Loki's Review
"ATK Hairy was once the preeminent site for people looking to see models with unshaven pussies." Really??? I had no idea there was such a thing. :-) I do have to say I don't miss the 1970s and early 80s before anyone trimmed at all. I don't miss that at all. I don't need all shaven, all the time, but some attention to detail is nice.
Interesting review. Not my cup of tea, but I was glad to read it.

Thanks for the advice. My thought was to start with Petites because, well, that's where my interests lie. You've settled the matter. When the time comes to join, I'll start there.

That's really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to provide such a detailed response. I was hoping that the answer was that the DVDs are part of the site, but at least I now know that they aren't.
If you had to recommend one of the ATK sites, which would it be?
And thanks for the tip on the Kick Ass Pass site. I'll defineitely have a look at that.

Interesting review, exotics. I liked how you differentiated between a score for previous members and one for first-timers. I've never had a membership to any of the ATK sites but they've always been on my list of possibles.
You may be able to answer a question though... The studio Kick Ass Pictures has a series of DVD releases that seem to be affilaited with ATK. The Kick Ass DVDs seem to feature a lot of mainstream U.S. pornstars where the sites seem to have models who are unknown to me. Do you see any evidence that any of the KAP scenes are on ATK sites? And are there mainstream porn models on the ATK sites? I guess that's actually two questions... I've looked through several of the ATK sites and I find the tour pages don't help with these questions. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm always on the lookout for sites that feature public nudity so I read your review with a lot of interest. Unfortunately though, the site features a lot of models with naturally large breasts or surgically enhanced large breasts so I'd probably not join. I guess I can't win them all!

This is a bit late on our conversation about Adult Time, but I discovered yesterday that one on the Gamma memberships I have does give me AT access. It's a membership to Fantasy Massage.

Thanks for pointing that out. The bad news for me is that I bought several Gamma memberships on the Black Friday sale. It appears I may have wasted some money!

12-21-18 06:50am (Update History)
Reason: Added information on updates.
|
| Pros: |
- Innovative porn
- Best-in-class production values
- Only top models
- 67 DVDs / 300 scenes
- Part of the Gamma family of sites
- Fast speeds
- TBP discount |
| Cons: |
- Doesn’t appear to be updating |
| Bottom Line: |
(Full disclosure – I bought a membership here when TBP was offering a $5 subscription on Black Friday. The site had been on my radar for a while and the discount was too good to pass up. The only downside to the $5 membership is that it is streaming only so I can’t provide much information on downloads. But the site is also part of the large group from Gamma Entertainment so I can make some assumptions based on the standards on the other Gamma sites.)
The scenes on this site are hard to categorize because they don’t fit well into any one niche. The site isn’t like Sweet Sinner where all of the scenes are couples-oriented and aim to softer sex and it isn’t like Evil Angel where all the scenes have a harder edge to them. Perhaps the site’s tagline, “Twisted Psychological Fantasies,” best describes what’s on offer here. B Skow does a great job of blending different porn forms together to come up with something innovative and worth watching. Many of the DVDs have a common plot in all the scenes even though the scenes themselves can be fairly hard-edged.
The sex runs the spectrum too. You’ll find B/G, B/G/G, B/B/G, groups, lesbians and anal available. (As an aside, I particularly liked one innovate series called “Ass vs. Pussy” where the DVD features ‘only’ two models. Each model does one vaginal and one anal scene and then the fifth scene brings them together. I really like that concept.)
The scenes are among the best shot and edited that I’ve seen in a while. Everything about the scenes is professional. The camera work, in particular, deserves some mention. Whether it’s the director, B Skow, or the camera operator, that work is exceptionally well done. But camera work isn’t the only technical element done well. Even someone like me who has collected porn for three decades can still be impressed.
The models here are only the top ones in the industry. This isn’t a site for newbies or amateurs. Many of the biggest names in porn have multiple scenes here and many of them are able to show some decent acting skills. Models like Casey Calvert and Penny Pax who, in my opinion, have some great acting skills, are able to show those off here.
The site currently has 67 DVDs with 300 scenes in them. One downside to the site is that it hasn’t added a scene since June 2018 and they ‘Upcoming’ page is empty. But given the standard TBP discount price of $15 USD that’s still a great deal for what the site offers even if it never adds another scene.
The site itself is well laid out and follows the same basic layout of other Gamma-owned sites. If you’ve had a membership at Evil Angel or other Gamma DVD-based sites then you’ll immediately recognize how the site is laid out. Finding specific niches and models is easy.
Because the discounted membership I bought only allowed streaming I can’t comment specifically on downloads. But since the site is part of the Gamma network I have no reason to believe that this site wouldn’t use the same model of offering multiple resolutions. Other Gamma sites have downloads that range from 160p to 1080p. Oddly, the streaming for this site is lower resolution than is available at some other Gamma sites I’m used to – it ranges from 160p to 540p with 240p, 360p and 480p in the middle. But having streams capped at 540p may be part of the heavy discount I received.
The site offers pictures with each scene but I wasn’t able to download them in a zipped file. But, again, that may be a limit imposed only on the $5 membership I have.
As with other Gamma sites, I found the streaming speeds to be up to or better than what I see on other sites. I have no reason to think that the download speeds would be any different from the other Gamma sites I’m familiar with, which is to say that they are fast.
The bottom line? Even with no new updates in a while and none on the immediate horizon this site is well worth checking out for a wide range of porn buyers. It’s also a great value with the $15 TBP price offer. Others may not agree with me, but I’ve collected porn long enough that my attitude has changed; I’ll take high quality porn like this any time over sites with thousands of low quality scenes available.
UPDATE - My monthly membership is almost expired and I've cancelled my membership. There were no updates during the month I had an active membership. It would seem this site is now dormant. |

