I don't think the anonymous part is that important, as it is that a comment is left if they vote no. I just picked up my second no vote today and no comment was left, just like the last no vote, no comment was left.
Also both no votes that I received came within a week each of giving a site a low score. I think I have gave 2 low reviews and have 2 no votes. Odd coincidence or could it be a webmaster from those sites?
The best way to make it truly fair would be to not let new members vote, until they have 5 or so experience points just like they don't get raffle tickets until then. I wonder how many of the no votes come from someone reading a review that they didn't like, sign up, click no, then never come back?
Another option would be to remove the no vote all together. For example, I have 18 yes and 2 no, are those no votes really going to effect how someone looks at my reviews? Where the no vote is a problem here is when you ask if the people even understand why they are voting no? My guess is that most do it because someone scored their favorite site low.
Continuing on removing the no vote completely. The members who have been here the longest and put up dozens of reviews. Does that alone not say that we are trustworthy and not just someone posting a review to either hype our favorite site or put down a site that we don't like? Also, I would expect that the trust vote from most members is based on the scores we give sites. In which case, this goes into everyone having an opinion, and that we are going to disagree about what content on a site is good, and what isn't. The trust should come from whether a review is factual in its content, not whether a person agrees that Site X is an 81.
Last, if a person had been a member on here for 2 months and had 0 yes votes during that time, wouldn't that be warning enough for those reading their reviews? Just a different view on this topic. The only arguments I have seen between members on here was because of no votes. Anytime people, especially Americans (I am American) are given the chance to kick someone, a few will take that oppurtunity just because they are negative. The no vote also could be seen as what may hurt the site in terms of becoming a community. Communities are rarely built when negativity is allowed in.
I had posted a review about this site when I first joined pornusers. I was blown away with their high quality pics and videos, but didn't feel like there was that much material on the site. I just rejoined for my second go around, and I'm still not for sure if this is a new feature they added or not, but now there is an alphabetical order model finder as well as having the models listed in order of popularity.
After rejoining, and using the handy little alphabetical model finder, I can see that this site has much more material than I remember. Including their new movies in True HDV. They list that they have over 130 models, and there isn't a bad one amongst them. I hadn't seen this one model, Gabriella Moon until I rejoined, absolutely stunning model.
They have also changed the background designs and colors, which may not be much to some, but I think it keeps everything feeling fresh and new. Like brainpass or one of those sites that has the same background as they had 3 years ago, it makes you feel like nothing has changed or improved.
So, it is a great job all around by the xisty staff. Definitely check it out, there are very few models from Europe that they don't have. Including some of the best masturbation clips of Susanne Spears that I have seen. A little b/g in there as well, plus all those new HDV 1280x720 on those videos, their older ones are still a nice 640x480. I will edit my score in a week or so, add probably 10 to my review for the changes!

Pros:
- Very good, high resolution videos 960x540
- Consistent daily updates, plus huge archive of over 500 videos
- Pics are also high resolution and available in zip files
- Over 700 models
- Webmaster will answer emails, including questions about future models and even takes and listens to recommendations
- Great TBP price of $19.95
Cons:
- Some of the content isn't exclusive
- Some say the newer scenes aren't as good or believable
Bottom Line:
I've been a member on Sapphic Erotica a total of 12 times since 2004. Also note on my high score that I consider this by far and away the best lesbian site on the internet. There is very little to complain about. They have the high res pics and videos, zip files for pics, fast downloads, great customer service, under $20 price with TBP discount and though some may question the realistic/believability of some of the newer scenes, you still won't find any lesbian/glammed up models lesbian sites that has as much believable material when counting the archives.
I guess some even complain because the models are mostly European. I never quite understood that complaint, unless it is because there isn't much talking. I have very little doubt that if Sophie Moon started out in the industry in American Lesbian DVDs, that anyone would have known she isn't American. She looks like a native Californian to me.
The action on here is as real as I believe you will find on a non-amateur site. The one that stands out to me is Sarah Blake, she has a scene in front of a fireplace that has some tribbing in it that no one could ever convince me isn't real.
