able to offer a discount which makes this a great value.
The site really doesnt have much that Id complain about. When you load a page with a scene it starts streaming automatically and thats a pet peeve of mine but if thats all thats wrong with the site then I can live with it.
The bottom line is that this is a great site and I highly recommend considering a membership. The only reason that someone may want to avoid the site is due to some ethical considerations with the allegations against Deen. Otherwise, this is a great site and with the price offered through TBP its a great value for your porn dollars. Ill definitely rejoin in the future. |

Pros: |
- Some variety of JM Productions series
- Membership gives you discount ($13.95 versus $29.95) at Gag Factor
- Updates (but not on any obvious schedule)
- Streaming available
- Downloads available
- Supports download managers (no obvious time-out issues)
- Bills through CCBill |
Cons: |
- Terrible video quality in older files, barely passable in newer
- Small site
- Not part of a network
- No access to many series and titles
- Heavy reliance on Behind-the-scenes material (which to some may be a positive)
- Updates are irregular, but never frequent
- Only one video file option
- Not good value for the monthly subscription ($19.95)
- A lot of overlap with other JM Productions sites
- No search function
- Very basic layout
- No screencaps or other pics |
Bottom Line: |
Jerkoff Zone sells itself as the official JM Productions (JMP) site. For those who dont know JMP, they are known for their extreme hardcore material. Think Max Hardcore toned down just a bit. Theyre known for such series as American Bukkake, American Gokkun, Young & Anal, Tough Love and Gag Factor. Im a big fan of most of their work and the sites intro page listed all the series that I liked, so I presumed Id have some decent access to that material. It turns out that the site over promises and under delivers. They cant be accused of false advertising because there are scenes from all the series they mention on the site, but most are not well represented. Take the Young and Anal series which has about 40 editions now (assuming four scenes per edition makes that roughly 160 scenes) and the site offers just two scenes from this series. Thats the worst it gets, but it doesnt really get much better with the other series. Take American Bukkake this is a groundbreaking series and really has no competition in the American market. There are 40 editions, with usually two scenes per movie. The site offers four scenes. American Gokkun? Of the 10 editions (20 scenes) produced, two are on the site. You get the picture.
I might not have as much to complain about if the video quality was good, but it isnt. Back in late 2008 the site started offering high quality video for both download and streaming, though the streaming is lower quality than the video. Even in 2008, though, the quality was barely up to industry standards. In 2011 it is woefully inadequate. The best resolution on the site is 720x480 @ 2000kbps. Those are rare though. More common is 720x480 @ 1500 and 640x480 @1500. Videos posted before January 2008 (maybe 40%) are virtually unwatchable at 320x240@ 460 and even as low as 235kbps. There are no options for downloads either just the one WMV file. One good thing is that Free Download Manager worked flawlessly.
The site layout is very basic. The main page is broken down in to several sections: videos, BTS scenes, Travels with Ashley Blue and trailers.
The video page opens to a page with all the videos. They are sorted by upload date and not by DVD title. There is no option to sort them in any other way. There are approximately 180 videos posted, with 40% of those being poor resolution. The Travels with Ashley Blue is just four links to a handful of photos of Ms. Blue touring porn shops. The BTS section has about 70 BTS scenes from various titles. Then there are trailers for other JMP DVDs. So for the $20 fee all you really get is maybe 100 watchable porn scenes. The site relies too much on filler like BTS and trailers and markets them as if they have real value to a consumer. They can be interesting, but they arent what people join for.
The site claims to update every couple of days and that might be true, but the update is more likely to be a BTS or trailer than an actual scene.
When I joined I was offered a $13.95 discounted price to another JMP site, Gag Factor. I took that option and as it is sold as a stand-alone site Ill post a review of that later. I have no way of knowing if the discount is a standard offer. Ill give full credit to the site for not making this a pre-checked cross-sell.
The biggest disappointment about this site for me is that is mostly a wasted effort. JMP makes excellent porn. The production values are good, they use top female talent and they have some of the more innovative niche series out there. They are also a prolific studio and must have hundreds of titles to their credit. But they continue in the tradition of studios not putting much effort into their websites. The site offers only a fraction of the material that the studio has, it offers it in poor quality and on a site that looks like it took them an hour to put together. It seems to me that a poor effort like this would reflect badly on the whole studio. I have no idea why JMP would have such a poor internet site. They do offer a lot more on VOD sites, so maybe they push that to make more money. If thats the case, then the website is just a large advertising site that people pay money for. If thats the case, I guess Ive been had. At least they bill through CCBill so I know I can cancel easily. They also heavily push DVDs, which seems odd to me. Are they living in a time warp?
If they offered much more of their catalogue at good resolutions this could be a good value at even twice the price. As it stands though, this isnt a good value at the current price.
Should you join this site? If youre a huge JMP fan then give it a try, knowing that it isnt a very good site. If you want to dabble in some unique JMP stuff, youre better off just giving them your money at a VOD site or finding a DVD at your local shop, which is probably what they want anyway. |

