I'm a big fan of this genre. I like the public element of it though admittedly it is often poorly shot due to space constraints.

I agree that this is a great fetish network. I wish some of the dormant sites would become active again. This network covers a broad range of fetishes.

I like the genres they cover but I find some of their scene setups to be repetitive. The scenes seem to follow a set pattern.
If you're still a member there can you see if Brutal Pickups has updated recently please? I was a member there recently and the most recent update was May 2016. I like the public element of those scenes and would consider rejoining if they had new stuff.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of Legal Porno. As you say, it is expensive but worth it. Evil Angel can come close but there is no substitute for LP stuff.

It depends on the criteria. If the award is open to any site then I'd probably choose Evil Angel. They crank out a lot of amazing porn and seem to have hit on a business model that works. And the site isn't pricey either so that helps.
But, if the criteria is a new site in 2016 then I'd have to vote for Holed. It's no coincidence that my favourite scene from 2016 also comes from there.

Ah, our good friends at Centrobill strike again. I had the same problem a few months ago and a member here had posted an email address that actually works. This is too late now for you to cancel your trial membership but it if still recurs this should do it. The email is linked in this thread on the forum:
https://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum_th...d.html?threadid=4680
And don't feel bad about getting burned by not doing all the research that you should. It's happened to a lot of us...

I rarely listen to music at home so there is no need for me to invest in equipment. My wife and I have such different tastes in music that whatever each of us plays annoys the other. She prefers top-40 stuff and I have a broad range of preferred music styles from traditional bluegrass, through 'classic' country and into 70's rock. The only common theme in my music collection is that with rare exceptions not much is newer than the late 1970s.

One thing that continues to impress me about PU is how civil everyone has remained, even with new members joining all the time. The bar was set high and has stayed that way. I can't imagine a more civil forum on any topic exists on the internet.

mbaya's Review
Part of me wants to strangle you for writing bad things about Tushy, but the bigger part of me has to admit that you’re right. Objectively, Tushy is a bit dull. They strive for a certain look in every scene and that includes the models they cast. While the scenes aren't formulaic they do stick within some narrow boundaries. And you’re right, ethnicity, age and body type are among those boundaries.
I think it’s great for anyone reading PU reviews to see that there is a counter-view to the glowing reviews that some of us wrote.
This is still a favourite site of mine and will likely remain so for a long time but I can appreciate and understand your counterpoints. I like the model types the select and I like how the scenes are shot and edited, even if they are a bit stilted. But the big thing I really like about the site is that the formula they use (probably it’s just a big wad of cash!) obviously appeals to models who don’t normally do anal scenes. One the big draws to this site for me is the first and rare anals that they shoot.
But your points are definitely valid and will add a lot of credibility to how PU members review the site. Even if you're wrong... :-)

Elegant Angel

55.0
|
Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- 521 DVDs, 2700+ scenes
- Many A-list models
- Typical mainstream porn
- Download and viewing options
- Easy-to-use site layout
- Supports download managers
- TBP discount |
Cons: |
- Hasn’t updated in six months
- Billing issues
- Credit card hack
- Generic file names |
Bottom Line: |
It appears that we may need to observe a moment of silence for a once-great studio. And if they aren't dead they are mortally wounded as they haven’t uploaded any new material in six months. That will hardly fill any prospective members with confidence. But it gets worse! I found the billing and cancelling processes to be deceptive and, perhaps coincidentally I’ll admit, within a short time of joining the site my credit card was hacked.
The Good:
Elegant Angel was once a powerhouse studio in the adult industry. They were a top-quality money-making machine going back many years. While they don’t have much of their back catalogue available here (from the 1990s and 2000s) there is a still a good collection of some great porn here. The available porn dates from the last ten years or so and features some of the biggest stars in the industry at the time each was shot. The site currently has over 2700 scenes on 521 DVDs.
The videos are streamed in two resolutions (no details on those are available) and there are four download options on the newest scenes: 320X180, 720x408, 1280x720 (3500kb/s) and 1920x1080 (8000kb/s). File sizes are reasonable for the two higher resolutions with the 720 files around 1GB and the 1080 files closer to 2GB. The older scenes (depending on when they were filmed) often only have two lower resolution files available.
The site allows download managers and I had no issues with the links timing out too quickly. There is also a great TBP discount offered so if you join be sure to do so through here.
The bad:
There has been nothing added to this site for the last six months. The last videos or pictures date from June 2016. I’ve read that the studio itself is in trouble and if the lack of videos here are any indication those rumours might be true.
Lack of updates in and of themselves isn't necessarily bad, in my opinion. 521 DVDs for $10 is still a great deal for a first-time member. It’s the subsequent rejoins when things become a problem. So the buyer definitely needs to be aware of this issue. (On a related note, the tour pages allow a prospective member to see what’s available with the upload date so there will be an opportunity to see if the site has been resurrected at some point.)
This is a minor complaint, but the site uses generic file names that don’t identify the scene so you’ll need to rename them as necessary as you go along.
The Ugly:
Elegant Angel bills through “psnbilling” and since I’ve signed up and cancelled memberships here before I wasn’t concerned. But this ‘biller’ doesn’t seem to be the actual biller now. When you want to cancel your membership and follow the links on the psnbiller page you end up on a page with several hyperlinks to known billers, such as Epoch. You have to then select who your actual biller was. But guess what? The email from psnbiller doesn’t identify who the actual biller was. No problem, right? Just check them all. I did that and none of those listed billers had any information on my membership. And the charge that showed up on my credit card was for “psnbilling.”
Billing B.S. like this serves no one well in the long run.
The good news is that I don’t really need to worry about cancelling my membership though. Within a short time after signing up to Elegant Angel through psnbilling my credit card was being used for purchases thousands of miles away. Since the card had to be cancelled, cancelling the membership isn't really an issue now.
Admittedly I can’t say for certain that my card was hacked through psnbilling but I hadn’t used the card in five days and then within an hour of signing up the number was being used fraudulently elsewhere. That’s a bit too much of a coincidence for me.
Obviously I can’t recommend anyone joining this site who has been a member in the recent past but given the billing issues and the rather coincidental credit card hack I’m not willing to recommend this site to anyone any longer. If the billing and security issues were resolved I’d certainly recommend the site to someone who’d never been a member before but unless there was clear evidence of those problems being resolved I’d say stay away. But since the only reply that I got from them regarding my credit card hack was to tell me that they’d rebill me until I cancelled then I’m going to take it that they don’t plan on fixing those problems. But since they caused me to have my credit card cancelled, good luck to them in rebilling.

Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- 12 Videos
- Fresh, A-list models
- Some element of public nudity / sex
- Can be joined as part of a network
- Rough sex, bondage
- Good acting
- Discount if joined through the network |
Cons: |
- Hasn’t updated since May 2016
- Very little scene variation
- Likely too rough for many porn buyers
- Stand-alone site is more expensive than the network |
Bottom Line: |
Make no mistake that this site is definitely not for everyone. Even if you like D/s and BDSM scenes from sites like Kink this site takes the fantasy to an extreme by playing it as if there is no consent, at the beginning at least. (The possible exceptions with Kink would be Bound Gangbangs and Hardcore Gang Bang where the fantasy is also forced sex.) I have to confess that as someone who often likes these scenarios, this site made me a bit uncomfortable. But that’s as much the quality of the acting as the forced-sex scenario.
The scenario used in each scene follows the same formula. I’m usually willing to live with scenario-based porn when the basis for it really doesn’t allow a lot of variation. For example, if you subscribe to a massage site there is little variation possible. It would be like the recent stepfather and stepdaughter scenes all starting with the stepdaughter wanting to model an outfit. The ‘step’ premise allows for many variations. That’s the problem with how the scenes are set up on Brutal Pickups: there are other possible variations but the same one is used, often with no modification. The scenes start on a dimly lit Miami street at nighttime and we see a creepy looking guy standing in the shadows. No one in their right mind would approach this guy in these circumstances but along comes a scantily-clad 18-20 year old who happens to be lost and needs some help. Hello? My recommendation is flagging down a police car rather than seeking assistance from a guy who looks like he just go released from prison that morning!
As you can imagine, this shifty looking young man helps our damsel in distress and faith in humanity is restored. Or not. What really happens is a forced-sex scene with bondage.
As the scene progresses the female models begin to play it differently. She begins to play it as if she’s enjoying it and by the end of the scene she’s a willing participant. (I should also add, that like most other sites that make porn like this there is an interview with the female model after the scene where she makes it abundantly clear that she fully consented to everything.)
If there is a positive element to how these scenes are played it is that the actors tend to play the roles well. There is an inherent creepiness to the whole business. In a good way.
The female models are some of the newest of the A-list girls in the business. Having models like Jojo Kiss, Anya Olsen and Gina Valentina really adds value to the site.
As an aside, a complaint I have about this site, and most of the sites on this network, is the utter lack of anal scenes. It seems to me that this premise lends itself well to including some anal sex.
I wouldn’t suggest to any prospective member that this site should be classed as a public nudity or public sex site but there are elements of those here. As someone who likes that rare niche it does add heat to the scenes. The scenes begin on the streets of Miami with cars driving by. The model is pulled just in off the street, bound and fucked in a way that in many cases it’s obvious that there is some risk of getting caught.
The obvious downside to the site is that it is small, with only 12 scenes, and it hasn’t updated since May, 2016. I think a reasonable interpretation is that the site is dead. While that’s bad, there is a silver lining. While the site alone is a $39 fee, if you join the network (Fetish Network) you get all the sites for the TBP discounted price of $29. But as networks go this one doesn’t offer a lot of variety and many of the sites haven’t updated in years.
Like the other newer sites on the network this one has three download resolutions. This is a big improvement over what some of the older dead sites offer. There is “Hi” (1920x1080, 8000kb/s), “Medium” (1280x720, 6000kb/s) and “SD” (854x480, 2000kb/s). Framerates are 23fps on all of those. I downloaded the 1080p scenes and subjectively they look good. They are crisp and show no obvious pixilation.
I’m going to do something unusual for a review and not make or deny a recommendation because I think the scenes here will appeal to such a narrow group of porn buyers that the cost and value-for-money proposition aren't really relevant. The scenes are a bit creepy, they’re well-acted and they have some hot models. But on the other hand there are only 12 scenes. I’m glad I joined and if the site ever adds new scenes I’ll likely rejoin. If you’re tastes run to this niche you should have a look. |