If you are into tribbing, {rubbing clits together) this site has more of it than any site I have found. There is also plenty of kissing, 69s and toys/fingers. To me, when basing a score on quality/quanity/value/ there are very few sites in any niche as good. It goes without saying that I rank it highly and highly recommend it!
Follow-Up:
New search feature makes Sapphic even easier to use than before! +2 on score
I always found the CMNF sites to be too teasy! I keep waiting for the guy to rip a blouse off or pull their pants down. My wife is very much into this site, so I have to download for her. It is that whole female having control over male part that she likes. I told her, "Eve Angel has control over me, I pay her $15 a month to take her clothes off on her site!" ha ha. Nice review.
She is such a cute/sexy model. I was a member on it a few months ago, and felt about the same way you do. The price was too high for the content and lack of updates. I think Eve Angel's solo site has spoiled me. She has over two years of daily updates and a $14.95 price. Great quality too. Even so, and as well as her site is ran, right now, there hasn't been an update in 3 days. Good review.
My biggest plus for this network is the humor of it. I find myself not skipping the "meeting" part just to watch the humor. My favorite clip, I think it is in the ballhoneys section, white guy in the gym where two women are working out on treadmills. How believable is it that a gym supposedly in California has no one in it except these two well built women and one guy, so they throw their clothes off and start doing it! I've been to several gyms out here where you can't even walk, they are so packed. So the humor for me was I could just see these two women in one of the gyms I go to.
As it is now, there is a line waiting on the recumbent bikes, now there would be a line waiting, "on the big tittied blonde" ha ha.
Thanks for the warning. I had never heard of this site until this comment, but I'm sure I would have eventually seen it and been intrigued. I will skip it now.
Hey, one of their webmasters at Hands on Hardcore had replied to me a few weeks ago and said they were making big changes at 1byday to be sure to check it out. I guess this is the big changes! I join it every 4 months anyway, may have to bump it up a month ha ha!
I'm not into gay porn, but my wife likes the solo gay movies, she has a fetish for seeing men play with themselves. Just to let you know if you didn't already, dvdbox has over 200 gay DVDs, unlike most DVD sites that only have straight or g/g. Good quality on the clips too. $14.99 a month thru TBP.
Thanks for this, I had looked at the site before. I too like this niche, and was seriously considering joining, but will hold off for awhile now. Thanks.
I don't care for this site either. I got it confused with Explicite Art back months ago, and joined it instead. I think I may have downloaded maybe 2 GB from it, then never went back. I can say they do nice work with the models they have, but it isn't worth the price.
Check out, European Glamour Girls if you haven't already. Very non-amateur glamour/erotic site.
Agree 100%, I married a woman who was a bookworm, a very sexy bookworm, but she never was a cheerleader or anything like that. I remember a friend telling me when I married her, "Well, you do have to have someone to talk to other 90% of the day that you aren't having sex". I think a big part of my attraction to Aria is that she was supposedly such a geek in school. As a Psychologist, I can easily recommend those shy, sweet, types because they have years of sexual energy built up! I might check this site out. The Naughty Bookworms isn't very believable, especially when they have Eva Angelina, and I know for a fact that she was not a bookworm in school!
Which download manager do you use? I usually use the freebie Free Download Manager, it works fine for maybe 6 or 7 clips, but if I load 50 in it and leave the room, the site refreshes, even with my username and password in the manager. Thanks ahead of time.
I'm with you on this one. I love the Latinas, Jenevieve, Sativa and Paola are three of my all-time favorites. I need to try this network out again. Seems like many months since I was last on it. Think it was back when the newest update was Havana Ginger. Thanks for the info!
What is the new look and features? I join it about every 4 months, and have a few more months before joining again. I stopped by, maybe I need to clear my cookies, I don't see anything different. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks.
Hey apoctom, Do you recommend the network that comes with it? I have always been interested in the Teen Brazil and Border Bangers sites which are both on it. Don't you wish these networks would take all of these little tiny sites and just stick them on one?
