It may only be symbolic, but I think asking Rick and Khan to delist a site that has a proven issue is a good idea. While there may not be too many of us who are active on this site I'm confident that there are thousands who rely on it for purchasing decisions. If TBP/PU could delist a site it may have an impact.
Consider the recent delisting of German Goo Girls after members repeatedly complained of fraudulent billing. Sure, the webmaster weighed in each time promising to fix it, but until the site chose a reputable biller it needed to be delisted.

Khan's right on this. I see the discount when I click 'join' so the most likely issue is a cookie from an earlier visit. Clear your cache and you should be fine.
This looks like a great site, BTW. If you join please post a review to let everyone else know what you think.

For me it's a modification of "immediately buy a new hard drive." I plan ahead and when I know I'll be running out of space soon that's when I buy a new one.

I'm no fan of caps either, but one this low is a real pain in the ass. What's especially annoying is that they offer HD scenes that will reach the cap very quickly. Their justification for it is that it prevents some heavy users from hogging the bandwidth but if that happens at this site why isn't it an issue at other sites too? And isn't throttling a better solution for those rare times when there might be a lot of users on the site? I'll never be a fan of caps, but I can live with reasonable ones. This one isn't reasonable.
Thanks for weighing in on this.

Khan - I owe some apologies - to you and to Amateur Allure. I have several memberships on the go and when I sorted through this following your comment I realized that I attributed the cross-sell to the wrong site. The cross-sell came when joining Casting Couch X.
Is there a way you can remove this entire thread as it is both misleading and irrelevant? If not, I'll add a new thread with a mea culpa to make it clear that this was my error and nothing to do with Amateur Allure.

Agreed. Once your collection reaches a certain size then the ability to search effectively becomes important. Besides carefully cataloguing the actual sites/scenes/DVDs/models I keep a Word document that lists everything so I have two ways to search. On top of that, I flag scenes I like by creating a shortcut to it and then when I plug a drive in I can search the term "shortcut" and up come all my favorite scenes on that drive.

I think the reason that I prefer street clothes like jeans or shorts is that it is relatively rare. But even if it wasn't so rare that would be my choice anyway.

A lot of the Open Life sites have been making these offers. For Hard X I suspect there is some necessity given the site is new, small and only add one scene per week. That's one scene, not one DVD.

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| Pros: |
- Large studio site
- Some great DVDs
- Some unique niches
- High production values
- Many older titles available
- Updates daily
- Supports download managers |
| Cons: |
- Not a true ‘network’
- Annoying download limit
- Wide variation in video quality
- Only started adding HD files recently
- Many DVDs have missing scenes |
| Bottom Line: |
New Sensations falls into the same trap that seems to snare so many studio websites: great porn let down by a just-okay site.
While they market themselves as a network they really aren’t in the true sense of that word. While there are 22 other ‘sites’ in the network those sites are just a repackaging of what is available on the main site. If you go to the main New Sensations site you’ll have access to everything. I don’t see this as a major negative issue because it isn’t that big a deal and it is common with studio sites. I only point it out so no one joins expecting several distinct sites. Think of the ‘sites’ as just a high-level filter.
The site is well laid out with search functions, drop-down menus and tags. I found that the site was easy to navigate and find what I was looking for.
The site currently has around 1100 DVDs with over 5100 scenes so it is hard to argue that you’re not getting a lot of porn for your money. The production values really make most of the DVDs stand out. The lighting, sets, editing and sound are all well done here, even on older DVDs. And regardless of the year the DVD was produced, you’ll find a who’s who of porn stars here.
All the scenes are available in streaming or for download. The downloads are available in Flash, MP4 and WMV. A major flaw with the site is that it has only been since 2013 that they started offering HD (1280 and 1920) so there are currently only about 200 DVDs in HD. To make matters worse, the site opted to use low bitrates so even the HD files don’t look as good as similar sites. When available I downloaded the 1280 files and they’re only 4000kb/s which means they can look blocky at times. Prior to 2013 the MP4 file available was for mobile devices so that leaves WMV as the best option. The older files come in at 640x480 and 2000kb/s. With specs like that they can only look poor by today’s standards, but I won’t complain because some of these are quite old and not available elsewhere. 1024x576 is also a fairly common file size though the bitrates here are low too at 2000.
The Catch-22 with the site is that while I may have been better off downloading the highest resolution available (I usually balance quality and file size) but that would make the download limit even more frustrating. If you are interested though, the best files are the MP4s at 1920x1080 but the bitrate is still low at 4000. They do look better though.
And speaking of download limits, there is one here. A problem with it is that they have created one that is theoretically not that bad but set it up in a way that functions in an annoying way. A member is only allowed to download 6GB of data in an hour and when you exceed that your access is cut off for an hour. Sure, the site can argue that they still give you access to 144GB per day, but given that they offer HD and if you have a fast internet connection you can find yourself cut off after not too long. I should also advise that the message that comes up is incorrect: it states you’re cut off for 12 hours, but it is only one hour. I confirmed that via email. To add to the frustration, you can’t even view the site while you’re in exile. (This applies to a full membership; it may be the full 12 hour lock-out for trial memberships.)
Many of the DVDs are incomplete, which seems really odd for a studio site. The reason I can say this with some authority is that there are many DVDs that only have one or two scenes available, where the store version would have more than that.
The site supports download managers (though they cite these are a reason for imposing a limit).
While the studio covers the typical porn niches, they do have one that is fairly unusual and likely somewhat controversial: incest porn. Don’t shoot the messenger: I’m only pointing out that it exists here. The scenarios in these videos use a stepdaughter/stepfather, stepson/stepmother or step-sibling tryst as the basis for the scene. While I would in no way count myself as a fan of this genre I did find myself drawn to them because the scene set-up was really well done with a sexual tension building for the first few minutes. I’m a big fan of porn scene set-ups and like when there is a sexual tension created, and these scenes do it well. Besides, it is just fantasy and I’m not going to say no to scenes featuring some of my favorite stars.
I’m really on the fence about recommending this site. Like so many other sites they have some great porn on offer but drop the ball in how it gets offered. The download limit is frustrating but is obviously just a short-term frustration while the low bitrates (and resulting lower quality videos) is something that will mar your viewing for years to come. If the site has some stuff you really want then I would recommend it even with the limitations, but if you’re just looking for a site to join you may want to keep looking. |

