Pros:
-Screenshots illustrate the action in the video clips.
-Screenshots also show what the model looks like.
-No DRM
-No download limits
-Easy logon: enter username and password. Occasionally you might have to enter the secret word, but that is easily read, not heavily disguised
-No inactivity timeout from site
Cons:
-No photosets for picture lovers (video screenshots only)
-A series can be very repetitious. They follow the same script, the female model appears in the same room you saw a different model in, and does the same movements, then the male actor shows up and the sex is very similar.
-The site contents and site variety is smaller than the main sites in this network. This is a site for "hairy" models, models who have some pubic hair. But the site needs more content and variety in the video clips
-The video quality of the clips is ok to good, but the value of the clips is small. There are clips with more excitement or interest at other sites in the network
-Most content is non-exclusive. You can see most of the video clips at this site on other sites at the same network.
Bottom Line:
Site has limited content:
Movies 118
Total size 46 GB
compare the stats above to Devilsfilm:
movies 1,000+
total size 2,400 GB
This site is for those PU members who prefer models with some pubic hair. This is a site in the netFameSolutions network, where you get 19 sites for 1 membership price.
The basic site layout is the same for almost all sites in this network. I personally like pubic hair in the female model, but that was not enough for me to enjoy this site very much, because there are other network sites that have content that is larger and more varied, and the quality is as good or better than what is found here.
The model while having sex often appears as excited as if she is waiting for her pot pie to bake in the oven. Maybe if I moaned and groaned along with the model, it might increase my enjoyment, but then I have to worry what my neighbors might think. They might think I was having a heart attack or some other kind of physical or mental problem.
One way to easily improve the videos at this site would be to shoot the sound editor. Many of the models are continuously moaning and groaning with fake excitement, and it seriously detracts from any enjoyment you might have in watching these video clips. The male actors also tend to make a lot of fake-sounding moans and groans.
My bottom line is that this is a site with ice-cold girls and limited content. Am I being overly harsh? The technical specs/quality of the video clips is mainly ok to good for this site, as is true for most sites in this network. But the excitement factor, the personal enjoyment factor you get from watching the clips at this site, is at the boredom level. Even though a few of the models might be attractive, if they are just going through the motions of sex in a mechanical way, with their obviously fake moans and groans, I don't think the clips have much value.
I've seen clips (at other sites) where the gimmick is that the girl is supposedly sleeping and the guy has sex with her. In those clips, there was more erotic content, more excitement, partially because you didn't hear the obviously fake moans and groans from the "sleeping" girl, and partially because it's simpler for the girl to act like she's asleep than to act like she's enjoying the sex she is having with the guy who is bonking her.
Even though a girl has a pretty face and a nice body, maybe the guy should ignore her and screw the door knob or the keyhole instead.
Better yet, the girl could use the doorknob if she found it more attractive than the guy.
This site is one of the less valuable in the network. Glance through this site only after you've checked out the more important sites such as roccosiffredi, devilsfilm, silverstoneDVD and peternorth.
I am giving this site a score of 70. If the site was not part of a nice network, the score would be much lower.
Thanks, Lionheart. There are people like Drooler and Toadsith who write excellent reviews. I've got a long way to improve before I get to be anywhere close to them as writers.
Thanks. I don't have a lot of experience in porn videos. This was the first time I saw Rocco Siffredi, that I know of. Some of his videos are really interesting and good quality. Of course, you watch a lot of them, especially some of his series, they do get a little repetitive. But there are some videos at his site that I thought were extremely good, better than anything I've seen elsewhere.
If you ever join this network, which has 19 different sites, this site is definitely worth looking over. It's just a question of how much time you want to spend going thru the different videos to find what you think is worthwhile.
But there are several sites in the network that I thought had some really worthwhile videos: peternorth.com
devilsfilm
silverstoneDVD
roccosiffredi
PU/TBP has a special price of $14.95/month for the network. But if you're lucky, you might find an even cheaper offer somewhere.