Interesting looking site. I had noticed the network when looking at Devil Film's and Combat Zone. I just wish the hell they'd get rid of Peter North. That guy is on more networks than he has actually given women cumshots! Good review.
I've never tried Opera for porn. I do have it on my PC and use it for some sites. I will have to try it out and see how it does. My one big complaint with using Firefox is that when downloading, if you are typing while a file downloads, when it hits 100% finished, it stops you from typing. Not a big deal to most, but I usually type from notes, so I'm not looking at the screen. After five minutes, I look up to see that the last 4 paragraphs I thought I had typed were not typed!
Yeah, I will learn my lesson not to run and join every site that says they have exclusive Eve Angel content! On a side note, also watch out for their other sites, listed as K-Package network. There are some high reviews, but the high reviews are from the same ones who gave this site a high review. Probably the webmaster of K-Site's little brother or something ha ha!
I picked 100%! I didn't look at it like the raffle winners, since U.S. best option is Amazon on the raffle. I use the Amazon certificates that I have won on porn users for buying either music or gifts. Kind of funny, the first time I won one, I bought my mom a purifier for Mother's Day with it, off of Amazon. Bought several cds on the other ones, including ones I hadn't bought newer remastered versions of, like the old Ramones cds or the remastered Clash cds.
But if I won $100 cash, I'd figure it wasn't my money in the first place so I might as well spend it all on something like porn! If I get lucky and win a raffle again in the future, I'm going to invest it in something to help my porn collection, a new external hard drive ha ha! I've got two Seagate 250GB full already. Now the 500GB ones have dropped in price.

Pros:
- The standard DVD quality resolution on the movies 640 x 480.
- Has probably the most unique search engine I've used for porn, is excellent once you figure out (will explain in bottom line)
- Also has a unique pricing plan where you pay $9.95 per month for unlimited or buy tokens for $.99 each. One token buys a full scene, 3 tokens buys a full movie
- Nice trial with 5 free tokens, no obligation
- Starting to see some DVDs that I haven't seen!
Cons:
- Site is still relatively new, 865 DVDs as of right now.
- Sort of a con, will send emails after you join via trial, but the emails are actually nice with update information about once a month.
- Site doesn't work in Firefox
Bottom Line:
You have to give them credit for trying something different. The payment system alone is one of the first I've seen like this one. Say you go by and see one particular DVD you have been looking for. You can pay $2.99 to get 3 tokens and download just it without a monthly recurring payment. Or you can pay the $9.99 and get unlimited downloads for a month.
The search engine may be used on some sites, but I've never seen one like it. You pick a type of female like Asian/Euro/Black, it brings all of those up. You then can browse the selections you picked, then you can search within say Euro females with attributes of scene, lesbian/boy and girl/blowjob, say you select Euro on the first, then boy/girl on the second, then you can go to next step in the search which is scene type, some options Orgy/Cumshot etc..
The video quality is right along the lines of the "DVD quality" on Videobox and there are some movies I haven't seen on other sites which is what made me decide to try a month membership out.
It wouldn't surprise me if this site ends up being a top site in a year or so. They are adding around 75 DVDs per month, a little over 2 per day on average, and the unique/easy search will surely help as will the free trial that is better than any trial I've seen. It was enough from 2 months ago, to get me to come back and pay $10 for a month, and I will be back a few months from now to re-join at the $10 price to see what new content they have. Recommended!
I know that at least one member on here is a big fan of Naughty Girl Sandy besides myself, so I thought I would let everyone know that Sandy is the July Treat of the Month over on Twistys! For the collectors and maybe even those interested in seeing more of her in a larger site that has more than a solo model like her own site has.
