Pros:
+ 345 scenes of exclusive interracial porn
+ All scenes have vids in 1080 HD and pic zips
+ Good download speeds for me (5mb/sec)
+ Good selection of video download options
+ Pic sizes are 2000x3000 pixels
+ Top end production values
+ Mostly top female talent and the focus in on the women
+ Grabbed this membership on a $10 per month TBP holiday special
+ No download limits that I could tell
Cons:
- Only updates 1x per week
- Canceling membership is a pain in the butt
- Prechecked cross sale on signup
- Site doesn't play well with Firefox browser
- No model information
- Tags are pretty generic and don't allow for much of a search
- Site would be better with a network
- Scenes are repetitive in how they're shot and edited
- Fewer photos in the more recent photo sets
- Pagination issues (manually type in page you want to jump to)
Bottom Line:
I took a stab at this interracial site based on the holiday price that was offered a while back. While I can't say I was disappointed I can't say that I was blown away either.
The production values are top end with great lighting and video. I was glad to see that unlike other interracial sites that have a lot of talking during the scenes by the male talent this one is more subdued, focusing on the white lonely housewife or the come of age girl wanting to explore the black side. Most of the talent here is A and B list variety and surprisingly doesn't feature a ton of tattoos on the women (the dudes are another story). Most of the women are generally in the 18-25 range and quite attractive without too much enhancement.
There is some anal and a few DP scenes but it's mostly straight M/F sex with more of an emphasis on the girls enjoyment (I'd call this midcore porn as opposed to the heartcore or really hardcore stuff). So you don't get the relentless pounding or the screaming and/or dirty talk all the time which is good.
The main problem is that the scenes get repetitive real quick. The same general scene set up with the same positions and camera angles. Pretty much every scene is shot in a high end bedroom. The scene build ups are pretty short too, not gonzo but not far off either. While there is a lot of good quality stuff it sort of wears on you after a while.
Here's some more technical info:
PICS: All scenes have pics with zips and all photos are 2000x3000. The production value is top end. Very little stripping or scene build up in the pics, usually a few pose shots then it's straight into the action. The earlier photo sets generally have a few hundred pics while the newest material only has around a hundred pics. As is usual, there is generally more action / positions shown in the video than on the pics. You can also view the pics in browser and can explode them up to full size.
VIDS: The got all the bases covered here, you can download from 4k on most pics all the way down to 270 for watching on your phone with about 6 total size options. All of the sizes looked good on my screen and had good stream rates. While I almost never watch porn on my phone I did view a few vids this time and found it streamed really well and I had no navigation issues at all. The in-browser stream function worked really well with limited buffering. The vids from the last few years also have jump indicators on the time bar where you can jump to specific types of action. Download speeds were good for me at around 5mb/sec on a consistent basis.
NAVIGATION & SITE FEEL: I had problems getting scenes to download using Mozilla. I switched to Chrome and had no problems afterward.
There is a model directory but pretty much zero model info. Most of the talent here is A and B list variety and surprisingly doesn't feature a ton of tattoos on the women (the dudes are another story). Most of the women are generally in the 18-25 range and quite attractive without too much enhancement.
Pagination is an issue here as is the search function because of limited tagging.
There is some advertising on every page and an annoying “Notification” icon which merely tells you that they have a new update and can't seemed to be cleared or turned off.
You get standard prechecked cross sale on signup. The biller here is Rocketgate which I don't recall using before. My main beef with them is that you have to email, live chat, or telephone to cancel your membership. I tried canceling by email several times to no response and no success and then spent 15 minutes on live chat to accomplish the deed.
Overall, I have to say it was a pretty good site. It would be a lot better if the operators combined some or all of their sites into a network (they also run Blackedraw, Tushy and a few others). While the production value is great it just sort of left me feeling a bit ho-hum at the end of the day because of the repetitive nature of the scenes and probably because I like my sites a tad more hardcore than what they do. I echo what Exotics4me said in his review in that those who are newer to porn will probably really like this site given the production while those who know what appeals to them may be left wanting a bit. Still, it is on of the top interracial sites in my book and would recommend taking it for a spin for a month or so.

Pros:
+ 8,000 exclusive porn scenes with updates 2x per day across 33 sites (only 17 currently update).
+ A wide variety of porn from teens to milfs, almost all hardcore, featuring most every US porn star you know.
+ 1080 sized vids going back to 2010.
+ Decent navigation though the site is a bit plain by today's standards.
+ In browser video streams are fast and smooth and the scenes have tags where you can jump to the type of action you want.
+ Good sized pics (2500x1660) going back to 2009 and a lot of them (about 500 per scene). All pic sets have zips.
+ Most scenes supply some sort of story line as opposed to the usual gonzo offerings of most sites.
+ Discounts through TBP (I got a $10 per month holiday deal).
+ No DRM or download limits.
+ Professional production standards for most all scenes.
Cons:
- Prechecked cross sale on signup that's not entirely obvious (look at the top of signup page in a separately colored box).
- Uses Probiller for billing which isn't great on support.
- Lots of ads throughout the site.
- Slow downloads at times (don't use Firefox on this site).
- Lots of tats, botox and cosmetic surgery on the talent.
- A lot of overlap on the sites, no real distinction between most of them.
- Pics are basically HD screen shots from the videos so the quality is sometimes iffy.
Bottom Line:
As most everyone knows, Brazzers is a classic hardcore mega porn site that offers something for most everyone at a decent price. The emphasis here leans more towards well known porn stars with big boobs and milfs doing straight sex, anal and most every other position. Not a lot of lesbian, group sex or DP scenes if that's your thing. It's basically your local diner that will fill you up but won't wow you. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: All scenes have pics with zips with 2500z1660 sizes going back almost a decade. Pre-2009 sizes drop to 900x600. The in browser viewer for pics is antiquated (can only view pics at 800x530 resolution). You get a ton of pics per scene (usually 500+) which can really means a lot of shots of the same thing. The good thing about all these pics is that if you like softcore photos about one half of the pics per set are the before pose shots where the girls start fully dressed and then strip down to nothing so you can build you own softcore galleries if you want. The action pics are screen grabs which are usually good quality but some scenes are way too dependent on a macro / fisheye lens setting which warps all but the center of the image and bad cropping (scenes where the models have no arms / legs). As usual, the videos typically show more action content than the pics.
VIDS: I liked the in browser options for vids. You can play them at various speeds (.5 to 2x) and numerous resolution (phone to 1080). For the last several years, each scene has jump tags where you can click on the type of action you want to see and the video will jump to that part. Streams were fast and smooth. I had pretty good download speeds for me (1-3 mb/sec) but this varied on time of day; during evening prime time things really got slow to the point I gave up a few times. MP4 is the main video download format and they look good. I downloaded a lot in 480 resolution to save space and they look fine on my 22 monitor.
NAV: Navigation on a site this big works best if you go site by site as opposed the ginormous main update page where pagination becomes an issue. The individual sites look outdated but at least most everything works. There is a model directory which seems complete. You can also tag scenes, save favorite scenes, leave comments and rate scenes. They have a search function based on general categories or tags which seems more inclusive than most sites but still isn't close to complete.
I will note that I like Firefox but even with the most up to date version getting pages to load was terribly slow at any time of day. I resorted to Chrome which worked a lot faster here.
Probiller is not my favorite processor. You can only cancel via phone or email so plan on canceling at least a few days in advance. Customer service is a bit spotty too.
There is a certain lack of male talent here. There are only a handful of guys that appear in most scenes so if one or more of them turn you off then there's a lot you may not like.
Personally I'm not into the whole big butt / big breast thing (hell, I even saw butt implants here) but (pun intended) there is something for most everyone who likes hardcore. I like that they at least put a story line on almost all the scenes, not as well as other sites but it's an improvement over straight gonzo. The overall scene and production quality is not top end but it's better than average which pretty much sums up the site as a whole.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Currently $15 a month through TBP.
+ Access to HardX, DarkX, LesbianX and EroticaX sites (785 vids and 1525 pic sets across all the sites).
+ Attractive, mostly American pornstarlets (teens to 20's mostly).
+ A variety of sex and setups. You probably won't get too bored.
+ Professional staging and production values.
+ 7 video download options from 1080 down to 160 (no 4k).
+ All pics 1920x1280 at 96 dpi.
+ Good download speeds for me (3-5 mb/sec). No download limits.
+ Good looking sleek site design.
+ Model directory appears complete.
+ Options for leaving comments and rating scenes.
+ Exclusive content with daily updates.
Cons:
- Prechecked cross sale on signup.
- Uses a credit card processor my card company didn't like.
- Photo sets and videos are found in separate categories and most don't cross link. Photo set file names are just numbers.
- Until about May of 2017, photo sets were split into 2 separate updates: Glam shots and the Sex scene.
- Basically no model information.
- A fair amount of tatoos but not too bad on the amount of implants.
- Not all scenes have pics and vids.
- Navigation needs some work.
Bottom Line:
I'd been thinking about joining one of these sites recently so when I saw that they had finally put all of them under one roof for $15 a month I jumped on it. As stated, you get access to all four of the X sites. For those not in the know, here's a brief autopsy on what each site gives you:
DarkX: 198 pic sets, 102 vids. All hardcore site featuring mostly white girls with the usual overhung black talent. A lot of anal and some dp here. For whatever reason, the girls featured here tend to be a bit curvier than the other sites (most models appear on most of these sites).
HardX: 880 pic sets, 450 vids. All hardcore with a mix of everything going on. Probably a bit more hardcore than a run of the mill hardcore site but not much extreme. Again, a fair amount of anal. Also, a fair number of BTS vids.
EroticaX: 406 pic sets, 210 vids. All hardcore with the heartcore or couples vibe going on. I liked in that the couples seem to put more effort into the scenes here than most heartcore sites. Very little anal and no dp action.
LesbianX: 40 pic sets, 22 vids. Self explanatory.
PICS: All photo's come in at 1920x1280 (or vice-a-versa for portrait) at 96 dpi and all photo sets have zips although the zip file names are just a number. The photo's are almost all shot very well with limited pixelation and generally good focus. When viewing in browser I wish they would put all the pics on a single page, some sets can have 15 pages of pics. Until you get to late 2015 / early 2016 the number of photos tend to be skimpy (20-40 usually). After that the pic count jumps up to about 100-200 per set or more. I wish they would have had more full body shots on the sex scenes than they did. As usual, the videos have more content than the pics but not by much.
My biggest beef with the pics is that until a few months ago the Glam shots are separate from the sex scenes which is unnecessary in my book. Also, the photo sets are separated from the videos and most sets are not cross linked so you have to search through the pics separately. Lastly, the photo sets are not date stamped but the videos are I'm guessing this is a new site snafu.
VIDS: I had very good download speeds for me. I liked the 7 download options (1080 down to 160). I found myself downloading a lot of 540p vids which look just as good as most 720p vids you see on other sites. The vids are all well shot and lit with high production values. They do have good file names for the downloads on the vids. You can watch the vids in browser (7 stream rate options) which is fast and pretty smooth with minimal buffer time when jumping around. There is preview popup icon on the the time bar when streaming which worked pretty well for all but the oldest vids.
NAV: The site looks good and has a sleek feel. You can view content by each site or overall (all pics or all vids) but you do run into some pagination issues on the latter. You can also watch dvd's although all it does is show which scenes are in a particular dvd. There are tags on the scenes but as usual I found them to be too generic to do a meaningful search. There is no model info but there is room for rating scenes and leaving comments. The biggest bugaboo here is the separate photo and video sections. I found it easiest to look things through going site by site.
This site bills through chargepay.net and is supported by something called openlife. Right after I joined I got a fraud alert text from my credit card company which I had to clear so that wasn't cool but I had no other issues joining (still have yet to cancel).
