Unique exclusive content updated almost daily
Friendly Nav layout

One of the things I hate about the are the aggressive ads. They should take it alway or stick it in a page dedicated it. |

| Pros: |
+ Tons of babes and content
+ 3 photo set and 2 vid updates daily
+ Pic sizes up to 3000 pixels
+ Vids from 2009 onward go up to 1280x720
+ High quality search and model directory
+ No download limits or DRM
+ Good 2 day full access trial for $2.44 through the bonus sites
+ 6 other sites offered of which only 3 have original content
+ Professional, high quality content
+ One of the better forums I've seen for members
+ Smallish or nonexistent watermarks
+ Good customer service |
| Cons: |
- Download speeds were a bit slow for me but it may just be a prolem on my end.
- Vids before 2009 mostly max out at 480x360
- Most of the pic sets clock in at 1020 x 720 or smaller
- Some advertising on the site but not terrible
- The 3k pixel photos only available in zip format
- A lot of nonexclusive content |
| Bottom Line: |
I was last here in '08 when I dished out an 81. Glad to see things have improved although, as we know, there's always room for improvement.
Pictures: About 9500 solo sets, 1350 HC sets and 880 lez sets. As noted, in '09 Twisty's started putting out 3000 pixel pictures but only in the zip sets. Why Shap? Especially since other sites go this big as an option and sometimes we just want to pluck the good stuff as opposed to downloading an 80mb file only to toss most of it later. Most sets have about 100 pics. Pics are professional and generally very good in terms of quality and lighting with some airbrushing, mostly on the solo sets. All sets have a zip function. Watermark is small, posting dates are included, and slideshow option is available (all definitely welcomed). About the only real negative is that most of the pics are 1020 or smaller but this is somewhat expected given the extensive history of content available.
Videos: About 1900 solo scenes, 950 HC scenes and 250 lez scenes available. As noted, the new stuff clocks in at 1280 sized and is very impressive in terms of quality. However, most of the stuff is 480x360. Once you go back more than about 18 months, you don't even get vid caps to see what the scenes contain (pain in the but). The oldest vids only come in clips, not full length scene. DL's available in WMV, MOV or pointless "phone" sized.
The model directory is excellent although, like most sites, sometimes models mysteriously pick up new names. The search has numerous variations available to sift through the content. Mostly, the tags seem pretty thorough but they are a bit weak on the oldest content in my opinion.
While they do have some exclusive content, most of the stuff is nonexclusive and can be found at other megasite / pornstar sites. Not necessarily bad, especially considering the trial price, but quality is sometimes downgraded in my comparisons to other sites when it comes to pic size, pic count per set, and video DL options.
The forum seems to be inhabited by people who are usually successful in getting their point across and they have lots of useful topics there. One of the better forums I've seen in pornland (excluding PU naturally).
I'm giving my score of 85 based solely on the Twistys content. Bump it up to about an 87 or 88 when you factor in the other sites (Annette Dawn, Bluefantasies and Naughtystaff are the only ones worth visiting).
Basically, you're not getting the cream of the crop of here in terms of quality or exclusivity. However, you are getting a ton of pretty good to very good content that keeps updating regularly and can keep you occupied for a while. This site should be rocking in a few more years when they get a lot more HD vids and if they bump the pic sizes to 3000 pixels outside of the zip only function. |

| Pros: |
+ Vast amout of different models
+ Both european and US-models included
+ Good updates - every day!!!
+ Priority of solo/softcore material video/photosets
+ Some very fine hc - b/g and g/g material - but not every day
+ Fine/ok price - go through TBP
+ Maybe the best around in respons from webmaster/Co.
+ SOME exclusive - but still: some not
+ Still better quality for videos/photosets
+ Navigation has always been ok, but is getting slower with new larger thumbnails
+ Ok bonus-sites, but just ok - some seems to have the same material
Download Manager ok for both video, photo and photo/zip |
| Cons: |
I have a problem with: Exclusive here - most or maybe just a lot are NOT.
Too many models have no videos
The site is getting slower to browse - and I just got a new PC with the damn fastest download, so...
Video-files in HD are too large - others can do the same quality in smaller files. Here we have way over 1,0 Gb for some videos - way too large.
Too much OLD stuff here for some major models |
| Bottom Line: |
When I joined again this time - the 6th og 7th or more, I felt like 'comming home'.
I go for the search for videos as the first thing - and, yes, this site has IT!
Both softcore solo and some damn fine hc b/g-material which for many seems exclusive.
And some not.
And that's the main point here:
Twistys are a mix - and a sometimes confusing mix of non-exclusive and exclusive. Lately it seems like the exclusive solo-videos are getting the upper hand - and thanks for that.
Generally those videos are getting better and better - the exclusive and solo - it's like twistys are taking a pride - more than ever before - and that's what keeps this site on the track for porn-browsers.
BUT: I like solo videos with full body shots - TOO - close-ups are ok/fine - but Twistys used to have better full body shots in their videos.
Lately those videos have part-thumbnails and part-downlods - of course with full downlod, too.
Files are in .movs, .wmv and iphone - AND in three different qualities - not bad.
BUT still - in HD-quality those files are way too large - get them down, please.
Photo-sets are still a major thing and in fine navigation/download - with zip.
No need here for detailed tech-stuff, I think - well, the newer material has it all - the older has again still a lot to ask for - mostly not so fine/some JUST ok.
AND htey still got Annete Dawn for bonus-site - it's NOT bad for those who still like this great model, though her videos seems to get a little of the same along the way.
But Bottom line:
Twistys is still a favorite of mine - I'm NOT going to stay put - but will come back -now and then.
And that's what I think Twistys is about: Visit and join - now and then, grab what you like and maybe come back later.... |

