She's done a fair bit of anal. I'd check her filmography at IAFD and cross-reference that with DVD sites like Videobox and Videosz. That's likely to give you a lot. Sinnistar has several anal scenes with Hailey too. If I can think of more I'll let you know.
If you're into more 'extreme' stuff generally, she also did a scene for two JM Productions series, American Bukkake and American Gokkun. I'm likely in the minority here, but her look seemed (before the addition of a lot of ink) to be innocent so it seems different to see her in stuff like that.
I'm not sure where else your interests lie, but she has some public nudity at Nude in L.A. I have some issues with the artistic elements of the site, but as a fan of Hailey and a fan of public nudity I don't regret my membership there.

I don't download photos much, but when I have a membership that promotes photos and I have a chance to get some sets of favourite models I will defintiely download. And if that's the case, then zips are very important.

Yeah, I heard those stories about her later days in the business. She always seemed like a model who had here head screwed on pretty straight. Some girls seem flaky right from the beginning and Micah wasn't like that.

Interesting... I wouldn't have pegged Marie as a BDSM model. But I've had other surprises like that too. Seeing Micah Moore in some BDSM was a bit of treat too.

You're probably right. Most of her stuff is fairly tame and she doesn't do anal either. I was really surprised to see her in a scene on Device Bondage.

I have one good friend who's into porn as much as I am. He's been a lurker here for some time and I'm always at him to join in a bit more. Our porn tastes are quite different though, so we don't share any specific interests. It makes for some interesting discussions.

Thanks for the comment. I suspect the lack of sex is the choice of the specific director. Other Kink sites have a lot more of it. I agree with you though - more sex would be better.

Pros: |
- 650+ videos
- Many big name stars appear
- Updates approximately every four days with the addition of a new scene
- Good variation in age, body type, tattoos/ no tattoos
- Variety of ways to download and view the videos
- Streaming is available
- Mp4 in two resolutions
- WMV in two resolutions
- Photos are available – usually broken down into ‘sets’ with set zips being offered
- Supports download managers with no obvious time-outs |
Cons: |
- Probably a bit extreme for many
- Some may not like the price |
Bottom Line: |
Full disclosure: I think Kink.com is likely the best online porn company in existence, but I’ll do my best to stay objective…
Obviously with any website if you don’t have an interest in the material being offered then you’re likely not going to like it. That is especially true for a site like this where the material offered is definitely not mainstream porn. If you don’t like extreme BDSM then you definitely won’t like this site, but I trust that you can still appreciate the effort that Kink puts into the scenes.
Device bondage is just that: the scenes all involve a female submissive being put into bondage by using various devices rather than more traditional ropes. Kink has amassed quite an impressive collection of implements to immobilize the models. Once immobilized the model is subjected to some further torment and in most cases there are forced orgasms. Actual sex does occur, but not in every shoot. Many of the Doms are females.
This may or may not be new since I last looked at this site, but I find that there are more big-name porn stars here. Amber Rayne appears to have shot a bunch of scenes in the past while and there are other stars that I wouldn’t expect to see on an extreme BDSM site. Examples of this are Marie McCray, Sensi Pearl and Kaylee Hilton.
The scenes tend to follow a set formula: the scene begins with an interview where the viewers can see that this is 100% consensual. Then the scene is broken down into three segments so the girl isn’t in one device for the entire scene. This adds a lot of variety and keeps the scenes from becoming dull. The interviews have been polarizing here at PU and Kink uses them on all their sites. I suspect that they do this more to appease the puritans and provide some measure of legal protection, but the frequent criticism of them is that including them at the first of the video can kill the sinister mood. I tend to agree with that and would prefer the interviews to be at the end or even as a separate file. But since they’re easily skipped it isn’t that big a deal.
As of this writing there are more than 650 scenes and updates are posted approximately every four days with one scene being added each time.
This could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how you view it, but the models on the site don’t all look alike. There is a good mix of stars and lesser-knowns, ages range from 18+ to over 40. There are models with lots of tattoos and models without tattoos. The site seems to want to appeal to as broad an audience as possible.
Another ‘new’ element (which I may just have not noticed before) resolves one of the few complaints I’ve had about this site. I wish that they’d include more behind-the-scenes material and show the model being put into the devices rather than just start with the model already restrained. The site has posted a few ‘live’ shoots where the cameras are left rolling as the model is put into the devices and the production staff communicates with members watching the show live. There aren’t many of these live shoots, but it does give a glimpse into the inner workings of the site and I hope that the site continues to add them.
Being a Kink site, the technical bits are all up to or better than industry standards. Each scene has its own page and you can either stream or download the video. Downloads are available in either WMV or Mp4 format. Two resolutions are available for both formats. The highest resolution for both comes in at 1280x720. The bitrates are a bit different between the formats but both are approximately 7000kb/s. Both play at 30fps.
The site allows download managers and I didn’t experience any of the links timing out. Download speeds are a bit faster than I’m used to at other sites.
Perhaps the one thing that many prospective members might take issue with is the price. I agree that price is important, but price has to be taken in context too. I think that the price, when weighed against the value of the site, is very fair: this isn’t cookie-cutter porn. This is all exclusive, with mostly top-name models, in a dungeon-like building and excellent production values. Kink has some of the highest production values of any porn company and this stuff can’t be cheap to make. If price is an issue, be sure to sign up for emails from them because they occasionally offer membership deals. Also, once you’re a member of one Kink site you get discounts on the other sites. An element to the value debate is that Kink isn’t a ‘network.’ Each specific site requires a separate membership. Given the high production values and exceptionally high quality of the scenes on all of the sites, I don’t think this detracts from the value.
Device Bondage continues to do almost everything very well, and since I was last a member there have even been a few improvements. Even at full price the site is a great value if you like what’s offered. |

