mbaya's Review
Thanks for posting this. This site has been on my radar for a while but I've never joined. I really like the old/young niche so I suspect that based on your review I may finally take the plunge. I wish more US sites offered porn in this niche. Jurassic Cock is no longer updating and Blue Pill Men only updates occasionally.

That's great new. Thanks for passing that on. The lack of model names may seem trivial to some but as a collector it's a big deal for me.

It's strange that the site is affiliated with 45 other big sites (like Team Skeet) and this is the only one where they don't list the models. I subscribe to a lot of sites in the course of a year and this is the only one that I know of that doesn't list models.
It's close to a deal breaker for me too. I might email them with a suggestion but I'm sure the chances of them listening to a customer is about zero.

Pros: |
- Interesting scenes with fun-to-watch scenarios
- 57 videos currently posted
- Updates
- Allows DL managers
- Video options
- Pictures and screencaps available
- Good mix of all-girl and b/g/g/g |
Cons: |
- No performer credits
- Wide chasm between file resolutions
- Slow page loads
- Irregular updates |
Bottom Line: |
This site seemed to have a lot of things I look for in porn so I recently opted to join. I like scenario-based porn (but not plot-based) and I prefer young and petite models. The site definitely offers those. The fact that it is affiliated with Team Skeet was a plus too.
All of the scenes offer scenarios that play well into the ‘BFF’ theme with playful 18+ models in setups that include carwashes, sports, slumber parties, etc. Yes, some of these can be repetitive but when done right they still work. This is porn after all. This site offers a lot of material for people who like group all-girl scenes as about half are this. The remaining scenes throw a guy or two into the mix for some hardcore sex.
The scenes use a similar practice that sites like In the VIP use, namely that while each scene here has at least four girls usually only two of them engage in sex. The others usually get naked too.
The site currently has 57 scenes available. I think this is good value if you join through TBP (for the discount) and while the site is updating it doesn’t update as often as many other sites. The site started in 2012 and I’d normally expect a four-year-old site to have more scenes available. The update schedule has been a bit irregular in the past but they seem to have settled into one update every two weeks.
Probably the biggest negative on the site is that there is a wide chasm between the available resolutions. The top resolution is 1980x1280, 12000kb/s and 29fps and those look great, but the file size averages around 4GB and some top out at over 6GB. That requires a lot storage. I usually look for a compromise between resolution and file size and often that’s found in 1280x720 but on BFFs the next lowest resolution is a pretty dramatic drop down to 960x540, 3000kb/s, 29fps. The next step is even lower at 640x360, 1000kb/s, 29,fps. This is purely speculative, but I wonder if the site sees their members as either wanting as high a resolution as possible OR something they can watch on their phones.
To make the file size / resolution issue even more cloudy is the fact that the file sizes between the top and the middle quality isn't always that much different on the older files. If the top quality file is 4GB then the middle might be 2GB. That is still a lot of data but it isn't reflected in the resolution or bitrate. The 960x540 files look like you’d expect but they take up a lot more hard drive space than you’d expect for those specs. That issue does appear to have been resolved in the past year or so. The 960x540 scenes are now encoded so that they have file sizes more in line with the specs. (Though I really do wish they offered 1080p.)
This probably isn’t a negative for everyone, but I catalogue my collection by model name and here all of the models are uncredited. If I’m looking for scenes by a specific model in my collection I can find them pretty quickly. This normally isn’t an issue because in almost 20 years of porn collecting every site or DVD I’ve ever had lists the models. BFFs is the only site I can think of that doesn’t list the models in the scenes. That makes no sense to me and I wonder why the stars (many of whom are A-list models) would want to be uncredited.
The site has no search function and doesn’t use tags. Finding a niche you’re interested in is a matter of luck. And speaking of niches, my favorite one is unknown here. It appears that when a young lady is hanging out and fooling around with her friends that anal play or anal sex isn't on the menu.
Recommending this site is tough as it does more wrong than it does right. The porn is great and a lot of fun to watch but the site lets the porn down. The site has no real organization to it and no way to look for anything specific. That it doesn’t even credit the talent is unusual, baffling and annoying. The lack of compromise with file resolutions is another annoyance. I’d recommend the site as a one-time join for someone interested in the overall theme but I with only two updates a month I can’t see hanging around for long. |

I am. But part of the reason I took the risk on the site is that it was billed through Epoch so I knew I could cancel the membership easily. And I've already done that. If they billed through an obscure biller, or worse, collected the fee directly, I'd probably have sampled a different bikini site. But apart from a few issues, it is still decent value and is updating regularly.

Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- Exclusive content
- Part of a small network
- $9.95 5 day TBP/PU Trial
- Photos and videos available
- Good value if you join through the trial
- Updates weekly
- Bills through Epoch and CCBill
- Some variation in body type among the models
- Download managers work (I use FDM) |
Cons: |
- Most sets are photos only
- No zips for photos
- Video quality is average
- No HD or hi-res options
- Network is small with no other exclusive content
- Videos are all short duration (less than 5 mins for most)
- Download speeds a bit slower than industry standard (I got 1MB/sec on a 15MB/sec connection) |
Bottom Line: |
I’ve been wanting to join a bikini site for a while now, but never bothered because I’m not really into softcore. I was browsing through sites with a TBP/PU discount or full trial and Bikini Dream popped up. I figured that risking $10 for a small network (through a reputable biller) wasn’t a big deal.
Subjectively, I’m a bit disappointed, but that’s my fault. The site is more softcore than I even imagined it could be. While all of the models are beautiful, many of the bikinis aren’t all that revealing. With very rare occasions, there is no nudity at all, and that is usually just breasts. But… having said that, the videos are still good once you recognize that this isn’t a nude site.
The videos all follow a simple theme: put a beautiful young model in a bikini and let her pose at a beach or some other outdoor venue. It’s simple, but it works. There are about 5-6 videos shot on Miami-area beaches of girls just sunning themselves.
My biggest complaint with the site is that approximately 75% of the models have only photos available. That alone isn’t a deal breaker, but the fact that the photos aren’t available as a zip doesn’t make sense. This isn’t 1999 any longer. The photos that you do take the time to download aren’t all that impressive. They aren’t terrible, but they are lower resolution than customers would expect in 2011.
As for the technical bits, the site is very basic. There is no search function, but one really isn’t needed given the volume of the content. There are approximately 250 sets available, dating from 2005 to current (there appear to be weekly updates). Of those sets, less than 70 have videos. The videos are in 1280x720 resolution with all having approximately 3500kbps. Subjectively, the quality looks good and is up to industry standards, but they should consider offering higher-res videos or HD on new shoots.
Bikini Dream is part of a small network, which certainly increases the value of the membership. None of the other sites have exclusive content though, and most of it is readily available elsewhere. The additional sites are grouped around a common theme, like “Stunners” for beautiful women or “All Anal XXX” for anal sex. All of the additional sites are fairly small and have the same technical specs as Bikini Dream.
So is Bikini Dream worth the price of the membership? If you join for the 5-day full trial at $9.95, definitely; if you sign up for the full month membership, probably not. I’m not interested in many of the sites on the network and I was easily able to download everything I wanted in a day. Thankfully the site supports download managers so I was able to queue up all the scenes I wanted and let FDM do all the work. If you have a specific interest in (mostly) non-nude bikini modeling, this site is worth looking at. If one of the other sites on the network tickles your fancy, the trial is still a good value but keep in mind that it isn’t exclusive. |

I've been interested in this site for a while but the preview does seem to show a lot of 'enhanced' models as you point out. I'd certainly appreciate a full review when you can get to it.

Pros: |
If you're looking for hardcore, this site has it
Download speeds were good
Video quality is average |
Cons: |
Only about 15-20% of the material is original.
Most of the material is just taken from movies that you can get cheaper at other sites (like Videobox)
The additional 22 sites with the VIP membership aren't worth looking at. |
Bottom Line: |
There is some decent extreme hardcore material if you like this stuff, but until they have more original clips I'd recommend waiting.
Don't let the fact that the membership gives you access to 22 sites. The additional sites have almost no value. They are small and hard to navigate. Finally, the additional sites don't really fit well with Biohazard Bitches. It's a pretty extreme site and the others are all really tame. Don't factor them into your buying decision. |

Thanks for commenting. It appears that some or all of the scenes here are just reposts of scenes from the series My Black Stepdad by Devil's Film. If anyone really wants these scenes a membership at Devil's Film is a much better value.

