Thumbs up for 1 by day, never got around to joining there but hope to one day. Have to admit i've never used VSX and when i go to join a site and that billing company pop up i always reach for the X in the top right corner.Your story there doesn't fill me with confidence about using them as many websites probably don't have such prompt customer support as DDF. I should add its not so much that i don't trust VXS its more that whenever i go to join a site expecting to pay 20 or 30 dollars when the biller is VXS that usually becomes 20 or 30 Euros.

I've just spent an hour trawling through the photos section of the tour and it seems to imply that they still have all the old stuff there going back as far as the old Babyface stuff from the late 90s. Now that I've had a closer look at the tour I would say they are probably not recycling content.
I'm quite tempted to sign up here again now that you've brought this classic site back to my attention but I have another membership going at the moment and don't really have the time for more than one so I'll have to put it on the back burner for a couple of weeks.

I would guess there's a good chance I would have that set too since I saved every Babyface set that was ever available on 18 Eighteen back then. I have often wondered if the old Babyface content is still available online or if it's a valuable part of my collection that would be lost forever should I ever have the misfortune to suffer the death of an external drive.
Rearadmiral's review stating the site goes back to 2007 would seem to suggest the classic stuff from the late 90s early 2000s has gone unless some of it has been recycled with later dates. Even though it's been over 10 years since I had a membership here I've never seen enough in the site tour to suggest that it would be worth spending money to go back again.

It's interesting that you say the site has been around since 2007, I've just checked my stash and I actually had a membership here back in early 2005 and even then they had several years content dating back as far as late 1998.
Looking at the tour I see a lot of models who I have in my collection from way back then so it makes me wonder if they are recycling content. Their early photo sets from the late 90s carried the site name Babyface Mag before changing the name to 18 Eighteen early 2001.

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

| Pros: |
A huge archive of classic solo model sites which mostly date from the early to mid 2000s.
Over a million photos in 15,000+ sets, 3500+ videos and 800+ models.
Includes bonus site access to All Sorts Of Girls and the Kristina Fey legacy site.
Much of the content particularly the solo model sites is exclusive.
Updates added a couple of times a month although these tend to be remastered old sets rather than actual new content.
The most recent remastered photo updates are 1696 x 2544 px in size.
All photo sets can be downloaded in zips.
No problems using my download manager (DTA).
Reasonable price tag of $19.95/ month.
Choice of CC Bill or Verotel as the payment processor, I just felt more comfortable using CC Bill despite their regional pricing adding an extra $2-3 to the price. |
| Cons: |
Due to the age of the content video quality is generally poor by today's standards.
Whilst some models show everything much of the content is very softcore, some models are non nude, some are topless only, some with mild nudity without spreading.
Poor file naming of zips, just meaningless numbers (e.g. set_1234).
Some models have their photo sets split up into between 2 to 4 parts so due to the meaningless zip file names you will probably need to rename your zips as you download them if you want to amalgamate the multiple parts of each photo set into one folder.
Annoying captcha on log in page. |
| Bottom Line: |
18 Magazine is a collection of 66 archive sites brought together under one subscription. Around 46 of the sites are solo model sites with the rest made up of a variety of multi model sites with various themes including a few foot fetish sites and a dedicated lesbian site. My main reason for joining was because I wanted to add the photo sets of some of the classic solo model sites to my collection such as Katie Fey, Andi Pink, Piper Fawn, Brittany's Bod, Mia Kimmy and Paris Tale amongst others. Back around 2005 when many of these sites were first around many of them were stand alone sites charging $30 for a membership so you could have spent several hundred dollars back then joining all these sites so it's great that they are all available now for one modestly priced $20 membership.
I would guess something like 90% of the content across this network of sites consists of softcore solo amateur teens in striptease type content ranging from non nude posing and teasing through to topless and explicit nudity depending on the model. Those looking for hardcore B/G videos would find little of interest and what there is the resolution is pretty poor by today's standards and not worth bothering with.
The navigation is fairly basic, you've got the usual sections for pictures, videos or models. Selecting pictures or videos you can then either select to view the content by most recent, most liked, most commented or top rated. You also have a couple of drop down menus where you can select content from a month or year right back to 2003 and from any specific one of the 66 sites in the network. You also have a display option where you can select the number of thumbnails to display per page. There's an alphabetical model index showing models across the entire network and you can click on any letter of the alphabet from A-Z. The site lacks any kind of advanced model search though.
Most of the photo content here is sized at between 1024px and 1280px long end which was fairly decent at the time it was created back around 2005 and even today these photos hold up quite well, I thought most of the photos looked pretty decent on my 24 inch monitor. In addition to this you have a sizeable amount of remastered photos; the Katie Fey (a.k.a.Jenya D at Metart) collection has around 42,000 photos that have been remastered up to at least 2048 px or larger; Brittany's Bod site has around 18,000 photos that have been remastered to 3072 px. The Kristina Fey legacy site that I'd previously had a membership at back around 2005 or 06 I found that all the photo sets I'd downloaded back then at 1024px have now been remastered up to 2048px, around 35,000 photos in total.
Due to the poorly named zip files and many of the photo sets being split into several parts it takes a lot of extra work and patience trying to organise your collection from this site as I found I needed to rename everything as I was downloading. Thankfully the individual photo file names from the sets split into several parts were consecutively numbered in most cases so you could put all parts of the set into one folder without any renumbering.
As a photo collector I didn't spend an awful lot of time exploring the video collection but what I did watch I was not very impressed with. Whilst you might find the occasional 1280x720 remastered video here and there the vast majority I downloaded were in resolutions like 720x480 or 768x576 with bit rates ranging from around 1000 to 1400k so barely watchable compared to the hd resolutions we're used to these days. I also found the videos a bit amateurish with a cameraman who seemed to have trouble holding the camera still and focusing on the girl at times.
As I ran out of time I wasn't able to to fully explore the bonus site All Sorts Of Girls but one thing I did notice is that they have the entire archives of the old Ebina Models site within so the combined subscription along with 18 Magazine provides a huge treasure trove of classic photo content and models for collectors. As a photo collector I feel I got plenty of value from my month's subscription but if your preference is for videos I would probably give it a miss unless there's some models you really have to have. |

