Pros: |
- Huge archive of DVDs (almost as many as Videobox)
- Excellent price at $9.95
- Good variety of videos
- Some classics available
- Not a huge overlap with other DVD sites |
Cons: |
- HUGE variation in download speeds sometimes
- Occasionally download speeds make site temporarily unusable
- Confusing interface (until you get it figured out)
- Very little content available in HD
- A lot of reliance on compilation videos
- Downloads as mp4 |
Bottom Line: |
The reviews and comments on this site are all over the place, and I can understand why that is. Had I written this review a few days ago it would be completely different and have a very low score. I wouldnt have recommended it then either. First the good news though.
(Also, I should point out that there is more to Porn.com than just the DVD site. All Im reviewing here is the DVD site though.)
This site is huge and offers an amazing variety of DVDs from a large number of studios. If youre like me this may actually sound like bad news if youre no stranger to Videobox. The obvious worry is that there would be so much overlap that this site would be poor value. But surprisingly there isnt nearly as much overlap as I would have expected. Also, if youre into classics from the 80s and 90s (older too), Porn.com has a fairly good selection. When download speeds are good, they are vey good. I saw close to 2MB/sec on some downloads.
Also on the good news front is the fact that the videos can be sorted in many different ways. I particularly liked being able to sort by category. There is also an effective search function that allows you to search names or keywords.
Now for the bad news. First, the site is definitely confusing to use until you get it figured out. Once you find a scene in a DVD you want you select a button to download it. That takes you to a new screen where there is a button clearly labeled for download. But it never worked. Along the right hand side of the streaming screen there are a series of icons. It turns out that one of those will bring up yet another smaller screen that will then allow you to choose the size and format that you want. Of the hundreds of scenes Ive downloaded I cant say that more than a handful were available in HD.
The biggest problem with this site was the variability of download speeds. I can live with some variation I suspect thats normal with all sites depending on peak traffic. But Ive never seen anything like this. My first two days with this site I was only able to download a handful of scenes. The rest of the time the site was impossible to use. I literally saw speeds that would make someone with dial-up angry. I cancelled my membership immediately and looked for some advice from the PU forums. Luckily messmer and others convinced me that things would improve. And they did. While it was less than convenient to have to download on their schedule, I made it work. When they had the server capacity download speeds were excellent.
The bottom line is that this can be a great site. I know that lack of HD for some is a deal breaker, but if not I would actually recommend it for the great value. Be prepared for some frustration though, and when the server supports it, be prepared to download then because it might not last. |

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

Pros: |
- Access to approximately 200 classic porn movies from the 70s, 80s and early 90s.
- A good selection of titles from each of those decades
- Website is well laid out with good ability to sort titles
- Scenes can be sorted by film title, star name or general theme of scene
- An opportunity to get access to scenes from many well known porn stars
- Decent, but not great, download speeds
- Full access trial
- Some bonus sites available |
Cons: |
- Due to the age and quality of the originals, some files are grainy
- Doesnt appear to be any titles not widely available elsewhere
- Some models only have photos on the site
- No ability to sort by production date (that I could find)
- The bonus site offering classic porn has the same offerings as PSL |
Bottom Line: |
Good God, some of these women have pubic hair! I remember that! Yes, pubic hair, the relative rarity of anal sex and the gentle treatment of women seem to be the key differences between porn from a couple of decades ago and porn of today.
I stumbled on PSL after TPB did an initial review a short while back. Ive been thinking of taking a membership to a classic site but I wanted to be sure that Id be getting value for money. PSL certainly delivers value for the price.
An obvious issue with any older porn is the quality of the originals. Some of the files here, especially the older ones on the site, are poor quality. I cant fault PSL for this because the scenes have obviously been digitized from old film or video. The newer scenes on the site (from the late 80s and early 90s) are generally very well captured and dont look much different from new standard definition material being shot today.
The biggest plusses of the site are access to about 200 film titles ranging from the 1970s to the 1990s. There may be stuff from earlier, but I wouldnt necessarily recognize it as such. Lets just say that there are scenes where Ron Jeremy looks like he just graduated from high school. Having access to the films, of course, also gives access to a number of great stars from the same eras. The obvious stars like Ginger Lynn, Amber Lynn and Christy Canyon are there, but so are some stars that I had forgotten about. Candie Evans was a big favorite of mine and I had forgotten about her until I rediscovered her here. And I had forgotten how stunningly beautiful Shauna Grant was when she did porn. She is the equal to any A-lister since then.
The site doesnt have a search function, but it does have multiple ways to sort the material that is there. You can sort by complete DVD, by star or by theme. These work well.
The site also has pictures, which dont appear to be zipped.
Speaking of pictures, one of the reasons I joined this site was because it advertised Tammi Ann was on it. She is, but only in photo form. Most models have a scene or two (at a minimum) here, but a few only offer pictures. That wasnt clear when I signed up.
The bottom line is that this site offers decent value and Id recommend it if you like classic porn. There is a good selection of material, though most of it is also available on other sites. The site offers useful and effective ways to sort through what they have to find what you want. I hope they continue to grow and put the effort into maintaining the site, though I realize that there are a finite number of titles available. |

Pros: |
- 175 studios (some major, some niche)
- 9000+ DVDs
- Many individual scenes independent of DVDs
- Some exclusive sites
- Updates daily
- Adds new studios
- Supports download managers (IDM for me)
- No obvious time-outs for files
- TBP / PU special membership makes it really worthwhile |
Cons: |
- Not all sites update
- Like other DVD mega-sites, there is a lot of crap to sort through while looking for the gems |
Bottom Line: |
I wrote a review of this site about a year ago after my first membership here and after re-reading that I can say that it all still applies. I know that Im not the only PU member who regularly visits the same sites so my perspective in this second review is to give some thoughts about whether it is worth joining a second or later time. Ill cut to the chase, the answer to that is certainly yes, but it isnt as easy a decision to make as with some other sites.
PSN suffers from a similar problem to other DVD sites, namely the availability of new material to keep updating the site. Like Videobox, PSN uploads five DVD titles per day. Unlike VB though, PSN doesnt put the complete title up at once. You may see a DVD that you really want only to find that the scene you really want is due to be posted later. The good news is that you usually wont have to wait more than a few days to get all the scenes in that DVD. The problem with that uploading schedule for both PSN and VB is that they have to upload a lot of crap to keep to it. The good news is that, in my opinion, PSN uploads less crap than VB.
The site is large, with over 9000 DVDs already posted from 175 studios. The studios range from the biggest of the big names like Elegant Angel and Private to more niche oriented studios. In short, there is likely something here for everyone. It appears that PSN continues to add studios because, as I noted in a comment a few weeks ago, they are now the only site Im aware of that has Max Hardcore DVDs available for download. Yes, Max is polarizing, but I still think it reflects well on PSN to licence and make available these titles, even if they are the edited American versions.
The site continues to offer downloads in multiple formats, with AVI, H.264 and MPEG being the most common. The H.264 files come in at 720x540 and look decent so only true size queens will miss higher definition scenes.
I use Internet Download Manager and had no problems. The links didnt time out in the time it took to download them and download speeds were as fast as I see with most porn sites.
One problem that I perceived (and am open to being corrected on if Im wrong) is that there is some overlap within the sites themselves. Take the site Sperm Cocktail which offers a lot of Brandon Irons material including his series A Good Source of Iron. Sorting the site by DVDs gives you all the DVDs obviously, which you can then click on and download the individual scenes from each. You can also sort by scene which appears to includes a lot that isnt on the DVDs but that is mixed in with the same scenes that are on the DVDs which means that you will likely end up downloading some stuff twice. This is no big deal if you dont care to associate a scene with the DVD it is from, but for those of us who like to organize by DVD it can be an issue.
While this likely wont happen if you join, I will point out that both times I did I had initial problems and Ive read of others having similar problems. The first time I joined they had just started offering the full access to TBP/PU members and I got missed. This time after paying my fee I was given limited trial access. The good news is that on both occasions customer service was helpful and resolved the problems quickly.
One advantage to a rejoin is that during your first time through youve likely downloaded all the material you wanted from the several sites that no longer update. Most of these are solo model sites where the model has left the business. This is an advantage on a rejoin because PSN still has a download limit of 100 files per 24 hour period and many of the files on the older sites are small so you can hit the limit. Im no fan of limits but I have to admit that the one here is pretty reasonable. It would have to be a rainy, hung-over Sunday to hit the limit.
One point that bears mentioning even though it is a repeat of what I said in my original review is that if you want to join this site it is very important to join through TBP / PU. Joining through TBP / PU makes what might be a decent membership and makes it a great one. The difference is that joining through here gets you access to the otherwise-optional Moviez material which is really the bulk of the good material on the site.
In my opinion, PSN is definitely worth a re-join. They continue to expand and even add new studios. They offer a great collection of mainstream American porn along with a good mix of lesser known European material and even some niche stuff. Ill definitely be back again too. |

