I had a similar feeling with the network. Aaliyah was a big selling point to me because I like dirty talk and I know she is one of the best at it. Ashley hooked me a year or so ago on In The Crack with her flexible sets. I wasn't that familiar with Dylan, but she fits the mold that I am usually looking for, the post-teen model, but pre-mature model group. So I have enjoyed her content too. The other one you reviewed, Leah, is a longtime favorite. I usually don't go for the slim, cute, braces models, but I always knew Leah was older than she was perceived. I didn't notice if anyone replied on the comment about Leah's site not updating, but Leah originally entered porn because she needed money. She had a baby when she was 17 and was diagnosed with cancer when she was early 20s. The porn career helped her pay the bills then out of nowhere, she just dropped off the porn map. I remember reading an interview with her where she said she "was always innocent and 18" in porn, even when she was nearing 30. I liked the network overall. I'm still in the mid 2000s era when it comes to solo sites where we would just get one solo site, so these solo networks always intrigue me.
I don't know if I should take pride in this or should never admit it, but I've introduced several friends to porn. Quite a few female friends who are recently divorced, felt pent in by marriage, repressed, etc...
So I picked 2-10, though it could be 10+. Seems like a lot of people are just waiting for someone to say to them, "There's nothing wrong with watching porn". It's usually funny since they will say, "This site is way too hardcore for me" then they tell me 3 months later they let it recur for multiple months.
And Denner, don't forget Only Cuties, if you're looking for similar content to In Focus, since it is ran by the same company and uses the same aliases. I always liked all three of their sites, Sapphic Erotica, In Focus Girls and Only Cuties. It's almost hard to believe some of these sites have maintained a high quality and kept churning out quality updates over the years. I always thought it was funny that the parent company Final Whistle changes nearly every model's name and uses those aliases on all 3 of their sites.
I'm also a member of this network right now and Ashley and Aaliyah have been my favorites. I've always liked Aaliyah's "I'm really only 18 though my drivers license says near 30" playfulness. And I honestly haven't even looked at this site for Hellizabeth. Look themed models usually don't do much for me. Glad to know I'm not missing much!
There are serious issues going on at VB. I canceled my account this morning after getting "404 file not found" on nearly everything I clicked. Wouldn't have joined if I knew they had done away with the option to return to the old site.
I joined this site awhile back, maybe 2010, and thought it had a ton of potential. Back then my thought was it was some kind of spinoff of FTV since I know FTV shoots quite a bit in Arizona and Sun Devil is usually associated to Arizona. The layout also has a FTV look to it with the magazine style thumbnails for each model. I still have some content from it, mostly photos, but the preview isn't being helpful unless of course, they stopped updating since it only shows a small section of models. They also had the public tease/exhibitionism like FTV. I know that FTV spun off at least 3 solo model sites and pretty sure those have all stopped updating. Though let me make clear that I'm not saying it is FTV that owns or runs this Sun Devil Angels site. It very well could have been a site ripping off FTV's style for all I know.
I was about to post a comment about my newfound interest in Evil Angel, a site, I had only added on my Videobox account before and never thought I would join outright by itself. I like the Voracious one. I'm pretty sure my problem with Kamikaze Love was that I had never seen Kayla Love, or at least I don't remember seeing her before and was hoping for a lot more of her in the scenes.
And to my surprise, I seem to be leaning more away from the softcore. My last 3 joins have been 2 Kink sites and Evil Angel. I would like to think my taste is becoming more sophisticated, but I'm guessing 9 out of 10 people would disagree!
Would it make a huge difference in crispness if I have a high end PC? I just bought the one I'm using a few months ago and it has very high specs. Seems to make everything look really good. And I agree, I thought the filesizes looked really strange for 1920x1080 videos at 4000 bitrate. I haven't been back to the site after downloading all the photo sets, which are very good, but will stop back in and download the videos towards the end of my membership to at least give them a fair second chance before reviewing it.
