| Pros: |
-Lots of content
-Content is unique and original
-Multiple download options |
| Cons: |
-Often has very slow download speeds depending on the time of day
-Most videos are only available for download in clip formats.
-No ZIP downloads for pics.
-Many of the sites are dead. |
| Bottom Line: |
Okay, the little stuff first. The website is pretty easy to navigate, which is always a plus. When searching for a particular star, I recommend typing in the name rather than trying to search through the alphabetical listing. Those listings are either by letter (which will show you every scene by every performer starting with that name and not in alphabetical order) or you can do a search in alphabetical order (but there is no separation between letters and requires you to search through page after page until you find the performer you are looking for). That part is a mess, I know. You also have the option to search by genre or select whichever site you want, which goes without saying I suppose.
Now for the not so small stuff. I have to say I'm really disappointed in this site. It looked so promising with lots of really good porn, and for the most part, the porn is pretty good. It's unique and interesting. The visual quality is okay, but unless it's absolutely terrible, I'm not usually worried about something like that. Sure, HD quality would be nice, but in all honesty, it just takes up more space on the hard drive.
There are a lot of dead sites, which is understandable considering how long this network seems to have been around. However, only 7 or 8 out of the 52 available sites seem to be updating on any sort of regular basis.
Most of the videos are available for download as clips only, which, I could understand for the really old stuff, but it seems like if the material is more than a year old it gets put in the clip only bin. Then there are the pics which are not available for download as ZIP files. Honestly, everyone does that now, but not these guys.
Finally, we come to the download speeds, which can be really slow. I mean we're talking about less than 50 Kbps slow. When you put this together with large clip only downloads and no ZIP files, it makes me wonder if the owners of the network are having some serious issues with their bandwith.
In the end, I'm not sure I can recommend this network of sites. The content is good, but honestly, I don't think the download speed issues and the lack of ZIP files for the pics and numerous clip only downloads can over come the content. As they say, the devil is in the details. |

| Pros: |
- Many unique niches for everyones taste
- Updated several times a week
- A good mix of amateurs and professional models |
| Cons: |
- About 75% of the sites are dead
- Some of the sites are not "exclusive" footage
- Slow upload of pages and downloads
- Customer service could be better. Some difficulties when cancelling
- Navigation could be updated |
| Bottom Line: |
A unique network that has sites for many fetishes. Was a very good network 2 years ago, but needs to be updated now to become competition with other networks. |

| Pros: |
1. Large variety of videos and pictures on over 50 sites includes interesting and strange scenes.
2. I've joined Meat Members many times over several years and the price just keeps getting better: First time I joined it was about $35, then $29.95, now with the Best Porn Discount it's just $17.95/mo USD for tons of content. |
| Cons: |
1. Very, very slow downloads.
2. Content per site is much more limited than before with apparent "recycling" of old content as new after a hiatus of sorts. As a member many times before, there was a lot more content then for each site; now there are more sites with less content on each.
3. New system for finding content is now more poorly set up than before, and content-finding is very hit-and-miss. For example, put in the first letter of a model's name and thumbnails of scenes appear in no apparent order (definitely not alphabetical). You can't search by typing in a whole name. While the new setup makes it look like you can search all sites more quickly (similar to category and site-search found on other networks), the searches are very disorganized and lead to grainy thumbnails that don't seem very appealing at all and don't do justice to the actual content....so it's pretty much searching for the needles in the haystack. |
| Bottom Line: |
Despite its second-class content and site search functions, there's still some good stuff on this network (that's why I keep coming back). The lower price makes me willing to put up with the less appealing elements mentioned above. |

