Check you inbox for promo offering of $5 for the first month of Hard X.
I've never been a member, but lately, it seems I've been getting a lot of promo offers from sites to join for $5 for the first month.
Don't know if this is a sign of desperation, or if the hard economic times are still continuing for the porn sites.
Babes Network is a much better choice, because it has so much more material.
Some porn companies start or run different sites, even though there might be little difference in the style of the content, as a way of generating more sales, more money.
There is no difference in the style of 18 Only Girls and Young Legal Porn, which are run by the Diesel network. In fact, the photoset of a video shoot might appear at one site, and the accompanying video might appear at the other site. And in the past, but not currently, material that appeared at one site sometimes migrated to the other site.
Wow Girls, even though it's marketed separately from the Diesel network, has the same style of content, even the same models, as 18 Only Girls and Young Legal Porn. Any of the content at one of those 3 sites could have been posted at any of the other 2 sites.
It's purely a marketing decision, splitting the content between the 3 sites, as a way to make more money.
But the main preview page appears to be slightly misleading.
The main preview page shows 126 nice-sized thumbnails. And there is a popup over each thumbnail which says, "HD, Play Movie", "100% Full 1080p Resolution".
So you would normally think that there would be 126 videos, instead of 11+ videos.
Maybe the site is looking ahead, to what they will have in the future, instead of what they have currently.
But you would never know that the site only has 11+ videos, from the preview pages.
Are there any bonus sites that come with a membership? TBP doesn't list any bonus sites.
And if there is not a nice selection of bonus sites, then a site that is apparently this small might not be worth even a 1-month membership.
Current Member for over 6 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
NOTE: I AM USING CAP LETTERS, BECAUSE IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO READ AND WRITE.
-NORMALLY I CONSIDER ADVERTISEMENTS FOR OTHER PAYSITES AS A NEGATIVE.
HOWEVER, SOME OF THE ADS FOR OTHER MEMBERSHIPS ARE EXTREMELY CHEAP.
I ONCE SAW A NEW SENSATIOS AD FOR METART AT AROUND $8/MONTH. THAT'S THE LOWEST PRICE I'VE EVER SEEN FOR THAT SITE.
CURRENTLY, THEY HAVE AN AD FOR METART AT $9.90/MONTH. WHICH IS A VERY LOW PRICE COMPARED TO ANY OTHER OFFERS I'VE SEEN.
-JOINING ANY SITE IN THE NETWORK GIVES YOU ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE NETWORK.
THERE ARE NO PREMIUM SITES WHICH YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR.
-JOINING ANY SITE IN THE NETWORK GIVES YOU ACCESS TO A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CONTENT:
-OVER 6,500 VIDEOS, WITH MATCHING GALLERIES.
-THE NETWORK MODELS ARE MAINLY ATTRACTIVE. THEY ARE MAINLY LATE TEENS, EARLY TWENTIES. THERE IS MORE VARIETY IN BODY STYLE THAN MOST TEEN SITES: YOU GET THE REGULAR SKINNY TEEN, BUT ALSO MEDIUM SIZED GIRLS AND EVEN SOME HEAVIER GIRLS AT THE NETWORK.
PROS CONTINUE IN THE NEXT SECTION BELOW;
Cons:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-THE GIRLS AT HEAVY HANDFULS ARE MEDIUM- TO LARGE-SIZED. THE FOCUS IN ON BIG BOOBS.
-OFFERS MULTIPLE BIT-RATES FOR STREAMING.
-OFFERS MULTIPLE FILE TYPES, DEFINITIONS, BIT-RATES FOR DOWNLOAD.
CONS (START OF):
-PRE-CHECKED CROSS-SALE ON JOIN PAGE.
-MOST OF THE SITES IN THE NETWORK ARE NON-GLAMOR SITES. SO THE MODELS, IN SPITE OF BEING MAINLY ATTRACTIVE, ARE NOT MADE UP (WITH MAKE-UP, COSTUMES, LIGHTING, ETC.) TO APPEAR THEIR MOST BEAUTIFUL, BUT ARE PRESENTED IN A MORE NATURAL, EVERY-DAY STYLE.