Jesse Loads Monster Facials

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
- Large site (~600 scenes)
- Updates regularly
- A-list models
- Unique approach to BTS scenes
- Bills through CCBill
- Supports download managers
- Fast download speeds
- No download limits |
Cons: |
- There’s only so much variation on a mostly oral-themed site
- Dated site look
- Updates aren’t dated
- No search function or tags |
Bottom Line: |
Most porn fans seem to like a good facial finish so it’s a good thing to have sites that cater to this interest. This site has been on my radar for several years because of its promise of facial finishes but I’d never got around to joining it until recently.
Apart from the site’s main claim to fame being the facial finish it is otherwise a relatively mainstream vanilla porn site. I’m not saying that this is a bad thing. Not every site has to have an extreme kink. A significant majority of the scenes here are oral only. While some of the scenes do include vaginal sex, they are certainly in the minority. The only minor drawback to this is that there is only so much variety you can bring to a blowjob scene. But, regardless of whether the scene contains actual sex or not every scene delivers on the site’s title. While not all the facials fit the title’s description of “monsters” most of them are quite large and many of them are above the industry average.
Within the members area the scenes are not dated. Oddly though, on the tour pages they are dated as far back as 2014. Judging by some of the models who appear earlier than that the site appears to have started somewhere between 2008 and 2010. The upside to that is that the site is quite large now with approximately 600 scenes available. A new scene is added every two weeks.
While the site does appear to be relatively low budget the production values are excellent. The lighting, camera work and editing are all top-notch.
The site is a who’s who of A-list models over the past 10+ years. There are many models who have multiple (5+) scenes here.
The tour pages on the site are well done in that they allow any prospective member to get a good sense of what will be available upon subscribing. I wish every site followed this model.
The site layout is dated. While the site itself appears to date from around 10+ years ago the site seems like it could be a lot older than that. If you check the site out, I think you’ll immediately see what I mean by this. But, and I want to make this abundantly clear, that the outdated look and interface in no way detracts from the quality of the porn.
The older scenes on the site aren’t up to modern standards but that’s to be expected. If the site does date back to around 2008 then the older videos uploaded then are still lower resolution than what was state-of-the-art at that time. The highest resolution for the older videos on the site is 640x480. The good news is that the quality improves as the years go by. There is a relatively brief period of videos at 720p but then the site goes to 1080p, which is the current highest resolution. The framerate is also great at 9000kb/s. Even going back several years (and remember the scenes aren’t dated) the resolution stays at 1080p though the framerate drops a bit. The scenes still look good right up until the oldest scenes.
BTS fans will find a lot to like here. For what appears to be every scene on the main site there is a BTS scene. Unlike many other BTS which are short, these scenes are a stationary camera set up that runs during the posing, undressing and then the oral and sex (if there is sex). Think of this as a ‘fly on the wall’ approach to BTS. Interestingly, most of these BTS scenes are almost as long as the actual scene itself so there is very little editing. I found it interesting to watch these BTS scenes as they can show a model you like with her natural traits coming through. As an example, Emma Hix comes across as a total professional who wants to ensure that the site gets the best from her.
When I join a new site I often make it a point to see if there is a download limit. My guess is that the ‘professional’ reviewers here at TBP don’t have the time to find a limit if one exists. I can report that I made it a point to download a lot of scenes (which I will keep) and didn’t encounter a download limit or throttling at any time. I also found the site allowed me to queue scenes with a download manager and the links didn’t time out. I found that download speeds were fast.
I joined using the TBP link and the biller was, as reported, CCBill. I always have a lot of confidence when joining a site through a reputable biller like them.
Unfortunately, there is no TBP discount offered to the site but at $25 USD the site is still an excellent value.
The bottom line is that this is a great mainstream porn site. The site has a lot to offer in terms of quality and quantity. The models are among the best in the industry and the site has been around long enough that you can access scenes with your favourite models from years ago. While the site itself has a very dated look that doesn’t detract from the positives. Even without a TBP discount the site offers an excellent value. If you are into facial finishes then this is a site you need to seriously consider. |

Pros: |
- Many top Eastern European and Russian models
- Serves the older guy / younger girl niche
- 600 scenes (see below for better description of this number)
- Site began in 2003
- Newest files available in 1080p, 720p and 540p
- Newer files have download options
- Supports download managers for queuing scenes
- Streaming available with same options as downloads
- TBP discount
- Updates with one file per week (usually only half a scene) |
Cons: |
- Most updates are divided into 2 parts and added over a two-week timeframe
- Too many broken links
- Files dont have unique names that identify them
- Language barriers can reduce the model interaction
- Close to half the available scenes are low resolution and split into segments |
Bottom Line: |
I know that other reviewers have given higher scores and more positive reviews, but I cant share a lot of that optimism. For me a site needs to have great porn and be a great site to get a high score but there are exceptions. If a site offers unique porn in an underserved niche then Im more willing to overlook some of the sites flaws. For Jim Slip, however, the porn isn't so unique as to allow me to overlook some of the sites major flaws. I realize that taking this position opens the door to a lot of subjectivity so Ill try to justify why I think this site could use a lot of improvement.
The sites primary niche is older man / younger woman porn, a niche that I really like. So for that reason this site had been on my radar for a while before I finally joined. Im glad I waited as will become apparent below. While I like the niche, the fact that Jim books most of his models from Eastern Europe and Russia means that many of them dont have good or any English skills so the interaction between them is sometimes limited. The interaction between the performers is usually what creates the heat in a scene and the less interaction means less heat, in my opinion.
Another niche that may be of interest is that Jims wife Lara, a hot MILF, sometimes appears in the scenes with the girls. This doesnt happen often enough for me to suggest that you buy a membership just to see these scenes. The membership includes Laras site but this review focuses solely on Jim Slip.
Since the site has been around a while it can be a stroll through Eastern European / Russian porn. The site certainly has most of the top EE/Russian model from the past 12 years though some of the models are less than A-list.
The site currently has about 600 videos uploaded with a new video being offered once a week. There are several big caveats to that number though. The first is that many, and perhaps most, of the scene are uploaded in two parts with the first part being uploaded one week and the second the following week. The split doesnt occur at some obvious break in the scene, nor does it split up an unusually long scene. Most of the scenes run about an hour with about 30 minutes being uploaded per week. (One file is added per week.) So with this in mind, the actual number of full scenes is less than 600. My educated guess is that there might be 350-400 full scenes.
The second major flaw with the scenes is that many of them are unwatchable by todays standards. The site has been around since 2003 and from that date to August 2009 the videos were as low as 320x240 and only reached 480x360 with low bitrates. To make matters worse, these videos cant be downloaded as a single file; for many of them there could be eight or more files required for the full scene. Im no technical expert, but if there was a way to remaster these to a better resolution and combine them into a single file that would go a long way to improving the site. What this means for a member is that almost half of the videos are poor quality and in segments.
Starting in August 2009 the files became available in 1280x720 with bitrates that range from low to reasonable. Then, in July 2010 1920x1080 files became available with bitrates hitting as high as 12000kb/s. Currently there are about 90 files (or approximately 45 full scenes) offered in this resolution, with other options being the 720p and 540p.
Streaming is also available in the same available download resolutions for each scene,
Another flaw is that for a commercial site there are far too many broken links. I didnt download a lot from the site and I still encountered dozens of dead links. In many cases a lower resolution of the scene was available, but this really shouldnt occur.
The site does permit you to use a download manager to queue up scenes and I had no problem with the links timing out. Other users report that the site wont allow multiple downloads but I cant confirm that as I dont do that. Download speeds were average to slightly better than average. One minor flaw is that all the files are named with a generic name; fullcomplete is the current name though it is different on older files. Be prepared to rename files as you download them.
Would I recommend this site? Probably not unless there is some compelling reason for you to do so. If there is a must-have scene with a model you collect or you really like this niche then it may be worth it to join. There is a TBP/PU discount that makes the membership a slightly better value. But the porn itself isn't particularly great; there are better older guy / younger girl sites out there and there are better sites that feature the same models. And most of those sites offer better resolutions, fewer dead links and better download options, including the full scene being uploaded all at once. I wouldnt say dont join this site, but its unlikely that Ill be back. |

