Pros:
- It's like a porn scene mixed with a robotics convention mixed with a home improvement show.
- If you're skeptical of women models having orgasms in porn you should join this site. It gets messy.
- Very basic navigation as with most of the Kink sites. It works well, but they could definitely use a more in-depth search.
- Good download speeds, which are needed since some of the HD scenes get into the 1.5 GB range.
- Kind of surprising, but you'll find a lot of the top-tier models on this site.
- This is a hit or miss depending on the girl, but you actually get quite a bit of dirty talk from some of the models. Others fall into the "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" annoying talk.
- Kind of reminds me of some of the old Sybian sites. You see a model that seems to hold back in most of her scenes, then she gets on this site, gets a 8 inch dildo stuffed in her by a mechanical contraption and she goes wild. That's a major plus this site offers that very few do.
Cons:
- Kink sites rarely do much wrong and this one falls into that group of not doing much wrong.
- Kink sites can become very repetitive and once again, this site falls into that group.
- 720p is the highest video option available and I do think this is a Kink standard. I've been a member of three of their sites over the last month and none offered 1080p.
- The action can become too hectic at times on this site.
Bottom Line:
You'll never look at your personal drill the same. I discovered this site years and years ago. It was the only Kink site I would join since I thought most of their stuff was too hardcore for my taste.
I'll get those cons out of the way first.
Repetitiveness. It's to be expected with a site like this. I'll admit, I enjoyed this site quite a bit more back when I first reviewed here on PU way back in May 2008. And it's mostly because the scenes today aren't really any different than they were back then.
Too hectic. Dancing Bear. Party Hardcore. Those two sites are too hectic because there's too many people involved and too many switching cameras. This site is too hectic because the machines work so good. You've got machines pounding the woman at X amount of RPMs, she's screaming, stuff is squirting out, dildos are popping out and slamming into their thighs. Some of the girls, a very young Jynx Maze comes to mind, almost seem to have figured the machines out and move in harmony with them. Other girls on here are letting the machines control them.
But hey, it's better than those solo sites where the girl grinds her hips after 10 minutes of masturbation and claims she had an orgasm.
I do think this content is fairly unique even in 2016. There are models who get completely lost in what the machines are doing them. Those are some of the best scenes.
Technically, Kink will always be strong with 720p clear and smooth videos. They do offer smaller resolution too. Pictures are gone, which I also think is a new standard for Kink sites. The scenes start with the model dressed and talking about different things about themselves, their lives, this can last 7-8 minutes in some of the videos. Once that's done there's usually some kind of basic masturbation with a regular dildo or Wand, then the clothes come completely off and the machines are cranked up.
There's no way I could say this for sure as this is a very big site, but it seems like they would leave some of the models in clothes or even just hose, fishnets, during the scene to add a different feel, but I've not seen any that do. Which is where this number comes in:
Over 1,100 completely exclusive videos. Most of the videos are in the 20-30 minute range and I'm guessing that's just because the girls can't take anymore. You'll see a lot of genuine reactions, orgasms, squirting in these videos. You even get the fun of seeing some models blush, giggle and cover their faces when the scene is over and really just act completely different from what they act like in a normal boy/girl or solo scene. That's why you join this site. Much like other Kink sites there's that one thing most of their sites do and it's worth a join to see it.
I should mention that not every scene is solo. Some of the scenes have more than one girl which, in my opinion, only adds to the hectic style of these videos.
It's another departure from normal porn and it's recommended. I join several of their sites each year, once a year and I can say I've been disappointed with any of them.

Pros:
- One of the biggest, best, longest-running teen sites on the internet.
- Going to put this in because it's rare these days, very responsive webmaster who helps with any and everything you ask.
- Very good quality videos and photo sets.
- TBP/PU price is good, especially if you've never been a member.
- Four updates per day, two videos and two picture sets. Can't beat that these days.
- Over 1,700 models. Will mention there's lots of eventual hardcore models who shot softer sets here on Nubiles in the beginning of their careers.
- They seem to be tinkering with the idea of becoming a network, though I actually rate this site Nubiles.net better than the network and it includes this site.
- Search engine on site is comprehensive and I believe it's very accurate based on my years of collecting Nubiles videos.
- Download speeds are very good (7.2 MB/sec), I can reach a little over 8 MB/sec, but many sites won't even reach 5 MB/sec.
- Navigation works well (See bottom line)
Cons:
- I know I never would have believed this, but seeing pretty young women getting naked then masturbating or having sex with another girl or even guy can become repetitive.
- You'll run into some naming/alias issues with some of the Euro models, but that's pretty common.
I reached on those two. Crickets are now out.
Bottom Line:
I'll start by saying this is one of the sites that once made me say, "I think they have a hot teen factory in their studio." I don't know how they do it, but it's as if Nubiles just churns out hot teens everyday. I have a lot of single male friends! Where do they get these young women?
I've had a long-running complaint with nearly every site that has Euro models from the mid-2000s forward. I'm obsessive about my filing of model content. Like every other site featuring these models, there's some odd names/aliases. I will say Nubiles has gotten a lot better about this one.
My other complaint is one I'm sure they've heard before. Sometimes the scenes lack passion or believable interest from the model. The scenes being in similar locations and doing similar actions, only leads to more problems with it becoming repetitive, but ...
In their defense, many of these models are shooting their first porn scenes or are in the very early stages of their career. It's a trade-off I think we have to accept as porn users. The girls show genuine shyness. To some that might make the scenes even hotter, but to some it's going to make the scene not as hot as we thought it would be. It's a fine-line and I've chose not to take off points for it this time.
What you do get is a staggering collection of young women, teasing, naked, masturbating. There's some girl/girl scenes and boy/girl scenes, but I mostly like the solo scenes. It's hard for me to even comprehend "over 1700 models". Most of you know I'm one of those numbers people. That 1,700 models number means if you wanted to you could see a new model everyday for 4.5 years. I ran out of characters in the pros, but I'll add it here, all this content is exclusive too.
I reviewed the Nubiles Porn network a month or so ago and didn't like it as good as Nubiles.net, even though Nubiles.net is included with it. I just didn't like the slight navigational differences. The network has a new, cleaner navigational interface so it makes Nubiles.net feel outdated. I've always had trouble deciding how important one aspect of porn sites is in comparison to a different aspect.
