Bottom Line: |
This site doesn’t market itself as a network, and I’m not saying it is one, but membership to one site gets you membership to three other massage-themed sites so I’ll cover all four sites here.
While there are subtle variations between the sites the basic elements are the same in all of them: a guy walks into the massage parlor to get a massage. The girl greets the guy, they undress and shower together, they usually start the massage in a large tub and then the massage continues on an air mattress or massage table. In Nuru Massage they use a thick, clear massage oil for which the type of massage and this site are named. In Soapy Massage they use soap bubbles as the medium, and the massage is a bit more traditional in Massage Parlor. In all cases there is a ‘happy ending’ and in 80% of scenes on all sites there is oral. There are a few sex scenes, but those are rare. All Girl Massage seems to follow a similar pattern, though I didn’t watch many of those.
Some potential members might find the massage theme can get a little dull after a while. I agree that it can, but if you like massage as a niche this is definitely well done. The models play their roles well and they keep the heat and eroticism turned up. Some may not like the fact that there is very little sex (apart from oral), but I think that adds to the heat and realism.
The details on each site are:
• Nuru Massage – 166 videos, updates with one video per week
• Massage Parlor - 220 videos, updates several times per week with the addition of one scene per update
• Soapy Massage – 242 videos, updates irregularly and infrequently, but at least one scene per month is added
• All Girl Massage – 106 videos, updates with one video per week
The site is either affiliated with or uses the same web design as Fame Digital. I think it’s the former. This is a good thing, in my opinion, because the quality of these sites is very good. And like other Fame sites there is a TBP / PU discount. Unfortunately, like other Fame sites, they don’t use a biller though I’ve never had a membership issue with any Fame site before.
TBP includes Nuru Massage as an Asian site, which seems appropriate considering the idea of Nuru massage is Japanese, but while there is a higher percentage of Asian models on the site than on many other porn sites, I don’t think I’d call this an Asian site. It may be that when TBP reviewed it originally the site had more Asian models, but now they aren’t even in the majority. When you consider all four sites as a group this is definitely not an Asian site. That could be good or bad, depending on your tastes.
The models are all beautiful and most are well known porn stars. There are different body types to suit most tastes. Some have too many tattoos but that’s just part of the business these days. In his earlier review, GCode noted there were only 15 models on the site. This has improved significantly with 77 available now.
The scenes all appear to be exclusive. I collect massage-themed stuff and I’ve never seen them elsewhere. Also, given that the set and set-up is essentially the same for all the scenes that supports that these are exclusive. The production values are great too: the lighting, sound, camerawork and editing are all top-notch.
There is no search function on any of the sites but one isn’t needed either. You can sort the scenes using different tags and you can sort by model. This may sound too limiting, but given the single theme of the sites it works well.
If you’re familiar with Fame sites the site design will look familiar. Each scene opens to a page where you can download or stream the video. Video downloads are available as WMVs in 240p or 480p resolutions. MP4s are available in 240, 480, 540, 720 and 1080p. I prefer WMV files and I downloaded the 480p ones which come in at 720x400 at 2200kb/s and 30fps. I can’t make any assessment of the MP4s. While I understand why a site would limit WMVs (due to the larger size, I suspect) I do wish that they offered more choice with that file type. In their defence, even though the numbers don’t look all that impressive, subjectively the videos look great.
An issue I’ve had in the past with Fame sites is that they have a short time-out on the links which makes using a download manager difficult. I’ll admit that I have a faster connection from the last time I had a Fame membership, but the problem doesn’t seem to be nearly as bad here as I’ve experienced in the past.
The bottom line is that I’d definitely recommend these sites. As usual, the caveat is that you have to like the set-up, but for the price it is even worth it to join just to get a few addition scenes with some favourite stars. The sites have excellent material to offer and they offer it through a website that’s easy to use and they sell it at a great price. The whole combination is an excellent value. |
