I did a review of White Ghetto about a year and a half ago. I gave it a score of 87, not because I liked the site itself, but because I thought the network access was worth a score of 87.
Quoting from my review of White Ghetto (posted 07-06-09):
"-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."
So if you find the models or clips at White Ghetto attractive, then you are one of the other PU members I was talking about. :) (Smiley, friendly, I'm a nice guy).
But at $9.95/month, I think the network is a very good value. A lot of content, a lot of variety, and some interesting clips that should satisfy a wide variety of different tastes, for a very reasonable price.
The navigation could be improved, the search could be improved, but I have been a member of this network several times.
I am still a member of Devils Film, and I get access to all the sites in the network.
The preview pages (tours) at the network sites should really be re-designed and cleaned up to make it easier to see what bonus sites you are getting with a membership to any one site. It would make the potential customer understand what is being offered, and would be a stronger selling point.
At different sites, in the previews, some of the bonus sites are listed. At other sites, none of the bonus sites are listed as a bonus.
The preview section of a pay site is one of the selling points of that site. And this network does a poor job of using their previews.
My guess is that if you do join the network through Silverstone DVD, you will get access to all the network sites.
But to be 100% certain, you should email the network, or Silverstone DVD, to get an official answer.
Rarely, things happen that appear to make little sense. So it could happen that if you join through Silverstone DVD, you could find that it is a standalone site, instead of a gateway to the entire network. But my guess is that if you join through any of the network sites, you currently get access to all the network sites.
I don't understand the thinking behind offering only subpar video quality. TeenMegaWorld network usually offers good to very good quality videos at their different sites. So to open a new site as part of the network, where they only offer low-grade videos, seems foolish. Most people who join, who are aware of the TeenMegaWorld network (or whatever the network is supposed to be called), would expect a good quality video to be offered.
Separately, how much did you pay to join this site? Membership at many of the other sites in the network, or membership through TeenMegaWorld, is $19.95/month.
But PU lists membership for 18FirstSex at $29.95/month.
So did you have to pay the $29.95/month, or were you able to get in at $19.95/month?
Also, how many of the network sites did you get access to by joining through this site? You usually get access to around 20+ sites when you join any one of the TeenMegaWorld sites.

Masturbation used to be called self-abuse. Maybe it still is. The idea behind that is that you are injuring yourself (psychologically?) if you masturbate.
So if you masturbate, you are not respecting yourself as a "normal" person would.
Then again, homosexuality was considered a mental disease when I was growing up. Plenty of people still think of it that way.
And regarding porn, I'm sure many people would consider all porn "degrading and objectifying." Objectifying seems to be some kind of curse word that labels whatever I don't like as "poo poo".
The first 5 answers are all forms of abuse, and are very common. The stud doesn't need to prove how manly he is by abusive behavior. Sometimes I wish the girls would kick the stud in the balls, then get a baseball bat and hit him a few times, and if the guy starts screaming from the pain, the girls should tell the stud to shut the fuck up and enjoy the pain.
Most of the screams of pain (and excitement and arousal) are fake, but sometimes I wonder if the girl is really feeling some pain from the rough treatment.
I go along with Lionheart: if the girl is hot, it doesn't matter what her hair color is. But her hair style, and hair color, could be one more thing to admire about her.
Uma Thurman is a gorgeous woman. But the short black wig she wore in Pulp Fiction made her stand out even more. Melanie Griffith wore a similar black wig in Something Wild, a crime movie that I thought was also good. There's something about going from blonde to short black hair that makes you pay even more attention to a lovely woman.
My guess is that platin is short for platinum blonde. Platinum blonde would be a whitish blonde. Sometimes you will see young children with platinum blonde hair, which might be natural. But most adults with platinum blonde hair are probably dye jobs. And people today are often dyeing the hair of their children, or the kids are doing it themselves, which was not common when I was growing up in the 1950s and 1960s.
I assume the question refers to "regular" movies, not porn movies.
If that's true, then it doesn't matter much to me whether the movie I watch is "wide-screen" or not. Some people seem to think there's a big difference in whether a movie is wide-screen or not, but I'm not one of them.
I watch movies, and porn, on my laptop. Maybe if I watched movies on a big-screen high definition TV, then it would make more of a difference.
Maybe that's part of the tease (when they post a set as nude and it isn't).
More to the point: tease is strongly related to frustration or denial. You want something (nudity, a slow striptease, eroticism, sexuality) and it's slowly revealed or unleashed. Too much too soon and you lose the oomph, the longing, the desire, the slow, languishing buildup.
Tease can be a delight. But I also like to see the whole package (the nudity, or the sex, or whatever the payoff is).
Nice review, covers what seems to be the main points.
Two main strikes against the site for me:
1. Site seems very expensive at around $38/month.
2. I'm not into young-old fetish.
There are other cons you noted, but the high price alone is a deal-breaker for me. Unless there was a lot of really excellent content that was easily accessible, I can't see paying that much money. There are plenty of good sites that cost far less.