Pros:
-No DRM
-No download limits
-Advertises exclusive blue ray quality high definition content
-Rocco Siffredi vintage movies are included
-Online store will sell exclusive clothes so you can dress the way Rocco Siffredi dresses (same T-shirts and caps. But this appears to be a product in the planning stage)
-At the Rocco Siffredi online store, you can buy DVDs featuring Rocco, sex toys, herbs for men and women, lingerie for women.
-Movie options:
--Streaming in low and high quality;
--Download in low and high quality.
--Also have screenshots and a trailer to illustrate the clip.

Cons:
PROS (continued):
Site stats (continued):
-Total size: 307 GB
Sample stats from some of the high-definition videos:
length: 8-35 minutes
bit rate: 2147-2212 kbps
dimensions 720x400-720x480
-I would have thought the bit rate and dimensions would be much higher, because of the statement that there was blue ray quality high definition content. However, I did think the visual quality was very good on some videos
CONS:
-Watermark larger than needed, lower right corner
-Large file size of high quality video. A single file can be 500 MB or more, but this is
great video, and if you have to buy another hard drive to store these files, it's worth the money. -Because these are large files, need fast internet connection to watch high-definition streaming or to download.
-Files download as WMV format only.
-Sometimes the videos are slightly out of focus.
Bottom Line:
BOTTOM LINE:
High quality videos of some lovely, yummy models. A real treat. I'm sorry I didn't find this site in the network earlier. This is the best site in the network of 19 sites.
First video I saw at this site, the girl was really cute, the action seemed real, not acted. Video looks high definition, very good lighting, very good colors, model did not speak or understand English that well, especially with Rocco Siffredi's strong accent, but she was a love, not a porn star. It was like looking at a gorgeous high-quality met-art picture come to life, hard-core action, but not dirty, even though what the girl was doing was pure hard-core. This is the best quality hard-core video site I've seen so far, with ok to nice-looking to very attractive models, good acting, few or no fake-sounding moans and groans by the model, often no music soundtrack (which is a real plus, considering the noisy music soundtracks on porno clips).
Quality of videos varies a lot. Some videos are just ok, some are really nice to great (I'm talking about how much I like the videos, which is a subjective reaction, but there are videos here that deserve to be classics).
Some PU members rave about the great quality of the Femjoy photoshoots and videos. That is softcore. This is great quality hardcore video. Rocco could be less intrusive, but you get to watch lovely women having a sexual experience.
Some videos are erotic/artistic. This is hardcore, but with real value that is more than
just crude or dirty sex. There are good-to-very-good looking models, good-to-great quality
video, some interesting storylines/concepts for the sex.
This site deserves a 90 for itself alone, and you get a lot of additional nice material from the other sites on this network. This site is really outstanding, and I don't understand why other PU members haven't been singing its praises. I think Met-art is the best softcore site I've seen for teen glamor photos, and this is the best hardcore site I've seen so far for quality videos.
Drooler, I wouldn't mind reading one of your reviews on Met-art. You usually manage to come up with something worthwhile to say.
Mbaya posted a couple of days ago that "The reviewers I respect the most are Exotics and Gcode. I feel their reviews are simply awe inspiring and wish I could write as well. The two reviewers I find most helpful as their tastes are similar to mine are Drooler and Denner."
I would put Drooler and Toadsith at the top of my list for the reviewers I respect the most. Though some other PU members come close.
It continuously surprises me how much personal tastes can differ.
I was thinking the models of the last year were not up the the previous standards of attractiveness. There were a good percentage of lovely young girls in the past, and I've found very few that I really liked this past year.
We agree on the videos, though, but I don't know what they can do, since Met-art is strictly softcore. I find that Femjoy videos are more watchable than Met-art videos, but not by much.
If the videos went very high-definition, that might help a little. Better music background would help a little. But the main problem is the girls don't do much of anything: they walk, they sit, they lay down, stand up. If there was some story to the video, that would help, but these girls are not actresses. And the photo people are not writers that would be able to write a short plot that makes sense and holds interest.
