Pros:
+Content is completely exclusive.
+Huge library of over 4000 videos to choose from.
+Has some of the only anal or dp videos of well known performers.
+You can stream all the videos directly online.
+All the videos can be donwloaded in the MP4 format and medium resolution is 960x540. You can also download multiple videos in the 1080pHD format as well.
+Over 360 4K videos.
+There is a very active forum where fans and members can interact with each other and with Pierre himself.
+The vast majority of performers appear to have multiple orgasm during their scene.
+All of the performers have an interview video that can include hardcore sex.
+For a small increase in the join price you also get access to Pierre's "wake up n fuck" site.
+Seems to add more North Americans to his site than in the past.
Cons:
-Most of the videos are POV in nature so that limits the possible viewing angles.
-Pierre is usually the only male performer in the videos.(not a problem for me but worth mentioning).
-Something that many people complain about is that Pierre likes to hold on to some videos for months if not years so that although you know it exists. Better be very Patient because it will take longer than you want to see that video.
-Some of the content is many years old so video quality can be quite poor.
Bottom Line:
**In my opinion there have only been two men who were able to get unknown women to do porn and they are Ed Powers and Pierre Woodman. Ed has long stopped doing it while Pierre is still going strong. Both men relied heavily on tripods and hand held cameras to shoot their porn because the women would have been uncomfortable with another person in the room. For that reason it tends to limit the kind of shots one can have but in return you can get content that few have managed to copy/emulate.
*Because Pierre is usually the only male in the scene than you have to be a fan otherwise the scene will not be worth watching. I am a huge fan because Pierre knows what he has to do to get the women to orgasm and in an era where gonzo is master and women fake it to such a level that it becomes comical. You still have places like here where it may or may not always be real but it always looks like it is.
*The biggest complaint people have toward Pierre is that he will tease his fans with a scene that you know exist because he will have shown a pic from the video but he will keep under wrap for years. Not sure why he does and frankly I don't care because while I might have to wait for that particular video to get released. I will get plenty of others that will be just as good while I wait.
*This may seem strange for some but I find that many of his interviews are somewhat bittersweet. The reason is that he has been doing this for such a long time that many of the women who first appeared in those interviews are now long gone from the industry and seeing them when they first started to the way they looked at the end is a little sad.
*I didn't put pricing in the cons because I think that site owners should charge what they want and in Pierre's case he more than deserves the price he asks for but be advised that his pricing is in Euro.

Bottom Line:
I had no real interest in joining this site until I started doing some research on it. I’m glad I did because this is an interesting and well done site. Pierre Woodman is probably the best known director from the Private studio and he’s responsible for a lot of high quality porn. I’ve seen some of his casting videos on other sites, and as someone who is interested in BTS material this was a really good fit.
The site can be broken down into several broad categories: casting without sex, casting with sex, BTS and hardcore DVD scenes. Currently there are 1950 casting scenes, 731 hardcore casting scenes, 162 BTS scenes and 416 DVD scenes from various Woodman movies. By any measure, that’s a lot of porn and it is especially impressive when you consider that most of it is exclusive.
The scene set-ups are frequently the same: the model comes in and there is some interviewing, there may be a break in filming while the model showers (off camera) and then there is some nude posing. The biggest difference is in whether or not the scene progresses to hardcore. A lot of scenes are hardcore. The pros of the hardcore scenes are that many of the models are new to the business and seem genuinely nervous. They’re clearly consenting, but I get the feeling that many of them didn’t intend to do hardcore on a casting shoot. If you’re an anal sex fan then you’ll love the fact that Woodman is able to coax anal out of many of the models. The sex is hard without being abusive, and it is definitely hot. The cons for most of the hardcore scenes is that Woodman is a one-man show: he’s the cameraman too. So for many of the shots the camera is on a tripod or Woodman is doing some (often) shaky POV. The camera issues don’t usually detract from the heat though.
One definite drawback for many subscribers will be the language issue. The overwhelming majority of the models are European and many of them speak little or no English. This can detract from the heat, but thankfully most body language and sex are universal.
The videos are available in a variety of formats and resolutions. Obviously the older videos have fewer options. But if you only want HD scenes there are still lots available. The HD videos come in at 1920x1080, 8,000kb/s and 25fps. Those are impressive numbers. Subjectively they look great. 1280x720 and 960x540 are also available. Videos are also available in mp4s and WMVs, though the higher resolutions are only in mp4.
The site doesn’t ban download managers, but at least with the HD material the site won’t allow the scenes to be queued up for later download. This is a pain for a lot of reasons, but mostly because with the average size of a 1920x 1080 at about 3GB you’ll be hanging out in front of your computer for a while.
Streaming is also available, with three options for resolutions available.
Updates are regular, with several being added six days per week. This definitely adds to the value of the site.
Speaking of value, many will find the near-$40 monthly fee to be high. I prefer to think about value rather than just cost, and on those terms $40 is a great value for what you have access to. The bottom line is that this is an innovative site with some damn good porn with some beautiful women. Woodman is famous for his Casting series, and browsing through this site the viewer can see why: instead of being repetitive it is hot and sexy. Yes, there are flaws, but those are far outweighed by the positive aspects of the site. I definitely recommend this to anyone curious about this niche.
