Have to agree Denner, I've kept a membership at Twistys now for nearly a year and have 5 more months left of my current one and plan to renew it to a 6 month membership again when it runs out.
Can't say I've tried these. Really can't say I would either. I remember one of the porn stars, can't remember which one was promoting a video of her using a Fleshlight on a man. My first thought when I saw the video and the Fleshlight was, "What if the son of a bitch doesn't let me go?" Too much concern of bodily harm to a very sensitive area! It makes me have a trip down memory lane to the Porky's movie where the one guy sticks his dick in the hole in the wall and the old woman teacher pulls it and won't let go.
Evelyn's videos and even photos on her site were really great, much better even than some of the videos I've seen of her on other sites. I had just mentioned to Messmer that Eve as well, really gave her all in her videos on her site, more so than her videos on other sites. I just hate that Eve's site has gone down so badly and can't wait for that new DDF solo site of Eve to open. Though I am starting to be skeptical of it since I first about it back in March and here it is May and they are still showing the Coming Soon splash page.
You know, I had completely missed Bambi, think it was the hair color change that threw me off, but have picked up a bunch of sets of her from the 21st Sextury sites and I was surprised at how good her content is. The little UK model Sasha/Sara also is quite good solo, mainly because of her dirty mouth ha ha. I have always believed that models like Eve and Evelyn, both could be super models if taller, are much more comfortable by themselves or in Eve's case, with another woman than man. I remember saying one time before that Eve does more with her fingers than most models do with a male model! I picked up an Eve video, believe it is from Digital Desires, but not positive on that. It is almost true POV, a guy holding the camera very close. Believe it is called, "Sex with Eve". She purrs at one point, with a grin on her face and eyes closed, "It is cumming". Broken English be damned! That was one of the hottest moments I've ever seen of her since she rarely speaks in English.
Don't worry too much about forgetting if you replied to that thread, I had the same concerns when I asked since if you did reply to it, that would mean I forgot if you replied or not!
I am making more comments than reviews these days. It is hard to believe that I only have 17 reviews since October 2008, which means I had 142 before then. I had been averaging around 12 reviews per month, now I've been reduced to not quite 3 per month.
My problem, and Drooler has talked about this too, it could also be what you are running into is that I know exactly what I want and expect from a site. I can join a new site and within 2 hours can tell you whether I love it or hate it.
Then I run into a member like GCode and he is just now getting into the Euro models and I find myself thinking I should review more based on the technical, numbers, part of the site, and like with you, my frustration with the same ol', same ol' tries to creep in and tell me to ignore those HD videos.
I've felt this way about one site especially and that is Brazzers. I joined it in January, believe it was my 5th time over the years and I honestly signed in one time and didn't go back. Even some of my favorite actresses are becoming stale to me. Kind of feels like a bad marriage in that sense!
I really wish Eve Angel's solo site hadn't become a recycling site and dropped their TBP discount of $15. I would highly recommended it to you for the eroticism she presents on that site. Some of her content on other sites isn't nearly as good. To this day, I still watch her videos from her original site more than all other videos combined. She is just playful enough, just tease enough to make her different than the majority of models and most of all, she somehow was able to produce over 250 videos on that site of her having real orgasms, the last few months were questionable, but before that she really gave her all. I think that shows by DDF picking her up to start a new solo site, which I check 2-3 times a day to see if it is open yet ha ha!
Messmer, I wonder if you replied to or read my thread awhile back about re-review dilemmas? The further I go into porn, the years pass, and many of the sites that I have scored high in the past, wouldn't be as high now simply because it is all the same as it was 2 years ago. That thread was about the dilemma I was in, in my re-reviews because I could review them from a pure technical view, saying they have X amount of content, high resolution videos, etc...
Or should I start adding a more personal feeling that this or that site just doesn't do anything for me anymore. I couldn't figure out what was the right way to go about that since I felt like those reading my reviews may or may not think 300th straight facial was boring, and that is why re-reviews or even reviews have become much harder for me to do.
