If you like WBA, you should also check out The Life Erotic - it's his work too, but I think featuring racier midcore material. I guess you might see some of the same models on there?

Interestingly, it also seems to be part of Met Art; it would seem that the more straightfoward nude material at WBA would fit better?

To standard (5):

An update:

I've figured out what looks to be a workaround for a download manager, but I won't post any hints until after my month has run out. Sorry if that seems jerkish, but I don't want them "fixing" it until my time is up.

So, technically, "download managers: yes, should work" is accurate. Using them isn't simple or intuitive, which ultimately means they are discouraged.

Comically, even at the blazing 150KB/s speeds they provide, it's probably possible to download all ~350 videos in their "high WMV" format in a month. Let that give you some idea of the size and quality of the clips. One can assume Private has access to their own original DVDs, so it makes no sense why most of the clips should be so small and of such poor quality.

I was initially impressed with the compact size of their 1080p encodings until I reached a fast-motion and/or high-contrast section. Size-wise they did a good job, but the quality suffered greatly (single pass?) and I decided I'd rather download non-HD without their artifacts and blockiness rather than waste time on their subpar HD material.

There are ads for other sites (Reality Kings was one IIRC) inside the members area. I'd mark 20 more points off their score for this if I were allowed to. Paying members shouldn't have to look at non-related site ads. If you want to double-dip with advertisements then you should reduce the price. Ad-free price and ad-supported price, perhaps?

Their search/actress links are next to useless. It's almost like they don't know who is in their scenes and instead used broad catch-alls to connect names to scenes. "That lady is blonde and it looks like she's got a tattoo on her ankle," someone at Private.com must've said, "and Kathia Nobili is blonde and she has a tattoo on her stomach, so let's put them both under the Nobili link." Horrible.

And more points off for way too heavy a focus on their not-really-that-erotic snow/beach niche scenes. I bet they are ~15% of all the clips on the site.

(Frankly, I suspect no real time was put into this site and they just ripped whatever movies they had left in a cardboard box after breaking down their 2007 AVN awards promo booth. The website probably started with the moving of some folding chairs and a crumpled up vinyl banner.)

Hey, look at them having sex in the snow! Hey, more snow! Oh good, a snowmobile for them to have sex on. Look, a beach! More beaches! Wow, even more beaches! Hey, a boat! Another boat! Awesome! Oh good, snow again. Holy crap, that guy is wearing a bigfoot costume with the crotch cut out (yep, seriously). C'mon, Private. You were classy. You were the best. Act like it.

I can't say it enough- Don't join. Not even for a month. You'll be disappointed.

When the Swede, Berth Milton started the Private corporation back many years ago when porn was YOUNG - he did the best in his field: Gorgeous models doing solo, lez and hc/bg (among others) - mostly - or rather only photosets in the beginning.

So it's kind of strange that Private on the internet front is what it is today....Lousy - with low resolution vids, bad buildup and support of a paysite that COULD have been a SERIOUS alternative to sites like 21Sextury and the (former) DDF....and quite a few others since then.

Some things went terrible wrong, ALAS!!!

Plus when I was a member they had drm too, although I think they have abandoned that now. So not only did you get low res material they ran out at the end of the month. I ended up picking up almost all of it later on at VideoBox just like standard says.

Even the magazine section was average with only the recent years in good quality. All the older stuff looked like screen scans so they couldn't even get that right.

Good review IMO and it matches my experience.

What's more interesting though is that I've joined all but one of the sites mentioned in past years(Private, Penthouse, Hustler and Playboy, but not Wicked).

All were total wastes of money IMO and lost me after a few days with the content, crappy downloads - or streaming only (Hustler).

I was not aware that Playboy and Penthouse have upgraded their stuff so I may have to check those sites out.

Thanks for the review. i found it interesting and informative. I'm a big fan of Private stuff and often wondered about joining. But based on your experience I won't bother.

Two comments:

1) Private seems to have at least two levels of material. Let's say A list and B list. I find that almost none of the A list stuff makes it to Videobox, though some of it does.