-IRREGULAR UPDATE RATE FOR THE SITE. BUT THE NETWORK UPDATES WEEKLY. AND THERE IS A TON OF CONTENT AT THE NETWORK.
-NON-SECURE LOG-IN.
Bottom Line:
THE SITE THEME IS BIG-BREASTED WOMEN.
THE SEX ACTION IS VARIED: MAINLY COUPLES, BUT THE GUYS MAKE FULL USE OF THE MODEL'S PARTS: MOUTH, BREASTS, PUSSY, ASS.
SITE STATS: CURRENTLY, 292 VIDEOS (WITH MATCHING GALLERIES).
MOST OF THE NETWORK SITES GIVE A BACKSTORY LEADING UP TO THE SEX.
BUT AT HEAVY HANDFULS, THE SCRIPT IS MORE DIRECT: STRAIGHT HARDCORE.
WHY WASTE TIME TALKING WHEN YOU CAN SKIP TO THE GOOD PART (SUCKING AND FUCKING)?
IF YOU HAVE A THING FOR BIG BOOBS, THIS SITE IS A GOOD BET.
AND BECAUSE OF NETWORK ACCESS, YOU GET A BOATLOAD OF HARDCORE VIDS ON DIFFERENT NICHES, FROM THE OTHER SITES.
THE VIDEOS STREAM SMOOTHLY AT THE SITE.
I CAN'T COMMENT CURRENTLY ON THE DOWNLOAD SPEEDS, BECAUSE MY ROUTER AND/OR LAPTOP IS HAVING SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES. BUT IN THE PAST, I'VE USUALLY GOTTEN AROUND 2 TO 3 MB/SEC DOWNLOAD SPEEDS FROM THE SITE AND NETWORK. AT THAT TIME MY ISP CONNECTION WAS 50 Mbps.
I'M GIVING THE SITE A SCORE OF 85. THAT IS BECAUSE OF NETWORK ACCESS, WHICH HAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF GOOD-QUALITY VIDEOS AND PHOTOS.
THE SITE AND NETWORK IS EASY TO USE. NO DEAD LINKS. NICE MODEL LISTING, WITH GOOD-SIZED THUMBNAIL OF EACH MODEL.
BUT THE SEARCH IS BASIC.
Hegre (and a lot of other sites) running discounts for holidays.
A lot of fine (and not so fine) porn sites are running special discounts for the holidays. I guess the Easter spirit has made them reach out in brotherly love to porn addicts.
Hegre, MetArt, the list goes on. A lot of fine sites offering low membership prices right now.
USE THE PU LINK TO GET TO THE HEGRE SITE, AND YOU WILL SEE THE FOLLOWING PRICES:
(THE FIRST PRICE IS THE 'REGULAR PRICE', THE SECOND PRICE IS THE SPECIAL PRICE.)
My guess is they are trying to emphasize they are a "modern", forward-thinking porn site. Moving into today's trends, with videos and photosets that cater to today's edgier audience (more explicit sex).
Really pays to read the fine print.
$US99.95 every 30 days after the initial period!
Either that is a mis-print (pricing error), or a scam to trap the unwary.
I wonder how many people will be caught by this?
I've always thought Hegre was a major site, ethical.
If I was stupid enough to pay S99.95/month on re-bills, I'd never join this site again.
I find Met-art much more of a "must-see" than Hegre. Or maybe I just mean that I appreciate Met-art more. Obviously it depends on personal taste, because some people will find little to like at either site, but I think that Met-art is much the better value because of the huge quantity of photosets, the different photographers that are on display, the endless number of lovely models, etc. And what is also important, is that Met-art is priced as low or lower than Hegre.
I read your Met-art review. I think you were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of material to look through, and that turned you off. Also, you stated that you didn't find any of the material erotic.
Perhaps you find the material at Hegre more to your taste. I did like some of the material at Hegre, but I found much more at Met-art that I really enjoyed.
I think you might have stopped looking at the Met-art contents before you would have found material that you enjoyed. Because I think that Met-art has material that is similar to what is found at Hegre, and a lot more besides.