My point being, I agree that the b/g scenes these days are downright boring. I would guess it is the biggest reason that I prefer solo. Not to overhype my favorite model, but Eve Angel and her fingers or dildo is more erotic than 99.9% of hardcore on the internet. She has the full tease, strip, eye contact with the camera, tongue licking her lips and her masturbation causes her to have full body jerks and spasms.
Best way to reach them is "support@21sextury dot com"
They have a lot of problems with hackers and one of their webmasters had left that email address here for anyone needing support with their sites. Hope that helps.
To top this off, she has lowered the price of joining all of the sites. At one time, to join her site, Cruising Girls and Sandra Shine Bonus, it was $39.95, now she gives you those and adds the Glam and Art site for only $34.95.
The Glam and Art site looks good on the outside and makes the claim that the photos are "life sized". But you can't see any of the content. Still, how many sites add a bonus site AND lower their price?
Nice content too, a little hardcore not of Sandra, plenty of g/g and solo action too.
Interesting wiki on 420, having grown up in California, the original meaning that I remember for 420 was the time the group who originally made up the saying would meet to smoke marijuana. Seems like the saying would go, "4:20, not a minute late, still daytime, not quite night, hurry up and give me a light".
It is a much talked about saying out here. I remember someone once thought it was police code for marijuana, someone else thought there was 420 different ingredients in marijuana and so on and so forth. There used to be a site that listed all the myths around the number. The wiki is probably right in current times as I've noticed a lot of "rebellious" teens with shirts that say 4:20 on them, so I guess it has become part of culture over the years. Most of the schools out here, have banned the shirts since it gives the teachers/principals reason to wonder if the student is using marijuana at school.
I always liked Kayden, used to be a regular member on Suicide Girls in 2006-07.
There is an interview video on this site where Zuzanna is either pissed off or not in the mood for an interview. As much as cameramen annoy me, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the poor guy interviewing her, though I did laugh almost every 10 seconds! I think the feeling bad part came after the video was over. No model, especially European model has ever handled an interview the way she does in this one. She opens with sarcasm and a snide look on her face.
Cameraman: So, do you like animals?
Zuzanna: Yes
Cameraman: What kind?
Zuzanna: Live ones
She seems to have a very good grasp on the English language, better than any of the Eastern European models except maybe Sandra Shine or Sandy.
She continuously, from the start of the video to the end, hits the cameraman with sarcasm. She even confuses him at one point. She seems to get frustrated with his question about "Do you like girls". She answers yes and goes on to tell him that she has liked girls since she was little.
Then throws the curveball that she is with a man at the present time, and the things she likes in a man are honesty, intelligence and that he is older. My guess is the cameraman was ready to propose to her by now.
I've never seen a model take such control of an interview as this one.
I also wanted to mention this site since I believe it was the second best in the TD network, if you've never been a member of Teen Dreams, you can get 44 picture sets and 9 videos of Zuzanna here.
All you have to do is right click the file name once it is saved on your computer and in the context menu you will see "rename". Click it and rename it with the .zip at the end of whatever name you choose.
You answered most of my questions in your very good review. I was wondering if it was more of a tease site since several of the UK sites I've tried out have been nothing but tease sites also and the one you mention, only tease, seems to be more of a UK based site as well.
Bad timing on my part, I just replied to mbaya about the winrar too, you can rename the files to have the .zip extension at the end instead of .rar and it will convert them to zip files instead of rar files. I used this example with mbaya, change for example, joanne1.rar to joanne1.zip
All winrar is, is a newer and faster way to handle archives/zips, since some businesses use archives that are 4-5 GB in size, the winzip takes forever, talking 30-45 minutes to open. Winrar is probably about 5 times faster than winzip, maybe even more.
Hey mbaya, don't be too worried about winrar, I've been using it for over a year now, much faster than winzip. But if you want to stick to winzip, you can always change the extension in the filename and it will allow you to use winzip instead of winrar. Just change, for example, joanne1.rar to joanne1.zip and winzip will then recognize it as a zip file.