I agree with you that this is frustrating. I'm a regular member at their sites and this is annoying, but the porn is so good I just deal with it. I think that if you don't know the limits and get a membership you're more likely to be angry than if you go in knowing that there is this issue. Don't give up on them! We just have to work a bit harder to get what we want from these sites.

I've tried mp4s and I agree with you on their quality. My beef with that format is that I really don't like the players. I've tried Quicktime and VLC and I don't like either of those. But with wmv HD getting more rare, I suspect I'll have to jump ship soon...

I definitely agree - downloading the HD isn't any realy advantage over the next lower resolution. I don't have any technical knowledge to offer a suggestion as to why, but it does seem odd that some sites have lower resolutions that look better than higher resolution files on another site.

Thanks! I appreciate the time you took to look. Hailey is no stranger to anal but that doesn't mean the guy who put the site together put any up. I'll still consider it, even without anal.

I'm not sure if this will work, but if you've visited the site before at any time you'd likely still have that cookie in your computer which may prevent getting the better offer. It's worth clearing your cookies and giving that a try. I hope that works for you.

Thanks for this review. Hailey Young has been a big favourite of mine for a long time and I've always wondered about her site. I think that I might have to take a look.
I suspect that, as you suggest, nothing new has been added recently because Hailey is no longer "lightly tattooed" as you note. She's added some serious ink recently. I know that many guys either like that or are indifferent, and I know it is 100% her choice, but she's so perfect without tattoos I wished she'd have not done that.
As an aside, I saw her do a brief walk-on in a porn scene last year. I'm pretty sure the scene is on the Teens at Work site on the Mofos Network. Anyway, all she does is walk in to a fast food place and order something from the girl who is the star of the scene. But seeing Hailey in tight jeans was spectacular. I can't remember who the star of the scene was, but I remember Hailey...
One question you may be able to answer for me: is there any or much anal on the site?
Thanks!

It really isn't my kind of network - or so I thought. I joined for one of the niche sites (Wife Writing) and was really impressed with the rest of the network. I'd recommend joining at least once.