To be honest, I'm fine with a two-tiered membership - as long as they are upfront about it. It isn't that I need to pay a bit more to get downloads, I just want to know that going in.
BTW - I had this happen with a couple of Gamma sites too. Evil Angel and XEmpire. I joined each with a deal too good to refuse ($5 I think) but didn't realize that it was streaming only until after I joined. There was an option to upgrade there too. But I have to admit that if I looked closely enough I may have been able to find out that it was streaming only. But maybe not. I can't even say this is a case of 'buyer beware' if the buyer is subject to deceptive practices.
You'd think that with so much piracy in the porn business that sites would treat paying customers better.

I had a similar issue with two other Mindgeek sites over Christmas. I took advantage of a TBP discount and nothing in the join pages indicated that I'd have to pay an additional $15 to get downloads. This is definitely deceptive.
I don't download UHD files so I can't comment on that.

Welcome to the site. I really like it when members choose obscure usernames intended to give a chuckle.
Maybe you should conclude all your reviews with "Kick my ass!"

I think you're being a little unfair to yourself, sir. As much as we all try to be objective when writing reviews the reality is that whether you like a site is usually a subjective decision - as long as the site isn't a fraud, of course. And in that light, the more reviews the better. Many will find your information more useful when they're trying to determine whether what Babes Network offers is to their liking. Any ay you look at it, people are far more likely to forgive a slow download speed or a messy site design if they like the porn rather than the other way around. A well-designed and run site that offers nothing you like is of no value to anyone.
Keep up the excellent work. Have a great Christmas too.

