Pros: |
1) 1000's of models
2) High quality video
3) Excellent glamor type photography
4) No DRM
5) Extremely fast download speeds (300K - 400K)
6) Friendly, helpful technical support
7) Daily updates: 4 photo sets + 1 video
8) Previews of upcoming content
9) Very well designed rating system
10) Awesome TBP price, for $20 you can't beat it |
Cons: |
1) Proportionately (10%) not alot of hardcore
2) Hardcore content is older and lower quality
3) Requires a Download Manager, many failed download attempts without one (not really a bad thing!)
4) Many of the models are similar type (also not really a bad thing!) |
Bottom Line: |
Twistys is primarily a glamor model site similar to ddgirls in many ways. You'll find alot of high quality images and videos of glamor type models, most of which are exceptionally beautiful. What you WON'T find at Twistys (vs. ddgirls) is a high price tag, extra charge for "extreme" content, or DRM protection.
Many of the models have similar body types (voluptuous, large breasted, glamorous) so some users might consider it repetitive. However the quality is excellent, the models are beautiful and have great smiles and camera eye contact. If you are a fan of glamour type content (or if you've enjoyed ddgirls) then you will definitely not be disappointed.
There is a ton of content on the site, most models have many photo sets, and it is very well organized and quite easy to get around. The site is highly responsive and fun to browse, and extremely easy to get back to what you were doing if you get distracted while looking for a particular model or set.
Users can rate the models (1-10) by photo set or video, and the votes are tallied, allowing you to browse by rating, alphabetically, or by update date. There is also an impressive search engine and a "find other models like me" link that will keep you busy for a long time.
Rarely do you find a site that is even better then its preview was. If you like the preview then you'll love the site. |

Pros: |
* Very high quality videos
* Major reality: personal model comments, real performances, they claim to be just being themselves
* Unmistakable, professional style
* A TON of content: 100's of models, 30 minutes video on average per model
* Original site design: Each model has her own descriptive magazine cover
* Comments from videographer are humorous, especially when he describes his difficulty controlling himself
* Some famous models in a different light then you would see them elsewhere |
Cons: |
* Photo sets are small compared to other sites, and are often just recaps of the videos
* A bit too kinky for some: speculums, cucumbers, squash, fruit, shoes, panties, bottles, garden hoses...pregnancy?
* Some model comments are a little too real, some attitudes are a real turn off in my opinion
* Some might find some shoots boring: Going out to dinner, talking, shopping...hey, I'm not on a date here!
* The same video formula followed for many models
* Could use more international women |
Bottom Line: |
It's difficult to say something new about FTV girls: High quality content, hot models, original ideas, very professionally done, weird object insertions...
I've had my eye on this site for years, but never joined. With all due respect to the site, the parade of panty stuffing, fruit and vegetable experiments, shoe heels (ouch!), bottles, garden hoses, gynecologist's office examinations, and even the occasional pregnancy I think cross over the line from arousing and end up more in the fetish/circus category. Obviously the subscribers like it, it is always tastefully done. You can tell the models would never do anything they didn't want to, so perhaps I'm just being old fashioned. To each his own I guess.
Also questionable is the several minutes of video of each model walking around, flashing, going shopping, eating... Personally I find this boring, but again to each his own.
However, there is a TON of awesome solo content more in line with conventional tastes. The models masturbate "as they would at home" and this is where the site really shines, letting the models do what comes naturally. Often they wear their own clothes and have input into how the sets are photographed and filmed.
Just like some dates don't go well, some models have an attitude problem! This may be a turn off for some, but hey, you still get to see her naked.
Bottom line: Grab some tissues and get ready for reality. Check your glamour fantasies at the door. High speed connection a must. |

Pros: |
+ Alot of models, most are extremely hot 9's-10's
+ Among the best solo video content on the web
+ Huge amount of content
+ No DRM
+ High quality images and videos
+ Easy to navigate, alphabetical model index is well organized
+ Only $18 until October 1 |
Cons: |
- Too many confusing categories: Dreamgirls, Dreamheat, Creamgirls, Raw Heat, Girlz-on-Girlz, Toi Story, Seasonal Spotlight, ????
