Thanks RA, good to see you still around.
My reviews should be a little more balanced score-wise than they used to be since I really don't have hardly any favorite models anymore.
I do believe the move to quality over quantity is important at this point in these sites lives. When you've got 10+ years of content piling up it's time to start focusing on quality since the quantity should already be there. I'll have a couple of more similar sites to compare over the next few weeks between DDF and 21 Sextury, as both of these once top European networks have both started using different update schedules, higher quality, less quantity practices.
I would think Videobox might still keep me coming back at least once a year to get the Vivid updates, but I ended up with nearly 200 GB more content from VideosZ than Videobox.
I used to be bothered by daily download limits and still am by the more stricter ones like Reality Kings where they cut you off after 50 scenes in one day, but I only hit Reality Kings twice. I hardly ever find enough content, that I want to keep, these days to download more than 25-50 scenes a day, but can understand the frustration for those who are hitting a limit. Thanks for the heads up on the lower resolution. I went through their search engine for an hour or so, counting HD scenes, total scenes, but didn't find anything lower than 540p.

Pros:
- One of the largest DVD sites on the internet.
- Lots of HD scenes as long as you consider 720p to be HD.
- A few standout studios (Eromaxx, Elegant Angel with standard membership come to mind), you won't find on other DVD sites.
- Though the search engine isn't the best, between it and the tags, categories, it is the easiest of the DVD sites to use and find what you're looking for.
- Good PU member price at $17.99 with no additional charges or add-on channels to buy.
- Lowest quality videos I've found are 540p, nearly 4,000 DVDs, 20,000+ scenes are 720p or 1080p.
- More varied niches that update regularly.
- Download speeds are above average and consistent.
Cons:
- There's not a lot wrong with Videosz, as with any site of this size it can get frustrating trying to find specific niches, but it's still not that bad.
- Older videos highest resolution option is 540p, I'm reaching here since it's expected to see older videos be lower quality.
- Could use a little more "classic" scenes, though my definition of classic is only late 90s, early 2000s.
Bottom Line:
Back several years ago, I posted reviews for both Videobox and Videosz and said I was starting to like Videosz better. Now, it's not even a question. There's niches here that I don't have much interest in, but they should be there. With these DVD sites they should offer as vast of a selection as possible to mimic old video stores.
One of my favorite parts of Videosz are the different studios. Eromaxx currently has 372 DVDs on Videosz, a total of 2,987 scenes. Eromaxx is an excellent studio/standalone fetish network. Being able to get a lot of their content included with your membership to Videosz is a major plus. I've never seen a single scene of theirs on other DVD sites. Elegant Angel, a standalone site and Videobox premium channel that costs $15 to add on VB, is included in your subscription on Videosz. The amount of scenes is pretty similar, VB has 1,644 Elegant Angel scenes, while Videosz has 1,551.
They also have other smaller studios I haven't seen on other DVD sites. The search engine is usable, but I'm not going to say it's 100% accurate. The site as a whole has a nice, clean design with drop-down menus that allows you to separate scenes/DVDs by studio, actress, category/niche. You also won't find perfect tagging or niche-listing, but again, it's not bad.
It's hard to get around making comparisons as to why Videosz has surpassed Videobox, for example, Videobox added tranny/shemale DVDs awhile back, but some members complained so they stopped adding those. Members complained about handjob videos so those slowed. Videosz keeps a more balanced update of genres. I never really understood why a DVD site would limit itself to certain genres based just on the vocal members complaints.
The standout here is Eromaxx's inclusion. They are a pure fetish network that adds a lot of variety to the usual bland world of DVD sites. They are most known for their "public" orgy sites, Party Hardcore, Drunk Sex Orgy, and those are here, but there's also scenes from Fully Clothed Sex, My Fetish and nearly all of the sites included in a Tainster membership.
The overall technical quality is good. They've cut back on daily updates, going from 5 to 3 DVDs, which is normally a bad thing, but of the new updates, roughly 2 out of every 3 are HD quality. It looks like they're trying to add a little more quality over quantity, which I think is a good thing on a DVD site. Based on their numbers they have 3,145 HD DVDs as of 12/14/2015 and those DVDs equal 16,039 HD scenes.
The download speeds reach 90% of my download max speed and it rarely drops. Free Download Manager works, but for whatever reason if you load up a bunch of links, it gives a generic name listing in the download manager's list. Instead of saying "Big Wet Ass scene 1" it will say "video 12" then the next 10 listed will also say "video 12". This can be frustrating if you're downloading a lot of scenes at once since you can't see what you've already put in the list. Once you start the download manager the names change from the generic name to the real name.
I gave up downloading thousands of scenes per month, so I really can't say much about the download limits. I download 25-50 scenes a day, mostly because I've become more selective of what I download.
It's worth mentioning that I noticed a bonus section on their site. It says it's a reward system for loyal customers. It says after 3 successive months as a member you will start receiving bonus access to premium videos from Vivid, Hustler and Club Jenna. Not really for sure how I feel about that since one of their biggest strengths, in my opinion, was keeping their site out of the add-on premium channel mess. I won't change my score for it since it doesn't cost anything to receive those add-ons, but will mention, there are zero Vivid DVDs included with their regular subscription.