I'm getting up there in age, and I don't remember what my first paysite was, to tell the truth. Before I joined my first paysite, I used to look at free photos of Playboy playmates on the Internet. I guess old Hef is the one who led me down that garden path.
Some of the older playmates from the 1970s and 1980s were special. Far better than what they are choosing for the 2000+ playmates. The older ones seemed more real, less plastic. I'm sure there were a number of boob jobs and whatnot back then, but it was less obvious.

Pros:
-Some very attractive models
-OK to nice quality video clips
-Nice sized thumbnail screenshots that clearly show the action for each video clip
-Thumbnails also clearly show the model(s) in each video clip
-No DRM
-No download limits
-large number of video clips
-no automatic timer cutoff from site
Cons:
-watermark: slightly bigger than needed, in bottom right corner of vids
-search engine is pretty basic:
--can only search by 1 of 4 factors: DVD title;category(eg, anal, blowjob);series(from the studio);model name
--there are much more selective search engines at other sites that will search on a combination of factors, and by much more specific factors than the search engine here
-many of the clips have an "intro" section where it sets up the sex action to follow. They are trying to make the clips more than just a straight sex clip, but these are basically
straight sex clips with a tiny story and acting that is really amateurish.
Bottom Line:
This site is part of the netFameSolutions network.
Membership in any one site includes access to 19 different sites:
-over 1500 movies
-over 500 full DVDs
-some exclusive content
-daily updates
video specs (approximate, can vary from clip to clip)
bit rate: 2148
dimensions: 720x480
That is ok to good video quality, but not hi-definition quality some PU members want
But the videos are professionally shot: mainly ok to good focus, good editing, ok to good colors for skin of models and sets (except where they get fancy and try for special effects thru color); acting is porno standard amateur acting, but fewer fake moans and groans of passion than many porn clips but still overdone, soundtrack music less jarring than many porn clips but does not add to the clip value PeterNorth.com and PeterNorthDVD.com are both sites in the same netFameSolutions network.
It appears that the main reason for 2 peter north sites instead of 1 is a marketing decision, because both sites appear to be essentially the same.
Most of the the DVD material of both sites appears to be the same clips.
Both sites have the same site design: same search engine, same way of presenting the different DVD clips, same Guestbook, same Ask A Question, same other features as well. PeterNorth.com number of movies 2010;number of DVDs 325 PeterNorthDVD.com number of movies 1858;number of DVDs 313
A nice addition to each of the Peter North sites would be a complete model listing where they show a nice-sized thumbnail of each model, with the video clips that feature her, with the basic clip data for each: size(MB) and length of time.
For the network as a whole (all 19 sites), I am giving the network a score of 87. There is a wide variety of niches to see at the different sites, with a large number of attractive models in nicely-shot video clips.
For the PeterNorthDVD.com site by itself, I can't really assign a specific value, because most of the value comes from the network of 19 sites, and not this specific site by itself.
Solid review with nice details and opinions.
But if you were able to get through the massive photo content of this site in three months, you must have been spending a huge amount of time here. And that's if you skipped the video content, which I think is almost all skippable, anyway. :)
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he photoshops his pictures. The man is now 52, and he is the main selling point for his web sites and DVDs. So he definitely wants to look as good as possible, and if photoshop will make him look better in his photographs, why not?
He definitely has a lot of ego. But he is a porn star, and part of that means selling himself. Major movie stars have to sell themselves as well, when they promote their films. It's part of the business.
I admit my review was poking fun at his ego, a bit, but he does deserve respect for apparently making such a financial success of himself in the porn industry. He has not only acted in over 1600 titles, but he is also a porn director and producer. He also promotes/pitches products, which is what major movie and TV stars like Cher have done.
If you join a network with one of his sites included as a bonus, you might want to look through the DVD clips offered. Peter North has been acting in porn since the 1980s, and he's acted with a huge number of attractive models. He does not come across as an egotistic jerk in his videos.
