| Pros: |
- In my opinion, the very best all-around network on the internet.
- Comes with 13 sites, and those 13 sites include at least 8 sites that at one time were successful standalone sites. Eight of the sites are still updating and 5 are fairly listed as "Archive" sites.
- The navigation in its newest iteration blows other networks away. Will further in BL.
- Download speeds are very good, about 70% of my max.
- Averages a new update per day across the network.
- The amount of content across the network is reaching hard to believe levels.
- Ready for this one? Over 2,500 models. And some have over 100 scenes.
- DDF, the producer Denys DeFrancesco, helped create "Leg sex" and is one of the most copied producers and photographers in internet porn history.
- The network itself covers nearly every genre. It's the closest I've seen to complete.
- House of Taboo is maybe the best mainstream accessible kink/BDSM site on the internet and it's included. |
| Cons: |
- Two checked cross-sales sit directly over, "Yes, I am 18".
- Being used to American porn can cause a slight problem here since most of the models don't speak English. The good side to that is the men aren't talking at all in the scenes. |
| Bottom Line: |
There really isn't much at all to complain about here. I've evaluated my last 10 years of porn sites and can say this one easily is in my top 3. I like several of the American networks but DDF has consistently been working on their navigation and for me they've hit a good spot with it. Navigation on a site this large is very important.
I'm going to get the numbers out of the way since they're distracting.
- 2543 models
- 15,161 scenes, each scene comes with a video and zipped photos.
That's a lot of porn. I always thought DDF's biggest strength could also be seen as their biggest weakness. They have variance in their network sites. When you look at most networks the sites really aren't that different, they change a setting, add a few twists to the storyline and call it a different site. The DDF network isn't like that. You have sites that still focus on solo girls, posing, teasing, masturbating. Then they have a couple of lesbian sites. Throw in a couple of hardcore sites. And a kink/BDSM site.
I think for DDF's experience to be understood, one has to consider how successful these sites were as standalone sites. I know at one time, on PU's parent site TBP, three of the sites included here were in the top 10 of overall review scores. I can tell you I paid $29.95 for One By Day, for Hot Legs and Feet and for Euro Girls on Girls. I don't remember what the standalone price was for Eve Angel Official but I paid whatever it was.
I do think that separates it from the American networks. And if it's not known, you can actually still join the sites in DDF Network by themselves for a reduced price.
I can't say I've ever really liked Hands on Hardcore but that's mainly because at this point, I really don't like most hardcore.
The archive sites should be mentioned since these are most likely aimed at collectors. They include Cherry Jul, Sex Video Casting, Eve Angel Official, Sandy's Fantasies and Hairy Twatter. Sandy's Fantasies for those who are curious is the lovely Zsanett Egerhazi aka Sandy from Club Sandy. This content of Sandy is from the earlier years of her career and features one of the most viewed Euro lesbian sets of all-time, it's Sandy vs Sophie Moone, two of the most popular Euro models of the Euro porn boom in the mid-2000s. They were also a part of the group that I once called, "The no take dick six". That name came from watching multiple interviews of Eve Angel, Sandy, Sophie, Sandra Shine, Mia Stone and Peaches. Their English or lack thereof led most to answer, "What's the most you'll do on video?" with, "No take dick, no, no."
While I'm having fun at their expense, they were the models who interested me the most. I couldn't understand how 6 European models who were from Hungary could have that much power over their scenes.
And if you like them, they have over 500 scenes just of those 6.
The big change that led the network to a 98 is the navigation. I don't think many people question the quality of content at DDF but the navigation has been really bad in the past. You could click something and end up on Google, bad redirect urls, dead links, it was terrible.
Now, as of 2/6/2018, you sign in to a hub. Across the top are the names of the still updating network sites. The hub itself shows all updates to the network. Say you want Hands on Hardcore. Click it and the hub reloads with only Hands on Hardcore content. Not good enough? Go directly to "sites" and pick your favorite, you now have a brand new search engine that will just search within that site's content. And you can just search through models and see all their content.
So, why the -2? I didn't put it in cons since it's a minor problem and not to make fun of DDF's tech group but every time they try to fix something, they break it! If you want to go to one of the archive sites you have to sign in one time. It doesn't move seamlessly to them like it does the active sites. That's pretty minor so I took 2 points off for those cross-sales and the biller is Vendo, who I haven't ever had a problem with but those cross-sales could easily be re-checked if trying to click the age consent.
Other negatives aren't worth taking points off like older content not being HD, that's accepted at this point and I'm afraid if we keep complaining about it they're going to start removing it.
Even with my high score, I don't join DDF Network more than twice a year. I mainly focus on the 1byDay, Hot Legs and Feet and House of Taboo content and have all the archived content already on a hard drive. I really think at least 4 of these sites deserve a standalone review but will probably limit it to 2-3 of them.
The active sites are: 1byDay, Euro Girl on Girl, House of Taboo, Hot Legs and Feet, DDF Busty, Only Blowjob, Hands on Hardcore and Euro Teen Erotica. There's still an emphasis on glam but it's why I just join twice a year. I still like glam to a point and they are shooting the best solo sets.
I'd recommend it to anyone. |
