Unfortunately I no longer have an active membership with them - so I can't check to be 100% sure, but if memory serves, in their big ass list of random categories they had a natural or real or something like that category. Now whether or not models were correctly placed in it, that is an entirely different matter. I know they weren't exactly consistent on other categories :-P

Good point. The implants aren't necessarily silicon; I got a bit overly specific - some could be Saline or perhaps something all together more alien. I did go through the models and count exactly how many of them were specified as natural - thereby getting the 84% figure. I just wanted the readers to realize that you are getting a lot of bottle blondes and a lot of surgically augmented bodies.
While I love the enthusiasm present in models from American mainstream porn - I personally don't like severely altered physiques that chase the Barbie ideal. I don't mind tattoos or piercings (sometimes they are awesome) - but enhanced breasts, noses, chins, et cetera - can make for some unnerving results and almost always diminish the model's beauty in my eyes. I think Jeremy Clarkson said it very well in last season's Top Gear:
"Mind you as Francis Bacon once said 'There is no beauty that hath not some strangeness about its proportions'. And he's right, whoever he is. I'm mean, look at Keira Knightley: She's just an ironing board with a face, and she works."

| Pros: |
* Unique plots for each scene, varied wardrobe choices for models, and good enough acting during plot setup for easy acceptance of fantasy
* Well lit, organized sets, good camera work, good sound
* Many video formats - 640x480 at +1MB/s in WMV, MP4, MPG and iPod/PSP ready MP4
* Screenshots and Video Trailers for all scenes
* Matching 600x900 photo sets for all scenes (500 to 1000 photos each)
* Flash streaming video w/ full screen option
* Network wide advanced search, category search/browse, model search/browse, random scene button
* Weekly updates
* Fast downloads (1.16 MB/s), download accelerator friendly
* User comments, ratings, favorites, forum
* Full access to Brazzers Network (19 other sites) and 40 bonus sites with streaming content |
| Cons: |
* Small site (only 19 scenes)
* Most models fit the classic porn star look (84% silicon implants and 44% blondes), not much variation
* No high definition video
* No high resolution photos
* Small, opaque watermark in right corner of videos (transparent on photos)
* Category listings have varied accuracy (they do not always include all the scenes they should) |
| Bottom Line: |
Real Wife Stories focuses on sexual fantasies revolving around married women in extramarital relations. The models have the porn star look; happily, the wardrobes aren’t all porn star stock & trade and the site matches the set to the story and has everyone at least adlib lines that make sense.
Good camera work & lighting so everything is easy to see. The models are at ease and adopt their characters while showing off their talents – though overacting is the norm. Nothing here is subtle but the scene setup means it doesn’t need to be. You get different positions with oral sex to start (often for both parties) and the finale is external but the target varies, not just facials.
On the technical side, videos & photos are a bit small for a wealthy network (640x480 | 600x900) but the content is crisp – though in high motion scenes some dithering is visible. Many preview options (trailers, screenshots, matched photo sets) gives a very thorough feel for a scene prior to download.
The site is too small to stand on its own (19 scenes) but since they have already established a tangible theme and done it well it indicates that the site will continue to grow and thrive. As a member of the Brazzers Network it’s a part of tons of content that’s all categorized & searchable. User interaction is great with everything from ratings to a forum at their disposal. Despite its technical limitations, the site’s character and the included network make it nothing short of excellent. |

Agreed! The prices once you start buying multi-month packages from any of the MindGeek networks are so cheap. You quickly start entering Netflix pricing territory.

FYI: To stream their movies at full 1080p, click the little settings button (an icon of three interlocking gears) to the right of the "Download" button. It has four bitrates: TrueLife HD 1080p, HD 720p, SD High 480p, SD Low 360p.
Not sure if that earns them the 1 point to enter the 90s, but I figured I'd point out that streaming isn't necessarily a con. On the flip side, the whole not being able to view a photo at full res without downloading the entire set drives me insane. The entire meta-network (Brazzers, et. al.) does the same thing. So irritating.

