| Pros: |
- Large site with lots of content
- Big name actresses
- Hidden gems are there waiting to be discovered (Jayma Reid, tons of Prinzess, Elexis Monroe, etc.)
- Download managers allowed |
| Cons: |
- Video quality is absolutely horrible. The top offering often looks like what you'd watch on free popup-filled tube sites, and sometimes worse. More below.
- Logs you out a couple of times a day and you have to enter captcha to re-enter
- Dead links, repeated names, poor oversight of website
- Most video sizes are huge for such low-quality clips.
- Scenes are often fairly uninspired
- No photo options (view or download) that I could find |
| Bottom Line: |
If you've seen any of the Mother Daughter Exchange Club clips you may understand why I was excited about this membership. They have 30 pages (w/30+ clips per page) of content going back to 1999 available on the site, so it held a lot of promise.
Sadly, it lasts right up until a day or two after you join. There were some technical issues like dead links, but those things happen occasionally and can be overlooked. The big problem was much more obvious.
There are lots of talented and attractive actresses, but often the scenes are underwhelming. Too often they come across as actresses getting paid to say these specific lines and lick these specific parts. That would be okay if the details were filmed better and showed more of the action, but unfortunately that doesn't happen very much, either. It ended up being a tremendous disappointment, and the reason is simple: The quality of the majority of their clips is pitiful, and it makes the entire site such a letdown that you'll probably stop visiting it less than halfway through your membership period.
Example:
One would hope the site has access to the source material for the films, but even if they don't I'm fairly certain the company has access to at least one copy of the DVDs they are making available for download. We'll use MDEC #6 for this. There are four clips offered, with the 360p options averaging 500MB or so. The 480p options are around 1GB each.
Don't miss that: A ~30 minute 480p option is one gigabyte.
Remember, the DVD itself would only be 4.5GB, but they have DVD or near-DVD sized files while still looking like free tube site videos. This makes no sense considering the DVDs are sharp and clear, and a quick google search would yield tons of free rippers that would convert the entire movie to 700MB and probably still end up with better quality.
(And who knows what professional options are available for ripping those same DVDs to offer on the site.)
Instead you get dark, bad-looking individual clips at 500MB-1GB that you'll probably only watch to see a favorite actress, and then it will be deleted and/or forgotten about soon after because it's simply not worth re-watching.
Of the 30+ pages of content, only the five or so most recent pages offer HD. FWIW, even those HD clips are way too big (2GB 720p scenes)
There is quite a bit of tribbing and old/young matchups, but eroticism is often lacking. Another problem is lack of attention to lighting and what is happening in the scene. Masturbation or oral action is often blocked, and when it is open and visible it's difficult to see because the lighting is usually fair to poor. Combine the lighting choices with bad encoding and you'll end up regretting downloading most of the scenes you decided to get.
Again, it's especially sad to realize you could just as easily have been offered the entire DVD at better quality and a similar size to one of the crappy 360p clips.
FWIW, I've seen clips for sale at VOD sites, so I'm fairly certain decent, and likely even high, quality examples exist.
Bottom line: The site has so much potential. Newer videos, while still overly huge, are okay quality-wise, but the total content isn't worth it. If you do join I'd probably suggest only downloading clips from 2015 and on, but so much content is excluded with that caveat that it saddens me to say I probably wouldn't recommend joining in the first place. You're likely better off finding the actresses you enjoy and just buying the single scene or the cheap DVD they're in. |