Overall, I would say Videosz is the best DVD site on the internet.
Hey jd1961, sorry about the delayed response, was very busy this past week. As long as you download the DIVX/XVID versions, I haven't found any DRM in those. The only DRM I found was in an older one that I accidentally downloaded in WMV format. Their DIVX format looks very good too. I've had varying results with DIVX, but I believe they must put a lot of work in the compression.

Pros:
- No DRM on DIVX movies
- Pretty high resolution on videos near 600 on the long end, but for some reason their videos look great in full screen, better than many that are in the 720 resoultion range.
- More notable videos than other DVD sites, lots of stuff that I would call premium
- Nearing 1,800 videos
- Have many videos from "series" porn like the Legal Skin collection and the Miami Maidens.
Cons:
- Price is still a little high to topple Video Box, but I will say that if you are on a good connection, one month membership compared to Video Box for a month, I would take VideosZ because of the content they have.
- If you're a numbers freak, you will want a high resolution number on the vids.
- I ran into few videos that had DRM, most of those were lower quality WMV.
- Not really a site to join for multi-months because of price
Bottom Line:
I never had joined VideosZ until this past month. They got me in the door with their amazing collection of Legal Skin videos which feature most of my favorite Euro models. Also, the Miami Maiden series, as I have lived in Miami. The quality/Resolution worried me at first. I also really prefer the DIVX/XVID to WMV.
I don't know why, but these videos, despite not a huge resolution look great in full screen mode.
Some mentioned slow download speeds, I am getting what I would call "average" speed, similar to when I download from Videobox, but I am in America, so it may apply differently in other countries. The collection of videos they have is impressive and I think should be their selling point. I'm a huge Videobox fan, but we all know that VB does get a lot of stinkers/bargain bin type videos. VideosZ seems to have much less in this group and tend to lean towards the high quality, top stars.
One thing I think that is important in the reviews of DVD sites is to mention the # of shemale/gay since if a person isn't into those, the # of total videos could be inflated by having lots of gay/shemale. Not that there is anything wrong with those. I've told before, I also download for my wife who enjoys the gay masturbation porn. VideosZ has 0 gay and 1 shemale. So you are getting near 1,800 DVDs made for hetero males. I highly recommend it, just wish they would lower the price just a hair, how about $24.99? The content warrants a higher price, so $24.99 sounds good.
This is one of the sites in the Reality Kings network that is pretty much a bonus site. The site is pretty good, it just doesn't have much content. Also, a good portion of the movies are split into sections. Which may be understandable since the one that do have full scene downloads are over 1 GB each. This is a group sex site and as most of you know, group sex rarely works on camera. Just when you see this really hot woman in a perfect position, the camera shifts to the one ugly woman. Having said that, considering you get this site as a bonus site, the group sex here is as good as any I have seen. I didn't see a reason to review it since it is small and doesn't seem to be updating. If you join Reality Kings, be sure to check this one out.

Pros:
- Possibly the best porn Porn Doe ever created.
-A mini-network that has 6 sites on it but not a lot of overall scenes.
- Two of my favorite sites are included, Fucked in Traffic and Pinup Sex.
- Updates close to 4 times a month.
- Above average quality on the videos and photo sets are included.
- Very pretty models especially on Pinup Girls, a site that is a homage to classic pinup girls with new models in hardcore action.
Cons:
-The 100 download limit hurts here. Fucked in Traffic has 76 scenes. Pinup Sex has 26 scenes. That’s 102 and doesn’t count the other four sites.
- I consider the name a con. It sounds like an old archive site that isn’t updating and has content they have stashed away. It’s really some of the best porn they have made.
- That damned 10 minute refresh is even annoying while reviewing.
Bottom Line:
The first time I was a member of Porn Doe the site that I noticed the most was Fucked in Traffic. I believe this site is filmed in Hungary and most of the models speak good English as do the males. It’s not that different from the Taxi sites or even Bang Bus, except it doesn’t feel like those sites. Usually the scenes are about the driver taking the female to a date and the boyfriend calling to tell her he can’t make it or to tell her he no longer wants to date her. The driver makes a quick stop to get flowers to cheer her up or talks nice to her. What this does, unlike so many porn sites, is makes the female the aggressor. She’s heartbroken only to have this nice driver give her flowers. She starts hitting on him and flirting with him. I don’t know how strict laws are in Hungary or wherever these scenes are filmed but the sex happens in a parked spot and there are cars driving by. Usually by the end of the scene the van or car’s windows are fogged up and you can see the vehicle rocking. It’s very good for those that are into public sex.
Pinup Sex only has 26 scenes but these are pretty models dressed like pinup models from the old days. The tease is high and you get the switch from softcore modeling and tease to hardcore sex. It just seems like most sites these days skip a lot of those parts.
You also have access to Los Consoladores which I think means The Comforters. Making it seem like it’s a heartcore site but it’s not. It has 51 scenes on it and some very pretty models. You get Exposed Casting with 41 scenes. It’s one of the few casting sites I have seen that has threesomes. You get VIP Sex Vault which has 56 scenes and Porndoe Pedia with 16 scenes. Those Porndoe Pedia scenes are quite good. They are supposed to be instructional scenes like a woman’s first time with another woman. First time threesome and so on.
