I'm not exactly tech savvy, but I find what usually works for me is clearing my history and cache and then go back in through TBP / PU.

Thanks for this great information. I didn't know all of this detail. Also, thanks for mentioning that site. I looked at the tour pages and it looks interesting. As with many of the Kink sites I'm surprised to see so many non-fetish, A-list models there.

For me it's a 50/50 split between no auto login and a captcha.

Thanks for your comments, TheSquirrel. I appreciate that you took the time to write such a detailed response.
One of the biggest reasons I watch porn is to see the female model's pleasurable reactions to what's going on. I'm not so naïve as to think that most or even many models experience pleasure, but I'm sure that some do. One advantage to the post-scene interviews here and on other Kink sites is that the models are usually asked to describe what they liked best about the scene. It's a bit of a quirk I have but I like to go back and watch that now knowing that the woman is enjoying herself. Kink.com, maybe more than most porn, is in the business of selling fantasy. Yes, one could criticize me as having the fantasy to r@pe women, but that isn't the case. I first got hooked on BDSM several years ago through another Kink site and even though it pushed my limits I found it compelling to watch because the women were pretty adamant that they enjoyed what happened. And while I have nothing to base this on, I think it's a safe assumption that if Kink ever ignored a model's use of the safe word then that would spread and Kink would be done. Besides, Kink comes out of the lively and established San Francisco BDSM culture. I suspect that they'd be run out of town if they were abusing women.
And although I mentioned this before, I really do think that the fact that Kink attracts so many A-list models has to say something about Kink and about how they operate. I know the porn business isn't like it was even ten years ago, but an A-list model must still have many more options other than doing BDSM work if she didn't want to do it. I'm sure some A-list models were talked into anal using money. Like Lexi Belle and the upcoming Maddy O'Reilly anal scene (and both Lexi and Maddy, industry stars, have worked for Kink), but I highly doubt that a model could be talked into a shoot for this site with just money. There would have to be some interest, and a lot of trust in the staff and male talent. I simply can't accept that model like Chastity Lynn, for example, would agree to work for Kink even at double the going rate if she was truly afraid or unwilling to do it. She could shoot two 'heartcore' scenes in a day and make the same money.
Anyway, thanks for your comments. I knew this would be a controversial review of a site that even many PU members wouldn't like but since the purpose of this site is sharing information and I've taken a lot of benefit from that information over the past years, I'm compelled to give back.

Thanks for the comments, graymane. I wrote a reply to parsnip who also left a comment about the extreme nature of these scenes. In that I address some of your concerns.

I realized that there would be some negative feedback with this review given the nature of the site. I've been a member of other Kink sites in the past and I'll admit that these scenes push my limits.
I don't agree with you that the interviews are insignificant. Both the pre- and post-scene interviews are lengthy, detailed and seem genuine and I suspect that a model would have a hard time hiding her displeasure if those were her true feelings. I've also read some independent accounts of Kink and they seem to be held in high regard by most in the industry. It's also worth noting that many of the producers (and I think that's the case here) are female.
Another factor to consider is that Kink is well known so any A-list model would know what she was getting into. Add to that the fact that several A-list models work repeatedly for Kink. Amy Brooke, Amber Rayne and Chastity Lynn all have multiple scenes. These women can get work with any studio so it makes sense that they're okay with Kink if they continue to work with them. I agree that there is an argument to be made that Kink sweetens the deal by paying more, and that's probably true. But consider that if an A-list model had no interest in working with Kink even if they paid double, she could find two more mainstream scenes which would probably still be easier.
Kink also features fetish models who appear in a lot of BDSM material and who do a lot of work for Kink. Most of these models are every bit as attractive as an A-lister so there has to be a reason why those models don't go to mainstream porn. They could make the same money (though may have to shoot more, but easier scenes) but they choose to shoot for Kink over and over. That has to say something, especially when those models are interviewed and continually refer to past shoots as enjoyable.
While this is rough sex, and I think the r@pe thing is too far over the top, it isn't anything like what Max Hardcore or JM Productions used to shoot. In those shoots there was, it seems, a genuine attempt to degrade the model. (Consider that JM Productions actually released a commercial video of Tanner Mayes having a meltdown on the set over her missing cell phone. Jim Powers egged her on the whole time knowing he would be able to exploit her.)
I'll admit that I'm basing most of my opinions on this and other Kink sites on the interviews. But those interviews don't look scripted. The post-scene interview is shot immediately after the scene and the model would have a hard time hiding any discomfort. The models all report that they enjoyed the scene.
I respect your opinion, but given the evidence, coupled with edits (which are likely shooting breaks), I don't agree with your take that this is "violence, brutality and shattering pain." Kink has a good reputation in the business and I think it's more likely that this is part of the atmosphere that the director wants to create.

