| Bottom Line: |
I’m a big fan of the massage niche and will usually try a site at least once to get access to new material, as I did here. One advantage with this site is that is that it gives you access to the entire Teen Mega World network. The name of the network should be an indication that the network and the sites within it aren’t for everyone: the site owners take the teen theme seriously so the only models here are beautiful young (18-20) Russian and Eastern European models. If your tastes are for older women, you probably won’t like this site or the network. (But for those of us who do prefer younger and more petite models, this site and the network are great.)
The site currently has 93 scenes available. The scenes follow the usual setup used in the massage niche: model walks in to get a massage from a male masseur, she undresses and gets on the table under a sheet or towel, the massage begins with the masseur slowly exposing more of the model as he massages her, eventually she’s naked and the fun begins. While this can be repetitive it can also increase the heat of the scene if it is done right. The right chemistry between the models and the right amount of tease can make for a great scene.
But… here’s where TM has a bit of a problem. I realize that this is very subjective and is beyond the control of the site so I won’t say this is a negative and I didn’t consider it when assessing a score. The problem is that in most massage scenes a lot of the heat is built by the interaction between the male and female models. But since this site uses Russian and Eastern European models they don’t speak English so the viewer loses a key element of that interaction. The site does use subtitles which certainly helps, but it doesn’t generate the tease and heat of a site that uses English-speaking models. The language issue is partly offset by the female models though, as most of them are incredibly beautiful.
The site layout is simple and easy to use. Each page has ten scenes listed with basic information about that scene. Clicking on a scene opens a new page where you can stream or download the scene. I didn’t try the streaming so I can’t comment on that. The scenes are available as one complete file or in parts. I only downloaded the complete scene so I can’t comment on the scene in parts either.
When it comes to downloading the scenes the site has made a choice that seems a bit odd. I don’t know enough technical stuff to understand why they’d do it this way, but I’m assuming that there is a reason. On most sites there are multiple file formats and sizes available. So, for example, you might prefer WMV files and those are available in two or three resolutions. If you prefer mp4 files, those are available too and in multiple resolutions. Here the choices are a bit different: there are multiple file sizes available but each one uses a different format: the high resolution is a WMV, there is a medium resolution in either MKV or FLV format and a resolution for mobile devices that comes as an mp4. So if you prefer WMV format but don’t want a 1GB file you’re out of luck.
I’m fine with WMV so I downloaded the highest resolution available which is in that format. Even the oldest scenes on the site (which aren’t that old – the first scene was uploaded on November 28, 2010) come in at 1280x720 at 4800+kb/s and 25fps. They use WMV Codec 9. Subjectively they look great. I can’t speak for the lower resolution files as I didn’t download them.
The site permits download managers (I use IDM) and I had no issue with links timing out. One issue that I did experience is that the download speeds could fluctuate. With IDM I’m used to seeing downloads near 7MB/s on most sites. With this site there were times when I could see those speeds but those times weren’t frequent or sustained. I could regularly see speeds well below 2MB/s. On average, I’d say that I got 4 to 4.5MB/s. Still not bad, but less than I normally get. The slower speeds also seemed to correspond with peak download times in Eastern Europe so I could often improve my downloads by waiting until those members were less likely to be downloading porn.
The site appears to be still active though updates are now infrequent. There was an update on November 24, 2012 but the next most recent was in April. As recently as March 2012 they were adding four or five scenes per month.
One factor that some potential members may be interested to know (and it could be a pro or a con depending on your preferences) is that while there are a good proportion of anal scenes on the other sites in the network, Tricky Masseur has no anal scenes.
The bottom line is that this is a pretty good massage site. The models are incredibly beautiful, young and petite and make for some great porn. If you like massage porn I’d recommend giving the site a try and as an added bonus you get access to a huge network and you get a TBP / PU discount too. |