What I realized was these sites on this mini-network and the scenes on Mamacitaz were the ones that impressed me most back in 2018 when I first found Porn Doe. I have mixed feelings about them splitting their content up into these mini-networks. The scenes are better than most I have watched recently and maybe they do spend a lot more money on these scenes with fully fleshed out stories and settings. I also see a positive in their download limit. If they had all their sites on one network and limited me to 100 downloads per month I would be pretty upset. At least with the multiple network format you do get 100 downloads per network. Picture sets don’t count towards your download limit. You also are not charged a download for streaming a video so you can use that feature to be a little more selective about what you download.
My overall feeling is Mamacitaz, VIP Sex Vault, Amateur Euro are each worth a $15 join and For Bondage is worth $5 easily, so the all-network pass at $50 is worth it. I do think they should raise the download limit for those who join the all-network pass. Others would probably find more value than I did. I’m not even counting the addition of Lets Doe It, Transbella and the other mini-networks they include.
It does make me wonder if the American networks should consider a similar business model. Porn Doe doesn’t seem to have any problems with getting some new updates on most of their sites while a lot of American networks are lucky to have 1 per day and are overloaded with archive sites.

Pros:
- Going outside my comfort zone here, not really that far outside, to check out a fetish I only have had limited exposure to.
- 375 scenes as of 4/7/2020.
- 245 models, mostly slim/slender and teens to 20s. Overall very attractive.
- 365 photo sets, excellent quality on high option at 3400 high end with downloadable zips.
- Updates nearly 3 times a week, does have a message up that says they are going to be trying some alternative updates during the coronavirus pandemic.
- More fetishes than just pissing, tights, leggings, stockings, hose, including pissing in pants.
- Good, trusted billing through Vendo
Cons:
- It needs better utilized tags or categories and maybe less tags per scene. Some of these scenes have as many as 70 tags. I'm all for thorough and can appreciate the effort but it could be done in a simpler way.
- Here's a subjective one, I don't like the scenes where they piss in a cup or a pitcher. Will further in BL.
- Prefer the girl/girl scenes over the male/female
Bottom Line:
Technically, there's very little at all wrong with this site.
The download options on the newer videos are maybe the most complete I've ever seen. They have 4K, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 320p, an 810p WMV, a teaser and trailer. They have had 4K since 2015, which is roughly 75% of all their scenes. I will mention some scenes also have a Behind the Scenes video and some have a screencap download option too.
The content itself is hardcore porn when it's male/female, they just stop at different times and piss on each other. If I'm laughing and that's offensive to pissing fetishists, accept my apology. I keep seeing that scene in Robin Hood: Men in Tights where the guy flips upside down on the horse and says he's pissed off, the other guy looking at his position in relation to the horse's hindquarters says, "It's better than being pissed on!"
There seems to be some humor for the male/female models. One I watched, they had been having sex for over 30 minutes, he sat down in a chair, she sat in another chair beside him. He starts pissing up in the air, she starts pissing but aims it at him so he starts aiming his piss at her. It's like a sex scene turned into a Super Soaker competition.
The female/female scenes add more of a erotic feel to the pissing. Artistic? I didn't find any of this disgusting or anything a non-pissing fetishist would say. It's still not a niche I'll be searching for but as mentioned, this is not my first time watching pissing porn. I had a whole collection of women pissing in public scenes that my public fetish helped make the pissing part more acceptable to me.
It's a very high quality porn site. I don't know hardly any of these models, I believe they're mostly Czech, some are really attractive. I think my favorite so far is Naomi Bennet. It's a solo scene that I noticed her in. She's a nurse in it and pisses multiple times, masturbates, very sexy scene.
As mentioned in the cons, I'm not into the ones that have pissing in cups or pitchers. I grew up with an older brother who liked to piss in people's drinks. So, that's a purely subjective one that I just can't get into.
The female/female scenes have excellent lesbian action from deep kissing to hard dildo use on each other. I think my immaturity comes out a little as each time they piss on each other, I see it as them striking back at the other for not getting them off.
It's different but not really that different. I think this is one of the more popular fetishes and something I will mention as a plus, it shows the pussy working which is probably where I'm relating eroticism. What I don't understand is how the guys piss with erections. Maybe it's because they're not aiming at a toilet bowl? That has never worked for me.
Something I'll wrap up with is the content was a lot more fun than I expected. I seemed to have a misconception that pissing content was more serious. You'll see the models laugh, you'll maybe close an eye or two on some parts like when one guy wiped the piss off the floor with his underwear then wrung the underwear over the woman's mouth.
It's a site that I'll come back to in the future as the high quality and good sex parts are all top-notch.
I would recommend it to pissing newcomers especially. I have seen much more extreme pissing content.

Pros:
- It was bound to happen, I knew since the day I saw this site I would have to join it.
- I know very little about Vitaly but the way I understand it he's a known prankster on Youtube. He's decided to add porn stars to his pranks.
