Pros:
+ Newer vids are near-HD quality.
+ Most models range from cute to gorgeous. A few straggler don't make the cut.
+ Good direction of models in scenes. (Granted, a subjective opinion)
+ In many of the vids the woman is also given oral.
+ Minimal dirty-talk from women giving handjob like on some similar sites. (Again, depends on individual taste)
+ "warm up" interviews.
+ Frequent use of baby oil. Both for handjob and to oil up the woman beforehand.
Cons:
- Basic, no-frills site navigation.
- With older content there is a lot of inconstancy. Sometimes the full movie is not offered or one of the formats is not offered.
- I would like to see the jump to full HD.
- Infrequent updates to network sites. As far as I could tell Her Sweet Hand, Sybian World and maybe Perfect D are still updating. HSH has the most frequent updates.
Bottom Line:
I almost don't want to like Her Sweet Hand because of it's shabby appearance and inconsistencies but I have to admit G. Picasso turns out some good content. That's what really matters, right?
Some of the models on this site are stunning. G Picasso takes full advantage of the fact and starts off each movie with a short interview, the model undressing (though they usually start off mostly unclothed) and having her rub oil all over herself.
The site is mostly handjobs but blowjobs and full hardcore sex is frequently worked into the scenes.
Overall it's a great site if you are a fan of the niche.

Pros:
+ New rates - $24.80/month recurring, $59.52/90 days recurring, $89.28/6 months no rebill, $101.21/360 day no rebill
+ Amateurs! Very little silicone and few mural sized tattoos here
+ Still in mov clips AND full length wmv
+ newer wmv files run fom 1200 to 2800 bitrate
+ H.264/MPEG-4 has been added - can't seem to read bitrate but it's crystal clear
+ Access to Her Sweet hand, Butt Lounge, Just a Blow Job, Not My Face (Close ups), Perfect D (Big tits), Sybian Lounge and Sybian World
+ Pictures (if available) in zip files - newer pix average 1100 pixels on the short side
+ File names include model name
+ A blog (of sorts) where G Picasso talks about what's been going on with the site
+ No apparent bandwidth cap
+ With download manager, I got rates of 1400k/s download speed
+ Most of the girls finish the job themselves
Cons:
- Navigation is rough - no links to go from one site to another except on home page
- Have to login to each site separately - sometimes twice
- Still haven't gotten away from random bitrates
- Same template for each model - Surprise! No pictures for this one
- Picture sets are small - from 30? to 60?
- Pictures mostly available on older sets - newer pix only in some sites on the network
- Found several links that I had to click several times to connect - some broken altogether
- Watermarks on video are random - from small(ish) to insanely large
- Nothing dated on most sites
- Bandwidth capped people warning: File sizes not apparent until already downloading
- No search function
Bottom Line:
The review goes here, for Her Sweet Hand, but this is really a review for a somewhat confusing little network. Each site has it peculiarities and I'd have to write a small almanac to wrap it all up, so I'll just leave it at what follows.
It's a network of similar sites, so similar that there's some mix of files with a watermark from another site that's either mislabeled or misplaced. The navigation isn't really *bad*, but it could be a lot smoother and user-friendly. On some sites, you have to back your browser out of the members area to get to the links to go to the other sites. Each site uses the same basic template, but some sites have dates, some don't. Some sites have pictures, some don't. Some shoots have the option of mp4 or wmv, some don't. The inconsistencies are a serious curiosity.
Getting into 2007, the files are hit or miss for full-length files. It's still hit or miss whether or not there's an mp4 for a certain episode.
It almost seems like Her Sweet Hand is the star and the rest are secondary. It seems to get a new girl a wekk, while some of the sites have had minimal updates since the last time I was a member here, almost 2 years ago. This is my third signup here and I still wonder why the bitrates are so random. And now there's the issue of the different size watermarks. And the largest watermark on Her Sweet hand is now bigger than the one on PerfectD, which has always been obtrusively large. That needs to go away! See it here http://tinyurl.com/yjsn6rq
File sizes on some of the newer files are outrageous - like 1.6 gig? There's no reason for that.
There are things I didn't list as a pro or a con because they're too subjective. The photography (video and stills) is pretty basic here. It's like 98% one tripod or one hand held camera, so there are no crazy angles here. It's mostly a one frame shoot or POV. I like it because the camera rarely moves away from the action. It's also 99% one guy, but you rarely see his face.
I don't see any sign of a bandwidth cap here, but my ISP has one, so I limit myself to 10 gigs a day and haven't had any problem.
Despite what all I think is wrong with these sites, and the score I give it all, I like this site/network. The price is finally right, coming down from $31.80 a month. The video clarity has come a looong way since their 320 x 240 days and it's one of the few sites that's had a steady flow of (mostly) attractive, amateur models, mostly in the 18 to late-20's age range. I just think they'd do well to make things more uniform from site to site and in the video quality. And, please, kill that billboard sized watermark!

Pros:
+ Some beauties on this site. Most are youthful with tight bods.
+ 7 bonus sites with no duplicated content (That I've seen)
+ Plenty of content in the almost-hardcore genre -- handjobs, blowjobs and masturbation scenes.
+ Some newer content is near-HD quality
Cons:
- Video content quality is highly variable. There is wide screen and full screen, crisp and blurry, high and low res, some videos look narrow like the picture is compressed.
- Video format is also highly variable. The movies are sometimes available in Quicktime, sometimes in wmv and sometimes in both. All the movies are broken into sections. The full file is sometimes available in one or both formats.
- Receive random server errors
- Slow download speeds and there are download limits
Bottom Line:
I'm a big fan of the handjob. There are not many quality sites in this niche so I was excited to join this site to see what they had to offer.
I did find some really great movies to add to my collection. The girls are beautiful and the sex is natural and arousing.
That said the cameraman/male participant could be a buzz kill at times. The real limp-dick moments were when he asked the girls, "are you OK?" or made unnecessary apologies.
This site has a lot of potential to be one of the best handjob sites out there. Clean up the technical glitches, standardize the format and some edits to the content would do wonders.
The site does have a notice on the Home page that they are in the process of revamping the site. I'd hold out for the change if you're considering a membership.
Follow-Up:
I recently subscribed for another month. I decided to up my score from 78 to 82. They keep putting out quality content with beautiful girls. They are also getting better with consistency in video quality.