He is a workout buff, and is proud of his body. But that is also self-promotion, and smart. I personally think that some of the promotion is overdone, but some fans are impressed by all of this. He is famous for having a large penis (in length and girth), famous for the large amount of cum he produces, and how far it shoots. His fans are both male and female. The female fans want to be on the receiving end of his sex, and the male fans want to be like him.
Separately, I gave his site a score of 87. That score is based on the network value of all 19 sites in the network, and not just on the single value of this individual PeterNorth site. If I was rating this PeterNorth site as a single, stand-alone site, my score would have been lower.
I tried to make that clear, in the BOTTOM LINE of my review, that I was scoring the site for its "network as a whole score, not as a single site by itself score". If my score was misinterpreted as a score for this site by itself, I apologize.
There might be fans who would rate this PeterNorth site by itself as an 87, but I'm not that crazy about him. I'm more into the female models he is bonking. :)
Separate from the site or network score (although related), I do try, when writing a site review, to mention some of the positive and negative aspects of the site I am reviewing.
In the case of White Ghetto, the major positive factor is that it is part of a nice network. I searched really hard to find something positive to say about the site. :)
On the negative side, other than I didn't like any of the models or the video clips or anything else about the site, I tried to say it in an intelligent way. But I'm afraid that it mainly came out as "I just don't like this site".
So I'm glad that I finished with my review of that site, and will hopefully focus more on sites that are easier for me to enjoy.
But the truth is that a site score has limited value. What is more important, on an individual basis, is whether the site caters to your personal tastes. My tastes are mainly softcore. I don't mind some hardcore, but I would like it to be good-looking or glamorous or nice. I don't like rough.
Site content (quality and quantity) and ease of use and price are the main factors in determining score, for me. My approach is different than the TBP approach, which does not consider price. But those are the factors which are important to me. Price does matter.
But I do try (and hope) that my reviews will have some usefulness or value to a PU member who might read the review, as an indicator of whether a site might be worth a membership or not. Based on individual tastes, of course. For a lot of PU members, my personal tastes are far too softcore.
I am not following the PU suggestion of rating an individual site that is part of a network as an individual site.
Instead, I am rating the overall network of sites.
I have reviewed several different sites in this netFameSolutions network, and I gave the same score to each site. Each site has a different individual value, but most of the value comes from the ability to access all the sites in the network, to access all the videos (and pictures, which are a minor part of this network).
I explained in each separate review in the BOTTOM LINE (summary) section the basis of my score: that I was not giving the site a score based on the value of the site itself, but on the network of the sites.
Perhaps I did not make that point clear enough.
You are entirely correct that, if I was thinking consistently, based on the negatives I reported about this individual site, my score would have been far lower than the 87 I gave the site--if I was rating the site on an individual basis. But I am not rating the site on an individual basis, but on a network basis.
I wrote at the end of this review: "I'm giving this site a score of 87 for its network value. As a stand-alone site, this site personally has zero value for me. But tastes vary. Some PU members might find it worthwhile to visit."
Technically, I am being too hard when I say the site has zero value, but I basically regard this site as a waste of time for me, personally.
But I wrote in this review, "I'm giving this site a score of 87 for its network value". What I meant was that the network of sites has a score of 87, even though this individual site has, for me, little or no value. Individual tastes vary, so maybe some people will enjoy at least some of the video clips.
Sorry to write such a long explanation to a simple remark, but I am trying to explain clearly what I meant when I said I was giving this site a "network score", instead of a score as an individual site.

Pros:
-no DRM
-no download limits
-search engine: can search by movie title, category, series, or model
-visual quality of the videos is ok to good
-advertises exclusive content
-updates each day with one video scene/clip
-White Ghetto niches:
--squirting
--curry (models are supposed to be Indians from India)
--transsex
The site also has videos of older men with young women, lesbians, heavy MILFs, heavy models, older women (I think of MILFs as women in their 30s or 40s, but this site has videos of women in their 50s+), etc.
Cons:
-Files download as WMV files only, no other format available
-Personal taste varies, but the models that are supposed to be from India, are not attractive. I've seen gorgeous Indian models, but these models are not good-looking.