(An additional, extra cost add-on to Woodman is his “Wake Up ‘n Fuck” site. This doesn’t have a separate listing here but I recommend it even though it isn’t cheap. The premise is essentially the same for each of the 99 scenes currently posted: Woodman lets himself into a hotel room where there is a sleeping model. He pulls back the covers and lets his camera roll over the model’s naked body. Then she wakes up and they fuck. The sex is usually extremely hot, the models are usually extremely hot too. In most scenes there is some anal sex too. Most of the scenes are shot POV style. I have to admit that the reason I joined Woodman Casting was to get a discount for WUNF just to get access to Asphyxia Noir’s first anal scene. It was worth every dime. Do yourself a favor and add this is you get a Woodman membership. The Woodman technical specs listed above apply here too.)

Pros:
Tremendous content, women are beautiful, great hard pounding scenes.
Cons:
1 out of maybe 5 videos is an actual casting that involves sex. There are 89 pages of videos with 15-20 girls a page. They are either 15-20 minute video of girls being interviewed, getting naked, but I guess she was not comfortable doing hard core porn. Or 40-120 minute videos of a girl doing a hard core sex scene as she is introduced into the world of porn. It's actually $38.50 for a month, expensive, but well worth if if you are a fan of the Woodman Castings Series . The language barrier can be annoying, as this is a Europe based series.
Bottom Line:
I loved this site, have been a fan of Woodman's Castings since I rented the first one way back in 2000. If you are a fan of amateur girls being introduced and in many cases convinced to try the porn industry this is for you. Great thing about it is many, many girls have to be massaged into doing the scene. Unlike Girlsdoporn or Backroom Casting Couch where the girls know what they are getting into. I

Pros:
All amateur females, hopeful for a career in porn.
Many established favorites got their start here.
High definition videos with unlimited downloads.
Over 5,000 scenes with 2-3 new ones added each week.
Pictures are downloadable in packs
Easy to navigate and join/cancel through Epoch
Cons:
Almost seems like cruel and harsh punishment to some of the younger women.
Should update more than it does. With 30 years of scenes to pull from they should have nearly daily updates.
It’s as close to real casting porn as you will see. That means some of it is nearly unwatchable.
Bottom Line:
Casting porn has been popular for a very long time, but Woodman Casting X was the first casting site I knew of. In many ways you can tell it’s an older site and not as planned or protected as newer casting sites. The models often look confused, frustrated and even in pain. There’s a feeling of no hole is sacred with Pierre Woodman as he uses the vagina, anal, oral and even light spanking with rough play with these very young models. Maybe it is best for those looking at a career in porn? They can get the bad parts out of the way and maybe define their limits.
If you are a longtime European porn aficionado you will likely see models you know and love way back early in their careers being a sex-test dummy for Woodman. The site is large with close to 5,500 videos, 2,000 picture sets and 3 updates per week. It really could be larger and have a better update schedule. I found many of the videos to be unwatchanble. It should be pointed out as well. As my first con said it seems like cruel and harsh punishment. If you’re into rougher sex and the females looking like they’re scared or timid, there is a lot of that on Woodman Casting X. It is easily the biggest con for me.
The scenes show a little talking and getting to know. Besides that, it’s hardcore sex and follows a formula of positions that I assume Woodman requires each woman to perform in. You will see some models doing anal with Woodman that never do anal in their newer scenes. I don’t know if that’s viewed as a positive for Woodman, but seems like a negative.
The videos are downloadable and unlimited. The highest resolution is 1080p high definition. The pictures are pretty good quality and can be downloaded in packs. I believe the best reason to be a member is if you like the models in current times. You will see models that you’re used to in 2022, way back in 2005 or 2009 for example. It maybe shows how much a model progresses or regresses in her willingness to perform for a shot at fame and money.
Epoch is used to sign up and cancel, they are fast and easy at both, and the navigation is also easy to use. It is tough that the biggest con involves every scene and could be a problem for some. I just skip over the harder scenes. Great site if you like casting porn or “before they were stars” scenes.

Pros:
- Good speeds for downloads
- Gorgeous girls that are out of this world
- Girls doing their first scenes
- Plenty of anal action
Cons:
- Site is looking rather dated now
- Doesn’t say what the MP4 HQ is
- Woodman films not included in the price
- Confusing memberships with credits
- Not always great camera angles
Bottom Line:
First off signing up I was hoping I’d see a link to join both sites Wake Up and Fuck and Woodman Casting X for a discounted price but sadly I didn’t see no such option so then when I was inside the site I saw it offer me a price for both but not worth it now I’ve paid for one site. Don’t get if I missed this somehow but it was rather confusing looking into this as it goes on a lot about buying credits also, never been a fan of this system so gave up trying to join wakeupandfuck. It’s kind of annoying though as you see it show lots of these wakeupandfuck videos as well as woodman films. With Woodmans films, this is another site with older films mainly I think these are but you have to join again another site, it’s a shame these are not included in the price.