- Photo sets tend to be split across categories
- Different mixes of the same video: a very softcore version as well as an "Extreme" version
- Some women look bored or overly posed in the photo sets
- Alot of makeup and airbrushing |
Bottom Line: |
Stephen Hicks has set many standards for photography, and this site illustrates the reasons why. Extremely beautiful, almost surrealistic women perform for your enjoyment. I won't belabor this point, if you haven't checked the site out and you're a glamour or solo model fan, then this site is a must see, for at least 1 month.
Also old news is that this site has dropped the DRM, which is a huge improvement.
Where the site falls apart in a bad way is with the categories and the division of content. The category names I listed above are real (believe it or not) and it is difficult to tell which is which. Perhaps these are just artifacts of when the site was split into an "extreme" section that used to cost extra, and the "normal" (read: softcore) section. What makes no sense at all is with all of the closeups of lubed up women, many of which you can find in the "normal" section, I do not understand why similar content is split off into "extreme" - which often just has more closeups or more "spread-eagle" shots. Don't get me wrong, the photos are hot, but the split up of photo sets and videos into the different confusing categories gets tiresome fast.
However, if you're willing to put up with the categories, and stick to the model index, you can find some excellent content, you just have to piece together the photo sets on your own. Also, the "extreme" solo videos are among the best I've seen.
Bottom line: Very hot solo models, tedious categories.
UPDATE: No major changes to my comments, but a score increase from 84 to 88, and also for continuing to offer the $18/month deal. Compared with other glamour sites, this is one of the best, in spite of the crazy categories. |

|
Pros: |
* Lia is a total babe! A 10 in my book.
* High quality pics and videos
* Site is simple, well organized
* Fun and interesting photo locations
* Lia obviously has alot of fun doing this
* Lia tries outfits/toys given to her by members in newer sets
* Preview content is a very good example of what you'll find inside
* Did I mention Lia is a totally hot babe? |
Cons: |
* Mostly softcore and posing, very "Playboy" like, but very beautiful
* Alot of tease without follow through, especially the "girl/girl" content
* Sets can get repetitive
* Lia is a bit shy in her earlier videos
* Thumbnails of earlier sets (in index) are too small to easily see
* Lia isn't the best typist - alot of her descriptions have typos/misspellings
* I sincerely doubt Lia is 19
* Okay, those last 2 were nitpicks! |
Bottom Line: |
I ended up joining this site via a free trial for $6.95/week, when I signed up with FTV girls. That's the best $6.95 I've ever spent on a site.
It's obvious Lia has alot of fun doing this. She's very genuine and that makes her that much more sexy. Her home page calls her a "dreamgirl" and I tend to agree. She is totally natural, no tattoos, only her navel is pierced, I could go on.
Lia is the kind of girl you could get off on just by looking into her eyes - almost. Personally I prefer more "getting down to business" than she does in most of her videos, although there are some more explicit scenes. Even in these though, she seems a bit embarrassed and shy, but she has nothing to be shy about! She is so sweet you could fall in love.
Lia is Victoria's Secret quality hot, and has some fantastic photosets that would put Playboy to shame. She has alot of very sexy outfits, her boyfriend must be the luckiest guy on the planet.
However, the posing can get tiresome when she doesn't "follow through". Nowhere is this more frustrating than her scenes with other girls (I wouldn't even call it "girl/girl" content). They talk, kiss, touch a little, then that's it!
Lia would score major points in my book doing a full on lesbian scene - she flirts with Alison of FTV girls in many scenes. I have a feeling one day she'll follow through with this.