-The same for the transsex models: they are mainly on the plain-to-less-than-plain side of looks.
-Actually, I looked at vid caps of every single model at the site, and I did not find a single model that I thought really attractive. The best that could be said for any of them is that some of them are OK looking.
-I did not download a single video clip from this site.
-That is my personal taste. Maybe other PU members might find some of the models attractive, or the action interesting or exciting or whatever.
Bottom Line:
White Ghetto is part of the netFameSolutions network of 19 sites. Access to any one site gives you access to all 19 sites. The PU/TBP special price is $14.95/month recurring, which is a nice discount from the $29.95/month recurring regular price. The network has some very nice sites, some sites that have less value, and some sites that have very little value.
"White Ghetto Films was built on one principle; give the fans what they want!" That is a nice idea, but what this site serves is not my cup of tea.
This site is built on non-glamor models, non-glamor sex. If you like a little kink in your sex (like squirting or transsexual) or favor plain-looking models or heavy models or older models, you might enjoy some of the videos at this site.
I'm giving this site a score of 87 for its network value. As a stand-alone site, this site personally has zero value for me. But tastes vary. Some PU members might find it worthwhile to visit.

Pros:
-This site focuses entirely on facials: girl gives blowjob, guy finishes off shooting onto her face.
-There are a large number of video clips of this content. Currently 822 clips.
-easy logon to site
-no timer cutoff from site
-no DRM
-no download limits
-video clips are short, most from 4-10 minutes
-video clips are ok to nice quality
-sample specs for video clips:
--bit rate: 2115
--dimensions: 720x480
Cons:
-Very basic navigation
-What information do they give in the clip listing?:
--sometimes model in clip is listed, sometimes not
--size of clip (MB) is listed
--number of vid caps illustrating clip is listed
That's all the information you get. To search thru these clips, you have to look at the vid caps, or play clip itself
-Do not give title of clip (what porno DVD title clip came from or the scene #)
-Do not give length of clip (playtime for the clip)
-Many times, do not give name of model in the clip
-No date for when clip was made
-Some PU members want high-quality video. Don't get that here.
-No search engine to navigate site
Bottom Line:
CONS (continued):
-can not search by name of model, or any other factor. Have to visually look thru the clips, which have 6 sample screen caps each. If you want to examine clip more closely to see if it's worthwhile, then can click thru to examine the additional screen caps, or click thru to see the clip streaming. But to see the click streaming, takes 2 mouse clicks; need 2 mouse clicks to see the additional screen caps. A lot of work and time and effort to try to examine the site contents of short-length video clips.
-It is difficult to organize downloaded clips on your PC because of lack of DVD title and scene #, and for many clips, lack of model name. Most of these clips are short, many about 4-10 minutes, so they are only partial scenes, unlike most DVD clips from other sites which are entire scenes usually lasting approximately 16 minutes.
BOTTOM LINE:
-A lot of attractive female models, late teens or early 20s, very little tatoos, very little piercings
-the male models that appear with the females are usually nice-looking guys in their late teens or 20s, usually clean-cut.
This is part of the netFameSolutions network, where you get 19 sites for 1 membership price.
There are some member sites that might be worth joining as a stand-alone site: Devilsfilm SilverstoneDVD PeterNorth
You get the really nice sites, and the other sites can be considered bonus material, when you join the network.
This site focuses almost entirely on the blowjob that ends in a facial. Even though there are plenty of young, attractive models in the video clips, the action gets repetitious after a while. Personally, I would really enjoy a little variety in the action. Add a nice search engine, add a listing for each clip that includes the name of the model, the DVD title and scene # the clip came from, the time length of the video clip, the date the clip was made, and the site would be much easier to use.
Giving the site a score of 87 for the value of the network. As a solo site, in spite of a large number of short clips that are ok-to-nice quality, with nice-looking models, there's too much work involved in trying to organize or view the clips in a non-random way. As a solo site this would score in the 50s.