Pros: |
- When you join through TBP/PU you get full access to the entire site
- Huge archive of material
- Large volume of DVD porn
- Large volume of semi-exclusive stuff
- A lot less overlap with other DVD sites that you might expect
- Wide range of genres covered
- Decent collection of 1990s porn
- Good download speeds (not extremely fast, but slightly better than average)
- Excellent customer service
- new scenes added daily |
Cons: |
- Navigation can be confusing
- Search function doesnt work well
- Many DVD scenes are listed under a created title that can be confusing (instead of listing it as Taylor Rain in Taylor Rain Gets Fucked in the Ass Volume 74, the scene might be listed as hot teen brunette fucked in the ass.)
- Download limit of 100 files per day (which for most people isnt too bad, but some of the older scenes are broken down into smaller files so that might cause more of a problem
- No HD options on even the newer stuff
- Some of the exclusive sites arent updating (I cant and wont fault PSN for this since the most likely cause is that the model has left the business) |
Bottom Line: |
In the past when Ive had friends ask me how they can turf their collection of 1980s Hustler mags and join the new world of internet porn, I steered them to Videobox. Ill still do that, but Ill also tell them to get a membership at PornStar Network too. This is a great site with access to a great mix of DVD porn and some seemingly exclusive stuff too. Many of the best models from Quebec are here. (The site is run out of Quebec, so that makes sense.)
The site also features access to over 130 porn studios, some major, some smaller. Some studios have almost 600 DVDs here. The smaller ones less. What surprised me was that there was not as much overlap with Videobox as I expected. Even in the studios that both have, there were titles here that I couldnt get elsewhere.
One factor that could have been a serious negative has been turned into a positive and is a reward for those of us who hang out at TBP/PU. The membership for those who stumble in from the open web is tiered: your basic membership excludes access to MovieZ files that make up about 50% of what is on the site. That sucks, unless you join through TBP/PU. Doing so gives you full access to the entire site, and there is a lot of material here.
All the extra material that you get is accessed through PSN but it is all watermarked as VideosZ. I cant say for sure that PSN gets you access to all of VideosZ stuff, but it must be close. If youre considering a VideosZ membership this might be the better value.
Many of the files have some options for download, though the premium stuff through MovieZ is only available as AVI files.
Download speeds average about 650MB/sec, though that can get higher on occasion. One problem I encountered several times was that while download speeds remained the same, the navigation speed dropped off to the point where it was frustrating to use. That didnt happen often, but it was annoying when it did.
Pictures are available on most of the exclusive sites, but I dont download those so I dont have a lot of detail. Zips are available.
Search and navigation functions arent up to standard, but once you figure it out you can muck about. Sometimes DVD scenes can be catalogued using a description that makes it harder to find if youre looking for a star or a title.
This probably isnt relevant now, but when I joined they were in the process of giving PU members full access and I was missed somehow. The customer service was excellent and fast. (Two thumbs up to the TBP staff for their help with this too!)
The bottom line is that not only will I recommend this site to porn buddies, I already have. The video quality and navigation are about industry standard, but the sheer volume of porn here makes this an excellent value whether youre just starting out or whether (like me) you have enough titles to rival the best porn store in the country. To top it off, the material is a good mix of DVD and more exclusive. |

Pros: |
- Large network
- 26 model sites
- 1389 videos
- Multiple options for downloading videos
- 1973 photo sets
- Photos available as singles or zips
- Many of the photo sets are large (500+ photos)
- Updates daily
- TBP/PU discount
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Videos play automatically when page loads
- Photos are relatively low quality
- Too many enhanced models for my tastes |
Bottom Line: |
Pornstar Platinum Network is a large network of 26 pornstar sites. Several A-list models have sites here, like Amy Brooke, Tegan Summers and Trinity St. Claire. The model sites work great for narrowing your search for scenes and photos with a specific model but the main network gives access to everything. There are currently 1389 videos and 1973 photo sets uploaded across all the sites in the network. The network updates with one upload per day (either a video or a photo set) and these are spread across all the sites.
The network layout is far too rudimentary for its size. There is a search function available and you can sort by individual models through the sub-sites and sort by videos or photos.
The site started in 2009 but the videos uploaded then were pretty low quality. Some are as low as 480x320 and 1000kb/s. That wasnt good even for 2009. The good news is that the newer videos are a much better quality at 1920x1080 and 10,000kb/s.
The photos arent great quality whenever they were posted. Older photos are 1500x1000 and the newer ones are 1600x900. The photos are available as singles or zips and some of the photosets are huge with over 500 photos.
The site supports download managers and download speeds were good at all times. I had no issues with links timing out.
I cant give a definitive answer as to whether much of the material here is exclusive but I suspect that a lot of it is. I collect a lot of Amy Brookes stuff and I didnt recognize any of the scenes as ones I had already seen.
This is subjective, but I dont like fake breasts and there seem to be a lot of them on display here. Two of my favorite models, Amy Brooke and Trinity St. Claire, had enhancements and spoiled their appearances by looking unnatural.
Another pet peeve of mine is also found here: when you load a video page the video starts playing automatically. That hogs bandwidth and if you forget to turn your speakers down it can be a bit embarrassing. In my opinion, streaming is an option, not something that should be foisted on all users.
Speaking of downloads, there is usually the option of downloading a WMV or MP4 file. My preference is MP4 but I downloaded a few WMV files to compare them. The few I looked at were 1920x1080 but had a very low bitrate of less than 2000kb/s so they looked badly pixilated even on a 24 monitor. My advice is to watch a few to make sure you can live with the lower quality before downloading a bunch of WMV files.
Overall Im sitting on the fence as to whether Id recommend this. There are a lot of good things about the site, like its size, regular updates, photo sets and videos, but on the downside the network isnt well laid out and a lot of the older material is low quality. The deciding factor for me was access to a few specific scenes at the low TBP discount price. If you find yourself in that same situation then youll at least go in knowing that the network is less than perfect.
(I should add that one of the sites in the network is called Fukks. It seems to be a stand-alone site that is only affiliated with the main network. It requires entering a username and password, but my main network login wouldnt work.) |

Pros: |
- Attractive semi-amateurs
- Multiple sites in the network
- Playful scenes shot in Hawaii
- Scenes available in multiple resolutions
- Photos available
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Site design is a decade old and it shows
- Scenes aren't dated
- Doesnt appear to update frequently
- Scene resolutions are just okay
- Photos not zipped
- No TBP discount |
Bottom Line: |
For the purposes of this review Ill treat POV Porn, Peter Girls and Beach House XXX as a network since a membership to one gets you access to the others. At least one other site also used to be included with this membership, Lap Dance Gone Bad, and while that is still shown in the tour pages I couldnt find any way to access it.
I last joined this site in 2010 and I really liked what they had to offer so I rejoined recently. The porn is still very good but the site hasnt grown much or improved in the past seven years. In fact, its hardly grown at all since all I could find that seemed new over those years were approximately 50 scenes.
One thing that I really liked about the site was that most of the scenes had a really playful nature about them and allowed the models personality to show through. Im a big fan of outdoor scenes and there are a lot of them here as the site is based in Hawaii. Several scenes are available with beach nudity, blowjobs and even sex.
This network had a lot going for it in 2010: it offered some hot solo, lesbian and hardcore scenes with many models who didnt seem to appear elsewhere. While that is certainly a positive aspect it can also be seen as a negative one because it is less likely that prospective members would be enticed to join to get access to scenes from a specific model. The only well-known models that I saw on the site were Cody Lane and Taryn Thomas, both of who have been retired from the business for many years. (As an aside, when I first joined this site seven years ago one of the scenes that I particularly liked was a scene shot very early in Taryns career. She wasnt even using the name Taryn Thomas at the time.)
Assuming that a prospective member would be looking to join for the first time in 2017 the biggest detriment to the site is that it really is a relic from 10 years ago. Whether you are looking at the tour or the member pages you are likely to be struck with how dated they look. Unfortunately, this late 2000s feel to the site also shows up in many of the scene resolutions. While many of the newer scenes do have acceptable resolution you dont have to go back too far into the past to find resolutions that were probably just marginal even 15 years ago. To make matters worse, many of the older scenes are only available in segments. Im not technically astute, but it seems to me that a webmaster would want to consider remastering some of the older material or at least stitching together into one download. To be fair, some of the resolutions aren't bad. The best I saw was 1440x1080. Interestingly, this resolution is usually offered with two bitrates, one around 3000kb/s and the other around 8500kb/s. These higher bitrates are only offered on the few scenes posted in 2013 and 2016.
While the heyday of the site was certainly the late 2000s there have been some more recent entries. While a majority of the scenes show a copyright mark from 2009 or early there are some scenes that have copyrights from 2013 and a few that have copyrights from 2016. I have been a member at the site for just under a month now and can report that there have been no updates during that time. On the main page there is a list of 17 future updates but there is no timeline for when those may be uploaded.
Further indicating that the site is not particularly active is the fact that the site owner, Peter Romero, has a blog on the site where the most recent entry is from 2009.
The site does also offer photos and it is entirely possible that back when the site was active that the intention was that it would appeal equally to video and photo collectors. Unfortunately, that probably didnt work out all that well because for some reason the photos are not offered as a zipped download. Like the videos, the photo resolution varies widely.
The site supports download managers and I had no issue using one. This is largely irrelevant, however, because the file sizes are not particularly large. I didnt encounter any download limits but given that I downloaded fewer than 40 scenes it is unlikely that I would have hit one anyway.
Deciding on whether or not this site merits a recommendation is difficult. On the one hand this collection of sites offers some exclusive porn featuring some beautiful amateur models who dont seem to appear elsewhere in scenes shot on location in Hawaii. On the other hand this great porn is let down by a site and technical aspects that belong in the last decade. My opinion might be different if the site offered a generous TBP discount but at full price I just dont think it offers enough for anyone other than a serious collector to consider it. |