Thanks for the quick summary, though I gotta say, Rocco is the man. He's got a helluva lotta personality. And yeah, he is bi, but whatever, he's Italian, so it's OK.
Plus, as for the spitting, stomping and so on - in my experience the only time Rocco didn't do that stuff was when some one else was directing the action. (Anytime he was in an American film he toned it down quite a bit.) Generally his own productions were alway fast-paced, aggressive sex - don't forget that Nacho Vidal was his protégé for quite a while. Hell, his catch phrase was "Nasty, Nasty". As Rocco said: "You might call it rough, I call it fun!"
As for the hellishly expensive and bad video quality, that is sad and I hope that will change.

No, he has many different series - though most of them are shot in a POV format. Usually the series are based on some sort of basic (usually silly) fantasy - babysitter, how to pick up girls, a model shoot that goes a bit farther, so on and so forth. Mr. Moore is pretty amusing so the videos are usually watchable, though frequently odd.
The main issue I had with his site is that it was incredibly confusing to navigate and the video quality was often rather low and only available in segments.

Indeed, and I hardly think a site can request that of its users. You can also just click "View Source" and that combined with the Page Properties will give you the URL your Download Manager needs. Still it is an awful pain-in-the-ass for a what should be a simple matter.
I would love for them to buy a ready-made site design that handles video & photo content, sit down and convert all the DVDs to high-resolution WMVs and be done with it. I would easily give this site a glowing 95 (about as high as I'm willing to go for any site) if they could just make the site user friendly. It is bloody rat maze in there! Plus, my luck as usual, most of the content I want is older content, meaning the video quality is near terrible and downloading is a hair-pulling experience.
Oh well - hopefully sometime in the foreseeable future they will be enlightened and invest the money in a proper website.
Cheers.

| Pros: |
* Most Videos Have Screenshots
* Newest Video Res. 718x404 at 1621kbps
* Newest Video in WMV or MOV
* No DRM
* Download Manager Friendly
* Fast Downloads (1Mbps+)
* Some Matched Photos Sets (avg. 600x900)
* All Content Categorized and Labeled by Model
* Subcategorized Model Index
* Content from 1997 to Present
* Models of Every Type (Body Type and Experience)
* Softcore, Lesbian and Hardcore Content |
| Cons: |
* Older Video Res. 320x240 (Most Video)
* Avg. Video Length 3 ~ 5 min.
* All DVD Excerpts / No Full DVD Downloads
* No Full Length Video
* No Video Zip Files
* Watermark on Video & Photos
* Most Video in MOV
* No Search Engine
* Site Design stuck in the ‘90s
* Confusing, Inconsistent Site Navigation |
| Bottom Line: |
Rodney Moore is content in need of a website: a complete site redesign is in order. The vast majority of the content is in MOV with no easy way of being downloaded (they actually recommends you hunt through your temp. internet files). Newer content allows WMV or MPG downloads. Some sets do have screenshots and many sets have matching photos – but zip files are available only to the newest content.
Granted, there is a ton of content – some dating back to 1997 – over 1000 models. Everything is excerpts from DVDs Rodney Moore has produced. Problem is, often times much of the DVD isn’t available and a full, single file download is out of the question. Video quality & resolution is all over the place – some of the newest is HD – most is small; you usually get professional lighting mixed with amateur cameras with lens vignetting – it is almost bipolar.
A lot of time has been spent on categorizing, there is a good model index and if you just want highlights of a video – this site is for you. However there’s no search engine of any sort.
It pains me not to be able to rank this site high – the content is truly great: outstanding cumshots, a diverse group of models from pure amateurs to seasoned professionals and every body type, lesbian sex, boy/girl sex, et cetera. Production values aside – Rodney Moore has an eye for interesting porn and models. Simply though, the learning curve for the site navigation is so steep that I’d rather rent his DVDs than deal with this site. |

Excellent - thanks for the update! The Flash streaming is wonderful, I first ran across that recently with All Internal and loved it, a great double check before downloading a video.

