I'm more of a hoarder than some of the others who answered this question, but I'm okay with download limits as long as they are reasonable. In 2017 having a limit of 10 or even 20GB per days isn't reasonable given file sizes.

I think we're living in a Golden Age of porn. High-speed internet has changed everything. I have access to virtually anything I want in the comfort of my own home. I don't need to go to the porn shop and risk having a busload of neighbours drive by as I exit with a VHS tape. Canada's porn laws are still pretty draconian so stuff like what Kink.com sells online would never make it across the border in a physical format but now I can subscribe and download what I want. And storage is so much easier now. If I had the porn collection back 20 years ago that I do now it would fill my basement. Now it is a couple of dozen external drives in a locked briefcase.
Having said that though, I have really fond memories of when I started to be a collector, which was in the early-to-mid 1990s. I've been able to source a lot of my favourites from that time online and while the resolutions are crappy I still enjoy them. And unlike my entire collection which is backed up, some of these treasured titles are double-backed-up.

Valid points. I'd likely sign on for that rate. The drawback for LP would be that many subscribers wouldn't keep recurring membership but would join occasionally to download the scenes posted since the last time they joined. But it would still be very profitable for them. And I agree that the ticket system probably prevents some people from 'joining' who would otherwise take a membership.

It's strange that the site is affiliated with 45 other big sites (like Team Skeet) and this is the only one where they don't list the models. I subscribe to a lot of sites in the course of a year and this is the only one that I know of that doesn't list models.
It's close to a deal breaker for me too. I might email them with a suggestion but I'm sure the chances of them listening to a customer is about zero.

I suspect that they are already raking in huge amounts of cash with their current business model which gives them little incentive to change it. They also show no signs of any kind of decline that might otherwise cause them to try something new.
Bear with me while I make some completely uneducated assumptions.
The latest Charlotte Sartre scene is currently showing about 55,000 views. I highly doubt that means that so far 55,000 people have bought the scene. I suspect that number is how many people have accessed the page or watched the trailer. My biggest assumption is on the number of people who then buy the scene. Charlotte is a big-name American star so I’m guessing that a conservative estimate would be that 5% of people who access the scene buy it. That would mean so far that 2750 people have bought it at approximately $5.50USD for a total of just over $15,000USD. I suspect that amount probably has them in the black on the scene already. But remember that the scene just went online yesterday so it still has lots of legs in it. I plan to buy a copy but just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Truthfully, I need to add some tickets to my monthly allotment before I can buy it. The Aidra Fox scene took the last of my tickets.
But look at another older scene that probably also generated a lot of interest – Samantha Rone’s first double anal that was uploaded in August 2016. That scene currently has views of 230,000. Again assuming that 5% of viewers buy it that means the scene (based on my uneducated assumptions) grossed approximately $63,000USD. (I had to assume a 5.5 ticket requirement because I bought the scene when it came out so I can’t see the ticket cost for it any longer.) Even if they paid Samantha properly for that scene they have definitely made a lot of money off of it.
I suspect that in choosing the two scenes that I have I am slanting things a bit because these scenes were probably bigger draws than many others. But it’s also possible that my assumption on uptake is low and maybe 10% of viewers buy the scenes. That doubles the gross for each of them.
Not to drag this out, but I think a good comparison is between Kink.com and LP. Kink is clearly in decline. They still produce some of the best BDSM porn available but it seems to me that it is a sign of decline that they can no longer sell memberships to individual sites but now bundle them as a network. If LP is generating the interest that they are then there is lots of life in their business model yet.
But like you, I definitely wish there was a one-price full access membership.

The problem for me is that LP is like the crack cocaine of the porn business. I first 'joined' LP maybe five years ago and it is easily still the biggest part of my monthly porn budget. Like you, the hard part becomes budgeting your monthly tickets to get the scenes you want. I'd say at least six months of the year I end up buying additional tickets just to get the scenes I want. I'm not complaining though - that would be me complaining that LP makes too much porn that I want to see!