Pros: |
- Good quality POV scenes
- Part of a bigger (but relatively small) network
- Mostly amateur models
- Some porn stars, before they were stars
- Good selection of scenes
- Updates (Im unsure of the schedule though)
- Pictures (but no zips)
- The scenes arent over-produced; they have a fun feel to them
- Good value when joining at the TPB / PU price |
Cons: |
- Download speeds arent up to industry standards |
Bottom Line: |
Two things to start: 1) this review pretty much applies entirely to Peter Girls too. They are part of the same network. POVPorn.com is hardcore-themed, while Peter Girls is more softcore, with some oral and handjobs. 2) I wouldnt normally submit two reviews for a network, but I joined through Lap Dance Gone Bad which turned out to be just a small secondary network site. POVPorn.com and Peter Girls are the main sites and deserve a separate review.
I drafted this review a few days ago but didnt post it. Im glad I gave it some time since Ive completely changed my position on this after watching many of the scenes again. This review may be a lot more subjective than Id usually write. I really like this network. Peter Romero makes some excellent porn. It isnt technically superior, but that adds to some of the amateur allure. He reminds me of the early days of gonzo porn when it was being shaped by guys like John Stagliano and Joey Silvera. This porn looks like it was fun to make, and that makes it fun to watch too. (Peter If you read this, PLEASE make more Lap Dance Gone Bad scenes! That is an under-served niche.)
It is difficult to say precisely how many scenes are on this one site because there is a lot of cross-linking between the two main sites. The sites appear to date back to 2001 and some of the scenes date back to then. Needless to say, the quality of those scenes is low as was the standard then. Most of the older scenes are also broken into smaller files. Between the two sites there are easily over a hundred scenes. The site says they update frequently and they do update though Im not certain as to the schedule. The newer scenes are available in three sizes, with the best being 3300kbps. Download speeds arent up to industry standards. Average speeds are 250KB/sec. I can report that the medium quality scenes (1000kbps, 640x480) look good.
There are also photos available for most of the scenes, but there is no option for zips.
The best feature of the site is the models that they have. The site is not skewed to professional porn models, though some are here. Of those, most of them seem to appear very early in their careers. For example, Taryn Thomas appears in 2004 (her career began that year) as Brynne. Its fun to see her and others so fresh in the early days of her career. Many of the other models are unknown to me and appear to be true amateurs.
Im not a big fan of the POV genre, but Peter makes it work and is able to capture the action well without making himself the star of the scene or shaking the camera so badly that the scene is unwatchable. For POV, this is well done.
Joining the network through TPB / PU gets you a reduced price. For that price you get some really decent porn. It has a true amateur feel to it and I mean that in a good sense. If you like amateurs, porn stars before they were stars or POV, this site is worth a membership. |

Pros: |
- Very rare niche (Ive never seen another site that specializes in it)
- Lots of videos
- Amateur models
- Bundled with another good site (Glory Hole Secrets)
- Options for streaming and downloading
- Photos available
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Some of the models aren't typical porn models (which some may consider a good thing) |
Bottom Line: |
I wouldnt normally write a full review for a site that is bundled with another site, but POV Wars merits an exception. For one, many may see this as the primary site and Glory Hole Secrets as the add-on. For another, its in an unusual niche that people may have an interest in but not be aware that there is a site that caters to it.
So what is this unusual niche? Its a bit hard to describe but may be best described as one girl and five guys. But it isn't a gangbang site; the guys have sex with the girl one after the other and each session forms a different scene. Each models session starts with her sitting on a couch and being interviewed. Then the first guy comes in and from then on most of the scene is shot POV style, with some shots from a camerman. The guy and girl chat a bit, she undresses, goes down on him, they have sex and he finishes, usually with an oral with swallow. Then the next guy comes in and the process starts over again. If this happens to be important to anyone, the girl is dressed at the beginning each segment. So the best way to describe the niche is that its girls pulling a train if such a niche exists.
Its difficult to say precisely how many scenes are here because, for one thing, the set-up lends itself to at least two interpretations of what a scene is. Is a scene all five sessions with one model or is a scene one session and each model then has five scenes? The definition is further blurred because most of the scenes are broken down into five sessions each downloaded or streamed separately while some scenes are downloaded or streamed as the full scene with all five sessions in the same download. Confused? Heres what I can say for sure: there are currently 167 videos available to upload featuring 42 models. Some of those are full-length scenes but most are broken down into separate sessions with each guy. It does appear that since the beginning of 2015 all of the new scenes added are full-length with all five sessions in the download.
One new scene per week is uploaded.
The same models here are those found on the sister site, Glory Hole Secrets. Thats good and bad because if you like true amateurs youll like this site but many of the women dont fit the typical porn ideal. Thats not good or bad, its just a fact. There are different ages and body types represented.
Streaming is available in two different resolutions, one which is labelled as HD. I dont use streaming so I cant give an opinion on that. Downloads (all MP4) are available in 1920x1080 at 6000kb/s, 1280x720 at 3500kb/s, 960x540 and an unspecified resolution for phones and devices. While the bitrates are lower than Id expect for the screen resolutions they still look good.
I dont think anyone would consider this a photo site but they do offer photos for those who are interested. Currently there are 21 photo sets available (these appear to be of the full scene with all five guys). Photos sets had been uploaded weekly but stopped in December 2014 so if you join for photos there may not be any updates coming. Photos are available as singles or zips in either 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
The site uses a simple layout which is all that it needs. You can sort by scene, by model or by tag. With a niche this narrow you really dont need a lot more.
This site has a lot going for it: it has enough available to make it a decent value on a site that is simple to use with good download speeds and it supports download managers. It also comes bundled with Glory Hole Secrets which is a good glory hole site. But what makes the site stand out is the niche it offers. Im not aware of any other site that focuses solely on this kind of scene and for that reason alone many people may consider joining. For all of these reasons Id recommend checking the site out. |

Pros: |
- Tens of thousands of videos
- Some of videos appear to be exclusive
- Some videos have decent resolutions |
Cons: |
- Few and irregular updates
- Most sites not updating
- A lot of overlap between sites
- The one main site uses low-quality updates
- Almost a clone of Pornstar Network |
Bottom Line: |
This review may be a lot more ambiguous than what I normally write but I seem to have more questions than answers about this site (these sites?).
The network is made up of 25 pornstar sites, a mega-site, a meduim-sized site and four niche sites. I cant even give an educated guess as to how many DVDs or scenes are available here because there is a lot of overlap between the sites, but it would be safe to say that there are tens of thousands of videos here. Sounds enticing, doesnt it?
Of the 25 pornstar sites only four are updating and the update schedules of those can be generously described as sporadic. There can be two updates in a week and then eight months until the next one. The niche sites no longer update. The medium-sized site, called Premium Pass also doesnt update. The mega-site, Premium Vids, updates with a new DVD being added almost daily. That sounds okay doesnt it?
But maybe not. I havent been a member at Pornstar Network in a while, but having had a membership at PSN a couple of years ago I was immediately struck that Premium Vids is exactly the same as PSN. Comparing the PSN tour pages to PV shows that PSN says they have a lot more videos though, but that may be a result of PSN requiring an upgrade to access all their videos. This is just speculation, but maybe PSN minus the upgrade-required vids equals Premium Vids.
If that isn't a big enough issue, the mega-site relies heavily, and perhaps exclusively, on lower-tier studios with unknown models. Many of these are also very old so the video quality is pretty bad too.
I did check the video quality on some of the later updates on the pornstar sites and those are not bad at 1280x720. I suspect the proportion of videos with that resolution is quite low.
I cant say for certain, but a lot of the videos on the pornstar sites seem to be exclusive (with the possible exception of Pornstar Network).
Perhaps the strangest thing I experienced with this site is that as an avid porn collector I downloaded exactly zero videos from this site (other than a couple of samples to check resolutions which were then deleted). This occurs so rarely that Im not even sure if it has happened to me.
So would I recommend this site? Only to a narrow group of collectors who find that a favorite model has some scenes here and he just has to get them. Other than that Id stay away from this site. Its mostly a collection of older videos, many of them from low-grade studios with unknown models. If you have $20 to spend on a porn membership you can do a lot better than this.
I think high praise of a site is to tell readers that I liked it so much thats Ill definitely be rejoining it again. In this case, its fair to say that Ill never join Premium Pass again.
(Luckily, cancelling my membership was easy.) |