Pros: |
- HD available in new titles
- SD looks good
- Access to a lot of older titles
- Supports download managers
- Access to a good mix of older and newer JJ stuff
- Newer DVDs appear to be uploaded shortly after release
- Bills through Epoch
- Updates regularly |
Cons: |
- Site not organized by DVD title
- Small site
- Download speeds can vary
- Need a membership to a second Jules Jordan site to get all the scenes from some DVDs
- Search function could use some improvement
- Updates by adding only one scene at a time |
Bottom Line: |
After two memberships to sites that Id not normally have joined due to their focus on older (25+) and busty women, I figured Id better join a site that I knew Id like: a DVD-based, raw hardcore site with a healthy dose of anal scenes.
Jules Jordan is probably one of those producers whos work you either like or dont. He started with Evil Angel many years ago and has continued to produce some excellent porn if you like your porn with a rougher edge and heavy dose of anal sex. Hes no Max Hardcore though, and his work was certainly a good fit for Evil Angel. If you like EA stuff youre apt to like JJ stuff.
The site is organized in a straightforward way in that you can sort by all scenes, older scenes, HD scenes and by models. Clicking on either of those will bring up a list with large thumbnails that you can further open to get what youre looking for.
The individual scenes open to a new page with a large window for streaming (which, thankfully, doesnt start automatically). There are links for streaming choices and for download choices. In the newer scenes streaming is available in HD, SD and mobile, and the same is usually available in HD (1080p and 720p), SD and mobile for downloads. The only file type is mp4. The videos looked good (I downloaded 720p when it was available). Obviously older files shot in SD dont look as good but theyre still watchable.
The site supports download managers and links dont time out quickly. Download speeds were usually good at 6+MB/s using IDM though there were times (infrequently) when it could be half that.
The good news is that you have access to 124 DVDs. Im not sure how many DVDs Jordan has produced but IAFD doesnt seem to list too many more than that. This means that you have access to a lot of his older titles and still have access to new releases. The newer releases seem to get uploaded shortly after they hit the DVD market. The bad news here is that with only 124 DVD titles this is still a pretty small site. And its destined to stay that way for a while since the site only updates with one scene being added every two days. On some days two scenes get added, but that isnt frequent. The other downside to this is that if youre looking for a specific scene in a movie you might have to wait a while to get it.
Ill admit this may be subjective, but on a DVD-based studio site it seems logical to me that the scenes be arranged by the DVD they appeared on. For example, if you want to check out Ass Worship 3 you should be able to sort by DVD title, select that title and see the scenes in that movie. But for some reason the site isnt set up this way, even though the DVD title will appear as a tag in a scene. Not to get too confusing here, but lets say you open a scene with a star you like. The thumbnail and link will give no indication of which DVD the scene is from, but when you open the link there will be a tag with the DVD title that you can then click on to see all the available scenes from that title.
An obvious work-around would be to just enter the DVD into the search function, right? Sort of, but if you search Ass Worship 3 be prepared to scroll down past the first four or five links because those first links wont be scenes from the DVD youre looking for. Aim for the fifth or sixth scene and open it and you might just have a scene from Ass Worship 3 with a link to the DVD that you can then follow through to see the other scenes from that title. My description is confusing partly because the process is confusing.
To make this even worse, the tour pages have a Movies link which will take you to a page with thumbnail covers of all the DVDs on the site. When you enter the members page though, that link is gone.
What really hurts the value of a membership is the way that the studio has decided to release the videos. Besides this site the studio also has The Ass Factory. We can debate whether a single studio the size of JJ really needs two sites (Id debate that they dont) but the problem is that for most JJ titles you might get three scenes here and two at The Ass Factory, which means that to get more complete access to the JJ library you need to buy two $30 memberships. But I suppose if there are enough people like me who will pay for both there is no incentive to merge the two sites into one.
So is the site worth a membership? It depends on who you are. If you really like Jordans stuff it probably is. If its merely a passing interest for you there are probably better places to put your porn dollars. The porn is excellent, but the site needs a rethink on a couple of key problems and the fact that the site is small and the DVDs are spread over two sites makes the value lower than it should be.
(As an aside, if you want a membership to only one JJ site Id recommend this one over The Ass Factory. AF is a much smaller site for the same fee. Ill try to get a review to that up soon.) |