Pros: |
- Large network
- 21 sites (including a relatively new BTS site)
- All interracial
- Some unusual niches
- Older scenes are being remastered
- Easy to use network
- Supports download managers (IDM)
- Easy access to download and viewing options
- Streaming is available |
Cons: |
- Not all sites are updating
- Older remastered scenes may be dated and posted as a new update
- No effective search function
- No (that I could find) high-res or HD scenes
- More expensive than comparable sites |
Bottom Line: |
Dog Fart Network (DFN) isn’t a network that I’d normally have joined, but I’m glad I did. I joined specifically to access one of their unique sites but I found many of the other sites quite good too.
DFN has 21 sites that cover a wide range of niches. The overall theme that runs through the network is interracial sex, specifically black men with white women. One site does feature white men and black women. The sites range from fairly standard porn, straight b/g, b/b/g, anal, etc., legal teen oriented sites, cougar sites, through sites that feature glory holes, and a couple of sites with some unique themes – Wife Writing and The Minion. Both of these are unique sites.
The network is simple in layout and operation: the homepage shows all 21 sites. You enter each site through that link and all the sites share the same simple layout: five scenes are listed per page and there is easy access to all the pages. One thing I particularly like about the sites is that on each page, beneath a large thumbnail of each scene, all the viewing and downloading options are available. So many other sites require the users to click through several pages before getting to the download or viewing links; DFN’s choice to keep it simple is appreciated.
Speaking of the downloading and viewing options, DFN has more than most other sites. While only two formats are offered (WMV and MP4) those are usually offered in more than one size. I download WMVs and those are offered in two ‘sizes’ – both come in at 640x480 with the only difference being that the larger ones are 4500kb/s versus the smaller ones at 1500kb/s. Both play at 30fps. Some of the older videos are a lower resolution. Oddly, for 2012, the site still allows users to download the videos in segments. While I’m sure that few people still need to do this, I’m sure that those who do appreciate this option.
While the resolutions are somewhat below standards, they still look crisp.
Streaming is also available in two resolutions that appear to be similar to the WMV downloads.
Speaking of older videos, DFN appears to be moving to remaster a lot of their older scenes. This is both good and bad, depending on how you look at it. The ‘bad’ is that they seem to use the remastered videos as updates rather than posting new videos as often. I don’t hold the opinion that this is necessarily bad because it gives access to fairly decent quality videos of stars from the past decade. I consider that to be good.
The site also offers photos, and like the videos there are several options. Interestingly, the options are for good resolution photos (1067x1600) taken during the video shoot, lower resolution screencaps and these things they call ‘panels’ which are photos that contain four smaller photos. The higher resolution photos are available as zips but the other two sets are singles only.
The site supports download managers. I use Internet Download Manager and had no problem with links dying on me over a period of over an hour.
One glaring problem with the network is the lack of an effective search function or the use of tags. There is a search function, but it has serious flaws. It allows you to search for a word or words in the title or description of the scene but that can be a rather blunt tool. For example, I searched the term “anal” and got a number of hits but many of the scenes had no anal sex in them. The site producers frequently refer to a woman’s “birth canal” in the scene descriptions and that phrase was captured in a search for anal scenes. This could be solved by a smarter search engine, but it would probably be better solved by tagging scenes with niches.
Any potential member is obviously going to make their own decision on value, but in DFN’s case some people may jump to a conclusion based solely on price. The issue is that DFN charges $35 per month, which is more than most comparable sites. Is it worth $35? My opinion is that it is. I think we’ve become accustomed to lower prices but the market has changed and we all may need to rethink the value equation. In this case, you get access to over a thousand exclusive scenes with decent production values and fast downloads (with no obvious limits, I might add). I think that’s good value. (As an aside, I’m not sure where the upper limit on pricing is, but I note that last week TBP posted a review of a BDSM site, Infernal Restraints, that commands $65 per month. I’m a BDSM fan, but that seems a bit steep.)
One potential concern that has been expressed before is that several of the sites do not appear to be actively updating with new material. I’m fine with this as long as the network is updating and the remastering continues.
The bottom line is that I certainly recommend DFN. Its top-quality porn, and specifically interracial porn, with top porn stars that’s well produced and easy to access at a fair price. |

I'm not normally a libertarian, but in this case I'll let the market decide. If there is a niche left unfilled, then someone will likely step up to exploit it. I suspect in some cases the limits are as much cultural and market driven. I suspect it is a much bigger deal for a young woman coming from a repressive cultural background to make the decision to enter porn.

I'll confess to being into the same hardcore that you say you don't like. But having said that, X-Art is an amazing site that I'll return to many times. They are definitely on my 'repeat' list. I have a porn buddy who like things a little more tame then I do, and he likes fuller-framed women whereas I prefer the more petite models like those on X-Art. When I showed him a bit his reaction was "this is amazing porn!' I hope that enthusiasm transferred to another membership to the site. They deserve it.
BTW - tonight must be the night for great lines here at PU. "...men don't look like escaped convicts..." that's great! And true, too.

Excellent review! "...hairy, hirsute women..." that gave me a good laugh!
I like some of Rodney's stuff, but very little of it. One title I do have is a video called "Rodney's Blastrovan 2" which has scenes with Haley Paige and Kylie Rochelle. Rodney shoots them POV style and plays himself as a pervert trying to get get Haley to pose in a wet t-shirt for a fake cable show and in the scene with Kylie his schtick is asking her to model shoes. The girls play their roles well and the scenes are hot. The scenes are shot in the back of a Dodge minivan, which had to be somewhat risky back when they were shot. I bought other Rodney titles based on the strength of that one and was disappointed. 'Hairy, hirsute women' aren't my thing.
Another thing about Rodney that I like is that in the scenes I've seen him in he realizes that he's not the reason guys are watching the video. Too many younger and newer guys seem to forget that.