I feel comfortable after reviewing over 250 sites to say the same thing I said way back in 2008, "The models and content makes a site". That's why I scored the network lower. It has good content, good models, but I see no use for it. I don't want to turn this into a business rant, but my general way of thinking was, "Why not spend that money on upgrading on Nubiles.net?" That's why I'm not a webmaster. I'm also in no position to question Nubiles webmaster. He's one of the best and has been for years. I think he moved up into a class by himself when Shap sold Twistys.
The bonus sites included with Nubiles.net are the very sites that comprise the Nubiles Porn network. They are scenes with a common theme. Most of which were obviously created to break the formulaic style of Nubiles.net. I can appreciate it and like all of the content.
Nubiles.net has four updates per day. It's nearly unheard of in 2016. Their picture sets are excellent in quality, always start with the model dressed, strip down, to spreading their legs fully nude. The videos are your standard young woman gets naked, teases a little, then masturbates. Formulaic? Sure. But it works. I'm starting to think our complaining about the scenes being too similar might turn into a "don't fix what isn't broke" situation. I'm not saying the network will cause Nubiles to fail, but I've seen it happen with other top-tier sites that try the network route.
Despite preferring the network's navigation, I don't think Nubiles is at all bad. The search engine alone is worth a few visits just to see how many combinations you can come up with. There are 15 attributes (age, boob size) you can choose from. There are 15 outfits (thong, skirt) to choose from. There are 9 actions (Sybian, lesbian) to choose from and finally 3 environments to choose from. There's even a button to select "girls only" to remove any scenes with males in them. There's an alphabetical model list. An option to pick what the most sexual action the model does (topless to sex).
So, why am I still holding out on a perfect 100 rating? Personal preferences. I do like curvy models. There's not many here and I don't think curvy is Nubiles audience so it's understandable. If you don't mind that you'll be very happy with this site. It's a little like Met-Art, but more sexual. It's a little like Twistys, but has more character and less glam. And it's a lot like Nubiles from 10 years ago. Even when I felt I had valid complaints in previous reviews, it's been in my top sites. And that's because of the content and quality of models. They're consistently very good as long as you're able to see around the shyness of some of the models and able to realize you're watching a young woman get naked on camera for one of the very first times in her career.

Pros:
- A site that I always seem to return to. Thought it would be a good choice to get my 500th experience point here on PU.
- It's a site that can't really be explained by just a simple title like "Public Disgrace".
- Around 360 full scenes, videos and photos for all the scenes.
- You'll see scenarios used in the scenes that you've probably thought about and some that you'll start thinking about.
- Site works well, but it's also pretty basic, scroll, download, scroll, download. Using the navigational buttons isn't much help.
- Like all other Kink sites it has very high production values. These people aren't just shoving out some scene that looks like the last 100 updates.
- Great download speeds. I'm averaging 8 MB/s, most sites I download from only reach 6 MB/s and 6 MB/s is my average.
- One new scene per week.
- Some very long scenes if you like that.
- Lots of outdoors and public scenes.
Cons:
- Believe it or not, I wanted to give it a 100, something I've never done. Thought it would go good with reaching 500 experience points. Something I never thought I was possible. But there's no zip downloads for the pictures and that's been a big no-no for me for years. Took 4 points off for it.
- Took another point off for the disgrace part. I've always struggled with the disgracing of men or women. But only took 1 point off since the site is named Public Disgrace. I knew what I was getting into.
Bottom Line:
I don't think any site works for me in the ways Public Disgrace does. I'll have a little fun with this part. A big part of my enjoyment of porn has to do with the fantasy aspect of it. This fantasy could be me being one of the random guys standing around watching the scene being filmed in an adult video store (do those even exist anymore?) to my self-abusive side imagining my wife (girlfriends in the past) being the woman in the scene. Neither one is particular healthy, but I do need this type of change from mainstream porn scenes.
I always turn to the Kink sites to break my boredom with mainstream porn. The good part with Public Disgrace is it only updates once a week so if you have the hard drive space, you can catch up with every past scene then just join sporadically to pick up the new updates.
What you're getting here is the closest thing I know of to public sex. I've tried the ones going for the more realistic belief (spy cams, voyeur cams, security cams), but I'm able to convince myself on most of Public Disgrace's scenes being authentic. I find it easier to convince myself than trying to watch those green shaded cam videos. So there's the funny part about me and my interest in this site. It lets my fantasies feel realistic.
I guess if a person wanted to nitpick they could say there's no 1080p videos and if there are, I've not found them. The newest updates highest option available is 720p. Bitrates are very high at 5,000+ so they stretch pretty cleanly to a 1080p screen/monitor.
And I will always nitpick about zip downloads for picture sets. I feel strongly about this on a site that is shot mostly in public. Videos work good, but photos let you see not only the action, but also the people in the background, their expressions, reactions, things you most likely miss in videos.
The disgrace part isn't as bad as a I remembered it being. I still see a lot of it as immature. Kind of makes you think you're watching Bang Bros, but instead of goofy/annoying college frat boy talk from the cameraman and crew, you get people writing on the woman's body. Could live without claiming to disgrace a woman by having her have sex in front of a crowd. That part to me is also an insult to the members of the site since I'm supposed to assume the model is disgraced.
As for public sex and nudity, they could do just that and I'd be happy. I feel like porn these days has become too vanilla and predictable. There's nothing predictable about a girl suddenly bending over in a bar and spreading her butt for anal sex in front of 200 people.
A strong suit of Kink's is that they know the models who are capable of doing this type of porn and it shows in the scenes. Just like in regular life, we all have different fetishes and dislikes. I think the majority of Kink's models love doing these types of unique scenes. I'm guessing most have an exhibitionist side that feels holed up by 127 scenes of them having bed or couch porn sex. You get some really great, genuine scenes here thanks to that.
There's also some added mystery and intrigue to the scenes. For example: A 22 year old college girl being tied up outside for sex with four men. Only comes an older man and she starts giving him a blowjob while the other four men take turns with her. Is it because she's getting paid to give the blowjob or is it that she got that horny over the four men taking turns with her? You don't get that with the vast majority of porn sites.