Bottom line: Totally hot chick, mostly softcore content. Try to get a deal when joining. |

|
Pros: |
+ 152 Very cute and hot European models, a few absolute knockouts
+ Lots of sexy looks and eye contact, almost makes it like you were there
+ "Must have" content for solo surfers
+ Zip photosets offered in many different resolutions: from very low rez (500x750) to very high rez (3300x5000)
+ Videos in 2 resolutions: 640x480 WMV and 720x528 DivX
+ Updates 2 to 3 times per week
+ Even the content from 3 years ago looks just as good as the newest content
+ Tour is very accurate, looks just like the site
+ Good deal for $20, they deliver what they promise
+ Clean, simple website design with _almost_ no ads
+ Fast download speeds (350 KB/sec via DSL)
+ Works with DownThemAll
+ Martin the photographer is responsive to emails |
Cons: |
- No video previews, no vidcaps, just the title and the small thumbnail are all you have to go on.
- Repetitive photo and video themes from model to model (glass toy, white linen, etc.)
- Totally set for some really sexy lingerie, but does not play up this angle enough
- Videos broken into multiple parts with different names, confusing to tell which
parts go with which
- A fair amount of tattoos, the most common being the "Klingon hood ornament" over the ass
- Most models have navel piercings (OK), a few with clitoral piercings (NOOOOO!)
- A few fake boobs (acceptable, as long as you can't see the scar)
- Too much makeup at times, Nella looks ghostly! And I normally like her but not on this site.
- Music in the videos, although it works at times, kind of like Digital Desire |
Bottom Line: |
This site reminds me of a cross between Digital Desire and LSG Models, but very toned down in terms of the presentation. Great, let's focus on the Babes not the flashy web pages!
All of your favorite European models are here, including Eve Angel, Anetta Keys, as well as a few I haven't seen. This is a small site, not gaudy like Twistys, yet it still holds its own.
The puzzling thing though, as you know a model's name can be typically the same (or close) from site to site, on here though the models use names I have never seen them under, for example:
Zafira = Adriana
Bambi = Domenica
Claudia Rossi=Christin
Lucky = Daniela
Nikki Miller = Joanna
Eufrat = Marina
Peaches = Nicola
Jana Malone = Stefanie
Marketa Brymova = Victoria ???
Where this site can get tiresome is in the repetition, but stepping back for a moment and thinking about it, this site is a true gem of solo feminine content, and once you get the hang of how Martin is presenting these models, you will greedily devour the content.
From examining my collection, I normally download about 10% of the models from a given website. On this site however, I downloaded over 25%. There are truly some magnificent women here. If you have an active "fantasy imagination" you will love the photo sets here, for a while.
One repetitive photo theme is the "dressing gown" or "glass toy". The "dressing gown" sets are often wearing the identical gown as the other models, and often in the same room! That's a bit too repetitive for me, but I wish that was MY house! The "glass toy" sets are also repetitive, but I like glass toys, so it's not bad, just letting others know what to expect.
A repetitive video theme is with the model nude in bed asleep under white sheets (many models have a "white linen" video). It's a nice fantasy, but if you are willing to suspend your disbelief, these videos are very sexy and ease into the action slowly. To their credit, naming similar videos with similar titles lets you know what to expect, and personally I enjoyed all of the ones I downloaded.
DivX videos look really good, and due to DivX's high compression ratio, these files download faster and take up much less space than their WMV counterparts, and have superior resolution and video quality, IMHO. Excellent, if repetitive, solo content. Again, to the site's credit, you get what you pay for.
The only ad is a very inconspicuous upsell for eroticdestinations.com, their sister site. The ad is always in the same place on each page and doesn't flash or anything, so it's easy to ignore. One neat thing about it though, is that each model has a link to their content on eroticdestinations.com, and if you click it, you
get a preview of her specific content. This is actually a nice feature and a good way to entice you to join the other site (although I didn't).
Bottom line = Must join for solo fans for a month. |

Pros: |
1) Preview pages look good for solo girl surfers.
2) Very good video quality (640x480)
3) Responsive, friendly staff, eager to address any member's concerns.
