| Bottom Line: |
I should have paid more attention before joining this site because even though the TBP page lists it as streaming only with downloads costing more, I somehow missed that. Downloading could become an expensive option since there isn't a one-charge add-on fee to unlock downloads but there is a requirement to pay an additional $2.95 per scene that you want to download. That could add up quickly.
Pretty Dirty is part of the Fame Digital family of sites so there is some expectation of quality porn offered on a well-designed site and both of those expectations have been met.
The quality of the porn is more of a subjective judgment since it really comes down to what each person likes. My preference is for the harder-edged stuff found at other Fame sites (such as Evil Angel) but even though the porn is more mainstream here it still meets the same high production values found on sister sites. While you will find some scenes that have somewhat edgier plots like threeways and anal, the focus here is more on old-fashioned boy/girl sex. The models are all A-list or models who are new to the business. This site will certainly appeal to anyone who likes the newest models in the business.
Two things about the porn itself are worth noting. First, this site has a lot of older man, younger woman stuff with a sizable proportion of that being the stepdaughter / stepfather niche. There are lots of other niches served, but if you like these ones this site has a lot to keep you entertained. The second thing is that the site offers a lot of behind-the-scenes material and what they offer tends to be more than just a camera recording the scene being shot. The BTS stuff here has some of that fly-on-the-wall footage but spends more time interviewing the performers. For those of us interested in knowing what makes some of our favorite models tick these scenes are interesting to watch.
The site itself is logical and well laid out. Each scene is identified by a medium-sized thumbnail with the performers, scene name and upload date listed too. Clicking on the thumbnail brings you to a separate page where you can view a trailer or the full scene. I don’t normally stream scenes so the number of resolutions available seems a bit of overkill to me, but I’ll assume that there is demand for the wide variation. The scenes can be streamed in 160p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080p. As I noted above if you want to download a scene you can do so for an additional $2.95 charge. Presumably the same resolutions would be available for the downloads as those are offered on other Fame sites too.
The site offers photos as both singles and zips. There are no additional charges for downloading the photos.
The site currently has approximately 130 scenes available and updates frequently with a new scene being added every few days. The BTS uploads aren't included in that update schedule so a member won’t feel cheated if an update is a BTS scene.
The site offers a lot of different ways to sort and search and those seem to be effective. Many of the scenes are part of a ‘series’ so you can go to that series. You can sort by niche using tags and there is also a search function. You can sort by scene or by the female star.
One warning that has to go along with and Fame site is that cancelling is easy IF you know what information you’ll need. The most critical piece of information will be in your email inbox, and that’s what Fame site were you billed through. Fame uses several of them (and even added a new billing site recently) and if you pick the wrong one you won’t find your membership. You’ll also need your username and password so keep those handy especially if you have the site remember your login credentials so you don’t have to.
Giving this site a score and a recommendation is tough to do because I find the porn a little too tame and I prefer to download my porn. But for someone who likes more mainstream porn and prefers streaming this site could be a perfect fit for them. My biggest beefs with the site are more subjective and I don’t want to factor those preferences into the score or recommendation. So wearing my objective porn-reviewer hat I’d say that this site offers a decent collection of some well-shot porn starring some of the newest and hottest models in the business. The production values are high. The site itself is laid out well and finding something you’ll like is easy. The site offers great value for the $15 TBP discount price.
But… it’s fair to say that most people who are members here at PU are more collectors so you need to be warned that this is a streaming site only unless you want to spend a lot of money. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that this business model doesn’t spread to other Fame sites. |