- Funny, goofy, public exhibitionism pranks that include some really sexy ones.
- Good price that changed to $7.95 when I went to the site. It includes another site that says it's free for 30 days. It's called Hot Girls 4K or something like that. I just canceled it since as you can see I don't remember the name of it.
- This type of porn takes a lot of nerve and set of steel balls. He's got naked women getting suntan oil put on them right out in public at a park.
- Fun site as a diversion from regular porn.
Cons:
- No downloads.
- I get the feeling the content will probably disappear/be removed eventually.
- Some really goofy ones like the Zombie Miami one.
- Don't plan on using the model list. It gives you a 404 page missing page.
Bottom Line:
This site is owned by the same people that own Mr. Skin. They even offer you a free or very cheap version of Mr. Skin when you join. I passed as I was just interested in seeing what all this Vitaly guy could get into.
I'm counting right at 105 scenes. I'm going to through some of the scenarios since I think this is the one major and even rare strength a site like this can have.
Topless cop prank: A male cop and a very well-built female cop walk around and the female cop pops her boobs out at those passing by. The real humor comes in when the cops start simulating having sex and real cops drive by. That's when the scene starts ending.
Topless Elevator Prank: Who hasn't got on an elevator and hoped there would be a gorgeous topless porn star standing there?
Topless Pizza Delivery Prank: The good thing about this one is porn has tried to make the fictional version of this prank. This is the real version of it.
A small Asian woman riding around in a car flashing everyone.
There are some scenes that go into sex as well. There's a How to Eat Ass scene.
One I thought was really funny was a porn star showing strangers her porn videos on her phone. They look at the scene, kind of are shocked, then look at her and look back at the screen.
This is one time having pro models was the right decision. It shows a fun side of the models and how most of them don't take themselves too seriously.
They even take us back to the days of the classic site Action Girls with topless women on a gun range shooting machine guns. You will then see a public beach scene with one model pulling her bikini down and the other model going down on her right out in public.
It's a unique site that could probably be a lot bigger hit if they had more money to make more scenes. Most of those scenes have the actual scene then a behind the scenes scene of it. I do think they would have to add downloads since this kind of reminds me of the old Brazzers site Asses In Public where they once had 100 scenes and now only have around 12.
They have a game show scene with a BBW who sits on the loser's face and it's called, "The Big Ass Game Show". I think the best scene is the suntan lotion at a public park. The basis of most of these if it's not clear is the guy(s) don't know it's a prank. So they will be putting the oil/lotion on the model in a bikini. She takes her top off and the guy's eyes pop out of his head.
I don't know, maybe the Coronavirus lockdown has caused this public porn to be more interesting since I'm not going out in public very much right now?
I think an 85 is the highest I have ever scored a streaming-only site. It just hits a niche I really like and with the cheap price it's a good membership to try out for a month. Especially if you're bored with regular porn. The scenes are not long and to me that just adds to the realness of it. Maybe it's more of a novelty porn site? A fun idea that could be even better.

Pros:
- The master of softcore, leg, lesbian porn.
- I have been joining Viv’s sites dating back to when he had two sites and I still believe it’s the best lesbian porn available. From a man’s perspective.
- Looks like there’s a daily update of either photoset or video, or it’s really close.
- 1,113 models and they include the majority of the finest models to ever grace the Earth.
- There are now 2,195 videos and 3,390 photosets. All are downloadable.
- The ease of using the site is important for anyone that remembers the old Viv sites. Met Art now manages it or owns it. I’m not for sure which but the navigation improvement is a big part of my score.
- Good download speeds (80% of max).
- Nearly all the old videos are still here but do see the cons.
- This is one of those pros that has to be mentioned. Some of the photosets have photos that are 9000x6000. There’s nothing else to say about that.
Cons:
- Made that fast: Some of the old videos are gone. What it looks like to me is the male/female scenes are all gone. I will go into that in the bottom line. It’s not a big deal for me since I still have those on a hard drive.
- I know that Sandra Shine does some producing and she was a great model, one of my favorites but no one really captures Viv’s style. I do think the older scenes are generally better but it’s not by much. If it makes Sandra feel any better, my all-time favorite Viv scene is Pink Velvet 3, part 5, Sandra Shine and Eve Angel in the most passionate, unbelievable lesbian scene I ever watched.
Bottom Line:
I always mention DDF’s name when talking about Viv Thomas. I felt like they made the boom of 2005-2009 in internet porn, happen. I am going to start with that con. I don’t know how many male/female scenes there were on this site but one I remember very well was Jo, Eve Angel and a guy that was supposed to be a professor or something like that. Neither Eve nor Jo was known for their male/female scenes. I don’t think they had even 10 male/female scenes between them. It was more of a collector video to me. I have it on a hard drive. I don’t remember Jo doing anything with the guy but Eve did and it as common as hardcore is these days, was uncommon back then to see them in a hardcore scene. I don’t think there were a lot of male/female scenes but those were really good. If you didn’t know those were there you wouldn’t think much about it but I am mentioning it for those collectors out there that maybe lost their old scenes. I don’t see it. It could be here but I don’t think it is. The old lesbian scenes are. I thought Eve’s lesbian scene with highly underrated model Lisa C, was one of the very best lesbian scenes. I do believe Viv’s production played a big role in that. He had Eve and Lisa C meet at a hotel room and the first 5 minutes of it has them kissing, groping each other over their clothes and against the walls. They couldn’t keep their hands off each other long enough to take their clothes off.
