| Pros: |
-Attractive, often gorgeous models, often shot early in their careers. Upscale location(s) for the photo shoots help out too.
-Excellent video quality! The HD videos are really good!
-I really like the pussy close up videos-they are very well done.
-Many of the masturbation videos end with real orgasms and oozing girl cum.
-Most of the models have an interview video that does a good job of letting you get to know them a little better. The models can also post a comment on their experience with FTV after the shoot is done.
-They do have occasional lesbian videos which I think are well done. I really liked Malena Morgan and her gf. |
| Cons: |
-the photo sets are almost an after-thought, and although they are pretty good in general, the one thing they lack is size (many are only 1500 px on the long dimension). This is probably my biggest gripe, especially since they have so many really hot models.
-site navigation could be improved with a better search engine. Its organized by update date, and you can search models alphabetically. Having said that, from my perspective there really are no search tags that can reliably find models I really like. You never really know until you watch their videos.
-there seems to be just a few main locations that most of the videos are shot, so you will start to recognize them again and again. One place that they use for most of the outdoor shoots is some type of office building--usually there aren't many people around, so it appears they go out there on the weekends. There is also a nice house (mansion really) that they use for the indoor shoots. Still, more variety would be nice. |
| Bottom Line: |
FTV stands for "first time videos", and while it may not be true for every model that FTV was her first porn shoot, its probably not far off. Many of the girls still have a youthful energy and innocence that you usually don't see in your average experienced porn star.
FTV has been around for quite a while, so there is a lot of content to go through if you are a first time member. It took me 4 months to go through the most recent three years or so. The updates only come once a week (one new model, each with about 9 to 12 videos and 4 or 5 photo sets), so its not a site that I would stay joined to forever. Rather, its the type of site that you go back to once a year or so, after your initial membership.
FTV has a few themes that feature heavily in its videos: public nudity and flashing (usually 2 or 3 of a models vids will include this); masturbating with extremely large dildos, vegetables, and/or hands (fisting); and real masturbation videos that often include extreme pussy close ups. The public nudity and extreme insertions don't really do much for me, but I love their masturbation and pussy close up videos. That along with the model interviews, "freshness" of the models, and excellent video quality are what I really liked about this site.
Bottom line: there is a huge amount of quality content here. Definitely worth joining! |

| Pros: |
- A long-running site that is a good place to start as a porn collector.
- 1920x1080 on the videos over the last 3 years
- Pictures come zipped
- Weekly update could be considered a con
- They do continuously get amateur models in their first or at least close to their first shoots
- Good download speeds, around 90% of my max download speed. |
| Cons: |
- My biggest gripe is with the pictures. I never understood the purpose of having a "superpic" section where the webmaster decides to put 3000 high end and 4000 high end zips for his favorite sets. These are not that often and the vast majority of sets are only 1600 high end.
- Has been in a slow decline, could be because I've joined it once or twice a year, will further in BL.
- That one weekly update just isn't enough and will further this as well.
- No real reason to complain about it since they do separate the videos into parts based on the action, but it's becoming a con to me not to be able to download full scenes. |
| Bottom Line: |
FTV has had its really strong years. If you've never joined the site would score higher than I'm scoring it, but I just can't give it a higher score based on my most recent join.
I'll start by saying I had everything I wanted from the site up until March 2011's updates. I have always liked their style of photography and most of the videos as well and have kept those on an external. I probably wouldn't have rejoined if not for a promo that dropped the price nearly in half. Even then, as a returning member, I'm not for sure I feel like I got my money's worth. For this whole membership, I downloaded and will keep:
14 models, videos and pictures.
I'm sure the everyone has different tastes rule applies here, but only 14 models appealing to me out of 70-75 since my last membership just isn't good, at least not for me. In comparison, I have over 200 FTV models, so you can see how it has declined for me. I would normally find 30-40 per year I liked, this time it was 14 in 20 months.
It's possible it could be more than just the model's not appealing to me. The scenes, similar to how they have always been, have several videos for each model being more playful and acting silly than being nude. Maybe I'm just getting older and find those more irritating than cute? So you can decide on that one. If you like that style of porn you can disregard my negativity towards it.
The picture size is a no longer an excuse situation. Saying we're going to post 3000 or 4000 high end resolution photos on our (FTV) favorite sets and make the other 90% or higher only 1600 high end is unacceptable to me. You're catering to members not your own taste or maybe I'm wrong on that.
What this equals for me is a site that isn't appealing to me with as many models. Then you just get one update per week with a 1/5 chance I'm going to even like that model, only 4 updates per month, so my 1/5 chance isn't looking so good. A premium price if you join it without a promo, only to find out you only get the highest resolution photos for the sets they pick to do those high resolution ones on. Videos broken up into parts and the scroll like mad navigation, all of which are minor problems by themselves, but when added together make for a big problem. Something has to give. Either the price goes down or more updates or added or you give full scene downloads or you give 3000x4000 resolution pictures on all sets. Or be daring, give them all for the premium price and I won't bitch about the price.
Having said all this, I won't throw FTV completely under the bus, so to speak. They have their strengths. You will see pornstars you know of, but most of their sets were shot early in the model's career. You do get to see a different side of the models than on nearly all other sites. And when they do it, you get some of the best exhibitionism content available. If you've never joined it, I would give it one of my highest recommendations for a first time membership. You also will see some models you've never seen before and probably won't see them ever again. The video quality is as crystal clear in 1920x1080 as any 1080p porn videos I've seen. I think that just hurts the lower resolution photos since it's obvious they have the ability to shoot extremely high quality video. And the superpics section ends up becoming more of a poke from them to say, "we could be giving you these resolution photos on every set". May not be their intentions, but it sure seems that way.
I also don't care for the girl/girl content which has become more common. This just goes into a whole feeling of, there are lesbian sex sites out there that do it better. I didn't list this in cons though since it's no worse than having a pretty girl do cartwheels for 5 minutes. I do get the feeling and have had the feeling before that as a member, you're going to get content based on what the webmaster likes or has fetishes for and still feel that way. I would like to see more variation in the models too. There has never been a maximum age limit on the models and they used to shoot more mid to late 20s models. It now seems like a purely teen site in the newer updates.
As I'm leading to recommending it, there has to be some stipulations added here. If you've never been a member or have only been a member once or twice, it's still a definite join and recommendation. If you're like me and have the majority of the archive and are only missing the last year or so, look at the previews and decide if enough of the models would appeal to you. I should have, but I was shocked to find a promo through, I think Twistys, that I just jumped on the deal before checking out the newer updates. I'm running out of room, but will add a comment about what seems to be a slightly different version of their site, not for sure if it's a mobile version or if it's a new format since the promo I used sent me to it instead of the regular site. |