Teen Creeper

73.0

Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- 8 videos
- Three available download resolutions
- Rough sex fantasy (with full expressed consent)
- Fresh models
- Photos available
- TBP discount (if you join through the network) |
Cons: |
- Small site
- Hasn’t updated in over a month
- Photos by singles only, no zips |
Bottom Line: |
Prospective members take note! Teen Creeper is affiliated with the Fetish Network and my membership to FN gives me access to several new sites on that network, including Teen Creeper. That’s important because joining Teen Creeper costs $39 USD but TBP has a discount on the network for $29 USD.
Even though I’ll assume that anyone reading this would likely join through the network to get more porn for less money I won’t turn this into a review of the full Fetish Network. I posted a review of the network last year and only scored it at 65. Had I just joined the network now I might score it at 70 to account for the addition of a few new sites that are a big improvement over the older sites but the flaws with the older sites remain: they no longer update and the file resolutions are low.
One major improvement over the older sites is file resolution. Teen Creeper offers three download resolutions that reflect what you’d normally expect in a commercial site like this. The scenes are available in “Hi” (1920x1080, 8000kb/s), “Medium” (1280x720, 6000kb/s) and “SD” (854x480, 2000kb/s). Framerates are 23fps on all resolutions. The scenes look good on a 24” monitor and a 50” TV.
There are currently only eight scenes available on the site. That’s the bad news. The worse news is that the site hasn’t updated in over a month and since it is one of the newer sites on the network I had high hopes to see regular updates. It seems those hopes were misplaced.
Teen Creeper is no different from the other newer sites on the network in that they all share the same theme of domination/submission, rough sex and forced sex. This site is not for fans of couples-oriented porn. Teen Creeper has the specific theme of a young girl (18-22) in her home, her back yard or by her pool while she is being stalked by a ‘creeper’ in a hoodie. The creeper calls or texts and frightens the girl and then he sneaks up and forces himself on her. So it’s pretty much a scene involving a four letter word starting with ‘r’ that means the criminal act of forcing someone to have sex. But this is just fantasy…As you might expect, the sex tends to be rough. To ensure that any viewer fully understands that these scenes aren’t reality each scene ends with a brief interview of the model where she makes it clear that her and her partner were acting and everything was consensual.
The site is only a couple of months old so the models are some of the freshest popular girls working today. That’s a definite plus to the site.
The site (and network) allows download managers to queue-up scenes but it doesn’t allow downloads to stop and resume. File sizes are under 2GB for the highest resolution so that shouldn’t be a serious problem for many.
Photos are available but they are not zipped. Given that this is a video site I doubt that will be a deal-breaker for many.
A value-for-money or an overall recommendation is hard to pin down on this site but I’m going to give it a qualified recommendation. For someone who likes rough sex videos this site may be worth considering as long as you consider that the site is small and not (apparently) updating. It’s also worth considering that if you join the network, especially is it is your first time, you have access to other similar sites which increase the overall value of the membership. |

I tend to hoard porn and not delete it but a vast majority of it will only be watched a few times. When I find a video I really like I'll flag it and any of those videos could be watched often. Occasionally I'll go through my entire collection and thin out some stuff that I don't watch but the favorites will never get deleted, even if some of them are from the mid-90s and have terrible video quality.

