You're absolutely right, I was always more into pics than vids. There are several reasons for that, which I've mentioned before.
-Pics take less space than vids.
-It's far easier to make an excellent pic than an excellent vid, because there are far fewer factors to control in a pic than a vid.
-Therefor, excellent pics are far more common and easier to find than an excellent vid.
-Also, the time you spend looking at a pic and deciding if good or bad is a fraction of the time needed to do the same for a vid.
-I'm sure there are other considerations, as well, such as the time and money spent looking for sites that you think are worthwhile.
Anyway, I'm simply repeating things you already know.
But it's still worthwhile saying them, I believe.
Personal taste varies widely. What I like can be bland or boring or a waste of time to someone else.
I think Metart is the best site out there, for softcore teen photos. In terms of lovely teen models, quality of the photos, amount of content, and the low price you pay for that content.
Their videos, in contrast, are a waste of time. Boring, in spite of the lovely models.
I can't emphasize enough how much personal taste controls or affects what you like.
I looks at photosets from Femjoy, and I don't like them anywhere near as much Metart photosets. Other PU members have said they prefer the Femjoy approach over Metart, in the photosets. I think Metart uses more photoshopping, and cosmetics, to present the models more attractively. For the same model, who has photosets at Metart and at Femjoy, I will normally enjoy the Metart photosts more. But some PU members have said the Femjoy approach emphasizes the natural beauty of the model.
The Metart videos are boring. Femjoy videos are slighly better, but not by much.
Young Legal Porn and 18 Only Girls are two Diesel network sites with the same site structure, and the content has the same style. The photosets and vids and models could appear at either site. They have two sites, instead of one, for marketing purposes, to make more money.
The two sites have always had models that I thought were attractive. The videos have improved over time, and for years now, have been excellent in terms of definition and other factors.
The photosets had far less value. But over time (years), the photos were improving. And the photosets they are posting now are really nice. So as I said in my review, if they can keep up the quality in the future, these sites will be excellent photo sites in addition to their excellent videos.
Here's what I wrote in an earlier review of 18 Only Girls, dated 2011-01-23:
I don't like tattoos. Given how common they are for the models, it shouldn't be a factor, but I just don't like them. So I have no problem if this site (or whoever supplies the photosets) uses a bit of photoshopping to remove tattoos.
I know that different sites use photoshopping to remove birth marks (small colored markings) on some of their models. I think that photoshopping is more common than most people realize.
If you join any 1 site in the network, and remain a continuous member, then, starting the 3rd month, you get access to all 14 sites in the network.
But it's cheaper to just join the network, if you really want to get access to all 14 sites. By joining the network instead of a single site, you get immediate access to all 14 sites. And the price of 3 months of a single site really adds up, so it's less expensive to join the network instead of a single site if you really want access to all the sites.
The wrath of Khan is what you really have to fear. I think that was a Star Trek movie or Star Trek episode, even though our Khan said that he is not related to the Star Trek Khan. You never know about these Khan guys. :)
I agree that Teen Mega World is less expensive, and offers greater quantity (through its network) and better technical quality videos.
But I've been a member of Teen Mega World twice recently. I didn't bother to write any reviews of their sites, because there have already been some fine reviews written by other PU members.
And I was looking for something different.
So in spite of the higher price, I thought I would give 18 Only Girls a try.
And I like that 18 Only Girls is less hardcore than Teen Mega World. I also like that 18 Only Girls has some nice photosets. The photosets, as I mentioned, are not the high quality of sites like Met-art and Mplstudios, but the photosets are still nice. I wish the photosets were better, I wish the videos were better, and there are other ways 18 Only Girls could be improved. But I think it's still a worthwhile site, even though there are better (and cheaper) sites around.
There are plenty of sites that I would like to try. But I only have so much money, and so much time. And it takes a while to go through a single site.
I still need to upgrade my Internet connection, so I can get faster downloads. There are so many photosets and videos to look through, to find something I might really like. And the people at PU are not doing my job for me: they like videos and photosets that I don't. Grrrr.
I need not only a faster Internet connection, but also a couple of clones, that will have my same tastes and opinions, that will search out material that I can really enjoy. But I can't really afford to make or build a couple of clones of myself, at this time. :)
Actually, I read slutty's review of this site yesterday, which is why I decided to join the site today, because of the high score he gave the site.