2) This seems to be another example of a studio site that begrudginly puts material on the internet. I really don't understand this. The internet isn't the future anymore, it's the present. People want material on the internet now. Having crappy websites with slow downloads won't help any company.

Getting any better?

It's been over half a year since I got some very negative comments about this site. IT appears that TPB has given it a favorable review lately so I was wondering if the issues of past are gone?

They at least promise a good deal of HD videos on the previews page but I understood from some comments that Private is not producing much new material these days and the old ones obviously cannot ever be released as HD. It also appears that the old magazines are on another site these days. I guess there's no network membership to all Private offerings?

Thanks for the insight pj675mk

I've wondered about this site but chose to stay with videosz.com who have the series (but not all titles)...

It would be useful for TBP to offer an opinion on this site as they state they haven't reviewed it yet themselves and have no plans to...

Any longstanding members had any experience of the site as opposed to the series which is as stated, available elsewhere...

Notes of interest: their 2257 states the holding company to be Coldfair Holdings Ltd, support is via harmonyvision.com and TBP lisst them as part of the Private Media Group and seem to distribute out of Milcap Media Group in Spain, and appear to NATS to private_thebestpartner_com?

So to sum up everything looks like it should be okay. I assume you tried their support at support@harmonyvision.com if this is different to the site. The email address above is listed on their 2257 so should respond (we hope).

Hope that helps

Can you believe this clown? "if we have photos available from that scene then they are available" So in other words if they are available they are available. Try this: if your site sucks then it sucks. They ruined it: most of the photos are gone and only if you are unemployed will you have enough time to dig through this poorly designed site long enough to find anything worth looking at. Take a look at his later comments where he talks about people joining in record numbers. Joining doesn't mean being satisfied, and reviewing the comments from the last few months, this site has a lot of formerly long-time customers that are completely dissatisfied. You can now get more and better Private photo from the blogs for free than you can get from paying this master of double talk $30 a month.

Thanks for replies and opinions. I guess HD content would be great addition since everything has probably been filmed in HD for a long time now.

The resolution of videos is often what seems to be putting network clips ahead of full length "feature" films these days. I guess the films are still mainly done for DVD release with BluRay slowly gaining speed but with ridiculous price tags on BR discs the network sites are the way to go.

Let me illustrate with some comments by members on there own private forum:

-
i want the old site back!!!!
i'm sorry i have been a private member and fan for years but the member site "improvements" are a con.. first last week we had 20+ years of magazines now we have a couple of years and you can't even view a full page..plus the set up is awful.. the movies are all over the place and less than we had last week..there is no sextras section which many people enjoyed especially the backstage shoots ..now all gone..and the stars section is a joke..last week if i wanted a picture set of a particular girl there was probably 2 or 3 photosets.. now all we get is a series of movie stills.. its very easy to say updating 3 times a day when all you are updating is old content that we had last week ..
so let me get this straight.. my membership now buys me less content, presented poorly than it did last week and it will take another year to get the old content back... i want my old site back or my money back!!!

-

I've just joined and I'm sorry to say I'm disappointed. I expected large, quality pictures and there doesn't seem to be any. I expected access to magazine pictures going back to 1965 but instead find out (after I'd joined) that the magazine 'archive' only goes back seven years and that these pics are quite small compared to my PC screen. They don't even appear to be the full picture either but are cropped.
I did join Private's website a few years back and it was far far better. What has happened???
I expected much better from the world's number one porn company.

-

And i could go on.

But maybe they will improve the site, although i wouldn't hold my breath

Hey RustyJ,

PeterV is a bit bitter because when we changed the site about 2 months ago we didn't include all the original content that was on the old site (we removed a bunch of dvds).

I of course can understand that old members are upset about that and that they want them. However we gave them a few months notice to download the ones they like to keep to prevent "gaps".

When we changed we simply decided not to add everything because of the tremendous amount of work that comes with that. The old dvds will be added over time so there's actually nothing to worry about it.

For a new users this site is extremely good, over 1500 scenes including all pictures (that was not on the old site).

We're currently also working on including HD in your membership but of course because of the big amount of content it's a lot of work.

Oh and btw, there are absoultely no hidden charges, everything is included in a membership (also NO DRM).