It's a site I've always been quite tempted to join because there's some models there I would like to add to my collection such as Katie Fey and Ariel Rebel but the $40 price tag for me with regional pricing always put me off. At $19.95 I would be very tempted, I clicked on the banner for the special deal but it shows up as $24.95 for me then when I click through to CCBill the price goes up again to $29.11 with the regional bullshit pricing, expensive for content that is anything upto 15 years old.

This brings back memories, I remember joining 18Magazine what must be something like 10 years ago when it was just a small stand alone site with about 18 models, I think I did get a couple of bonus solo model sites with it too though. Looks like some great old content in this network for photo collectors.
I'll have to try and get around to joining because there are a couple of models there whose content I would like to collect namely Ariel Rebel and Katie Fey (Jenya D at Metart) so thanks for reminding me about this network. Only drawback though is the $40 price tag.

Thanks for the extra info elephant. It sounds like i'll be better off delaying a join here for a while until the amount of new better quality stuff has grown a bit especially with a price tag of $30...if it was $20 i'd be more inclined to take a chance on it but its definately a site to keep an eye on.

I was looking at the tour here the other day and yes i agree that Stasha is a real cutie and almost had me reaching for my credit card but being a photo fan and having read some of the other reviews for this site i have a feeling i would be left feeling disappointed with the size and quality of the photos here.

slutty's Review
Nice review thanks. I remember being at some of the deisel sites a few years back but i don't remember getting 18 Only Girls. I joined mainly for the Kamilla18 site. Whilst she is super cute i found the site quite poor, sub standard photography and boring videos, and very little else to interest me in the network.

Now I think you are just being pedantic mbaya, acting like a teacher marking a pupil's essay. I'm sure you already know the answers to the questions you asked since you already had a membership and reviewed the site only a few months ago.

I too found all that a bit confusing. I never bothered with verifying my email address of activating the free premium access but I was still able to log in to the site every day using my username and password.
I think that has something to do with accessing the site and using up any credits you have accumulated after your paid for membership ends but I never bothered using any of the credits or going back since my membership ended so couldn't say for certain.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, no offense but personally I thought the navigation became worse after the upgrade and I found it more difficult to find what I wanted. I guess you can't please all the people all of the time.