Overall, I was impressed with the site. While most of the girls are known commodities there is lots of stuff to see and almost all of it is well shot. As a picture lover, I wasn't thrilled with some of the picture issues but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker. At the current price, which I suspect won't last long, it's definitely on the must see list for most hardcore fans.

Pros:
+ Over 6,000 hardcore and lesbian scenes of mostly exclusive hardcore porn
+ A lot of attractive euro girls, mostly teen to early 20's with a few MILFs as well
+ $15 a month through TBP
+ No download limits
+ Good download speeds for me, about 2-3 mb/sec
+ HD files are not excessively large but no file size is ever given
+ Get to see a lot of porn stars, especially early in their careers
+ In browser playback is mostly smooth and you have different stream options
+ Allows for comments, saving scenes as favorites and rating scenes
+ Updates 6x per week
+ Mostly high production value, lots of exotic or unique scene locales too
+ About 90% exclusive content or at least Private media exclusive
Cons:
- Prechecked cross sale
- Support is a bit questionable
- Almost, but not quite, a site for picture oriented porn geeks
- Limited model info, model directory not complete
- Search functions limited and scene tags are too broad for a decent search
- File names are terrible
- About 40% of content is not HD and there's some psuedo-HD as well
- Some scenes get repeated/recycled, especially early on
- Cannot download 4k vids, only stream them
- Just because an update occurs today doesn't mean the scene was shot recently ... or even this century (I'm not kidding).
- Lots of anal and dp if that isn't your thing.
Bottom Line:
This incarnation of the Private website started in 2010 and consists of 251 pages of updates as of August 2017. This site is really a tale of 2 halves. Keep in mind that the date a scene is posted is not when it was shot. Thus, the oldest 125 pages is mostly content shot in the 90's or early 2000's on VHS and converted in 480 digital format. Ouch! Because Private was mostly about producing porn in exotic locales a lot of the early scenes suffer from poor lighting, poor sound, not so special special effects, tons of shitty background music, and the then European obsession with endless closeup shots. Because some scenes were shot in a foreign language Private decided to have the dialogue and sex sound overdubbed on some of these. I challenge you to not laugh as a low quality, poorly lit scene streams hideous overdubbed sex sounds from a double penetration with smooth jazz blaring in the background. Some early scenes get recycled too.
Things finally change with roughly the updates from 2013 onwards (the most recent half). You get HD vids on most updates. By 2014 you start getting reasonable picture counts with sizes coming in at 1600x1060 (96dpi) with some sets getting up to 1500x2300. 4K vids arrive in late 2015 but you can only stream at 4k, not download. They also get away from the obsession with closeups and some of the ultra exotic locales in favor of more set work with higher production values.
Here's some specs:
PICS: Not all scenes have pics (even recent ones) and most are at 1000x1500 (96dpi) with 1600x1060 sizes or larger coming since about 2014. The pic count offered by TBP and the Private is exaggerated. The early scenes only offered a few dozen pics at best and the majority of pics are mostly the obligatory pre-scene pose shots. Starting around 2012/13 you get more scenes with reasonable pic counts (80-200 per scene) without the endless posing. Like most sites, the vids typically show more action than the pics. All scenes with pics have zip downloads although file names are just a series of letters and numbers. The photo viewer sucks though, you only get 8 pics per page and have to frequently jump though a lot of pages to see if you want to download the zip. Pics aren't always in order either when viewing in browser or opening the zip file. The pics tend to be good quality but limited size makes this an iffy site for pic lovers.
VIDS: As noted above, a lot of the early content is just old standard media shots or VHS shots converted into 480p. 480 is only download option for about 40% of the content, otherwise you have options of 480, 720, 1080 or phone. HD comes along in 2013 but, suspiciously, you have 720 or 1080p as options no transition from 720 to 1080 or i to p on the HD. I didn't dig into this deeply but given the age of some of these scenes there is no way they could have been shot at 1080p. Thus, my claim of psuedo HD on some scenes applies. Download speeds were good though and the file sizes were reasonable I download mostly in 720 and half hour scenes were usually 500-700 mb. Scenes range from a few minutes to almost an hour, most fall into 15-30 minutes.
Navigation needs some work. Pagination is limited, but you can manually adjust for page numbers to jump around as needed. Model info is limited. Tags are too generic for any meaningful search and some scenes are mislabelled or tagged as well. As noted above, the picture viewer needs work. The inbrowser stream player works well and has the pop-up screen shot available on the time bar for most videos although how well it works varies from scene to scene. Really the only way to view this site is to page by page.
You signup (less prechecked cross sale) through rocketgate. To cancel you have to submit a support ticket. I was canceled within minutes but I did a confirmation email. Private also makes pretty clear that they don't do support.
A lot of the older content is endemic of what Euro porn used to be: closeups, background music, actors looking at the camera, and very male-centric in that the hot girls are really just willing props with an orifice for you to stick your meat into them. Often, if it went into one orifice it was going into all three. More recently it's a lot more reflective of what you see on DDF, 21st sextury and teenmegaworld. I stunned to see some heartcore type as recent updates. The scenes also have more of a story arc (no dp's within minutes of a girl meeting 2 strangers in the woods) and less emphasis on exotic locations and more on production value. While the production value rises some of what made Private Private has disappeared. It's less focused on exotic locales and scenes with lots of hardcore action and is now more generic in that the scenes now look like they could be shot by any of the major Euro companies.
Overall, the site gets most of it's points from the fact that there is so much content. It's too big to fail but could be better.

Pros:
+ No cross sales on signup, bills through ccbill.
+ Tons and tons of average to good looking amateurs and teens, slightly more US girls than Euro girls. Not many tats and very little silicone.
+ Get to see early and exclusive scenes of starlets before they became famous.
+ Mostly exclusive content (I'd say about 90%).
+ Good download speeds about 2-3 MB/sec which is good for me.
+ Model directory seems complete.
+ Decent sized photos (1500x1020 or better) for 90% of the sets.
+ Multiple daily updates usually 7 per day.
Cons:
- Purely a softcore site now, hardcore stopped about 2 years ago.
- Navigation and search are functionally worthless.
- Website design hasn't changed in well over a decade.
- Primarily a photo site due to poor video tags and search function. Though many photo sets feel incomplete.
- Not all pic sets have accompanying vids.
- Most scenes are pretty generic and they get repetitive.
- No secure login on website.
Bottom Line:
TK Galleria originally stood for Amateur and Teen Kingdom and was a small site I occasionally went to when I first started being an online porn hound over 15 years ago for interesting amateur content. In another fit of nostalgia, I decided to venture back in time and see what was new since I was last there over a decade ago. In short, nothing is new which is not really a good thing.
The website looks like it did years ago which is not good when you got thousands of scenes. What they do is post daily updates and then about once or twice a month they group all the newest updates into galleries, each of which has multiple subsets, and post the galleries in numerical order. This is where the problems start.
Beginning with photos, they have photos split into hardcore and softcore galleries, although it doesn't matter since the content is the same for each. If you want to download a hardcore photo gallery it's not uncommon to find that the scene has been split up. For example, you might have to search the following categories to find all the pics from a scene: action, blowjob, foot fetish and a pose file. In short, the only way to functionally go through the site is to go model by model because all these subcategories can be split into multiple categories in multiple galleries for a single shoot. The downside is that if you only want certain types of scenes, you have too look through all the models to find what you want. This is due to poor or inconsistent tagging or nonexistent tagging (earliest scenes). It's only been in the last few years that the tagging has been better but with content going back to 2006 that excludes a lot of scenes. As an example, the site has 359 action scenes listed (meaning m/f hardcore), when in truth that covers about 25% of the hardcore content. Also, be aware that the starlets name used on this site may not match her name on other sites although the big stars do seem consistent.
With movies, it gets worse. If you click on the movie link you a 370 page list of movies in order of release. If you search by tags, know that there is only a single tag per movie (example, toys or action) so that's not much help. Again, model by model is the only way to go if you want to find anything beyond generic listings. The oldest vids have no descriptors or anything to indicate what's in them, just a model name with download options and sizes. They seem to have made the leap to HD around 2013 but there is very little 1080 and no 4k. You often don't know if you're getting 720 or 1080 until you actually download the video and look at it. Download options are mostly limited to mobile, standard and hd. For recent movies the stream function is smooth and has multiple resolution options and you can jump. For older movies you have to wait for the scene to load before jumping ahead.
While the production values are good there is nothing overly inspired or fresh here. They outsource all their production and have a stable of regular contributor producers. That said, things can get repetitive since some photographers shoot everything with the same few backgrounds with the exact same poses every time, especially with the hardcore.
If you're into softcore amateur photography and want to find some gems, it's not a bad site if you are willing to hunt and peck your way through tens of thousands of scenes. I did download a fair number of photo sets but I know that I'm going to have to piece together a lot of separate files in order to create a "full set" for my purposes. The reality is that this is a site that's been running behind the times for a long time and with the amount of content they have the cracks are really starting to show. Other sites do a better job with organization and have better production values so I can't really recommend it other than maybe a one off membership.

Pros:
+ 30 site network with a lot of exclusive content in many niches (about 3200 scenes about 85% hardcore) with a lot of Eastern Euro girls you won't see elsewhere.
+ Good download speeds (about 2-3 MB/sec).
+ Newer content has 1900x1080 vids and pics going up to 3500x2300.
+ Bills through Epoch.
+ Lots of cute girl next door Russian models with few tats and almost no implants.
+ Zip files for pics
+ In browser stream works well though I had to lower the resolution on newer vids to get smooth playback.
+ TBP discount is $20, half off the regular price.
Cons:
- Of the 30 sites, only 4 are currently updating and only about 6 have updated in the last 5 years.
- The vast majority of content is dated in terms quality (vids are mostly 520x280 and pics 1200x800).
- The photoviewer is clunky to use.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup and a tricky signup button.
- Only updates about once a week and about half the updates are nonexclusive.
- On nonexclusive content, model names are different than from other sites.
- No real model info though the directory seems complete.
- Not enough tags for any real type of search beyond each site or all content
- A lot of the content has an amateur production feel but it's not terrible.
- What little conversation there is in the vids is in Russian.
- Site overall is pretty repetitive in terms of content and how it's produced. No real reason why there are so many sites when the content frequently overlaps.
Bottom Line:
Full disclosure: I joined this site knowing what I was getting into. I had previously joined this site over 10 years ago (it was under a different name then) and sort of liked the photo content but one of the files I had with the content got corrupted. I also recognized a lot of the newer stuff as Teenmegaworld content on the previews so I basically joined in a fit of nostalgia. And nostalgia is what you get. With so few sites updating the vast majority of content is 2008 or earlier. The net effect is cute Russian lasses sporting underwear that was probably the height of fashion in the Soviet era; sets featuring fine hand me down furniture that only a gulag worker could love; and in the videos, scenes so lacking in sexual intensity and chemistry that it makes you believe the whole country was filled with sexual atheists then. Because so much of the content is old, you also get lots of fabulous electronica music scores that play throughout the whole scene.
What I'm effectively saying is that unless you enjoy lower resolution vids with the sound turned down that is primarily a picture site provided you can handle mostly 800x1200 sized pics. Still I kind of liked it because the girls are mostly ones you don't or didn't see elsewhere and they are pretty cute, having that eastern euro girl next door look and they aren't all tatted and siliconed up. Here's a quick run down:
PICS: Like I said, most fall in the 1200x800 size and all scenes have pics with zips. There are roughly 100 scenes in total that have larger sizes. As usual, a lot of the pic scenes don't have as much content as the vids.
VIDEO: Again, due to the lack of updates there aren't as many 1080 scenes as the low rez 520x280; probably a few hundred scenes and some of those are just standard rez scenes enhanced to HD sized. The early scenes have a lot of music throughout and the action isn't very hot. All dialogue is in Russian and only a few vids have subtitles.