You get a confirmation on the site that your subscription has been cancelled with no e-mail confirmation - so you assume that your subscription has been cancelled and stop using the site at the end of the subscription.

Hey,

the site is still slow because of some technical issues. ALL of those will be resolved tomorrow.

Also there are actually more picture sets available than before, in higher quality and with the full sets. You just have to go to each scene individually and click on the "pictures tab".

The site is also fully compatible with mozilla and pictures can be downloaded individually by clicking on the thumbnails.

How to make one of the best sites one of the worst

Private has managed to turn one of the best sites into one of the worst. How? Easy make navigation inscrutable, remove all the pictures that were some of the best on the internet and oh did I forget, slow the site down so that you can have a cup of coffee while simply moving from one page to the next. Yes, they really ruined this site. The removal of the incredible picture section is unbelievable. And I forget to mention the limited pictures they do still have cannot be individually downloaded with Mozilla, you have to download the anemic set as a zip file just to get the few pictures that are worth seeing. It looks like they are using the site to sell videos and have lost sight of their users. Not worth even a one month subscription.

I actually didn't mind Hustler's new setup without DRM that much. I think they do fill a niche (porn with stories, however half-assed) that sites like Videobox and AmericanVice don't seem to focus on. Although Hustler certainly needs to improve video quality.

If you didn't like Hustler's setup, you'll hate Private. It has significantly worse navigation than Hustler does, and the video quality is equal or perhaps slightly better than what Hustler offers.

Interesting review - thanks for doing it. I've been thinking about trying a membership at Private but I think I'll wait based on your review. Your complaints about Private seem similar to my complaints about Hustler. Private and Hustler are two of the biggest names in the adult business and you'd think that they'd put the resources into getting it right. But both don't seem to have bothered. I wonder if it isn't partly a mentality that they're too big and too important to fail. Tell that to some car manufacturers and banks. Part of the sad reality though is that this industry isn't known for its customer service model. I suspect that both Private and Hustler figure that they could invest in making a great site that brings in a lot of revenue or they could make a crappy site that still brings in a lot of revenue. One of the reasons that I really like Kink and American Vice is that they leave a member with a sense that they actually care what the customer wants.

OK, then the site itself is misleading, because the preview shows all the covers of the various magazine lines from the first issue. Also Duke's review at TheBestPorn.com implies that all the magazines would be available: "The Private mag is the best section with things categorized by decade going back to the first issue in 1965. All of the site's issues can be viewed online or downloaded in full as in JPEG zip files and newer ones have PDF and JPEG options."

I just thought it would be fun to see how styles have changed over the decades. I have a few old copies of Private magazines myself, none of them older than 1980's, though.

Anyway I'll keep an eye out on the site and how it improves.

moonbyrd,

the quality of the PDFs is excellent, you can zoom in - read the writing easily, very crisp. Definitely not scans. I'd say about 80% or so of the downloadable magazines are available in PDF, however they only have 40-60 or so of each magazine series (Private, Pirate, Triple X, Sex) and they have a few special editions. This is not their older material, the oldest magazine in each series was:
Sex 36
Triple X 45
Pirate 71
Private 180

Hope that helps, I'd wait to join until they make the improvements the Private Webmaster spoke of in his comment, it could get much better with just some navigation tweeks.

What kind of resolution is the magazine archive? Comparable to print versions? From the TBP review I got the impression that the older magazines are not in PDF format, which is understandable given that they go back to 1965, but if they are scanned JPEG's, what kind of quality? Can you read the print etc.

Probably not interested enough to join anyway but curious.

Pat, I'll try to write a more thorough review later in the week if I have time. The catalog of downloadable dvds is about 470 titles, so the size of the site is pretty decent. The "High" movies are 640x480 1500 kbps typcially, wmv only.

Like I said, my main problem is navagation and inability to use download managers, I'm sure they have some great scenes - but they are pretty much impossible to find unless you know the name of the dvd you are looking for (can't search by star of films)

In response to Rome, the download speeds were excellent whenever I logged in (1.4 MB/sec), however I was unable to get any download managers to work.