| Pros: |
A huge network featuring 39 sites covering a wide range of niches.
Over 10,000 scenes and more than 2600 models.
Almost everything since 2009 comes with stunning quality hd video and high resolution photos ranging from 4000 to 6000px on the long end.
Photos downloadable in zips in a choice of 2 sizes.
Latest videos come with a choice of 6 download options in h264 and wmv formats, a mobile option and 3 streaming options. Videos available as full scene or broken in to several parts.
Normally 1 to 2 new scenes per day across the network.
Excellent download speeds
Unbeatable value for money at only $9.95 for the first month with PU/TBP discount.
Billing by Epoch with no regional pricing |
| Cons: |
Watch out for the pre-checked cross sells at sign up
Price increases to $29.95 after the first month.
The different sites lack any real identity; they all look the same and use the same layout and navigation. It just feels like one big site in my opinion.
Unable to browse the high resolution photos online as they only come in zips.
File sizes not listed for zips or videos.
Some ridiculously large file sizes.
Personally I found the site layout and navigation extremely frustrating to use.
Very few new updates of interest to those of us who like solo content. |
| Bottom Line: |
I’ll admit I’m probably not the typical 21Sextury subscriber since I’m not really interested in hardcore action or videos and since my preferred niche is generally softcore photo based sites much of the content here is way out of my comfort zone. However I’ve seen enough previews of their content on free sites over the years to know I should expect to find more than enough solo content on sites like Pix and Video and Club Sandy to keep me occupied for at least a month.
I did not like the navigation or layout of this network at all and found myself very frustrated trying to navigate around and find what I wanted. The first time I logged in I seemed to spend a couple of hours just aimlessly clicking around trying to figure out a way to navigate the sites I was interested in. There was a long list of scene filters down the left hand side of the screen which I couldn’t get to work in Internet Explorer but later discovered they worked in Chrome so switched to that and managed to find a method for downloading my content. I was able to select a site (ie Pix and Video or Club Sandy) then check the “solo-masturbation” option and that brought up all the content I was interested in. About 9 or 10 days in to my membership the site seemed to undergo some kind of upgrade and those scene filters disappeared so I became frustrated again at having to find another method to navigate the content. The scene filters are still there but they only show up when you select “scenes” which brings up a list of the entire network scenes. If you select an individual site such as Pix and Video which in itself has 2,841 scenes there is no option that I can see to search or filter those scenes within that individual site. I would just like to be able to select a site (i.e. Club Sandy or Pix and Video) and then select solo scenes within that site.
I also don’t like the way the model index is displayed. I like to see the models name and photo but here you only get photos. You have to hover your mouse over the photos to find out the model info. When you select a model and see her scene list you then have to hover your mouse over the preview picture for every scene to find out which site it comes from which I find really irritating. Hovering your mouse on the scene preview picture can also bring up a series of preview captions but I found it a bit hit and miss whether those actually display. When I find a model like Sophie Moone or Sandy with the number of scenes running in to the hundreds spread over several pages it would nice to be able to filter the scenes also within the model’s page (i.e. select Sandy solo scenes).
Once I got past all my frustrations with the navigation I found they do have an amazing amount of content with archives dating back to 2003. It’s a real treasure trove for collectors of top Euro models like Eve Angel, Sandy, Sophie Moone and Sandra Shine all of whom I’ve collected for years. Almost every scene I saw comes with a video and photo set. The photo shoots are all professionally done and look consistently good throughout the site. Only downside is I found the file sizes of some of the high resolution photo sets too much for my connection to handle, often in the 600 to 800 MB size range. The first day I was on the site it took me the best part of an evening to download about 30 photo sets and when I checked the size of the folder it was over 12GB so I just deleted them all and replaced them with the standard 1280px photo sets. Personally I would prefer to have a decent mid-sized photo option around 2000px.
Overall I felt the same about this site as I did about X-Art, as a first time subscriber it was well worth a 1 month subscription to go through the archives but there are so few new updates of interest to me that I could not see myself keeping a recurring subscription or even returning anytime soon. As a fan of solo content I thought DDF Network was much better with a new solo scene added more or less daily to their 1-by-Day site whereas here you’re lucky to see 1 new solo scene per week. As a first time member I give it an 85 for the huge amount of content available, if I was a returning member I would probably rate it much lower due to lack of interesting new updates |

Hi CT, just read your review. I'm glad i'm not the only one frustrated by the navigation on this site. After reading all the other glowing reviews I was beginning to think it must be me doing something wrong lol.

Good review CT, I agree with everything you wrote here. Regarding the navigation I can honestly say this is the worst site I've ever seen, it's an absolute mess. Like you it also annoys the hell out of me having to hover my mouse pointer over every single model and scene to find out who and what it is. At times i've been so frustrated with this site I've felt like giving up and throwing my computer out the window. Hopefully I'll get my own review of it written up in the next week or so.

Since I'm only really interested in solo content and only collect photos I'm guessing 90% of the network probably won't appeal to me so I'm hoping I can go through and pick and choose everything I want within a month as I was able to do at DDF. If not I guess there's nothing to stop me cancelling and then rejoiining again for a tenner.