| Pros: |
+ Huge amount of content
+ Gorgeous girls (on the whole)
+ Nice simple site navigation
+ Super quick downloads
+ All photosets zipped
+ Vid content available as whole or part files in multiple formats
+ Nice model of the month feature |
| Cons: |
- form based login with OCR causes havoc with scheduled download managers
- Implants everywhere (not really the site's fault but...)
- Some content can be a little too "soft" (but the hard stuff makes up for it. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a great site one of THE great porn sites of the last ten years. Updates are consistant and many - usually 3 photosets and 2 at least 2 videos a day.
The models are usually American, often European, and (even better IMHO) occassionally British.
The photo quality is good if not perfect (the hi res sets are not in the league of MetArt but are excellent none the less). Video quality is as you would expect these days - archive stuff is low res and the recent updates are amazing - true HD 720p and available in multiple formats.
The site is quick and really easy to navigate with voting, comments, model directory, recent updates, archive....etc, etc, etc.
One reallynice feature is a monthly "treat". This girl is featured for a month with additional sets, interviews, extra bio info. Currently it's Sasha Grey (who appears to be startlingly intelligent!!!) but we've even had Peach (my absolute favorite) and somenewer girls like Alexis Texas (her arse being worth a months subscription fee alone!).
So - it's a classic site. Everyone should have been a member at some point if onlyto get all the archived material of your favorite girls. That said - theday I cancel will be a verydark one indeed! |

| Pros: |
Gorgeous models!
Good selection of content
Updates every day |
| Cons: |
The content is not consistent across models
Never know what you will get |
| Bottom Line: |
It is a quality site with a lot of incredible content. I am happy to have joined, but it was not a site that I need for a long-term commitment. |