By the way, if interested in winrar, they have a trial free period, then after the trial is over, you can still use it with a few of the archiving (making rars/zips) disabled. I didn't realize that and paid the full price for it after my trial, but have tried on my wife's laptop and it works fine beyond the trial.
Hey Denner, I also had stopped by and saw that they have a new set with the lovely Aneta Keys in it. Last I had heard, Aneta was in a pretty bad car wreck last year, so I am guessing this is her first new set in well over a year. Also made a note on the positive side that all of their updates so far in May have been new updates and not just reloaded updates. Maybe they are turning the corner and coming back strong? I'm still waiting on DDF to launch the new Eve Angel site, but that is a whole other story!
I keep the whole thing. Kind of like that old saying about you can't enjoy the sunshine without having been rained on. Though there still are some facial expressions that have no business in porn like the overused, "oops, I'm naked" one. I like the blend of serious with a slight smile, for some reason, I take that as seductive. Eyes serious, lips smiling = magic!
A fellow member here, Denner, has a thread in the forum about how to handle the different currencies being charged by some sites. I believe that he said he would send the website an email and most would give him the US Dollar rate. You could try that. Nubiles has really good customer support and a pretty nice webmaster to boot.

Pros:
- The solo site of Rachel Aziani, includes access to the Aziani network for a reasonable price.
- Rachel really comes off as genuine, a sweet, very attractive "older" woman with a great body.
- Videos are excellent quality but this quality also will show up in the cons, 1280 high end with up to 8000 bitrates.
- Pictures are decent quality, I do like their style of photography, very glam, very pretty sets, but there is a con here as well.
- Download speeds can reach about 95% of my max, and like the above, there is a con here too.
- Bonus sites are really good, I actually prefer Aziani.com to this site and you get free access to it with a subscription. It is a multi-model site that addresses at least one of the cons of this site and has some models like Georgia Jones that are not of the big breasted variety.
- Rocker/Sybian/Machine videos, these are the best videos off of the network, in my opinion. Absolutely loved the Eva Angelina Rocker video.
Cons:
- First con might not be a con to some and that is that the quality of the videos is so high that the files are HUGE for what you get. Will expand on this in BL.
- Second, Rachel's solo site does not offer zip files and some sets on Aziani.com also do not offer zips, this to me is unacceptable for a site that does most everything else RIGHT.
- Third, connection problems, I went through about 2 hours of "cannot load" pages earlier this morning. Download speeds will shoot skyhigh one minute then drop to 1/6th the speed in the matter of minutes.
Bottom Line:
The cons and further explanation.
The video size of some of the newer videos on this network are too big. A few examples, a newer Rachel solo video, believe it was Rachel206, it is 1280 high end with a 7600 bitrate, it is 11 minutes and nearly 400 megs! I don't think that is quite as bad though as a Julie Michel video on Aziani.com, it is 1280 high end with an 8000 bitrate and is over 450 MBs, BUT is only 8 minutes long! A half a gig for an 8 minute video is just too much.
I appreciate the high quality and the fast bitrates, but I'm sure those file sizes could be cut in half and ran at 4000 bitrate and be just as smooth to the naked eye.
As much as I like Rachel, not having zips for her photo sets really stops me from even looking at the photo sets. Maybe scale back those videos and use the money saved to zip the photo sets?
The other con is the biggest one to me. I had countless connection problems and as a comment I posted about 6 weeks ago told, I also and STILL do get security warnings on this site. It fixes for a few days then the security warnings are back that a page is trying to install something on my computer. The page is a pop-under ad that the site uses. That is uncalled for, I think it is bad enough to rip your visitors off, but trying to install junk on a paying members computer is just not good business.
Get past those cons and you have an excellent network of sites. Rachel has developed into one of the more entertaining and enjoyable performers on the internet. She has a big pretty, warm smile and big boobs, though I'm not a big boob fan, she has nice boobs to be that big.
The star of the network is the Rocker videos, this is a sex machine that the women sit on and you can't help but chuckle a little at some of them. Georgia Jones' expressions while using it was worth joining to see! Eva Angelina did everything she could to wear the Rocker out, but the Rocker won and left Eva giggling.