And just a little on that Eve and Sandra scene. They are either being nurses or maids. The scene starts and they get so into the sex it really looks like Sandra instinctually sticks one of her fingers in Eve’s butt. That was not common for Eve back then. The scenes felt like Viv directed how things started and he kind of let the models start improvising and adding, no subtracting.
It is still that good of a site. I know subjectivity plays a part there. If you are looking for what looks like real sex, this is it. If you couldn’t see what was going on, you wouldn’t know a cameraman was there.
The site is very large with excellent navigation. There used to be I think this is how it was split, there was a Viv Thomas photos site and a Viv Thomas videos site. It’s all here now and they’re updating daily. I hate to say I think it’s even better than Met-Art but I do and it is based on my preferences. The models are more built on Viv Thomas. This is the pinnacle of lesbian porn. I have been told to say from a male’s perspective. Maybe it’s not the most realistic lesbian porn but from a male’s perspective there are at least two very pretty, naked, sexy women, rolling around, kissing, licking and fingering. That is what separated Viv Thomas. I don’t think he tried to do anything except show off multiple women at one time. It’s what nearly every lesbian site up to the ones on Adult Time, tried to do. Most failed.
There are nearly 2,200 videos and the newer ones do have 4K. It’s all downloadable. There are nearly 3,400 photosets and as told in the pros, some of these go up to 9000 long end on the photos. The quality is there, the quantity is there, the name behind it. There’s not any, “Squish her face with your foot” or “rip her asshole open”. Having said that, it’s still not what I would call softcore. These women go at it. There are still some solo scenes too. They have good tags. Once again, just missed 100
Could be a case of people getting Viv Thomas and Viv Thomas Video mixed up. I don't remember Viv Thomas (that Met Art bought) having much hardcore on it, but Viv Thomas Video (that I don't think Met Art bought) having lots of hardcore on it. I joined Viv Thomas Video a few months ago to pick up some scenes I've lost or misplaced and it was "updating" with recycled videos from 6 years ago, but it did have a lot of hardcore still on it.
As for Viv Thomas that Met Art bought, it still has some hardcore, but it's a very small percentage (maybe 10%), so there is still some hardcore on it, but nothing like Viv Thomas Video had.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Met-Art does a fine job of keeping the legendary Viv Thomas' site running strong.
- Watching the videos and looking at the photos almost makes you believe the photographers either studied Viv's style of shooting or were his apprentices.
- Lots of lesbian action, a long-time strong point of Viv Thomas.
- Daily updates, video one day, photo set the next day, video the next and so on.
- Very high technical quality (will go into in BL).
- Quite a bit of Viv's older content is still here, but there's a slight con below about this.
- Easy to navigate. A search box. An advanced search option. Update tab, models tab, photos tab, videos tab. Everything works great.
- Passionate sex, another Viv staple and it's still here. Lots of kissing between the women.
- Photos are downloadable in zips with the high quality option nearing 6000 on the high end.
- Top-tier Euro models ... if those still exist and once again, just like Viv always booked.
Cons:
- There's not a lot to complain about it here. I think Met-Art has improved this site, though I scored it a 92 many years back and a 92 today, but there's improvement. I just think the whole field of porn sites have improved quite a bit.
- Could be a little better if the videos had BTS on the thumbnail so I don't click them thinking it's an action video.
Bottom Line:
Viv Thomas had two sites. One was this one I'm reviewing, the other was just Viv Thomas Video. Viv Thomas Video site is one of my all-time favorite sites for lesbian content. This one I'm reviewing used to be mostly photos with the occasional interview/BTS video, but it now has Viv Thomas Video level videos.
Viv Thomas was one of the innovators of modern Euro porn. He specialized in the passionate lesbian sex world known as "leg sex". Anytime you saw pictures of Viv at an adult function, there would be 3-5 top models standing around him, hugging him, etc...
It's not unusual for one of his lesbian scenes to be 25-30 minutes in length, with 20 minutes of the scene being the models being fully dressed, kissing, hands up each other shirts, down each others pants, tongues in each others mouth. And somehow, Met-Art in buying the site, have been able to closely replicate Viv's style.
The first big technical change: Viv's sites never were at the top of field in terms of technical quality. Seems like his photos always topped out at 2000 high end and videos were 360p back when he was running the sites. The photos are now coming in at near 6000 long end and the videos are loaded with options. The biggest surprise for me, though it's not something I download is the amount of videos with the 4K option. They date back to May 2015, so that's 9-10 months of videos with the 4K option. The last 4-5 years of videos also have the 1080p option.
Then there's the ones I usually avoid at all costs. The interview videos, but you have to see Viv's if you haven't. They're unlike any interview video of models you've seen. Viv never seems awestruck by the models or silly or demanding of ignorant information. He just talks to them like they are his friends. I always thought those were a nice touch.
