| Pros: |
-Variety of content with attractive models and hot scenes.
-Good quality content and production values.
-Good clean site layout with easy navigation, providing scene search and filtering by over 30 categories.
-Adaptive site design works well on mobile devices.
-Both scene and model listings linking to a detailed model info page.
-Updates presented as paged list of scene thumbnails ordered by release date, with detailed info and star ratings, with each thumbnail/title linking to a scene detail page.
-Scene detail page allows streaming, downloading, rating the scene, adding to favourites and adding comments. Model names link to a list of their scenes.
-Photo sets provided, viewable as a gallery in the scene page and downloadable as a ZIP file of 2000x1333 jpeg files.
-Good download speeds if using a download manager (but see cons) with no limits.
-Video downloads are MP4 files at 1920x1080, 1280x720 and 864x480 with mostly reasonable file sizes. |
| Cons: |
-Not exclusive content.
-Pre-checked cross-sell on sign-up page.
-Link to sign-up T+Cs not working: got error 404 - page not found, so 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.
-Clicking on category tags doesn't work across the network - see bottom line.
-Varying download speeds, esp. when not using a download manager.
-Files always downloaded with the same name - you need to specify a filename yourself.
-Some downloaded 1080p videos are about 25% larger than they need be.
-Older content isn't available as 1080 HD.
-Some sites have no updates since months ago.
-Some scenes are missing the scene description, though suspect this won't bother too many folk.
-Cancellation process involves emailing the customer service team - see bottom line. |
| Bottom Line: |
-This network of 1500+ scenes comprises the following sites:
>3 Way Fuck - threesomes
>Black and Big - BBC action
>Blondes Love Dick
>Brunettes Love Dick
>Cougar Kingdom - older ladies and young guys
>Dark Sodomy - BBC anal
>Do The Wife - cuckolding
>GenLez - lesbian
>Golden Slut - mature ladies and young guys
>Granny Vs BBC - mature ladies fucked by young BBC
>Group Fuck Site - group sex
>Mature Fucks Teen - older guys fucking teens
>MILF Sodomy - matures anally fucked
>Smut Merchants - general hardcore
>Sugga Bunny - ebony girls fucked
>Team Fucks Girl - group sex
>Teen Erotica XXX - teen girls
-Much of the content on this network is hot, but not exclusive as I found some of the Teen Erotica XXX content on bang.com for instance, though the low joining price does make this site worthwhile, as the interracial, cuckolding, teen and MILF content are hot.
-Inconsistent download speeds sometimes mean you're better off closing your download manager and resuming the downloads another time - the site allows you to do that, indeed I never encountered any issues with resuming a previously paused download from the previous day in the Firefox DownThemAll download manager.
-No download limits but I did encounter an error "Your account has exceeded the allowed number of simultaneous downloads. Please wait for an earlier download to finish before trying again" but that was because I had a lot of downloads queued at the time.
-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 relatively new tablet, save what I like as favourites, then use my ageing PC to just download them using Firefox and the DownThemAll download manager.
-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 design is very functional and responsive, offering everything you need from a porn site to make getting at the desired content straightforward, 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 have the selected tag, so if you're after group-sex scenes, clicking on the group-sex tag will list matching scenes. All tags are also available for filtering the scene listings.
One one major issue I found was that the tags will only link to content from the site you've joined, so if you joined the network via Golden Slut for example, then clicking on say, creampie, will only link to creampie scenes within Golden Slut, whereas I know for sure that there are plenty of creampie scenes in the other network sites. I've informed the support team about this, they've passed it on to their technical team but so far I've heard nothing further about it. If you're going to join this network I'd strongly recommend you do so via smutpuppet.com rather than through one of the network sites.
-The other gripe I could level at this site is the cancellation process: when clicking on the support link at the bottom of the site's pages, there's a cancellation form which you fill in with your username, email and subscription id (as per the membership confirmation email) plus the site you joined. The only problem is that the cancellation form doesn't list all of the network sites, so if you didn't join Smut Puppet directly, you may need to email the customer service team with your details in order to cancel, so I recommend you leave plenty of time to cancel to avoid your subscription auto-renewing before customer service actually read your email.
-Further gripes 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.
-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 for about 20 years), so I'm happy with the content which is generally good quality with hot scenes.
-Given the cost of $19.99 with everything included it's great value for money especially given the quality of the content, so overall I recommend this site. |