Those are original to me, they also have Sybian, but these Rocker videos are the first I've seen.
Model selection is great. Not only the lovely Rachel, but you have those mentioned above, plus a personal favorite in Carmel Moore, Renee Perez and dozens of other top level, mostly American models.
As a fan of mostly Euro glam, I can still say that this network is my favorite "mostly" American network. The girls all seem relaxed and have fun. Rachel's hardcore sets are with her husband Buzz, who is also a big part of the site and you are getting real sex between them, not the cookie cutter sex on most DVD sites.
With all this praise though, those cons, especially the no zips and connection/pop-under ads problems are really dragging this network down. Give us zips and fix whatever the problem is with the connection and this solo site is a 90 by itself! The network itself, is a 92-94, but I'm knocking off 10 points for the no zips and connection problems. Still recommended, mainly for Aziani.com and the Rachel videos.
Agree 100%, Nubiles has a few strange akas like Zuzanna Z listed as Jujuana, but for the most part, Nubiles is usually dead on with the most common aka for the models. It surprised me to see her listed as both Cindy and as Klaudia. Especially seeing that she is a very highly rated model on their site. I wouldn't have found her content under Klaudia in most cases, but I just happened to have some free time and was just scanning the entire model list to see if there was maybe a model or two that I hadn't seen before.
From what I can see the content they have listed as "Klaudia" is older than the content listed as "Cindy". She has improved her looks a great deal over time and maybe that plays a part in the different names on the site? The Klaudia content, she looks to have very little make-up on and looks about 18. The Cindy content she has make-up on and looks to be in her early 20s. The difference reminds me very much of looking at old and new Eve Angel content, as she made a very similar change in her look that Klaudia/Cindy has going from "innocent teen" to "gorgeous woman".
Sorry for the delay in response. I haven't been a member on Only Cuties since November/December. The last time I was a member, I had a similar feeling about the site that I had when I reviewed it. It doesn't completely blow me away with its model selection since I usually like the mid-20s models better than the teen models, but the quality of the content makes up for it. I would probably lower the grade 1-3 points if I were to do a re-review of it. I still think it is a highly recommended site though, especially for those who like hardcore. What I've noticed when dealing with the Euro models though, if there is hardcore, you'll rarely find any of the top Euro models in those so it is a bunch of models that I've never heard of doing those hardcore scenes.
I will probably post some more re-reviews, just had 6 memberships expire in the last week, all were sites I had been a member of before and eventually, I will swing back by Only Cuties, they can get me with their Cindy Hope content, and seems they have some Suzie Carina content that I don't have.
I just happened to notice that one of my favorite newer Euro models, Cindy Hope/Klaudia/Claudia/Hope is actually listed as two different models here on Nubiles. Not for sure if they realize it but they have 6 picture sets and 4 videos of her listed as Cindy, and 5 picture sets and 5 videos of her listed as Klaudia.
I'm not complaining as she is one of my favorites, but if anyone joins and likes this certain model, there is a total of 11 picture sets and 9 videos of her, you just have to look at the different names.
I picked several weeks since there are weeks that I have to go out to the east coast and stay for 1-2 weeks. Sometimes I will take a portable hard drive with me, but usually don't. I have this strange feeling that the baggage handlers would start wondering why I always have a laptop AND portable hard drive! Plus, my wife would eventually yell at me if I looked at porn everyday and probably let her looks go! Hopefully she doesn't read that ha ha.

Pros:
- Originally reviewed site over 2 years ago, original review expired, Nubiles is one of the few sites that has improved consistently and is now one of my favorite sites.
- New videos are 1280 high end with 3500 bitrates, new picture sets are 2400 high end, pictures come zipped in "low" or "high" size, videos have several options and can be downloaded in parts or whole scenes
- They really impress me with their constant "new" models that sometimes aren't really new to the world of porn, but are usually still pretty new and are new to the site.
- Shoots are more serious now than they used to be, not as much lollipops and bobbisocks and trying to make the model look one day over 18.
