| Bottom Line: |
Lubed is a relatively new niche site from the Porn Pros people. The title and tag line of the site describe it well: this is wet sex with water, lube or oil creating a sexy sheen on some of the hottest models working today. The scenes don’t really have much of a set-up to them, which I usually find to be a negative, but in this case the models and the sex are so hot that I’m willing to forego the sexual tension of a good set-up.
Being new, the site is relatively small, with 19 scenes currently available. The site updates regularly with one new scene being added each week. It’s a valid complaint that the site is really a bit too small to command the full price of a much larger site for now. It seems that Porn Pros has been creating these niche sites and selling them as separate sites rather than bundling them with their network or with other niche sites. I can complain about that business model, but the fact that I bought a membership to this and several other of the PP niche sites means that this business model does work.
The site is well laid out, though with fewer than 20 scenes it would be hard to screw that up. There are 12 scenes per page with each having a medium-sized thumbnail. The scene name is listed, as is the name of the female talent.
Speaking of the models, there is some variation in body types. While guys like me who prefer 18+ petite waifs will be pleased with models like Piper Perri and Rebel Lynn, members who prefer fuller-figured models like Keisha Grey will also have some scenes to enjoy.
Given the messy nature of the scenes, many of them are shot partly or completely outdoors. Pools and hot tubs also work as sets. If you like that sort of thing, this site will have an added allure for you.
The scenes are all exclusive and all are well shot and edited. Many outdoor scenes can get washed out in bright sunlight but these folks obviously have the talent and equipment to make outdoor scenes look good.
Each scene opens into its own page where there are many options to stream or download the video. Streaming is available as HD or “standard.” I don’t stream so I can’t comment on the quality of each of those. One bit of good news is that the scene doesn’t start streaming automatically as with so many other sites. Downloads are available in 5 different MP4 resolutions and one resolution each for MPG and WMV. The MP4 resolutions are:
(Resolution, framerate (fps), bitrate kb/s))
• 4096x2160, 59, 25,000
• 1920x1012, 59, 16,500
• 1280x674, 59, 6,800
• 852x450, 59, 3,135
• 640x338, 59, 1,900
The MPG file is 852x450, 59fps and 5,100kb/s and the WMV is 1281x674, 30fps and 6,900 kb/s.
I’m open to correction on this, but the framerate is double what I’m used to seeing and the bitrates seem much higher than those used in scenes of comparable resolution on other sites. If you like MP4 files you’ll definitely find a good compromise between file size and picture sharpness here.
Photos are available too. Screencaps are available as singles only and are 1280x674. Photos are available as singles or a zip and both come in at 1125x1500.
There is a simple search function but given the size of the site that really isn't a selling feature yet. For people like me who like anal scenes, I can report that there are currently only three of those (Angel Smalls, Alice March and Keisha Grey).
The bottom line is that this is a great and growing site that could really be improved with a lower price to reflect its small size or to have it bundled with a few other smaller sites to give better value at least until it grows. The porn itself is top-quality in every way: the models are hot, the sex is hot, the production values are high and the site is well laid out and offers many options. I certainly recommend that anyone who likes wet scenes like this check it out and weigh the value using your own scale. I’m certainly not disappointed that I joined. |