You didn't mention bonus sites. With a membership, is this the main or only site? Or do you get access to a bunch of other sites as well?
I know I'm spoiled, but paying $20/month for Met-art, which is a mega-site, makes paying for a smaller site seem very expensive. I like some video network sites, but paying for a limited 1-site membership, unless that site is exceptional, is a poor use of my porn dollars.
There are few limits when it comes to ways people can grab more of your money.
When I bought my first computer, many years ago, I bought it from a mail-order company. The company was out of state, which means it was located in a different state from the one I lived in. I live in the United States. At that time, and it's still the case, out of state sellers did not charge state sales tax (no sales tax from the state of the seller, and no sales tax from the state of the buyer).
But I was charged my state sales tax on the purchase of the PC, by the seller.
In theory, the seller was supposed to turn the "state sales tax" money over to the state I lived in.
On a practical basis, there was no way to check to see if the seller did turn the money over to my state, or just kept the money.
And legally, I believe the seller could keep the "sales tax money", and claim that it was holding the money to turn over to my state. If the matter had ever gone to a court of law.
But my guess is that the "VAT tax" would be kept by the seller, with the intention of turning it over the the British government. This would happen when the seller dies, and goes to heaven, and does pay the British government it's fair share of all revenues.
I just checked, and I am seeing the $19.95/month special price.
But I live in the U.S.
So I guess you are being hit with regional pricing, if the price you see is about $30/month.
I used the PU hot link to go to the site. Did you remember to use the PU hot link?
graymane1777, I'm not saying this situation can't happen in real life. But I think it's far less common than it's portrayed in porn: The younger girl going after the older man.
I knew a guy whose wife left him for another man.
The first guy and his ex-wife had a daughter. After living with the woman, the second man dumps the woman, and married the daughter.
True story.
Actually, I don't think the young girl, or the ex-wife, were chasing after the second man: I think he was the one doing the chasing.
But RustyJ and I are not saying your life is a porno film: If your life really was a porno film, you wouldn't have the time or energy to spend on porno subscriptions. :)
The TBP facts on the site state videos are downloadable, with no DRM.
A comment at PU dated 01-14-10 states the site is streaming only, with no downloads for videos. A reply to that comment, dated 01-30-10, agrees the site is streaming only, and states that according to a reply from support, the site does not intend to offer a download for videos.
So which is it: can you download all, or only some, or none of the site videos?
If the site is streaming only, for some or all of its videos, the facts at TBP should be changed to reflect that.
Score should be an indication of the value of a site. If a site has very little content, even if the content is extremely high quality, then, unless the price is very low, the score should be adjusted to reflect the small amount of content.
The score of a site should reflect:
1. the quality of the site content
2. the amount of the site content
3. the ease/difficulty of accessing the site content
4. the price of the site
5. If the site gives access to other sites, then that should be reflected in the score as well.
6. So I don't believe the score for a site is a precise number set in stone, but a judgment on the part of the reviewer
7. And different people can come up with very different scores for a single site, depending on how they value the site contents, and ease of site access
8. And there can be other factors affecting the score of a site, such as pre-checked cross sells in the signup form, or regional pricing for people living outside the U.S. Which could be considered part of the membership price, or as separate items that can affect the membership price.
This site has been around for a number of years.
It used to be called "Beauty Is Divine".
At that time it was strictly a softcore teen glamor site. There were no videos that I remember.
Most of the models were really stunning.
The problem was that you only had a small number of photosets, and each photoset had a small number of photos.
Then the name of the site changed a few years ago to "X-art".
They started adding videos to the site.
The videos over the last couple of years or so are becoming hardcore.
The videos have a short runtime, 10 minutes or less.
The videos are very high quality (in lighting, focus, high definition, etc.).
The photosets are also becoming not just softcore, but hardcore as well.
I think the photography of the photos is as good as any major photo site, but some PU members have commented they thought the photography at this site was not excellent.
This site is not a mega-site in the amount of photosets and videos. But almost all the models are extremely attractive. And the videos and photosets are extremely high quality.
There are definitely more photosets than videos at this site, but that is because of the site history, when the site was strictly photosets.
The current updates at the site include both photosets and videos.
The preview pages show you nice-sized thumbnails of many of the covers for the site photosets and videos. The preview could be improved by including sample photos, and by a few sample 1-minute videos, so you could get a clear idea of the quality of the photos and videos.
You will probably wish each photoset had more photos, because the models are mainly lovely, and you want to see more of them.
And the videos, at less than 10 minutes each, seem very short. You will almost certainly wish the videos were longer.
If you like the type of photography at this site, I think the
site is well worth at least a 1 month membership.
I'm thinking of taking this comment, and turning it into a site review, because it sure as hell looks like it could have been written as a site review.