Bottom Line: |
I realize that the niche of having old guys fuck young women is not for everyone, but if it is something you like to watch, this site is definitely worth checking out.
Many of the girls on this site are a whos who of A-list porn starlets today, and the format is one that definitely accentuates their youthful appearances. Girls such as Ashlii Orion, Jaelyn Fox, Amai Lui and Jada Stevens all make appearances. Some lesser known (but hopefully up-n-coming) girls like Cheyenne Cooper are also here. Each scene is approximately 30 minutes long and there is usually a stereotypical setup for a scene with a young girl and an older guy: teacher, supervisor, driving instructor or something similar to further accentuate the age difference between the girl and the guy.
The guys are obviously a bigger part of the scene than would be acceptable in most porn scenes, BUT they never really get in the way of scene like many younger, self-indulgent male models do. The guys seem to know that theyre there to help show off the girl. And they should know that since the guys have a lot of experience in the business. Since there arent too many geezers still actually working in porn today, the talent pool is pretty shallow. Rod Fontana is here, as are a few other seniors who I cant name. One of them looks like Adolf Hitler and another looks like a slightly younger version of Col. Sanders. Perhaps the biggest male name here is also the most polarizing: Ron Jeremy. You either love him or hate him. Ron appears in a large number of the scenes. That may be a testament to his reliability.
As for the technical bits, the site is pretty standard for a good porn site. There are 77 scenes posted (with updates being added). Each scene offers a trailer to get an idea if you want to download the scene. If you do want to download, you have three options: MPG, MP4 and WMV HD. The HD doesnt appear to be true HD though. (1250x702 and 2651kbps bitrate. Im not sure if that qualifies as HD, but it doesnt look as sharp as Im used to with other HD stuff.)
The site also offers photos. Both screencaps and actual photos are available, either individually or as a zipped set. The photos I looked at were high-resolution and looked great (3000x1996).
This is purely subjective, but there arent enough anal scenes here. Anal sex is a turn-off for some, but it is pretty mainstream and it is apparent in its absence here. It may be that most of the models dont do anal (yet!), but of the 77 scenes there are only 4 or 5 anal, which seems low.
This site is part of a network that offers some interesting and innovative other sites, though for the $17.95 TBP discount price, this site alone is worth it. The network and individual sites are fairly simple and straightforward to use. There is no reliance on gimmicks. The search function is limited, but simple to use and effective.
If you like this kind of niche, Id highly recommend this. |

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. Ive 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 theres just the basic stuff of a BDSM or D/s relationship dynamic that seems fascinating. Members to any of Kinks sites didnt usually get to peek behind the curtains. And then along comes Kink University and that niche is filled.
Its 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. Youll 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 youre a Kink regular the models here are those youll 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 cant 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 didnt 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 todays standards) resolution of 960x540 and 1300kb/s. They dont 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 Id expect better in a 50 minute video that is close to 2GB in size. I wish the gap between the files wasnt so big.
The site allows download managers and I had no trouble with the links timing out too quickly. I havent had any Kink memberships in a while but I dont recall download speeds being this slow in the past. In the past I dont recall download speeds being remarkable for being slow or fast, but my experience with this site is that they are far slower than Im used to seeing elsewhere. But maybe Im just hitting the site at the wrong times.
Other Kink sites Ive been a member at have offered photos but I dont see any photos here. Maybe Im missing them.
I know some of my comments here have seemed a bit inconclusive and theres 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 its 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 Ill 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. Thats 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 Im 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 Im aware of), the models are good looking and the production values are high. Objectively I can definitely recommend this site. Subjectively, well thats 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. |

Pros: |
- Interesting niche
- A few great dancers
- A few well-known porn stars
- Discount for TBP/PU members
- Part of a small network of other sites
- Photos are available
- Files sizes come in two sizes |
Cons: |
- Very small site (only nine scenes)
- No updates
- Looks to have last updated when George W. Bush was still president in his first term
- Scenes are broken up into smaller files
- Download speed would be considered fast only back when George W. Bush was president in his first term
- No zip option for photos
- Trial membership is no longer available |
Bottom Line: |
EDIT - after spending time on the main sites of the network, I think the network is a decent value. See POVPorn.com review for more.
What PU doesnt like strippers and lap dances? Certainly not me. I love the stripper niche, and I think lap dancing should replace that silly sport where women dance around waving long ribbons at the Olympics. With lap dancing as an official sport I could then double the amount of time spent watching the Olympics since I now only watch womens beach volleyball. So when I discovered Lap Dance Gone Bad it was a no-brainer for me to give it a try.
This site is a pretty big disappointment. This is an under-served niche, and it isnt exactly difficult porn to make. Hire a girl, put her on a set with a small stage and a pole, and let the fun begin. Youd think that they could churn this stuff out regularly. But they dont. There are only nine scenes on this site. Thats nine, as in the number 9 and nothing else.
To make matters worse, of the nine scenes only one is available as a full-scene download. The others are made up of various smaller files. The files may have met industry standards when they were shot, but they certainly arent up to standard now. Most of the files are 480x360, so they are far from HD. Photos arent my thing, so I dont really have any comments except to say that they are not available as a zip file.
The biggest technical issue that I have with this site is the download speeds. It was rare to see anything over 250KB/sec, which is well below what any of us would consider reasonable.
Apart from the small number of scenes and the slow downloads, if you like this niche these are fun scenes to watch. Most scenes feature porn stars (Haley Paige, for example) and the scene involves a blowjob and in a couple of cases, vaginal sex. There are no anal scenes at all. A couple of the scenes feature real strippers. Im sure of this because of the talent they display on the brass pole. Unfortunately, the best dancer (Kylie) doesnt use the other pole in the room, leaving the guy to have a bit of a wank while she gyrates on him. This isnt so much a lap dance gone bad, its more a lap dance gone wayward.
While I had hoped for a much larger site, the fact that there is a TPB/PU discount helps, but even the $19.95 price cant nudge this into being a good value. If you really have an interest in this niche, you might consider it, or consider the additional material available on the bonus sites. Lap Dance Gone Bad appears to be one of the bonus sites to the primary site, which is either Peter Girls or POV Porn. Ill post a review of those when I have a look at them, but they arent really something that Id join purposely.
The bottom line is that this is really buyer-beware. If you like lap dancing and dont mind spending $20 to get nine scenes you might like this. Otherwise, the site is a poor value and I cant recommend joining for this site alone. |