Ah, that final sentence is one to live by!
That batch downloading feature is certainly a powerful tool - but it brings up an important question about really any content site: Do you really want it all?
What we really need is an A.I. Porn Butler that you can teach your preferences and then quietly finds only the porn you want and presents it to you after you've settled into the study, wearing your smoking jacket and just finished a cigar.

It seems today's progressive porn surfer really does need quite the arsenal of download managers at their finger tips. I must say I'll have to keep IDM in mind for the next time I run into trouble with dTa, which undoubtedly will happen as the internet seems to loathe consistency and complying to standards. I mean Firefox and Internet Explorer can't even agree on how much of CSS 2 they want to support. They even require different commands for some of the same functions - it is bloody ridiculous.
None-the-less, there is a larger field of download managers than ever. So with the wealth of options out there the top tip is to simply keep trying them until you find one that works for whatever problem-child site your trying to wrangle in this week.

You are indeed right, I hadn't noticed that - it appears to only provide file name filters. Well that is certainly a bit of an oversight on their part. Perhaps a later version will remedy that.
Well I'm glad at least Sapphic Erotica isn't intentionally blocking download resume - perhaps there is some odd incompatibility with the download manager. That was the original reason I switched over to DownThemAll! I was getting movies from German Goo Girls and they used one of those annoying "type the characters from this picture" security doodads which meant I couldn't simply give the program the username and password. Since DownThemAll! was within the browser it used the same session id and so on, solved the whole problem. On the same note, I've had some mangers bollocks up the resume ability on certain sites while other mangers would work fine on the same site. It seems like a crapshoot sometimes as to which will work.

I use the Firefox add-on "DownThemAll!" - it is completely integrated with Firefox, so I've found it to be more reliable at catching downloads than other programs like GetSmart or Download Accelerator. It is fully customizable - you can tell it the number of connections, the number of chunks for acceleration, max speeds, file filters and so on. Plus if you end up in the unfortunate situation of a site with thumbnail galleries but no zip files, you can quickly page through the gallery and have DownThemAll! rip the image URLs automatically and pop them in whatever folder you picked. All-in-all it is the best download manager I've used - it is free (though they accept PayPal donations if you are feeling generous) and it is updated pretty regularly.

I usually limit my manager to two simultaneous downloads and only 2 or 3 chunks per download max - some sites can't even manage that... But no resuming, yeesh, that would be rough. Oh well, I hope they get you a useful response.
Cheers.

Have you point-blank asked the support people about it? Usually there is some little trick to allow resuming that they'll know - because not being able to resume a download would really suck for those of us that want to be able to pause a download to free up some bandwidth for a while. (Like for online gaming, for instance.)

Sorry, I didn't make it clear - once you join one of the Kink.com sites, any of them - you can then get 10% off the next site in their network that you join. So you get the discount only for the second and following sites. Again, I think that is the case, it could have changed.

I'm pretty sure Kink provides a 10% break on each site you join after you join one. Not much, but something at least.
One quick question though, do they do full video files, or are the scenes broken up into multiple files? They used to do this on Ultimate Surrender and it would drive me nuts as it screwed with my organizational system, lol.

Good to know! The Canon 5D is a very respectable camera and usually doesn't exhibit that massive amount of noise seen in the high res samples nor the auto focus mishaps. I wish I could afford a camera of such a level. If he is Canon fan, that would no doubt explain the noise produced by the older camera.
So please do update those high res samples! I doubt I'm the only photography freak that would be worried by those. Thanks to your response however, I will be moving the site up to high priority for review as I do like Skokoff's style in choice of models, poses and sets as shown on the preview pages.
Also, it is always nice to see that webmasters do take notice to the site. Cheers!