| Pros: |
- 58 different websites all of them with exclusive content, about 160 models and somewhere around 10 to 40 videos per site. So yeah, a lot of content to download/ look at.
- as a bonus they offer access to a bunch of DVD's. Only streaming but hey I know some sites that have just the streaming DVD's as a main attraction.
- very nice browsing features. You can select site, or category or go by date or popularity...very nice, makes it easier to sort through the massive amounts of porn on here.
- you can download parts of the video or a whole WMV or MPG or stream the video as flash. However, not all videos have that, only the more recent ones have the mpg option and some of the really old content has only streaming or downloading by parts (usually 2-3 parts)
- a lot of very hot scenes with the likes of Hillary Scott and some other known porn stars. Also some real hardcore anal and gagging.
- calendar with updates and an update per day (almost...some days skip about 4 or 5 per month |
| Cons: |
= while the site now offers a search through the whole network (THANK YOU!) you can still see the inconsistency between the various sites as some are basically dead (no updates/ no downloads)
- has adds that are often made to look like just another part of the site. I clicked on adult friend finder more often than I ever wanted to...
- a lot of the content on different sites is similar. I for one couldn't tell the difference between fucked up facials and cum filled mouths...I almost wish they would group some of the smaller websites and just make one big site (this doesn't mean that there isn't variation. We have anal, hentai, group sex etc.. but there are three or four websites in each category instead of one big one)
- more amateurs or teenager-looging girls would have been nice, but this might be subjective...it depends on how much you like new faces or well known pornstars...
- no way to download photos (you can watch them in a sideshow on-line though) |
| Bottom Line: |
This site feels like one of the big sites. A lot of content, a lot of hot scenes, but a tad bit lacking in personality and it definitely doesn't make you feel like it's something special.
Maybe it's the fact that I've been browsing smaller websites for the last month or maybe I'm getting older, but being on here left me with a strange feeling of just looking at another porn video. Sure it's hot and seeing porn is interesting...but it's just another porn video....
What the heck do I mean? Think about it this way, i you join a place like SuicideAngels and then a place like this you can clearly tell the difference. In the first one you feel like you're part of the community, you wait for a certain model to go from photos to videos and you're happy when a model had a good time... here you're just watching porn. Which is not bad but somehow I often felt like I could get the same type of video somewhere else (the content is all exclusive theoretically.)
But enough of my subjective opinion.
The site does what it promises and I already have several gigabytes full of scenes from here. Some videos are better than others and some have more hardcore then others. However there are a lot of stocking scenes and a lot of anal as well as creampie. Also there is a nice hentai section if you're interested but don't want to get a subscription to a site just for that.
Scenes differ in set-up some having a shorty story others just playing music and getting straight to the sex. Most of the camera work is good, and the quality allows for a nice picture on most videos. More options for size of video would have been nice though as sometimes you get a 1000mb WMV as the only download choice while other videos only have parts of the whole as downloads.
The models are mostly hot although they almost all have that porn star look. The asian models look cute though so if you like that...oh and the girls in the fucked up video series look interesting most of the time (latex masks and latex boots and the such if you like some fetish roleplay...)
All and all, this is a good website which definitely improved from the last user review ()network wide searched and unified theme are some of the biggest improvements.) However, it's not a site for those looking to find something special or a network. This is not Nublies or Pornpros where every video feels unique... On the bright side you get a lot of content so that has to compensate at least a little :) |