- Navigation is nice and smooth, model list makes for easy to find models, especially ones going by different names, nice size thumbnails that show the model so you can recognize her.
- Broad range of models from America, Europe, but not a lot of range in race.
- Some of the interviews are enjoyable
Cons:
- Wish they would remaster some of the old sets, they have some really great content of Eve Angel, Sandra Shine and a few others that was from 2004-05 that would look exceptional in full scene HD and remaster the pictures as well.
- Some of the shoots are very softcore, though most at least show everything, many of the older videos are simply of the girls rolling around naked on the bed.
Bottom Line:
Nubiles is one of those rare sites that has chased its potential, without giving up. Their model selection is one of the best on the internet.
One of my very favorite "newer" models is Tanner Mayes and Nubiles was one of the first sites that I know of, to shoot her.
One thing that I think can be confusing is when you look at their model list based on their member rankings. This is what I see in the top 10.
Of those 10 I know two, Bree and Franziska, never seen or heard of the other 8. Also the top 3 look young enough that I would ID them. Maybe it gives off the wrong image of the site? I've never really been into the very teen group and those 3 practically define it!
Others on the site include early content of Amy Reid, Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Tanner Mayes, and literally dozens of established stars.
The newer videos are 1280 with 3500 bitrate and look great, even the older videos are not bad, the Eve videos are from 5 years ago and are 640 high end, so that isn't bad at all.
The pictures have a nice crispness to them, but do agree with others that the watermark is a bit distracting.
The site updates daily, but not for sure on the exact amount of updates per day since they do seem to vary, I've seen some days that have as many as 6 updates per day, other days as few as 3. Either way, you get a lot of updates in a month's time and they have a nice sized amount of content overall.
The site in some ways reminds me of a blend between ALS Scan and FTV Girls, which should be taken as a 100% pure compliment. They really seem to be hitting their peak at their site at the right time. I've been a member 4 of the last 6 months and continue to enjoy the membership.
They have this update called "New faces" and this is where they add 3 new girls per week to their site. I like this, though I am not a big fan of amateur content, these girls usually are ones that I have not seen before or have seen very little content of if I have seen them.
Picture size continues to improve, zips are quick and easy to download, though they do limit your connections to 6 at a time.
As I said in the cons, the main improvements I would ask for is remastering of old content. ALS Scan has had a great deal of success with their remastering process and think it would make me move this site even up higher if they did it too. Also has a member forum, some bonus girls and bonus content that is mostly hardcore and the site has a nice blend of hardcore b/g, g/g, solo.
The content is also exclusive as far as I know though a few sets are in familiar settings that I have seen before, I still believe these are exclusive, probably just using the same shoot area that other sites have.
Well worth a month join and in my case, a multi-month join. Recommended to all!

Pros:
- Most likely the internet's biggest site, as of 4-28-09 has 6,235 DVDs, should eclipse 35,000 scenes later today.
- Recent additions of new studios has improved their model coverage, with dozens of videos from European studios.
- Quality, though varying, on DVD quality files is well above average
- Five full DVDs per day
- 10 month membership for DVD quality for $99
- Though there are search engine problems, they do allow studio search, which usually is good enough for me to find what I like.
- Covers most fetishes at least to some degree, have a breakdown in the BL
Cons:
- Those new premium channels have already pissed me off. One of my favorite "classic" actresses is Taylor Hayes, I did a search for her to find to my surprise 18 scenes of the lovely, leggy goddess, clicked her name to start downloading only to find out ALL 18 scenes were on the Vivid premium channel. That is how you piss a customer off.
- No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to get all the content from here that I want because the search engine does have problems and will give example in BL.
Bottom Line:
Videobox to me is at the point where everyone wants to be, but once they get there they realize there is only one way to go and that is down.
They do everything they promise, 5 new DVDs per day, very good quality, I've seen videos from here with bitrates as high as 5,000 and resolution as high as 720.
While talking to a friend about porn, I mentioned the deal you get when you join videobox and I think it was pretty well taken. Imagine going to a store, maybe a video store and they hand you a box with 150 porn DVDs in it and say you can have it for $15. I really don't know many guys that would pass that up, and that is what you get with a videobox subscription. A total of 150 new DVDs per month for $15, and you throw in the oh by the way, you also get access to 6,200 other DVDs too.