There's also quite a bit of content on this site. As of 2/9/2016, there's 2,663 photo sets and over 1,300 videos. Thanks to the new ownership, Met-Art has started filming these scenes similar to how Sex Art does. There's a similar basis in 4-5 scenes and they are grouped together so you can watch them in succession if you wanted to do that.
You'll have a hard time finding a single unattractive model here and there's at least some curvier models than most Euro sites are doing these days. I know that by giving it a 92, I'm grouping it in the "best of class" and I believe it is and it's a class it's not even usually categorized in ... lesbian. I prefer it over all the other lesbian sites. Met-Art's network has quite a few of these sites they've bought from the original producers and I think this is the one they've done the best job with. Highly recommended.
The reason you aren't getting much video satisfaction with this Viv site is because it is his photo site. The videos are there, but they are there to hope you buy the DVDs or join his video site. His video site is VivThomasVideo. It has the full scenes in one part. On a side note, he has started putting more pictures on the video site too.
You can also get full access to all of his videos in full parts by joining Teen Dreams. It is listed as "bonus" content under "Viv Thomas Videos" on their site, but it is fully downloadable, full scenes and probably has 95% of his videos on it. This is probably the best deal, though the movies aren't quite as high quality as his video site has, they are still a respectable 640 high end. Plus, with the TBP discount, Teen Dreams is only $19.95 so you get their whole huge site and all of Viv's videos too for less than $20. They also have his picture sets in their bonus section, but no zips.
Hey Wittyguy, I meant to reply back to this but got seriously caught in work and let a lot of replies pile up.
I didn't think you were picking on my score. I posted that thread mainly because a lot of members don't notice that I rarely rank a site very low unless it is terrible or a gimmick or rip-off.
I like to call my scoring system a curved one. Really bad porn pun there. Since I usually won't review a site that is below a 70, instead posting a comment to warn others, my ratings range between 70-100, so 85 is the middle. I know that Toadsith also talked about this. I had reviewed other things as well like he was talking with netflix. Mine usually pertain to weight lifting equipment, where we gave "dumbbells" as ratings, 1-5. So, the larger scoring scale gives me some problems.
Just wanted to clear that up so you didn't think I took it personally.
I've found that the best place to find the full Viv sets are on Teen Dreams. I think I noted that in a reply to Drooler, a set that has Eve Angel and Mona Lisa, on Viv's site it has around 80 pictures in it, on Teen Dreams it has 220 or so. My understanding of that was that Viv considers his sets to have a flow to them. Meaning, you won't see nearly the same exact pose two or three times in the same set.
As for the scoring system. I probably should start a thread in the forum area about that, since we've had a lot of members that question scores. One thing I will note here is always check the reviewers average score. My average site that I've reviewed is 84.7, in comparison yours is 82.1 and Drooler's is 78.3. I generally rate sites higher and will, as I said, start a thread to discuss that since I have several trust ratings that say, "Trusted but his scores are too high". Be sure to check out the thread in the forum, maybe other members could also chime in about it.
Agree, I have to think if I was a photographer, my pictures would come out looking something like Viv's because of his love of the lower body, including legs.
Some of the newer content also shows up on Teen Dreams in better resolution. One that stands out to me is the Eve/Mona Lisa set on a couch. The TD set is 1900 resolution high end and has over 200 pictures in it, the Viv set only has about 80 pictures in it. He does seem though to keep many of the solo sets exclusive to his site. From what I can tell, he most likely has the 3 newest sets of Eve solo, and I haven't seen those anywhere. I can agree too about the resolution. I wish he would bump it up a notch or two. I think one of the big selling points for me is the continuity of the site. You never hear of a model doing one set, then refusing to work with him. And because of that, you do get the idea that he gets the best out of the models, the big smiles, seductive looks, etc..
I have been a member here off and on now since I think 2003, and admit that I've let the membership recur way more than I should, just because I know he will add a few sets that I have never seen and will want. It is almost like he has a very loyal following of fans and his main goal is to keep them happy with new content of their favorites.

Pros:
- Without question, the finest collection of models
- Content wants to be exclusive, but the older sets are widely available, I assume those were originally owned by Viv, but he licensed out the older sets
- Pictures come in zips
- Navigation is very easy to use
- Download speeds are not really a huge part here, since it is mostly average resolution pictures
- Good enough price at $19.95
- Viv's experience and professionalism as a photographer/producer really shows
Cons:
- Well to start with, if you're coming here for videos, don't. The videos here are trailers, some interviews, though I will say that some of the trailers are 3-5 minutes and are pretty good.
- The picture quality can be frustrating. The biggest pictures available on the site are 1280 high end
- Zip file pictures are only 1024 high end
Bottom Line:
I will start by saying that Viv Thomas' work is my favorite on the internet. His taste in models, the way he photographs them, the fetishes he touches upon are the same as mine.
This site to me is the best site for pictures only. I know the resolution isn't up there with Met-Art, but I much prefer Viv's models and the style of his sets. The girls almost always start out dressed in the picture sets. Pantyhose is usually involved if they have a skirt on. I guess what I'm trying to say is he likes the girls to look classy before getting dirty.