Hey slutty, I probably could have went into that deeper than I did and will in my review. One of the big selling points of Sex Art is that it is much more erotic than your average hardcore porn scene. Considering the scenes I downloaded are 1920x1080 quality, that would automatically make the file sizes bigger, but the scenes, to me, are extremely short to be sold as "erotic". Very little story, very little talking and the sex lasts 8-12 minutes. My complaint isn't so much with the file size as it is with the scenes being very short and not being very erotic, the filesize was used more to show just how short the scenes are. If it were a 640x480 resolution clip, I wouldn't think much about the smaller file size, but at true HD, it shows how short the scenes are by showing the smaller file size.
And what you ask at the end is the interesting part. The videos are very crisp, I mentioned maybe they are optimizing bitrates or using some kind of trick to get the best quality at a small filesize. The files are listing Codec: H264-MPEG4 AVC. Bitrate is 4215 kb/s. As an example of what I was saying, the video I got that info from is a solo video. The model is fully dressed and walking in her apartment/house, she is fully nude by 1:42. The entire scene is 8:38. I hate to beat a dead horse, but it seems like erotic videos would have more than 1:42 of fully dressed to fully nude, with teasing, stripping, etc...
I have a 2 month membership so I will give them the full 2 months before reviewing it since my review wouldn't be that fair or even that positive right now.
The quality is very high. I really like the photo sets as well. The ones I have downloaded top out near 6000 long end on the pictures.
Video quality is very high as well, though a little confusing. I don't know if they are doing something to optimize bitrates/file size, but full length 1920x1080 files are only 200-300 MB.
One reason the video files are small is because the time of the videos. I haven't seen a video over 20 minutes yet and the average seems to be in the 14-15 minute range.
As I had worried would be the case, the picture sets are better than the videos. I believe the basis of this site is really good, but it's going to take nearly perfect execution to pull it off. Most of the models, especially females, are younger 18-22 range, and I'm not for sure how believable an 18-22 year old can be when it comes to passionate sex.
To my surprise, there isn't much dialogue or story with the scenes which was something I was expecting a lot of. On the other hand, there is the Kamikaze Love series, which I downloaded all of, only to end up deleting all of because it was like watching an HBO after dark movie.
I will give it the two months before reviewing it with the chance maybe their steady updates will start showing some improvement.
I have had 3 different ones over the last month so hold off a little and they might send it. When tangub posted his comment about the low price one, the one I had at the time was for $23.95. I got the 75% off one the next week, it's $11.70 in USD.
It's probably more of a personal thing since I knew of her through some other psychologists in LA at the time. After I went back and looked, I have a whole folder of Savannah from the early 90s, who I think was one of the first porn highly publicized suicides.
I think it was brought up a long time ago on the forum. I was a psychologist in LA back when it happened. She had been trying to start a career in sex therapy as a therapist. I didn't know her personally, but had several colleagues who knew her. Which is probably my answer to why her case may be different for me.
Don't know if it's the one you're thinking of, but it sounds similar to the one I'm going to list, Haley Paige. I wouldn't say she was ever a favorite, but I did usually download most or all of her scenes I could find. Was also still in California at the time so her death was more publicized. It was really messed up from what I remember. Haven't been able to watch her scenes since. I really don't know if the death was different, with different circumstances, if I would feel different and since most of the stars I would put in my favorites group are still alive.
Bodybuilder is a really broad description. A couple of former female wrestlers like Trish Status and Micki James were in bodybuilding magazines and they were both really hot. Nicole Bass on the other hand, who I think has a porn set on Reality Kings, is pretty nasty.
It's funny that this question came up since I was just searching some athletic/sporty sites. I do like women who are in shape as well as the very curvy. If we could just get some real gymnast porn, I'd be set!
As others have mentioned, DDF is running a very good promo right now, but it has one big problem or maybe two. One is the right border cross-sale to Porn Access, two is that it doesn't look like you can change your credit card info. From the best I can tell it's an offer for past members and it is going to charge your card they have on file for you since it signs you up with your past username and past password. This is a problem because my credit card expired back in March and I now have a new one with a new CVV code or whatever it is called, the 3 digit number on the back. I'm not for sure why they would use this method to sign-up, especially with a huge discount and a marked cross-sale. I'm not insinuating anything except their promotion could be hurting itself since I don't think it would be possible for my card to be approved. My last membership was in May 2011, so surely they would know credit cards expire?
