| Pros: |
Huge selection (as big as other similar networks)
A pretty nice exclusives sections
Slightly higher res than competitors (most available at 720x540)
A very nice media player and information layout
Amazing price (currently signed up at $10/month) |
| Cons: |
Can't find a way to browse by multiple tags. I pick a category and I can't further refine my search
Some videos are tagged incorrectly, but with however many thousand scenes, this is understandable.
Sometimes there are site hiccups, but this seems to have gotten better. |
| Bottom Line: |
It has everything the other big DVD sites have and a little more at an amazing price. If they let me browse by multiple tags then I will stay a member for awhile. |

| Pros: |
+ Large selection of DVDs. Over 5328 listed as of todate, broken down into 27700 videos (scenes).
+ Streaming is of excellent quality at 640x480. Compared to VideoBox it streamed very smoothly even with seven simultaneous downloads going on.
+ Downloads are available in three different formats. Small mp4s for handheld devices, medium 480x320 for wmv and H264 format (mp4) at 640x480.*
*Recent addition of wmv files at 720x480 at 2628kbps.
+ Huge Pictures Archive (over 2 Million listed)
+ Clean design of Home Page with exclusive scenes listed on top, a featured star in the middle and the latest additons to the DVD selection on the bottom. Updates to 55 special sites are featured on the right.
+ Search is quite easy. It allows you to look for models, latest videos, scenes, categories, Dvd series through a drop down menu which often offers extra search options. HOWEVER: search is often inaccurate and gives results that don't fit what you were looking for. |
| Cons: |
- Forget about the pictures. If you look at them and download them individually in "large" mode they are 768x1024 px, however if you should choose to download them zipped they are in a very antiquated 600x800 px format. Download of a complete set, for testing purposes, was done with the latest set offered (Sept.11).
- I listed the ability to download in three different formats as a plus but as you can see, quality could be better.*
*see above for additional choice
- Of the fifty-five bonus sites listed many have not updated since 2006-2007. The ones that are still being updated are often updated once a month only. It would be better to look at them as an extra bunch of scenes you can view (today's figure 1933 scenes).
- Download speed still a tad low for a broadband user (250 - 350 KB/s average, sometimes even a bit less) but by downloading seven scenes simultaneously as a trial (average file size 300 - 600 MB) I still managed to download all in an hour. So, all in all, not bad. |
| Bottom Line: |
Despite all the cons I still think that Porn.com is an excellent value for those who love DVDs. No doubt you will have seen many of them before, seeing that most are non-exclusive, but there are quite a few that were new to me and therefore would make a subscription at $ 10.00 US very worthwhile.
And it is a site that makes browsing fun because their streaming is so good (for me.) It allows me to watch a whole scene or look around, while tons of stuff is downloading in the background.
Now comes my biggest problem with not only Porn.com but with its sister site Download Pass, while they have the contents I like and while I like the sites themselves and their lay-out just fine I do not like the way they conduct business.
I cancelled (to see how cancellation worked now that they have made some adjustments) and while the process went flawlessly when I used the url given in the original receipt of my subscription I noticed two very unlikeable things: one, there was a pre-checked offer of a free trial to another site that would renew at its usual ridiculous price (39? 49? Dollars) so if you should forget to un-check the offer ... well you know the rest. A user in a hurry might not notice, so Porn.com please get rid of anything pre-checked, and two, I was promised an acknowledgment of my cancellation by email and once again, just as with Download Pass, it never arrived. No, it's not in my Spam folder!
They never re-billed me last time, so I'm a bit more relaxed about it this time around but this should not happen with a reputable Billing company and tends to make the user nervous.
I sure wish, not only for my sake but for theirs as well that they picked a billing company like CCBill or Epoch to put people more at ease about subscribing.
Summing up: If you are willing to put up with a bit of nail-biting re. billing and are careful with pre-checked offers upon leaving I do recommend the site to DVD lovers for its large and varied contents. I like the site very much and once I find that I won't be rebilled after my cancellation I might just return to it. The price is certainly right.

Another few short remarks before leaving: I got amazing results re. speed when using DownThemAll through Firefox. The only way to go!
Their security measures are still overdone and annoying: On top of a username and password you also have to provide a personal identification number and type in a CAPCHA (security code).
Hidden among all the stuff you have seen before there are quite a few German videos that you haven't. A knowledge of German would help but they are still quite interesting even if the sound is turned off. Be prepared for a long leading up to the main action, though, it's the European way. Just type in "German" under search and you will be led there.
It's been a positive experience for me, now we'll see in two days how the cancellation goes because I never did get that promised email acknowledgment. |