On to the downloads of vids, you get enough choices but wished they’d say what the MP4 HQ actually is as sometimes it’s a really small file into the 200sMB so not great quality, I normally like them around averaging 800 to 1GB. Most of the 1080p downloads are getting on to 2 or more GB. You also get a chance to download 4K which go beyond 5GB but that never been an option for me so I don’t look much into these massive sizes. Sure it would be great to have all my fav porn movies though on 4K versions.
I found the site is looking rather dated now and it would be nice to see a more modern version of the Woodmans site, however it’s still OK and does the job I guess, it’s got a good save vids as a favorite and they are all neatly put into a section called My Videos with its own major link at the top menu. I liked this and it beats most sites effort at doing this.
Some of the girls Woodman has met literally blow your mind and there are so many cuties here if you’ve never been a member before, you will find lots of beautiful and often innocent first timers come to these castings, it’s really interesting to hear them tell you why they are doing it and what they are thinking, so I liked this element. Another thing I liked was you got to see them in front facing pose first (love this pose myself and often not done on softcore sites which annoys me) so yeah you can see if you really like the girl early on and see if she is worth downloading.
Lots of the castings are just that small vids of an interview and a bit of nudity at the end, it can be frustrating when he meets a total stunner but this is all she does and there is no hardcore section of her, still that’s life and maybe they didn’t want to go ahead and film any further scenes. The girls are often without being caked in makeup and this is a great plus for me, they look miles hotter in my opinion and Woodman gets girls looking at their most normal and everyday dress and none of the porn clothes or makeup overload you see on other sites with the casting scenes. That said there are hardcore vids included with the site called Scenes XXX, I did notice lots of these had the girls much more like pornstars with all the porn clothes and caked in makeup for the glammed look, lots of people like this style but I’m not really a fan and would of like them dressed more like they were in the original casting movie.
It’s much more movies here, there are photos but these were mainly screencaps of the scenes, I never bothered with them at all.
On to the actual sex, it’s certainly got its good and bad points in my opinion, what I like it’s quite raw and amateur style with quite intense anal action in most of the hardcore sections, full marks here for doing something not really many sites have picked up on (I love the Raw series on Evil Angel, wished all their vids were shot with the women looking like that) so you will certainly see some good anal action and many times with 2 or 3 guys in the scene. Now onto what I wasn’t so keen on and that’s camera action, some of this is very frustrating cause you basically can’t see the right angles all the time and as its often Woodman filming himself with the camera set up on a tripod I presume you don’t get to see much of the action and it will stay like this for ages. I get it though it’s hard to achieve the right camera angles when filming this way and I knew it was going to be like this before I joined.
So yeah it’s a good site, has its flaws like most sites and things to be improved on but overall it’s a good site with plenty of unique scenes and girls that you don’t get to see naked often, never mind involved in anal scenes, some of the scenes are absolute gems and will go into my all-time best. So the last time I was on this site was 2013/2014 time and have to say there was more cuter girls back then if I’m honest but 2002-2008 was the golden era of euro porn in my eyes and the amount of cute eastern Europeans on the scene back then was simply awesome, now a days there are cute girls still but just not as many going into porn which is a shame, also tattoos are now very ripe in Euro porn like it is in American porn which is a huge shame to see I think.

Pros:
-Many attractive mostly euro young ladies
-Good sized site: 356 hardcore scenes (plus an additional 103 "beahind the scenes" hardcore sets), 1160 total castings.
-Good forum, webmaster is actually pretty active and answers questions from users
-newer movie quality is good from a technical standpoint - 1280x720 2500 kbps was the best I saw
-zip downloads of photosets, although there aren't a ton of photos
-download managers work
-no DRM
Cons:
-large watermark on videos
-expensive
-no bonus content aside from access to some of the casting DVDs
-download speeds are inconsistent, best I got was 500 KB/sec
-some models don't get naked for very long, a few don't get naked at all
-poor navigation, although I am not sure how it could be easily improved on a site like this
-photo quality is mediocre, and only about 10% of the castings have photosets
-uses a biller I am not familiar with
-some content is available elsewhere
Bottom Line:
Overall this site is pretty good and I'd recommend joining if you are a fan of casting syle videos. However, bear in mind that a lot of these videos are 90% chit-chat, 10% nudity. Some of them have sex in the casting, but the camerawork in these is pretty poor (single camera on a tripod).
His update schedule seems pretty regular, although I am not sure how long he holds onto some of these scenes before releasing them. He has a recent update of an Evelyn/Faith scene, that I would assume is several years old - although can't be sure.
The forum is quite interesting, and I believe you can access it for free. It is often curious what he says about a given model - although the forum is bilingual, with some comments in french and some in english. Either way, rare interaction you don't really see from most sites.
Overall I think this site is pretty good, Woodman definitely has a talent for getting very attractive ladies to take their clothes off - and for some to do hardcore. However, if you are not a fan of casting style videos, or are searching for particularly erotic scenes, this probably isn't the site for you.