I've said it many times before. There's something to be said for being different and original. I'm not for sure if new porn fans would really be into these scenes. Sometimes there's 10-15 minutes of build-up before there's any sex. It kind of reminds me of going from reading a magazine to reading a Hemingway novel. It's definitely not for everyone just like Hemingway isn't for everyone.
I was surprised by the near my max download speeds and it was on all scenes I downloaded. It's needed as some of the scenes go over 2 GB.
Everything else was as expected. Lots of pretty (many tattoos) girls doing things that go beyond a girl doing just regular porn. That's a major turn-on for me and no site does it better. On the downside, there are times I won't even look at Public Disgrace for 3-4 days. Either way, it's a great site that sometimes will push things a little further than I think they should. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a site that is nearly guaranteed to be different than any porn you are watching right now. And just remember, let your fantasies require realism. They might be opposites, but if you can do that with this site you'll probably like it as much as I do.

Pros:
- A network of DVD sites/studios. Including several that used to be standalone sites like Doghouse Digital and Sweet Sinner.
- A little over 1,000 DVDs as of 5/9/2016.
- Good mixture of genres.
- Very good search engine for a DVD site (always worry about this one on a DVD site, will explain).
- Good TBP/PU price
- Good blend of newer (date of production) DVDs/scenes with older DVDs/scenes, will explain below.
- Very high DL speed for me.
- Only one ad in the members area and it's at the bottom of the page. Probably should give them two pros for that one.
- 11 scenes added in the last week, notice, this is a DVD/studio site, but they do not upload full DVDs as updates, they do one scene at a time.
Cons:
- A DVD site that has a good, working, easy to use search engine always makes me think it's not showing me all of the possible results. It's kind of like having an anti-virus software that never shows any viruses in its searches. That's probably an unfair con, but it's worth mentioning.
- Despite having a nice variation of genres, the content here becomes repetitive.
- Updates are similar to the search engine. There's a newer update of a scene with "Sandy Fantasy" in it. Sandy Fantasy originally known as Zsanett Egerhazi later became known as Sandy from Club Sandy looks to be early to mid 20s in it. She's 37 or 38.
Bottom Line:
I joined Sweet Sinner years ago and really enjoyed their content. I also had been a member of Doghouse Digital years ago. Mile High Media is now the network name for the network those two sites and two others comprise. The other sites, Reality Junkies and Sweetheart Video are both well known as DVD studios that are focused on reality porn and lesbian porn, respectively.
First of all, it's a good deal. If you like DVD sites like Videobox, Videosz, it's a very good alternative to them. Even though there's not a claim to the content being exclusive, I really haven't seen much (if any) of the content here on DVD sites.
Which is probably the biggest con also. It's another DVD site. If you're burnt out on DVD sites then this one likely won't help matters for you. I think it's the argument against exclusivity now. While I've not seen these scenes on other sites, I have seen scenes with the same model doing the same genre, in the same outfit ... but with a different man or backdrop. And so goes the case against DVD sites and the studios that shoot porn that is exactly like the porn another studio shoots.
As example, while thinking I had seen one of Mile High Media's scenes named Couples Seeking Teens, it was actually Couples Seducing Teens that I had seen on another site. Seeing that this is a very narrow genre (one woman has to look really young), you end up with the same models as other sites/studios use in this type of scene.
Having said that, I don't regret joining this network. I haven't been a member on the other DVD sites for several months so the monotony was broken.
I said this about another DVD site, but don't remember which, Mile High Media's studios have tried being risky. They're marketing to a mostly straight male audience, but have tried tranny and even m/m/f with bisexual male. There's so many sites that never take risks, it's at least nice to see someone trying to at least try something different.
I'm counting roughly 1,020 DVDs as of today. Roughly 4,800 scenes. Right at 3,700 of those scenes are available in 1080p quality which is really unheard of for a DVD site. It earned them a 5 point bonus.
I could be completely wrong on this, but I could have sworn that Sweet Sinner had pictures for download with each scene, but whether they did or not, they don't have them now.
Maybe my joining this site and the reasons for it will help others. I like collecting DVD porn. This network has a lot of DVDs, especially in HD, that I don't have. I think the matter of exclusivity is that some of the scenes on the DVDs have been on once exclusive sites. I'm making an assumption based on the Sandy Fantasy scene, which is how she was known years ago on the DDF sites. DDF also had lesbian scenes of women that involved lots of kissing. This one particular scene is from a DVD titled "Girls Kissing Girls".
However, being a collector, I also will say in their defense that I believe the vast majority of the content is exclusive.
I would recommend it to DVD collectors and those looking for hard to find scenes.

Pros:
- A network centered mostly around the great nubiles.net site.
- Fairly good mixture of solo, b/g, g/g, threesomes.
- Download speeds are very good and more importantly, are consistent from day to day.
- Network itself has excellent navigation, but there is a con on this one too.
- Still considers pictures to be an important part of porn and that's a big plus in my book.
- Newer picture sets can compare in technical quality to Met-Art, ALS, etc...
- There's a lot of porn on this network, but it's going to be mentioned again in the cons.
- Some interesting niches like the DriverXXX site and I really like the TeenBallerinasFucked scenes.
- I think it's a fair price through TPB/PU. The content is all exclusive.
- Update schedule is good overall, but the network and the 8 sites included, only update a couple times a week. But it's very important to note that Nubiles.net comes with this network and it updates multiple times per day.
Cons:
- Damn networks. No offense is meant, but for whatever reason, Nubiles.net has become the feeder for Nubiles Network. I'll explain it in the bottom line.
- Navigation is really good on the 8 network sites. For whatever reason (I'll probably say that a lot), nubiles.net isn't listed within the network even though it is included. This means you have to sign in each time you want to access it and the username/password is one of those randomly generated ones.
- I don't know what percentage, but I've downloaded scenes from network sites that are from Nubiles.net. They're just more focused videos, removing the 3-5 minutes strip, build-up and jumping to the sex instead. I've already got many of these scenes and I have a fast forward button.
Bottom Line:
I felt really strange about reviewing this network because I'm not scoring it higher than I will be scoring Nubiles.net. That's a problem since Nubiles.net comes with this network. Then I noticed that TBP scored Nubiles higher so I don't feel as strange about it now.
