Thanks for the review here, and the info. I'm quite fond of this heartcore/whatever genre and this site cropped up on my radar - as you say, they are clearly aiming for the X-Art/Joymii market, both of which I enjoyed.
It's good to know it doesn't quite make it - helps prioritise other sites!

from otoh:
Great, in-depth review, with a lot of good points. You are selling it a bit short on the numbers though; a quick look at the list of sets shows > 700 sets; and don't forget the approx 500 videos.
If you go back a year ago, you'll also find they did experiment with some slightly more explicit stuff - see Emma/Emmanuella's sets (they also have quite a few late 20s models, of which she is one), where there is some masturbation, which worked well.
This was one of my favourite sites - I had a continuous membership for 2 years, but have recently stopped; partly because I have less time to spend on porn of late; but also, if I were to review it again now, I'd score it a bit lower than the very high score in my review, since:
* Updates are no longer daily - that's fine for the price of the site, but I'd need daily updates to subscribe for a year;
* The forum is gone - had some good chats on there with fellow members
* Most importantly - recent updates seem to be more studio-based; whereas what I love about the site is the voyeuristic nature of the locations - outdoor/bedroom/hotel/apartment etc
Oh and you are right it's a bit glitchy! It went through a couple of redesigns while I was a member, but never quite right.
But with all that, I'd still score it in the high 80s, especially for all the great archive material - and lots featuring models dressing and undressing from great lingerie and nylons.

Great review skippy, I had those same navigation issues when I was last there nearly 2 years ago. I find it incredible that some webmasters can't seem to grab the simple concept that when we hit the back button we want to go back to the page we came from.

I joined up earlier this year. It's a smaller site and I only joined for a month, downloaded a bunch of stuff and have slowly been checking it out when I have time. Actually some great quality content and women on the site, I was thinking about re-joining.
They may only have older samples on the public-facing site, but they have been solidly posting releases, you can check out the line up (covers only) at: https://www.thenude.eu/covers/photodromm/2019/09/. I don't think the newer releases are re-hashes of older material, from what I can tell.
As with any site that's been around a while the older stuff is lower quality, but the recent photo and video work is good. They tend to post an update every few days. The video updates are usually in 3-4 parts, e.g. one video is "Part 1", then the next "Part 2" video update carries on from where the first left off etc. But each part is ~10 minutes so not bad. Photo sets are approx 50 images per set, which personally I quite like - the 140+ sets I find just too much.

This is good criticism - plus they change billers at the drop of a hat and then say, "Oh, that was an offer through.... - we're not with them any more". Ripoffs on top of ripoffs.

I got burned by "a" Playboy site once too. I say that I was burned by a Playboy site because I think there are several that use the brand. I was signing up for a one-month membership and as I went through the screens to confirm the purchase I didn't notice that the site defaulted to an annual membership on one of the screens. Needless to say, the site wasn't sympathetic. It would have been a poor value for a month but it was a complete waste for a year. I downloaded some stuff but I've since deleted it.

AGREE THAT IT'S A SLEAZY CASH GRAB.
PLAYBOY HAS SUNK A LOT SINCE THE GLORY DAYS (1960S, 1970S).
I WAS A MEMBER OF THE SITE ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO.
I FOUND THE SITE, AT THAT TIME, TO BE DISAPPOINTING.
I FOUND MUCH BETTER QUALITY PHOTOS OF THE PLAYMATES ON NEWSGROUPS, AND MORE COMPLETE SETS OF THEIR CENTERFOLD SHOOT.
ALSO, THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEOS WAS POOR. THERE WAS ONE VIDEO OF STACY FUSON (SHE WAS FEBRUARY 1999 PLAYMATE OF THE MONTH) WAS SO BAD I INSTANTLY DELETED IT.
CUTE GIRL, BUT I HAD A MUCH BETTER COPY OF THAT VIDEO FROM SOME NEWSGROUP.
EXCEPT THAT THE NEWSGROUPS ON PLAYBOY AND PENTHOUSE SEEM TO BE LESS ACTIVE RECENTLY.
THERE USED TO BE CONSTANT UPDATES ON THE PLAYBOY NEWSGROUP SITES, BUT NOT ANYMORE.

I completely agree. When I first discovered this I asked for a refund. When that was denied, I paid the extra $10. That is the last time I've signed on to this site. I no longer visit Twistys for the same reason.