Pros:
- Exclusive content
- Some amazing hardcore scenes
- Many beautiful European and Russian models
- Tons of anal sex (yes, that’s a positive thing for me)
- Supports download managers
- Large site (almost 500 scenes)
- Includes a sub-site with access to scenes from Private Studio
Cons:
- Wide chasm between file resolutions
- Slow download speeds
- Fewer download options than there used to be
- Streaming begins automatically
Bottom Line:
Many will remember Pierre Woodman from his glory days with Private Studio where he was behind some big-budget, shot-on-location features with many of the hottest models in the business. Those days are over it seems and I suspect the porn economy is the biggest culprit. Woodman is still making porn but it is quite different from those big-budget features.
Some people – and I might be one of them depending on my mood when asked – might say that Woodman’s current porn is better than he used to make. The locations aren't exotic – they’re shot in a hotel room, the women are beautiful but not all up to the Private calibre and the male talent is now Pierre himself, in all his hairy, middle-aged glory rather than the buff swordsmen he used to hire. But while Woodman no longer has the budget to shoot classy-but-hard hardcore in the Caribbean he manages to produce some of the hottest hardcore porn available today. Do not ever make the mistake of thinking this might be fun for you and the missus to curl up and watch lest she have you arrested for being a pervert.
Most of the scenes follow a formula: there’s an interview, some undressing and then the fun begins. That ‘fun’ usually includes deep-throating, rimming, vaginal sex, anal play and anal sex.
The scenes are almost as hard as what you’ll find at Legal Porno (without the unusual membership requirements) and almost as misogynistic as Max Hardcore at his worst. Woodman puts many beautiful European and Russian – and a few American – models through the wringer of some super-intense sex. For those who like anal, it’s fair to say that at least 90% of the scenes feature some serious anal sex.
It’s also fair to say that not all porn is meant to appeal to all people and this is a perfect example of that. Don’t join this site if you think EroticaX pushes the limits of what you’ll watch.
While the porn is amazing the site itself drops the ball. The site is a bit illogical but browsing around for a few minutes will give you some comfort.
I last reviewed this site a few years ago and either the site has changed or I made a serious error in my earlier review. But the change is so specific that it makes more sense that the site changed. The last time I looked at the site it offered three resolutions and two formats. There are still three resolutions available (now only MP4) but the range they cover is too broad in my opinion. There is a low “smartphone” resolution, an “HQ” resolution” (960x540, 1400kb/s) and then a higher resolution file. That higher resolution is either 4K or 1920x1280 with bitrates over 10,000kb/s. File sizes can be up to 15GB though!! If my older review is correct the site used to offer a 1280x720 resolution and they really should make that available again because you can’t call the difference between the file options a gap – it’s a wide chasm. I try to download the file that offers the best balance between clarity and file size but the available options here don’t allow for that compromise.
One thing that hasn’t changed is a minor complaint: when opening a scene page the scene will start streaming automatically. Make sure your speakers are turned off before accessing a scene.
To add to the problem is the fact that the download speeds are much lower than I’m used to. I usually see speeds between 22 and 25 MB/s but here I had between 3 and 5 MB/s. Downloading one of the 15GB files at those speeds would take a long time but the site does support download managers.
The site currently has close to 500 scenes. These are all exclusive and most are more than an hour long. The site appears to be updating but not on any regular schedule. Some updates are only a day apart while other times ten days may pass between an update. I suspect that a lot of this is due to Woodman pretty much running a one-man show.
The membership includes access to a sub-site call “Scenes XXX” which gives access to a lot of Woodman’s older work. The scene resolutions are the same as with the main page. The main page might be interpreted as including two other sites – Wake Up N Fuck and Woodman Films – but that interpretation would be wrong. WUNF is a stand-alone site that requires a separate membership and it appears that WF uses a PPV or similar model. There’s still good value for your membership here, but don’t join expecting wider free access. (Though I highly recommend checking out WUNF.)
The intensity and rawness of the porn is enough for me to wholeheartedly recommend the site to anyone who likes those traits. There are several serious flaws and what bugs me about those flaws – the lack of a ‘middle’ resolution and slow speeds – is that they could be easily fixed making this a much better site. I’ll definitely be back again and again, and I hope the next time I join I’ll find 1080p videos and fast downloads.

Pros:
- Pierre is very active on the forums, this is one of the few porn forums where people post daily and the webmaster answers questions.
- 315 hardcore videos of new girls, a lot of them very hot. A lot of anal, but nothing too rough or degrading. It really feels like the girls are having a good time.
- The long interviews and the behind the scenes add to the whole experience, if you like amateur models.
- decent download speeds
- regular updates.
- Videos come as wmv and mpg and the newer videos are HD. Not too many download options really...but the streaming worked perfectly and I ended up watching a lot of stuff on-line.
Cons:
- Very, very disappointed with the photosets. They look very good, but you only get 10-30 pictures. Not worth it really ( BTW asked Pierre about them and he said he will never upload more photo sets).
- Most videos are in English.