Nubiles.net needs very little introduction. It's one of the best teen porn sites ever. We can all find faults with it at times, but if you're looking for cute, teen girls doing porn, it's probably the most consistent site you'll find. This network it is now a part of is a good idea. My biggest complaint with Nubiles has always been based around the scenes being too similar. This network allows them to add more niches and themes.
First problem, much like other networks, there are sites here that have just stopped updating. It makes me feel like these networks are just chasing the newest trend in porn. I remember casting sites being very popular a little while back and there's one on this network, but it hasn't updated since December 2015. The interesting and intriguing DriverXXX site is also on this network, but it hasn't updated since December 2015. I live near a big tourist area in the Appalachian Mountains. We go up there every few months and it reminds me of porn networks. They'll be building the newest, hottest trend themed park. We'll go back and they'll be building something else, completely giving up and forgetting the once hottest trend.
Just like those two sites no longer updating, they're now updating stepsiblingscaught and teacherfucksteens, two of the more popular genres in porn these days.
Can't complain about the technical quality. Scenes from 2008 and on have 720p option and 1080p option since 2012. I've said before their videos are some of the clearest, smoothest, I've seen, but you should know the 1080p newer ones can be very large. I've seen as high as close to 3 GB for one scene. Their pictures are real standouts. They have downloads in 3 different sizes with the biggest size being in the 5600 long end range.
So, why score Nubiles.net higher than Nubiles.net's network? Less hassle. When I sign in to Nubiles-Porn which is a hub for the network, there's 8 sites listed at the top. Each of those sites can be accessed with a click. No need to login again either. There's a problem. Nubiles.net isn't up there in the toolbar. You can find it over in a dropdown box and you have to sign back in to access it. I got over that. After downloading many new Nubiles.net scenes, I decided to download some of the network site scenes. My apologies to those who had posted a comment about this problem. I join Nubiles without looking at comments. This is my 23rd time as a member in the last 8 years.
So I see a scene on the network's hub page that looks good. Download it. Start watching it. I've seen it before. It's a scene from Nubiles.net with the stripping removed, straight to the sex. Now see, I got over the signing back in part and Nubiles.net not being listed in the toolbar, but edited Nubiles.net scenes? That throws a monkeywrench into my organizing of scenes.
I'll stop what's turning into a negative rant. The site/network is still very good, but I found myself going to the Nubiles.net site and not fooling with the network. I don't understand why those scenes can't just be put on Nubiles.net. I enjoyed the DriverXXX scenes and really like the TeenBallerinasFucked scenes. I don't see the difference in them and anything I would normally see on Nubiles.
It's still highly recommended and if I get the time I'll post a separate review about Nubiles.net, which I will rate in the 90s.

Pros:
- One of the biggest networks on the internet. As of 4/18/2016, there are 45 sites included in membership.
- One of the best networks for those who like a racially diverse mix of models.
- Nearly every possible genre is covered to some extent.
- 720p videos or higher have been available since late 2009.
- Averages two updates per day across the network. Pictures and screencaps are included with most videos and are downloadable in zips.
- Can't believe I'm putting this as a pro, but they have a "lock" icon on the scenes that are not included in standard membership.
- This is purely subjective, but I still find their humor to be a plus. Some of the scenes are so corny (in story) that I can't imagine a great actor acting out the parts.
- They're really good at what they do. Which can become formulaic, but at least they bring in top talent.
- Some fairly unique and "fun" sites like Money Talks and CFNM Secret.
Cons:
- Download limits, though I disagree with them, they are at least now clear about what the limits are and are at least good about unlocking your account 24 hours after you hit the limit for the day. It's also consistent now, unlike how it used to be.
- Ads, ads and more ads. They've got ads mixed in with the scenes. Ads in the margin. Ads in the header. And the forced ad when you login. They used to annoy me, but if it keeps the price low it eventually becomes not as bad.
- 45 sites is a lot. Quite a few of those don't update and haven't updated in years. Not for sure why they don't create an archive and just stick all those in it instead of keeping the individual sites active with no updates. Will cover those in Bottom Line.
- If cameraman talking, guys being silly bothers you, you will have some problems with this network.
Bottom Line:
I've never been able to be overly-critical of Reality Kings. The amount of exclusive content. The varied genres, races of models, just always seemed more thorough than the other big networks. I still feel that way.
I know there's lots of reviews of Reality Kings and quite a bit of negativity towards them, but I've not had any problems with their network. The download limit is frustrating, but I've learned to workaround it now that they've made it consistent and simple to understand. I do want to say there's two different listings of the download limits. One says 50 movie scenes per day. The other says 10 GB a day. Over the last few weeks, I've hit the download limit twice and both times it was after downloading 50 full scenes, both of those times were well over 10 GB, so I'm going with the 50 full scenes explanation as it's on their site. That's a lot of porn. You could easily download 300 GB+ in a month at that rate.
The biggest draw for me has always been the diverse models. There's slim, medium, very curvy, nearly every race and I prefer that variety over one standard type of model. Like most, I sometimes get annoyed by the guys talking, but other times it's kind of funny. It reminds me a lot of the guys I grew up with. You even get some ongoing humor from the regular male talent like J-Mac and his line about being in college. He's been using that line with the college girls for about 10 years now.
The technical aspects of the site are very good, but like a lot of sites, they started counting "HD" when it was 720p, so it's almost impossible to see when they started doing 1080p, but all of the newest scenes have 1080p and 720p started roughly in October 2009. I've always complained about networks that count their sites so they can advertise "we have X amount of sites". Reality Kings does that too; I'm going to list the active ones.
So, that's 20 active sites with 25 inactive sites. There's a few, as noted above, that haven't updated in at least a month, but look to use roughly a monthly release schedule so there could be more updates coming with those.
I actually think 20 active sites would be a better way to advertise since there are so many networks these days with less than 10 active sites, but 45 sounds better to new members.
As a notice to others, they, like Bang Bros, did buy some popular amateur sites that went broke and have all the content from those included in the network and are counting those in their sites. Some of those sites have very good content on them, but haven't updated since the mid-2000s. Which also means you take a big hit in technical quality on those sites.