I look at a face first, after that a nice bum and small yet pert breasts seals the deal.

Thanks for the clarifications. I'm not a big fan of masturbation videos but I can understand that the ones here might get a bit boring.
And re the download manager issue, I'd normally only queue up 10 or 20 videos at the same time and I have a fast connection so I didn't experience any timeouts. They can be frustrating though. One group of sites I join a lot used to have a timeout of less than 5 minutes. Thankfully they did fix that.

Thanks for the reply Cybertoad. That seals the deal for me: with resolutions that low in 2014 I won't be back.

I've been a member here several times and used both Free Download Manager and Internet Download Manager with no problems. I hope the site hasn't changed this. Have you tried contacting the site?
I'm the complete opposite of you in that I like the public stuff and avoid the masturbation parts. I normally don't like it when a site breaks a scene into parts but with this site it works because a member can download what they want and leave what they don't.
One thing I'm confused about with your comment is that there are only some masturbation videos. My recollection is that there was masturbation in every video. I was a member there are recently as five months ago and recall that every video started with some outdoor video (with varying amounts of public nudity) and then moved indoors for masturbation. Is it possible that you're only watching the first videos with the public stuff and not going to the following videos with the masturbation?
I hope you get the download manager thing sorted out.

Cybertoad's Review
Welcome back cybertoad.
I used to subscribe to VB at least twice a year and usually three times a year but haven't for a while and likely won't again. For me the problem is file resolution. Can you advise if they still upload four videos per day at fairly low resolution and then one "HD" and medium resolution? TBP reports the resolution as 720x576 for the majority of the videos, which is pretty low by today's standards. Is that still the normal resolution?
Another thing that bugs me now is how there are no tour options. Up until a year or so ago you could see everything they had but now, as you know, there is no tour at all.
VB used to be one of the best sites on the internet. How the mighty have fallen!

Hearing stuff like this bugs me, because I've faced it too. You'd think that in an industry being battered by piracy that companies would step in quickly to assist a paying member. It seems more companies have bad customer service than companies with good customer service.
But sadly, this isn't just in the internet porn world.

What bugs me most is when these tactics are used by porn companies that offer great porn. Why fuck over your customers and risk having them not come back? When you have a great product and people willing to pay for it why not NOT fuck them over? Like you, I'm not asking for special treatment, just fair treatment.

While we may disagree on facials (and I don't want them for every glamour scene), we certainly agree on kissing and men going down on ladies. I was watching a recently uploaded Maddy O'Reilly scene from EroticaX a couple of nights ago and the male talent goes down on Maddy and two things struck me: 1) how rare it is for me to see that these days, and 2) how incredibly hot it is to see (when shot right). I was also struck with the though that this would be a great job for a fella!

I hope this a temporary problem. I've been a member here several times (and at a sister site, The Ass Factory) and I never experienced any problems at all. My plan has always been to rejoin again so if you find this gets resolved please post an update.
And welcome to PornUsers. I think you'll find this a great site for swapping information with people who share your interests.

Great review pat. Like you, I try not to let my subjective opinions cloud an objective review. I may not like the porn on offer, but if the scenes are good, the site is well laid out and the downloads are simple then the site still deserves to be credited for that. Where we differ on this site is that I really liked the scenes here. I haven't rejoined yet, but I will.
(And I guess we also disagree that facials have no place in glamour porn. I still think they do but agree that a facial doesn't need to be the only ending to a scene.)

One issue I have with the European casting sites is that so much of the setup involves the interaction between the model and the agent. If it isn't in English I find that detracts from the scene a lot. Not enough to avoid the site though, so I will have a look. Thanks for the tip.

Hmmm... I may have misunderstood the question. I browse through older threads and search things if I'm looking for information if that's what's meant, but I wasn't aware there was a specific archives function.

I agree. For a while I downloaded 1920x1080 when available but I came to the realization that for most of my viewing getting 1280x720 made more sense and takes up a lot less room. But I refuse to join sites now that only have poor resolution, which means that I won't join a lot of sites with mostly older material, and after having been a regular customer of Videobox over the past seven or eight years I won't be going back to them either. Of course, with VB, the crappy resolution is just one of many problems there now.

Having to call someone to cancel is a deal-breaker for me. I wouldn't join this site for that reason alone. Thanks for the warning.

Probably the biggest advantage to coming to TBP / PU for me is that it is now rare that I make a mistake and join a crappy site or feel cheated. The information here and at TBP at least lets me know what I'm getting. One thing I always look at now is the scene resolution. There are several sites I'd like to join but won't because the file resolution is too low.

+1 for what Marcus said. I have no concerns getting a site membership to a site that isn't updating. I obviously won't rejoin that site though.