On the duplicated content, the only place I ran into a lot of overlap was on the biggest known stars. Like Eva Angelina, Jenaveve Jolie, the ones with 100+ scenes. If you search more by the DVD series than individual models, the overlap isn't bad at all and as my comment below about Tainster shows, Tainster's webmaster said they have an exclusive deal with Videosz to have their DVDs of their exclusive content. I'm going to do a multi-month membership this time just because I don't feel like I saw maybe 1/10th of what all they have.
It still ranks right near my top 5 sites out of over 200 reviews. So definitely nothing negative was meant. If anything, I saw it as both a way to draw attention to your scenes on Videosz because we have a lot of fans of voyeur and exhibitionism porn here. They may be hesitant to join the main Tainster site, but Videosz has enough mainstream content they might would join it and make a note to check out the Erromax scenes. Also saw it as a way to promote Videosz having some previously exclusive content since I think they deserve the credit for going above and beyond what other DVD sites are by getting exclusive DVDs.
The last goal was we have had quite a few members post about missing scenes and by mentioning that Videosz has some, maybe they could check into those to see if they find their favorites they hadn't been able to find on Tainster.
As long as you all keep updating Fully Clothed Sex, I'll be a 3-4 times a year member. That's easily one of, if not my favorite, niche sites.
I will post this to Monahan as well. Videosz has started getting some exclusive content. Though the webmaster of Tainster, I think, thought I was putting them down, Videosz has picked up, according to him, 25% of their 3,000 once exclusive scenes on DVDs and those are nearly all public/voyeur scenes. I felt more overwhelmed on Videosz than Videobox, but it could have just been from being away from Videosz for so long. And I think I probably know the video site you're talking about, American Vice. There have been quite a few DVD sites I've liked over the years that either dropped way off or shutdown, like Vixeo. Seems like when they first came out they had a 50% exclusive rate on their DVDs, but their webmaster was an ass and he jumped the price up from $9.95 or $14.95 to $34.95. The other that comes to mind was DVD Box, which had several exclusive deals with exclusive paysites to distribute some of their content, but they are now just releasing the bargain bin type DVDs.
In a recent membership to Videosz, I noticed that Videosz has over 200 DVDs from Erromax, the studio that most of this site's content comes from. I wouldn't say not completely exclusive since they only had DVDs from 3 of the original Erromax sites, but it could also be a good way to check out some of their content. It could also be why there are posts here about old content disappearing.
I've always kept VB in my rotation of sites I join, but skipped them this last time and gave VideosZ a try. I can't say you would have the same experience, but I actually was happier with VideosZ than my last time at Videobox. Since I was going out of town, I canceled the VideosZ account early, but am now going right back and rejoining. Biggest difference I found was VideosZ has some content that I had thought was wholly exclusive to the sites they came from. Tainster, formerly Erromax, Orgymax, has around 200 DVDs on VideosZ of their sites Party Hardcore, Mad Sex Party and Drunk Sex Orgy. And it's not to take away from Videobox, if anything I will pair the two together from now on.
Denner, I don't think the amount of reviews is right. ATK Galleria made some changes around the first of the year and I think it reset their old reviews. If you notice on the TBP facts it's first listed in December 2011. Galleria has been around, I think, since around 2001. Whatever change went into effect in December 2011 has created a new page or caused the old reviews to no longer apply to it. It's pretty confusing really. This is my guess though it may be wrong. ATK launched the ATK Network, which has Galleria, Exotics, Hairy, Archives and Petites all in one package. My guess is that since it has Archives, they removed the old content from Galleria and filled the Archive site with it. Maybe since they did that, it makes ATK Galleria a "new" site since they seemed to have removed nearly all of the old low-quality content from it.
