| Pros: |
- A large site that has returned more to its amateur roots.
- In my opinion, the best site for those who like public flashing, touching, as these once favorites have now returned in nearly every new update.
- Models are starting to become more varied in appearance. There's been several busty-type models added recently (Darcie is a favorite). Also seeing more dark haired models, there was a time when it seemed like 90% of new models on here were blonde.
- Video and photo quality are both excellent, zips for downloading photo sets.
- Lots of sporty girls, flexible, working out, dancing.
- Site navigation has improved greatly. |
| Cons: |
- The days of the more extreme FTV seem to be over. You rarely see the giant dildos or the FTV Toy, but it's not a con for me, could be for others.
- Webmaster or whoever programs the site goes a little overboard with the use of tags, really, it's not public nudity just because the model gets nude in a private backyard in Arizona.
- And the big one, the videos are still split into parts. I don't know how many times I've reviewed FTV or commented about it, but despite all the reasoning I've heard, "The different clips show the progression of the scene" was one, and another was, "Some people don't like masturbation, others don't like teasing, the clips allow users to pick just the ones they like". So does the fast-forward and rewind button. |
| Bottom Line: |
FTV has always been an up and down site for me. Many times as a member, the up and down status happened from day to day. I admit, one of my favorite niches in porn is public nudity/flashing and even better if the model slips a little masturbation in too.
I like the combination of danger/excitement/arousal you see from the models in the public nudity scenes. And one really big plus for FTV is the models, at least to me, are becoming more and more amateur. I'm sure it's no different than it used to be where someone like Eva Angelina appeared here early in her career then went on to be one of the most prolific porn actresses of all-time.
FTV to me is the best public nudity site available that is still updating. So if public, exhibitionism is your thing, you should try it out just for those scenes.
The site's navigation has improved thanks to a new design in the member's area. New might not be the right word, but it was new to me when I joined 3 months ago. I had been away from this site since roughly 2010. It could still be improved by better tagging. All scenes now have tags across the top of their description. These are nicely done bold and bright tags that make it easy to see if a scene has something in it you might like. Some examples:
Nu! = Public Nudity, O = Real Orgasm, Ex = Extreme Scene and so on. These are very useful except for one thing. Since adding this tagging system they've went back and tagged every scene on their entire site. I will give them credit for not just throwing every tag possible on every scene, but there's the occasional misused tag that can be frustrating.
The frustration is made worse by the videos being cut into parts. Instead of just downloading one big file then scanning through it for the part you're most interested in, you have to download 4-10 parts then open each one and look for the part you're interested in.
If that's not enough frustration, the videos here are such high quality that it makes you wonder if they realize stopping to load another video is breaking up the continuity of the scenes? An example: Cayton Cayley (Candice) has a scene where she's flashing in a car repair garage. There's men all around and she's getting more aroused by each one that look at her. Then ... the video stops. Load the next one, watch the FTV logo for 2-5 seconds, video starts and she's walking to a room in the back where men are going to watch her masturbate. That's not only senseless, but it's illogical. One of the few believable things I've heard behind the reasoning of breaking the scene up is "Videos are shot in different locations". While I'm sure video editing software could piece those together still, I can at least see how one moment the model is nude in public, the next she's in a bed getting ready to masturbate, could also make the videos less natural-feeling, but the one I used above was in the same building. As are many others.
My guess is it will never change. It's been this way for over 10 years. Outside of that fairly big problem, the site delivers. The change from some extreme scenes to hardly no extreme scenes didn't bother me.
The size of the site can be overwhelming. I don't have near as much time to view/download porn as I used to so I've ended up staying at FTV for 3 straight months trying to rebuild my collection of their content. Updates are once a week and include videos and photos of one model. It's also still a great site for collectors since a lot of well-known porn stars including hardcore, extreme ones, were here on FTV early in their careers, showing some innocence and playfulness, you don't see from them in their newer work.
The interviews are often funny and show the model's personality away from being a model. I would even wonder how many models have helped/hurt themselves with these interviews?
I know there's been reviews and comments about the download speed being poor, but I haven't experienced any problems over the 3 months. My download speed on here is roughly 90% or higher of what it should be. Just tested it again before writing this review.
Overall, this is how I see this site: There's high-quality photos and videos. Decent download options on the videos and zips for the photos. The improved navigation (since 2010) makes the site much easier to use. Even the types of models have improved over the last year or so (subjective). But there's always that one but revolving around the split videos. I can say I took off 6-8 points for the split videos. It creates too much of a frustration situation. I can either download the clips I know I'll like and skip the others, which will make me wonder what I missed or I can just download them all, which is what I end up doing.
Even with the frustration, it's the best at public nudity and at finding very attractive amateur models. |