Bottom Line: |
I’m re-reviewing LP because the site has changed quite a lot since I last reviewed it and my opinion of it has changed a bit too.
LP remains one of the most controversial mainstream porn sites. One reason for that is what it offers is much more extreme than what is offered on other mainstream sites. Another issue people react to is that the site mostly operates on a business model that doesn’t include the typical subscription for a month of access to everything.
The system that LP uses is a ‘ticket’ system whereby you create an account with them and then are required to purchase tickets that you can then trade for scenes. It is also possible to buy the scenes individually with a credit card but the costs for this are more expensive than tickets. The number of tickets required to gain access to scenes varies widely, usually from 2 to 6.
The biggest downside to the ticket system is that it can get very expensive. I spent approximately $50 per month on this site for three years and still didn’t get all the scenes I wanted. However, I didn’t mind doing this because LP offers a unique product.
It does appear that LP is now offering a form of subscription. You can now subscribe to any of the individual studios that make up LP. What you get for a ‘subscription’ is access to that one studio only AND only access to what that studio uploads for the 30 days you’ve subscribed. That’s a serious limit.
Up until several years ago LP required an attestation that your credit card was valid. This is no longer required and you can buy tickets immediately after signing up.
The site itself is made up of several different studios under the LP umbrella. While there are nuance differences between each of the studios they are much more alike than they are different. The scenes have always pushed the boundaries towards the extreme edges of mainstream and over the past few years it appears that they have pushed even further. Most scenes feature more than just a male and female talent. They can have many different combinations though scenes with one woman and multiple men are very frequent. Almost all of the LP scenes added over the last few years feature anal sex. Vaginal sex, if it appears in any scenes, is simply an ad-on or is part of a double penetration. The anal sex is hard and rough.
Also over the past several years there has been a significant increase in the number of double (DAP) and even triple anal scenes. DAP is now commonplace.
None of the scenes have any setup or plot. The sex starts almost immediately.
There has been an increase in the number of scenes featuring women being peed on but for some reason this is edited out for the American market. (Yay Canada!)
The models are overwhelmingly from Eastern Europe and Russia though the last few years has seen a few American models. There aren’t many American models who are known for being this extreme.
As rough as the scenes are I’ve never seen anything even bordering on non-consent. I’ve bought and downloaded hundreds of LP scenes and can only think of a handful where the model looks overwhelmed.
Up until recently everything at LP was exclusive. It now appears that they are offering some softer scenes but these appear to be licensed from DDF. Don’t download the scenes from LP unless you only want one or two. A DDF subscription is likely to be better value for most. (More recently there appears to be an increase in the non-exclusive scenes so caution is advised.)
Last year LP underwent a major shakeup and it appears the dust is still settling. Two directors, one of them being a long-serving LP director was fired. There was some speculation that with the departure of these two directors LP could not keep up its update schedule. This may be a cause for more non-exclusive scenes.
Download speeds are often fast but I find times when the speeds are very slow, almost to the point where it’s best to leave and come back later. This is unacceptable for a company that charges this much for their porn.
In my first LP review I commented that the site was confusing. The site hasn’t changed but I retract that comment as I now find the search function and tags to be easy to use and effective.
Videos are offered in multiple resolutions and two different file types. VGA videos are offered though my preference has always been the MP4 files. Those are available in 720p, 1080p and 4K.
The bottom line is that this site isn’t for everyone. The porn is very rough (but not BDSM), almost all anal and even more than a few circus acts. To make matters worse, their business model is unique and not customer-friendly. Downloading LP stuff can get very expensive quickly. On the other hand, LP offers a lot of unique porn that appeals to a narrow viewer but if you’re one of those who like this style of porn then you owe it to yourself to check it out. |

Reason: One paragraph in the original was incorrect based on comments from other PU members. The paragraph provides accurate information now.
|
Pros: |
- 1500+ free scenes
- Some unique porn if what they shoot is what youre interested in
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Unique business model that wont attract any fans
- Can get VERY expensive
- Website is poorly organized
- Many scenes dont have female talent listed
- Search function isn't effective |
Bottom Line: |
Let me get one thing out of the way first: my opinion on this site is vastly different from pat362s and I want to explain why. Pats comments are true, accurate and valid and if he hadnt posted those I would have not known that this site was VERY different from everything else Ive ever joined. If I hadnt had the information that pat posted I would have written the same thing as he did. BUT having been forewarned by pat that this site uses a completely different business model I was prepared for that and willing to join anyway. Im grateful for pats comment since I went in with the full knowledge of what I was getting.
Further to the above, I think it is more accurate to think of this site as a store rather than a normal porn site. You pay your membership fee and that gets you access to 1500+ free scenes but if you want the newest stuff (less than a year old) you have to pay an additional amount. The flaw is that this can be an expensive way to get porn. But if this is the kind of porn you like then youll like it a lot.
One aspect that pat commented on was the attestation requirement. After you buy a membership you have to prove that you own the credit card you used. The process is simple: the site deducts a small amount from your card. You log on to your bank, confirm the amount and report that back to the LP site. The amount is refunded. The process took me less than five minutes. The process is an attempt to limit piracy.
The second thing I should mention before I get into details is that this isn't mainstream porn that will interest everyone. Most of the scenes here push the limits of hardcore. Most of the scenes are at least threeways and scenes that dont feature anal sex are rare. Youll also find milk and cream enema and pee play. The scenes are definitely NOT artcore.
You can choose different levels of membership with the difference being how many premium tickets you want to buy upfront. Once youre a member there are three different classes of videos the premium ones that you buy with the tickets you get with a membership, the ex-premium ones that you buy with free tickets (you get one free ticket per day when youre a member) and the free videos you have access to through your membership that you need no tickets for. It appears that videos that require paid tickets move to requiring free tickets after a year. It doesnt appear that the premium videos ever become completely free with a membership.
The site itself is a giant clusterfuck that needs to made more intuitive. I got used to it but it can be improved. Scene a model naming are a constant problem with generic meaningless names being given to scenes. Since Russian and Eastern European models change their names more than their socks I cant entirely blame the site for that, but its still annoying.
Newer videos are available in two resolutions 640x480 and 1280x720. Both are MP4. Older videos are only available in the lower resolution. I downloaded the higher resolution and those have a bitrate of 4500/kb/s so they look decent. The older scenes have a 2500 bitrate and they look okay too. Trailers are available, as are photos.
Many of the older free scenes are available elsewhere (like Videobox) but the resolutions here are usually higher than at other sites.
I used a download manager and had no issues with it. Download speeds varied and there were some times when the speeds were slow but most of the time they were okay. Sometimes they were fast.
You can buy scenes individually without a membership. One piece of advice is that if you do want to buy a few scenes work out the cost and compare it to a membership. Buying scenes individually is VERY expensive with that cost being about 3 times the cost of the tickets for the same scenes.
I found scoring the site to be difficult and I finally settled on a fairly low score mostly for objective reasons. The biggest of those is that the site isn't easy to use: it could use a major overhaul. If I factored in my subjective opinion on the quality of the porn the score would have been higher. If you like your porn with a harder edge youll love the porn even if you dont like the process to get it. I know the biggest criticism of the site will be having to pay for newer scenes, but think of the membership fee as giving access to 1500+ scenes and you can buy the newest scenes.
Id recommend the site with four caveats: go in knowing that the porn is a lot harder than whats available at most other sites, that the site itself is illogical, that unless youre willing to spend a lot of money youll be leaving the newest scenes behind and finally that business model is unlike any other porn site. If you do decide to join go in with your eyes open. Im glad I joined and Ill probably rejoin again. |