| Pros: |
-Consistent. Not much has changed since I was a member 2 years ago.
-The girls. If you like sexy white chicks that run the gamut from avg. to gorgeous, you'll get something out of FTV. (they have an exotic non-white girl here and there).
-Girls inserting large objects. One unique aspects of FTV is their penchant for having the girls stick massive vegetables and/or fruits inside them. Once in a while they'll shove a hand or fist in there for good measure.
-I was able to download zipfiles of pics rather quickly.
-Lots of hot videos of girls masturbating.
-Little synopsis of the scene and the director describes shooting with the model. |
| Cons: |
-The layout is a bit cumbersome. Also, visually they could reconfigure the site so it's more intuitive to navigate instead of just scrolling down...FOREVER.
-The girls' names! It seems more often than not FTV always has the names of the girls listed differently than what they are everywhere else. This is probably a testament to their ability to locate the newest, hottest girls. However, it's a pain in the butt to us pic collectors who would like to organize all of our pics by model. Thankfully there are unaffiliated blogs on the web that list girls by their FTV name AND their porn names.
-The price. They need to lower that price a bit. In my opinion this is good for once every two years but for less than half the price I can get better content.
-The video content meanders a bit. and I'm not a big fan of how they edit by splicing right in the middle of a scene so there's a slight jump in the audio and video. |
| Bottom Line: |
I seem to join this site every 2 years or so. I like FTV a lot, but for what it is, they should be commanding a subscription rate of $19.99. Even then, I think that's a bit too high. I give it an 83 because it is solidly a VERY GOOD site. However, there are solo glamor-shot type sites that in my opinion are slightly better, and update more frequently. With my latest stint with FTV coming to a conclusion in a matter of days, I definitely enjoyed my subscription this time around...see you in another two years FTV, maybe. |

| Pros: |
The girls are absolutely hot. There are lots of them. |
| Cons: |
Though the girls are hot, the photography is only average. It's not up to today's standards. The photo-shoots are average.
The site navigation is also outdated. I'd also like to add terrible. I feel it's like it's a site from 10 years ago.
The search option need work as well. How could you miss out on this aspect when you showcase so many models. It lacks depth and is confusing.
This site is really slow. I have a high speed connection (32 mbps on speedtest.net) and loading times are slow and choppy at times.
I have nothing to say about the vids. I didn't watch many of them. I'm a pictures guy. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've been wanting to try out this site for a long time now. Now that I've become a member, I'm very disappointed with it. I'm also disappointed that it got such a high rating considering lots of mediocre aspects. I didn't even download one set. I'm going back to my old porn collection. I'm dissatisfied with the content, site, and value praised about this site. |

*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.
