| Cons: |
- Most updates are divided into 2 parts and added over a two-week timeframe

- Language barriers can reduce the model interaction
- Close to half the available scenes are low resolution and split into segments |
| Bottom Line: |
I know that other reviewers have given higher scores and more positive reviews, but I can’t share a lot of that optimism. For me a site needs to have great porn and be a great site to get a high score but there are exceptions. If a site offers unique porn in an underserved niche then I’m more willing to overlook some of the site’s flaws. For Jim Slip, however, the porn isn't so unique as to allow me to overlook some of the site’s major flaws. I realize that taking this position opens the door to a lot of subjectivity so I’ll try to justify why I think this site could use a lot of improvement.
The site’s primary niche is older man / younger woman porn, a niche that I really like. So for that reason this site had been on my radar for a while before I finally joined. I’m glad I waited as will become apparent below. While I like the niche, the fact that Jim books most of his models from Eastern Europe and Russia means that many of them don’t have good or any English skills so the interaction between them is sometimes limited. The interaction between the performers is usually what creates the heat in a scene and the less interaction means less heat, in my opinion.
Another niche that may be of interest is that Jim’s wife Lara, a hot MILF, sometimes appears in the scenes with the girls. This doesn’t happen often enough for me to suggest that you buy a membership just to see these scenes. The membership includes Lara’s site but this review focuses solely on Jim Slip.
Since the site has been around a while it can be a stroll through Eastern European / Russian porn. The site certainly has most of the top EE/Russian model from the past 12 years though some of the models are less than A-list.
The site currently has about 600 videos uploaded with a new video being offered once a week. There are several big caveats to that number though. The first is that many, and perhaps most, of the scene are uploaded in two parts with the first part being uploaded one week and the second the following week. The split doesn’t occur at some obvious break in the scene, nor does it split up an unusually long scene. Most of the scenes run about an hour with about 30 minutes being uploaded per week. (One file is added per week.) So with this in mind, the actual number of full scenes is less than 600. My educated guess is that there might be 350-400 full scenes.
The second major flaw with the scenes is that many of them are unwatchable by today’s standards. The site has been around since 2003 and from that date to August 2009 the videos were as low as 320x240 and only reached 480x360 with low bitrates. To make matters worse, these videos can’t be downloaded as a single file; for many of them there could be eight or more files required for the full scene. I’m no technical expert, but if there was a way to remaster these to a better resolution and combine them into a single file that would go a long way to improving the site. What this means for a member is that almost half of the videos are poor quality and in segments.
Starting in August 2009 the files became available in 1280x720 with bitrates that range from low to reasonable. Then, in July 2010 1920x1080 files became available with bitrates hitting as high as 12000kb/s. Currently there are about 90 files (or approximately 45 full scenes) offered in this resolution, with other options being the 720p and 540p.
Streaming is also available in the same available download resolutions for each scene,
Another flaw is that for a commercial site there are far too many broken links. I didn’t download a lot from the site and I still encountered dozens of dead links. In many cases a lower resolution of the scene was available, but this really shouldn’t occur.
The site does permit you to use a download manager to queue up scenes and I had no problem with the links timing out. Other users report that the site won’t allow multiple downloads but I can’t confirm that as I don’t do that. Download speeds were average to slightly better than average. One minor flaw is that all the files are named with a generic name; “fullcomplete” is the current name though it is different on older files. Be prepared to rename files as you download them.
Would I recommend this site? Probably not unless there is some compelling reason for you to do so. If there is a must-have scene with a model you collect or you really like this niche then it may be worth it to join. There is a TBP/PU discount that makes the membership a slightly better value. But the porn itself isn't particularly great; there are better older guy / younger girl sites out there and there are better sites that feature the same models. And most of those sites offer better resolutions, fewer dead links and better download options, including the full scene being uploaded all at once. I wouldn’t say don’t join this site, but it’s unlikely that I’ll be back. |