NAV: Navigation is fine if you go site by site as opposed to viewing all the updates across the network when you run into pagination issues. Tags are worthless because there aren't enough of them. Model info is basically worthless. However, the stream function works fine and downloading is easy. Video download files need better naming too.
Signup can be a bit tricky. There is a prechecked cross sale and the actual sign up page, there are four boxes outlining the payment options and a box below that says Create account for 30 sites. If you don't click the monthly membership box above the Create account box, the confirmation page will want to automatically sign you up for a year in a manner you may not catch. I almost got burned by this.
With the lack of updates and the large quantity of older low rez content, unless you're a photo collector who is willing to tolerate a bunch of 800x1200 sized pics of cute Russian girls banging away it's probably not worth joining. The exception would be if you're into old/young content as there is a good amount of that that's exclusive and not all low rez. So, if you want to revisit the internet porn world from the early 2000's, this is a good place to do it.

Pros:
+ Scored a $10 Black Friday monthly membership from TBP (currently $18)
+ No cross sales on signup. Bills through Epoch.
+ Mostly attractive US models on the main sites.
+ Very basic web design but it works and getting around is easy.
+ Decent download and stream speeds
+ Good production standards (usually).
+ Good streaming video function in standard, 720 or 1080 for most vids.
+ Almost all scenes have pics and vids.
+ Good mix of known pornstars and amateurs.
Cons:
- This is a four network site and the only one that has any reasonable amount of content is Fuckedhard18. The rest are throwaway sites.
-No model info, just a girls first name. Limited search due to funky tagging.
- Limited updates (Fuckedhard18 no longer updates).
- Most pics are 1020 x 680 or less so it's not really a pic site.
- Fuckedhard18 is highly repetitive in its use of the set, shooting angles and plot development.
- The whole site is pretty much an advertisement to buy porn from other sites.
Bottom Line:
Like many Americans, I was still tripping on turkey tryptophan when I scored a cheap deal on a Black Friday and quickly came to regret the quality of my purchase. I sort of like the massage themed stuff which is what Fuckedhard18 is but I got pretty much caused me to abandon this network fairly quickly. Well, let's just break this network down by site since that seems like it will cause me the least amount of pain:
Newgirlpov: A 15 scene vanity project for the guy shooting it. Girl gets interviewed, screwed a little, dances in her undies to music and has more sex with the dude who makes her call him Daddy. Every actress gets a perfect score in the ratings categories the producer lists on every scene page. Yay, participation trophies for all. Just a few pics associated with the clips here. Nothing here you haven't seen done better elsewhere.
FuckedhardGFS: About 100 scenes of mostly pornstars posing and having sex in about 1/3 of the scenes. Hasn't updated in years. More amateur in terms of production value. Interesting but the quality is only OK.
Bangable: About 200 scenes of random amateur chicks in various states of undress dancing and prancing to music in video scenes that mostly 1 3 minutes long (almost no pics). WTF? The only thing that could have made this site enjoyable was if Rick Astley's Never Give You Up video came up in the background of every scene because to even call this erotica is just a Rickroll.
Fuckedhard18: About 350 scenes and no updates. To describe one scene is describe every single one. Girl walks onto cheapo massage parlor set, strips and gets interviewed by massage dude about pointless stuff. Guy fingers girl, they have sex in 4 or 5 positions while the guy sometimes still chats with her and gives onscreen direction (aka no romance factor and little connectivity between the actors). Every scene is pretty much the same and involves the same positions and camera angles. The fact that every scene looks and plays out the same sort of killed it for me. Granted, the girls are good looking and some of the sex was OK but it wasn't enough to overcome the monotony for me.
TBP lists pics here as 1500x1020 but that's only for about 10% of the scenes. The rest feature 1500x1020 shots of the model posing but all of the action is shot in landscape mode and only reaches 1020x680. All scenes have zips.
I downloaded very little video so I didn't really track the specs on the vids and can only say they seem decent. No problems streaming or jumping around in a vid while streaming. The video download options are sometime weird: sometimes you get mp4 and wmv options, sometimes one or the other. I found that the HDUltra download option is 1080, the Mp4HD is 720 and anything else is either 480 p or standard def.
Be aware that there are 22 sites listed in the pull down menu on the homepage. At first it looks great cause it shows Wowgirls, JulesJordan, JoyMi and others. The downside is that there is about 10 scenes for each of these sites and the quality available is less than you get from those actual sites. Basically, this networks seems to be geared towards generating cross sales to these places.
Overall, this site seems like it's dead or dying and you're better off saving a few pesos by skipping this one unless you're really into massage content.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ $10 a month thru TBP (you can renew for less than that going through cancellation)
+ Bills through Epoch
+ Almost 7900 scenes of hardcore porn going back over 14 years over a 40 site network with thousands of porn stars (big emphasis on American babes)
+ All scenes have pics with zips and vid downloads sized from postage stamps to 4k monsters
+ Updates about 10-12 times a week
+ Navigation is pretty easy
+ Access to VR content without paying extra
+ Streaming vids have the small pop up window showing what action is occuring where when you move across the time bar.
+ Professionally produced content with good lighting and generally good production values
+ There is live show content that has been archived for those who like that stuff
Cons:
- Cross checked presale upon signup
- Ads, upsells and (new to me) offers to text with favorite porn star (cause you know all she's doing is waiting for you to send her a dic pic)
- Download speeds vary a lot, from acceptable (2 mb/sec) to 1990's call me in 3 days when the download is done (single digit kb/sec ... yes, that's kilobyte per second). Steaming at even the lowest resolutions can be challenging a times too.
- Things get real repetitive real quick. Very little imagination or originality here. Just a generic hardcore site.
- 40 sites on the network but the only two themes are co-eds and milfs.
- Lots of tats and lots of silicone.
- Some sites are dead and most only update sporadically but given the over all uniform nature of the site it's too big of a deal (the sites aren't really niche specific)
- Obviously, the oldest content isn't nearly as good in quality as the more recent stuff.
- Have do a check the boxes that apply captcha every log in (challenging for my IQ).
Bottom Line:
So, let's face facts. In short, given the sheer volume of downloadable porn at your finger tips you really can't go wrong for a $10 monthly membership. Hell, I spent more than that on a 6-pack at the store the other day. However, unless you're used to sipping the low end crapola (beer or porn, doesn't matter) you're gonna get tired of this place in short order. Yes, you do have some cuties in the form of co-eds and some mighty fine milfs but the lack of originality and repetitiveness of the scenes kill the fun fairly soon (Look! A big chested tatted up gal getting it on with the neighbor checking the usual position boxes. Repeat ad infinitum.) Toss in the god awful download speeds that rear their ugly head in seemingly random times and you won't be spending month after month here. Here's the details:
PICS: I have to say that pics are actually one of the highlights here for me now. The early stuff (start to early 2013) is only 1000x670 but after that it jumps to 1300x900 and then to 2000x1600 in 2014. Do note that the 1300x900 pics almost always come in 150 or 300 dpi so they're effectively twice that size or more assuming you adjust your pics for 72 dpi imaging on your display. As usual there is generally more action in the vids than on the pics. It isn't uncommon for the pics to not really have anything to do with the video scene either which is fine by me (2 for the price of one in my book). A minor beef is that once the resolution size jumps up to 1300x900 or more you get a lot of pics (often 250-400) but you get dozens of pics showing the same damn thing which gets annoying while creating unneccessarily large zip files (500 mb isn't uncommon).
VIDS: I know that my computer and my wireless router aren't setting any speed records but, as noted above, this place can make dying of boredom a real possibility at times. Assuming you get a decent connection the viewing ain't bad though. They claim 1080 going back to about 2009 but some of that I think is suspect since they have been remastering some older content and they claim you can download that in 4k in other words all you're getting is lower end video fomatted as 1080 or 4k. However, within the last 4 years everything seems good. You can download the short 5 minute version in quicktime, you got mobile downloads, wmv clips and full length, and full length 480, 720, 1080 and 4k. You can stream in 480, 720 or 1080 although a few sites had problems loading streams for me. You also have roku options that I didn't use. VR comes at no extra charge but the VR scenes only come in VR, no 1080, etc. The vids look good even at 480.
NAV: Navigation is not a total disaster here like it often gets on networks of this size. The best way to go is go through by site or by model. A few sites have a lot of pages but you can manually enter the page number in the url to get where you want faster. All scenes are dated. There is model directory that seems complete but has almost no useful info (lots of stars born on January 1, 1600) and the same dreadful lines are used to describe every starlet (she has a body made for porn and is ready to f*ck).
Like I said, there isn't a lot of originality going on here. It's all single camera action with the usual set ups and usual positions. There is a little POV but mostly standard shoots through and through. There's very little of anything other than white booty with big tits and tats grinding away. I have to agree with Exotics4me and his review (always read his reviews) that it's about 2/3 milf action and 1/3 co-ed action.
If I had categorize this site in two words it would be Brazzer's Lite - you get a lot of the same looking girls but without the production value and less originality (if you can call Brazzer's original but that's a story for another day). For me, this place gets an 81 mostly because of the crapola download speeds I suffered through. Still, for $10 a month, I'll probably come back again in a few years.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
+ 750 hardcore scenes of attractive nubile aged porn featuring a good mix of Euro and American girls (what's not to like). Also a good mix of pornstars and relative unknowns. Mostly b/g content with some lesbian and 3 some. Limited anal / fetish content.
+ All scenes have pics with zips and at least 720 HD video (Half the scenes have 1080 sized vids).
+ Almost all exclusive content.
+ Numerous download options for vids and numerous playback options for streaming. The site also remembers your stream preferences.
+ Good D/L speeds for me; about 1.5 - 2 mb/sec.
+ Some interesting niche sites like Petiteballerinas and several milf + younger girl on boy sites.
+ Bills through CCBill.
+ Mostly professional production level porn with good lighting.
Cons:
- Streaming playback was choppy for me at HD levels, had to resort 640x340 size for smooth playback.
- Only updates about once every 3 days.
- Limited model info.
- Tags and categories are bit too limited for a site this sized.
- There was a stretch of a few years where most of the models and scenes were basically teeenmegaworld / 3xgirls content (not exactly duplicates but the same models and style of shooting).
- Could use more dual camera work and some of the scenes do lack a bit of passion (just going through the motions). Limited story lines / plot if any.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup page and you can't chose your own password and username.
- Model names for the Euro girls, especially on older updates, is sketchy. File naming on downloads is also poor (no names, just numbers or scene names).
Bottom Line:
In a nutshell, this is the hardcore version of nubiles.net. Pretty much all the content on nubiles will be found here minus the softcore / solo stuff. Thus, what you get is banging hot young bods in banging action. Exoticsforme did a good review recently so I'm not adding a lot here other than to mostly echo what he said. Here's the skinny:
PICS: All scenes have zip downloads available. About half the scenes have 2400x1600 sized pics while the newest half (late 2013 onward) go up 5760x3480. As with most sites, there is usually less going on in the pics here than with the vids. As usual, most pics are just HD video screen grabs but overall they look pretty good with limited pixelation. Most scenes also have screenshots to view. In browser viewing is at the 2400x1600 level.
VIDS: Starting in late 2013, you get 6 download options (1080 down to 480). The other half (2013 and earlier) at least have 720 vids. Good production qualities overall with good download speeds. In-browser playback a bit choppy at HD levels for me. Limited dialogue and plot lines in the vids. Most vids 20-30 minutes long. The 1080 sized vid files can get overly large (3-4 gigs).
NAV: In a word, "meh". The easiest way to download (short of DL manager) is to just go through all 50 pages of the nubiles-porn site. All updates are listed on there. As a short cut, note the scene number you left off at and hand type it in when you next log in to continue. The tags and categories are too general to be of much use. There is "public tags" section here which is new to me but is worthless are it's mostly douche bags saying "hot girl needs anal". The model directory seems complete but has almost zero info on the girls.