Legend Movies

|
Pros: |
- Offers a wide range of movies from their studio
- Full-access trial
- Membership gives access to a network of sites
- Multiple download options
- Decent quality and download speeds
- Good variety of videos available
- Many older titles (from the 90s) available |
Cons: |
- Not the full Legend catalogue of videos
- Some content is shared between the sites in the network |
Bottom Line: |
The Legend Video site certainly looks like it is the official site of the well-known studio, but I have my doubts. While the quality of the site is very good, I would hope that a big studio like Legend could do a better job and would also make more of their catalogue available. But it might actually be an official site since most other studios dont do a spectacular job of their own sites and also arent very generous with their titles.
Having said that though, this is still a good site. It is well organized and finding specific titles isnt a big problem. Many of the titles available arent widely available on other DVD sites so this is a good opportunity to access them. One thing I particularly liked was the opportunity to access some of the older Legend series from the 1990 and earlier in this decade. Series like American Cocksucking Championship, All About Ass and POV Casting Couch. However, while there are a lot of older titles available, there arent too many of their newer titles on this site. Thats another reason why I suspect that this isnt a Legend-operated site. I suspect that theyve licenced some of their older material to a third party.
The site is reasonably well organized with menu selections that help you narrow movies down by theme, or series name. I particularly like being able to sort be series. There are several download options available and during my membership I found download speeds to be slightly faster than Ive seen with other adult sites. Not blazing fast, but somewhat faster than the industry norm.
One big advantage to this site is that it offers a full trial. For $4.95 you get unlimited access for two days. This is a great option if youre only looking for a few titles and get in, get them and get out. Ive used this option with this site and cancelled my trial almost immediately to avoid the recurring charges and the membership remains valid for the two days (unlike some other trials weve heard about from other PUs). This site is also part of a small network. Ive had memberships at several of these sites in the past but havent really spent much time at them so I cant really comment. They certainly add to the value of the site though.
The bottom line is that this site offers a lot of older (5+ years old, approximately) Legend titles that are not widely available elsewhere. The site is easy to use and the download speeds are good. The site is a moderate value for the monthly fee when you take into account the other sites on the network but is an exceptional value when you take advantage of the full trial option. If youre looking for hard-to-find older Legend titles, Id recommend starting here. |

Pros: |
- Part of a good network
- 100 scenes uploaded
- All scenes offer 720p and 1080p HD
- Resolutions / file type options
- Updates with one new scene per week
- Great opportunity to see new talent do anal
- Some first anals
- TBP/PU Discount
- Support download managers |
Cons: |
- All videos shot in POV
- HD scenes not as clear as other sites
- Not enough difference between 720p and 1080p to justify the higher resolution (though this might actually be a good thing) |
Bottom Line: |
I agree with most of what pat wrote in his 2011 review. The biggest difference is probably that he reviewed the site when it was new and it has grown a lot since then.
Obviously this is a site that will primarily interest people who like anal sex. If you dont, youre not apt to join anyway. But this sites draw is more than just anal sex, its anal sex with models who are relatively new to the business. The entire Mofos network touts itself as featuring amateurs. While most of the models arent amateurs in the true sense of that word, they are definitely fresh and new to the business. There are definitely some first anals here too.
The site has grown a lot since pat reviewed it in 2011 as it now has 100 scenes. It continues to update with one new scene added per week. While this might not sound like a lot, you do need to recognize that the site is part of a larger network so those sites are adding updates too.
As I noted, the site is part of the Mofos Network, which is a collection of 10 decent sites. Even if you dont like anal this is still a great network since this is the only anal-themed site. The network has been around for a while and offers plenty of good porn. Definitely enough to make the monthly fee (with a TBP/PU discount) a great value.
The scenes are offered in a variety of types and resolutions, ranging from low-res intended for smaller mobile devices to both 720p and 1080p for big screens. While you can download SD resolutions in multiple file types (WMV and MPEG, for example), there are no options for the HD scenes. Oddly, some are uploaded in WMV while others are uploaded in mp4.
I downloaded a mix of 720 and 1080. The 720 play at 1280x720 at 8,500kb/s and 30fps. The 1080 come in at 1920x1280 at 12,700kb/s and 30fps. Objectively those numbers look great. I dont understand how videos get encoded, but even with those high-end specs the videos dont look nearly as good as other porn sites with similar or lower specs. Evil Angel, for example, has their highest resolution at 1920x1080 at 7,000 kb/s and 30fps. While the two sites post similar numbers, the EA stuff looks crisp and clear where the scenes on this site dont reflect their technical specs.
Im not sure if this is a pro or a con, but subjectively there really isnt a noticeable difference between the two HD resolutions. I downloaded a scene in both resolutions to compare them and the 720p is 1.93GB while the 1080p is 2.88GB. You could save yourself 1GB of storage and download the 720p scene and still be happy. My advice is to download both versions of one scene and make your own decision.
The site supports download managers and if there are timeouts they dont kick in until well over an hour. There are also no download limits that I could find, and I purposely went looking for them by downloading a lot in one day.
Some bad news is that one of the complaints that pat had in his earlier review hasnt been fixed: the scenes are still all POV. While I like POV as a niche when thats what the sites niche is, this site isnt sold as a POV site; its sold as an anal newcomer site. Some POV would be fine, but I agree with pat that the site needs to invest in a cameraman. (Im sure pat and I could volunteer to take turns at this)
This is purely subjective, (and I apologize for constantly referring back to pat), but hes right that a lot of the models are shown warts and all, but I prefer that look over the pancake makeup used by so many other sites. The reduced volume of makeup definitely adds to the atmosphere that the models are new and fresh.
The bottom line is that this is a great site that continues to grow. If you like new talent in anal scenes (especially considering that some of them are on-screen anal virgins or close to that) then this is a site for you. Adding to the value is the membership discount for joining through here and that there are nine other great sites in the network. There are some glitches, but those arent deal breakers. I definitely recommend this site. |