| Pros: |
- Alot of content
- Updates daily with around 25 scenes as average, during the month i've been a member atleast
- Nice previews in flash video player
- Details about every scene with title, actor and so on
- No DRM, no download limits
- Some exclusive content to Porn.com
- Only $10 for a monthly membership
- Preview pictures for every video |
| Cons: |
- Not much of the content is exclusive
- The search system could be more all round, just basic of search by term and show relevance
- The quality of the videos are just alright, not even close to any HD
- Alot of scenes mixed between categories, confusing if you wanna take them one by one
- Very few updates on the exclusive sites |
| Bottom Line: |
This site was something i felt i had to check out, and i don't really know if i should be pleased or dissapointed with my one month as a member. Sure, i found some scenes to extend my collection with, but the quality is just alright and the scenes aren't really some that stand out from the rest, mostly just in the middle of the crowd stuff. Most of the content worth saving can be downloaded in pretty much a day and then you login perhaps once a week to check updates, but for the low price of $10 for a monthly membership i don't really feel like i threw my money away, but i won't stay as a recurring member since there isn't enough to see on the site. |

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.

| Pros: |
-4,500 DVDs total. 4 new DVDs added daily.
-40+ exclusive reality sites. But only 3-4 updates per week.
-Both real photos and screen captures from DVD scenes.
-Video high resolution is Divx (xvid codec): 576x432 2000kbps.
-Also available as WMV (480x360 1000kbps) or low resolution MP4.
-Cool and pretty accurate "find similar stars" features.
-Decent metadata: female and male cast, production date.
-Simple search engine but seems to be pretty accurate.
-Free tour shows everything you will find inside.
-Download Pass and Mega Site Pass under a single membership. |
| Cons: |
-Very low speed: rarely over 100 Kbytes/s; often much less.
-Download managers, futile: links die fast and are non-resumable.
-DVD scenes renamed to custom scene description in search results: no info on what DVD they come from.
-Featured star hides DVD info.
-Inconsistent page design: featured vs search vs non-featured.
-Too simple streaming: play, pause, skip are the only options.
-Some of the reality scenes may also be found at DVD sites.
-Like most DVD sites, there's a huge overlap with other sites.
-Somewhat small images: longest axis is only 1024px.
-ZIP files have always 25 pictures regardless of gallery size.
-Site design looks outdated compared to similar sites.
-Download Pass or Porn.com watermarks on all videos.
-Gay and transexual content intermixed in search results.
-Case-sensitive CAPTCHA login. Sessions timeout in minutes. |
| Bottom Line: |
First time I heard of Porn.com was probably when the domain sold for 9.7 million USD in 2007. I came across it some time ago while browsing for discounts at TBP. I guess people who type Porn.com or just Porn directly on their browser's address bar are the main visitors.
This site tries to be a lot of things but, in my humble opinion, they get it wrong more often than right. Like their new picture search engine: looks pretty cool and well-thought out but, in the end, you get 1024px big photos and zip files with only a sample of the gallery. In general, I feel they should rethink how they display the information in search results and porn star pages.
Porn.com was painfully slow for me. What's worse, you get only one chance to download a video: once you start downloading, the URL is instantly dead for retries so resuming a paused download is not possible. On top of it, querying downloads is neither an option since URLs change every hour or so. Streaming speed isn't good either: you must hit pause and wait for a long time if you want to avoid eating up the buffer. There was an entry at their official blog on 03/20/09 entitled "Porn.com gets porn fast" [sic] that contained a very true sentence: "I urge you to free your porn from slow downloads!!". Roger. Canceling my membership was quite easy.
Another thing I didn't like about Porn.com was the Featured Star option. Good side is they often get some exclusive footage and video interview; bad side is that, once a star becomes featured, her page gets an unusable layout where there's no information on what DVDs her scenes come from, just those absurd scene descriptions that seem to be a trademark of this site. To top it all, streaming interviews of featured stars are non-pausable and, because of the slow speed, it's impossible to view them but in short unintelligible bursts.
Despite all this, if they solved the speed issues (speed for American users is likely better than those I got in Europe) this would be a recommendable site by its sheer amount of content even though, as in any DVD site, there's a huge overlap with what other companies offer; average production date seems to be a bit older than usual and there's not a lot of very recent content but this could easily be a pro for some.
Some of the reality scenes aren't that exclusive since they have been released as DVDs and are available at any big DVD website (Whale Tail 'N, for instance). What I could see of Brother Undercover seemed an interesting politically incorrect twist on the interracial genre. |