OVERALL: Despite my usual gripes about sites this ain't bad. I pretty much go what I expected at a decent level of quality without too much hassle.
Do note the following: Most of the updates come in two sites: PetiteHD and Nubiles-porn. The other sites update just once a month. DriverXXX no longer updates and was stupid anyway with poor quality (the driver / male has his face digitized out in the vids but not the photos, give me a break).
A lot of the Euro girls are shot by the same guys who bring you Teenmegaworld / 3xGirls so if you don't like their stuff be warned. I did come across a couple of scenes though that already occupy my hard drive.
Most of the scenes are farmed out so quality can sometimes be a bit iffy (Teacherfucksteens has really poor sound quality).
Most of the scenes are shot using a single camera and single mic which is usually static and can be a bit dull after a while. There is some POV style shooting in the scenes for those interested in that.
If you're wondering if you should join here or nubiles.net, it doesn't matter. You have access to all the sites through here and price is the same. If you got time, browse the nonhardcore babes too as there's a ton of them (multiple daily updates).
Overall, this is a good quality hardcore teen oriented site. The action can be a bit repetitive or uninspiring but no real complaints. Gotta like that in my book.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Prior members look for occasional $10 a month memberships in your in box (otherwise $20 a month)
+ Access to the DDF Network of sites
+ Over 1000 scenes of mostly exclusive eurobabe hardcore action with updates roughly every 2 days.
+ Bills through Epoch
+ Very good download speeds (consistent 2mb/sec for me)
+ Excellent navigation
+ The last few years have 1920 x 1080 resolution vids. All scenes have zips but only in the max picture size.
+ Good model directory that seems complete and shows the tags associated with that model.
+ Pics come mostly come in 2000x1300 rez.
+ Professional high end production value.
Cons:
- About 20% of recent updates is "guest content" that only allows you to stream a video supplied by another site.
- Some older vids (I'm talking 7-10 years ago) don't have working streams even though it's indicated as available.
- Some content recycling (about 3-4 times a year).
- Some "Hidden" content that you can only find via the model directory (my guess is that it's waiting to be recycled).
- Searching via tags is, as usual, not really worth your time on a site this size.
- Quality still very good compared to other sites bit appears to be slipping a bit.
Bottom Line:
I was going to do a review on the whole DDF Network but exoticsforme just did a very complete review so I'll just focus on this site as it's the main reason I keep coming back to the network.
As you'd expect, DDF puts out high quality product and this site is no exception. Here's a quick run down:
PICS: All scenes have pics and zips but zips only come in one size (max rez). The oldest stuff is not worth it at roughly 500x800 rez but most everything the last 10+ years is 2000x1300 or 1600x1000 (for the older stuff). They've cut back a bit on pic count recently - usually topping out at about 100 while a few years ago they'd push about 150. My only minor beef with the most recent pics is "photo density": meaning you get a decent sized downloaded pic but the file size isn't that large. This is fine for monitor viewing like I do but for those who watch on their big screen tv's the lack of pixels will become apparent.
VIDS: The new stuff is very good at a very high bit rate (see the TBP review for more specs) and definitely HD but does not truly qualify as 4k. Download speeds are very good. Recent vids have 4 download options plus stream. For the last 2 years or so the stream function also has tags that let you jump to specific action in the vid with pushing the bar which is nice. With the exception of some pretty old vids the stream function worked well. The oldest content here lacks vids (yep, back in the day when pics were all you got - tells you how far back they go here).
NAV: Some of the best navigation I've seen in a while. You can select a site and search by update, year/month, or by tags. You get 20 scenes per page and you can page jump easily. Click on scene and the vid is on top. Scroll down and you get the first page of pics (you can easily go forward back on the pic pages without reloading the whole page). It saves you a lot of clicking and opening scenes in separate windows which is a nice change.
Overall, you really can't go wrong here if you're into hardcore. The only real downer is the more frequent use of stream only guest content and the occasional recycled scene. The last few years feature a fair amount of anal content if you're into that. I've noticed that they've expanded their stable of photographers (aka - "outsourced") which leads to some variation of scene quality.
Otherwise it's a good mix of b/g and multiple partner eurobabe porn (yes, the vids are in English although it's struggle for some actors). Not too many tatoos and not too many fake breasts which is a nice break too. On it's own I give this site an 89 but when you add in the network with multiple daily updates of high quality nastiness you're easily into a score of 90+.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ 4,000 interracial hardcore scenes spread over 23 sites covering a variety of niches. All scenes have pics and vids.
+ Bills through Epoch, easy cancellation.
+ Easy navigation and it works.
+ Most pics are 1000x1600 or better and come in zips.
+ Tags work and model directory seems complete.
+ Lots of fetish content (cuckold, bukkake, glory hole, etc.) if you're into that. Probably about 20% anal content overall.
+ Wide selection of girls (teen to 50+) and includes porn stars to amateurs.
+ Production value is mostly good.
+ Good file naming for organizing downloads.
Cons:
- Updates are spotty. Only 3-4 updates per week over the whole network, some sites go months without updates. Only a couple of sites update once a week.
- Late coming to the party with HD pics and 1080 vids not starting until 2013. Site also claims it shoots in 4k HD but there are no 4k downloads available.
- Some sites are very repetitive in theme and shoots.
- Lots of racism and misogyny, especially in the earlier years. The whole IR thing is overplayed to me.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup.
- Site is a bit slow. I never had download speeds cross the 900 kb/sec range.
- Had some issues with the inbrowser video player on a few sites - couldn't jump ahead in the video playback, had to reload the page a lot in order to get it to work.
- Almost all scenes shot using a single camera and mic which is a bit disappointing at times (Show me what's going on!).
- Large watermark in lower right hand of pics regardless of what it covers up, a few sites use multiple watermarks.
Bottom Line:
As the most interesting man in the world says, "I don't always spend $30 a month on porn, but when I do, it's spent on watching on monster black dongs doing unspeakable acts with caucasian women". If you haven't guessed it already, the main theme here is interracial porn featuring black men who ... well, let's just say that to call them "well endowed" is like saying the MVP of your favorite sports league has "some talent".
Blacks on Blondes is the headliner with scenes going back 12 years but the main focus of this 23 site network is having white women encountering these black goliaths. The remaining sites have only started in the last 5 to 6 years. As noted above, there is a fair amount of cuckold, bukkake and other fetishes explored, some (watchingmydaughtergoblack, watchingmymomgoblack, and cuckoldsessions) more watchable than others (theminion is almost unwatchable - literally "food porn"). There are also a few sites with feature girls dedicated to shagging only black men (SpringThomas, RuthBlackwell, etc). Overall, a good mix of girls in terms of age and looks and situations although I will echo the point one recent comment made in that the quality of talent seems to be ebbing a bit in the last year.
PICS: All scenes have pics with zip downloads. The earliest pics are just too small (only applies to blacksonblondes). The 1000x1600 sizes appear in 2007 and the 2000x3000 in 2013. Most sets come in with about 150-200 pics. As noted, the watermark(s) are unnecessary and too big. Most pics appear to be screencaps which means you have to deal with some blurry shots or overly narrow focus fields which is par the course now a days. In probably 80-90% of the scenes, the vids have more content than the pics.
VIDS: Current vids have 4 mp4 download options (1080 being tops), and one large wmv file. All scenes have in browser viewing with a popup showing what action happens when along the play bar. 1080 doesn't start until 2013 and 720 starts about 2007. Have to admit that even the earliest videos looked good on my screen. I had no issues with downloading but I don't use a DL manager. There are no 4k vids which are advertised on the home page.
NAVIGATION: It's easy and it works. You can only search by each site but that works for me. They have a page jump function for each page on a site and you get 5 scenes per page. Model directory is complete and covers the whole site. Tags are a bit general as usual but work.
OVERALL: This was mostly enjoyable site with decent content. One main beef is that, with the exception of the most recent year or two, when you put 2 or more brothers together in a scene they can't stop yammering on about whatever. The early blacksonblondes shoots also feature an off camera "interviewer" who won't shut up either.
A lot of the sites are overly repetitive in their shoots. For example, in Interracial pickups you know the guy will start with the guy driving in his car talking about the weather and what positions each girl will do when and how the photo shoot will look. Not a deal breaker but annoying after a while.
However, if you do get bored with the scenes, just read the scene comments. Between the outright misogyny, racism, and juvenile directing hints you'll feel like the most enlightened person on the planet. A lot of the shoots (especially the earlier ones) overly emphasize the whole IR thing and there's generous use of the "N" word by everyone involved. As with most sites, when you start getting multiple guys on a girl, the girl quickly becomes nothing more than a sex object. Not unexpected given the nature of this network but outdated and overplayed in my book.
There is webcam advertising on every page and the few "extra sites" aren't worth looking at. There are also 2 gay sites associated with the network but I didn't check them out.
Despite my complaints I still give this place an 85. Tons of content in various niches, lots of girls from smoking hot to totally not (most models are attractive) and generally good production value. I downloaded more than I thought I would going in. Probably one of the better IR sites out there but if you're not sure if that's something for you then at least you know what you're getting into.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ Large amount of all hardcore content (700+ DVD's with about 4200 total scenes).
+ Updates several times a week, averages about once a day.
+ Mostly exclusive content (some teenmegaworld content being added now).
+ Get access to their parody vids.
+ Mostly professional production values.
+ Good TBP price of $15 month
Cons:
- Navigation, tags, search and model directory all suck.
- Almost all scenes use condoms if that's an issue for you.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup, lots of advertising within the site itself. Site has upsells too.
- Live shows are dead (but you can buy old ones).
- Not really a picture site (almost all scenes have pics with zips though).
- Poor file labelling (just numbers)
- Download speeds are all over the place (I ranged from 1-2 mb/sec to about 100 kb/sec)
- Lots and lots of very generic porn that gets old fast with a lot of the same contract girls.
- Lighting can be really bad at times.
- Oldest vids are very low quality and I couldn't get many to play. Reliable scenes only go back to about '93/94 but are, understandably, quite low res.
- Lots of music in the vids that continue up to only a few years ago.
- You don't necessarily get all the new Wicked updates, new updates can be content that was released years ago (I think you you have to upgrade to get the hot "new" stuff).
Bottom Line:
I was debating whether to even review this one but the lack of recent reviews sort of made me buckle down with a few drinks and pound this crap out. In short, I was a member here back when the pyramids were being built and thought it was a decent site. However, my return was met with a completely overhauled site that left me scoring it a 73 only for the shear volume of content. Here goes nothing:
PICS: The newest scenes have awesome sized pics (2500x1600) but the pic counts are very low. It's only in 2013 and earlier that you get any decent number of pics (pics end in 2006). However, by late 2011 the pic sizes drop to 800x500 which is pointless by today's standards unless you like looking at pics on your phone. The pics all have large watermarks too.
VIDS: The newest vids are good sized and look good. However, by late 2011 the quality quickly drops and you get a lot of psuedo HD stuff (540 HD) that it just OK looking. Music starts appearing in the middle of the action as well. Had some issues with vids being way too dark. Lots of closeup shots and a lot of single camera viewpoint shots (guys, at least move the camera around once in a while).
NAV: This part really sucks. You got 84 pages of scenes that come up and you can only jump 2 pages at a time (note, just type in the page you want in the url address to avoid this). The scenes are poorly tagged, too generically tagged to be useful or not tagged at all. The model directory is not complete and often misses the group scenes. Model directory can't be searched alphabetically, only searchable by "likes" and "recently added". You get the point yet?
Overall, I can't recommend this site unless you got the royal hots for some of their contract stars and want to complete your collection. Too much "blah" generic action that, if you couldn't see the naughty bits, would be featured on late night HBO. Lots of hot girls but the action and way it's shot with lots of closeups and fixed cameras just dulled my brain. Basically, this site seems more like a dumping ground for Wicked as opposed to an online flagship effort.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ About 215 scenes of exclusive milf / mature hardcore action featuring mostly attractive gals.