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- 32 scenes
- Exclusive scenes
- Two file resolutions
- Some hot new models
- Interesting niches
- Bills through CC Bill |
Cons: |
- Not a traditional subscription model
- Update schedule can’t be confirmed – updates not dated
- No streaming
- No photos |
Bottom Line: |
This is a site that is likely to generate some polarized positions. Some will see it as a tiny site with an unusual subscription model while others will see an upstart site offering some pretty good porn trying to make a go of it in a difficult business. In the interest of full disclosure I’ll confess to being firmly in that latter group.
The site owners appear to have been listening to complaints on various forums, including this one, since they actively market to people looking for (or wanting to avoid) certain trends in porn. The site bills itself as being 100% POV, male talent that doesn’t speak during the scene, natural length scenes and cumshots that don’t include five minutes of the guy jerking off.
As of this writing there are currently 32 scenes available. The scenes appear to be all exclusive to this site. Unfortunately I can’t say whether the site is updating regularly as the scenes are undated. If in the near future I find out the update schedule I’ll amend my review or add a comment.
Most of the scenes follow a fairly standard format. I recognize that a lot of people find any format to be repetitive but my position is that if the format works then why not go with it? While I think the overall format does work here I also think that it could be improved by having more interaction between the female and male talent. The scenes are all POV and begin with a blowjob. (It’s fair to say that while the site isn't only oral it is skewed in that direction. That’s not a bad thing.) In many of the scenes the female talent begins while wearing something sexy like lingerie or a little black dress and usually removes that at some point during the scene. A majority of the scenes that I downloaded also included vaginal sex. That is usually alternated with more oral and all of the scenes I downloaded ended with a pop shot in the mouth followed by a swallow.
There is a list of niches available that runs from what you’d expect (hair color, Latina, MILF, etc.) to more uncommon ones (LBD - little black dress, man shirt, wet head, etc.) As someone with a few odd interests I was pleased to see ‘wet head.’
Subjectively I find the scenes to be pretty hot but as a viewer who prefers the scene set up and the interaction between the talent the lack of that does diminish the heat somewhat. Each scene opens right in the action with no opportunity to build any sexual tension between the girl and the guy. Admittedly, this may not matter to a lot of buyers. It seems, however, that the heat built in the scenes relies entirely on the female model herself as there is no interaction between her and the male talent. In my opinion that can makes the scenes a bit too mechanical. Many of the scenes do build an intimacy with a lot of eye contact from the model.
The site has a mix of relatively well-known models, such as Alexa Nova, but has mostly relative unknowns.
The scenes are available in two resolutions: 1920x1080 and 1280x720. The 1080p scenes come in at 6000kb/s and 29fps. Due to the download model I didn’t check the specs on the 720p scenes. I can confirm that the 1080p scenes look good on a 24” monitor and a 50” TV.
For those who like photos and streaming videos you’re out of luck as the site offers neither of those.
The site supports download managers and has fast download speeds and it also bills through CC Bill.
Perhaps the most unusual aspect of this site is the subscription method, or rather, the lack of it. Registration on the site is required and is free. A prospective member does not need to provide any credit card information at the time of registration. All registration gives you is the ability to see what scenes are available and to get a brief preview of each of them. Downloads are available at a reasonable cost of $1.50 USD but must be bought in a bundle of 10 downloads for $15. The downside to the pay-to-download model when bundled in packages of 10 is that it becomes more expensive if you really only want two or three scenes.
While the choice to join any site has a big subjective component to it, and I recognize that this site provides a lot of what I like, I still feel confident in giving it an overall objective recommendation. While it is still small the cost is reasonable. What you get for a $15 package is the ability to download 10 exclusive scenes with relatively new models, most of whom are very attractive. Lastly, if you’re like me and measure value more on quality than quantity and like supporting small upstart sites this site certainly warrants looking at. This is a site that I will definitely keep an eye on in the future and will almost certainly continue to buy download packages if new scenes are added regularly.
I hope the site owners do well. |

Agreed. I'd be lying if I said I never joined a site through an email offer or through Idealgasm, but the offer has to be far better than what TBP/PU offers, and that doesn't happen often. I find that most offers I get are matched here at TBP and I'll always join through here to ensure that the primary funding source is alive and well.
Two other things about Idealgasm that are worth noting:
1) they offer deals on the same sites, over and over. It seems rare that a new discount is offered, unlike here at TBP/PU where new discounts are always being added;
2) Idealgasm offers no way for users to comment on the deals and potentially warn other users of possible problems. I joined a network through Idealgasm a few weeks ago and the deal was sold as full access but it actually only gave access to two of the network sites. If that happened here at TBP/PU a member would have made a comment and warned other potential subscribers away and the TBP/PU staff would have found out what was going on.
All that to say that I completely agree with you.

Yes. Bryan Gozzling, the site owner, recently responded to member requests and allows a more generous download package. This will probably make the site more attractive to members.

Thanks for the link. I have a couple of index sites bookmarked but I was looking for one that tracked by website. I guess I'm stuck in the Dark Ages with IAFD, though, to be fair, they are listing websites now.