Pros:
advertises
-tons of DVDs
-some exclusive content
-unlimited downloads
-no DRM
-male porn star who was born for porn. Although a lot of his ability to cum so much is due to genetics, Peter North has worked with doctors to develop a new male enhancement product called Virilix. This is the first porn paysite that I've found that will allow me to increase my ejaculation volume. By studying the cum shots on the peternorth.com site, and taking his Virilix product religiously, fellow PU members will be able to shoot across the room (and hit the opposite wall?) to impress their foxy chicks. Peter North writes in the style of the old-time barkers in a carnival sideshow. :)
-Peter North also has a FAQ sheet that gives tips on getting girls: "Just be yourself and don't try too hard and don't talk about yourself too much. Also, try to have a sense of humor and don't be intimidated. A girl likes a guy with confidence, but not too much confidence, that he comes across cocky."
Cons:
PROS (continued):
-Site has a journal section of the life of this legendary porn star. Shows exciting pictures of Peter North with lots of beautiful women at different sites and events. The heads of many of the women (and some men) are blurred out. But the journal shows that Peter North lives a life of glamor and excitement and meets many beautiful women.
-There are pictures of Peter North's F430 Ferrari, that will thrill any PU member who gets
to see this expensive automobile. "One of the cars I own is the F430 Ferrari which just happens to be my favorite car so of course I had to have it. You probably noticed that I definitely have a passion for cars."
-There are also pics of Peter's Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG that he had modified into a 750+ horsepower beast with high performance brakes.
-You can submit email questions to Peter North. Supposedly, he personally will answer questions every week.
-There is a "guestbook", where adoring fans can leave messages stating their love
Bottom Line:
PROS (continued):
and admiration for the fabulous porn star Peter North. Some of the love messages from female fans are quite explicit.
-A membership to PeterNorth.com means you can skip your Playboy fees, and concentrate on adoring this real cocksman who has glamor, style, and an incredible body with the parts and endurance of a superman and the mind-set of a Hollywood hooker.
-Whitney Houston sings, "The greatest love of all is self-love". Peter North discovered this for himself long before he heard Whitney sing about it.
CONS:
-This is a site for Peter North fans. If you aren't a Peter North fan, some of the written material about this guy's self-promotion might make you gag a little.
-The TBP girls seem to be true Peter North fans. Both TBP female reviewers, Vanessa and Maggie, mention as a negative factor in their reviews that some videos don't feature Peter North. Given the large number of video clips on this site, I personally don't need to see every video featuring this porn star. I am far more interested in the female models than in Peter North.
-TBP reviewer Vanessa wrote in her 10-15-2008 review that Peter's live chat is coming soon. The site itself has a popup baloon that Peter's live chat is coming soon. But it's now July 5, 2009, and the live chat is still "coming soon". So don't hold your breath.
-Search and navigation are basic. Could be easier. This is true for all sites of this network. A simple model index, with a nice-sized thumbnail of each model, alongside a listing of her video clips, would make navigation/search a lot easier.
-Navigation is basic. Would be nice if you could search the DVD clips more easily.
video quality is ok, not high definition:
sample video specs:
bit rate: 2212 kbps
dimensions: 720x480
BOTTOM LINE:
This is part of the netFameSolutions network, where you get 19 sites for 1 membership price.
The special monthly price of $14.95 offered thru PU/TBP is very attractive for someone who does not have an extensive porn DVD background. The clips at the different sites are mainly good quality, professionally shot DVD porn clips. These are not high quality videos that some PU members want, but ok-to-good quality video clips. There is a very limited amount of photosets available thru this network. The relatively few photosets are ok quality, not high-quality. Most of the photos available are video caps that serve to give you an idea of the action of each video clip.
The video clips at PeterNorth.com and the other sites are straight sex clips, with little to no plot.
There is a large amount of content at the network: over 500 DVDs. Network offers different
niches: teen, lesbian, MILF, Indian, hairy models, granny, individual models (Silvia Saint, Tera Patrick), etc. Peter North does get a lot of attractive models in his video clips.