I do like the newer sites they've added over the last few years. The Moms Bang Teens site has a lot of Brandi Love content and if you're not familiar with her she's one of the better porn models these days. Great energy and believable. The high score is also justified, in my mind, by them having multiple sites that are in the top 2-3 of their genre. Those are:
I haven't had enough time to tell if their newest one, RK Prime, is going to be a success or not. From the handful of scenes they have up so far it looks like a typical gonzo/location site with some voyeurism thrown in. The scenes I've watched from it are good, but I don't know if it will do as good as Moms Bang Teens. And that is what I've always preferred about RK over the other networks. They seem to be a little ahead of the curve and try to do unique things with their content. I've always wondered when someone would try a site with a voyeur watching a couple have sex and RK Prime goes into that. It's far from an original idea, but you don't see it very often these days. I remember Vivid having an entire DVD series "The Watcher" that was extremely popular in the late 90s/early 2000s, but very few if any sites/studios have tried it since.
It has its faults, but if you pay attention, they've made it near impossible to click a scene you don't have access to and the download limits aren't near as bad as they used to be. I've said it before and still believe it, if the content wasn't good, we wouldn't be bothered by the download limits. To me, it's still the best of the American-based networks.

Pros:
- One of, if not the, top lesbian sites on the internet.
- Over 750 models, 1,558 videos, every video has accompanying photo set/screencaps that are downloadable.
- Roughly 3 updates a week.
- Older content has tons of scenes of the top-tier Euro models from the 2005-08 time period. Great for collectors of those models.
- Was the first site I saw with "tribbing" and there's quite a bit of it, it's one of my favorite parts of the lesbian porn. Also lots of kissing.
- A little confusion on how long they've had 1080p, it looks like they've started remastering the older videos, randomly, so there's some 1080p, then a newer one won't be 1080p, but it looks like they are all 1080p starting in 2006. Will go into that in BL.
- Good download speeds and navigation but will also go into navigation problem that might not be a problem for some.
- TBP/PU price is very good.
- Photo quality is good, but not great.
- A rare one these days, no ads in the member area!
Cons:
- There was several of these sites that were using the same "naming" system for Euro models and Sapphic Erotica still uses it. What this means is if you knew a model by a certain name there's a chance she won't be named the same here. The most obvious one for me that shows how confusing it can be is Eve Angel. I would think she's one of the best known Euro models. Her name on here is ... Daphne. I've seen her name as Eve, Eva, Evie, but Daphne is only used on this site and a few others also managed by the company who manages Sapphic Erotica.
- Like any porn that focuses on one genre, it can become boring.
- Some of the old videos that say they are HD 1080p, look like someone has taken an old video and upscaled it improperly as they're not as clear as the newer 1080p videos. Also had several videos to "fail" during download.
Bottom Line:
A bit of a mixed bag. I really do believe Sapphic does lesbian porn as good as anyone. At least for me and I'm of course, a male, who knows very little about real lesbian sex. So, lets put it this way, they do lesbian porn in a way that is directed at men. Not to say women and lesbians won't like it, but it's very similar to Viv Thomas' way of shooting lesbian porn. There's lots of kissing, focusing on the womens bodies, the action including tribbing is very good. I have a friend who is a lesbian that tells me tribbing is nothing more than the creation of a dirty man's fantasy and I tell her that's fine. It works.
I didn't score Sapphic as high as I thought I would. I've had numerous errors in downloads of older videos. I used to join this site 3-4 times a year and have a large back collection of thier content. When I saw the older videos showing up as HD, I downloaded them since I already have them, but mine are lower quality. As I said in cons, I am only assuming they've done some kind of upscaling to those source videos and it shows. While the videos are 1080p, they look stretched and blurry. Those are also the ones I'm getting the most errors on when downloading.
With that complaint out of the way, the newer content is still very good, the videos, dating back to 2007 or so are crystal clear 1080p. Anything before then is hit or miss.
I don't know if they've changed the way they do pictures, but a lot of the pictures are just screencaps from the videos. I know some of their old sets came with a video/photo set that wasn't spot-on identical.
The alias problem has always been a big problem for me since I am/was a collector of Euro models. Some of the models don't have aliases like Peaches, but most of the other well-known ones do. I've had long discussions/arguments with webmasters about this for over 10 years. They tell me they use the name the model on her release paper. Other people with knowledge of the behind the scenes work in porn have chimed in and said that's not true. That the sites originally did it to make a model "seem exclusive" to their site or to claim some kind of exclusivity to the model being on their site.
Sounds like a lot wrong with the site, but really it's not. The site works well, downloading is easy, clean interface and the action really is probably as close as we're going to get to real lesbian sex. It's very passionate, very believable and on top of that, nearly every model is very pretty/attractive.
I would recommend it for anyone into lesbian porn, at least as a one-time join, just to get the older videos which were some of the best porn I've ever seen.

Pros:
- A mostly non-nude, but still a provocative website.
- The price is excellent at $7.99/month through Porn Users or $27.99/year.
- High quality photography, technical quality is 1920 long end on the pictures and they are zipped for downloading.
- Updates roughly 4 times a week, it has been every other day since I joined.
- A concept lost in today's porn world ... women in sexy clothes in sexy poses.
- Models are attractive. I don't follow as much mainstream porn these days so I'm not for sure the percentage of just regular girls/porn models wanting to do something softer, but most look like girls you see everyday.
- Some great public flashing too.
Cons:
- Well, it isn't a con for me, but could be for some ... there's not much nudity.
- I'm always for bigger pictures. I consider the 1920 high end to be about the average quality these days.
- There's not a lot of videos if you're a video lover.
Bottom Line:
I'll start by saying my cons were simply based on a porn fan joining a porn site only to find out there's not many videos or nudity on this site.
A few months before this review, I posted on the Porn Users forum about how I would like to see a website of girls in normal clothes, doing normal activities with some sexual poses thrown in. I had no idea this site existed until I saw lk2fireone's review of it. I had several long-term memberships that were expiring so I waited until then to give Zishy a try.
It's important to mention that my favorite genre(s) of porn is voyeur/exhibitionism. Even when my favorite genre was solo girls, it was mostly based on me liking the feeling of me watching the model masturbate without her knowing it. The mental part of porn is a big part of my enjoyment of porn. I grew up in Southern California. Seeing girls nude wasn't that big of a deal since we could go down to San Diego and watch the college girls in their tiny bikinis. Being a former football player led me to many chances to see athletic girls working out in the now popular yoga pants, tight shorts, so this type of site is right up my alley.
