| Pros: |
- It has to be one of the biggest networks on the internet. If you've never been a member you could probably join it for a year and still be happy with it in month 12.
- You get 13 sites and will list them each in the BL with a quick explanation of each and opinion.
- I try to always buy memberships through TBP and the TBP discount is very good, but DDF's promo emails, for past members, are much cheaper. On the other hand these promos only last 24-48 hours.
- Very professional site with high standards on their technical quality.
- Download speeds are about 90% my max download speed.
- The network as a whole does give you a feeling of "something for everyone".
- Videos over the last 4 years or so are HD, picture sets come zipped.
- You will be hard-pressed to name an Euro model who isn't on the network and many have double digit numbers of sets.
- Navigation is good for a network of this size and there doesn't seem to be as much overlap between sites though there still is some. |
| Cons: |
- A little thing called time. That mainly applies only to new or newer members. I have kept a DDF folder since 2007 that has all the older content I would want so I mainly am just downloading the newer updates. If you're new to it, go ahead and get you a new external hard drive and name it DDF. I would think it's a bit overwhelming to some.
- DDF sites have typically had a common problem of the occasional download button not working, downloading a file marked as 1280x720 resolution only to find out it's a mobile file, but fast and courteous customer service always fixes it.
- The major deduction for me is that I'm not for sure the network offers that much for frequent past members. While the newer content isn't bad, it has either entered the feeling of, "I've seen this before, just the girl is different" or "Another 18 year old Hungarian model". That's not as negative as it sounds, but it's just a feeling of complacency. |
| Bottom Line: |
It seems my years of scoring high are starting to catch up with me or I'm just not as impressed as I used to be. If you are new or newer to DDF then you can feel free to add 5-7 points to the score and I would say easily. I'm going to focus on the different sites since DDF Network isn't so much a site as it is sort of a home page or hub to go from site to site.
1ByDay - The flagship site. Myself and many Porn Users spent upwards of $35 per month for this site by itself years ago. It still updates 7 times a week and has nearly a combined 10,000 photo/video sets. I think it's important to mention these photo sets are not screenshots from the videos, they are standalone, professional photo sets. You really could get your money worth just with this site alone.
Hot Legs and Feet - The almost flagship site. I used to be turned away from this site because I thought it was a standard feet/toes type site, but it's really not. It's more like a solo/lesbian/hardcore site that has a feet/leg theme to the scenes. Updates have dropped to 3 per week. Close to 5,000 combined photo/video sets.
DDF Busty - The name says it all. This site has a couple of problems for me. It's not unusual to see overlap from other DDF sites showing up on it. It also updates 3 times per week. Around 3,000 combined photo/video sets.
Only Blowjob - Another self-explanatory one. It updates 3 times per week. And has around 3,000 combined photo/video sets.
House of Taboo - The kinkier side of DDF, though I wouldn't say it's near as kinky as most BDSM/Bondage/Sub/Dom sites I've been on. It updates 3 times per week and has around 1,800 combined video and photo sets.
Hands on Hardcore - Though all the sites before this one have some hardcore on them, this one is just all hardcore. Its updates don't seem to be quite 3 per week, but are close, there are 9 updates for the month of March as of March 31, 2013. It has right at 1,600 combined photo and video sets.
Euro Girls on Girls - Updates once a week, all lesbian, only lesbian content. It has nearly 1,000 combined photo and video sets.
Euro Teen Erotica - Updates once a week, this site could really appeal to some. Seems like it started out as mostly solo and the occasional lesbian scene, but I think they changed the focus and it's now more boy/girl hardcore with teens. It has nearly 700 combined photo and video sets.
Sex Video Casting - A site that could be considered the closest to amateur that DDF goes. Some of these sets don't have anything more than a new model stripping, no masturbation, no sex. Most at least go into something near masturbation. It has a combined 1,200 photo and video sets.
Hairy Twatter - Updates weekly, a site about hairy girls. Not my thing, but it has close to 200 combined video and photo sets.
Cherry Jul - Archive site. It hasn't been updated since 2007, but if you like Cherry, it has a combined 216 photo and video sets.