SKIPPY,
THANKS FOR THE EMAIL UPDATE.
I'M GLAD THE LINK WORKED.
I GOT THE OFFER IN 2013, HAVE BEEN A MEMBER SINCE THEN OF THAT SITE.
I'VE NEVER HAD ANY BILLING PROBLEMS.
THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OFFER WAS ROCKETGATE.COM.
YOU CAN TURN OFF THE PU INTERNAL EMAIL SYSTEM.
WHICH SEEMS TO BE BUGGY.
BOTH EMAILS I SENT TO YOU USING THE SYSTEM WERE REJECTED.

SKIPPY,
I TRIED A SECOND TIME TO SEND YOU AN EMAIL USING THE PU INTERNAL EMAIL SYSTEM.
AND I GET ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE EMAIL FAILED/WAS REJECTED.
THEN I SENT AN EMAIL DIRECTLY, FROM YAHOO EMAIL.
THAT EMAIL APPARENTLY WENT THROUGH.
I'M NOT SURE WHY THE PREVIOUS EMAILS WERE REJECTED.
MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD A URL AT THE TOP OF THE MESSAGE BODY.
ANYWAY, I ASSUME YOU DID GET MY EMAIL.
THE SUBJECT WAS: FROM PU MEMBER LK2FIREONE: SPECIAL OFFER...

DOES THE PU INTERNAL EMAIL SYSTEM HAVE YOUR CURRENT EMAIL ADDRESS?
OR AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT ACTUALLY CAN RECEIVE EMAILS?

Thanks to the staff here at TBP, especially Mike, there was a solution. I didn’t get the refund I was asking for but I was compensated. I still think my request for a refund of the annual membership and me paying for a one-month membership was a reasonable request. As I understand it both Playboy TV and Brazzers are under the same company though the individual sites are owned separately. The parent company obviously couldn’t persuade the Playboy TV site owner to issue a refund so they compensated me with a membership at Brazzers. The parent company didn’t need to do that so I am grateful for their generous offer.
I wouldn’t exclude joining Playboy TV because of my issue. I made a mistake and if I was paying attention I wouldn’t have made that mistake. Think of it as being like not noticing a pre-selected cross-sell. I think the Playboy join page is a little misleading in that the TBP one-month discount is highlighted but the annual membership is pre-selected. But still, I should have paid more attention.
Thanks for asking.

Great review. This is one of my regular memberships. I like having access to the older stuff and agree that the quality on those can be pretty bad, but I suspect that's more a reflection of the original than how it gets uploaded.

Thanks. My annual membership runs out in October and I'm planning to rejoin one of the sites with the hopes of getting another offer. It seems from what you and others have written that this offer, or something like it, is pretty common.

I think the deal I have is different from the one you have. My recollection is that after joining Passion HD I was offered an annual membership for a one-time payment of $69 that included other sites. Either way, this is a great deal. When my annual membership expires this fall I'll definitely look to rejoin.
When I signed up for the annual membership I was given access to Passion HD, Casting Couch X, Lubed, POVD, My Very First Time, Exotic 4K, Fantasy HD, Tiny 4K and Pure Mature. Soon after that Holed was added, which suddenly changed this great value to an excellent value for me. A couple of weeks ago a site called SpyFam was added. I haven't downloaded anything there yet but it looks good.
So do I read your comment correctly that you have access to Baeb too? I've read other comments that say that the access changes depending on when you joined but that seems to run counter to the fact that I've had two sites added since I joined. Baeb is a site I'd like to join but I've been reluctant to in case it gets added to my existing membership.
Do you access to any other sites that are different from what I have besides Baeb?

Yeah that really sucks, thanks for the warning, really should expect full excess for that price, I think they get miles more signing up if they offered all sites on a network like reality kings, or bring price to $14.99 a site or $39.99 for full network. This with compete with rivals and they see lots more signing up. Hope you get it resolved.

So to answer my own question the newer videos are 1080p starting with the Kacey Lane scene. Like skippy says some of these videos still aren't great so far as quality goes, but others are. More recently all the videos have been high quality, still not the best quality by far but still a pretty good 1080p, so hopefully they have got it together now. Honestly only about 3 videos are not up to par since the 1080 switch. The updates are pretty consistent, about twice a week. I would have to say the strongest aspect of this site is the performers. There are some really hot ones here and it is definitely worth a look if you are a fan of pov. I am still not happy about them trying to fool people into thinking they were getting the highest quality 1080p videos when they were getting 720, or the blatant lack of consumer support. If they can keep it going like they have been I think they have a strong chance of becoming one of the best POV sites out there. Check it out.