|
| Pros: |
- Unique blowjob site
- Top porn stars
- High-energy performances
- Sloppy blowjobs with spit play (if you’re into that)
- High production values
- Mostly exclusive
- Supports download managers |
| Cons: |
- No TBP discount
- Questionable biller |
| Bottom Line: |
Leave it to a porn Maestro like Mike Adriano to start a blowjob site and find a way to make it unique. Blowjob sites are nothing new and seem to run the gamut from passionate to misogynistic but Swallowed is the only blowjob site that features models giving enthusiastic and sloppy head. The level of energy that the models bring to each of these scenes is, for me, what makes the site stand apart from the crowd.
The models here are all A-list stars. To make things better, most of the scenes feature two or three of these big stars in the same scene. This casting allows the stars to feed off of the energy of the others helping to make each scene special.
If you’re a Mike Adriano fan you know his work can be formulaic, and the same is true here. For those opposed to following a formula I get that, but in a lot of cases the formula works. In my opinion, it works here. The formula here is essentially the same one that Mike uses in all his scenes: the scene opens with the model or models sitting on the couch in Mike’s house while dressed in clothes that would likely get them arrested in public. There is a brief interview and then the models start to shed clothes. Given that most of the scenes here have multiple models there is usually some girl-on-girl play at this point. As with Mike’s formula, he spends some time getting intimately acquainted with each of the girls’ anuses. Then the attention shifts to the blowjob. As I said above, the blowjobs are very enthusiastic and very sloppy. If the site has a downside, it’s that if you aren't a fan of sloppy blowjobs then you’re not apt to be happy here. There is some spit play in almost all of the scenes and it is fair to say that spit play is partly what this site is about.
An advantage to most of the scenes having multiple high-energy models is that none of them take any time off during the scene. Mike’s cock, balls and ass all get a lot of attention, with the models swapping places regularly.
The final advantage to most of the scenes having multiple high-energy models is that there is often cum play and swapping.
I’m a big fan of f-on-m rimming in scenes and if you are too then this site is a gold mine for it. I catalogue rimming in scenes and I had to give up with this site. Instead I now catalogue the scenes that don’t have f-on-m rimming because they are rare. My preference would be for Mike to use different positions occasionally when getting rimmed, but that isn't a deal breaker.
The site currently has 103 scenes with a new one being added approximately every four or five days. When the site went live in 2016 most of the initial upload was of oral scenes from Mike’s DVDs. The good news is that once the site got its feet under it the scenes are now exclusive. I didn’t count them, but a good guess is that of the available scenes over 90 are exclusive.
As with all of Mike’s scenes, he has the resources to ensure near perfection. While his budget for talent must be big he doesn’t scrimp on production values. The lighting, sound, camera work and editing are all top-shelf.
The technical side of the site is well done too. The site is well thought out and the scenes are easily searchable. The site also uses tags.
The scenes are available to stream in three resolutions. They are available for download in four resolutions. There are two 1920x1080 files (12,000 and 5,000 kb/s), a 1280x720 file (1500) and a 640x360 file (500). All have 30fps. I downloaded the 1080p scenes with the lower bitrate to save some disk space. The higher bitrate files look sharper but the file size is about double the lower bitrate. The 5000kb/s files look great on a 24” monitor and a 50” TV.
If the site has one flaw it is that it doesn’t use one of the better billers. The site bills through Customercare.co and while I have never had a problem with them they don’t make cancelling easy. I posted my issues with this biller on a thread in the forum. https://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum_th...d.html?threadid=5209 Given my complaints you may think me hypocritical to continue to use them, but the reality is that I like Swallowed enough to put up with some billing frustration.
The site allows download managers and I’ve never had an issue downloading while using one.
Unfortunately the site doesn’t offer a TBP discount. This is doubly annoying because they offer discounts on other sites. I hope the TBP staff can get the same deal for here.
The bottom line for me is that this is an excellent blowjob site as long as a prospective member knows what he or she is getting. This isn't about a woman giving passionate pleasure to her man and it isn't about brutal face-fucking. This site is about exuberant, enthusiastic women giving sloppy head with tons of drool. And it’s about the balls and ass getting almost as much attention as the cock. I HIGHLY recommend joining this site. |

Your review was interesting to read. Ultimate Surrender is one of the few Kink sites that I've never really gotten into. It's a niche that doesn't really do anything for me and since it is all-girl that's a downside for me too. But for those who like this niche I have to recognize that if anyone is going to do it right it would be Kink.

I'm not a fan of CFNM porn but I can still appreciate a thorough and well-written review.
I know that CFNM is a specific fetish and I get that, but I really like CMNF scenes and there is no specific label for that since it occurs in a lot of porn. I just wish it was a tag. It occurs a lot in BDSM porn since it is an easy way to set up a power imbalance (as it does in CFNM porn too) but I like scenes that have that power imbalance but don't go as far as BDSM does.
Thanks for posting the review!

Coincidentally I was thinking of a BB rejoin since it has been a while. I'll join using a different computer and email address and see if I can get the same offer. Thanks for pointing this out.

"Glad" by Steve Winwood when he was with Traffic does it. Another go-to song is "Blue Sky" written by Dickie Betts which was an Allman Brothers staple for years until the rest of the band kicked Dickie out due to his, ummm... unhealthy lifestyle. The irony is that Dickie may be the only member of the original band who is still alive. He's well preserved, I guess.

I have to say that I am really surprised at the longevity of DVDs. Here at PU and on some other forums it seems that DVDs are still the 'go to' format for a lot of people. I don't get that. If my porn collection was on DVDs it would take up a warehouse. That's only a mild exaggeration. As it is, it's on 24 external drives and they fit in a briefcase.