I also re-read your review of the site yesterday. When I read your review originally, that you wrote back in January of this year, I decided to avoid the site because of the low score you gave it.
I think that slutty's and my and your tastes are somewhat similar, in that we often enjoy similar things. We are not exactly the same, but slutty and you serve as useful guides for me, while other PU members can have far different tastes, and their reviews, although honest, have less relevance for possible sites I might join.
Having said that, I've been thinking about this site for a long time. I think some of the models are very attractive.
Your review put me off the site, and I didn't join, because you gave it a low score.
But slutty's review gave the site a much higher score. He does not think the site (or its network) is perfect, but he thinks it has at least a certain value.
So, because I think there are some really attractive models at this site, I thought it was worth taking a chance that I would appreciate at least some of the site material.
I've been a member of this site for less than a day. And I don't think the site is perfect. But because I really like some of the models, and I have looked at some of the photosets and videos, I think it was, for me, a worthwhile join.
I read Denner's review of this site, he gave it a low score of 69, and I decided to stay away. Now I read your review and you give the site a very positive rating.
I'm seriously thinking of joining this site because of your review. If I do join, and find that I don't like the site after all, I'm coming after you for a refund.

Thanks for the note. I did realize that there was a name change. I have seen a number of videos from the YoungPorn/YoungLegalPorn site, and thought the models were very attractive and the videos were very clear and nice quality. But I never got around to joining the site/network, because I am mainly into softcore photosets. But I am dabbling with video sites more now.
I was thinking about joining this network, mainly for the Young Legal Porn site. But then I joined the teen mega world network yesterday, because that was cheaper. My mistake, because I've been a member of teen mega world before, and am curious about the Young Legal Porn site. But maybe I will get to Young Legal Porn sometime in the future. :)
Teen mega world has some nice sites, but the grass is always greener on the other side. Just human nature, I guess.
But $40, or even $35, seems very steep for a 1 month membership. I don't like paying more than $30 for a month, and there are nice sites/networks that you can get for $20 or less (thru PU discounts).
I paid $20 for a 1 month membership to Teen Mega World, which gives me access to around 30+ sites. Of those sites, maybe 6 are the main ones for value, and the rest are filler.
On the other hand, the number of sites is really a marketing decision. All the Teen Mega World sites could be combined into a single site, but then the potential subscribers would think they were getting less for their money.
There are a lot of young girls here, many are nice-looking (not really great-looking, but ok to nice). But with the poor quality and other problems, the site is not worth joining.
Personal taste varies so widely. The two previous PU reviewers gave scores of 88 and 90, the reviews were 9 months or less old, and written by established PU members.
But I give more weight to your review on this site, because when I've read your reviews on sites I've been to, your views generally agree with my thinking (Except I've never joined most of the sites you've joined. I focus mainly on softcore pix).
I don't know if most guys shooting porn have discovered the tripod yet. But the videos at this site are less herky-jerky than at some sites which can almost give you motion sickness.
I gave you a positive trust rating on 02-19-09 with the following comment: "Good reviews, more recent ones with lots of details."
So I don't think there's anything wrong with your reviews. I think they provide a good flavor of the sites you write about (details and opinions beyond the basic site statistics).
But thanks for the thumbs up on my review.
And I also agree with your idea that most East European models are getting paid peanuts compared to what American models make. That's a good part of the reason why there was such an explosion of porn coming out of East Europe: the cheap production costs.
But what I am really thankful for is the number of physically attractive young models. Some of them are truly lovely. More on the softcore side, but a number in hardcore as well.
slutty, I took it as a compliment that you basically agreed with my review. I did not intend my reply as showing any disagreement. I just tend to ramble a lot, and sometimes people read into my words ideas I did not mean at all. You did not come off as compative (though I am not really sure what compative means).
There's a lot of the network I haven't seen myself. Or downloaded.
I assume you joined the network through the spunkybee site? Or did you find another site with a better offer?
There is a model named Klara at this site that is also called Aurita and Vera at the site. She started in porn maybe a year ago, and is appearing on a lot of different sites in both softcore and hardcore, at TeenMegaWorld network, Nubiles, and other sites. I think she even has 1 photoset at Met-art. I find her very attractive, and her videos at this site are among the best of the site. You might want to check her videos out at this site.
There are two other models named Klara at this site. I thought the video of the model named Klara with only one video at this site, listed as "Kaspar and Klara on video", that downloads as 252.wmv, is a good video.