4) Excellent price ($10) for TBP members!!
5) Some very hot models, very personal performances.
6) Very fast download speeds (280KB/sec).
7) Ipod and PSP downloads (although I didn't try this, personally I'd rather see them on a larger screen)
8) No DRM on any videos! I wish every site was like this. |
Cons: |
1) Site changed ownership recently. A few minor technical problems but they are actively working on them.
2) Not alot of models (22), on the other hand most are very attractive.
3) Only updates weekly, more of an issue of quality vs. quantity
4) No zip downloads of photosets |
Bottom Line: |
If you're a fan of solo girl content, this is a must join. Usually I find myself fast forwarding to the "good parts" of videos, not so with these. Many of the models have a way of establishing a certain type of intimacy with the camera. Perhaps it's just my imagination, however if you like what you see in the previews then you'll like the site.
On the downside, there is no zip download capability of the photo sets. I also emailed the webmaster about this and was told they did not want to provide an "express lane" for downloading photos. Fair enough, but even the big name sites do this.
They do have a browsing engine to view photosets in a "slide show" format. You can configure the frequently to view photos, from very fast to very slow. You just can't download it, unless you go into your browser cache (if you're a techie).
When I went to cancel, I would have expected access to the end of my 30 days. A couple of days after my cancellation I could no longer access the site even though I had a few days left. However the webmaster took care of this, I attribute it to simply "growing pains" with the change of site ownership.
This site is run by the same people as yanks.com.
If you like their content then you'll like this site. |

Updated: |
09-26-08 09:35pm (Update History)
Reason: Add more details.
|
Pros: |
+ Gorgeous Models
+ High quality videos
+ Remastered content from a few years back
+ Realistic, "what you see is what you get"
+ No music in videos
+ Long videos (15-20 minutes on average, some almost an hour!)
+ Inexpensive |
Cons: |
- Very clinical, lacks seduction and passion
- Repetitive photo layouts and videos
- Not alot of content, roughly 75 models
- ZIP files for photosets are broken into several files with the same names, requires alot of folder management when unpacking to keep the sets from getting mixed up
- Updates are very infrequent, maybe 1-2 per week
- Slow download speeds, does not work with a download manager |
Bottom Line: |
The other reviews here are pretty accurate about this site. There is high quality content, and hot models, but the site is rather clinical and can be repetitive.
Almost every model has the same sequence of photosets: one or two speculum scenes, tongs, the "ALS Rocket" (a device for examining the cervix), and an occasional cucumber or fisting scene. You may get the impression each model is following an instruction manual, with the same "routine" of poses from model to model. To the photographer's credit, the photosets are amazingly consistent, and professionally shot.
However, seeing each model do "the same old thing" can get boring pretty quickly. This is especially true of the speculum photosets, personally these are a bit too "up close and personal" for me, plus the models just sit there as if they're in the doctor's office, although they always have beautiful smiles.
Unfortunately, the videos also seem contrived and follow the same formula, the videographer asks the model the same questions: "so you're going to masturbate for us? Well you just go ahead..." and then the model lubes up and gets busy. There is no build up, no flirting with the camera, and the videographer always makes his presence known. Once he stops talking and the model gets into herself, the action can be pretty exciting, most models appear to really enjoy themselves and there is no faking.
If only there was more intrigue and build up, another reviewer here likened the experience to coming out Christmas morning and finding your presents unwrapped. The videos lack passion and seduction, although obviously that's not the videographer's goal. Personally I like the seductive, fantasy aspect.
One huge plus I give this site above others, is that they re-master and re-release older content. Alot of people don't like this, but personally I think it's great. If you've been "collecting" for a few years, you probably have alot of vids that are 320x240 (or worse). Don't you wish you had some of your favorite old vids in HD? Even going back into the 90's...One day someone is going to make alot of money remastering old porn classics.