|
Pros: |
- Part of the Fame group of porn sites.
- I hope that other Fame sites dont adopt the pay-to-download model
- 120+ videos
- Updates frequently (every two or three days)
- Lots of BTS |
Cons: |
- Basic membership only gives streaming
- Downloads cost extra per scene
- Cancelling can be tricky |
Bottom Line: |
I should have paid more attention before joining this site because even though the TBP page lists it as streaming only with downloads costing more, I somehow missed that. Downloading could become an expensive option since there isn't a one-charge add-on fee to unlock downloads but there is a requirement to pay an additional $2.95 per scene that you want to download. That could add up quickly.
Pretty Dirty is part of the Fame Digital family of sites so there is some expectation of quality porn offered on a well-designed site and both of those expectations have been met.
The quality of the porn is more of a subjective judgment since it really comes down to what each person likes. My preference is for the harder-edged stuff found at other Fame sites (such as Evil Angel) but even though the porn is more mainstream here it still meets the same high production values found on sister sites. While you will find some scenes that have somewhat edgier plots like threeways and anal, the focus here is more on old-fashioned boy/girl sex. The models are all A-list or models who are new to the business. This site will certainly appeal to anyone who likes the newest models in the business.
Two things about the porn itself are worth noting. First, this site has a lot of older man, younger woman stuff with a sizable proportion of that being the stepdaughter / stepfather niche. There are lots of other niches served, but if you like these ones this site has a lot to keep you entertained. The second thing is that the site offers a lot of behind-the-scenes material and what they offer tends to be more than just a camera recording the scene being shot. The BTS stuff here has some of that fly-on-the-wall footage but spends more time interviewing the performers. For those of us interested in knowing what makes some of our favorite models tick these scenes are interesting to watch.
The site itself is logical and well laid out. Each scene is identified by a medium-sized thumbnail with the performers, scene name and upload date listed too. Clicking on the thumbnail brings you to a separate page where you can view a trailer or the full scene. I dont normally stream scenes so the number of resolutions available seems a bit of overkill to me, but Ill assume that there is demand for the wide variation. The scenes can be streamed in 160p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080p. As I noted above if you want to download a scene you can do so for an additional $2.95 charge. Presumably the same resolutions would be available for the downloads as those are offered on other Fame sites too.
The site offers photos as both singles and zips. There are no additional charges for downloading the photos.
The site currently has approximately 130 scenes available and updates frequently with a new scene being added every few days. The BTS uploads aren't included in that update schedule so a member wont feel cheated if an update is a BTS scene.
The site offers a lot of different ways to sort and search and those seem to be effective. Many of the scenes are part of a series so you can go to that series. You can sort by niche using tags and there is also a search function. You can sort by scene or by the female star.
One warning that has to go along with and Fame site is that cancelling is easy IF you know what information youll need. The most critical piece of information will be in your email inbox, and thats what Fame site were you billed through. Fame uses several of them (and even added a new billing site recently) and if you pick the wrong one you wont find your membership. Youll also need your username and password so keep those handy especially if you have the site remember your login credentials so you dont have to.
Giving this site a score and a recommendation is tough to do because I find the porn a little too tame and I prefer to download my porn. But for someone who likes more mainstream porn and prefers streaming this site could be a perfect fit for them. My biggest beefs with the site are more subjective and I dont want to factor those preferences into the score or recommendation. So wearing my objective porn-reviewer hat Id say that this site offers a decent collection of some well-shot porn starring some of the newest and hottest models in the business. The production values are high. The site itself is laid out well and finding something youll like is easy. The site offers great value for the $15 TBP discount price.
But its fair to say that most people who are members here at PU are more collectors so you need to be warned that this is a streaming site only unless you want to spend a lot of money. Im going to keep my fingers crossed that this business model doesnt spread to other Fame sites. |

Pros: |
- 660 Private titles
- Likely the most lavish productions of any current large studio
- Stunning models
- Some HD available
- Supports download managers
- Lots of anal (might be a con for some)
- Updates with two scenes (not full DVDs) added per day |
Cons: |
- Not a true network of sites as indicated
- Download speeds can vary
- Sorting functions are limited
- A few minor issues with separate links leading to the same scene and wrong star names |
Bottom Line: |
This is one of the better studio sites where Ive had a membership, but since I find most studio sites lacking in some key areas that isnt necessarily praise. This is a good site that offers solid value though.
Youll note that I refer to this as a site while others consider it a network. The TBP review notes that a membership to the main site comes with ten sites in total. Thats sort of true, because those other sites exist, but it is also misleading. The additional sites contain nothing different from what is on the main site. The additional sites are more like niche tags. If you sort by DVD and then open a DVD youll see that some of the scenes in the DVD are tagged with the watermarks of those bonus sites. While this may be useful for sorting a niche you like, no one should join expecting access to both Private and bonus sites offering additional and unique content.
Currently the site has 660 DVDs available. Unlike so many other studio sites it appears that Private hasnt neglected to upload some scenes in DVDs. For those who know Privates videos they dont need an introduction, but for those not familiar with them, Private is a European studio (likely the oldest in the industry) known for high quality productions. The studio uses only the best looking models (mostly European but a few American A-listers too), has incredibly high production values and often shoots in exotic (and expensive) locations. Like so much of European porn, anal sex is frequent which may deter some members. If the site has a weak point, it isnt the quality of the porn.
The sites main weak point, as seems to be common with studio sites, is in the website execution. The site itself is simple, which in many cases is an advantage, but in this case more detail and options should be made available. For example, when sorting by DVD (my preference) the only option is to sort by popularity or title. There is no option to sort by upload date or HD versus SD content.
Ill confess that Ive become a bit of a size queen in recent months: life is too short for low res porn. The result is that unless there is a specific scene that I really want, I wont download anything less than 720p. On this site, that meant leaving a lot of porn on the table. (I cant really say how much HD is available because there is no way that I can find to sort for it, but I estimate that maybe 40% is available as HD.) Given that some of the DVDs available here were filmed prior to HD I cant fault the studio for this and I assume that all newly shot and uploaded DVDs will be available in HD.
Where only SD is available there is usually only one option of 720x480, though some come in at 720x540. The only file type offered is mp4. Many scenes also offer a lower-res version for mobile devices.
The HD scenes still only offer mp4 but there are more options for resolutions. Those are 480p, 720p, 1080p and mobile. I downloaded the 1080p and those came in at 1920x1080 at 4,100kb/s and 25fps. Interestingly (for a non-tech guy) the file sizes are much smaller than Im used to seeing for scenes of this resolution. I dont understand how theyre encoded, but the site really has struck a great balance between how the scenes look (they look great clear and crisp) and the file size. I certainly appreciate their effort.
Scenes are also available for streaming in the same resolutions offered for downloads.
The site allows download managers and I had no issue with timeouts. I realize that some have reported being limited to five downloads at once, but since I only use a manager to queue up downloads for one-at-a-time download I had no issues. I was also able to continue navigating when downloading contrary to what some others have reported. Download speeds were up to normal standards but I did see speeds drop off on a few occasions. I usually saw 10+MB/s but it could drop as low as 3MB/s for short periods.
A couple of minor issues popped up in that on more than one occasion I went to download a scene and my download manager said I already had downloaded it. It appears that some of the links may lead to the wrong scene. Another relatively minor quibble is that on maybe a dozen or so of the scenes I downloaded the female talent was incorrectly listed. As this is the studio that shot the video Id like to think they could avoid this mistake.
The bottom line for me is that this is a solid site that offers a lot of top-quality porn for a fair price. While the site could use more tags and search tools, and should continue to add HD content, even as it stands it offers great value for your porn dollars. |

Pros: |
- A very good, straightforward boy/girl site
- Some unique ‘conversations’ with the models
- A-list models
- Well shot scenes
- Streaming
- Downloading in three resolutions
- 80+ scenes
- Updates
- Supports download managers
- Bills through Epoch
- Decent price |
Cons: |
- No zips on photos
- Download speeds vary |
Bottom Line: |
It’s probably not unreasonable to say that many porn sites try to have a hook that makes them unique to draw in subscribers. A problem I have with this site – though there are few problems – is describing what makes this site unique.
The site’s name, Producer’s Fun, has some significance. One of the males in the scenes plays the role of a porn producer who is finally able to get in front of the camera and have some fun himself. The potential issue that some may have with this setup is that it doesn’t really allow for a lot of unique porn, but the good news is that it does allow for some decent boy/girl scenes regardless of the setup.
There is one thing that does make this site unique and interesting. There are approximately 30+ scenes on the site labelled as “A Fucking Conversation.” They aren’t lying. These may start out like typical BTS scenes or interviews but shortly into the ‘conversation’ the ‘producer,’ (presumably) steps in and starts fucking the model while she is being interviewed. I find two things interesting about these ‘conversations.’ The first is that they are more in-depth than the typical BTS and porn interviews we’ve all seen too many times. The questions aren’t ‘when did you first have sex?’ and stuff like that. I find these interviews are actually interesting to watch as they are just normal conversations about everyday things. The model’s personality is allowed to shine through. The second thing that makes these interesting is that once the model starts getting fucked it’s fun to see her constantly lose her concentration around the conversation. She’s obviously having some trouble balancing having an in-depth conversation at one end as a dick slides in and out of her at the other. Readers should note that these conversations are stand-alone scenes so those who don’t want to see that interaction can skip them and just watch the ‘normal’ sex scenes.
All of the scenes, including the conversations are well shot and edited. This isn’t a site run by amateurs.
The other scenes on the site are relatively generic boy/girl scenes. As someone who prefers more of a unique setup I still liked these scenes a lot primarily because whoever does the casting has only cast A-list models. These are some of the best models in the business today and I don’t mind adding a boy/girl scene of a model I like to my collection. The added gravy is when these A-listers have a ‘fucking conversation.’
Virtually all of the sex is relatively standard: oral for both, vaginal sex and then a facial.
The site currently has just over 80 scenes, with 30 of them being the ‘conversations.’ The site started in late 2017 and is currently updating though the update schedule is a bit irregular. There are times when new scenes are added just a few days apart and then there can be gaps of 10 or 12 days between scenes.
Each scene is available to be streamed though there are no options for streaming resolutions. Every scene is also available for download and there are three options available: 480p, 720p and 1080p. I downloaded the 1080p files and found that the bitrates were a little lower than I’ve seen in other 1080p files on other sites. The bitrates varied from about 4500 to 6500kb/s. The good news is that I still found them sharp. The other good news is that with these lower bitrates the file sizes aren’t huge as with some other sites.
One minor annoyance, and I admit this is being nitpicky, but the person doing the page layouts wasn’t consistent in laying out the links for the three resolutions. On some pages they may be listed as 480, 720, 1080 while on others they could be in a completely different order. I found I occasionally downloaded a lower resolution than I wanted because of this.
I had no issues with using a download manager on the site though I did see a wide variation in download speeds. The speeds were never great but quite often dropped lower than I’d expect to see on such an otherwise professional page.
The site offers photos but if they offer a way to download them as zips I wasn’t able to find it.
The site bills through Epoch so you can know your credit card information is secure and that you can easily cancel or get support when you need to.
The bottom line for me is that while many of the scenes are relatively generic they are well shot and feature some of the best models in the business. An added feature is the conversations with these models while they are getting fucked. While the site doesn’t offer a TBP discount the monthly subscription is only $20 which makes this a good value without a discount. Add to that the security of billing through Epoch and this is a site well worth having a look at. |