I'll always struggle with anything that comes off as artsy and some of the content here does at times, but that struggle is just because I like the women to look as natural as possible.
Overall, this site really could score 100. It does everything it says it does and a little more as there is some nudity, it just isn't blatant nudity. Good timing, maybe a slight tug at the panties and you get some "accidental" nudity. There's also something rare in some sets. Especially the girls in the workout shorts. You get a little bit of a wet spot on their shorts. Which to me is as arousing as a fully nude, legs spread open model.
And that's why it could score a 100. I believe there's content on here that is completely unique to this site. I don't mean in terms of the content being exclusive (it is), but what I mean is, it's capable of arousing you in ways no other sites are doing. That counts for something in today's cookie-cutter porn industry.
The updates have been consistent every other day since I joined and there's not been one I've skipped over. The photo sets are arranged well as well. Meaning, there's not 12 different pictures that look exactly the same except for one slight movement. The non-nude aspect helps here since the models are usually getting nude way too fast on most sites, but here the fully nude never happens so it's a good balance.
One of my favorites is the Natalie Austin Dress Test. I was a little familiar with her work on FTV before seeing the Dress Test set here on Zishy. It's a set of Natalie wearing a skin tight off white dress with no panties, lighting, shadows, angles all come into play. Also the Carol Jasabe sets are some of my favorite photos I have. She really is one of the prettiest models I've seen in years. Which is another thing that I think makes this site very good. The models are more focused on being pretty, seductive and teasy instead of in your face slutty. Time and place for everything is what I was taught. Seeing that there's not many sites that focus on the pretty, seductive, teasy, it gives Zishy another unique trait.
The site reminds me a little of FTV, especially in the photo sets from FTV. Hopefully that's not taken as a bad thing. I was just talking about how FTV could get a 100 in my review of their site. The only things holding Zishy back from a 100 are technical aspects of their site.
- Bigger pictures
- More videos
Which is me saying the "negative" part of the site is that I want more of the content. That's hardly a negative.
I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. Actually, I would, but I know some wouldn't like the very little nudity part, however, if you know that's what you're getting or not getting (in this case), I really would recommend it to anyone who can get beyond the "very little nudity" part.
I even found a little humor in my membership to Zishy. One of my biggest frustrations in porn is when a model's scene or photo set starts completely nude. I really think I can say if I had my choice between starting the scene fully nude with legs spread by the fifth picture or teasing nudity, teasing legs spread with good hand placement, I would take the teasing set. Hopefully this site will stick around for awhile. I'm going to go for the year membership once my one month is up.

Pros:
- A site that sells itself as being different from the normal, mainstream porn site ... and for the most part it succeeds.
- Daily updates, right at 2,302 videos in HD. If you accept 1280x720 as HD.
- Amateur content, some girl/girl, including some with 3+ girls and some boy/girl. Mostly solo and that's their strength.
- I think the price is fair for unique, exclusive content.
- Would think women who are into watching other women masturbating would be a big market here.
- There's no cameraman asking a million stupid questions...
Cons:
- Continuing from pros is the first con: Things are mostly artsy and tame here. I don't doubt the authenticity of the masturbation we see on this site, but I do wish the girls were more into the masturbation. (Further in BL)
- There's no pictures. If there are pictures I can't find them.
- I'm mostly positive on this site, but the navigation is terrible. I was last a member on here in 2007 (review in my history here). I honestly don't think they've changed anything about the navigation since then.
Bottom Line:
You would think my score might be lower than it is since there's some pretty big cons, but the quality of the content outweighs the downfalls.
This is a fairly straightforward website that promotes enjoyment for their performers/submitter and their audience alike. It's a good take on porn in today's cookie-cutter porn world, but that navigation is really bad. I would go as far as saying that I took off 10 points for the navigation.
The good parts: The girls seem like normal, average girls. Some are playful, some are even silly and many are shy. I like the dark-style of videos since it gives the viewer a little of a voyeur feel like you're peeping in on the masturbation. There's a fairly broad selection of model body types and ages. There are the occasional girl/girl (or even more than 2 girls) scenes and a few boy/girl scenes that sometimes just includes the guy giving the girl oral.
As with any site like this one, there will be models that aren't generally looked at as attractive, but I personally haven't seen any that I would call ugly.
Video quality is good and has been for a long time. They've been making HD videos long enough to have nearly 2,500 HD videos. Another mention that there are no photos. I really wouldn't want photos of the masturbation, but a few (maybe 5-10) in clothes would be nice.
Then there's the navigation:
Going to the home page opens up a scrolling page with the most recent 10 videos. Below those 10 are numbers, 370 (as of 3/15/2016) to be exact. If you're on the home page you are on page 1. You then click on page 2 and there's 10 more videos and the 369 other pages below them. Click on page 3 and you're getting 10 more videos with the numbers below them.
I have to keep a running tab on what page I was last on.
I will give them credit for at least renaming their scenes to whatever name they gave it on the website so you at least can look to see if you've downloaded a scene already.
Over in the left margin there's a group of categories, which I have no clue what they mean. Lucrabations is one. I didn't misspell that. It's how they have it spelled. Sure, I can click on it and find out what type of scene a Lucrabation is, but why should I have to do that?
It gets worse. If you go to the search function you have these options:
Categories (Home Made, Up Close, Etc)
Attribute (Solo, Friends, HD, Full HD)
Display Mode
Date
To show why it frustrates me:
I searched for "all categories, Full HD, Anytime"
0 results.
Which is understandable since they don't have any Full 1080p videos, but why even put the option in there? I already don't know what the categories stand for since they're mostly non-descriptive. Here those are just in case you're curious:
Studio, Home Made, Up Close, Fantasy and Adventures, Lucrabations, Loose Ends.
Fantasy and Adventures seems to be based around location, some are outside, some are in front of an open window, some are in the shower, etc...
With that being said, whose fantasy and adventures are we talking about?
Despite my complaints, I believe they do exactly what they say do. It's a site with a lot of amateur girls masturbating. They do the close-up camera on the face of the model at times, then between the legs, then between the boobs, it's different. I just wish they would make the site a little easier to use or I should say less time-consuming since you have to click through page after page to decide on what to download.