Bottom line: Great quality. If you ever had fantasies about being a gynecologist, then you'll love this site. |

Pros: |
* Attractive European models, most of which I have never seen before
* Exclusive content
* High quality videos in a variety of formats
* Hot solo and lesbian content
* Updates daily
* More explicit content labelled with yellow "LSG Extreme", although tends to be more softcore
* VIP area with behind the scenes vids, extra photos
* Bargain pricing for members who stay with the site - $59.99 per year |
Cons: |
* Some high def vids have digitizing problems
* Music in some vids
* Not alot of content (about 1 year's worth)
* Small, repetitive photo galleries
* VIP area costs extra (unless you join by the end of this year) |
Bottom Line: |
This site offers a different take on glamour model content. The models are attractive and younger, in the 18-22 year old range. They wear some but not too much makeup. There are no fake breasts, the models appear very natural and comfortable. Many of the names/faces are unknown, which gives the site an amateur feel, although East European favorite Nella is here in a few vids.
The vids are offered in a variety of resolutions for download, and they can be streamed at a lower resolution so you can preview first. They offer HD resolutions of 480p and 720p. However, I had trouble with some of the 720p vids, they were grainy with digital artifacting issues, a sign of remastering problems. I really don't think it's my computer, since I can play other HD content just fine. Nonetheless, this was not a major issue, I stuck to the 480p vids which still look great (even at fullscreen), are quicker to download, and take up less space.
The site often plays up an artistic angle, with piano and other music in the vids. Sometimes this works, but I'd prefer if they offered an option with no music. In any case you can always hear the models. The photosets are small and more artistic than arousing, I stuck to the vids.
Lastly, there is not alot of content, but definitely some high quality solo and very hot lesbian vids. More explicit content is clearly labelled. If you like glamour content it's a good join for a month at $24.95, although I'd skip the extra $10 charge for VIP content |

|
Pros: |
1) New servers offer good download speeds and highly responsive browsing on my 300K connection.
2) Site managers responsive in online forum.
3) A few very hot models.
4) Almost 6000 models.
5) Free access to some Viv Thomas content. |
Cons: |
1) Most of the content from the model index is low resolution and several years old.
2) Site crashed recently and was offline for two days - but they did bring up a "new" site and are working hard to keep it going. However, many features are still not completed (as of 1/15/07) and there are some "bugs" to work out.
3) I often experienced slow download speeds (50-100K) even on the new servers from time to time. |
Bottom Line: |
This site has a TON of content. Trouble is, most of it (roughly 80%) is older and poorer quality. Many of the images have copyright dates on them so you can tell how old the 300x400 images are. Many images are grainy and poorly scanned, this happens even in some of the newer photo sets.
This site has alot of European, Czech, Hungary content, which is fun and different from most US sites. They also have some interviews of the models, it's kind of sexy to hear the model's voice, however it's likely you'll stream it once then never watch again.
There are some very hot models, and if you're a collector you won't be disappointed. In particular Sandra Shine has several sets on this site, but you won't find her under that name. She's under Judith, and there's even one set of her, when she was just starting out, under Linda.
You will also find models you've seen before under different names, sometimes under multiple names. I'm not sure which names are correct, but in my opinion this just makes things more fun, figuring out who the model "really" is.
There are many exclusive models, but alot are leased content from elsewhere. The exclusive models/sets are labelled but are mixed in with the non-exclusive content.
There's also access to a sampling of the Viv Thomas galleries. Some hot video with Sandra Shine is here, must see if you're a fan.
Bottom Line: With TBP discount, if you like teens, it's worth joining for a month. Stay longer if you like. |

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
+ Well designed navigation with multiple content indexes
+ Roughly 1000 models
+ Very amateur spin, alot of unknown models
+ Many models who are now famous, but were just starting out when photographed
+ Interview "audition" videos are genuine and interesting, you get to hear what these girls are thinking about getting into the industry, Matt is respectful and not irritating
+ Matt seems to be very open to being contacted (although I never tried)
+ Good TBP price of $14.95
+ Bonus join of "Ownmymouth.com" for $4.95 for three days, really hot POV content
+ Matt likes to drink beer, play guitar, and photograph nude chicks! That's two things I have in common with him, and one I wish I did.