| Pros: |
- Exclusive and non-exclusive models from all over the world (primarily USA and Europe) doing a variety of content including solo masterbation and hardcore sex.
- No DRM Protection.
- No Download Limit.
- New exclusive videos starting in 2009 are quite good in WMV format at 1024 X 576, ~4000 to ~6000 kbps. There is quicktime format available for most and the newer ones have iphone format as well. The older exclusive and non-exclusive videos from early 2009 and down range from anywhere from 720 X 480, 640 X 480, and lower with varying birates.
- Photos sets range in resolution but most of the newer sets are 1600 X 1067. I did not find the watermarks to be intrusive for most, some are bigger than others though. Zip format.
- Updates daily with 3 new photo sets and 2 videos.
- Massive model index with over 2,000 models and growing.
- Featured models every month with lots of quality exclusive updates.
- Active forum.
- 3 extra exclusive sites, 4 sites with same content as Twistys. |
| Cons: |
- Nicole Graves is an included site but is not linked on site but is worth mentioning here that you get this site.
- While the other sites included in the package have the same material as Twistys main page, some may see this as misleading but I found it good (more in bottom line).
- Lots of ads for other sites and products on the page. It's not a total burden but worth mentioning. |
| Bottom Line: |
Honestly, when attempting to post cons I had a hard time coming up with any. Twistys boasts an extremely large amount of content for your money and I don't see much wrong with the site. The large index can be browsed using seperation of models through their ratings through member voting which is quite active, alphabetically, or they have an extremely great search feature for content. The content can also be viewed as seperate sites which are the extra sites included but think of them as more of categories than extra sites and it will be better off. With this thought process, you will not be totally disapointed because they are the same content. However, there are 3 other sites which have exclusive content not on Twistys featuring glamour (Blue Fantasies) and 2 solo model sites (Nicole Graves and Anette Dawn).
The videos feature mostly masterbation with either fingers or toys. However, there is quite a bit of hardcore material as well. There is a good mix between the two. While the content is a mix of exclusive and non-exclusive material, the older material in 2006 and under are pretty bad in terms of quality and clarity. While I cannot take points away for this because that's just how the content was then, it is still worth mentioning. The newer exclusive videos are pretty good in terms of clarity and quality of camera work. While I found some camera men to be better than others, the overall professionalism of the shoots cannot go unnoticed. However, there are quite a few music scenes which may stray people away, don't worry because this usually cuts off once the model starts masterbating. I cannot complain too much about the videos in general except for the fact that I would try to stick with the exclusive material because you know you are getting good stuff.
The photography sets goes back for years and are exclusive and non-exclusive. There is an extremely large amount of these and they are overall well done, in terms of the exclusive stuff. While the non-exclusive stuff may feature professional photographers, some may not. However, the extent of the quantity is breathtaking. So, getting a few bad sets will come but there are plenty of extremely quality photo sets.
The model base is just extravagant. With over 2,000 models in about 7-8 years of building up, it's something to boast about. This site will bring back memories of models you have not seen plus bring fresh new ones to the fore front. Truly, browsing this index is like browsing one of the largest candy stores in the world as a child.
Twistys is an extremely great site in terms of doing more things right than wrong. An active community and good exclusive updates combined with the non-exclusive ones makes for an overall quality site. The site features good navigation, plenty of extras, and a great cost (even better with TBP discount). Long term members get great daily updates and good mixes of solo or hardcore content. I recommend this site for any of the terms provided. |

| Pros: |
Attractive women
Huge collection
Zips for all photo sets
Good connection and site organization
Price is reasonable given the size of the site |
| Cons: |
Some of the content was not exclusive, you probably have several sets in other places
Most models have several photo sets, but fewer to no videos
Very little of the original content is hardcore. They added a twistys hard section but it doesn't appear to be updated very frequently.
The two bonus sites I looked at had the exact same material as the Twistys main site
Photo quality mediocre |
| Bottom Line: |
Honestly I'm not sure why people rate this site so highly. I usually agree with exotics4me's reviews but in this case I must disagree. The models are mostly of the large breasted varietty, which isn't really my cup of tea. I also did not like the style of a lot of the photography (makup, lighting, focus, etc.)
Worth joining if you like softcore pictures of porn stars in soft lighting, otherwise I would look elsewhere. They are good at what they do, I'm just not into a lot of it. |

| Pros: |
Extremely gorgeous women. A lot of drm free content. Frequent updates. |
| Cons: |
not enough twisty exclusive hardcore videos. Yes, they do have a lot of hardcore stuff but you can get a majority of it off of other sites. Most of the twistys exclusive stuff is just solo scenes. |
| Bottom Line: |
a decent site with a lot of beautiful women. It could be a great site if they would get the women to do hardcore stuff exclusively for their site. |