I'm giving this site an 87 rating because of the network value. Most of the value is due to the network, and not this single site.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-This is one of the few sites in the network that has photosets worth looking at.
-Quality of the photosets not up to hi-quality standards of sites like met-art or femjoy, but these are decent photosets that a fan of silvia saint would probably enjoy.
-Has solo photosets of Silvia Saint, also girl-girl photosets with Silvia Saint, a few sets where there is a guy in the set, but the guy is an afterthought, almost like a dildo
-Uses toys (dildo) in the girl-girl photosets (depending on personal taste, that might be a pro or a con)
-updates: a new video scene every 3 days
-silvia saint is very attractive: great face, great body
-video clips try to add a little story to the sex, but plot is minimal, this is a straight sex clip. The acting is amateur
-video quality is, for newer DVD clips, just ok. Some PU members want high-quality video clips, which you won't get here
-specs for newer DVDs:
-bitrate 2115 kbps
-dimensions 720x480
Cons:
PROS (continued):
-easy login. Username and password required. Don't usually require secret word. If a secret word is required, it is easily read, not heavily distorted like some sites that make a real guessing game what the secret word is supposed to be
-no inactivity timeout from site
-updates: every 1-4 days. Very irregular update schedule, but this is part of a nice network, and for a single site as part of a large network, this site is updated with a video scene or photoshoot once every 1-4 days, which is nice.
-clips download as choice of small or big size in one format, WMV
-Network access allows access to 19 sites (this is for network, of which this site is part of):
-1500 movies
-more than 500 full DVDs
-exclusive content
-unlimited download
-updated every day
-DRM: no
CONS:
-no zips for the photosets
Bottom Line:
CONS (continued):
-clips download as WMV files, no other format
-1 size for the photosets, don't have a choice of low, medium and high resolution photos
-watermark. yes. size of watermark: larger than necessary. Placed in bottom right corner
-date video clip made not posted. Many of the video clips were made years ago, but there
is no date posted for when the video clip was made
-older clips can be lower quality, somewhat blurry, out of focus (Sorry, Denner, I see why you are complaining about the video quality of some clips)
-viewing can be a problem even for some of the newly posted video clips, This is the first site of the network where I had a real problem watching some clips. The clip might be slightly out of focus, or worse, and I could feel real eye-strain, almost like my eyes wanted to get cross-eyed, or like I was slightly drunk. I'm not making a joke.
One clip like this is:
2678_03_big.wmv
titled: "Private Penthouse Greatest Moments #01 Scene: #3"
Posted to site: 2009-06-23
BOTTOM LINE:
-The main attraction of this site is Silvia Saint, a porn star with a lovely face and lovely body. Not a great actress. Born on February 12, 1976, in Czechoslovakia. She was Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1996 (Czech edition).
-I don't know if she is making any new porn films. She announced her retirement from porn on March 19, 2001, but continued to make girl-girl scenes after 2001.
-For her fans, this is a solid site, with a lot of Silvia Saint material: DVDs and photosets. DVD clips are not high quality, but mainly watchable. Photos are not high quality, but OK to look at, with Silvia in solo and girl-girl sets. I wish the DVD quality was better visually. Wish the photos were higher quality. Wish the DVDs and photos were dated as to when they were actually made. Would really be nice if you could look at the DVDs and photos and sort them by date made
-Navigation is ok, could be improved. Should be easier to scan/glance thru the DVDs and photosets on offer here
-My understanding is that the updates of Silvia Saint video clips are from old DVD material, that there is no new Silvia Saint DVD material being made
-As part of a nice network, I regard this site as bonus material. Give the site 87 for value of the network, not the site itself. I liked Devilsfilm and SilverstoneDVD sites of this network much better
Thanks for clearing that up. I keep learning that people can get turned on (or off) by almost anything. I've seen a porn site where the turn-on was a girl picking her nose (for snot). Ugh. But that's certainly not the worst that could happen, I suppose. Lol.