I think that scoring a site is very subjective, and the score itself is only a very general opinion. Just like one critic might think a movie is excellent while another critic thinks the movie is just good or just OK, or possibly a waste of time, people will find different values in a porn site.
I gave the site a very high score because I liked the way the girls were treated with respect or affection instead of being treated as sluts or whores like many gonzo videos show.
But someone else could give the site a score of 80 or even 70 and I
wouldn't really disagree with their score, because that is their opinion.
I could have given the site a score of 80 myself, with no problem. I know that PU/TBP appears to believe a score represents something solid, but I do not. When I read a review, I am less interested in the score, which is a very general guide of the reviewer's opinion, than in the details of the review, what the person likes and dislikes about the site.
As far as acting as a possible guide to my joining the site, a lot depends on whether my tastes agree with the reviewer's. Many sites that get very high scores are not sites I would ever join, because I don't like the content of the sites.
I agree that navigation is not perfect. But I have a slow DSL connection, and what really helps me is having nice-sized thumbnails to show what the models look like. That makes it much easier for me to decide whether to view the video. At other sites in the network, there is no good-sized thumbnail, so I have to try streaming, which sucks for me with slow DSL, and some sites don't even have streaming. With no streaming, then I have to download the video, which can easily take two hours or more. So that's why I said the navigation is good, because for me, it's so much better than what some of the other sites have.
My current ISP DSL download speed maxes out at 150-160 KB/s. I am seriously considering paying more for a faster connection.
Until I do get a faster connection, the 3-day trials are not that helpful to me. To download a single 1.3 GB video file takes about 2 hours 30 minutes, and if I'm surfing the Internet or looking at other sites, that slows my download speed so the download takes even longer.
I can't really watch these videos as streaming, because they mostly stutter and stop, stutter and stop, while playing.
So I just need a faster connection. :)
There do appear to be a large number of videos at the Tony Bucks network. My experience has mainly been softcore photosets. I haven't seen any of the videos at Tony Bucks at other sites. There are some attractive models here.
slutty, please see my comment posted today, titled "Special offer ends today". It explains a cheaper way to join the network, and to get access to 10 sites in the network, instead of just access to 1 or 3 sites in the network. That comment was added to the 18stream page at PU. I posted my reply to you as a comment, instead of a reply here, because PU limits the lines and length of a reply. :)
(Continuation of original comment. Added because comments are limited to a certain number of characters and a certain number of lines.)
If you join the same network from one of the other sites in the network, you will probably pay $29.95 for 1 month, but you will get a smaller number of bonus sites in your membership. You can get access to anywhere from 3 or more sites, up to 10 sites, depending on which site you join through. There are 11 sites in the network, but I didn't see any offer which included all 11 sites.
It makes no sense, offering access to different numbers of sites depending on which site you join through, but that's the way it sometimes happens.
At each of their sites, they advertise that the special offer ends today.
Maybe they will extend the offer, maybe not.
But if you are seriously considering the network, I would take advantage of the special offer, and join today, and join through the spunky bee site.
Do these girls come with a doctor's COA (certificate of authenticity) certifying their virgin status? I learned about COAs on ebay.
I'm currently a member of Teen Mega World, have been a past member of Diesel several times. It just seems the models at those networks are cuter, on average, than the models shown on the preview pages at 18 Virgin Sex. Although some of the models appear at all 3 networks, the models at Teen Mega World and Diesel are presented more attractively.
Anyway, an excellent review of this site, as usual.
Referring to the public preview page:
I agree, some girls in the thumbnails do appear to be shown twice or more in separate thumbnails.
It's hard to be certain how many of the thumbnails are of each model.
Partially because many of the models are similar in appearance.
If you join the site or network, each site listing of the individual videos gives a better thumbnail of each model, as well as her name.
That gives a better indication of what the site contains.
I agree that the public preview is very poor.
They should have a public preview page showing all their models.
I believe there are currently 487 scenes/videos at the site.
I believe the videos are exclusive.
However, after watching a number of the videos, it's hard to tell them apart.
Maybe it's porn burn-out for me, but the videos start to get repetitious after a while.
In spite of the attractive girls.
So there is a lot of content at this one site.
And you also get network access, which means you get a boatload of porn videos.
The basic network gives you over 3,000 videos (without upgrading to premium status).
I see no need to pay the $70 to upgrade to premium status.
