| Bottom Line: |
I’m re-reviewing LP because the site has changed quite a lot since I last reviewed it and my opinion of it has changed a bit too.
LP remains one of the most controversial mainstream porn sites. One reason for that is what it offers is much more extreme than what is offered on other mainstream sites. Another issue people react to is that the site mostly operates on a business model that doesn’t include the typical subscription for a month of access to everything.
The system that LP uses is a ‘ticket’ system whereby you create an account with them and then are required to purchase tickets that you can then trade for scenes. It is also possible to buy the scenes individually with a credit card but the costs for this are more expensive than tickets. The number of tickets required to gain access to scenes varies widely, usually from 2 to 6.
The biggest downside to the ticket system is that it can get very expensive. I spent approximately $50 per month on this site for three years and still didn’t get all the scenes I wanted. However, I didn’t mind doing this because LP offers a unique product.
It does appear that LP is now offering a form of subscription. You can now subscribe to any of the individual studios that make up LP. What you get for a ‘subscription’ is access to that one studio only AND only access to what that studio uploads for the 30 days you’ve subscribed. That’s a serious limit.
Up until several years ago LP required an attestation that your credit card was valid. This is no longer required and you can buy tickets immediately after signing up.
The site itself is made up of several different studios under the LP umbrella. While there are nuance differences between each of the studios they are much more alike than they are different. The scenes have always pushed the boundaries towards the extreme edges of mainstream and over the past few years it appears that they have pushed even further. Most scenes feature more than just a male and female talent. They can have many different combinations though scenes with one woman and multiple men are very frequent. Almost all of the LP scenes added over the last few years feature anal sex. Vaginal sex, if it appears in any scenes, is simply an ad-on or is part of a double penetration. The anal sex is hard and rough.
Also over the past several years there has been a significant increase in the number of double (DAP) and even triple anal scenes. DAP is now commonplace.
None of the scenes have any setup or plot. The sex starts almost immediately.
There has been an increase in the number of scenes featuring women being peed on but for some reason this is edited out for the American market. (Yay Canada!)
The models are overwhelmingly from Eastern Europe and Russia though the last few years has seen a few American models. There aren’t many American models who are known for being this extreme.
As rough as the scenes are I’ve never seen anything even bordering on non-consent. I’ve bought and downloaded hundreds of LP scenes and can only think of a handful where the model looks overwhelmed.
Up until recently everything at LP was exclusive. It now appears that they are offering some softer scenes but these appear to be licensed from DDF. Don’t download the scenes from LP unless you only want one or two. A DDF subscription is likely to be better value for most. (More recently there appears to be an increase in the non-exclusive scenes so caution is advised.)
Last year LP underwent a major shakeup and it appears the dust is still settling. Two directors, one of them being a long-serving LP director was fired. There was some speculation that with the departure of these two directors LP could not keep up its update schedule. This may be a cause for more non-exclusive scenes.
Download speeds are often fast but I find times when the speeds are very slow, almost to the point where it’s best to leave and come back later. This is unacceptable for a company that charges this much for their porn.
In my first LP review I commented that the site was confusing. The site hasn’t changed but I retract that comment as I now find the search function and tags to be easy to use and effective.
Videos are offered in multiple resolutions and two different file types. VGA videos are offered though my preference has always been the MP4 files. Those are available in 720p, 1080p and 4K.
The bottom line is that this site isn’t for everyone. The porn is very rough (but not BDSM), almost all anal and even more than a few circus acts. To make matters worse, their business model is unique and not customer-friendly. Downloading LP stuff can get very expensive quickly. On the other hand, LP offers a lot of unique porn that appeals to a narrow viewer but if you’re one of those who like this style of porn then you owe it to yourself to check it out. |
