| Pros: |
- The site that makes me join Adult Time
- They are up to 328 scenes and update once per week
- The Adult Time access, with all the good and bad that comes with that
- About as dark and risky as mainstream porn can go
- Solid acting and pretty models
- Production is top-tier as is the technical quality
- Never have listed this as a pro, nearly always good choices in casting
- Good download speeds at 85% of my max download speed |
| Cons: |
- Still not for sure the site is better than its predecessor Pretty Dirty but that’s as much a compliment as negative.
- The Adult Time navigation |
| Bottom Line: |
I first reviewed Pure Taboo on 12-3-2018. It was the site that Adult Time caught my attention with. The site has grown a lot since then. At that time, Pretty Dirty and Pure Taboo only had 318 between the two sites. Pure Taboo now has 328 scenes just by itself and you can still access the Pretty Dirty scenes too. Sticking the word “Taboo” in your site’s name is a risky idea. Some of this content isn’t close to taboo. Some of it is very close, or as close as you’re going to get to taboo. They are relying on you to use your imagination on most of the scenes to see the “taboo”. Which is why it’s risky.
The other reason it’s risky is there really isn’t that much taboo you can legally do in porn. That’s creating a heavy reliance on the viewer’s ability to suspend their reality. It works for me. This is how I always watched porn. The scenes, in what shouldn’t be taken as an insult, remind me of the glory days of Vivid. There is chemistry between the actors and actresses. There is a feeling they really are pulling off believable acting in porn. I do believe the mood, lighting, build-up, story, plays a major role in that. There’s 10 or more minutes of story and build-up before the clothes come off. For those that didn’t experience the Vivid glory years, they had entire scenes with no sex, it was leading into the next scene. That’s back when we watched porn on DVDs.
The technical part of the scenes is as impressive as you will find. There are download options for the videos from 160p to 4K, an unbelievable 8 different resolutions. The photo sets could be better. They are generally small in quantity of pictures with 35-50 pictures and they’re not studio photo sets. They are downloadable but even as a photo collector, I don’t download these. I am sure the thinking there is these scenes are made to be watched as videos to get the story and that would make the pictures less important.
I am going to review Adult Time as a whole since I reviewed it in its very early stages a few years ago. For this Pure Taboo review I will just say the Adult Time navigation has all the makings of great navigation and potential I talked about in 2018 but it’s still not very good. It carries over to the sites including this one.
The Pure Taboo scenes create a feeling of uneasiness in the viewer and that, to me, is the taboo with these scenes. I am not that into the most hardcore porn but Pure Taboo can get me to watch it. That is a big reason for the high score. Someone is doing something right. The scenes are long, at times, I even feel like the scenes are too long. It maybe enters the area of unrelenting or punishing even. There’s more of the taboo they are creating. I believe their taboo isn’t in the “story”. A secretary is seduced by her boss while his wife is behind the whole idea. That’s not taboo. That probably happened somewhere in America yesterday. The taboo for me is there is something going on with these scenes that are touching nerves in the viewer. The viewer then needs to make the connection to whatever nerve that is. It then becomes taboo. Two middle-aged buddies are watching a football game and one’s daughter’s friend comes over to study. They end up having a threesome with her like in their own younger years. That’s not taboo. Porn has been doing that scene for decades. But something in the dialogue, something in the lighting, it’s creating the taboo. It is, if you allow it, getting in your mind and nerves. Subliminal porn? I’m not going to say it is. I am going to say it’s way above porn-level directing and producing, it’s far beyond porn-level writing and most importantly, the actors and actresses are showing real acting ability.
My comparison to Vivid’s glory years is the greatest compliment I could give a site. Even today, 20 years after Vivid’s glory years, my favorite porn scenes are from those glory years of Vivid.
Pure Taboo is easily my favorite what I think is American-based site. To me, it breaks the hold the reality porn networks had on the market. That probably isn’t true since not everyone has tried Pure Taboo out and not everyone will like the depth of their scenes. It does break the hold the reality porn networks had on me. With the high technical quality, weekly updates, I really wish they would offer it as a separate site from Adult Time. Maybe put it and Pretty Dirty together like it was in 2018. That was my first exposure to it. I joined Pretty Dirty in 2018, Pure Taboo was just launching as was Adult Time. It does a little of everything too, there’s near heartcore, very hardcore, lesbian and everything in-between. Very close to being a perfect site. The pictures or lack thereof is stopping it from being perfect. Maybe the female models can’t get into character well enough for the pictures while getting into the character for the video? Either way, near perfection is saying a lot in today’s porn industry. |