from frank nasty:
So I have had mixed experiences with povD in the past. When I first joined in Jan 2014 It seemed very cool. I was very impressed with the shooting style. It seems like pov where mostly the entire female is visible on screen is quite rare. Idk why this is, just butt cheeks or boobs or just a face on screen by themselves is not appealing to me as a viewer... I digress...
The first 10 or so scenes are hot. Great performers, sets, shooting, and high quality video resolution. I was happy, I thought that I finally found a credible POV site that would update regularly.
now for the second month. I was very excited to see Janice G. there but I was quickly disappointed to find the video quality was horrible. Not offered in 1080p, only 720p and the pixelization was plentiful. I mean this was not even good 720p; it was not clear video, it was dark and the color was way off. I don't see how they can get away with saying "highest quality video on the net" and not even offer a quality 720p or 1080p, much less 4K (which most would argue to be the highest mainstream quality these days). It is clearly not the highest quality.
There was also the issue of an oversized watermark that covered 1/4 the screen which included the pussy, but at least that got taken care of, eventually.
I have also noticed that they have started "recycling" many of the girls now. D.Carter is in 4 different scenes and there aren't that many vids on the site yet ...not cool. I mean maybe if they had her in different costumes or something to switch it up I would say "its cool" ...but its not
This has been my experience on povD.com
My main question to you is are the videos looking better yet? I mean are they back to 1080p? and at what update/girl did the 1080 start back up on? Any 4K yet?
Are there any other POV sites you know of that offer the full body view I am looking for? I have checked out many and so far all I really liked are povd, P.north.com, & HW101. The latter 2 sites are good but hardly update. HW101 over at Naughty A. is def worth a look if u like this style and haven't seen it.
I be very happy if one of these sites could offer up an ebony babe in full body pov. If you know where I could get a scene like this let a bro know. I would greatly appreciate the heads up, and thank you for any info you may provide.
Good day & good fapping 2u.

from host2626:
IIRC, all their videos have this fish lens distorted effect, like the ones in Spizoo's PornGoesPro. This "House of Mirrors" effect doesn't do it for me, zero excitement.
I understand that making proper POV is difficult. Even more so when you are a cheapass wanting to do it alone.
So either you do it with a normal lens, and convince your viewers who never had sex that it's exactly how it goes, you either see the closeup of her face or a closeup of your dick as if your eyes were popping out of your navel. The sad thing is that they believe it.
Or you use a fish eye lens to widen the field of view, thus completely distorting her body. Neither of this is exciting for me, and the proper way to do it, by having someone else hold the camera a bit higher that the guy's head, is almost never used.
It seems that mostly it's some guy wanting to get laid, have us pay for it, and make a living out of it. Understandable, I'd do the same :). Why pay a second guy to hold the camera, customers will swallow any crap. Some even think that it's normal to have camera shake, your pelvis is in motion after all and all that. No it's not, IRL your eyes are not fixed in their orbits, they move by themselves so your image is stable. There is no excuse for shaky cam, as there is none for any Hall of Mirror porn.
Anyway, /rant off, sorry. I wish my search for a proper POV site was over. Tired of having to content myself with 5 seconds of non-crappy footage in one video out of 10.

I think they've been altering their join page a lot lately. I've seen it change even within a single day. Currently there are both pay per video and monthly sub options for both Reality Lovers and Mature Reality.
The newer stuff from both sights looks very detailed to me. I wish they'd not split the 2 sites though. MatureReality doesn't update very often and yet is the more expensive site :(

As I get older, I lose patience.
So the easiest way for me to write and edit text is to use Notepad, and to write in caps.
I know that some people dislike reading posts that are made in cap letters, and there are work-arounds to using cap letters. But like I said, the easiest method is for me to use Notepad and cap letters.
And my eyes are getting poor. No need to go into particulars, but the older you get (I'm past 70), the more your body breaks down.
As far as glam as a descriptive, I'm not writing as an "expert" witness, so I feel free to write loosely. Especially for a site like PU, where some of the reviews are really poor, and yet they are accepted by the PU staff.
If any of my reviews have merit, fine.
If not, not so fine.
But I hope I'm contributing at least something to the site, with my reviews.
By the way, if you are ever a member of The White Boxxx, either through a direct membership or through letsdoeit.com, then I recommend watching the video titled "Her first threesome" with Lena Reif.
That one video is worth the price of admission to the site.
Lena looks gorgeous, and the action is like a super-glam video: where the emphasis is on visuals. The video itself is not the hottest I've ever seen, but the visuals are gorgeous, and this is what Penthouse and Playboy should have been producing back in the 1970s and 1980s, and it might have saved those empires from crumbling.