- Many of the casting scenes that have sex are from one angle and they all have Pierre. There are other scenes in there, a lot of them with other male models, but about 100 or more are one angle Pierre with a girl.
- Disappointing that there are so many casting videos with girls that never appear again.
- The watermark was a bit distracting as it's huge and it's a spider on the new videos... a bit awkward.
- Not download manager friendly. Took me forever to download a few videos as it kept signing me out.
Bottom Line:
If you want to enjoy this site you have to be a fan of casting videos with innocent young looking girls. You have to be willing to accept long interviews and some awkward moments during the sex scene (in one video the girl refuses to do oral and we get 10 minutes of Pierre arguing while his but is towards the camera)
However, these little accidents put you closer to the action than any site I have ever seen. These are real amateurs, not porn-stars and you get to see them awkwardly fumble on camera. For me that made the whole site well worth the steep price. For other people it will probably be a turn-off.
Another nice aspect is the fact that you get to see some girls go from the casting to a professional porn shoot and the change is amazing. You can see it's the same girl, but now she has professional make-up and professional lighting...it makes for an awesome contrast.
I also loved the forums and discussing the videos with Pierre, he really seems like a nice guy and I will probably hang around the site for a while just to support him.
I only hope that he adds better photo galleries and more hardcore scenes. Right now there are 300-ish hardcore scenes but over 2000 casting videos (an interview and the girl strips).
So, bottom line is this place better than the Brain Pass? Probably not if you're looking solely on value you get from you money. But you get to support a dedicated porn producer who finds a lot of sexy girls and convinces them to do anal and deep-throat in a non-demeaning way to the girl.
There are a lot of areas of the site that need improvement, but Pierre is working on them and hopefully this site will become a great place in the next years. In the meantime I recommend checking out firstanalquest and backroom castings as both of those were close to what is done here.

Pros:
- Over 1600 casting scenes (interview with the girl and softcore stripping), 594 Hardcore scenes (about half are actual sex scenes and half are casting+sex) and 146 behind the scenes videos.
- Around 636 casting photo sets (softcore stuff) and another 156 hardcore photo sets. Each set only has around 20 images or less, but they are available as zip archives and are pretty high quality at around 3000x4000
- Older content is lower quality and oftentimes just a few minutes long (for the casting and BTS, hardcore scenes are all around 25-30 min) However most sex scenes are available at 720x520 with most stuff from the last year or so as high as 1920x1080.
- Various options for downloading a scene, and very fast servers. No more time-outs or random log-outs when I set up a long list of downloads (see my negative comment from last year)
- A few improved ways of navigating the site (you can select to see only girls with sex and you can filter the girl's nationality)
- Hot models!
Cons:
- While navigation improved in certain areas it could still use a better search function (right now the search bar is basically useless and there is no category search for anal, threesome etc)
- While you can filter the girls by nationality a better filter would have been language of casting interview since many of the older ones are in French.
- All the casting+hardcore scenes feature Pierre having sex with the girl while filmed by a static camera... a bit disappointing even compared to the two or three cameras used by Backroomcastingcouch or Exploited college girls.
- Updates are a bit random. While we get daily updates they are mostly casting videos. I'd say some months we get two or three hardcore scenes, some months 6-7. A lot of the casting scenes feature very broken English and little nudity.
- The site advertises heavily for Wakeupnfuck, Pierre's other site which cost another 40 bucks or so.
- Some content is available on other sites
Bottom Line:
Pierre Woodman was probably the first guy to do casting videos with innocent looking girls he then convinced to do DPs and Anal. He worked for a ton of big name porn studios and has a huge library of casting videos and Behind the stage videos a lot of which are fascinating to watch.
There is nothing quite like seeing a girl be shy when first interviewed, no make up, no fancy clothes, just a girl "next door" hesitant about the porn world. Except you also get to see her doing a crazy scene with three guys a few minutes later. The appeal of Woodman is this transformation from regular girls to pornstars and this site is great for that. You get to see over 1500 casting scenes and roughly a third of those girls go on and have hardcore sex on camera. For many of them you can even use the forum and ask Pierre about juicy stories or details (one hesitant girl didn't do porn shots but hung out with the crew and had sex with them in between shooting. Another girl had her very first sex with Pierre... the stories go on and on and while they may be a bit exaggerated they add a certain Risque flavor to the videos.)
Once you consider that the girls are for the most part incredibly hot European models and almost all scenes on the site involve anal and/ or DP (even some rare double anal if you look around closely) the site is very interesting.
Another bonus (I already mentioned a bit) is the forum interaction where Pierre answers questions and tells stories about the girls. It's frustrating to hear how many of the castings also have a hardcore scene, but Pierre can't release it because the girl didn't sign a proper contract :P
Unfortunately there are some downsides too. First of all a lot of the older interviews are in French and even the more recent ones don't have very good English. I really wish they would use subtitles more often.
The Forum also uses a lot of French and there are constant promises that we'll see an update with a particular girl that does a casting, but her Hardcore or BTS video never goes up. In fact since I last joined Pierre added only a handful of BTS videos, which is really a shame as many of them are very interesting.