Pros: |
- Fun theme-based site
- Includes three other channels
- Most, if not all, is exclusive
- Mix of known and new stars
- Streaming and downloads
- Downloads in three resolutions
- Easy to navigate
- Updates regularly
- TBP discount
- Bills through Epoch |
Cons: |
- Models not listed on main page
- Some confusion in how this site is affiliated with VixenX |
Bottom Line: |
I like themed porn and coming up with such a broad theme as property lends itself to many possibilities. The one common denominator here is that there is a property, usually an apartment or a house, as the setting. Add in a couple of porn stars and let the magic happen. It isn't hard to come up with several property-themed setups and youll find them here. There is a female real estate agent looking to flip a house thats been on the market too long, there is the female real estate agent who brings her handyman over to fix something, there is the young lass who is behind on her rent Im sure you get the idea. As someone who likes the scene setup as much as the sex itself this site has some good offerings.
The site currently has 91 scenes uploaded, with the first one dated from March 2015. The site updates regularly with one scene being added per week.
The scenes are available as streaming (in one unknown resolution) and as downloads. Downloads are available in three resolutions: 854x480 (1700kb/s, 29fps), 1280x720 (6500kb/s, 59fps) and 1920x1080 (13,000kb/s, 59fps). All of those are MP4. I tend to favour 720p files as they are usually a good compromise between video quality and file size but this time I may have made the wrong choice, not because the 720p are bad (they aren't) but that the 1080p look really amazing without a huge file size increase. For example, the Megan Rain scene in 720p is 1.74GB and 3.49GB in 1080p. The quality difference is striking though.
The site has scenes with the whos who in the industry at the time the scenes were shot but they also have a good mix of lesser-knowns. Im not saying that these are B-list models so they may be up-and-cummers or one-and-done. I collect a lot of porn and many of them are unknown to me. They are all 18-22 and are mostly petite and Caucasian.
The scenes may follow a few different types of setups but other than that they are standard porn. One of the talents propositions the other and the scene gets started. Much of the video is shot POV style and in a way that plays with the idea that this is a reality-type scene. Most of the scenes end with a facial. Sadly, apparently when property issues at stake no one considers the universal mediation technique of anal sex.
There is a bit of confusion (on my part) regarding how this site is affiliated with other sites. The scenes are all watermarked as being VixenX. Joining Property Sex gives you access to four themed sites but if you click through the links here at TBP you will find that a membership to VixenX also gives you access to Property Sex. But TBP reports that joining through Private Porn Pass gives you access to VixenX too but none of the Property Sex sites are listed there. I dont have an answer to how this is all inter-related, but if you want to join Property Sex you may want to dig around a bit on TBP as there may be a better way to do it. Confused? Me too.
A membership here comes with three other channels. There is Property Sex VR (with just three scenes, updates can be months apart), Eurosensual by VixenX (121 scenes, not updating) and Perverted P.I. (eight scenes, last update more than a month ago). Eurosensual looks like it could be exclusive but given the availability of licenced Euro porn thats just a guess. Perverted P.I. has some promise and I hope the site is supported and added to. Private Investigator-themed porn has lots of possibilities.
The site (network?) is well laid out and it is generally easy to navigate and find what youre looking for with one glaring exception. On the main pages where there are 15 scenes listed per page with thumbnails you get the scene name, the upload date and the channel it belongs to. One key piece of information you dont get is who the star is. To get that you need to open the link. Maybe Im wrong here, but it seems to me that the star name is something that most members want to have more easily available.
The site bills through Epoch so you can take comfort when joining that your card is safe and cancelling will be easy. I used a download manager with no problems and had no issues with links timing out. I didnt hit any download limits and downloads didnt seem throttled at any time.
Joining through TBP gives a discount and that makes this a really good value. Whether you like themed or scenario-based porn or not this site offers a lot of really hot stars having hot sex in exclusive scenes. The fun property theme just adds to that. I recommend taking a look. |

Pros: |
- Large site that continues to grow
- Part of the Kink.com family of sites
- Excellent value for the price (it is worth every dime)
- Updates weekly with one scene added
- Many well-known American and European stars
- Some lesser known models
- Beautiful models
- Innovative site
- Unique site, in the true sense of that word
- 186 shoots as of this writing
- Picture available (singles and zips) |
Cons: |
- Photo zips are not of the full set (you need to download several zips to get the full shoot) |
Bottom Line: |
Yes, I know this is my fourth review of this site but Ill try to keep it interesting and informative.
Its tough to compare PD to anything else on the internet. It seems to be in a class by itself. The same can be said for many Kink sites. They take a common BDSM niche and add a wrinkle to it that makes it more interesting. And they add in production values that are among the best in the business (I think they are the best, but I dont want to bait a reader for an argument).
As I write this there are 186 scenes posted with another one due today or tomorrow. One scene is added each week. The format is unchanged: the scenes can be roughly divided into two classes, those shot in the U.S. and those shot in Europe. The scenes shot in Europe really push the limits of public nudity, and I dont mean that in a negative sense. With some European countries not having the same hang-ups about nudity that we prudish North Americans do there is always a segment of the scene where the model is exposed, used and abused in a very public environment. One of the elements that, for me, makes public nudity alluring is seeing the publics reaction. Sites that edit that out, or make the nudity seem commonplace lose, in my opinion, all the heat. That isnt the case with PDs European shoots. Even though these scenes are shot in places where public nudity doesnt have passersby running to the nearest policeman or priest, PD is able to get the heat level up and keep it up. One of the usual reactions, which I think adds to the heat, is that people pull out their cellphones and start taking pictures. Maybe Im weird (okay, thats almost certain) but that adds a lot to the realism and heat in these scenes.
The U.S. scenes used to be mostly shot in Kinks location in San Francisco. These are hot too, but the public element comes from bringing the public in to the Armories where the environment is controlled rather than taking the model out to the public. This is obviously safer, but in the past while Kink has become more daring in their American shoots. They arent public in the same sense as the European scenes, but they are occur in more public spaces like bars and sex shops where access can be controlled. There are some truly public shoots, such as a scene shot partially at the Folsom Street Fair which probably pushes the limits for American tolerance.
PD has a great variety of models. Youd expect given the nature of the site that it would have mostly fetish models who are known for this kind of work, but there are a number of U.S. and European porn stars who make an appearance too. (The scene with Jada Stevens in a gas station is worth the membership fee itself) Im not too sure about some of the European models as I dont follow many of them, but Im assuming that many of them are popular porn stars. One constant is even though there is a variety of body types among the models they are all beautiful. I suspect that PD is able to attract well-known and beautiful models is in no small part a testament to Kinks reputation for quality.
One possible downside for some people (though I dont list this as a con since it is so subjective) is that the male talent tends to be the same in each scene. Thats no issue for me, but if you happen to not like Steve Holmes, Mark Davis or James Deen then this may detract from the site.
Being a Kink site, the technical stuff is well done. Each scene offers a trailer, photos and video. Video is available as a stream or downloadable as a WMV (HD), WMV, MP4 (HD) and in sizes for mobile devices. I downloaded the WMV HD scenes and they come in at 1280x720 at 7200kb/s and 30fps. Theyre in Codec 9. Subjectively they look great.
The photos are available in two resolutions (800x533 and 1200x800). Theyre available as singles or zipped. The one thing that I think Kink could do better is offer the entire series of photos as a single zip. Im not sure why, but they break the scene into sub-scenes and offer zips of each of those. I have no issue with that (though I dont understand why they do it) but they should offer the full set as one zip too.
The subjects of degradation and humiliation come up on the forums and in comments here a lot and tend to be almost universally panned by PU members. For people who like BDSM and know Kink.com, this isnt news, but for those who dont know them, this is BDSM done right. People like Max Hardcore and the lads at Facial Abuse degrade and humiliate women for their own pleasure. Kink, including PD, degrade and humiliate women for the womans pleasure and their pleasure is obvious whether a non-submissive understands that or not.
The bottom line is that PD isnt for everyone, but if you like BDSM in a public environment this is pretty much your only option. The good news is that even though PD is in a class of one, the site is excellent and is an excellent value. I highly recommend a membership. |