+ All scenes have vids and about 98% have pic sets with zips.
+ Multiple download options on vids and vid quality is good. All vids have at least one HD download option.
+ Good download speeds for me (about 3-4 MB/sec).
+ Decent price of $18 month through TBP.
+ Bills through Epoch.
+ The inbrowser video player works well.
+ Good production values across the board.
+ Model directory seems complete.
Cons:
- Not really a picture site (see below).
- Downloaded files and vids poorly labelled (just numbers).
- Too much music in the earlier produced vids.
- No real search function or tags. No model information.
- Pretty much M/F hardcore, not much anal or 3 way and zero solo or lesbian if you're into that.
- A bit too "heartcore" for my tastes.
- Updates only once a week.
- As one sort of expects with the older actresses, there is a lot of silicone to look at.
Bottom Line:
Wasn't really sure what I'd be getting here when I signed up other than a more mature line of starlets. Overall, it's pretty much a straight M/F hardcore site featuring pornstars in their late 20's to late 40's. The girls are mostly attractive pornstars (no BBW) and the production value is good to excellent across the board (no amateur feel to it). Here's the specs:
PICS: Like I said this isn't really a picture site. The pics dating from the beginning to late 2014 have portrait resolution of 1500x2700 but only have landscape resolution of 1500x840. What went wrong there? Others are a hodge podge of different sizes (a lot of 1000x1500 though). The most recent pics are all 1000x1500. The pics mostly look like HD screen grabs so there is some blurriness and cropping is questionable at times. A lot of scenes are shot in bright light or white backgrounds which causes some pixelation and washout. Most of my downloads were done in hopes that I could salvage some stuff that would look good on my monitor as opposed to looking forward to editing the sets later.
VIDS: Download speeds were good for me. With earlier vids you get options 1080 mpeg or wmv or 480. Starting in 2014 you also get 720 resolution options. This mostly a "heartcore" site which means lots of bright background lighting. The older vids show a bit of pixelation because of this but it improves over time. Also, through late 2013, the theme was "heartcore" (aka - porn for mimes) meaning that no one in the scene makes any real sex noises. Apparently the producers noticed that and thus incorporated random porn synthesizer music into various parts of the scenes to take it down another notch. The music goes away for the later vids (late 2013 onward) and the action gets more heated but there are no real story lines or conversation in the vids. The camera work is decent though and you do get some nonstandard views which is welcome.
NAV: As noted, it's pretty basic. You can only search according to model, date or ranking. If you are looking for something specific in a scene then you'll have wade through everything to find it because nothing is tagged.
MISC: There is a fair amount of POV style shooting here (run by remote or a cameraman, not the herky jerky hand held stuff done by the guy). The scene shifts in the vids can be a bit choppy at times too. Otherwise, the main theme is heartcore or heartcore with a slight edge. No real slapping or spitting here which is fine by me but it's almost too tame, especially if you've seen some of the actresses other work. As a comedian once said, "If the sex ain't dirty, you ain't doing it right."
If you're looking to add to your mature video collection it's worth taking a look at. Otherwise I'd say it's OK. If you're into pics then I'd say move along. Average is the site so average be my score.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Over 1800 hundred scenes of mostly attractive younger gals getting their sexy on across a 20 site network.
+ No DRM or download limits.
+ Bills through Epoch, no prechecked cross sales.
+ Updates about 5 times a week.
+ Mostly exclusive content (LustHD and Rubateen sites are just 18xgirls / teenmegaworld content)
+ Good quality vids with good download speeds and multiple download options.
+ Newer vids have tag jumps where you can jump to a specific sex act while streaming. Video streaming works well and has several settings.
+ Navigation is basic but it works well.
Cons:
- The listed TBP price of $9.87 doesn't apply, monthly price is about $18.
- Ads, ads, ads, ads. Ads everywhere.
- Not a picture site, max resolution is 1600x1000 and only goes back a few years.
- Production quality is just average and drops down to amateur on some sites.
- All vids pretty much labelled "HD" although the older content isn't.
- Some sites are dead or update sporadically. Most update 1 to 2 times a month.
- Nothing terribly unique or exciting about the content overall. A generic porn hub.
Bottom Line:
You know you're getting old when I know the last time I visited a site now included in this network PU didn't exist and I was in the last days of a 56k connection. A bit of nostalgia got a hold of me and I decided to take a look again and was pretty much left feeling "meh".
This is a 20 site network with Innocenthigh and Xtrasmall being the two best sites. Perhaps by coincidence these two sites have most of the major porn stars on them too. The network feature mostly US porn stars and a mix of amateur or very short lived porn starlets and the main focus is on hardcore porn (really no anal for those so inclined). Here's the skinny:
PICS: Like I said, this isn't a pic network. Pics max at 1000x1600 but by mid 2013, drop to 1050x750. With sporadic updates, it doesn't take long before you've hit the low end on most sites. Lots of action from vids missing on pics and cropping leaves something to be desired. Several sites may only have a few dozen pics. Scenes that do have lots of pics mostly feature the preshoot tease pics. Not a lot to see here.
VIDS: All sorts of download options (WMV, MP4, HD and standard resolution) as well as different levels for in browser streaming. Download speeds were consistently good (about 3 MB/sec for me). The stream function worked well and I like the tag jump function. You get HD starts about late 2010, before that you have the old standard sized vids. Vids also have screencaps.
NAV: Navigation, although basic, works pretty well. No dead links, everything worked. Tags as usual can be a bit spotty but seem pretty consistent here. The best way to search is by site or by model. Only limited model info provided.
OVERALL: For whatever reason, I wasn't terribly impressed with the site overall. I don't use a DL manager and I was still able to look at and download everything I wanted in about 6 - 8 hours.
A very consistent theme is felt given that a lot of models appear on many of the sites. The POV sites, Teensdoporn and Shesnew sites all had an amateur level feel to them (low production value, spotty lighting and single cam, usually operated by the man). Even the more interesting sites had average production value and some questionable camera angles. There's nothing terrible about the site but, then again, nothing great either.
I see that Maggie just finished a review here giving the network a score of 90. That is definitely too high of score for what you get in comparison to other hardcore sites at that level. In my opinion it's decent network so that's what my score reflects.

Pros:
+ Good deal at $15 a month for almost 40 sites counting the lesser quality bonus content.
+ 8500+ scenes of exclusive mostly Euro porn with daily updates.
+ Lots of hot models and a good variety of h/c, lez, solo and some tranny. Overall high production value and quality.
+ All scenes have both pics w/ zips and vids
+ Pics are large, going up to 7300x4900 in a few cases.
+ 5 vid download options and stream function.
+ Pretty decent navigation which is rare in my book.
+ Good download speeds (600 - 2,000 MB/sec across multiple channels was usual).
+ Bills through Epoch and no prechecked cross sales. Home page also displays how many days left on your subscription.
Cons:
- Many of the sites are dead or only update sporadically leaving about 10 truly active sites.
- A fair amount of anal for those not so inclined.
- More material is being farmed out to secondary producers now and the quality takes a hit on these scenes.
- I had difficulty getting the stream video function to work well (I had to run the vid about 15 seconds, pause it and let it buffer for a bit before being able to jump forward/back).
- Limited model info and interaction. The Fanclub where models interacted is now dead.
- Pix and vid don't always include the same content and some of the sites were painfully predictable as to which hardcore positions would be featured, especially on the pics.
- Especially for pics, the camera work needs to improve (see below).
- Some cross selling, especially for other 21stsextury sites that share the same portal hub.
- File naming is poor (just a number).
Bottom Line:
I found it hard to believe that it had been five years since I was last here but my hard drive coffers are now restocked and joy has spread across the land. I always liked this network, even when it was just stand alone sites way back when, and it finally hits the ceiling on my score list. Here be the nuts and bolts:
PICS: Starting in the second half of 2010, the pic sizes jump from 1200x800 to about 3700x5800 and some sets go even bigger. All scenes have zips and have between 100 and 300 pics. Due to some of the large pic sizes, you can get zips exceeding 1 gig in size so be prepared to self edit if you don't hoard disk space. Overall quality is generally quite good. The pics appear all on one page which is nice but when viewing inbrowser you can't enlarge a pic to it's full size.
My main beef with the pics (and this goes to other sites who have introduced large pic sizes) is that you can't rely on autofocus any more. Most of the pics are either screen grabs from the HD movie or separately shot using a narrow range or "dot" autofocus. This works for distance shots or when the body(s) are perpendicular to the camera. However, when the model angles away the result is that a good portion of the body gets slightly out of focus and is annoying. I tossed a lot of pics because of this. It gets really bad on Footsiebabes now and I had to chuck entire sets just because everything but the feet where out of focus. Clearly they have cut back on photography like a lot of othere sites but the over reliance on a narrow focal range gets noticeably bad when you jump to very large pic sizes.
Some of the super sized pics also look grainy at full size meaning they just used screen caps or blew up standard pics beyond their limits.
VIDS: Downloads available in 1080, 720, 540 and 2 phone sizes and most vids are 20-30 minutes long. 1080 starts appearing about 2 years ago. It's not super high end 1080 but it looks good. I downloaded a lot in 540 and it still looks good on my monitor. Other than an issue with the stream player, everything was cool with the vids.
NAVIGATION: Usually I rip sites on their navigation function but I don't have much bad to say here other than "it works pretty well". I never pay attention to search by tag because tagging is never consistent and on a site this size any search simply dumps 100's of scenes on you. Best way to go is by model (the directory seems complete) or by individual site or by network update date. The sites are listed on the side bar. You just click and go. Only real negative is that they need a better page jump system. With some sites topping 100 pages they only let you jump a couple of pages at a time. That's an unnecessary time killer.
OTHER: As noted above, some of the content is produced out of house. AnalTeenAngels and Gapeland use the same models and production as you get with Teenmegaworld. There are more scenes now with U.S. models which are also outsourced. The production value isn't as high with these sites and they get repetitious quick but it isn't terrible by any means. A few sites where also predictable in that you know exactly what every scene would look like in terms of positions.
The stuff from early 2010 and before is lesser quality (1200x800 pics and 540 sized vids) but that's to be expected. The content is still good and I think looks almost better in terms of models and production value (not comparing to today's world) than some of the most recent stuff.
Despite my incessant bitching, which is common in my reviews, I admit to really liking this site. It has very good production values. Most scenes offer some story line (not a lot of gonzo) in different locations and usually start with the models clothed and then working down from there. You got a ton of variety in terms of content and a lot of different girls. Hell, I even grabbed some content from the "lesser" bonus sites which still had an acceptable level of content and I almost never do that. It has great looking content going back for over a decade and is a great value.
Thus, I plant my flagpole atop 21sextury and proclaim it "King" of my review hill. Not a bad way to finally crest the "100 points" on the review hill.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ 1200+ scenes of mostly hardcore Eastern Euro hotties. Heavy emphasis on school girl and massage themes.
+ Huge pics (5700x3800) with zips, about 125 pics per set.
+ 1900x1200 HD vids with multiple download options and in browser playback. Generally good download speeds - 700 mb/sec or more on multiple channels when not in peak time).
+ Good $15 per month price through TBP.
+ Updates 2-3 times a week.
+ Professional production value.
Cons:
- Site is sensitive to peak traffic times and can slow down a lot.
- Prechecked cross sale on sign up and advertising and cross sales in members area.
- Very little English in vids.
- A fair amount of anal if you're not into that.
- Almost all nonexclusive content (all stuff you see on Teenmegaworld and places like that).
- Site went through a "bad phase" around 2012 with some sub par material.
- A few problems with in browser streaming, fixed by watching in mp4 mode.
- Navigation just OK. Some missing tags and mislabelled scenes.