Eve Angel Official - Archive site. It says it's updating, but I have all these sets. If I'm wrong on this, I will change what I've said, but seeing that I've collected Eve exclusively since 2004, I'm pretty sure these new updates aren't new. Still, there is around 400 combined photo and video sets and if you like Eve, but haven't downloaded this content it's really good and would be worth the price of membership by itself.
Sandy's Fantasies - Archive site. This site hasn't been active for several years, but has some real nice older content of major Euro stars before they became big stars. Right at 300 combined photo and video sets.
I tried approaching this review differently to give a rundown of each site included. I still think this network is a great value considering the photos after 2008 are all available in at least 2000 high end and the videos in HD, Prior to 2009, you're going to get varying qualities and just based on the sheer amount of content there's no way I could break it down into how many have HD, how many have standard DVD resolution, etc.
I would recommend as high as possible for new porn fans, Eve Angel fans who don't have the content from her site, Cherry Jul fans if they still exist, legs/feet fans, soft dom fans, blowjob fans and solo fans. The only sites that I consider disappointing are Euro Girls on Girls and Euro Teen Erotica, but that's just a preference since those are mostly your typical 18 year old skinny models.
As a whole the network offers as much content as you could possibly ask for, however, as someone who has been a member of nearly all the sites when they were standalone sites and also a member of this network 4 times, I don't know that it offers me a whole lot of value. Then again, that's what happens when you have a 1.7 TB folder of DDF content.
I still think an 87 is fair with a +5 for those who don't have a 1.7 TB of DDF content already. |

| Pros: |
-- Best erotic photography I have come across so far. Clearly professional-level photography. Perfect lighting. Non-forumlatic and dynamic poses.
-- Classy and conservative style erotica. No extreme stuff, bizarre angles, or depictions of rough sex/choking the models etc.
-- Layout and menus are up their with the best.
-- Photo galleries are put together niceley. No repetitve content in each gallery.
-- Plenty of HD content for those into videos. |
| Cons: |
-- I really struggle to find negatives beyond the nit-picking variety. I guess the only thing I could offer in terms of tangibles is the price. Obviously, the premium price for the network is higher than others. |
| Bottom Line: |
My score is somewhat biased as I am a photography buff and my review is based on what the site means to me. buff so I appreciate the professional work at this site. There is a tremndous amount of high-quality photo content at this site. The galleries are well laid out and the models are all beautiful.
The details in the high-resolution photos are quite stunning. In many cases, you can count peach fuzz hairs.
Clearly, this is not the typical site that offers a large amount of photos where the majority of them are simply repetitions of the same pose as the model stands in front of a muslin and the camera and lighting is set on rapid fire.
Most every gallery I have browsed so far demonstrates impecible lighting and technical expertise. The artists clearly put a lot of thought into the work. There is photoshopping evident, but it is not overdone to the point that the colors are over-saturated and the images look unreal or the models plastic. IMO,
DDF is one of those sites that qualifies as art as well as it does porn.
The models themselves range from petite to busty, depending on what site you view. I have only browsed a few videos. However, the presentations should appeal to most of those itnerested in videos. There are quite a few HD selections to choose from.
The models appear quite engaged most of the time and do not look like they are just standing around bored while scratching their butt.
The site does demand a premium price. But considering the amount of content and the number of sites offered in the network, I find it palitable. For me, it is worth the admission price.
If you are a photography fan, I would not hesitate to reccomend it. It is a must see. If you are into videos, you will likely find the content appealing as well. But for me, the site shines in the photo department. |

Good download speeds 95% of the time.
Only need to enter username and password once to access all sites in network.
Lots of browse and search options.
PU/TBP discount. |
| Cons: |
Expensive Euro based regional pricing (equivalent of $35 even with PU Discount)
Unfamiliar billing processor
Pre-checked cross sales
Cancellation request email was ignored.
The latest version of the site logo/watermark on photos is larger and more unsightly than previous versions; DDF in large black letters with what looks like a red dragon draped all around the letters, very distracting.
No zip for the small and medium photos might be a con for some although not an issue for me personally.