|
Pros: |
- Part of the Kink.com network
- Approximately 140 scenes available
- Updates weekly
- Good mix of scenarios
- Videos available in a variety of formats and sizes
- Pictures (with zips) available
- Unique Im not aware of another site like it on the net
- Excellent value for price |
Cons: |
- As with the last time I reviewed this, there are no negatives. If you have an interest in this niche (BDSM and public nudity), then this site is sure to satisfy. |
Bottom Line: |
Public Disgrace is one of the Kink sites that I join regularly. Like the other sites in the network, this one has a fairly unique niche. Like other Kink sites, the folks at PD really have an excellent product.
Ive re-read my past two reviews and what I wrote continues to be valid. The biggest change is that the site is getting bigger by the week. They are now up to approximately 140 videos, most of which are about an hour long,
The basic formula remains unchanged since the site first opened: they combine some pretty intense BDSM (with a lot of humiliation, which is a sub-genre in BDSM) with public nudity and sex. The two broad categories that I said existed are still there: scenes shot in the U.S. (mostly) in the Kink Armories and scenes shot in Europe. The scenes shot in Europe are far more daring (obviously due to a more relaxed environment re public nudity) involving bondage and nudity actually out in public in front of regular people going about their business. The scenes shot in the U.S. still involve public humiliation but it is done in a more controlled setting with a group of people who obviously are in on the whole thing. Having said that though, there have been several U.S. scenes posted since my last review that really push the envelope. There are no scenes that compare to those shot in Europe for full outdoor public nudity, but there are some scenes that push the limits.
Regardless of where the scenes are shot, the underlying formula is unchanged: take a model, put her in bondage in some public setting and add in a heavy dose of humiliation. That takes up the first half of the scene, and then the model is bound and fucked. While that may sound like a recipe for all the shoots to look the same, the site does an excellent job of keeping the scenarios fresh and interesting.
As with all Kink sites, the scenes are available in a variety of formats and sizes to keep everyone happy. There are both HD and SD wmv files, an HD mp4 and a format for IPods. You can download the entire scene as one file in the listed formats, or you can download it in segments. Pictures are also available individually or as a zipped set.
Ive said before that Public Disgrace is an excellent value, and it continues to be, especially now that the site has grown. The site continues to update weekly. To make the site a better value, register as a Kink.com member (free) and get on their mailing list. They regularly email special offers and deals on this and other Kink sites.
The bottom line remains the same: this is an excellent site if you have an interest in this very specialized genre.
(Some may quibble with the 99 score, but I stand by it. The scoring guide recommends scores in the 90s for sites that are near perfect, best in its class. Highly recommended. That is definitely the case here.) |

Pros: |
- Kink.com is among the best (if not the best) BDSM provider on the internet
- Very user-friendly easy to navigate and download
- Part of a larger network of BDSM sites
- All exclusive videos
- A mix of settings (some outdoors in Europe and some inside at Kinks Armories
- Excellent value for the monthly fee
- Very unique content. Im not aware of any other content quite like this on the web
- Discount access to other sites on the network
- Excellent customer service
- Regular updates |
Cons: |
None. I mean that. In my last review of this site it was just new and didnt have a lot of scenes up. Now there are in excess of 90 with more being added regularly. |
Bottom Line: |
Its certainly no secret to anyone who has read any of my other reviews of sites on the Kink.com network, but Im a huge fan of this company. Obviously its essential that Im a fan of BDSM too, and for anyone who is, Kink.com offers the best BDSM sites available.
When I last reviewed Public Disgrace it was a relatively new site to the network that catered to a very unique niche: BDSM and BDSM-related activities outdoors and indoors in public settings. As the site has grown it has continued to serve this niche and serve it very well.
The niche, as you can tell from past reviews, puts a woman in a BDSM situation, with various forms of bondage and discipline, and brings her into public. In my opinion, the site can be divided into two broad but distinct categories: public outdoor with real public looking on, and public but in a controlled environment. The site is relatively equally divided between these two sub-niches.
The public outdoor scenes are very unique. They are shot in Europe, where the religious right obviously hold little influence. A woman in some form of bondage may be made to walk in a public square with her arms bound and her skirt around her ankles. Or perhaps on a bus. Sex is often included, but not normally right out in public, though it is outdoors and the public is nearby. These scenes are very unique and very interesting, though sometimes I can feel a little uncomfortable for the public who happen by.
The second broad sub-niche are scenes filmed in some setting like a bookstore, a bar or a hardware store. These seem to be a bit more staged than the real public ones, and part of that feeling comes from the ability to control access. The result is that there is usually more sex involved. This sub-niche also includes scenes shot at the Kink.com Armories in San Francisco. These scenes are more like a BDSM gangbang. Both of these types of scenes are very well done and are also interesting.
On the technical side, the site offers video in various formats and scenes that are downloadable in segments or as a whole. There are pictures, and zips are available.
For a site with this amount of very unique photos and videos, the price offers excellent value. Once youre a member of any of the Kink.com sites you can get discounted access to the others. While some sites, like Society SM and their related sites, now offer five sites with one membership, I cant fault Kink.com for not doing this. The sites within Kink.com are all unique and are easily able to stand on their own.
Public disgrace is an amazing site offered by a company that obviously cares about its product and customers. I highly recommend taking a membership. |

Pros: |
- Kink hits another home run.
- Very unique videos if you're into bondage and voyeurism together.
- Videos, sound, locations, models are all up to Kink's usual standards (which is to say excellent)
- Download speeds are decent. |
Cons: |
- Site is small as it just opened (as of the date I'm writing this).
Given it's current size the price is a bit high. |
Bottom Line: |
Kink has knocked another one out of the park.
Just for the benefit of those who dont know Kinks work, they are a BDSM-themed group with a number of sites. Because of the twists that they add to the BDSM theme the sites tend to be very innovative, like Fucking Machines or Water Bondage. The tone of the videos isnt demeaning though like you get with Max Hardcore or some of the stuff from Sweet Entertainment Group. Kink goes out of its way to make it clear that this is all consensual, but they also do that in a way that doesnt interfere with the overall fantasy of the scene.
Public Disgrace is the newest addition to the Kink stable. The theme is public humiliation, public bondage and public sex. If that is something that youre interested in, this site warrants a look. As of today (October 7, 2008) there are only nine videos posted. While that doesnt seem like a lot you have to consider the production values of those nine scenes. Kinks standards are second to none in the industry. Consider that Kink bought and uses a huge old armory in San Francisco. They take their business seriously.
As it stands now with the nine available videos, they can be classed into two distinct types. There are the videos shot (apparently) in Eastern Europe using Eastern European models on public streets, buses, etc, and then there are the videos shot in Kinks armory in San Francisco. Obviously the American authorities would be less likely to turn a blind eye to a bound girl walking naked down the street, so the public element in the American videos means bringing in a bunch of guys to have their way with a bound woman. I know this sounds like just a gangbang, but adding bondage adds a whole new and unique element. (Check out Sarah Jane Ceylons video for proof of that)
As for the Eastern European videos that are truly public, I find that there is a bit of a cringe factor. I have no idea how many of the people watching are warned, but I suspect that Kink does go to some effort to make sure that no minors are around and that no one who doesnt want to be exposed to this is exposed. There is a bus scene with Valentina Blue that has to have the cooperation and consent of everyone on the bus. If Kink does get those permissions they keep them hidden so as not to spoil the public fantasy.
Price will be an issue, and I agree with that. Right now the price seems high for only having nine videos available. (Im assuming that Kink will follow its normal weekly update schedule.) I cant argue with someone who says that the price is too high right now, but I can add this: if you like this kind of material, you will not find better on the net. If you have only a passing interest in this, then the value may not be there. If, like me, you have an interest in this, the value is there even with only nine videos right now.
Overall this is an excellent site that will undoubtedly get larger over time. |

Public Expose

Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- $5.95 2-day trial membership with no restrictions
- Bills through CCBill
- Approximately 120 videos
- Multiple video download options
- Some attractive models
- Supports download managers |
Cons: |
- Mediocre quality videos
- Videos are all short duration
- Very small photo sets
- No photo zips available
- Small site
- Not part of any network to improve value
- No known models (to me, anyway)
- No updates since January 2010 |
Bottom Line: |
Im a big fan of public nudity and Im always looking for sites with good material. Unfortunately, Public Expose isnt one of the better ones Ive seen. Its small, with only about 120 videos. The TBP review says that there are 148 videos, and it is correct that there are 148 videos on the site, but for some reason, there are many duplicate videos that even use the same name. There are approximately 120 unique videos here.
Having access to 120 public nudity videos shouldnt be anything to complain about, but these videos are all quite short. They range in length from under one minute to just over five minutes. Most of the videos follow the same format in that an Eastern European woman is seen in some sort of an outdoor setting (fully dressed) and she flashes for the camera. If full nudity exists on this site, Ive yet to see it. There are several scenes of two women flashing and making out a bit.
This may be subjective, but I found the scenes to be almost un-erotic: the models are mostly shy about flashing and many of the shoots are simply outdoors near other people. When I contrast some of the Eastern European public shoots available on ALS Scan and Public Disgrace, those on Public Expose come off looking pretty shabby. Certainly the women on Public Expose arent bad looking, but they arent great either. I dont follow many Eastern European models, but I still didnt recognize any of them.
Technically, the site was probably average when it was started several years ago, but it is well below what the average porn customer would expect today. Video resolution is quite low. It varies depending on which type of file you want and ranges from a low of 320x240 for a very low-res mpeg4 to high of 720x540 (at 128kb/s) for a DivX avi file. I downloaded the DivX files simply assuming that since they were the largest theyd give the best quality, but if this is the best, it isnt very good.
There are photos available, but the photo sets are very small less than two dozen pics in some cases. That may be good news, though, when you learn that there is no zip option available.
If there is any good news about this site, its that they have a full trial available for just $5.95. Given that there are only 120-ish small videos on the site anyone with a half-decent internet connection can download every video in the five day trial period. And further taking from the value is that the site hasnt updated in over a year.
Unless youre a huge fan of public nudity and want to add this notch to your belt, Id avoid it. It isnt a bad value at the trial price if you go in with your eyes open and realize that you dont get much for that fee. Just remember to cancel your membership before the trial ends. |