Unlike most sites though that the models are all dressed up on to start a set, they do get dirty here.
One of the best parts about this site is the constant flow of new material involving the top tier Euro models. The settings range from a tropical mansion, which I'm guessing is the Viv mansion, to in the bedroom.
There is an active forum on the site that the models do stop by on. Viv is fairly active on it as well and talks very candidly in his posts.
All of your favorite Euro models are here, except one for me and that is Aneta Keys. Besides that one, Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Sophie Moone, even Sandy from Club Sandy, Nella, and by now you are getting my drift. Wish the resolution was higher, but I have been looking over it for 6 months. So, it isn't too big of a hindrance for me.
Viv is the Hugh Hefner of Euro porn and for any fan of legs, butts, pantyhose, beautiful faces and settings, I highly recommend it!
Hey slutty, I don't know what has happened to Viv. He had also been promising higher resolution pictures, but those haven't happened either. Still, like you, the quality of the action on the screen seems to outweigh the need for the highest technical quality of the videos. I wish he would update more too. Considering how much porn he has filmed, he has to have a few thousand clips laying around!

Pros:
- A resounding yes! The photos have been added to the video site and are zipped.
- Viv Thomas, to me, is probably one of the top 3 producers/photographers of Euro porn.
- Right at 900 video scenes
- Videos are good, not great, 640 high end, 2000+ bitrate, looks good on my monitor. There is talk of HD videos coming soon.
- Pictures are still a bit smallish, 1280 max, but are zipped and there is talk of 1600-2000 high end in the future.
- Excellent download speeds
- Navigation works perfectly, even with the added photo sets. I use the model search, click model, page opens has videos here, pictures there, click the one you want and there you go.
- Photo sets date back to 2004.
- Updates have 14 updates this month, today is the 15th, so either a video or photo set each day.
Cons:
- Things are going good when I start nitpicking on the first con, would like to see the HD videos and higher resolution photos happen.
- Some of the photo sets are small in amount of photos, some sets are as small as 45 photos.
- Photo sets are non-exclusive, but not all of them, there are some exclusives and though non-exclusive, they were shot by Viv, he has just leased them out to others. A few of the videos are now non-exclusive, Videobox has recently added several of Viv's DVDs. Videos also can be gotten from Teen Dreams as bonus videos, but are of lesser quality, sub-1000 bitrates.
Bottom Line:
One of my older external drives crashed last year and I lost 85 GB of Viv videos because of it. Luckily for me, I had separated my favorite models videos from his site onto another newer drive, but still I had planned to return. I don't know when the zipped photo sets were added, but that was a huge surprise to me.
The catch and where a bit of confusion comes in, the photo updates here are not the same as the photo updates on Viv's photo site, BUT the archives are very similar. At this point though, the pictures are icing on the cake.
The videos, we talk a lot about how hardcore porn has lost something. Usually the word "eroticism" comes up, and I do believe Viv does eroticism better than any producer in the world.
Some of the things we see in current hardcore porn, men spitting on the women, slapping, and the almost always facial. You will see facials in Viv's videos, but no more often than you will see cumshot to the boobs, to the back/butt, to the stomach. A lot of the b/g scenes end in whatever position they are in, meaning you don't have to sit through a guy standing up and beating himself off to cum on the girl's face. If they are in doggy, the guy pulls out and cums on her back or butt.
There is no smacking, no spitting.
Viv's greatest strength in my opinion is his ability to get the best out of the female models. One can see it now with the model Cindy Hope, Cindy is a very cute model, but she has never shown that much that would lift her to superstar status. Her newest video for Viv, has lifted her to superstar status. She always seemed to be going through the motions, now she looks to be enjoying herself. I could even go back to Eve Angel's career before Viv, she was a cute average model. Viv had her in a few b/g scenes, then put her with other girls only or solo and she won an AVN award for best lesbian scene.
I will keep every video I download from this site on its own WD Passport hard drive and won't delete them. That is how good the videos here are.
Here are some numbers direct from the members area. Just to show the high number of top Euro models he has on this site and how much content of each.
Now to throw the huge staggering blow. The lovely, innocent but oh so dirty Jo, Monica Sweet, 72 videos and 63 photo sets!
Not to worry, these are just 6 or 7 of my favorites, there are over 700 more models on here. I think though you can see just how much content there is by looking at those I focused on.
At this point, with all of the same ol', same ol', sites out there, I can recommend this site as highly as any site on the internet. Oh and there is a nice mix of b/g, g/g and solo. The g/g scenes are probably the most believable on the internet. Highly recommended.
While Viv's pictures are still some of my favorites, he has switched his pricing over to Euros on his video site, which adds about $10 to the already fairly high price of $29.95. His top quality option on newer videos is still only 2000 bitrate, 640 high end resolution. I'm not for sure what Viv was thinking when he decided to charge even more for barely average quality videos. He also has taken away to ability to download his videos on Teen Dreams, which they were a lower quality at 750 bitrate, but now all he is allowing is streaming from Teen Dreams, and even worse, the streams don't always work.
