Pros:
-Exceptionally high quality of production
-These guys have lots of ideas, good selection of props and shooting locations and apparently a large wardrobe
-Unlike most sites on DDF Network, this one is still updating almost entirely with all new, non recycled content
-Hot European models with good variety
-Frequent updates, many times a week
-Close to 650 existing scenes at the moment
-Wide variety of fetishes without too much softcore
Cons:
-Complete scenes are divided into up to four separate updates, some of which may contain some part totally uninteresting to one. For example pt1. spanking, pt2. toys, pt3. sex.
-Wide variety of fetishes unfortunately means you usually are not into some of them resulting in wasted updates
-The same few aging guys that apparently are 95% of euro porn male work force
-1080p in mp4 would be nice although wmv is good
-Image size starts feeling bit outdated at 2000 pixel wide
-Not the fastest downloads around, 5-7 megs a second is not bad though. Site can be a bit sluggish too at times
-Occassionally excessive file size. Almost one gigabyte per 10 minutes is too much. I've seen sharper reuslts with half the ratio using H.264
Bottom Line:
DDF Network currently has 13 different sub sites, each updating with different frequency and more or less new material. In my opinion House of Taboo is clearly the best site in the network when it comes to the quality, the originality and the freshness of material. House of Taboo features a variety of fetishes from spanking to pissing to bondage, latex and medical play. The best thing is that the site is quite hardcore too which cannot be taken for granted as sadly fetish often means softcore in the world of adult sites.
The counter side to the variety is of course the negative point that you only get so much of stuff that does anything to you if you are only into say spanking. Even though the site updates thrice a week, the number is in truth quite inflated since a single scene can be split into spanking section, toys section, sex section and pissing section, each posted separately. I for example only care about the middle two so half of one scenes updates can go by me. It's good to notice that the scenes on this site are almost entirely fresh ones and not recycled old ones.
The quality is great in terms of production, technical details, inspiration and models. Photography is the best I've seen although they could add higher resolution sets since many already own monitors with higher resoltion than their max 2000 pixel wide images. Videos are right on the top although there is a minor nitpick too: They are quite huge in file size. If you ask me, 21Sextury has slight edge in crisp image and colors but their H.264 files are significantly smaller. House of Taboo has a nice variety of (female) models with different style and looks with handfull I've not seen before in other networks (Linet, Tigerr Benson for example). Scenes have great variety and the same props are not over used. The settings differ between differnt houses, outdoors and so on, not too many shady basements unlike on many other bondage sites.
For me this is a site that nearly alone justifies the subscription to DDF Network. Only thing I could wish for was more updates, especially of bondage sex variety but that's always the case with me I guess. My cons are mostly minor nitpickings, I consider this site one of the best ones I've seen so far. I need to rise my old score few points as the quality has gotten better in these one and half years and the site still delivers.

Pros:
-Over 500 videos and pic sets to choose from.
-Most videos can be downloaded in WMV, MP4 and Quicktime. They offer standard resolution at 720x405 and HD at 1280x720
-You can stream videos in Flash.
-Pics sets can be viewed online or downloaded as a complete set.
-There is a wide selection of models to choose from.
-They have some nice fetishes to choose from like watersports, spanking, latex, bondage to name a few.
-A good selection of models. Most of them being Eastern Europeans porn performers
Cons:
-They don't update very often and it's difficult to tell what is and isn't new content since they don't date any of it.(except on the preview page)
-Some of their scenes are split in 2 or more sections and these aren't updated at the same time but over a certain number of weeks.
-Some of the updates are older scenes that have been given a facelift and now come in better video resolution.
-They update with some leased content.
-Some of the content appears to be from some of their other sites.
Bottom Line:
-This is another site under the ddf network and one that lives more on it's connection to that network rather than it's own merit. It would not have gotten as high a score if it weren't for the automatic access to the network.
-This one suffers from some of the same issues that plague Handsonhardcore. They don't update regularly. Their updates aren't necessarily new scenes as much as re-issued older ones. They now have leased content and also use content from some of their other sites. Add the fact that they don't date their material and this makes it hard to know what is and isn't new material.
-I guess this site still has some good stuff to offer but mostly for new porn surfer. Older memebers will probably feel more cheated than satisfied.
*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.

It appears that one of my minor complaints is also an issue of the past. FullHD is now also available in mp4. The file size is still large though but good to have other options besides wmv.
it seems to me as if House of Taboo get's updated several times per week but not daily and it's always only one video or a picture series that is being released. Given the fact that this kind of content is not the usual vanilla sex I'd say it's o.k. with me.
And finally I received an answer on my request about one of the models :-)

Hi there, I'd like to know who the older model named Madam Domina is that punishs Lolly Cat? I'm referring to a mature blonde surely from Eastern Europe with a tribal going from the right shoulder down to her right breast plus she has one tribal on her back being a tramp stamp ;-) Is she featured somewhere else on a DDF site? Any help is highly appreciated as she's a very hot chick. Thanks in advance and a happy New Year! Smut