| Pros: |
+100% exclusive content
+Long list of network sites organizing content by type
+New updated layout makes it very easy to see new additions to the network
+HiRes caps are available for scenes
+Site is friendly to dial-up users as all movies are offered in split files, with choices of HQ or LQ.
+All movies offered as MPG or WMV
+Older movies are still are very high quality
+Newer scenes offer non-split file download.
+Superb download speeds
+PlatinumFeeds DVD archive site provided as bonus. I love this bonus site, ridiculous amount of DVDs on their site, although you can't download them by conventional means, have to use a stream downloader, and the movies are not split.
+Continuous creation new network sites (see cons also).
+List of upcoming scenes provided with expected date of arrival
+You can download that controversial scene with Courtney Simpson where she is wearing her ASU cheerleader uniform, although the hi-res images blur the ASU text. |
| Cons: |
-No organization by performer over all sites like other network sites offer (RealityKings, BangBros, Brazzers, etc.). You have to go through every site to find stuff.
-Update schedule not great (~1 scene/day), but has improved over time
-Some of the network sites use the very old layout (which is like night compared to day when compared to the newer layout)
-While they have a long list of network sites more than half of them have not seen an update in a long time (2007, and sometimes even 2006)
-Mixture of video standards. Oldest content only available as 320x240MPG, newer movies offered in non-standard 5:4 resolutions (450x300, 360x240), older content available in standard 640x480 and 320x240, while some videos are stretched 720x480. Rather annoying.
-Older content only offered in split files, no joined file available
-Watermarks are on all videos
-Continuous creation of new network sites detracts from updating older network sites.
-Site directory does not list last-update text. |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall it is a decent purchase, although I wouldn't recommend holding on to it for anymore than a month at a time. All the downloads have no DRM and they never remove any content (as evidenced by the fact that they never removed the controversial scene with Courtney Simpson and her ASU uniform), so you might as well just buy a month here and there, like I do. $29.95 is expensive in my book, but you get more than you would with DVD sites because 100% of the content is exclusive.
If you have never had meatmembers membership before, you have not missed much and you are joining at the best time. All the content is the same and they just keep updating the site for the better, improving the layout immensely. The current layout is the best it has ever been - it is easily navigated and you can see when content was added to the site and keep track of new additions. Back in the day there was no list of recent additions. You had to go through every one of their 30-some sites and check for new additions manually, and at that time the layout on each network site did not list dates, or a nice thumbnail layout like you will find now. If you want to know what I mean, if you join MeatMembers goto the Meatholes site. That site still maintains the very old layout, where you have like 20 pages (where there is no page directory, but a set of back and forward page buttons), and each page has 5 scenes per page where you scroll down these excessively long pages to view the preview images of the scenes. All the scenes are titles like "Scene #103", "Scene #104", etc. No dates. That was the dark days of this site. You pretty much had to write down the last scene number you saw.
Later updates to the site added a new additions list but missed a lot of new additions, still requiring users to go through all 30-some network sites to find additions they missed.
However, even with the improvements you will still find yourself going through all the network sites (you get used to it eventually). The last con I listed "Site directory does not list last-update text", is important. Even though the layout has been updated and you get to see all the recent additions, there is no text anywhere showing you when the network sites were last updated. So you have no clue if a site was last updated 2 years ago or yesterday without visiting it manually. So I still find myself going through all the 30-40 some network sites to see if I missed updates.
And this is why I put MeatMembers in the "average" category. There is a lot of things it can improve upon:
1) update the layout on some of their network sites which have not been updated to the most recent (e.g. MeatHoles)
2) list the last updated date under each network site
3) provide videos in standard 4:3 resolutions
4) standardize resolutions (too many different standards available)
5) remaster oldest content |

| Pros: |
- Large network at a reasonable price
- Almost daily updates
- Fast downloads
- Most scenes have pictures or vidcaps
- DRM-free |
| Cons: |
- Full movie downloads only for some sites' latest movies
- Very slow member site
- Non-exclusive content: DVD-ripped content
- Most sites not updating: some sites have been abandoned since 2006 |
| Bottom Line: |
This network had a lot of potential when I joined. There was a large selection of sites (53) with different themes, although most could be grouped into anal sex, facials, and lesbian sex. The price was right at $29.95 for all sites access. However, I was disappointed when I finally got to the member's section and realized that most of the videos on the site would have to be downloaded in parts.
After combing through all of the network sites, I have found the following to have full movie downloads as of 11/12/08: Anal Cum Junkies (1), Anal Lick Fest (2), Cat Fight Gang Bang (all 30+), Fucked Up Facials (3), Its Facials (all 10), and No Cum Dodging Allowed (all 9 since 7/18/08). Out of 53 sites, only 6 had any full movie downloads at all. Also, many sites have been simply abandoned, including Double Dip'Er, Creamed Cornholes, and Riot Whores, which haven't been updated since 2006.
Some other things of note: navigation is very slow, even on a 20mbps down cable connection; despite slow navigation, download speeds were reasonable; many movies appear to be DVD rips from a similar DVD series, such as Hellfire Sex.
Overall, I came away disappointed by this network. I'm glad that I didn't pay $29.95 for any of the individual sites as that would have been a waste of money. For the entire network, I think it is a reasonable price. But know what you're getting first. |

