I've not ever tried any of their live services though I have watched a few taped performances of the live stuff and I have to agree that it is great stuff. Maybe one of these days I'll give it a try. I agree that although it would be difficult it would be very cool to see live shoots of all their niches.
I'm not familiar with the Folsom Street Fair, but I assumed that since it was in SF and that Kink decided to shoot there that it had to be pretty tolerant and open. It would be fun to see sometime.

My guess is that the European public shoot are a lot harder to do so they're not posted as often. There was one posted in each of January and February so I don't think they've give up on them.
I've always found heat in a public scene to come from a model's nervousness and the reaction of the people around her. But you raise something that is just as important - the uncontrolled and unpredictable part of it. That's huge for me too. Thanks for pointing that out.
I thought about mentioning the Dom thing in my review but I thought it was a personal thing so I didn't. Obviously it isn't personal to me since you share my thoughts. I agree 100% that it makes a difference. I like Princess Donna a lot as a director and actor, but for me BDSM needs a male Dom. Sexist? Probably, but it's important to me to see a male doing the Dom stuff.
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my review.

Probably about the same for me. I joined more sites in the past year than I normally would because here in Canada we're always under the threat of ISPs imposing bandwidth caps. My ISP doesn't do that now but I figure they will at some point so I'm downloading a lot while I can. I expect that to continue in 2012.

Thanks for the comments. Public nudity is obviously a genre that has the same allure if your straight or gay. But biggest compliant about the genre (but not about Public Disgrace) is that a lot of site somehow manage to make it seem cold and clinical. You'd think that they'd have to work to remove the heat from any porn, but a lot of sites featuring public nudity seem to manage to do it easliy.

Thanks pat. I see the price is listed as $35 at TBP but they don't say that includes an addition site. It makes sense that it does because otherwise that seems like a high price for ECG.

Pat - I normally follow your advice and I'd probably avoid this site but it is a niche I'm interested in. You say that you got a deal through your membership at Exploited College Girls. What is the deal and does it look like it is something offered all the time?
Thanks
Excellent review!

I didn't know that VB had some titles that were streaming only. Is that new? Is it one of their separate channels?

I've never streamed from VB, but if their streaming is as good as their downloads I have no reason to think it isn't great. My recollection is that they have several streaming quality options too. My suggestion, though, is that if you have the harddrive space why not download? The ability to stream will end with your membership but the downloads at VB have no DRM so they're yours forever. I realize that many people have various reasons for wanting to stream but consider downloads from there since they're available for the same membership price.

There might be one other possibility for you to find what you're looking for. Evil Angel has two websites. You're at the Evil Angel one, but if you go to Mike Adriano here that will link you to a separate EA site. The second site has a little, but not much overlap with the first one, so you might find what you're looking for there. Like the main EA site, the second one has a $9.95 TBP join price so it is an amazing value. And like the main EA site you're able to see all they have to offer without joining so you can tell if the title you want is there.
Good luck!

Thanks for the comment. I have a love/hate relationship with VOD sites. I prefer downloading but that can be very expensive, but VOD sites have allowed me to watch some titles from my early days as a porn user. Depending on how much you watch one of the channels may be a good value for you.

I think in a lot of cases using that option would make sense. Obviously a lot of that is subjective in the sense of how many times will you stream it again. If the option is the $2 48-hour streaming or $5 48-hour streaming that would have some impact. This is also a bit subjective, but I think there's a lot of objectivity too - that's considering the bitrate options available to you. A lot of the $2 rentals are older and offer a maximum of a 512k bitrate. That's pretty low quality. I accepted that so I could see a few older titles that I wanted to see, but the quality is so poor I'm not sure I'd go back to watch it again. But... if it's a movie you'd watch again and again and there are higher bitrates available then I think that could be a good option.
As I said in my review though, make sure to check the other main VOD sites for the same title. You might be able to get a better quality video for less cost at one of the others. In case you're not familiar with the other VOD sites, some of the bigger ones that you should check are Adult DVD Empire, Adultempire.com, HotMovies, DownloadtoOwn, Gamelink and Sugar VOD. (Two things about Adult DVD Empire and Adultempire.com: 1) they're affiliated but make sure to check them both because they have different pricing structures, and 2) there is a disreputable site called Adult Empire. Make sure you're on the VOD site. Entering Adultempire.com in your browser should get you to the right site.)

As much as I regret what I have to spend on these sites, it does give me access to some older titles that I want to see. The "channel" idea really cuts down on the cost, and with 8000 titles on the channel I subscribed to it will probably be a good value.
Thanks for your kind comments.

I find the TBP information all useful and I rely on it, but I don't use the join page screen captures. My assumption is that they are more useful for our European members who can compare to ensure they're not getting regional pricing.

