| Cons: |
The ladies are all US pornstars so lots of OTT fake moaning, tattoos, boob jobs and way too much talk during the sex.
The Heaven or Hell category seems pointless, more of a gimmick to prop up the site's name.
Despite the storylines, the scenes are all a bit samey (see bottom line).
Pointless screenshots facility.
Content is a bit limited.
Poor network performance - after clicking on a link it takes what seems like ages for the linked page to start loading.
Download speed struggles to reach and stay at 2Mbps (other sites are about 8Mbps).
Downloaded video file sizes are much larger than they need to be.
Slightly confusing download options. |
| Bottom Line: |
I came across a few trailer scenes for this site and decided it was worth a look, especially with the discount at the time of sign-up which included downloads.
In line with the site name/theme, the content is categorised as either Heaven or Hell and you can browse by either category.
The site features over 150 scenes which are episodes of trilogies, so you can browse either scenes/episodes or trilogies - when browsing by trilogy you can view a trailer of the scenes contained therein.
Episodes and trilogies are listed as a paged list, but favourited scenes/episodes are not paged, so if you've a lot of favourited scenes, the page may be slow to load.
Scene updates are every two weeks across different recent trilogies.
Scenes average 30 minutes, the shortest being 15 minutes and the longest about 40 minutes, each with a storyline of which some are hot, others a bit daft but entertaining. The storylines do add interest and introduce scenes that are one-on-one, threesomes and group sex in the usual range of positions. Endings are generally facial and cum-in-mouth though there are a few creampies and cum-on-pussy or tits.
The ladies range from young to MILF/older woman and from small tits to large and boob jobs.
A curious feature of the site is the search facility: it does all the usual such as searching by scene name, model name but it also searches by tags, despite the fact that none of the scenes have tags (or at least none are shown in the site), but they're there, internally I guess, which is useful for searches but not as quick or easy to use as explicit scene tags listed in a scene's details page. There's a three girls on one guy scene that I couldn't find by searching for group sex, BGGG or any other tag, but considering the limited content of this site, you'd be more likely to just browse every scene to find what you want rather than relying on tags. Still, it's a shortcoming worth mentioning.
The Heaven and Hell categories are a gimmick, merely there to bolster up the theme of the site I'd guess - I didn't really pay any attention to it and I doubt many others will either.
The scene download options are a bit confusing initially - there are options for download quality ranging from full HD (1920x1080) down to mobile (640x360), with 1280x720 and 736x414 in between, but with descriptions like "stream high", "stream med" and "highest quality" it's not straightforward, for example, the "stream high" option is just 1920x1080 at a lower quality (bitrate is 6Mbps) than the "highest quality" which is also 1920x1080 at a much higher bitrate of 12Mbps, so it's down to whether you're interested in the best download quality or using less disk space. I found the quality of the smaller 1080 file to be of more than acceptable quality, though I downloaded the highest quality files with the intention of recoding them using my favourite video convertor to a lower 8Mbps bit rate, hopefully shaving a third or more off the file size.
The photosets are of resolution 2048x1365 which is good enough though I haven't really bothered with photosets since I got broadband.
Network performance of this site is well below average: clicking a link takes at least 5 seconds before the page is opened; downloads are even worse with my browser struggling to manage a DL speed of 2Mbps, so scenes took around 30 minutes to download; contrast that with other sites where I've found DL speed to be 4 times faster at around 8Mbps.
My biggest gripe about this site is the models - all US pornstars, so it's generally in-your-face clear that you're watching a performance of a guy (or guys) fucking a girl (or girls) with little impression that anyone involved is actually enjoying the sex; obviously porn ain't real sex but it can be made to appear sensuous at least, if not giving the impression that the performers are having a good time, but there's not a lot of that here. That said, a few of the girls stand out as sensuous sluts, Jaye Summers for instance.
Also, the action is a bit samey: the first episode of a trilogy is typically the guy and his wife/gf getting it on, either just blowjob or BJ and sex, the second episode is the guy's buddy joining the fun and fucking his wife/gf, with the third and final episode featuring both the guy and his buddy fucking the wife/gf. I guess any series builds up to a climax, so it starts small and gets bigger (okay, I'll stop the innuendo now).
I'm probably giving the impression that I'm down on this site, well I guess I am a little but that's just my taste in pornstars and despite my earlier comment, a few of the girls here (Jaye Summers for a start) are very hot and are the main reason I decided to give the site a try. I'm sure many regular porn users here will love the content provided by PurgatoryX, certainly if you're US pornstar fan you'll find lots to like here. The available discounts make it worth joining so with that and on the basis of the above, I'm recommending you check it out. |