Speaking of updates a lot of new scenes are going to Wakeupnfuck which is a sister site focused on POV scenes where Pierre has sex with very hot models. However membership to Woodmancastingx won't even get you a discount on Wakeupnfuck. In fact the rather expensive membership here won't give you any kind of bonus features. (A while back I think there was talk of having live shows but after a few of those no more updates)
The site navigation could also use some improvement. There is a section for updates where you can see the different types of videos and there is a section for girls where you can filter by nationality and girls who have sex, but there is no way to filter a specific category of sex and
sometimes links are wrong or a girl is featured twice in the line-up. Basically the site needs a bit of re-design.
I'd also like to note that a lot of the older content here is available through Pornstarnetwork and one nice feature on Pornstarnetwork is that they put the casting and the hardcore scene in one video so you can easily see the interview then skip a few minutes and see the girl having sex. The way the site is organized now that would be impractical, but I'd like some way to queue movies.
Another frustrating aspect of the site is that whenever you click on a video the page loads and the scene starts playing immediately. This is a pain if you just want to download a bunch of videos and don't care about streaming, but I guess it might be a personal preference so I won't take too many points off. Previewing a scene could also be more user friendly...
On one hand I'm glad to see more hardcore videos than before and some easier navigation options on the other hand the price of the site is still very high and the fact that Wakeupnfuck is not included in the price is a disappointment. The forum is full of promises that more hardcore or at least BTS will be released soon but in the meantime it feels a bit strange that after almost a year absence I discovered very little new here.
Bottom Line: If you really love Pierre's stuff and want more of his stuff the site is for you if not Backroomcastingcouch or Exploitedcollegegirls might be a better fit. As it stands right now, without better browsing tools, without some sort of discount or membership to Bonus sites this is a strong 79 very close to 80.

Pros:
(1)Exclusive content
(2)Although the girls are young beautiful Europeans, they do appear to be real amateurs in real porn castings
(3)Videos can either be streamed or downloaded in WMV or MP4 format
(4)Loads of videos (over 800 total)
(5)A forum for each girl featured where you can post comments or ask Pierre Woodman himself questions about the girl or the casting itself
(6)There is a very small handful of stellar HD quality videos
Cons:
(1)Price tag is outrageous 29.90 Euro translated to $42.54 USD two days ago when I joined
(2)No bonus sites included with membership
(3)Most of the content is outdated (dating back to the late 1990's / early 2000's)
(4)Aside from the handful of HD videos, most of the video quality is consistent with the standard of when it was shot (Late 1990's / early 2000's)
(5)No picture galleries
Bottom Line:
This site features photographer Pierre Woodman while casting several potential models for his porn shoots. The site currently has 736 castings posted, but only 70 of them involve hardcore content. In general, the content is exclusive and unique, but the price tag is huge at $42.54 USD. Especially since most of the content dates back to the late 1990's or early 2000's.
Also, since Pierre Woodman is French and most of the girls he is casting are either French, Russian, or Hungarian, a wide majority of the interviews are conducted in languages other than English. There are a small handful that are either done in English or translated to English, but the majority are not.
So, I'll start by discussing the 70 hardcore castings. These hardcore castings are extremely hardcore! The videos start off slow with Pierre talking to the girl for a long time before she even begins to undress. But once the action starts, Pierre shows no mercy on these chicks. All of the hardcore castings include rough sex, rough anal, ass spanking, and hair pulling. It is not as extreme as what you would find at sites like facialabuse or sweetloads, but the girls don't seem to expect him to get that rough with them, so it is a turn on to see their reaction to it all.
Contrary to the 70 hardcore castings, the 666 softcore castings are extremely softcore. These scenes also start off slow, but then they end with the girl simply getting naked and doing a few poses for the camera. There is really nothing special about these scenes other than the fact that they seem to be real European amateurs, in a real casting shoot, for a real porn company. Again, very few are done in English though. So unless you are fluent in foreign languages, don't expect to understand what they are talking about.
This site also includes some generic hardcore scenes that were shot for other Pierre Woodman movies. These are generic hardcore sex scenes, and outdated just like most of the castings. However, the scenes all feature girls who have casting shoots posted in the casting section, so it is somewhat interesting to compare the amateurish looking girl in the casting shoot to the hardcore porn star that she became in the hardcore scene.
To wrap things up, this is a unique site that can be a nice find for people that dig the unique content, but the price tag is insane if you're not into the casting concept. Especially since the scenes are outdated, not conducted in(or translated to) English, and not in super quality. If you are considering joining, and would like a list of the castings that contain hardcore content or are done in English, just let me know.

Pros:
+ Huge variety of scenes (casting soft, casting hard, straight hardcore, fetish)
+ 4k downloads available
+ Almost every known and unknown EU porn star and the occasional US star
+ Good browsing filter
Cons:
- Confusing payment / coin system
- Quality varies
- Annoying watermarks
- Older videos in the update queue
Bottom Line:
Woodmancasting has some sort of 101 for EU porn stars. Almost every european porn star has met this guy.. and some of them have had his fingers stuck in their butts. When I realized, that Natalia Starr was in theportfolio with a hardcore scene, I decided to give it a try and rejoin the site. My last stay was about 2 years ago.