+ This was a top site in its day |
Cons: |
- Most content is very dated, low quality
- Alot of "unattractive" models
- Not many new updates, Matt appears to be losing interest in his site
- Too many photos in sets (typically 150 or more), alot of repeat photos, takes a long time to make progress |
Bottom Line: |
If I ever owned a website, and was just starting out, I probably wouldn't do half as good a job as Matt has. Finding the models, photographing them, administering the website, etc., is alot of work. Matt has certainly done an exceptional job for someone that started out almost 10 years ago, and in its heyday this must have been THE place to go for amateur and up-and-coming content.
Unfortunately by today's standards, the site's age really shows compared to other sites. Most photos are low resolution, and the newer higher res ones are poorly photographed (blurry, bad lighting, etc.)
A key reason I joined was to get some early content of many of my favorites: Destiny St. Claire, Sarah Blake, Peaches, Jaime Lynn, Jassie, Jana Cova, ... Unfortunately most of this content is low quality, and I was a bit disappointed. Some photos appear to have been originally shot with a digital cam many years ago, that gives an idea of the quality, but at the same time, adds to the "home-grown" nature of the site.
Not to be rude, but alot of the models are downright ugly, admittedly that's just my personal taste. If I was photographing nude models from a newspaper ad I'd probably shoot anyone that was willing! I'd recommend taking the tour and carefully perusing the model index. The actual site is just like the tour, except you have full access to the galleries and videos.
Bottom line: An interesting history lesson for collectors. Take the tour and judge this book by its cover. |

Pros: |
+ Excellent quality photos
+ A few very hot models
+ Possibly exclusive content
+ Streaming bonus content section (although the section is small)
+ No music in the videos
+ Good TBP price of $19.90, but arguably that's still too expensive |
Cons: |
- Not alot of models
- Not alot of content
- Base price of $39.95 (without TBP discount) is outrageously too expensive
- Videos are low resolution by today's standards
- MPG video format only
- Many gaps in the alphabetical model index, many letters have zero models (I'm not just talking 'Q' or 'X' here, but letters like 'F' and 'P'. 'D', 'G', and 'R' only have 1 model each).
- Slow downloads
- Not download manager friendly
- Updates infrequently, 1x to 2x per month
- Interview videos are repetitive and uninspired, they ask each model the same questions ("Who do you cook for at home?") and the model never looks at the camera. Sophie Moone's interview is dubbed! A huge disappointment, I've always wondered what her voice was like. |
Bottom Line: |
I joined this site in spite of reading others reviews here, mainly because I was after collector's level content of Sophie Moone, Sandra Shine, Brittany Stone, and Nikki Summers. Well, that's about what I got, but not much else.
Read the intro page carefully - they state they have "63 SUPERGLAM GIRLS - 3510 VIDEOS - 157459 PICTURES" - I could have sworn it said more models at first. I believe the "SUPERGLAM GIRLS" count is correct, but I am skeptical of the other numbers. The average model has 3 videos, so just do the math and that's only 189 videos. But it's not just the numbers that don't add up with this site.
The amount of content is much smaller than I thought from the preview pages. You could easily clean this site out in an afternoon, if the download speeds were better. I had alot of trouble with "DownThemAll" + Firefox, I had to set max chunks to 1 (which cripples performance) and could only queue up the video sets. The photo sets, which are by far their best offering, have to be painstakingly downloaded the old fashioned way, one ZIP file at a time. On the plus side, they do offer multiple photo formats, with the highest being 4000px - looking at these, they do look great, but in reality they are nowhere near this resolution.
Overall an extremely disappointing site that I should have paid more attention to other's reviews.
Bottom line: Excellent photo sets, low res vids, poor site performance, too little content for the money. |