The low score is because of the false advertising, and not just with me, but also with TBP. To advertise that I am getting 72 models, only to have 27 when I pay my money is a huge drop off to me. The only content that I will keep is the Anetta Keys, burnt out on Sandy from Clubsandy, Anette Dawn's is a lesbian scene that is about a 3 on a 10 scale in believability, every clip I've seen of her is better. The Sandra Shine content is decent, but nothing great. The rest of the models that I thought I was getting are not on the site. Which leaves me with 5 pic sets and 3 videos that I will keep. The pics are advertised as "large, hi-res" but are only 1024 on the high end, which is barely even average if that. The price on TBP says $39.99 before the TBP discount of $19.99, but if you go to the site without going through TBP it says $29.99 not $39.99, where they are lying to TBP like a grocery store does when they say, "Was $6, now $2" but you see it later for less than $6.
Everything about the site seems hokey. Including the messed up security code. Download speeds are below average too.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Great value when considering the bonus content, amateursgonebad, glamourmodelsgonebad, lonniewaters and nataliacruze.
- Crissy is one of those head turning models, and you will find most of her online content on this site.
- Around 350 photos shoots, very good res and quality
- Over 40 videos, if you are a Crissy fan you know how hard it is to find any videos of her, a few hardcore, including b/g.
- One new Crissy photo set per week
Cons:
- Nitpicking here, have to sign in on each site
- Not for sure about the interaction with Crissy since she is retired, though the main page talks about sending in requests.
Bottom Line:
I really want to review this along with Natalia and Lonnie's sites, since I think the "Gone Bad" sites could realistically stand on their own. Crissy's site itself is as good as many solo sites, and has as much content as most solo sites. The only problem is, a good portion of this stuff has been seen on other sites. Similar to when you join Aria Giovanni's site, you've probably seen most of it already.
On the other hand, it is all here in one convienent place, and the pictures are available in zipfiles. The server for downloads is better than average speed, so you can download all of the content in probably a night or two, depending on your connection speed. Her site alone is worth $25 just to get all of this material of her.
Lonnie Waters has never been a favorite of mine. I just rarely find blondes that I am that attracted to. If the blonde has content on a site similar to this where I also get Crissy, then I will check it out, and Lonnie's comes off more as a bonus site. Less than 100 photo sets and less than 10 videos, it would rate about a 60 by itself.
Natalia Cruze is gorgeous, and her site has only a couple of videos, but before those I had never seen any. She is very much on the glamour side of modeling so anything that shows more than a nipple slip is more than I had seen. It is still a small site 75 or so pic sets, less than 5 videos, but when combined with Crissy's very good site and Lonnie's fair site, it makes this a nice package. Recommended!

Pros:
- Good TBP price of $19.99
- Very good clear movies 720 x 480
- Great work on the photos that they do have. Some of the best pictures I've ever seen of Anetta Keys.
- 100% exclusive
- What models they do have are some of the best, Anetta, Sandy, Sandra etc..
Cons:
- False advertising of models, only 27 not 72
- Pic resolution is 1024 at the high end
- Watermark goes from bottom of foot to knee on standing model
- Movies are split into parts
- This is a strange one, the security code, though showing up, tells me I'm wrong 3-4 times before it lets me sign in.
Bottom Line:
You can also read my comment for more about the false advertising. This site has it all, expect someone running it the way it should be ran. The content they do have is very good. They have 6 or so sets of Anetta Keys, and each set would rank a 9-10 in my book. Good poses, nice lighting, colors are a little warm, but it isn't nothing that bad.
Videos are crisp, excellent size 720 x 540, though the split scenes are a little dated for a newer site. Which it is obvious that was done so they can advertise more than 300 movies, when really it is under 100. What I thought was funny, on TBP it says the discount is $19.99, which is down from $39.99, but if you go to their join page it says join for $29.99.
Looks like they lied to TBP too about what their regular price is to make it look like a bigger value. This company is the same one the runs K-sites, and those K-sites have a very bad reputation, from having Sandra Shine to walk out on them because they were keep asking for more from her to for some reason, not including this site in their network.
I feel a little ripped off, but the Anetta Keys material will keep me from bashing too hard on here. I would hope though that others will not be fooled by the 72 models they show as, "OUR models", according to the unabridged law dictionary, "Our - referring to possessing or had possessed"
Last, they also have in the soon section, Crissy Moran, who has been retired for awhile now. Big down thumbs, not recommended!