But that's just my opinion. If you saw too much that you didn't enjoy at Met-art, then that seems to have spoiled the experience for you, just like eating something tasteless or unappetizing could spoil a fine meal (I'm trying to express a psychological idea about enjoyment or pleasure, and doing a lousy job).
Obviously, you are not a cat lover, because reading that Petra has 3 cats should have made you fall instantly in love with Petra and her photosets. I will agree that the Met-art videos can be extremely boring, I much prefer the photosets.
TBP earns money when members (and others) join thru their links. I have more faith in TBP reviews (which give a large number of factual details in their reviews) than in the reviews at most porn review sites. But the best source of information is the PU reviews, which are written by people who are, like us, actually paying for the porn they see.
PU reviews often have less factual details than TBP reviews, but the opinions of the site value are easier for me to understand and evaluate than the scores at TBP. I certainly don't agree 100% with all PU reviews, but the reviews can be useful in judging whether a site might be worth my money to join.
The softcore teen glamor sites emphasize photosets over videos, although they are now producing more videos than in the early years (2003 and earlier). Today's videos are also better quality than in years past, in terms of resolution and other technical factors. Maybe one day the videos at softcore teen sites will even be interesting and worth watching.
More than most softcore teen glamor sites, Hegre seems to make people respond in different ways, from loving the site to finding the site a bore. The PU score for the site is 77, while the TBP score is 92. That is quite a range.
VideosZ has a PU score of 75 and a TBP score of 92. VideosZ is a hardcore video site, instead of a softcore glamor photo site.
But I think it's interesting how some sites seem to polarize the members at PU.
I looked at the traffic rating site you mentioned.
There has been a large drop-off over the last 6 months in viewers for the pornsites I checked:
Met-art
Metmodels
Hegre-Art Domai
glamdeluxe
justteensite
For most of the sites I checked, the traffic dropped around 50%, which is a huge percentage. These porn sites must really be hurting.
This is related to the poll that surferman started, asking, "Do you think the current financial recession will make porn providers change the quality or price of their sites in any way?"
This is real proof that the porn sites have lost a huge amount of business over the last 6 months.
Over a 1 year+ period, the traffic dropoff has been even worse, in some sites as much as 66%.
Met-art has around 5 times the traffic of Hegre-art, so I guess subscribers do recognize the better value of Met-art over Hegre-art.
CCBill is considered one of the most reliable billing agents for porn.
If you have any membership problems you should first contact the site you joined. Problems logging in should be handled by the web site you joined.
If you can't get satisfaction from the web site, then you should ask for a refund from CCBill.
I belonged to Hegre-Art with a 1-year membership, and I never had any problems logging in.
But maybe there was a temporary server problem.
If your log-in problems persisted over several days, I hope you were able to get a refund thru CCBill.
Three of the most important factors in site value are:
-content quality
-content quantity
-price
Like hondaman, I think price is a major factor.
Hegre-Art is a good site, as far as content. But it's way overpriced based on the prices from a few months ago.
Prices for Hegre-Art have dropped recently.
PU currently lists a monthly cost of $19.95, recurring at $29.95/mo.
PU currently lists an annual fee of $150.00 (non-recurring)
The Hegre-Art site currently lists a sign-up fee of:
$19.95/month, recurring.
$99.95/year, non-recurring.
You almost need a dynamic link to these sites to get the updated prices.
The penalties for porn are often harsher than the penalties for stealing or falsifying thefts of hundreds of millions of dollars in the business world.
This seems to be a very small site. With very limited information from the site preview area. PU discount price is $17.97/month. But the site preview only shows maybe 15 models in the "all girls" section. 15 models at this site, that's started in September 2009, according to TBP?
TBP states 18+ episodes (videos) for the site (facts updated 01-05-11).
So apparently this is an archive site, with little to no updates. I mean, 18+ episodes for a site that launched in September 2009? A very tiny site.
There are supposed to be 7 bonus sites, so possibly it's worth a 1-month membership.
Have any PU members been a member of this site, and would comment on whether it's worth joining this site (with the bonus sites)?