Drooler, bittersweet memories are part of life's lesson. There will always be the next great porn site with fabulous models to lust after. Remember to keep up the good fight, and help us discover those great softcore sites.
(But don't report too many at one time, because my porn dollars are severely limited.)
Language can be strange. In America (the U.S)., straight, when referring to sexual orientation, means heterosexual.
But this is a British gay site. So what the word "straight" means here, I don't know. The site itself advertises "all straight". I doubt these are supposed to be heterosexual models that gay men are supposed to lust after. But maybe that's a niche I've never heard of before.
I joined about the same time as you, for the 2-for-1 pricing of $29.95 for 60 days. I have not been rebilled yet, but the offer specified that the renewal price was $29.95 for every 60 days.
I never got an email confirming my membership, or the price that I was supposed to pay, but I did get access to the site the same day I signed up.
Video clips at SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm download as WMV files.
There are 2 file sizes for each clip: small and big.
I downloaded the big file size.
Tech specs for the video clips (at both SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm):
(for the big file size WMV download):
bit rate 2115 kbps
dimensions 720x528
Sample femjoy specs:
bit rate 7259 kbps
dimensions 1280x720
The femjoy bit rate varies from clip to clip, but is much higher than what you get at the DVD sites.
(I would have added this to my first reply, but the message can't be edited past 10 minutes.)
Some people can enjoy being frustrated.
Some people enjoy the tease.
But satisfaction is the best. :)
That's why I go for the nude sites.
And with the nude mega-sites, there are a large variety of very attractive girls, which is what I focus on. Single-model sites, unless the model is absolutely fantastic, are too expensive. I only have a limited number of porn dollars, so sites like met-art, mplstudios, justteensite, mypreciousvirgins are where I usually spend my cash.
Quality of clips:
I am not an expert like Toadsith, so I can't give the technical aspects of the DVD clips, or the expert's appraisal of the clips. I am giving an average viewer's response to video clips (who has some, but not extensive experience in viewing porn clips).
If you've been a member of justteensite, justteenmovie, or femjoy, you will have seen extremely clear, clean videos. I am talking about visually. They have the highest quality in terms of clarity and detail, almost like high-quality photos.
The video clips at SilverstoneDVD and DevilsFilm are not as high quality visually as the videos at Femjoy, justteensite, and justteenmovie. I remember reading one post at PU that explains that DVD clips are not visually as high quality as the video clips at some special sites because of economic reasons (it's cheaper to shoot lower quality clips because of the video camera cost and maybe other reasons).
The high def video is listed as 1280x720 at justteensite and justteenmovie.
The femjoy, justteensite and justteenmovie clips I saw were softcore, which is apart from the quality of the clip.But the clips were made for those sites, not as part of a DVD. SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm are hardcore clips, made for a DVD market. So that explains why the visual clarity is not as high.
I saw a large number of clips at SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm, and thought they were good or decent quality, not high quality, but good. I did not see any clips that were visually mediocre as in milky or blurred. These are professionally shot clips, no jerky camera shots, fairly good editing (editing could be improved, the entire clip could be improved, but what do you expect from a porno DVD?).
These are straight sex clips, with almost no story.
Production values are not great, but the colors are good: for the skin colors of the models, for the colors of the settings.
I did not examine all the clips. For me to look at a clip,
1. I look at the model in the clip: Is the attractive? If not, skip the clip.
2. If the model is attractive, I watch the streaming clip, to see if the sex is stupid, is the moaning and groaning too annoyingly fake, the background music too loud or jangly.
3. I download and save the clips I like. To see them again later.
All the clips I saw had good, not mediocre, viewing-quality.
There are at least some models at SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm that are really attractive. The clips would be improved if they had some story, some teasing, sex that was less mechanical, better acting by the model, less fake moaning and groaning by the female and male models (but the moaning and groaning is less than in many porn clips), better background music, softer background music, and the entire clip could be improved. But at least you get some clips of attractive girls that are watchable.
Visually, these are good-quality hardcore clips.