| Pros: |
Their movie collection is amazing
They have image zips
The site design is great |
| Cons: |
Slow Slow Slow Slow Site.
Slow Slow Slow Slow Downloads.
Updates are stupid as hell.
-_- |
| Bottom Line: |
Ok, so I decided to join this site again after taking a break for a year, so here I am a year later and all I have to ask is....... WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!!?
So last time I joined this site everything was fine, dl speeds were excellent, site speed was great, everything was fantastic but here I am a year later and it's a total fucking disaster, I mean jesus christ monkeyballs.
So first and most importantly lets talk about the download speeds, I mean what the hell? The maximum of my dl speeds is 154kb, WHAT?! WHAT!!?
.......... WHAT?!
I mean I pay $50.00 or so a month for Road Runner cable and my speed is pretty good, I mean I get up to 1MB download speeds in some places, at Video Box I would get up to 860KB, so it's alright on my end, but WTF is going on on their end? Did they switch to 56K?
As you can tell, I am pissed off a bit, I mean it's not the money I am pissed about, no, it's the fucking potential of the website, I mean this place is a fucking porno palace and it's been burned to the fucking ground because the download speeds are terrible.
I am so fucking disappointed in this site, there was so much porn I wanted from this place and I have not gotten a goddamn thing, not 1 file has been completed from this site since I joined last month, why you ask? Because I cannot sit there and wait 26 minutes to download a goddamn 174MB file, I just can't.
Also, the updates, well they have always been stupid at updating shit, I mean to update a movie, scene by scene is just mind blowing, I mean if I was a cartoon surfing Porn.com my head would not only explode, it would blow up the house I was in, very comical shit, my head would blow and seconds later the PC then the house.
This site has really gone to hell and there is no way in hell that I will ever try this place again and I would STRONGLY recommend that you stay as far away as possible, if you're reading this review with any interest in disobeying this warning I will kill you............ ok, I won't kill you ............ those download speeds will do that.
If I could score this lower than 50 I wouldn't, it's a pretty girl who wants to fuck you but she has no orifices, not even a mouth, she just keeps stroking your cock with your foot and occasionally takes her heel and crushes the fuck outta your cock, it's just terrible.

There are words but they are all swear words.

| Pros: |
- About as much content as you will find on one site
- $9.95 TBP price!
- WMV files are a decent 480 on high end, with Divx files coming in a little higher at 540, WMV have 1000 bitrate, Divx have 2000.
- Many old stars that you can't find anywhere else, over a dozen b/g clips of Adrianne Sage as example
- Has nearly 900 clips that are exclusive to their network, plus over 2,000 non-exclusive DVDs
- Has screenshots for all videos and also has a picture section that has more well known models who do not do videos |
| Cons: |
- First, this is the same site I received months ago when I signed up for CFNM Exposed, believe it was under the name Ultimate Sex Pass. There are problems here.
- No zips for the pictures and you can't even use a download manager to get the pictures.
- Good luck on the exclusive videos. For example, CFNM Exposed has 33 clips, well, 17 you can download, the other 16 you can only stream, when you try to download it says, "Unable to load file"
- Those damn updates where they give you one clip from a DVD one day, then you get the next a month later.
- Login screen is a hassle, half the time the security code doesn't even show up clear enough to type in. |
| Bottom Line: |
Talk about a site that doesn't know what it wants to be. This is a site that I had known as Ultimate Sex Pass. With some added features, they have the Cumisha Jones collection here now, and they have the Stracy Stone collection here as well, and those two alone were worth the 10 bucks for me.
After that, bring some Tylenol, you are going to need it. First, every clip you click on to download, it starts loading it to stream. You have to click pause, then go down to the download link. Then about 1/5th of all clips I tried to download said, "Unable to load" and let me download an invalid .html file.
Things can get better or worse depending on your patience. There is A LOT here to like. I love the "older" stars of the late 90s that they have here. They also have some stars that you rarely see on the well known DVD sites like Adrianne Sage. The navigation isn't bad. They have a "view all pornstars" link that takes you to a model index that works just as expected. They have their exclusive sites at the bottom of the main page, you just click and go, and some of these are really good, like the "At Work" series.
Then there is the bad, some of those really great looking models on those exclusive sites, their movies give you the, "Unable to load" message.
With a little time and work this site could challenge the big boys! As it is now, it is worth a month, you are sure to find some model you forgot about. I recommend for one month, and only hope they work out the kinks! |

| Pros: |
Lots of content
Video and DVD downloads without DRM
Pictures and Videos
Quality is excellent with pictures
Search function works well
Nice Catagories
Ability to add favorites for stars, pics, or vids
The Price is Right |
| Cons: |
Seems to need a little more content for well known models.
No Jenna Jameson????
I certainly do not like having to supply the email address and security code along with username and password everytime I logon to the site.
No real bonus sites |
| Bottom Line: |
A good site for the price. I have seen worse for more money.
Many pics and vids but somehow I felt many models should of had more of them.
This is not a bad site for a month or 2. But I am done with it after 1 month. Probably just my taste.
I would say this site is definitely worth it for a month or two. |
