| Cons: |
-Pre-checked cross-sell on sign-up page.
-Link to terms and conditions didn't work (got 404 error - page not found) so I had to find biller's (RocketPay) website and view T+Cs from there.
-On sign-up form you have to ensure that you check the box labelled "Send email" otherwise (I'm assuming) no confirmation email sent.
-Ads every time you log in and at the bottom of every page.
-Scene listings can't be sorted.
-Most scenes have only one category tag - hardcore, which lessens the usefulness of category filtering.
-Files always downloaded with the same name - you need to specify a filename yourself.
-Some downloaded 1080p files are about 25% larger than necessary.
-No updates currently.
-Certainly not exclusive content but recycled (also see bottom line).
-Cancellation process involves emailing the customer service team. |
| Bottom Line: |
This site is a collection of hardcore sex scenes with a wide variety girls in a wide variety of scenes, which are not exclusive but many, if not all, appear to have been remastered up to 1080p from the non-HD originals to an impressive level of quality.
At the time of review there are 283 scenes dating back to 2nd January 2016 with no updates since 9th December 2019.
Scenes last between 20 and 30 minutes and feature a variety of US, UK and Euro babes both young and older. Scene categories include threesome, group sex, interracial, anal, DP and a few creampies, with themes including fucking the babysitter, fucking a MILF, casting a girl for porn and loads more. Most scene endings are facial or cum on tits, but there's cumming on ass and pussy and as mentioned there are a few creampies. Most of the content is from US studios featuring US models and some is quite old, as evidenced by there being a music soundtrack throughout those scenes and a lot of the typical "fuck! yeah!" dialog from the US starlets that was typical of porn in the early noughties. I gotta say though that the remastered videos do look very good in 1080 considering the originals would have been non-HD.
The quality of the downloaded scenes is sufficiently sharp thanks to the very reasonable around 8000kbps encoding used for the 1080p content, though quite a few of the downloaded files are encoded at over 10000kbps which unnecessarily leads to larger file sizes.
The site's functionality is good and responsive, offering everything needed to browse and download with ease, so the scene page provides a link to the model(s) info page which also lists her scenes, the scene page also lists the tags (such as creampie, facial, brunette etc) applicable to the scene, each of which you can click on to list scenes that also have the selected tag, so if you're after anal scenes, clicking on the anal tag will list all matching scenes. All tags are also available for filtering the paged scene listings. The pages are very responsive to window re-sizing: scene thumbnails grow smaller or bigger as you reduce or increase the browser window size and the site works very well on a tablet or mobile phone, so you can browse and watch content wherever you are, then if you like a scene, add it to your site favourites and then when you get to your PC, load up the site and download your favourites. With my ageing PC, I find good mobile site functionality to be a major bonus, as I usually watch the content with my tablet and save what I like as favourites, then use my PC to just download them using Firefox and the DownThemAll download manager.
The main gripe with this site are the usual advertising placements when you log in and at the bottom of each screen, though to be fair, they're not annoyingly intrusive and seem to be a feature of most paysites these days.
Also, most scenes have only one associated category tag of "hardcore", which limits the usefulness of the category filtering and linking from scenes - I found quite a few anal, DP and creampie scenes tagged this way so locating content you'd be interested in will take longer than otherwise.
Considering I recognised quite a number of the ladies in many scenes as pornstars who were last active in the early 2000s, the content is most likely recycled and not exclusive, but it's good quality and I've only seen a few of the scenes before (I've been watching porn since the late 1990s), so I'm happy with the content which is generally good quality with hot scenes. This site is also part of the Smut Puppet network which includes a large amount and wide variety of other content, so because of that I can recommend it, especially given the cheaper than average price of USD 19.99 for a month. |