No.
This site is part of the JAV HD network.
In every site in the network that I've looked at, none of the videos or photos are pixillated (have the mosaic effect) for censorship.
I assume that if you join any site in the network, you get access to all the sites.
But the best way of joining is to join through the JAV HD site, since that shows on sign-up that you get access to all the sites in the network.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Epoch is the payment processor. A trusted name.
-Professionally shot videos: good camera work, sound control, editing, lighting, etc.
-Good download speeds. I averaged between 1 to 3 MB/sec.
-There is a photo set illustrating/accompanying each scene, that shows you clearly what the video scene will show.
-Can stream or download each video. Each stream or download has choices for the quality of the scene. From mobile to HD quality.
Cons:
-Pre-checked cross sale on join page.
-No zip file for the photo sets.
-Poor search engine.
Bottom Line:
65 scenes
Features Japanese models in outdoor sex: in the street, at a pool, at the beach, at a park, wherever.
This would approximate the public nudity category for American/European porn.
Since there are only 65 scenes, this is a small site, and the content can be easily scanned by glancing over the thumbnail for each scene, with the brief scene description.
Even though 65 scenes seems like a small amount of content, you get a nice array of sex acts: masturbation, toys (vibrators and dildos), girl-girl, boy-girl, two-or-more-boys with one girl, blowjobs, fucking, etc.
The models are attractive young Japanese in their late teens or early twenties. Very little tattoos or piercings. Most models have pubic hair. Although the Japanese models exhibit the Asian shyness toward sex, it is evident they are enjoying the sex, with their funny noises and moans. The sex is not rough or abusive. And the girls seem to give blow jobs like they are born to it.
Because you haven't seen these models before, it adds an element of freshness to the scenes, even if the sex is not radically different from American or European sex scenes. Except:
1. the flavor is different, because these are Japanese models, which have a slightly different attitude to sex.
2. the models are Japanese, not European or American.
3. most of the models are cute or attractive. Slender bodies. Young faces.
4. no plastic breasts that I could see. These models are natural.
Some of the models, like Misaki Oosawa, have such innocent, doll-like faces, with perky bodies, that you wonder why they got into porn in the first place. I guess there's an excess of cute Japanese models that can't succeed in the gravure niche so they gravitate into AV idols (AV = Adult Video).
I think Japanese (and Chinese) models are some of the most beautiful women in the world.
Giving the site a score of 80. Because I really like how attractive some of the models are. But if you are less impressed by the models, you could easily give the site a lower score. I realize I am being very subjective about the score for this site. And I've read comments that the sex could be considered bland or raunchy. Different people can have very different opinions about this site, or about anything else, for that matter.
Click on each hot link.
These are the preview pages for Holly Randal, which show the latest updates for:
-Updates (latest updates)
-Movies (latest movies)
-Photos (latest photo sets)
The Updates preview will show you, for each year from 2009 thru 2018, the monthly updates for each month.
The movies and photo set previews don't break it down into year and month, but show a massive amount of movies and photo sets in separate thumbnail listings.
Click in the thumbnail for a movie or photo set, and that shows you the date it was posted.
Actually, I think the preview pages for Holly Randall are one of the best preview pages for any website.
If you click on a thumbnail of one of the movies, it gives you a short preview of the movie.
If you click on a thumbnail of one of the photo sets, it gives you a short preview of the photo set.
I'm currently a member of Metart. Years ago it was just Metart and Metmodels. I knew they had added a few other sites recently, but didn't realize how many they have added. I hope it increases the financial stability of the Metart site itself, which is my favorite site for softcore photography. A lot of sites fall on hard times, and either go out of business or become archive sites that no longer update.
And now, Metart is not just a mega-site by itself, but is becoming a mega-network.
If site only has about 30+ videos (20 minute runtime), it seems kind of expensive at $29.95/month.
Anyone at PU been a member, care to comment? With only 30+ videos, the number of models is probably very limited.
Is there any bonus content, such as access to a network of other sites, that is included in the membership? TBP does not seem to show any bonus sites included. Although TBP states there are bonus galleries.