I rename as needed (to fit my naming structure) and then organize as I catalogue stuff. Then it gets backed up. I have a fairly regimented and meticulous process. You could say that I'm anal about my porn...

Subtitles are rare, and to be honest I don't think they're used much at all. In a lot of cases the models do speak some English and for those that don't there is an unseen female translator in the room. At least until Pierre and the model start speaking the universal language of love...

You are lucky about one thing - at least when you clicked the join page you found out that it lacked encryption. I had an email about a new site called XXX Pawn a few weeks back that looked interesting so I clicked the join button to see what the price was. What I didn't know was that it was a Bang Bros site and they had retained my credit card information so I didn't get any price information - I was signed up. At $20 for a site with six or seven scenes. And true to Bang Bros form with all of their add-on sites, cancelling was not easy. Since Haze Her and Dancing Bear are Bang Bros sites, if you join make sure to start the cancellation process well in advance of a rebill because you may need that time to get the membership cancelled.
Bang Bros has some great porn but the have the business ethics of the mob.

I prefer smaller rather than larger but I selected B rather than A. I'm not opposed to A though. Shape and firmness are really the deciding factors for me.

Graymane, I say this to you as a former Roman Catholic and one who studied to be a priest. The Catholic Church has the doctrine of Purgatory where an otherwise holy person gets sent to be purified before being allowed into Heaven. For the purposes of humor only, I'll deem that you may need a little while in Purgatory and I wonder if your punishment is having to watch anal sex for a few years before being allowed to enter the fullness of Heaven? If it is, please, please, please tell them that I too hated anal sex. And I hated Taylor Rain and Tanner Mayes especially. And the most fitting punishment for me would be a requirement to watch these women have anal sex.
Trust me, when we meet in Heaven, I'll buy you a drink!

I'm old-fashioned, but my primary computer is a desktop. If I wasn't such a porn user that would be different, but it allows a hard connection to the internet and has more horsepower for the money than any other option. I do have other options, but by far my PC is the primary computer I use.

Great story sir!
It reminds me of a joke I only partially remember so I won't dwell on it, but the gist of it is that a man dies and goes into the great beyond where things are better beyond all imagining. It's like a harem of beautiful women who look after all his sexual needs and submit to every depraved wish. He finally asks someone what he had done to earn such a high place in heaven. The reply was 'Heaven? You're not in Heaven! This is hell for all these women who did bad things on earth!"

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Sorry to answer your question with another question, but is it really possible to have too much porn featuring petite and gorgeous EE and Russian women doing anal? ;-)
Two of the bonus sites are pretty good. The biggest site on the network in First Anal Quest and that's pretty much self-explanatory. It has the same pros and cons of Double View Casting and it is fairly large too with 259 scenes available. (But it doesn't have the double-view camera gimmick.)
I also liked Fuck n Drive though it is fairly small. I like the whole cars-and-girls thing (I think it comes from my love of public sex porn). There are 38 scenes with a mix of solo, girl-girl and boy-girl. There is some anal here but not much. Since this is a favorite niche of mine I'm planning a full review in case anyone else shares my interest in it.
There's also Jizz on Teens. That site has 24 scenes and I can't really say anything else about it because I didn't download from it. For one thing all the scenes are b/g/g and I really prefer b/g. Also, none of the model's names are listed and that's something that bugs me.
The final site in the network is Wanted GFs. This is the weakest site on the network. It's touted as an amateur site and seems to have a lot more pictures than videos. And many of the photo sets I saw were of the American porn star Alyssa Hall. I quite like Ms. Hall, but she's no amateur girlfriend! The pic sets are available as zips.
Billing was through Epoch so I had no problems getting the membership or cancelling it.
I hope this helps.

By selecting other, I mean that "all of the above" apply in some way, and in different combinations at different times.