| Pros: |
- 46 Sites included in this big network
- If you like extreme hardcore, this is about as extreme as it gets.
- Some of the sites have up to 640 high end on their videos
- The sites with pictures do have zip downloads
- Good download speeds |
| Cons: |
- Only found 4 of the sites to be interesting.
- Price is too high, there are other networks with similar content with better quality for lower prices
- Most of the sites were on the small side, I think they could easily group some of these together.
- Some of the sites videos are below 400 on high end, come on people, it is 2008, 640 just about has to be considered the happy medium
- Even the sites that had a theme that I was interested in, didn't really live up to that theme |
| Bottom Line: |
This was one of those joins that I wasn't for sure about, but I saw where they had some Sativa Rose content and a few others that I like so I will take the one month plunge.
Most of these sites on this network just scream, "generic" content. They have several blowjob sites, and I will never understand why they need more than one site, just put them all on one. I am starting to think networks do this, not just to be able to advertise a higher number of sites than their competition, but also thinking that most people won't fool with visiting the 6 different blowjob sites.
The quality at best is average on the videos. Most of the sites best quality videos are 445 high end, a few do have 640 high end. Having picture zips is always a nice feature, but all of the sites don't have pictures and the pictures aren't high resolution.
The overly violent content will definitely make some not even consider, so let me add that while I have seen worse in porn, the violence level here is pretty high if you are offended easily. You get a lot of throat gagging.
I'm not really into the models who have pounds of make-up on, especially when their eye shadow ends up smeared from being choked.
Best sites, the POV ones are pretty good, Catfight Gangbang is pretty good, Hellfire Sex is pretty good if you are into goth looks and Tease it Out is pretty good. I didn't keep anything from the other sites. Overall, I can't recommend it unless you like extreme very hardcore sex. |

| Pros: |
+ Some very solid sites
+ Lots of content
+ Great selection of girls
+ Nice selection of niches
+ Movies have screen shots
+ Some sites are updating making the movie and picture quality better |
| Cons: |
- Some movies have missing parts
- Some sites haven't been updated for while (Some 2006)
- Picture options were offered with some movies when there are no pictures in the link
- really messy navigation, most have sites follow the same navigation system, about two have one that are even worse!
- No search function at all
- Movies are broken down into parts, the least I have seen is 4 the most is 25! (Only the older ones had 25) |
| Bottom Line: |
I enjoyed meatmebers content, this website does a few things right, yet at the same times really needs to work on certain things to make itself better.
What works for the website is the great amount of content and all the niches this site has to offer, I really enjoyed the reality websites this site has such as Frank Wank and Midnight Prowl. The websites that are being focused on have great content and is getting better over time. The girls that are shown in the movies, are all very attractive, there were barely any that I thought were very unattractive, and nice range of popular porn stars and some amateur girls are shown here. Finally is the content, some content on this site is original and some that is not, overall I did enjoy most of content, I also enjoyed most the niches that were offered.
What this site needs to work is the navigation!!! It is very simple, yet at the same time I did not find it easy to find the content I liked, no search function at all makes it hard to find the movie you want. Movie quality is inconstant between some sites, and the older movies. Also that most of the sites are not being updated at all. The web-masters seems to have no creativity in the layout of the site.
To warp things up, I did enjoy this website. If some of the websites interests you specifically the ones that are being updated then it's worth checking out, it does take time to get use to site's navigation, but once you figure it out, you can spend a lot time here |

*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.