Bottom Line:
Let's be clear here. You're not joining this site for exclusive content. Most of this stuff comes from other sites. What you're joining for is the better quality you get here over other sites so it's really more of a collectors site than a casual porn surfers paradise. You can find more quantity for about the same money elsewhere.
This is my second time around and while I joined expecting one thing I actually got 3 things. The oldest content is straight hardcore from Teenmegaworld. That's what I expected. Then, around 2012, the site jumped to daily updates and the quality of the girls and production value went down and you got a lot of solo girl scene. Over the last 15 months you now get something more like WOWGirls which is high production value, bright lights and more "heartcore" level porn but with some "tender anal" (an oxymoron?) thrown in. Interesting. Overall, I'd say the site is 75% hardcore now.
Here's a breakdown:
PICS: Pics are huge and that's I why I came back. I will note the cropping has gotten a bit tighter (I like full body) but it's still very good. The stuff around 2012 is not very good and poorly cropped. Save some hard drive room because the zip sets come in around 500 mb per set.
The most recent "heartcore" stuff is almost exclusively back lit with very bright sun light or lamps which can cause some pixelation and washout of the pic which can be annoying at times.
VIDS: I did have some playback issues with in stream browser as noted above. Download speeds varied a lot by time of day (peak traffic times sucked). Vids were very good quality overall though. Most vids were 20-25 minutes long and overall specs matched TBP's review specs. Again, with the brightly back lit new content, washout can appear in some scenes.
NAV: Like almost every porn site I come across, navigation needs work. You get only 3 search functions (hardcore, lez and solo) and the tagging for more detailed search is too inconsistent to bother with. At least updates are date stamped. The model directory seemed complete. Page jumps are also limited.
There aren't many male actors here and, as on reviewer complained, a few are a bit rough with the girls but this isn't uncommon with Eastern Euro porn and it's not terrible. The most recent models seem to have limp dick issues but don't overly detract from the scenes.
The site does get a bit repetitive, especially the last year or so with the constantly bright lit scenes and unending parade of massage and bedroom school girl scenes but there are definitely worse things to see than hot girls having sex.
Overall, if you know what are getting into and value quality over sheer quantity then this is definitely a place to consider. I gave this site an 85 rating mostly because of navigation/search and nonexclusive content.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Thousands of pic sets and vids to tempt you.
+ Daily updates (hardcore only updates 1-2 times a week)
+ Good sized pics (2000x3000), usually 100+ pics per set and come with zips.
+ Good pricing deal at $10 a month through TBP
+ Generally attractive models and mostly known porn stars.
+ Updates are date stamped.
+ Mostly original content but what they do filters out to other sites pretty quickly.
+ Stream rates were good on all downloads with little variation between high and low traffic
times.
+ No DRM and no d/l limits.
+ Multiple download options for pics and vids including mobile.
+ Variety of scene options (solo, lez, and hardcore).
Cons:
- Navigation, search and layout are a mess.
- Prechecked cross sales on signup and ads when you log in and in the site itself.
- Upsell purchase required to see all of the Twistys content from old.
- HD vids only come in at 720p but still look good.
- Technical problems across the board, just like everyone else who has reviewed this site the last few years (explained below).
- Zips don't work on pic sets older than 2010.
- No vid and/or pic set icons for older scenes.
- Pretty generic in terms of overall scene interest and photography.
- Problem with model names, notably giving "new" names to established Euro girls.
Bottom Line:
For years Twistys (now the Twistysnetwork) was the old reliable. If you wanted a bunch of porn for a reasonable price that's what you got. Nothing flashy or niche based, just good old fashioned naughty bits in a professional package. This used to a standby site for me but with the new network design, new owners and array of issues this one is getting shoved on the back burner. Here's the breakdown:
PICS: Good pic sizes and lots of variety but that's where it ends. For their hardcore, they have one primary photographer so you pretty much see the same type of sex set after set after set. Many of the hardcore sets are heavily cropped so if you like full body shots then this ain't your site. The solo shots are better but they are pretty generic in character. Some problems with photographer using auto focus with too narrow of a focus field (pics get slightly blurry just outside of the central focus dot - probably because the pics are just HD screen grabs from the video shoot and the photographer can't figure out how to change his settings).
VIDS: HD maxes out at 720p but it was good quality and no issue to me. You get in browser playback but it was incredibly choppy - I had to go to the download option and watch there. I lost the ability to hear sound after watching 6 - 8 vids and had to exit the site and re-enter to fix it (sound just fine when downloading though). I had no problems downloading vids like some other recent reviewers noted. Vids usualy 15 - 30 minutes (shorter on the solo, longer on the hardcore).
NAV: This is the part that chapped my ass. The site underwent a major overhaul and like most software upgrades, you often leave some functionality behind. Here it was A LOT of functionality. The site is all flash based but there is no in site flash navigation. If you open a set on page 5 and use your "back" button you go back to page 1 every time. You have to right click and open every scene in a new window or else lose your place. Since you can only move up to two pages at a time you need be careful on a site this sized.
Advanced search is pointless since it relies on tags and the tagging is inconsistent. Model directory seems complete but names on Euro girls are sometimes different.
You lose the ability to download zips before 2010. Also, around 2010 you lose the set / scene icons (all it says is "no pic available") and those that do exist aren't representative of the content or even the model.
You need to upgrade to see all the older / oldest content they have.
Most of these sites (7 in all) simply update across the board with most of the content. This isn't new but it is a pain since if you have to do a lot of digging if you want to see as much as possible (each scene says which site it was updated to but this isn't reliable or consistent).
Overall, this is a decent glam oriented site. However, it could easily be more and better but simply chooses not to be. They've obviously cut their budget and it shows. So, for $10 you can't really go wrong but don't expect to be wowed.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
+ A boat load of scenes and models (about 4500 scenes)
+ About 8-10 updates per week across a 27 site network
+ Excellent navigation, can search by model, site or across the network
+ All scenes have pics up to 2500x1600 with zips and multiple video options with true 1080 HD on scenes added since late 2009
+ Model directory (with actual info!)
+ Good price at $20 a month (I got in on a special $10 price)
+ Pretty much all hardcore across a variety of genres from teen to milf
+ Excellent production values and usually an attempt to build some story line into the scenes
+ Lots of ability for users to interact on the site (ratings, forum, comments, etc)
+ Good download speeds for me - consistently in the 500 or more MB/sec range across multiple channels
Cons:
- As usual the older content (before mid 2009) lacks in quality (no HD video and only 900x600 pics)
- Tags are inconsistent so not a reliable way to do a comprehensive search
- Only about 14 sites update.
- Their motto might as well be "Home of big tits and bit tatts". The majority of models would make silicon valley envious but there is something for about everyone here except softcore.
- Cross sale on signup and advertising on the site and when you log in
- A slew of "bonus sites" that are just tube quality streaming videos
- Too many pics. Many scenes have over 1000 images which just means endless pics of the same thing.
- Although not really a negative, most all the models here are certified porn stars so if you're looking for fresh meat, you won't find it here.
- Nothing terribly original about the scenes so it can seem a bit stale after a while even across the wide genres they cover
Bottom Line:
It's been almost 5 years since I was last here and I mostly stayed away because of the low quality pics and "bit tit, big ass, bit tattoos" theme that most of the sites focus on. However, I decided to jump in on a $10 a month special through TBP and have to say I was pretty impressed. There's a reason why this in one of the biggest and most popular porn sites out there. Here's the quick low down:
PICS: Older pics (before mid 2009) are only 900 to 1000 by 660. Since then, the size is great and so is the quality. You don't get download options though. My only beef is that there are too many pics with some scenes having over 2500 pics. A few sites have done better keeping them around 200-300 but most updates still have around 800. I'm glad they don't give you too few pics but I really don't need 15 shots of the same thing. With the large pic sizes, some zip files end up being 600 - 800 mb in size which is just unnecessary.
VIDS: As noted, before 2009 the vid quality is average at best. Since then the HD stuff looks really good. You get up to 7 download options (full HD to mobile sized), in browser streaming which works great (very little lag time), screen caps and 1 or 5 minute screen caps which appear just below the video to let you jump to the good stuff. Download speeds were fast and consistent. Vids range from 20 to 50 minutes. I found that I downloaded a lot of "SD mp4" files (lower rez but formatted with HD dimensions) which look pretty good on my 23" monitor and saved on the 2-5 GB full HD size.
NAVIGATION: The more I review and look at porn sites the more I see sites that just grow too big for their original navigation systems and become, at best, a chore to slog through. Since my last join here years ago they have completely revamped their navigation and it freakin' actually works well. Only a few clicks will get you where you want. You can browse through a 1000 pics and with two back button clicks you're out to update page for any site. You can search in various ways except really the tags because they're inconsistent but then I've never seen a really good tag system on a large site.
You can create favorite lists, the sites track the scenes you've looked at that you can easily access and there's lots of opportunity to give feedback and interact if you're into that. The model directory has actual info and lets you follow porn stars.
OVERALL: I'm not really into the big tit slutty porn star thing but I found that I downloaded about 500 photo sets and about 80 vids so I can't say I was disappointed. You got teens, milfs, uniforms, bit butts, big tits, squirting, etc. to choose from so unless you're into softcore or lez you should be able find a few goodies.
Production values since 2009 are great and you get a ton of models.
My negative impressions are mostly minor. A few broking links, the site bogged down my Firefox browser after 2 hours (probably need more ram), and even with all the sites and models the porn does get a little repetitive but then again this is a pretty mainstream porn network.
While I'm not ready to sell out and go sign myself up for life to the silicon boob of the day club I was pretty impressed with the site. If I were to score it just on content and production value it'd only be in the mid 80's but the well thought out navigation and ease of use are some of the best I've seen which bumps up the score to 92. At last, a pleasant surprise.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Access to 26 site network (no access to their parody porn site which they are best known for today)
+ Thousands of scenes available
+ Mostly exclusive content (some DDF and lesser known site scenes tossed in)
+ Decent price of $15 month through TBP
+ Almost no download failures
+ Network updates about 4 to 5x a week but only on a few sites
+ Lots of good looking, mostly American girls
+ Mostly good lighting and professional shooting
+ Videos have screen caps, all scenes have zip download option
+ Bills thru Epoch, no cross sales on signup and easy cancellation
Cons:
- Lots of recycling of content between various sites and some recycling of older content. A lot of content can be found as updates on 2 - 3 different sites in the network.
- All but a couple of sites are dead or infrequently updated
- No real ability to search, no model directory, updates are rarely dated
- No HD vids, all are 640 x 480
- Download speeds vary from 800 KB/sec to about 50 KB/sec depending on time of day but was mostly around 100 to 200 KB/sec
- No stream options in screen but you can watch a stream via a media player but it's almost impossible to jump ahead or back except at lowest band width.
- Pics only come in at 1020 x 680 but there are zips
- Too much use of fish eye lenses, especially on pov shoots (vertigo here we come).
- Very repetitive in terms of scene layout
- Network feels lost, not really a pic or video network, just a compilation of stuff that hasn't changed in years.
Bottom Line:
There was PU poll question this week asking about the first porn site you ever joined. While this wasn't the first for me, it was certainly a staple for me back in the late 90's and early 00's when 800x600 pics and postage stamp sized vids were standard issue. Unfortunately time has passed this site by and this is probably my last visit here. For uninitiated, this network is 90% hardcore with a few lez and solo shoots tossed in. Here's the overall skinny:
PICS: I primarily joined this time since I'm more of a pic guy. Although the pics going to back 2007 are 1020 by 680 I still get good resolution on my 24" monitor with them. The oldest content is 600x800 and is functionally useless. Most sets have 100 to 200 pics. The bad news is that they seem to be cutting back to only a few dozen so-so quality pics per scene in the last year. There is a fair amount of fish eye lens use on some sites which hurts after a while.