First off, the sheer ammount of material is pretty impressive. Woodman must have been one of the first guys to shoot in fullHD. The castings are basically all the same. A few minutes of talking, the usual Woodman finger-in-the-butt initiation (for whatever reason) and then a hardcore scene that can get pretty rough, often with 2 or more guys.
Besides the casting scenes, there are also regular hardcore scenes with different settings and themes. Some of them nice and gentle, the majority of them with lots of slapping and spanking. It might not be everyone's taste.
Before I joined the site, I was thinking about purchasing a bunch of coins to download the one scene I was looking for. I then had to find out, that one scene costs 5 coins, which is about 21$. Full price for 1 month is 29$. Not exactly an exciting deal to be honest.
There is also some sort of loyality project going on. If you remain a member for x months/years, you will get a discount on coins and full acces prices for the sister site WakeupNFuck. Someone must have made a huge spread sheet to figure all this out. However, I wonder how many people are acutally taking advantage of this, because the discounts are rather low and a bit confusing.
Also, there is a feature scene thing going on. One particular scene, which seems to be in high demand, is only available for coins until a certain ammount is reached. Then, it will eventually go fully live. This week, it was the scene of Kiara Lord... shot in 2013! Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, Kiara is long retired by now. Oh, and when it finally goes live, it's streaming only for 5 days.
Then, there is this annoying obsession with watermarks. Every scene has one huge permanent watermark slapped from one side of the screen to the other. If the action somehow happens in the lower part of the screen, the watermark will jump to the top of the screen. Occasionally, smaller watermarks are whirling into the screen too. Subtlety is certainly not the core competence of the video director.
Technically, the scenes are mostly well shot, although they are sometimes struggling with proper lighting and the camera is a bit shaky from time to time. If you are going for the 1080p downloads, prepare to get a cooling system for your network cable. The files are HUGE. 6GB average, the longer scenes up to 26GB. Yes.. twenty-six.
Looking at my review so far, it sounds rather negative, although it's not meant to be THAT negative really. This site is still a strong contender in the casting / amateur / porn star niche and quite unique in it's style. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but then, what is?

Pros:
-Gigantic library of videos.
-Good Interaction from Pierre in the forum.
-Some Exclusive material.
-Videos can be streamed or downloaded in WMV and H.264.
-The sites updates regularly.
Cons:
-Downloads speeds aren't very fast. A 20 minute video may take from 20 to 45 minutes to download.
-You usually can only download 4 videos at the same time.
-The quality of the videos is hit and miss. The older content has not been remastered and it shows.
-THere is a very large watermark at the bottom of each video.
-Many of the videos are only interviews.
-A cost of 30 Euros makes it harder to justify for North Americans.
Bottom Line:
I've seen many of Pierre's movies. I enjoy his style and he often gets girls to do stuff on camera that they have never done and may never do again. The majority of the content on this site is taken from interviews that he's done over the years. Some videos contain actual sex with Pierre but many are just the interviews.
Since a large part of the hardcore found on the site is of Pierre with a performer then you are stuck with a POV view taken from a single camera on tripod. I knew that going in so it wasn't a problem but for those who dodn't then you might want to reconsider.
My biggest disapointment with the site is that I was hoping for more exclusive material. As it stands you can find some his content on Videobox since they have a couple of Pierre's movies.
I can't see Pierre going for many more years without going all exclusive. How many people will be willing to remain long term members or even be a returning member when a large part of the library is of poor quality and available elsewhere?
On Woodmancastingx with the model AngelRush with the video published on 2017-01-18 around 1:21:31 in the video the upper part of the skin is shiny, and the lower part of the skin is matt. My conclusion is that condoms are being used. (content made September 2016)
With the model OrnellaCyan looking at the video published 20171204 at 49:37 the skin is too shiny, and I think condoms are used. (content made March 2017)
With the model JennyGlam on the video published 2014-08-31 at 36:13 you have a visible condom (not hidden with computer software), and in the same video at 51:02 you have a small horizontal lighter part (maybe a condom masked with computer software) that indicates a condom is being used. (content made April 2014)
With model JennyGlam in the video published 2015-03-08 at 16:30 and also at 17:22, the upper part is shiny and the lower part is matt, this suggests that condoms are used (possibly making it less visible with computer software).
With model ViolaBailey in the video published 2017-01-10 at 1:07:29 condoms are used. (content made March 2014)
With model EmilyCutie in the video published 2019-05-14 at 46:38 condoms are used and at 51:48 the upper part is shiny, and the lower part is matt. Condoms are used. If you look at 1:01:29, then the range of colours suggests that condoms are used, and masked by using computer software. At 1:01:38 you see the shiny aspect of the condoms again. (content made May 2019)
With model Ivana Wilde in the video published 2019-04-10 at 35:14 the top part is shiny, and the colours are different between the upper part of the balls and the part above that. Condoms are used and being masked with computer software. (content from April 2019)
Of all the pornsites, I have found Woodman Castings to be the best site. The content and videos are unique and different to other sites.