A tip I've been using to make the navigation a little more tolerable is to go into the search, mark all the boxes then enter a from date and a to date. Use a date that is easy to remember and make it a year period. This makes the scroll, click task a little less frustrating and makes it easier to use. I would still say it's the top in its genre. And would recommend it to those who like amateur solo and girl/girl videos, but have no interest in pictures.

Pros:
- Part of the Met-Art network, which means the quality is very high as are production values.
- Wanders away from the usual Met models, there's a fairly high percentage of at least medium build models and some very curvy ones. Count that one twice.
- Daily updates, but there doesn't seem to be any set pattern to the updates. Picture set can be an update. Video can be, but they don't follow a strict photo/video/photo style schedule. Will further in BL.
- Good download speeds which also seems to be true of the other Met-Art Network sites.
- There's some kinky thrown in which is pretty rare on this network. Light bondage/spanking.
- PU price is good and worth a monthly join.
- Large site overall: 825 models, 1,690 photo sets, 608 videos.
- Easy to use navigation, though they could add some options in the advanced search filters.
Cons:
- I'm starting to be annoyed by their ads over on the right of the screen. They have 10 ads that look similar to the updates for what I'm thinking are chat models. It breaks up the cleanness of the site's layout.
- They do a good job overall of creating scenes that are "erotic", but much like heartcore porn, the models are responsible for being believable. That can be hit or miss on here.
- Would like to see more videos. Especially videos of the photo sets, not meaning BTS, but instead I want to see the models in action.
- Should have put this on the other Met-Art Network site reviews. What need is there for a 20 second Met-Art Films logo at the beginning of every scene?
Bottom Line:
This site is one of the more unique sites on Met-Art's Network. There's no boy/girl scenes, but there are lesbian scenes and solo. Nothing here really makes you think of Met-Art except the high quality. They have models who are curvy and models who look like they turned 18 quite a few years ago, not days ago. I definitely prefer the models here over any of the other models on their network.
You also get some kinky scenes. Light bondage and girls spanking girls are the most common. I don't think "anal" falls into kinky anymore, but it is common to see anal masturbation on here. So you do get a little more than you are used to with a Met-Art site, but it's a welcome change for me.
My first and biggest problem with the site is the search feature. All of the sites on this network have the same or similar navigation and it's really simple to use. The thing is with a site like The Life Erotic you have many different scenarios in the scenes since they do go into kinkier content than the other network sites. The advanced search doesn't allow you to search for specific actions. Instead, you are left using the user tags. Which as most porn users know can be a pain. For example: "more of her please" is a tag. And my favorites: "perfect pussy", "beautiful pussy" and "wet pussy". What the hell's the difference? Anyway, you get my point. They should add another box to the advanced search.
You can't complain about the technical quality. Pictures are in the 5500 long end range and are downloadable in zips. Videos have the 1080p option. All 608 also have the 1080p option so you're not going to have to settle for lower quality even with their oldest content.
You might complain a little about the artsy-side of the site. I normally would including the dreaded hot candle wax dripping on the body of the model, but they sell it well. It fits with the scenes it's used in. Today was a good day to review this site since my favorite model (Rebeka) on this site is today's update and she's in a lace bodysuit which is also a favorite. If you're only into videos you might complain after a month's membership. I broke the total number down in the pros and here's the breakdown for February 2016:
29 photo sets, 12 videos. I'm not that bothered by the number as much as I would like to see an accompanying video of the photo sets. Like today's update of Rebeka, it's a photo set. She has 6 photo sets on the site, but 0 videos. On the other hand, it's probably unfair to complain about a site that updates 41 times in 29 days.
The lesbian scenes are very good. Though they also sometimes get a little artsy. One of their recent scenes shows an example of their writing/production quality. A model named Nasty S ties up Solana, spanks her a little, teases her entire body, then walks out of the scene. Leaving Solana turned on and having to masturbate. It might not sound like much, but it's a little different than what most sites do with masturbation scenes.
I would make a comparison of this site to a French site with Art in its name except there's no boy/girl scenes on The Life Erotic. I think the best part of this site is the content is enjoyable. You don't feel like you've already seen the scene before watching it since they throw the twists and turns in. It works in keeping the content unique. It will go on my steadily dwindling "revisit site" list once my membership runs out.

Pros:
- ALS Scan is a site about young women which adds some believable, more life-like scenarios than your average porn site does.
- I've joked about it before and continue to feel like ALS has a factory somewhere off the grid that produces these innocent, pretty, girl-next door types who like being naked.
- I can't say for sure how much the old owner (Met-Art managed) is still involved, but nearly all of the casting videos I've watched have him talking in them. And that's a big plus (See BL)
- Daily updates, usually photo set one day, video the next with occasional BTS and interview videos thrown in.
- Long time ALS fans will like the PU price. I joined this site, 17 times, from 2006-2011 at $29.95 each time. One of the few sites a year membership is worth considering.
- Boy/girl scenes also show up some. For many years it was just a solo/lesbian site.
- High quality all-around (numbers in BL).
- Site has a personality. There's a fun, relaxed vibe with most of the content.
Cons:
- Any site like this one can become repetitive.
- Several longtime PU members didn't like the use of gynecological instruments and close-ups.
Bottom Line:
Admittedly, I always preferred ALS Angels to ALS Scan, but it was solely based on ALS Angels having curvier models. ALS Scan's technical quality was better even back then. This is based on how ALS Angels operated, if a girl was "too curvy" for ALS Scan she ended up on ALS Angels. What's too curvy? Eve Angel. All 5'6" 130 pounds of her. Looking at ALS Scan's current models they still prefer the smaller, slimmer girls. Back then the webmaster Alex was fair to the curvier girls by having ALS Angels for them, but I never really understood how a woman with 36C boobs could be considered "too curvy". That at least should let you know you're not going to get a lot of curvy models here.
What you do get are lots of slimmer, sportier, playful girls. I mentioned in the pros that I hear Alex's name in the casting videos and believe he's a very important part of ALS' success. Everyone seems to enjoy working with him and being around him. His interviews with models are top-notch, maybe the best in the business (sorry Zoliboy). The models almost always are relaxed during their scenes and I do believe you get much more emotion and enjoyment from the models when they are comfortable.
The casting videos are worth mentioning as I hadn't seen them recently. They're filled with new talent looking to make a good first impression. Though the casting videos do not have any type of sexual action in them. They do have full nudity.