VIDS: Let's face facts, this is not a video site. Your only option is 640x480 .wmv downloads (or the same for ipad/psp). The psuedo stream function is marginal at best. Some of the vids even look sort of bad this level of resolution but everything going back to 2008 looks decent. Downloading is a chore given the slow speeds present for most of the day (it's currently taking me over an hour to DL two 450mb vids).
NAV: Navigation on the network was apparently developed during the internet stone age. Each site comes up in a new window. No search engine period. You can only look up models for each individual site. I frequently found myself digging through my download file to see if I had nabbed the same scene off of a different site on the network because of the recycling of content within the network. A number of sites stopped listing dates on updates to make it seem like they're not dead.
OVERALL: The only sites that continue to update regularly are Freshoutofhighschool, Newsensations, UnlimitedMILFs and Jizzbomb. The main emphasis on them (except the milf site) is younger porn stars. There is a fair amount of uniform and other outfit shoots which I like as a nice change of pace from the usual porn offerings today. The action is usually pretty good, the girls are pretty good looking and there is a lot of content provided you are willing to deal with what is now average at best quality. That's why I gave the network a score of 77.
However, this network just seems to be treading water until the owners can no longer make money offering what they have been doing for so long. I see no reason why a network that's been around for so long can't make the leap into the 21st century by offering HD vids (some of the nonexclusive DDF material can be had in HD on the DDF sites) and bigger pics (a few sets do offer 1500x1080 sizes here, apparently someone forgot to "dumb them down"). Like I noted above, this network just seems lost given the lack of high quality vids and the new found emphasis on limiting the number of pics per set. The lack of navigation and search adds to the sense that this place is just going through the motions in hopes of grinding out a buck or two. For those PU readers who hold on to a sense of nostalgia about the "good old days of porn", I offer up this network as an example that the good old days weren't always so good in comparison to what's out there today.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Exclusive content that updates 5x a week.
+ Good $10, 30 day membership through TBP.
+ Great 2500 x 1700 pics with zips and true 1080 HD vids with good download speeds. 4 DL options for vids including mobile device sized. Also streaming available with good speeds and ability to jump within a scene.
+ Smallish watermarks
+ Attractive girls (18 - 30 range) with few "enhancements". A good mix between porn stars and more unknowns, at least to me.
+ A unique site in terms of the artistic and hardcore factors it tries to combine.
+ A good mix of content (about 40% HC, 40% solo, and 20% lez).
+ User ratings and comments sections and social media connections.
Cons:
- Tags / search engine is poor.
- Navigation needs an overhaul.
- Some ads on main page and when logging in.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup.
- The "artistic" feel the site is trying to convey gets lost with bad lighting, bad composition and iffy camera / cropping work.
- Very few positions shown for all scenes.
- Has a model directory but with very little info.
- You get timed out somewhat quickly and there are capcha's every time you log in.
- A fair amount of photoshopping and post production effects going on.
- More complicated than usual cancellation process. Web based cancel system doesn't seem to work (call or use email -- aka: don't wait until the end before trying to cancel). Also, must cancel at least 7 days before end of 30 days to keep from getting rebilled.
Bottom Line:
This is my first voyage into the world of "heartcore" / "lovecore" figuring it looked like it had great quality and would be something different. True, it was different. You won't find anal, dp's, gagging and the like here which is fine by me. I'd like to think that years of overexposure to gonzo porn and too much degrading porn (sort of the default it seems) has made me so jaded to my inner sensitive new age guy. However, even using that standard of measure this site just didn't seem to add up for me. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: The setup looked good. Site has about 125 HC, 56 lez, and 106 solo sets (all have 100 or more pics) and the pics are quite large with zips. However, it quickly broke down. When viewing in browser, the default setting is for a slideshow but you can click to a thumbnail layout. If you click on a thumbnail and go back a page you get the slideshow again. Way too much clicking. You can only view the full sized pics by DL'ing the zips; the inbrowser view is only 800x550. Additionally, you can't even see all the thumbnails and the way the thumbnails are laid out (horizontal as opposed to the usual vertical) you have to use their in browser "forward arrow" which is clunky at best.
There are several photographers working here and most seem to be too damn artsy for their own good. Lots of scenes use natural lighting which results in dark pics and lots of shadows. Also the default seems to be to have the camera in a fixed position which limits the angles and views we're used to seeing.
For hardcore, there is a big focus on foreplay which results in only about 2 positions for actual sex. Given that the camera seems trapped in a fixed position for many scenes the result is that it often feels like your watching a scene from some 1980's Hustler where they couldn't show actual penetration, you just sorta know they're doing it. The lack of positions comes across in the lez and solo stuff too. I guess I like more variety as opposed to just soaking in what's in front of me.
While you get about a lot of pics per set, most of it seems to be a mosaic masterclass - here's a pose but in one frame you get a head, another the torso, another a leg, here's another with some artistic blurriness, etc. The vids are better in this respect but it does gets frustrating regarding the pics. I guess when I think artsy I think of some originality and professional output. A lot of these scenes feel more like someone who knows photography but hasn't shot porn before and isn't quite up to it.
VIDS: About 130 HC, 120 solo, and 60 lez. In browser stream works great and the HD is real HD which looks great ... meaning it's only as great as the way the scene was shot. My main complaint with the vids is their composition and artsy feel which is mostly identical to the issues I outlined in the "pics" section above. A lot of the vids have music in the beginning, some music go throughout.
NAV: Yet another site that built a navigation system when they were small and it no longer works for beans once they've grown. I already groused about the in browser pic issues. The scenes have tags but they are limited. If you search under tags, say "brunette", you'll get a result saying there are 182 scenes. However, it will only bring up 30: there is no way I can see to show them all. The tags are too few (some scenes are mistagged too) and too generic given the number of scenes they have.
If you poke around under their 3 general categories of HC, solo, and lez you'll find that recent updates aren't included. The only way to look at everything is to go through every page of updates - which only lets you jump back or ahead a few pages at a time.
I give this site an 82 because of the quality, the amount of content and the hot girls. However, for me they missed the boat on what they were trying to achieve. This is not porn for women since the focus seems mostly centered on the girls and there is no real talking or kissing-centric theme and the HC ends with a body or facial cumshot. The softer artistic side of porn put forth here seems to get washed over by the crop / framing jobs, low lighting and one position camera angles in many scenes. Those who like artsy porn may be interested in this but I think that for most the HC isn't the hardcore we're used to seeing (and not just the gonzo / rough sex stuff, just the composition in general). The softcore / lez stuff with an artsy feel is done much better by places like HegreArt, MetArt and the like.
I guess I went into this with my hopes set a bit too high. I think this site would work best for someone who digs softcore and art photography and might be looking to try some hardcore. If, like me, you have more of a hardcore background then you're more likely to walk away disappointed.

Pros:
+ Almost 800 scenes of nothin' but hardcore banging.
+ Exclusive content.
+ About 100 true HD scenes and large sized vids in general.
+ Professional quality production and lighting.
+ Good full trial price of $3.50 for 2 days (see review below for tips on saving $$ for more time).
+ Good DL speeds, various format options for vids and streaming in browser.
+ High quality pics, all with zips.
+ Good model directory and generally good search.
+ All updates are date stamped for future reference.
+ Multiple language options and a mobile viewing option as well.
Cons:
- Not all HD labelled vids are HD.
- Search options for pics are worthless.
- Content gets a bit repetitive.
- Currently updating 2x per week but starting in 2012 and going back expect only 1 update per week at best.
- Prechecked cross sale on signup.
- Some content seen on other sites and some photographers work isn't up to snuff for DDF work.
- As usual, oldest content isn't that high quality.
- Some content recycled from other DDF sites and the date of publication here may not be when it first came out.
- Need more screen cap previews for the vids.
- Since I last joined they've removed some of the earliest content. Granted the quality wasn't the best but still not bad compared to some other major sites today. Wished they had kept it or remastered it.
Bottom Line:
I last joined HoH about 4 years ago. I signed up for the 2 day trial expecting only to be able to grab a year or two worth of material. To my surprise I was done downloading in about 6 hours and I don't use a DL manager or have super fast high speed connections. The lack of updates over the years was about the major downer though. Here's the skinny:
PICS: All scenes have zip downloads and the last few years have pics coming in at 2000 x 1300 pixels. Even the oldest content is roughly 1600 x 1070 in size. The tags for photo search are worthless if there even are any. You can tag individual photos with info for others to see (don't know why you'd do this). No real ability to slideshow the pics. Multiple size options available. Some airbrushing on sets.
VIDS: All scenes have vids with the most recent allowing for wmv and mp4 download options. Some older vids also have divx or quicktime. All but the oldest material has streaming video with ability to jump around to get a good preview. I had consistent DL speeds of about 1.3 MB/sec on multiple channels. At best only about 80-100 vids are in true HD, most HD labelled vids are just HD size. Starting in 2008, the vid sizes get down to medium size (720x400) and the oldest years don't even get that big and come split into the scenes. I wish they had more screen caps in order to preview the vids without having to stream and jump around to decide if I wanted to DL or not.
The site allows you to search by category, date or tags. The model directory is good and has background info. There is some blog material and social media stuff but no one appears to do much with it. They also let you customize the site with favorites and similar items if you stick around for the long haul. There are some special discounts for other DDF sites and independent sites that pretty much match what you can find on TBP. However, if you want to join other DDF sites or the DDF network they do offer a 50% off the first month discount. So, my advice is join on a cheap trial and if you want more hit the discounts page, a better deal than what TBP has going.
Generally speaking, DDF puts out a consistent and high grade euro porn product. This site is no different but, if you've seen their sites before, you pretty much know what you're going to get. In that respect, there isn't a lot of imagination that goes into putting the scenes together and so some of the content does get repetitive. Overall, if they hadn't been skimpy with their updates the last 3 years or so I would have scored this in the 90's. So, if you like hardcore of all varieties you can't really go wrong here.

Pros:
+ Full access 7 day trial for $10 through TBP
+ Almost all original content. Some shared DDF and Holly Randall content.
+ Lots of content: About 650 hardcore photo sets and 4800 pic sets overall and all sets have zip function. About 1500 videos.
+ Membership includes Suze Classics for those looking to fill their 80's and 90's porn fix (that site factors into all the stats mentioned here).
+ Newest pics have 2400x1600 resolution and newest vids are HD with 1080 resolution. Newest vids have a stream option and multiple download options including wmv and mp4 files.
+ Good consistent download speeds of between 1MB - 2 MB/sec up to 6 channels.
+ Starting to remaster some of the old content
+ If you like glamor porn this is probably one of the best sites to visit. Has porn star from today back to the 80's.
+ Multiple weekly updates and all updates are dated for future reference.
Cons:
- Search function and tags are a mess and not real helpful.
- There is a model directory but no model info.
- No screen caps or ability to preview vids. I couldn't make the stream function jump ahead, I had to wait for the movie to buffer in order to jump while watching on line.
- Quality takes a nose diver prior to 2010 with no HD vids and pic sets maxing out at 1000x1600 with most sets having smaller pics. Older vids don't have stream capability so you have to download them to know what they're like and the quality can be almost unwatchable by today's standards.
- Fairly generic porn with mostly known porn stars.
- Some advertising on each page.
- There is a forum and FAQ section but it looks to be pretty much dead.
Bottom Line:
I last joined this about 5 years ago and dug it since it had a lot of content, decent pic sizes and decent videos for the time. However, time is not always kind and this site has been left a bit in the dust and it's caused me knock 8 points off of my original score. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: I still this site primarily as a photo site. There are more vids now but pix are what Suze got started doing back in the 70's and this is what Holly Randall, who does the shoots today, mostly focuses on. Tons of pics but most sets have less than 50 pics which is a bit skimpy. The sets, at least the older ones, also have jumbled material so when you look at them online or unzip the folders the content doesn't progress smoothly from beginning to end. This was the case 5 years ago and is so today. The oldest material (probably half) has pic sizes that work only if you view porn on your phone. They are slowly (I mean slowly) remastering some old stuff into larger sizes but only by scanning the original pics which results in some graininess. Everything has zips.