| Pros: |
- Large site with 460+ videos available
- Ability to sort videos
- Updates daily with one scene per day being added
- Videos available in streaming and downloads
- Videos available in multiple resolutions
- Photos available (singles and zips)
- Beautiful models
- Good mix of American and European models
- TBP/PU discount |
| Cons: |
- Some ads and upsells
- Photo resolutions seems a bit low
- Only one video type (MP4)
- No anal (which many will consider a plus) |
| Bottom Line: |
This review isnt technically a review of Babes network but is of the identical clone, Babes.com. I really cant imagine why a company would have two identical sites, but they do.
This site is another in the artcore niche with hardcore porn done with a softer edge. If youre looking for slapping, throat fucking and lots of anal pounding, then youll want to look elsewhere. There is none of that here.
What you will find here are lots of scenes with beautiful women in solo, lesbian and b/g scenes. The site has offers the ability to sort by scene type, which is an excellent feature for getting to what you prefer. My preference is for b/g, so selecting for couples removes the solo and lesbian from what I can see. The hardcore b/g scenes all follow a familiar format with kissing, foreplay (for both partners), vaginal sex and the money shot. As is the norm with these kinds of sites, the scene lengths are approximately 20 minutes each, in keeping with the natural feel that the site is trying to create. The production values are high with good lighting and editing in the scenes. The lesbian and solo scenes offer what youd expect with scenes in those niches.
The models are a mix of American and Europeans. Some are well-known porn stars while others are lesser known. They are all relatively young (18-25) and most are petite. One advantage to sites like this that have more sensual scenes and also offer solo and lesbian is that they seem to attract newer models who may only do solo or g/g for now. Its a great opportunity to see some new models (like Emily Grey. Please, please, please, Ms. Grey, make the leap to hardcore!)
The site is fairly large with 189 couples videos, 95 lesbian videos and 179 solo girl videos available. The videos are all available as streaming or downloads. Streaming is available as RTMP or HTTP (I have no idea what that means) in 720, 480 or 320 resolutions. Downloads are available in 1080, 720, 480 and mobile resolutions. MP4 is the only file type offered. I found the 720p videos to be a good compromise between video quality and file size. The 720p videos come in at 1280x720, 4000kb/s and 29fps. Subjectively, they look great with no pixilation that some sites still have at higher resolutions.
The site supports download managers and I had no problems with the links timing out. The download speeds were what I get with other sites so they dont try to limit speeds, even at peak times. Updates are made daily with one scene per day being added.
The site offers lots of photos too. Currently there are 122 couples photosets, 95 lesbian and 179 solo sets. The photos are available as either zips or singles. The few photosets I downloaded all had a little over 100 photos. Photo resolutions seem a bit low at 1663x2494.
There are no obvious negatives to the site. There are ads and upsells, but those happen at other sites too and they arent obtrusive or distracting. I did find it a bit annoying that when sorting scenes you had the option to see what scenes are available on other company sites like Brazzers, Mofos and Twistys. I think the trade-off is that if you really like a model it gives you access to trailers and you may want to join another site if you like what you see.
The bottom line is that this is an excellent site with some great sensual porn available. The models are beautiful and the sex is hot. At the discounted price available through TBP/PU this site is a great value if youre looking for porn with a softer edge. |

Great review graymane. I must have received the same email offer that you did because, like you, I joined this site not realizing that it is a clone of Babes Network. I emailed Khan and he pointed me to a forum post where he explained that for unknown reasons Manwin doesn't want Babes.com listed.
I liked the site a lot and will likely score it higher than you did when I post a review. I also didn't have the same username/password issue that you mentioned. I got to pick my own.

I don't have a DL cap - yet. But I could at least tolerate one that allowed me to download as much as I wanted outside peak hours. That actually makes some sense.

Great review, and based in large part on it I'm adding this to my list of favourites and will probably join soon. Like you, this isn't exactly my usual kind of site, but for a different reason. I prefer harder porn than this, but after taking a membership to X-Art a while ago I realized that I really did like this softer stuff too. And I'm glad to hear that I'll recognize a lot of the models!
I hope the download manager issue was temporary. I like a lot of Manwin sites and I sure hope they don't start blocking managers on other sites.

!!!!! What??? Net Video Girls and Casting Couch HD are gone from the network here? That's terrible news and I fully agree with you that will cause a reduction in its score.
I'm glad I read your review because that would have been a nasty surprise the next time I joined.

Great review!
If I ever get around to writing another review of this site it'd probably look an awful lot like yours - right down to the fairly high score even though the body of the review points out a lot of flaws. But for all it's flaws this site often has some hyper-hot scenes. Like you, the high proportion of anal scenes is one of the things that keeps me coming back.
I think that this is one of the better porn deals available since you get access to multiple sites too. My favourite is probably ExCoGi (or Exploited College Girls). I find a higher proportion of models there are better looking than at BRCC. Casting CouchHD is also a great site.

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.

I'm not a fan of Net Video Girls. The site is a mess and the videos aren't great either. I did download some stuff but not much of it.

That's a good price. I doubt I'll take the leap though since it was only a few days ago that my membership expired.
As for the models, some of them could easy become A-list models without much effort.