Little ethnic diversity amongst the models for those of us who like some Asian or darker skinned models.
Some duplication of content between the different sites
Some of the earliest content is poor quality although that’s to be expected on a site that’s been online nearly 12 years. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is one of those sites that has been on my list to join for years but the expensive Euro based regional pricing has always made it prohibitively expensive for me particularly considering my interest is only in solo glamour photo shoots so probably 80% of the network’s content is of no interest to me. I’ve only joined now thanks to an email promo offering a join price of 8.95 Euros and with the threat of a recurring billing of 34.95 Euros it was always going to be in for one month, grab as much as I can of what interests me and then cancel.
Since my main interest is solo photo content the site of most interest to me in the network was 1 By Day. It’s by far the largest site in the network with archives dating as far back as 2001 with almost 12 years of daily updates to check out. It’s the only site in the network that is still adding updates on a daily basis which is great for fans of solo content. It was a real treasure trove for a collector finding a lot of the early stuff of many of the top Euro models like Sophie Moone, Sandra Shine and Eve Angel. Being a fan of Eve Angel her solo site in the network Eve Angel Official was another attraction for me but I ended up being a little disappointed by it. As I’m not interested in the videos or lesbian content I just went through Eve’s site grabbing all her solo photo sets and ended up with just over 7,000 photos in 102 sets. There were a lot of very short photo sets with only around 30+ photos; I don’t know how anyone is supposed to enjoy a nice clothed to naked strip in such small photo sets. For me the old Eve Angel site was far superior to this one in terms of the photo content available.
DDF Busty was another site where I found a lot of nice solo scenes of some amazingly busty models. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many large breasts in one place. There were some models that were quite large all over who might be considered borderline BBW but I found plenty of sexy large breasted models with nice figures that I wanted to download. This site is still updating on average 3 times per week. Although I’ve never been a great fan of foot fetish content I do love women wearing stockings and heels so also found plenty of nice sets to download over at Hot Legs and Feet. I did find a lot of the sets here were from the same shoots on 1 By Day but with additional shots of feet and legs added. This site is also still adding 3 updates per week.
Hairy Twatter is quite a new site with earliest content from June 2011. The theme of the site is girls with naturally hairy unshaven pussies in a variety of solo, g/g and b/g scenes. So far there are only 77 scenes and 51 models with 1 new scene being added each week. There’s none of the extreme hairy scary stuff here that turns me off from joining some of the other dedicated hairy themed sites out there. Euro Teen Erotica just features some of the more youthful looking babes on the network. I’m not quite sure if much of the content is exclusive to that site; when I started browsing it I was seeing a lot of scenes duplicated from 1 By Day. Sex Video Casting gives you the chance to see many of your favourite models in an amateur casting scenario without all the glamour styling and make up. It’s quite surprising how average many of these models look without the professional styling. Also most of these casting videos tend not to have the HD option which I presume is to give them more of an amateur feel.
The other sites in the network had little interest to me. Sandys Fantisies is the solo site of Hungarian model Sandy and is just an archive site that’s not been updated since 2007. Cherry Jul is the solo site of a slender small breasted Russian babe currently with 93 scenes and adding 1 scene per week. Euro Girls On Girls is a lesbian site with 466 scenes and adding 1 scene per week, Hands On Hardcore is dedicated to hardcore action and also adding 1 scene per week and Only Blowjob is fairly self-explanatory and updating 3 times per week. House Of Taboo is where you will find all the more kinky stuff including bondage, peeing, fisting, spanking and plenty of kinky leather and latex fetish wear.
Overall as a first time subscriber I found enough high quality content to keep me busy for a month even with my fairly narrow interests, in fact I’ve probably downloaded enough content to keep me busy for another month or two after my subscription has ended. Despite my not being interested in many of the network sites I feel it would be unjust to score the site any less than a 90 bearing in mind the vast amount and variety of high quality content available particularly for first time subscribers. Returning members may find some issues with recycling or remastering of older content though. |

| Pros: |
-Super high quality photography. Probably the best I've seen on network level, only beaten by some artsy sites that offer much less otherwise
-1080p H.264 video is flawless if slightly too large in file size
-Very good looking models with some that you don't find so often on other major Euro sites
-Backlog of nearly 10000 scenes
-Sites are very true to their niche. Nothing feels watered down, girls on DDFBusty are busty, HotLegsAndFeet has strong leg/feet focus, HouseOfTaboo is always kinky etc.