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 “teen” 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. |

Cons: |
- Videos start streaming automatically
- Many DVDs are missing scenes

Bottom Line: |
Im a big fan of many of the studio sites but for some reason Ive never joined Lethal Hardcore before this. That might be because LH DVDs are available on so many different websites that it didnt make sense to join the studio site. But in the interests of getting some new porn I figured Id take the plunge.
Lethal Hardcore is a mainstream porn studio and like most mainstream porn studios they try to cover as many niches as possible. Thats good because one site can have many niches that a member likes but its also bad because it can mean that you have no interest in a lot of the porn on the site. An example is that I prefer 18-20 year old models with small breasts and a well-served niche on this site is fuller-figured women with large breasts, both natural and fake. But I cant complain because the site still offers a lot for the money.
As a mainstream studio, LH hires the A-list models of the day. If you have a favorite mainstream porn model from any time of the past 15 years youll likely find her here.
If the upload dates are accurate then this site has been around since 1999. Im a little skeptical about that since the video quality of those old videos is actually pretty good. Its possible that the site remastered the scenes at some point though. Its a definite plus to have scenes this old that are of this quality. The oldest scenes are available at 1920x1080 with 5000kb/s and 29fps. While that sounds great you have to remember that these would have been shot on videotape or with low resolution cameras so these older scenes really dont look as good as the specs suggest they should. (A real plus for this site is that they do offer their back catalogue of titles. Some other studio sites dont so that. This is great for those of us who have been collecting porn for a long time as it gives us a chance to see some of our favorites from years ago.)
The newest videos are available with those same specs (1920x1080 with 5000kb/s and 29fps) but given that theyre shot with modern cameras they look like youd expect them to look.
All of the scenes have three download options which are labeled HQ, Stream and Mobile. None of the scenes have any specs listed with those options. The Stream videos are 1280x720 with 1500kb/s and 29fps. The Mobile videos are 640x360 with 500kb/s and 29fps.
One complaint about the page where the scene can be downloaded is that the scene will begin to stream automatically when you load the page. So be warned and make sure your speakers are turned down if you dont want anyone wondering what youre watching.
Another negative, and this is something that other studio sites seem to do as well, is that some of the DVDs are missing scenes. This is especially apparent when the model on the box cover doesnt have a scene uploaded.
One last quibble is that the primary biller is a site called customercare.co. Thats a biller that doesnt allow a member to cancel a recurring subscription easily as billers like CC Bill and Epoch do. Youre left emailing them to ask that the membership be cancelled so make sure to get started on that early to avoid a charge you dont want.
The site does have a search function but that seems to only give scenes rather than DVDs. There is a list of common niches on the left of the screen that are useful for sorting. But a site of this size with such a range of porn really needs to have a better search and tag system.
Both the site and the studio are active and a new DVD is added each week. There are currently 636 DVDs available with an average of four scenes per DVD. Thats good value for your porn dollars. The DVDs appear to be current and not just rehashed stuff from years ago since the models are current.
The site allows download managers but it doesnt allow pausing and resuming so if your download stops for whatever reason it will have to be started from the beginning again.
The site has a lot going for it but it isn't really a standout. The porn is good but Lethal Hardcore videos are available elsewhere so it doesnt make a membership here an essential addition to any collection. The video resolutions available here are certainly better than what youd find at sites like Videobox though. Overall Id recommend it since it is good porn and the site itself offers a good value even though there is no TBP discount. |

