| Pros: |
- ALS Scan is a site about young women which adds some believable, more life-like scenarios than your average porn site does.
- I've joked about it before and continue to feel like ALS has a factory somewhere off the grid that produces these innocent, pretty, girl-next door types who like being naked.
- I can't say for sure how much the old owner (Met-Art managed) is still involved, but nearly all of the casting videos I've watched have him talking in them. And that's a big plus (See BL)
- Daily updates, usually photo set one day, video the next with occasional BTS and interview videos thrown in.
- Long time ALS fans will like the PU price. I joined this site, 17 times, from 2006-2011 at $29.95 each time. One of the few sites a year membership is worth considering.
- Boy/girl scenes also show up some. For many years it was just a solo/lesbian site.
- High quality all-around (numbers in BL).
- Site has a personality. There's a fun, relaxed vibe with most of the content. |
| Cons: |
- Any site like this one can become repetitive.
- Several longtime PU members didn't like the use of gynecological instruments and close-ups. |
| Bottom Line: |
Admittedly, I always preferred ALS Angels to ALS Scan, but it was solely based on ALS Angels having curvier models. ALS Scan's technical quality was better even back then. This is based on how ALS Angels operated, if a girl was "too curvy" for ALS Scan she ended up on ALS Angels. What's too curvy? Eve Angel. All 5'6" 130 pounds of her. Looking at ALS Scan's current models they still prefer the smaller, slimmer girls. Back then the webmaster Alex was fair to the curvier girls by having ALS Angels for them, but I never really understood how a woman with 36C boobs could be considered "too curvy". That at least should let you know you're not going to get a lot of curvy models here.
What you do get are lots of slimmer, sportier, playful girls. I mentioned in the pros that I hear Alex's name in the casting videos and believe he's a very important part of ALS' success. Everyone seems to enjoy working with him and being around him. His interviews with models are top-notch, maybe the best in the business (sorry Zoliboy). The models almost always are relaxed during their scenes and I do believe you get much more emotion and enjoyment from the models when they are comfortable.
The casting videos are worth mentioning as I hadn't seen them recently. They're filled with new talent looking to make a good first impression. Though the casting videos do not have any type of sexual action in them. They do have full nudity.
The regular solo scenes on ALS are some of the best you'll find, though you will run into some extreme insertions and gynecological closeups. As much as I like lesbian scenes, my favorite girl/girl scenes in all of porn are here on ALS. I think it started innocent enough. ALS has always had a female assistant or two, but unlike other sites, they will work this assistant into a solo scene by a model. The assistant will then help the model lube up, insert something they normally couldn't insert and even a little licking, kissing, fingering.
The boy/girl scenes are mostly misses for me, but that's because I don't join ALS to see boy/girl scenes. Though I shouldn't say much since these scenes are pretty rare. I'm only counting roughly one per month boy/girl scene.
ALS Scan has always been a site with high technical quality standards. That hasn't changed and unlike a lot of sites these days, they still give you a huge amount of photos per photo set. You rarely see a set with less than 200 photos and some go as high as 700 photos, with 300-350 being an average. These photo sets are available in downloadable zips and come in 3 qualities: low (1000 high end), medium (2000 high end), large (4500 high end).
There's roughly 1,000 videos in 1080p quality. Some of the newer videos are also available in 4k, though I honestly don't download those since I don't have a 4k monitor nor do I want to start investing in more hard drives to store all those huge files in.
The biggest plus you will see with Met-Art's management of ALS Scan is in the navigation. Used to you would open a page that had tiny thumbnail headshots of every single model on the site. Now the preview pictures are larger and there's easy to use and find "photography", "latest updates", "videos" tabs at the top of the page as well as a model directory.
It's worth searching back into the older content to find all of the "beach" trips, where webmaster Alex takes several models to a beach and they record everything from playing around on the beach to masturbation in front of the other models while the other models eat breakfast. You get a lot of unscripted, humorous moments in those.
I still believe Met-Art made the biggest and best impact at Viv Thomas, but ALS Scan didn't really need a lot done to it. Overall, I think it's the best site in the Met-Art network and brings the best of "girl" porn you can get. There's plenty of uniqueness and creativity as well. From body-painting in public to public flashing to just plain nudity and masturbation. It's those female assistant one becoming involved ones that I like best, but truthfully, there's hardly ever a scene I don't like.
The cons are nothing more than me nitpicking. One that I didn't mention is the wrong update dates on scenes. I saw one yesterday that said it was released in 2010, but the "cover" of the scene said "Budapest 2007". Again, it's hardly worth complaining about.
One other thing to mention that could bother some is the use of remastered old scenes as new updates. These don't happen that much and I personally like them.
One of my all-time favorite sites and it's one of the few that continues to impress me consistently. Highly recommended. |