-Technical side is good. Quite fast downloads (7 megs per second on dl manager), multiple options for viewing photos, zipped photosets and so on |
| Cons: |
-Recycling. By far my biggest gripe on this site. Basically there is nothing wrong in giving old great scenes a spotlight but the way it's done is outright cheap. The old scenes are sneakily removed, then re-relased some time later as part of the advertised update schedule. Sometimes the preview images even get a 1080p stamp no matter what the truth is
-Slightly slowish rate of truely new scenes, especially those with hardcore content
-Split releases of new scenes in some cases, HouseOfTaboo especially
-Regional pricing. It's not a straight euro/dollar sign change but not fully equal one either
-Quite expensive compared to main competition with pricing and update structure that does not encourage prolonged membership |
| Bottom Line: |
DDFNetwork is probably quite well known to many being one of the largest and longest running Euro sites with a reputation of high quality and beautiful models. Today the network consists of 13 separate sites, some of which are more active, some just archives of old scenes. The sites are:
1ByDay: The largest site where the network apparently originated. Over 4000 scenes focusing on solo and nude scenes. Older ones have hardcore too
HotLegsAndFeet: Over 2000 scenes of foot and leg fetish
SandysFantasies: An archive of old scenes of Sandy and others
OnlyBlowJob: Focuses on oral sex, both ways. Older scenes are often clipped from full scenes but new ones seems made for the purpose
HandsOnHardcore: Male/female hardcore in varying numbers of participants. Updates little too slowly and with many recycled scenes
DDFBusty: Big tits in solo and hardcore action. Pleasantly serious about the size of them tits
HouseOfTaboo: Personal favorite. Creative and inspired selection of various fetishes. Top quality but some niches may leave you cold
CherryJul: Selection of old Cherry Jul scenes. Solo, lesbian and male/female. Very nice but obviously older content
EuroGirlsOnGirls: Lesbian site leaning towards the teeny category
EuroTeenErotica: Younger ladies in solo, lesbian and male/female scenes. Sometimes with awkward props and clothing
EveAngelOfficial: Eve Angel in various setups. Alone and with other girls
SexVideoCasting: Casting type action, solo and male/female. I think the low quality is part of the genre
HairyTwatter: Hairier side of the entertainment. Nothing ridiculous but still not my kind of porn
All these sites are very high in quality of photography with the exception of the casting site. Videos look very good in high definition 720p and 1080p when available while the older content obviously looks slightly aged. This network has always had the top selection of models available and production and photography/video shooting is very professional. Personally I'm more into photos and these guys arguably have the best photography of all the big sites. While the image size has not changed over the last years and some sites have overtaken in this matter, the 2000pix wide is still more than most can see on their screens.
The backlog is huge with nearly 10000 separate scenes. The numbers are however a bit misleading as in the past when the sites were separate the scenes used to be released on all individual sites if the content matched their niche. One can easily notice this by making a category search that returns same scene multiple times in a row.
Where this network does not always shine is the number of all new updates. Especially if one is into hardcore, he might really spend weeks waiting for anything suiting his fancy. The only site updating with guaranteed hardcore scenes is HandsOnHardcore and unfortunately they have one of the least frequent update schedules with old recycled scenes often re-released.
I give the score of 90 as an average of what it would be to different kinds of users. If you are new to this site, I'd call this very highly recommendable up to score of 95. There is so much to view and download in the archive of this network that one month probably is not long enough membership for one to lose taste even with heavy use and wide bandwidth. For prolonged memberships however it is not my choice of site. Surely I join again and again but sometimes whole weeks may go by without nothing really cathing your attention and you feel like you are wasting quite expensive membership. One of the best sites at what it does, I only wish it did more of it. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