Pros: |
- A Team Skeet stand-alone site
- Unique scenes with rare models
- High production values
- Streaming and downloads
- Looks to be exclusive
- Download options
- Photos and screencaps
- Supports download managers
- Excellent TBP/PU discount |
Cons: |
- Far too many ads
- Small site
- Slow growth
- Not part of the Team Skeet network |
Bottom Line: |
I’m a fan of Team Skeet stuff so when a couple of my favourite models showed up at Little Asians and it was offered for a great discounted price through TBP I went for it. An obvious draw for many potential members is that these are mostly Asian models. I don’t really have an interest in any specific ethnicity but show me a site with the word “Little” in the title and I’m interested.
The site is part of the Team Skeet family of sites but it isn’t part of the larger network that features 20 of their sites. That’s bad because it drives up the cost, but the discount is great so the value of the site is still pretty good. It’s likely better still because Asian models and scenes with them aren’t all that common. The site features some of the most beautiful (and petite) Asian models in the business today.
There was an earlier comment here that the scenes aren’t exclusive in that they are scattered on other Team Skeet sites. While I can’t say with absolute certainty that these are exclusive to Little Asians I can say that I’ve looked on the tour pages of the main network for many of the models here and can’t find these scenes anywhere else. I’m open to be corrected, but they certainly appear to be exclusive.
While the site features mostly standard boy/girl scenes (not that that’s a bad thing) there is some variety with threesomes. The sex is relatively standard (no anal… sad!) but the setups do play on some stereotypes – of both Asians and petite women. As for Asian stereotypes there are scenes with the models dressed as Geishas, in Anime and in Kawaii outfits. The petite part is stereotyped by several schoolgirl outfits and generally clothes that accentuate the model’s youth and size.
The site is currently small with only 29 scenes available. One scene is added every two weeks so it will take the site some time to grow. But given the relative rarity of Asian models and the TBP discount it’s still a decent value.
Each scene offers streaming, downloads, a trailer, pictures and screencaps. Video downloads are available in five different resolutions: 360p, 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080p. While some may complain about the lack of 4K it should be noted that the bitrates are relatively high and the framerates are 30fps. This also means that file sizes can be larger than expected.
I found download speeds to be fast and had no problem using a download manager. I didn’t experience any throttling or download limits either.
The site is logically laid out though that’s to be expected on a site with 29 videos. One thing I found odd given the size of the site, but something that will become more valuable as the site grows, are the broad range of tags. The tags list the kind of narrative the scene has, the model’s eye colour, hair length and on and on. I can’t say how accurate these tags are but they are a great way to find any obscure interests.
Apart from the currently small site size and slow growth rate there aren’t any serious negatives here. Team Skeet is a top-quality porn company and Little Asians is no different.
Perhaps the biggest negative, and it really is only more of an annoyance, is that since this is a Team Skeet site there are lots and lots and lots of upsells. Even getting into the site is a bit of an ordeal to get past all the ads and upsells. I don’t mind some of it, but this much is annoying.
The bottom line is that this site has a lot going for it. It’s got unique and exclusive scenes with high production values on a site that is well laid out and easy to use. The excellent TBP/PU discount of $10 offsets the minor negatives as the site is an excellent value at that price. I highly recommend checking it out if you like Asian models, petite models, or, even better, a combination of both. |

Love Wetting

Status: |
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
- Large site
- Unique niche
- Many top name Czech stars
- Updates regularly (1-2 days)
- Various resolutions available, including 4K
- Bills through reputable billers |
Cons: |
- The site’s focus may be too narrow for many
- No photos offered
- Very short videos (approximately two minutes)
- No sex at all
- No TBP/PU discount |
Bottom Line: |
Peeing videos are something that I have a secondary interest in but the other peeing sites that I’ve joined have used that as part of sex or sexual play. Love Wetting is a fun site that is all about women urinating in public, in secluded places, with their pants on, with them showing pussy and with them putting on a show for us by having an unstaged contest. This is the first site that I’ve seen that removes a lot of sexuality from the scenes. The site has been around for quite a while so there is obviously a market for this material.
The site has about 2000 videos in total with those being broken down into four main categories. The 768 wetting scenes show the woman as dressed and wetting her clothes. The 1483 pissing scenes show the woman getting partly naked (at least) and peeing. In the 611 desperation and full bladder videos the urge to pee makes her urinate outdoors, generally in a very secluded location. An interesting twist is the 139 competitions and torturing videos where the model is paid extra for drinking something and then holding it in for a predetermined length of time. This makes it a contest of will versus biology. The looks on the women’s faces are well worth the price of admission.
There are some scenes with two women in them. Their interactions were playful, fun and entertaining. It was obvious that the models enjoyed making these scenes.
The scenes are all quite short (but how long can a peeing scene last anyway?) With the average being approximately two minutes long.
As I noted above, these scenes focus exclusively on the peeing and do not have a lot of sexual overtones as many other peeing sites do have.
Because this site is unusual in its focus, it’s helpful for me to describe a scene. One of my favourites is called “Five Rounds of Desperation” with Lady Dee (who is billed simply as Dee here).
Lady Dee has a chance at making $100 if she can hold her pee for 25 minutes. She has on several layers of ordinary everyday clothing, jeans and a top. There is nothing glamourous to see here. There are five rounds and in each one she drinks a glass of tea and can remove one layer of clothing. To slow down the stripping and make her even more sexy, this was while her hands are tied behind her back. In the fifth round she asked to have her hands untied. She gave up, running up a long staircase to the bathroom. Unusual yes, but I still found it quite hot.
The model roster here is a veritable Who’s Who of the Czech porn industry. I don’t collect a lot of scenes with Eastern European models, but I do have some that I like and I found most of them have scenes here. Perhaps part of the reason why so many models make an appearance here is that it is easy work compared to some of the other scenes they do. There are 182 models in total.
The site itself is logical and easy to use. Videos can be sorted by chronological order, model and there are also tags used to help identify specific interests.
There are four download options. They offer 4K (3840x2160), Full HD 1920x1080 and a high bitrate of 14K kb/s, HD 1280x720 and SD 960x540. The streaming choices are Full High Definition, High Definition and Standard Definition and the site uses Flow Player for streaming.
The downloads were fast and the site supports download managers but there is a limit of 100 downloads per hour. I’m no fan of download limits but I’m okay with them when they are reasonable and, in my opinion, this one is reasonable.
Oddly, the site doesn’t offer any photos or even any screenshots. This may be my own bias as a video collector that I don’t see this as a significant negative, but it still seems unusual that the site wouldn’t offer even a dozen or so screenshots from each of the videos.
An extra that is offered for loyalty is that for every week of membership you get access to four bonus videos. The site presently has 538 of those, so you can stay for a long time and be rewarded.
Unfortunately, the site doesn’t offer a TBP/PU discount.
While this isn’t a site that will have broad appeal, I’m confident that it squarely hits the target for people who are looking for this specialized niche. The models are beautiful and the site is easy to use and has lots of videos to offer. Perhaps the only improvement I can suggest is offering a discount through TBP/PU. If you have an interest in this very narrow and specialized niche, I recommend checking out Love Wetting. |