I will be lowering my score of his site again. Which makes the second score drop in the last 6 months. I just didn't expect someone who has been in the porn business as long as Viv has to decide to start charging more without at least improving the quality.
I just posted a review for a site that has some really rare photos of Eve called, thenextgirl.com, check out the preview and click on Eve to see a few samples. The one set with the blue panties on, in bed, is one of the best I have ever seen of her.
Since my last post to you, I have picked up more than a dozen more Eve b/g clips. Including one that is really old that has Eve, I believe Angel Dark and a few others with 4 guys in a gangbang. Eve doesn't do much in it except a little bit of a blowjob with one guy and some doggystyle, but it is so old, I'm guessing 2001, that she doesn't even look like herself now in it. I also found another called Junior College Sex that has her teasing a guy, then she has sex with him, it is one of the better b/g clips I have seen of her. This guy kisses her some, which seems to be her turn on, and she seems much more into it with him. Other than that, I think I have picked up just about everything of her that is out there. And I agree, she is my favorite by far of the Euro girls.
Sorry I hadn't replied faster. I've found Eve material on a dozen or so sites. The big Euro sites, 1byday, clubsandy, pixandvideos, all have over 10 video and picture sets with pixandvideo having over 30. If you're looking for b/g with Eve, good luck! The ones I know of are 1 on Silverstone and 1 on Peter North, both sites available on the New Sensations network, great price too. Viv has the most b/g of Eve, and probably the most intense b/g she has done. My understanding is one of the vidoes on Viv's was with, at the time, her real boyfriend. It still isn't that great. 1byday has a couple b/g scenes of her. After that, it becomes frustrating. I have one from interracial18 of her and a black guy. She looks scared in it, looks all of 18, and despite the guy being probably 10 inches, she looks bored by the end of it and disgusted that he cums on her face, not recommended at all.
The best hardcore you can find with her is when she is with another woman using strap ons.
To keep this as a related discussion to the review, Viv has a clip of her and Sophie Moone that is great. This is no joke, they kiss for probably 5 minutes straight in their panties. When Sophie pulls Eve's panties over, Eve is drenched wet. Which is what a lot of the best videos on Viv's site are, deep kissing, light touching, and you really see these women getting very horny.
I have over 150 GB of Eve videos and still going! Had to buy an extra external HD just to store her pics and videos.

Pros:
- Viv is the master of "leg" sex
- Can now double up on his sites for $10 more
- Viv is very passionate about his photography and videography, it shows.
- All of the big Euro stars are here, some have 10+ videos
- Viv's lesbian scenes are some of the most believable and sensual you will ever see
Cons:
- Didn't realize you could get both his photo site and video site for only $10 more, so I ended up paying full subscription price for each.
- The video quality could be improved
Bottom Line:
You know by now that I have the worst crush ever on Eve Angel. I had heard from Eve's own site that she was doing some new shoots with Viv, so that is how I found his site.
These videos for the most part are excellent. This includes some very rare b/g scenes with some of Europe's biggest stars. He has more Eve b/g than I even knew existed. The site is fairly easy to use as well. Everything is easily found with drop down menus.
What is leg sex? I've heard different definitions, but I know that way back in 1995, Viv was making movies called Leg Sex. My understanding is that it focuses on the sensual parts, usually wearing stockings or hose, heels, lots of touching and most of all right here on his site are the Art of Kissing videos. Hardcore fans don't look at me like I am crazy! Peaches and Eve Angel have a 15 minute Art of Kissing clip that is possibly the sexiest thing I have ever watched.
Several times in said clip, you can see the girls reaching to touch each other, but it is just supposed to be kissing. I'm not for sure how many total Art of Kissing videos there are, but there are more than this one. I kind of was stuck in shock after watching the Eve and Peaches one. The site has oral b/g, oral g/g, straight sex, solo, put it this way, it has much more variety than I expected from a very famous photographer. I was expecting something very softcore and artsy. What a great surprise. A better preview would help. I highly recommend this site.
Follow-Up:
Total of 7 point drop over the last 6-9 months, quaity remains average, while price reaches near $40 level. This is a shame since Viv's content is some of the best you will find, but I have a feeling, my joins will become once a year max now.
I think back around 2000, basing that one who I was in a relationship with at the time, I walked into a very busy mainstream video rental store with the intentions of buying a porn VHS that was "The Best of Vivid" it came with two VHS tapes, nearly 8 hours. They had a rack of plastic carry bags to put porn in so other customers wouldn't have to see the nude covers on the boxes. No bags on the rack. I still had my nerve up and that rush that came from buying porn tapes. I went into the back room and picked it up. Walked to the register with it against my side. The lady rang it up. This was back when check/debit cards were first becoming common. I handed mine to her. She says, "Uh-Oh, our reader can't read this." The tape laying there on the counter for all other customers to see. Luckily, I had some cash with me, it was something like $45 with tax. My then wife said she didn't like porn. Until she saw The Watcher series. I bought 5 of those directly from a mail order catalog at the video store. Featured on the best of were all those I named off in the review. And one of the other big selling points to me were the anti-facial cumshots. I've noticed that women prefer those. Sadly, when we got divorced, she threw them in the dumpster lol.