I don't believe the preview page is a mashup.
It's just that the thumbnails reflect that the videos are so similar.
And that's why you think it's a jumbled mashup.
It isn't a jumbled mashup.
It just that the thumbnails, which show different videos, seem so similar to each other, that it seems like a jumbled mess.
And that's what your brain seems to see, after watching many of these videos. An overpowering mess of attractive naked teens, which loses its allure because of the repetitiousness of the videos.
Are you planning on writing a site review?
I'm curious how many of the videos at this site are also shown at Teen Mega World.
Also, would like to know general site details about navigation, model index, etc.
I assume it's just a temp error you can't log in. Because I don't remember any site I've joined that cut my access before the subscription expired, except for one that was having financial problems, that I never re-joined, or a different site that cut my access because they said I went over their daily download limit.
Blocking access to a site you paid for, that's goddamn irritating.
500MB x 50 scenes = 25 GB. If that's for 1 month, that would be a tiny download limit.
I joined a Japanese site about a year ago, that had a daily download limit of 12 GB. The photosets and videos only had 1 file size (no low or medium option, just the high quality was offered).
For downloading, my DSL connection maxes out at 150-160 KB/s. That's the best I can hit, and if I download more than 1 file at a time, the total download speed splits the 150 KB/s between the files. So it's no faster to download 2 files at the same time than to download a single file.
Anyway, even with 150-160 KB/s download speed, I could sometimes reach the 12 GB daily limit. Because the video files at that site were large (the photosets are much smaller, of course).
So I downloaded a bunch of videos and photosets, because there are some absolutely gorgeous Japanese porn stars.
But I haven't looked at a single one of those files since downloading them. Lol. And that was over a year ago.
I was never very accurate guessing a person's age from looking at him or her.
A few porn models do have a very young appearance, and can still look like a teenager long after they are into their twenties.
Thanks for the links, but I can't really tell much difference in her appearance between the three scenes. The major difference, to me, is that she has a greenish white skintone in one because of the green paint on the walls:
http://picsgall3.tinseks.com/012/10/001/
I'm pretty sure she is also at the teenmegaworld network. But I don't know if I even bothered to download her material there, because I was signed up to too many different sites, and with a slow DSL connection, it takes a long time to download these large files. And when I download, I usually go for the high quality, so it can take 1-2 hours to download a single video file.
I really need to get a faster Internet connection.
Some of these video files are now over 1 GB, which is ridiculous. Especially when I find I don't even like the file, and delete it, after watching it partway through.
There are a number of videos at this current network, TonyBucks, that are 1 GB or more.
Sometimes when I mention that a photographer can make a girl look much better, by makeup, lighting, whatever, I get a response that "natural" is better, and that to some PU members, at least, the less makeup, photoshopping, the better: any change from the real model is for the worse.
But I definitely think, as long as it's not overdone (which is a highly personal opinion), makeup and lighting and good skin tone and colorful costume and other factors can make a huge difference in how attractive and erotic a model will be presented.
I think I started seeing this model maybe a year ago. One of the first sets I saw her in she was really cute (because of the lighting and other factors). Since then, I've seen her at many different sites, and she rarely looks as good as she did in that early photoset. It wasn't that she was wearing a lot of makeup: she just looked really cute or pretty.
Some models can look very different from one site to the next. But this model's only been here a very short time, so, if she doesn't age fast, change hair color or hair style, she is easily recognizable at the different sites.
A few porn models can last for 5-10 years or more, and they don't appear to age that much. Most models don't last anywhere near that long, but in a few years, they are already starting to look much older. The porn business can be very hard on some models, I think.
That Nathalie is a true slut. The first time I saw her, I thought she was lovely and pink and soft in a photoset, wearing an adorable smile, a white wrist band and a white-and-pink collar around her neck, and nothing else. But then I started seeing her on one site after another, banging away with boy after boy after boy. And my illusions were shattered, because I had thought she was waiting for me to show up, and I was forced to realize she was not really waiting after all. :)
The photography can make a huge difference in how attractive a girl appears. In that one photoset I first saw, Nathalie looked really cute. But in many of the photosets/videos of her I've seen since, she looks just OK to mildly attractive.
I really wish that more sites would pay more time and attention and care to making each girl as attractive as possible, in the photographs and videos. I don't think it would take that much more effort, as long as the photographer/video man was competent.