If I was a strictly video lover, this would be the only site I would need to join to get those. It is kind of like having an adult video store in your computer.
My one major complaint is the search engine. A good example will use my favorite porn model Eve Angel. Eve rarely appears on DVDs and most are from early in her career, but here are my search results for her on videobox.
Eve Angel search shows 10 scenes.
Actual Eve Angel scenes out of those 10 results was FIVE.
So there was five search results that were not Eve Angel. Now lets add to this, Eve, earlier in her career went by the name Severine, and on a very rare occasion as Seurine. There probably are plenty of fans out there who do not know that she went by those names since many didn't know she did hardcore scenes early in her career under a different name. So, I search the most common spelling as Severine, and get 0 results. I search the rare spelling of Seurine and get 2 results, and both are Eve Angel.
All of her videos on videobox that are hardcore have 5 stars, it would look like to me that someone on their site would at least take the time to move those 2 rare ones under her Eve Angel name, other sites have that have those clips, so VB should as well.
Fetishes and new studios they have added. The great work of Viv Thomas and Private studios now have a combined 113 DVDs on the site now, these are almost exclusively European actresses and that means around 550 new(er) Euro scenes.
I just think VB has set the bar so high that they open themselves to criticism that other sites won't face. My main point in my bottom line is that a 94 might be too low, they do everything they say and with the addition of the varied studios are getting some rare DVDs that are even hard to buy from the actual studios.
If that search engine was better, not so much the engine itself, just the naming of models, this site would probably receive a 4-5 point raise from me and if they didn't tease me with those premium channels, I would probably go 100. Highly recommended!
Last I checked Give Me Pink also had stopped releasing new updates, believe that was in February as well. Hard to say if it is a permanent move, I wouldn't expect it to be permanent though. I have noticed over the last few years that some of the very exclusive sites are doing their shooting in the spring months, so that could be it, but maybe they have decided to pull back for awhile. I would imagine that considering the quality of their content 1920 high end video, completely exclusive content, that with most of the world experiencing financial problems that they could just disappear for awhile.
One bit of good news, when I was last a member at Give Me Pink, they were allowing a member to switch the remainder of their membership to one of their other sites at any time.
For example, when I canceled my Give Me Pink membership, there was a few weeks left on the subscription. It gave me the option at anytime during those remaining weeks, to switch the remaining time left to any of their sites and as far as I know, you could then do it again and again to each of their sites until your month was up. I thought that was one of the best ideas I had seen.
What you are seeing is most likely because the sites with photo shoots and videos in the same setting and clothes are exclusive to their site. I'm not positive on how sites go about booking these models, if it is an per hour basis or per shoot basis. I know that the site ATK Premium has a lot of behind of the scenes videos that are actually pretty good about explaining how they do their shoots. The model could have say 5 outfits there, usually brought from their own closets/homes and they in turn will shoot 5 different sets, one for each outfit. I've seen Eve Angel complain several times that her members on her old site were wanting new outfits in every set. A problem for her since she had over 250 sets on that site. She was really joking about it more than anything, even saying she had started making her own clothes and jewelry since the stores didn't have anything different than what she already had.
I might be able to help in one way and that is to say don't necessarily look for sites that have 100% exclusive content. This will get you more photo sets that are in different outfits than the videos. Take a look sometime at Eve Angel's old site. Every outfit and setting had a photo set and video set. Where as on say Twistys, I don't think any of her videos have the same outfits as her picture sets on there. And they have 53 picture sets and 10 videos of her, but none are the same outfit/setting.
There is a downfall to exclusive content and it goes into cost for the site more than anything. I think the reason that Panther and I responded to the exclusive part is because we are probably using the word differently than you are. Generally speaking when you see exclusive in porn it means that the content cannot be seen on any other site. If you are still interested in Twistys, based on wanting different outfits from set to set, it could be your best bet of all sites.