VIDS: The newest vids are great but there aren't a lot of them. As mentioned, the lack of a preview or screen caps isn't fun, especially when probably 2/3 of the vids don't have in browser stream options. The quality is all over the board to on the older vids, some are fine and others aren't worth it. Personally, I got frustrated because I'm not going to DL and watch a slew of vids just to see if I like the content.
NAV: Navigation, in a word, "bites". The navigation is the same system they've since they opened I think and it shows. You can search pix by tags but you can't search videos this way, you have to search all "hardcore" for example to find the vids mixed in with the pix. You only get 10 search results by page and you can only jump ahead or behind by a few pages. When you have 100's of scenes with the same tag this is a pain. Also, if you relied on the tag "hardcore" you would think they stopped shooting hardcore in 2010. Nope. You have to look under different tags to find the newer stuff. Some vid scenes of the same photo shoot also have different tags. A small minority of tagged scenes do not appear in the tag search results either. Basically this site is too big for this crap and it definitely hurt the final score. They need to scrap the status quo and start over on the layout and search/tag system.
I liked this site more before because I was more into glam sites since most amateur or gonzo sites didn't appeal to me. Now, when I look it and see the over saturated colors, small editors choice photo sets and porn stars past their prime doing generic scenes it doesn't do as much for me. DDF, 21stsextury, the WOW sites, teenmegaworld and others do a much better job of giving you fresh faces, quantity, quality and all in a more user friendly package.
Overall, I still recommend the site given the vast amount of original material it has and the ability to look at the "classic" porn of the last few decades. Also, a lot of the content is decent in quality and the stuff within the last 18 months or so is top notch in terms of HD vids and large pic sizes. So, it's worth a join but probably not for month, the 7 day trial is probably all you need unless you have limited time to hunt through the site to find all the goodies.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ Decent price through TBP ($15 a month)
+ Decent amount of content (about 370 HD scenes as of this date)
+ Some exclusive content
+ Regular Updates, about 5 to 7 per week
+ Huge picture sets with zips and has multiple options for the size of the thumbnail galleries.
+ Good download speeds on vids (600-700 kbs, up to 6 channels using a broadband connection)
+ Multiple view options (stream, HD download in .wmv and iphone / regular formats in Quicktime)
+ 3 bonus video sites (note, most of the vids listed in the TBP facts section counts these vids)
+ Has a "My Favorites" where you can tag favorite scenes and you can leave comments on scenes and rate them.
+ Bills through Epoch
Cons:
- A lot of this content is available through the teenmegaworld.com site. However, the quality of the content is better here.
- Navigation needs updating
- Search function needs a lot of work
- Not Firefox friendly (could only download vids using Internet Exploder browser)
- No screencaps but when looking at the flash movie you can jump ahead quickly through the scenes.
- No model info or real model directory
- No FAQs page or help page, all requests for help must be sent via email.
- More download options on the vids and pics would be nice.
- Cross sales on the signup page
Bottom Line:
It's been a while since I sniffed (not snuffed) out some young Eastern Euro hotties and this site fit the bill and the budget. It's primarily a teen hardcore site with about 20% of the content being solo or lesbian. There's also a fair amount of anal action as well.
PICS: The pics are freakin' huge clocking in at over 5600 pixels and they have zips. Even the old pics are over 3000 pixels. While most sets have 100 - 200 pics I wish they had more as they are somewhat repetitive and the action doesn't cover a lot of positions. You get to chose your thumbnail size but, sadly, they only show 25 thumbs per page. There is a slideshow but it only works with the default low rez photos (about 900x600). To see the hi rez stuff you have to zip them or click on the low rez photo and have a new window open up that shows the high rez photo. The only zip option is high rez.
VIDEOS: As I said, good download speeds and the movies are about 20 - 30 minutes long. Again, the vids are good size (see TBP for all the specs, they seem accurate). Sadly, you can only download in HD using .wmv but thankfully they're not massive files (around 1 gig per movie). The iphone and regular movies are only available in Quicktime but they still look good. Each movie is available in a flash stream mode and you can jump around fairly quickly. No screen caps so watch the flash vid or scan the pics to see if you like it. Like I said, I couldn't get video downloads to work in Mozilla (old and new versions) so some of you might not dig that.
NAVIGATION: From what I've read, this site seems to have grown a lot in the last year and the growing pains have caught up with it. There is no model directory or model info. The scenes are poorly tagged so typing in a search request gives you spotty results at best. There are only a couple of general categories listed so that's no help either. You best bet is just to page through it all but that's a pain in the ass too. You get 12 scenes per page. After that you can either go "next page", "back page" or "last page" to jump to the end. They really need a page jump system and they need jump capabilities at both the top and bottom of each page, not just the bottom like they have now. Too much clicking and scrolling right now.
I also don't understand why they have a bunch of "tube video" stuff on each page and as a category. This is a pretty good quality site that I paid money for so why would I want to look at nonexclusive tube quality videos? Sometimes more is less though some may disagree with me on this one.
The bonus sites are nothing to write home about. Mostly second tier movies and amateur stuff (no HD here, just normal vid sizes) through some other service. Nothing exclusive or new about them as is typical with most bonus content. Like the tube video stuff, I'd say they've grown enough where they really don't all this extra stuff at this point to justify the price of admission.
Overall, the quality of their content is very good and the girls are mostly cute (no heavy set types here). If you've recently joined teenmegaworld then I'd pass on this site unless you want to upgrade the quality since it's far better here than at that site. Given the price and quality it's a good site. The nonexclusivity of a lot of their content, the navigation and the search issues hold this site back a few points but still worth it in my book.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
++ 30+ sites, 1700 models and 4100 scenes to keep you busy
++ Very good tags and cross site search functions
++ Lots of video options, especially the new stuff, and goes up 1080p
+ Cool function on the new videos where you hold your mouse over the play back bar and it shows what is happening during that section of the movie
+ Lots of social media and site interaction if you're into that stuff
+ Good monthly price through TBP
+ Others have said that the "live" section was gone in earlier reviews but it appears to be back, at least in recorded form.
+ Lots of American girls
+ Professional lighting and production value
+ Lots of options available for customer support and I got a prompt reply to my one issue.
+ All the content besides the live shows is hardcore
Cons:
-- Not enough pictures and they're low quality (don't join for the pics)
-- Problems with downloads using Mozilla and with older scenes
-- Slow site at times (they need more servers)
- Cross sales on signup
- Stupid social networking keeps popping up
Bottom Line:
I sort of joined this site at a bad time given I didn't have a lot of time to use it during my month and I'm sort of in a porn burnout phase. Nonetheless, I had mostly good experience but there wasn't enough to give it a top notch score that with a little effort this place could achieve.
PICS: Don't join for the pics. All scenes have pics but even the newest scenes max out at about 60 pics with a size of about 900x600. Too few and too low quality that could easily be solved. This site will never cross 90 for a score in my book so long as this continues. Also, when clicking a photo to bring it up to full size, you automatically go into slideshow mode even if you try to turn it off. All pic sets have zips but generally the pics on the network need help.
VIDS: The newest vids are great. You have mobile and "normal" download options. Sizes go up 1080p on the new stuff, older vids generally max out at about720 or 480. All vids have full scene or partial scene D/L options. All vids have stream options although even with a broad band connection the streaming was jumpy when trying to view it above 480 resolution. Download speeds were OK at 400 to 500 kbs. With older vids I sometimes had problems getting them to DL in the .wmv format (the only option available) because the screen taking you to the download page wouldn't download ... how's that for irony. As noted, the newer streaming vids let you mouse along the playback bar to reveal what action is taking place in that part of the scene. There are no screen caps though.
OTHER: Search is great. Scenes seem well tagged and the search engine is very good and comprehensive. There is no real model info though beyond the name. Navigation needs some work (a fair amount of clicking sometimes).
There are a fair number of boob jobs and the chicks, while most are US born and bred, are mostly average caliber porn stars. Not much anal but the site is mostly hardcore. Lots of niches with 30+ sites but the theme is pretty constant throughout the network. All high production value except the pics.
The social networking aspects are probably the best I've seen including a wiki (just a link ofr now) and a forum and user feedback galore if you're into that sort of stuff. The damn social networking needs to just go away though (pops up every new screen).
The site can be slow at times and I didn't like the fact that when viewing a specific models portfolio (many have multiple pages) that when navigating you always have to go back to page 1 even if you last on page 6.
So, there is lots to see and get involved with. For me, the pictures are a big negative along with some slow navigation and downloading issues. Overall, it was worth the money but I'd like to see some changes before I go back again.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
++ $1, 1 day full access trial (bills thru Segpay)
++ Big pictures (up to 4300 pixels, but most sets are still in the 2500 pixel range) with zips
++ Exclusive content (for me anyways, other reviewers have said different but I don't know and haven't seen it elsewhere)
+ Good sized vids (720x540 on most, a few are bigger) and d/l options (wmv, mpeg and quicktime as well as flash streaming)
+ Movies have screen caps to see what you're getting
+ No DRM
+ No cross sales on signup
+ About 680 vids and 300 pic sets
Cons:
-- Pretty amateur in terms of quality and performances
- Picture sets don't offer a lot
- Slowish download speeds (1 gig = 1 hour of download time on my highspeed connection)
- Search and navigation need work
- No scene downloads, all or nothing
- Cannot jump around within the scene while using the streaming video option
- Camera work could be better (too often the guy seems glued to one spot or has a few focus issues)
- Page often has to refresh when going back and forth from it.
- No model info, just the name
- A couple of video updates a week, pics don't update anymore
Bottom Line:
I checked this one out on the el cheapo trial to see some exclusive Eastern Euro puntang. That's what I got but it didn't exactly leave me with that "Charlie Sheen drinking tiger blood with the goddesses winning" feeling. This site is focused on hardcore younger girl porn and that's what most of the scenes are. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: All pics have zips and they are pretty big. The problem is that there isn't much content. At most a couple of positions and because the photographer won't move it isn't uncommon to get no view of the old "in and out". When your getting almost 200 pics per set and only a handful are good, that ain't good. The newest stuff can be slow download (can you say a half hour for one zip set) because of the large files. Some pics were out of focus too. Lighting and quality varies a lot. If you're into pics, this place won't satisfy you.
VIDS: All the vids were good sized and I didn't have any sections that were garbled from the download like some other reviewers did. The quality, angles (again, sometimes you just see bodies rubbing with no visible action) and lighting varies a lot from scene to scene. While the girls are exclusive they are also pretty amateur and it shows in the performance, not much excitement from most of them. Yes, it beats gonzo screamers but this is pushing it towards the other extreme. You do get screen caps and you'll need them because the stream option can only run from beginning to end, no jumping. Download times, as mentioned, need some help.
NAV: No real navigation other than the pics and vids home pages. No tags, no search engine, no model info. It is more of an amateur site but it is getting a bit big to have non of this info and still be functional.
OTHER: They do have some social networking functionality within the site which I never bothered with. Overall, I wasn't all that impressed. The girls are mostly cute but many of them don't put much into their performances. All the scenes are in Russian so you don't know what they're saying when the vids start but I bet you can use your imagination to figure out where it's heading. The camera work needs help and kills most of the picture sets. The volume of content is what keeps it in the high 70's for my scoring system.
You also get access to Spunkybee and Rough18 but the same issues I had with this site follow to those as well.
I had no problem finding what I wanted with my 1 day membership even with the slow download speeds. Certainly not worth the full $35 a month. So, I guess it's a good diversion for a day but don't expect a ton of good stuff here. Be happy with what you can still get for a buck I guess.