The only minor thing I find with the videos is the angles are limited and the videos especially on the site ''WAKEUP N F**K'' are zoomed in too much.
I find this especially when the girls are doing doggy style, the video is zoomed in too much and you cannot see the whole video or the girl. The doggy style scenes are too short along with the zoomed in angle of the video.
The scenes with doggy style need to be longer and with more angles than just a zoomed in angle.
Going to the homepage of this site one sees many great items, but when one goes to join he finds out that access to all of the items on the homepage really costs 49.90 Euros, not 29.90.
For 29.90 a user gets access to only a fraction of the items found on the homepage.
My subscription was supposed to end at 23/05/2014 according to "My Account" status. It even stated if I am unsubscribe before 23/05/2014, I will still have access until 23/05/2014.
Therefore I proceed to unsubscribe on 21/05/2014, but then on 22/05/2014, I have no longer access to the member areas. This is basically giving false information to me.
To be honest, quite disappointed with such thing. Paid for a full month access but not even able to use it until the expiry date if unsubscribe before the next charging date.
First off, the stated prices are not correct. The price for a 1 month subscription is €34,90.
I tried to reactivate my old account today and got stuck in the subscription process, while the CC processor was trying to query my bank. It's *very* annoying to see a processor (aloopass in that case) being unable to conenct to anything!
The website does not grant you access. The ticket merchant, GTBill is happy to take payment but then no access is given. No emails to support are answered, (either by the webmaster for the site, or the ticket merchant) The password reset function on the site does not work. A real shame as a previous subscriber to the site, the content is top notch, but now it just appears to be a con. Beware. :(
I joined the site again after quite a long absence and while I don't feel that a new review is necessary there are some things that haven't improved with the site (and a few that have) and I figure I might as well share my experience.
There are now close to 1500 casting scenes and only around 500 hardcore scenes. This is really disappointing, especially considering a lot of the content is old or can be found on other places (Videobox for one or pornstarnetwork) There are some great new scenes that have been added (Aspen's casting is great) but overall I am not sure that this network is worth the very high price, especially since Wakeupnfuck is not included.
Nonetheless, the most disturbing thing for me was a change in Pierre's attitude. He seems really, really concerned about piracy, to the point where he is making it harder to download videos in his member area. I used to be able to download a bunch of stuff overnight, but now the site logs you out after a while. When I mentioned this on the forum Pierre said that he wanted to make it harder for pirates to download his stuff... while I understand his concern, I was a paying member who never stole his stuff and he was making it harder for me to download the scenes I wanted.
Not sure if anyone else had similar log-out issues, but it kinda left me disappointed.
Other than this new log-out the site is pretty much unchanged from last year and everything I said before applies... without the optimistic tone that I had in my previous bottom line, I doubt anything will change for the better here.
The logo "Woodman Casting X dot com" is very large and annoying, placed at the bottom of the video screen. I'm surprised more people don't complain about it. You don't need a very large watermark on the videos (or photos) to identify your company. A smaller, discrete logo will do just fine, or no logo at all.
When you go through the previews of this site and click for example on "462 HARDCORE SCENES", you get list of scenes under three categories:
-CASTINGS + SEX
-WUNF
-SCENES XXX
Are these all included in the subscription? The comment below suggests that at least in May that was not the case but it's certainly misleading if those are separately billing sites. WUNF site has no pricing info or anything.
WUNF site has no entry here in TBP/PU, is there a reason for that? Everything else appears to be on the main Woodman site so I guess all but WUNF is at least included?
As this site won't be listed as an individual site here, figured I would just post my thoughts on it here since it is a woodman site.
+girls are attractive
+HD video quality is pretty good
+support is responsive
+good forum (same as casting)
+multiple video download options
-very expensive for what you get, only like 33 scenes as of now
-updates seem sort of random, and pierre is a pretty big tease on the forum
-most scenes self-shot similar to casting
-SD quality is very poor, so you pretty much need to get HD and these files are huge (3-5 GB)
-Download speeds have been subpar 100 KB/s - 200 KB/s, this coupled with the large file sizes is a bit irritating
-Not sure why this isn't just a free bonus to the casting site given how small it is.
-most material is self-shot, so camerawork can get iffy
-no photos
I would give this site a 70, some of the content is good and the girls are attractive, but it is small, downloads are annoying (slow, timeouts, etc). I'm not sure where they came up with the price for a site this sized. And while I like the content, it is hard to get at, and far too small for the price given what else is out there. Even though the individual scene prices are steep, I probably would have been much better off going that route, as I will probably only keep 3...
Why does he do castings with girls on their period? Am I the only one that finds it a bit of a turn off for the girl to strip down and he immediatly zooms in on the tampon string? Maybe its just me, but a bit disturbing...
Pretty much agree with dracken's review, however, interesting site, certainly has its share of flaws, but pretty good.
