If I hadn't given you a positive trust rating before I would give you one today for this review. I agree with everything you wrote and know it to be the truth. You only left out the derogatory remarks they make about some of the models because, somehow, they didn't live up to their expectations. I found this so humiliating to those girls that I would not re-subscribe to that site EVER.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I felt I was going out on a limb with so much that I felt was a negative for the site. I read that others complained about the negative comments, so actually I didn't bother to read them. I don't really care what the site has to say about itself or the models and as you can see I have my own feelings that don't match up too well with most of the reviews on PU.

I'm a long time subscriber (at the $19.99 "please stick around" rate that was offered when I canceled last Fall) and agree with a lot of what you say. In fact I just submitted a poll question prompted by your review about a site's search function. FTV's is the worst in the business.
I really like the quality of the current HD videos and the very detailed and extended shots of a babe's body. I also like the fact that there is seldom any lighting issues and phony orgasm grunting.
And I find the current crop of models in the new releases to be outstanding and love the video work on them.
That said, I really don't like (I have written the webmaster about this), is the amount of time spent on a single aspect. While a dildo insertion in a lovely young cunt is a great thing to watch, when a 10 minute segment starts and finishes with the exact same camera position and the model is still pumping away with her toy, it gets rather boring.
I also dislike the fact that there is no opportunity to download an entire set at one time. This is the only "premium priced" site I am aware of that hasn't caught up with the technology.
The naming convention mbaya mentions also sucks, but what's worse is that they have some pornstars in their sets that are identified by completely different names and are described as if they were some young college girls doing soft porn as a lark. (Among their stuff you can find Carmella Bing, Phoenix Ray and Gianna Michaels, all having been posted long after their successful porn careers were in full swing but with silly first names like Clara and Becky.) To their credit they do have Isabella Camille and Jessie Capelli identified accurately.
As a final note, being a tit man and leg man myself, FTV's productions do an excellent job of showing absolutely gorgeous and well thought out explorations of those body parts of each model.
In my humble opinion, mbaya's score is a very fair one and reflects my opinion as well.

I genuinely thank you for your response. I was more than a bit hesitant to post my review because so many have scored the site so high. I can't say the site is weak, but I feel it is very far from the ratings I see.

Excellent review! Nice to see a member being honest about this site; I mean really, what's with all the high scores?
Anyways, I am never sure how to classify this site. Like others said, it is too disrespectful to its models to be glamour, plus most photos and videos are not up to the more "artsy" sites' standards, and if they are it took too long to implement. It is not really hardcore either, or at least solo hardcore, due to all the repetition. I became so bored with the site so quickly.
I am not big on search features -- I prefer to just wander and wade through the material -- but here the quantity overwhelms you long before the quality does. I think this site has a lot of great content, it just doesn't present it to its fullest potential.

Thank you for your nice words and the trust rating. At the same time as I was reading yours I got a totally incoherent negative trust from anonymous, calling me stupid. I was expecting disagreements with my review, but not such childish nastiness. C'est la vie as they say.

Yeah, I am really lost as to what he or she is referring to. Maybe it is someone who works for the site (but I doubt it) or a really enthusiastic fan...either way I still hate the anonymous ratings, even with comments.

While I don't agree with all you said in your review and actually rated it 11 points higher, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't agree with your video quality remarks, as I think the 07 videos are good quality for their time.
However I will agree 100% on a few ponts: The lack of any search function at all is flat out ridiculous for a site in 2009. Especially compared to some sites who let you search everything from boob size, clothing or labia size.
The one other thing that bugs me about the site, is the fact that Rob (the guy doing the shooting and behind it) seems to always think he's ideas are the only ones that matter. For example I brought up the image resolution thing to him and he pretty much told me I was dumb and 90% of subscribers think the images are already too big. And that sites doing them that big are just gimmicky.
Overall good thought out review.

I am glad to hear from you and also expect that many of us will see this site differently. The 2007 and earlier videos I felt were only adequate in quality. On my tv they were a bit grainy for a site that plasters self promotion all over the site about how great the video quality is. Personally, I found the site to have a personality that was annoying.

You have to keep in mind when reading these reviews is when they were posted. 2-3-4 years ago or whatever FTVgirls was way up there. Now other sites have caught up and surpassed FTV in many ways.
There are definitely more than 3 Asian women on the site, some look japa, and there are several latina women as well.
Over 25 you have:
http://www.ftvgirls.com/mod2008/liora.html
Some porn stars:
Amy Reid
Jenaveve
Personally I would like to see more 25-32 year old women in their prime, less teens but they do what they like to do I suppose.
For some of the longer scenes, for many of these "girls" it is their first time in front of a camera. At home in privacy they can pop in 2 minutes. In front of the camera for the first time it can take them 10 minutes or they can't do it at all.
There's nothing boring about it. All the women are different and have their own way of getting off. Some are cute, some bang away, some are multiple, others squirt.
Personally I get off by watching women get off. Seeing a penis splooge does nothing for me.
& yes, the FTVgirls dude is a douchebag, probably like most in the industry.

I saw only 3 Asian girls. I looked at every model to see if there were more. If I am wrong plese tell me the models names, as I am still a member and will download them. I never said there were or were not any pornstars so I don't know why you mentioned the names of two, nor do I understand why you mention you disagree the videos were boring. I never said that. Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you disagreed with my evaluation, and that is fine.

No I'm not disagreeing with your review, your score is fair. Just posting counterpoints to some statements made in these replies.
As for the pornstars I just pointed out a couple more.
My feeling with FTVgirls is that they are really not in to Asian women.
That I downloaded I have
Yumi (not her best work)
Keeani
Leilani she looks Philippina
Maya
Melia
Miae
Nyomi
Sabrine
Tammy
Tia
There may be more, I haven't been a member since 2007.