|
Pros: |
- Among the best in the niche
- Mostly amateurs with a few well-known porn stars
- Updates regularly
- Exclusive content with U.S. flashing
- Some European flashing (which likely isnt exclusive)
- Wide variety of body types, from full-figured, to large-breasted to petite
- Some variation in race and age, though most are younger white models
- Two options for file size
- Currently 105 full scenes
- Pictures available
- Excellent value for price ($14.95 USD per month) |
Cons: |
- Videos broken down into smaller segments
- No option to download complete videos
- Some models are a bit too tame
- Highest resolution video isnt up current standards (the best is now 1280x720 which compares well to the older videos at 630x470)
- Pictures not available in zip format
- Picture resolution is average (1024x768)
- Site isnt well organized |
Bottom Line: |
Im a big fan of public flashing and nudity and there are few sites that do it like I like it. There are sites that offer European public nudity that offer more videos and are better organized, and there are sites that have American public nudity that are more risqu (Nude in L.A. comes to mind). This is a personal opinion, but those sites lack or dont show the models being nervous and excited at the same time. Those sites treat public nudity as being an everyday occurrence. Not so with Public Flash. This site has a bit of a corny set-up for each and then moves into various open or public venues. Panties and bras are slipped off and then the model walks through various locations and flashes. Full nudity happens, but is rare. This may sound simple, and it is, but for fans of public flashing and nudity this is a site worth looking at.
As for the models, there is a decent variety. Most fit the typical porn mold by being young (18-25) white and petite. But there are some models who are fuller-figured, larger-breasted, older or different skin tones. Most of the models are amateurs (or at least that I havent seen before) but there are a few big name porn stars who appear, presumably early in their careers. This includes Aubrey Addams, Amber Rayne and Faye Runaway.
The site, like the models, is fairly amateur. Searching isnt really an option, but since each segment has a big thumbnail you can see whether that model might be to your liking on the main page before you click the link. My biggest complaint is that there are no full length videos: each of the scenes is divided up into smaller segments. I realize why they do this for updating purposes, but once all the segments are posted I wish theyd offer a link for the full video.
The videos are offered in two resolutions, but only in wmv format. The best format isnt bad, but it isnt HD. The current best is 1280x720, though older videos haven't been updated and are still at 630x470. There are pictures available too, but they are not available in a zip format for easy capture.
Updates are fairly regular appearing every few days but each update is only two segments of the full video. It takes a couple of weeks for an entire video to be posted.
Still, for all the flaws, Im willing to cut this site some slack. I may be wrong, but I suspect that this is one of the hardest niches to work in due to the risk. This isnt filming sex in the back of a panel van or on a set in someones living room: these scenes put the models and crew at some legal risk in our Puritanical culture. The outcome is some fun video to watch as nervous young women flash in public.
This site offers decent value for the monthly fee if you like this niche. |

|
Pros: |
- Excellent quality scenes
- Appears to be all exclusive
- Download options
- Supports download managers
- Updates weekly
- TBP discount |
Cons: |
- Very small site
- Relatively tame for this niche
- Grossly misleading tour page
- Big gap between HD and hi res |
Bottom Line: |
I know not everyone will agree with me on this, but I think that small porn sites can still offer good value. I regularly join mega sites and like those, but I also like joining new niche sites to see what they have and support the site owners who have taken a risk and opened a new site. This is a niche I like so it seemed like a good fit and the TBP discount coupled with a reputable biller took a lot of the risk out of the equation.
Ill address the gorilla in the room that often occurs with new sites: this one is still very small with just seven scenes currently available. A new scene is added once a week so it will be a long time growing too. I realize that for many people having a site this small would be an instant deal breaker and Id agree with that if the site aimed at the middle of the porn market. But its different, or at least should be, with niche sites. Unfortunately the site missed the target on the niche and created their Achilles heel.
The problem with the scenes is that they fall on the tame side for this niche. The reason I think that is a problem is that with a name like Punish Teens they are not likely to get artcore buyers interested and for fans of this niche these are about the most tame Ive seen. This isn't Kink or Society SM (and I realize that this site doesnt market itself as a BDSM site) but it is likely that a prospective member would expect more than the light bondage and D/s play found here. These teens aren't really being punished as much as theyre being mildly reprimanded.
The scenes themselves have high production values and appear to be exclusive. Six of the scenes have American models while one appears to be Russian or eastern European. The lighting and editing are top level.
The site itself is simple and effective, but with seven scenes why would be it be anything else? The main page has a large photo taken from the scenes and the options for streaming or downloading are all right there. There are several download options: MP4s are available in 1920x1080 at 10,000kb/s, 960x540 at 2500kb/s and 640x360 at 700kb/s. One WMV is available at 960x540 at 2500kb/s. This may be a bit nit-picky, but there is too big a gap between the highest resolution and the next highest. Im not normally one to criticize having options, but it seems to me that they would do well to offer a 1280x720 option to bridge that wide gap.
Photos are also available (photos and screencaps) as singles or zips. The photos are 1350x900 and they look okay but photo collectors aren't likely to be overly impressed by those specs.
One thing that does deserve a comment is that the tour page is grossly misleading. A prospective member sees 42 thumbnails on the main page which would seem to indicate that there are 42 or more scenes inside. I read the TBP page so I was aware that this was misleading and didnt have a nasty surprise when I joined. Further, the site uses the annoying tactic of sending you to the join page wherever you click. There is no tour that might better reflect the true size of the site.
I used a download manager and had no problems with it. I didnt encounter any download limits but that isn't a conclusive answer since I downloaded all seven scenes in HD and that was only 15GB of data.
This is purely subjective and I wont factor it into the score, but there is only one anal scene here. Anal sex is common in this niche (apparently its an effective way to punish a teen) but not here. This should be another indicator that this site leans to the softer side of this niche.
The biggest dilemma for me is whether or not Id recommend this site. On one hand I like to support new sites and they do have some high quality porn here. But on the other hand the site is still very small. Size alone wouldnt be an impediment to my recommending the site since it is a niche site, but the real deal-breaker is that the scenes miss their target. I think theyre too hard to attract the artcore, couples-oriented buyer but they aren't hard enough to keep members like me coming back. As much as Id like to recommend the site I cant because they missed the target by a wide margin. |

|
Pros: |
- Affiliated with Metro studio
- Looks to be exclusive scenes
- Good production values
- Streaming resolution options
- Some photos available |
Cons: |
- Small site
- No longer updating
- Streaming only
- Doesnt live up to its name |
Bottom Line: |
Weve all been there: you buy a porn membership that based on the TBP/PU reviews and information you just know you shouldnt buy. Thats what happened to me with Push Her Limits (PHL). In fairness to PHL, it isn't that the site or the scenes are bad; its more that the site died on the vine before it could become something better.
Id normally lead off a review with the positive things that a site has to offer but thats harder than usual here since there really isn't much that is positive. The porn offered here does appear to be exclusive and it does feature several top models. Its also affiliated with a major studio (Metro) so the production values are good. This isn't an amateur site with poor lighting and bad editing.
Given the name of the site it should be no surprise that the site features rough sex. Most of the scenes have an element of force or coercion in them too. I realize that this kind of porn isn't for everyone but this is one of the many serious flaws that the site suffers from: the force/coercion scenario is too much to attract people who dont like that kind of porn and its too mild to attract those who do like it. The site aims for the middle and doesnt really hit any target. If you want porn that doesnt play on the force/coercion theme we could all name dozens of great sites. Likewise, if asked for recommendations for good force/coercion fantasy porn many of us could recommend some great sites. But PHL isn't one of those.
The scenes follow a pattern that is common with this theme. The scene usually starts with an interview to make it clear that the model knows that the scene is rough and we see that she fully and explicitly consents to this. The scene itself follows a pattern where the model is captured or in some way vulnerable and is taken advantage of by the male talent. The scenes then conclude with an interview with both the male and female talent together where they talk about the scene.
The scenes themselves aren't bad. In fact, they are pretty good porn that is better described as on the edge of mainstream. The theme itself could be better used by throwing in some anal (there is none that I found) and maybe multiple men on one or two women. The force/coercion fantasy can be so much more than one-on-one sex.
Now on to the 800 lb. gorilla in the room; or, more accurately, the pair of gorillas. First, the site is streaming only. I know that isn't a deal-breaker for many people because thats how they want to access their porn but I suspect that for the serious collectors who make up the active members at PU that is a deal-breaker. We collect porn and you cant do that unless we are able to download it. The second gorilla is the real flaw in the site: it has only 11 scenes and hasnt updated since May 2016. To make matters worse, there is no discounted TPB price so that means that each of these scenes will cost you close to $3 if you view all of them. As a collector, I dont mind paying those prices for great porn, but the value proposition for PHL just isn't there.
While the site is streaming only it is worth noting that there are three resolutions available. The scenes stream in 300p, 720p and 1080p.
The site also offers photos but there are only a few dozen per scene and they aren't available as a zip.
I could be a sarcastic and point out that the site is reasonably well done and is laid out logically, but with only 11 scenes on offer how could it be otherwise?
The bottom line wont be a surprise to anyone who has read this review: unless there is a very compelling reason for you to join this site it is better left alone. For both the casual porn user and the serious porn collector this site offers very little and does that at a high price. Unlike me, be sure to spend your porn dollars more carefully. |

Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- Lots of interaction with the models
- Most of the models seem to enjoy the sessions
- Large number of models online at any time, 24/7
- Broad range of ethnicities, age and body type available
- Free membership that can be cancelled at any time
- Ability to earn rewards that can be used for discounts
- Uses Epoch for billing
- Owned by our friends at Rabbits Reviews |
Cons: |
- Can be addictive (and expensive!)
- Some models constantly ask for tips (not many though)
- Determining the rates is not always easy
- Some models have limited English skills |
Bottom Line: |
I never thought I’d see the day where I would sample a cam site! Part of it, for me at least, was that I rarely had any time to explore this niche in the adult industry. Thanks to the pandemic, I’ve been working from home and it has given me some leeway to sample a bit of this.
I think it is fair to say that an advantage I bring to writing site reviews for “traditional” adult sites is that I have a lot of experience with those. I have been subscribing to porn sites for over 30 years. That gives me something to benchmark a site against. I don’t have that level of experience with cam sites.
For the uninitiated like me, cam sites are a popular way to have safe sexual interaction with women from around the world. Rabbits Cams is a large site with thousands of models online at seemingly any time you want to chat. No matter what time of day or what day of the week I checked the site there always seem to be a lot of activity. A bonus for us here at PU is that the site is owned by our friends at Rabbits Reviews so we’re helping them out even while we’re having fun.
As with so many other adult sites, there is a broad range of models. It’s fair to say that the range here is even broader. Just about any age group, ethnicity or body type is available to interact with. Most of the models range between 20 and 40 years old, though there are some who are older.
When you click on a model, you see rates for a private session. If there is something you want her to do, you should ask her before you go private. Some end the session if you request something she does not like to do or even hear about. Others can join in a private session.
Gold shows are for a fixed time and a requested minimum. These are pretty much an introduction to the model, but sometimes they will do as you ask for extra tips. Some models get pushy with asking for tips, so don’t be surprised. Most shows are five minutes or under but are only about three dollars.
Some models offer a block price, where you can book, for example, 15 minutes at a 5% discounted rate. If you go exclusive, the rate is generally a lot higher. Many models do exclusive with cam to cam so you can cum along with her. She sees you and what you are doing while you see her and what she is doing. Tags can be added by members after a show ends.
A third option is to use a gold menu. This is a list of specific things she will do for a specific price. An example would be show breasts for $5. Some, but not many models offer a fan club, which has discounts and special offers for members. You can and should save models as favorites. With thousands of models available, this is a big help.
Models are from all around the world, but the countries with the biggest representation are the US, the UK, the Philippines, Colombia and Spain. A problem with many cam models is that their English is not great. Some use a cell phone or tablet to help with translation, but during a show don’t expect much chatting.
Some of the most interesting models are porn stars. There are 217 listed but only a few at any one time. There are some current stars, such as Ani Black Fox, Jynx Maze and Roxy Rae. One thing I really liked seeing was that there are many stars who have retired from mainstream work that participate here. Dana DeArmond, Sarah Shevon, Tera Patrick, Nina Hartley, Mary Carey, Eva Angelina, Lexi Belle, Christy Canyon and Amber Lynn all make appearances.
Porn stars are generally $10 per minute and many are a LOT more. It is easy to spend $100, $200 or even much more. Some porn stars have a minimum.
There is no way to sort by price for Gold Shows, Private or Exclusive sessions. You find out the prices when you enter the model’s room. Some models have rates as low as 49 cents a minute and most are under $3 per minute. Models that offer BDSM, sex shows or lesbian ones, role play or insertions etc. charge a lot more. Some models put on a great session and are inexpensive and some that cost multiples of the others’ rates are not as interesting. The cheaper rates are generally newer models, who don’t yet have a following.
Most models use HD, but quite a few do not. You can sort by HD shows.
There are some men who have shows and there are even some TS models. Most of the men appear to be geared towards a gay audience.
The site offers rewards for you to use to pay for time with the models, or for photos or videos on sale.
As a newbie to cam sites, it was better than I expected. I went in with a low expectation and was surprised at the high level of interaction that was available with the models. Obviously, this isn’t like a regular adult site so you do have to exercise some self-control when it comes to spending for additional services. It’s easy to get addicted and the urge to spend more is obviously hard to resist. Used in moderation, this can be a good way to enjoy online fun. |

Pros: |
- Part of the Mofo Network (10 sites in total on the network)
- Approximately 80 scenes
- Scenes are lengthy (most around an hour)
- Multiple download options (HD, SD and mobile)
- 2 levels of HD available 1080p and 720p)
- Streaming available
- Some amazing looking girls
- Better than average download speeds
- Discount through TBP
- Updates weekly
- Interesting mix of known porn girls and lesser-known models
- Photos available
- Download managers work
- Lots of fun to watch |
Cons: |
- As with most party sites, most of the guys are annoying (but not as bad as with other sites)
- Hand-held camera can be a bit shaky in some scenes |
Bottom Line: |
It goes without saying, obviously, that a large part of satisfaction in a site is subjective. If a site does all the technical bits well, it isnt going to matter too much if you just dont like the theme of the site. So having stated that, I really like party sites like these, and this is one of the better ones Ive joined.
The site is probably big enough to be a decent value on its own, but it is part of a bigger network. This specific site has about 80 videos posted and each of those is about an hour long. Each of the scenes has a unique setup that is actually interesting to watch. I didnt find myself constantly skipping ahead to the sex. There is a mix of indoor and outdoor video shoots, with the outdoor scenes usually being shot by a pool so there are lots of skimpy bikinis around. The first half of the video is taken up with the set-up and the second half is the sex.
The lighting is usually very good the outdoor scenes arent washed out and the indoor scenes are mostly lit properly. The camera work is better than average for these kinds of sites. Adding to the professional look of the scenes is the fact that this obviously isnt a group of self-centered guys who decided to make a porn site the director always makes sure that the girls are the focus of the attention.
This site, and the Mofo network generally, have the technical bits right: all the scenes are available in three different sizes. The HD is available in 1080p and 720p (and they look great!), the SD video is available in MPEG4, MPEG and WMV. And theres also an option for mobile users. I didnt list this as a con above, but given the length of these videos the files sizes are huge. Some top out at over 5GB for the 1080p. There are photos available too, with zips as an option
Another possible issue for some people is that there is very little variation on the type of model in each scene. If your tastes are like mine this is no issue here because the overwhelming majority of the models are petite and young. I dont think there are any black or ethnic models, and no one over 25 either. But if youre a fan of models like Tanner Mayes and Micah Moore and girls who have that body type, youll certainly like the girls here.
This site alone is a good enough value to justify the membership, especially when you join through TBP/PU and get the discount. But there are nine other sites (including a MILF site and a gangbang site) that only increase the value of the membership. If you like watching petite young lasses party and enjoy themselves, then this is a site definitely worth checking out. |

Bottom Line: |
Ive got mixed feelings about this network. On one hand, its large, with over 1800 scenes spread over 37 sites covering the usual porn niches of teens, cougars, lesbians, MILFs (if those differ from cougars I dont know), big dicks and interracial. They also have some relatively rare sites with group sex in a party setting. Probably the only major site niche theyre missing is anal, but I promise I didnt let that glaring oversight affect my score or review. Another advantage to this network is that it does offer exclusive scenes with some of the best known porn models. If youre looking to add new scenes of your favourite starlets you should consider a membership here.
On the other hand, updates are few and far between for such a large network, and many of the sites dont update at all. Because the scenes arent dated in any usable way I cant really provide more definitive information, but it appears that only ten sites are regularly updating, with another four that may be occasionally updating. By regularly updating though, I dont mean that it is regular as in a set schedule. As of the date of this review the last update was nine days ago. The network updates by adding one scene to the network at a time. So if you join the network for a specific site you may find that site doesnt update or doesnt post an update for the month youre there.
As porn, this is just standard-fare stuff. That isnt meant to be an accolade or a criticism, it is a simple fact. On most of the sites the porn looks just like the porn on other similar networks. The production values are up to normal standards. The networks production values dont fail it, but neither do they set it apart.
The networks main page shows you the most recent six updates. This is the only place where there is an upload date associated with a scene. From there you can go into the individual sites or search for pornstars. I didnt find the search function to be especially useful, but there is a pull-down menu of tags and that works well. Be advised that the tag menu works on individual sites too, so if you have the After Class Adventures site up and use the anal tag it will sort just that site by anal. Using the search function to do that will give all the anal scenes on the network even though youre just on one site.
Opening a scene brings you to a separate page. My biggest complaint is that the scene starts downloading the streaming video immediately and automatically. I find this to be a big bandwidth hog that I dont want. To the networks credit though, the scene doesnt start to play automatically. At this page you can stream or download the video. Ive criticized sites in past reviews for only offering mp4s since I prefer WMVs, so its only fair that I criticize this network for only offering WMVs. Customers should have a choice.
An issue with the downloaded scenes is that they are only available in one resolution. In some cases, presumably with older uploads (remember, no date info is available) the resolution is 320x240 at 906kb/s. These are almost unwatchable by 2012 standards. Newer files come in at 1280x720 at 3100kb/s. Both resolutions play at 30fps and are in WMV 9. The site really needs to remaster their older stuff and offer a lower resolution option for people who dont have the bandwidth to download a large file. Apart from the lowest resolution scenes, they look good.
In a comment from last year, insomniacxxx stated that some scenes labeled as HD arent. This is still true, but it may be that he and I noticed this on the same scenes. I saw some 320x240 scenes that had the HD logo.
Photos are available for most scenes, as singles and zips. The resolution isnt bad, but not great, at 945x630.
The network allows download managers and I had download speeds comparable to similar sites.
The site bills internally and doesnt use a third-party biller.
So would I recommend this site? Without a doubt I definitely would, but Id make sure that a prospective member realized that it isnt perfect. A member gets access to a lot of good porn for an excellent price using the TBP/PU discount. I realize this isnt a glowing review, but it is a decent site that could see some improvements. |