My worry is that there is some hidden or variable glitch that I haven't read about. Like a download limit that hasn't been reported. In m ost cases though all a site's warts are noted in TBP and PU reviews so I rarely have unpleasant surprises.

Excellent review. One of these days I'm going to have to rely on all of the PU members here who reviewed this site favourably and join it. I was complaining on a recent forum thread that not enough photographers give any attention to a woman's ass, and particularly here anus. This site looks like it doesn't suffer from that issue.
Thanks for the great review.

Thanks for the comments! I'd like to think that maybe at some point enough people will complain about automatic streaming that websites will drop it. I can't imagine what it actually contributes to the site.

I'm okay with just two or three days. I admit that sometimes I can't get on the site and therefore lose any meaningful way to comment on a poll (yes, I know I can still post but the chances of engaging the regulars in a debate is much less) but I can live with that.

I can't really say because all I did was skim through a couple of scenes. The scenes I saw looked just like two images side by side and had no colour differentiation that you'd normally see with 3D. There may be better ones there, but since I selected two randomly and recently posted I suspect that they're a true representation of 3D. I confess that I didn't look at them through 3D glasses, which is obviously required. The problem is that I have no idea if we have 3D glasses in the house and if I ask my wife she'll want to know why. I doubt 'so I can look at 3D porn" will be an acceptable answer. If I am able to source some 3D glasses I'll make sure to update the information here. PH does also say that the scenes work on 3D monitors for those who have them. For now though, I'm treating 3D as a gimmick with little real value to a porn collector.

The definition on the older photos isn't great at 432x648 but given the age of them they are pretty good. I can see why you'd avoid the site if all you want are some of the older photos. Getting just those would skew the value of the site to not being a particularly good use of your porn dollars.

Some bad news... Karen Sather and Sandi Greco only have 10 photos each on the site. Cindy Mcdee has none. I didn't spend a lot of time in the really old material but now that I've checked on these for you I can also say that in 73, 74 and 75 there are only three or four models there. In 76 it starts to get better, but it isn't until the mid to late 1980s where you start to get every monthly Pet available.
I'll be a member for at least another 10 days so if you have more specific names you want stats on I'd be happy to provide that information.

I wish I could be more specific but the number varies widely. There are some sets where there are only five photos and some where there are 50. I'd say the average is 25-ish. What the site appears to do is include all the photos that a Pet does if she appeared in other pictorials apart from the time when she was Pet of the Month. That happens more frequently as you get into the 80s meaning that the 70s sets tend to be smaller.
I hope this helps. Please follow up if you'd like more information.

Thanks for the compliment, Denner.
I had some mixed feelings about joining because there were some older reviews and comments that were somewhat negative. But I balanced those against the review that TBP did less than two weeks agao where they gave it an 87 and said some good things about it. So I took the plunge and I'm glad I did.
One thing I can't confirm yet but plan to after I cancel my membership is whether you get access until you cancel or access for 30 days like you paid for. Like most people I cancel any membership a few days early to avoid a recurring charge and several older comments here have said that terminates your membership immediately. I'm not planning to stick around for more than the one month and I'll add a comment here to either confirm those older findings or to report that the membership is no longer terminated on cancellation.

I was pleasantly surprised. TBP reviewed it and liked it so that gave me some confidence even though past PU reviews weren't all that favourable. It's certainly among one of the best studio sites I've seen and it clearly shows that Penthouse understands the internet. The biggest weakness (and this may be subjective) is that the quality of the videos looks lower than the numbers would suggest. One of their strengths (again this is subjective) was access to exclusive stuff from models I like that.

Thanks for the comment messmer. I was concerned that good BDSM porn was being lumped in with abusive porn.

I've seen a lot of porn and not much can really disgust me, but there are some things I prefer not to see.
First though, just a comment on the thoughts expressed about degradation and humiliation. Degradation and humiliation can be an intergral part of BDSM sex, and while most of us wouldn't think of BDSM as mainstream, those who practice it seem to enjoy it. The difference, in my opinion, it evdient in sites on the Kink.com network where degradation, humiliation, bondage and pain are applied to women who enjoy that. It's done for the sole purpose of giving THEM the pleasure they seek. This is completely different from a male performer degrading, humilating or causing pain to a female for HIS twisted pleasure. I've been a member to many Kink sites many times over and, trust me, the difference between a male giving a female pleasure through degradation and humiliation is completely different from watching some A-hole degrade a woman for his own pleasure.
Having said that, there appears to be a new niche starting in porn. It's a development of extreme anal. While I'm a big fan of anal-themed scenes, this freaks me out a bit, and maybe there's even some disgust in there too. The niche appears to go by either "rosebud porn" or the more accurate and medical term of "prolapse porn." That's exactly what it is: some of these new models that dominate the extreme-anal market can prolapse their colons at will. It's very weird and not very sexy. And maybe even a little disgusting.