Pros: |
- TBP/PU discount
- Bills through Epoch
- Allows DL Managers to queue downloads
- Photos available |
Cons: |
- Small site (12 scenes)
- Hasn’t updated in months
- Uninspired porn
- Many B- and C-list porn models
- Uses racial stereotypes
- Misleading tour page |
Bottom Line: |
I won’t go so far as to say this site is a scam because it isn’t, but it also isn’t what I was expecting either. And the tour page certainly leads a buyer to think they’re getting a lot more than what they will actually get for joining.
If you’re like me, when you join a newly created site you expect it to be small but you accept that. I joined this site knowing that it was quite new and would be small and that’s really the only expectation that this site met.
There are currently 12 videos available. The TBP page listed that there were 12 videos but that was in June so I expected to see some growth in the site which would make it a better value now than it would have been in June. That assumption was incorrect: this site hasn’t updated since June. Nothing has been added in the last four months. I think it’s a reasonable assumption to make after four months of no updates that this site is stillborn and won’t add anything in the future.
To make matters worse, the 12 scenes are only available for download in one resolution and in only one file type. MP4 is the only option, but since it’s the most commonly available I won’t fault the site for making that choice though they do have to take the blame for not offering any resolution options at all. But wait! It gets even worse: the one resolution available is only 960x540. Bitrates vary with most being around 2500kb/s but a couple of the files have bitrates as high as 6000. Maybe you won’t agree with me, but I think that having these as the only available resolution is 2015 isn’t acceptable.
The scenes themselves aren’t really anything special either. Obviously all of them play on the stepfather / stepdaughter theme and those can get repetitive but the scenes don’t bring a lot of heat either. It isn’t bad porn, it’s just average porn.
I won’t name names because it would be rude to do so, but most of the models here are not A-list material. I could be accused of perpetuating a stereotype but I prefer models who are young and petite. The models are young, but some of them are much more natural in that they have a pretty sizeable muffin top. One has stretch marks from a recent pregnancy. Of the 12 scenes available I only kept six.
I realize that other sites do this too, but this site plays on racial stereotypes for the black male characters. Highlighting the fact that one of the stepdads just got out of jail and has to wear an ankle monitor adds nothing to the scene. Why couldn’t some of the black stepdads be lawyers or obstetricians? Don’t porn writers know about Dr. Huxtable? Bill Cosby is a great role model isn't he?
This is neither a pro nor a con, but there are no anal scenes at all. Apparently anal sex isn’t on the menu when you’re fucking your chubby stepdaughter.
Photos are available but only as a zip. Like the videos the one available resolution isn’t really up to standards for 2015. The photos are 900x1350.
Since the site is new I took a risk in joining as there are no reviews here or at TBP. I had an idea of what I’d be buying but it’s fair to say that the tour page is deliberately misleading. There are 28 medium-sized thumbnails on the first page of the tour, which would, to any reasonable person, lead you to think that each of these is a scene in the site. But closer inspection reveals that each scene is represented in several thumbnails on the page. Further, at the bottom of the page there are links for are obviously intended to show the viewer that there are 120 of these pages. That might indicate that there are over 3000 scenes on this site. There are no links to show the models on the site, or to sort by update. In fact, clicking on anything on the tour page brings you to the join page. Whip out your credit card and get access to over 3000 scenes! Reality will bite you in the ass pretty quickly.
If you’ve read my review so far you won’t be surprised to learn that I’m not recommending this site. Whether you’re looking for black/white interracial porn or you like the stepfather / stepdaughter theme, you can do a lot better on other sites. The fact that the site isn’t updating is the final kicker, but even if it was I doubt that I’d recommend a membership since the porn is barely average and the scene resolutions belong in 2010. The only saving grace that this site has is that they offer a TBP discount and they bill through Epoch so cancelling will be easy. If those are the only good things I can say about a site it’s likely best avoided. |

Excellent review. Thanks for sharing this. I'm a big fan of these sites too (Blacked, Blacked Raw, Tushy, etc.) though as Trump2020 points out the new downloads limits are a bit frustrating.

Thanks for sharing this. The $59 subscription for all the related sites is a good deal. And the fact that they refunded the original fee you paid before upgrading is something I wouldn't have expected.

I've had problems with VXNBill too. I had joined three sites over the Christmas break last year and was successful in cancelling them using chat but a few months later I was charged for annual memberships I didn't buy. That got corrected but it happened again twice after that. Good luck with your issue.

Shen's Review
This is a great review. Thanks for sharing it.
I don't want to add a negative to your review but I joined this and a few related sites in December and was billed through their new biller, VXNBILL. Since then I've had four charges for annual memberships added to my account without my knowledge or permission. Keep an eye on your card for the next while. I contacted the biller by phone and the charges were reversed.
I also should add that I've since joined other sites from this parent company that also use the same biller and so far I haven't had any problems so whatever was going on may have been solved.
But keep an eye on your credit card for a while just to be safe.

Head's up - I had another billing from one of the Lansky sites. This time it was Vixen. I haven't been a member there for many months and a $99 charged showed up on my card. I really don't think this is the biller's issue. I think Vixen (and the other Lansky sites that billed me months after I cancelled) are doing this on purpose.