Thanks for the comments and advice. i probably won't be taking the plunge in the next 12 months but I am confident that VR will have eventually be mainstream in porn and because of that I'll take the plunge sometime.
I hear you on the issue of porn driving so much technology. Hmmm... what on earth could the 4-head VCR be good for...?

Hmmm... maybe I should look into this a bit more.
In terms of hardware, what else is needed besides the player? Is the 'player' just software? Is the headset thing USB or HDMI or something else?
You've got me interested now...

Thanks for posting this review. For a long time I always tried to be on the cutting edge of technology and a lot of that was driven by porn. I had the first VCR of all of my friends (back when they were top-loading and weighed 50 lbs.), I was a early adopter into DVDs. I skipped Blueray simply because online porn and external storage was becoming better and cheaper. But... I can't bring myself to take the plunge on VR yet and it isn't that I don't think it would be any good, but my worry is that it isn't plug-and-play and I'd never be able to figure out how to use it.
Someday though...

|
| Pros: |
- Truth in advertising – throats get explored here
- Network access
- 650 scenes
- A-list models
- Updates weekly
- TBP discount
- Logically laid out
- Easy to search
- Supports download managers |
| Cons: |
- Older scenes have low resolutions
- Bitrates are a bit low |
| Bottom Line: |
Throated is a great example of truth in advertising: you get what you’d expect to get when you join this site, even if it isn't to everyone’s liking. Throated is part of the My XXX Pass network and you get access to all the other sites too. An advantage to satisfying your desire for oral-themed porn here is that the network offers Throated, which offers harder-edged oral scenes, and also offers Only Teen Blowjobs and Mommy Blows Best to cover other interests in the oral niche.
As blowjob sites go, this one is harder than many, but it isn't to be confused with the extreme sites that offer face fucking with a heavy dose of misogyny. Even if you don’t like rough blowjob scenes you’d have to admit that these aren't an attempt to degrade the model like some other sites offer. It’s also worth noting that many, if not most, of the scenes were intentionally sloppy with lots of spit and lots of spit play. If you’re really into that then this is the site for you.
It’s fair to say that most of the models here are A-list. A large majority of the models on the site are American but there are some of the bigger names from Eastern Europe and Russia. One advantage to the site is that since it has been around since 2006 and uses mostly A-list models it may be an opportunity for a collector to get access to a scene or two from a favourite who has since retired.
The network is easy to navigate and the sites are too. Once you’re in Throated you can sort the scenes in various ways. There are six scenes per page and all have a large thumbnail of the model and relevant data like her name and the date of the scene are also provided. Clicking on that opens a separate page with the streaming and download options. You can also search by model and by tag, though admittedly on an oral site most of the tags will be useless. Obviously, for example, on an oral site there are precisely zero anal scenes.
The site currently has 650 scenes available and a new Throated scene is added weekly. This may not sound great but remember that this site is part of a network and many of the other sites are being updated regularly too.
The site allows download managers and I used one with no problems. I found the download speeds to be on par with other similar sites and I didn’t find that the links timed out quickly. I downloaded a lot on the first day of my membership looking to find a download limit and didn’t hit one. If there is one, it is high enough to not be an issue for most.
One warning about the site is that while it started back in 2006 the file resolutions aren't such that a serious collector would be satisfied with the older scenes. From the site’s beginning until September / October 2009 the only resolutions offered were 360p and 160p. As a collector, I wouldn’t take up disk space with those files now. Those offerings were definitely not up to industry standards then.
After October 2009 things really improve. On offer after that are 1080p, 720p, 480p, 240p and 160p. Things improve again in mid-2013 with the addition of 540p and 360p. There really is a scene resolution for any preference or device. The only file type, however, is MP4. The good news is that the way the site grew a member has access to approximately 500 scenes with 1080p and 720p available.
Bitrates are a bit lower than I’ve seen elsewhere but the scenes still look good on a 24” monitor and a 50” TV. The 1080p files are 6600kb/s, the 720 are 2700kb/s and the 540 are 1500kb/s.
Photos are available as singles or as a zip. More recent photo sets are 1920x1080.
The icing on the cake is a generous TBP discount.
I’d normally conclude by saying that this site is recommended for someone with an interest in whatever the niche is but to do that here is just too narrow. I like the scenes that Throated has to offer but the network is more than just an oral site (even though you also get access to two other oral sites). There are other sites that feature sex, and one site that is unique and innovative – Immoral Live. I’ve reviewed that in the past and still really like what they have to offer.
So the bottom line is that I definitely recommend this network and this site. If you like blowjobs at the harder end of the spectrum then the title isn't lying to you. It’s a well done site with some of the most beautiful women in the business from 2006 to the present. And with a TBP discount you can give yourself an early Christmas present. |

This may be a UK or EU (or international) issue. In Canada and in the US Evil Angel has its own billing company. They aren't the best in the business (because you have to jump through a few hoops to cancel) but I've dealt with them enough to trust them.
Here's a solution for you - move to the Colonies! :-)