| Updated: |
02-15-09 05:58pm (Update History)
Reason: Lowered score 4 points to reflect a new standard for top site in my reviews
|
| Pros: |
- Re-review from my highest rated site, still up there though, the best multi-model site on the internet
- Twisty's Treats, the all-exclusive monthly series that focuses on one model, up to 36 different treats as I review this. Usually includes a minimum of 4 picture sets and 4 video sets, some of the best models in the world are in this series.
- Probably the most basic and easy to use download system going. The picture sets have a little zip icon that you click and that is it. The movies are just as easy to download as well.
- If shes a model, she most likely has content on Twistys from old favorites like Aria Giovanni to new models. You're covered!
- Pictures are 1280 high end, most videos are 640 high end
- Daily updates that includes 4 picture sets and 1 video daily
- Bonus exclusive sites only sweetens the deal, Anette Dawn and the newly add Nicole Graves are sites I have joined before they were part of the Twistys network and Blue Fantasies as well, will explain in BL |
| Cons: |
- Some of the older sets are not as good of quality, probably about 1% of the content falls in this low quality group, and most of those are from the early 2000s.
- There is some airbrushing, but it is a glamour site, and most glam sites do airbrush, just mentioned it if that bothers you |
| Bottom Line: |
You know things are good when I ran out of characters in the pros section! I didn't get to mention the price of $19.95. How many sites update 4 photo sets and 1 video set daily but only charge $19.95? Those bonus sites are more than just throw ins. Now that the Nicole Graves site has been added, there are 3 bonus free sites with your membership that I have paid to join just those sites in the past.
The score may seem high, but I rated Twistys a 93 by itself before the bonus sites were added, I rated Anette Dawn's site an 84, I think and Blue Fantasies a 90, Nicole's site would be a 90 as a solo site. That's $100 worth of sites that average a 90 for $20. I may not be complimentary enough with my score of a 98.
I do want to say that I know that glam isn't everyone's cup of tea or whiskey, but for the type of site they advertise themselves as, they do it better than anyone, quality, quantity, ease of downloading, speed of downloads, price, tons of updates. This is to me, the standard for sites to be judged by.
Throw in that there is a forum where Shap (webmaster) regularly visits and posts, contests, Shap listens and is constantly adding to the site's appeal. There also is a DVD section if you like hardcore that has over 100 full length DVDs in it. Nicole's site has some hardcore as well.
I think if Twistys has one fault, it isn't theirs. It is that they are the standard bearer and sorry to say it, but people these days want to rip the top dog. Also known as "hating on" in the kids slang these days.
The Treat of the Month is my favorite part. With 36 models just in that section alone, all-exclusive by the way, you can get a month's worth of content just from that section! Out of the 36 treats, I have every picture set and video set saved on my HD, even the interview clip from each model.
I also have all of the Anette Dawn content as well.
Videos are 640 in most cases, there are a few, including the Aria Giovanni ones that are lower quality, but there is a chance you won't even run into the lower quality ones from 5 years ago. I've always talked about how well I like the zip system they use, I like click, download.
Blue Fantasies is a nice very glam bonus site that several of us PU had joined on its own.
Those daily updates are also some of the best in the industry. So, lets do a checklist here. Multiple daily updates - check, huge archive - check, easy to use - check, some exclusive content - check, above average quality - check, models from all around the world - check, customer support is fast and helpful - check, webmaster listens and constantly improves site - check.
Hopefully that does explain the high score. Everything we complain about with other sites, are non-issues here and again, the price is only $20. I join using the multi-month option that drops the price to $10 a month. I've been a member for a total of 27 months over the last 3 years, and a member for the last 18 months straight. Easily recommended! |

| Pros: |
+TONS of content
+Good mixture of solo, girl/girl & boy/girl.
+Updated daily with 2-3 sets.
+You get access to a few other sites as well. Main one for me is NicoleGraves.com. |
| Cons: |
-No HD videos. However the November treat is in atleast widescreen but quality still isn't in HD.
-Only allows you to download 1 video at a time using a download manager. If your doing something while downloading, I've had it timeout on me and restart the download.
-Can not resume downloads using Firefox DownThemAll.
-Photos are decent quality but not as high resolution as some other sites (Femjoy, Penthouse)
-Too often they will go straight from taking off their panties to using a dildo. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've only been a member fo Twistys for about a month now. It'll take me forever to look at or download all the content available.Twistys has a great mixture of solo, girl/girl & boy/girl sets. As of now Twistys has no true HD videos. The November Twistys Treat is in widescreen and much better quality then their normal 640x480 videos but still not as good as other true HD videos I've seen. Most of the videos found on Twistys are 640x480, while there are a few that are 720xXXX.
The photos found on Twistys are of good quality and a decent resolution. However they still aren't as big as photos found on some sites like Femjoy or Penthouse. Twistys is updated with 2-3 sets per day. It also has a nice catalog system you can use to search for models. By name, or by breast size, clothing, girl/girl or boy/girl and many more.
If you are one who likes to setup a que to download 3,4,5 videos on a manager at night or during the day, then you will be disappointed. Using DownThemAll with Firefox, I can only download one video at a time. And it has to be using all of my connection, otherwise the connection will timeout and it'll restart downloading from 0. You can not pause your downloads.You also can not set a que and then come back a couple hours later and download them. As appears the adress changes, as it gives me a error and wont' download.
Twistys also uses the stupid squiggly word, which you'll have to fill in each time you log into the site. It's currently not working correctly, so they have disabled it. But I'm guessing they will get it working again shortly.
Overall, I'd highly recommend checking out Twistys if your a photo fan. If your mainly a video fan, then as of right now I think your be disappointed.
UPDATE:I've decided to cancel after this month. I think the biggest disappointment about Twistys is the photo and video quality. No HD video and no pics larger then 1500-2000px, where as some sites are up to 3000-4000px.
Overall I feel Twistys moto is quantity over quality and couldn't really see it for the $24.95 price point. |

*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.