The regular solo scenes on ALS are some of the best you'll find, though you will run into some extreme insertions and gynecological closeups. As much as I like lesbian scenes, my favorite girl/girl scenes in all of porn are here on ALS. I think it started innocent enough. ALS has always had a female assistant or two, but unlike other sites, they will work this assistant into a solo scene by a model. The assistant will then help the model lube up, insert something they normally couldn't insert and even a little licking, kissing, fingering.
The boy/girl scenes are mostly misses for me, but that's because I don't join ALS to see boy/girl scenes. Though I shouldn't say much since these scenes are pretty rare. I'm only counting roughly one per month boy/girl scene.
ALS Scan has always been a site with high technical quality standards. That hasn't changed and unlike a lot of sites these days, they still give you a huge amount of photos per photo set. You rarely see a set with less than 200 photos and some go as high as 700 photos, with 300-350 being an average. These photo sets are available in downloadable zips and come in 3 qualities: low (1000 high end), medium (2000 high end), large (4500 high end).
There's roughly 1,000 videos in 1080p quality. Some of the newer videos are also available in 4k, though I honestly don't download those since I don't have a 4k monitor nor do I want to start investing in more hard drives to store all those huge files in.
The biggest plus you will see with Met-Art's management of ALS Scan is in the navigation. Used to you would open a page that had tiny thumbnail headshots of every single model on the site. Now the preview pictures are larger and there's easy to use and find "photography", "latest updates", "videos" tabs at the top of the page as well as a model directory.
It's worth searching back into the older content to find all of the "beach" trips, where webmaster Alex takes several models to a beach and they record everything from playing around on the beach to masturbation in front of the other models while the other models eat breakfast. You get a lot of unscripted, humorous moments in those.
I still believe Met-Art made the biggest and best impact at Viv Thomas, but ALS Scan didn't really need a lot done to it. Overall, I think it's the best site in the Met-Art network and brings the best of "girl" porn you can get. There's plenty of uniqueness and creativity as well. From body-painting in public to public flashing to just plain nudity and masturbation. It's those female assistant one becoming involved ones that I like best, but truthfully, there's hardly ever a scene I don't like.
The cons are nothing more than me nitpicking. One that I didn't mention is the wrong update dates on scenes. I saw one yesterday that said it was released in 2010, but the "cover" of the scene said "Budapest 2007". Again, it's hardly worth complaining about.
One other thing to mention that could bother some is the use of remastered old scenes as new updates. These don't happen that much and I personally like them.
One of my all-time favorite sites and it's one of the few that continues to impress me consistently. Highly recommended.

Pros:
- Met-Art does a fine job of keeping the legendary Viv Thomas' site running strong.
- Watching the videos and looking at the photos almost makes you believe the photographers either studied Viv's style of shooting or were his apprentices.
- Lots of lesbian action, a long-time strong point of Viv Thomas.
- Daily updates, video one day, photo set the next day, video the next and so on.
- Very high technical quality (will go into in BL).
- Quite a bit of Viv's older content is still here, but there's a slight con below about this.
- Easy to navigate. A search box. An advanced search option. Update tab, models tab, photos tab, videos tab. Everything works great.
- Passionate sex, another Viv staple and it's still here. Lots of kissing between the women.
- Photos are downloadable in zips with the high quality option nearing 6000 on the high end.
- Top-tier Euro models ... if those still exist and once again, just like Viv always booked.
Cons:
- There's not a lot to complain about it here. I think Met-Art has improved this site, though I scored it a 92 many years back and a 92 today, but there's improvement. I just think the whole field of porn sites have improved quite a bit.
- Could be a little better if the videos had BTS on the thumbnail so I don't click them thinking it's an action video.
Bottom Line:
Viv Thomas had two sites. One was this one I'm reviewing, the other was just Viv Thomas Video. Viv Thomas Video site is one of my all-time favorite sites for lesbian content. This one I'm reviewing used to be mostly photos with the occasional interview/BTS video, but it now has Viv Thomas Video level videos.
Viv Thomas was one of the innovators of modern Euro porn. He specialized in the passionate lesbian sex world known as "leg sex". Anytime you saw pictures of Viv at an adult function, there would be 3-5 top models standing around him, hugging him, etc...
It's not unusual for one of his lesbian scenes to be 25-30 minutes in length, with 20 minutes of the scene being the models being fully dressed, kissing, hands up each other shirts, down each others pants, tongues in each others mouth. And somehow, Met-Art in buying the site, have been able to closely replicate Viv's style.
The first big technical change: Viv's sites never were at the top of field in terms of technical quality. Seems like his photos always topped out at 2000 high end and videos were 360p back when he was running the sites. The photos are now coming in at near 6000 long end and the videos are loaded with options. The biggest surprise for me, though it's not something I download is the amount of videos with the 4K option. They date back to May 2015, so that's 9-10 months of videos with the 4K option. The last 4-5 years of videos also have the 1080p option.
Then there's the ones I usually avoid at all costs. The interview videos, but you have to see Viv's if you haven't. They're unlike any interview video of models you've seen. Viv never seems awestruck by the models or silly or demanding of ignorant information. He just talks to them like they are his friends. I always thought those were a nice touch.
There's also quite a bit of content on this site. As of 2/9/2016, there's 2,663 photo sets and over 1,300 videos. Thanks to the new ownership, Met-Art has started filming these scenes similar to how Sex Art does. There's a similar basis in 4-5 scenes and they are grouped together so you can watch them in succession if you wanted to do that.
You'll have a hard time finding a single unattractive model here and there's at least some curvier models than most Euro sites are doing these days. I know that by giving it a 92, I'm grouping it in the "best of class" and I believe it is and it's a class it's not even usually categorized in ... lesbian. I prefer it over all the other lesbian sites. Met-Art's network has quite a few of these sites they've bought from the original producers and I think this is the one they've done the best job with. Highly recommended.

Pros:
- A nice alternative for when you've viewed every model on Met-Art.
- Owned by Met-Art, has similarly high production values as Met-Art's other sites.
- Update schedule is straightforward. Updates daily. You get 1 video a week and 6 photo sets per week.
- Videos have 1080p option (since early 2007) and photos are close to 6000 on the long end and have been for five years. Prior to that they were still over 4000 on the long end.
- 320 models with most having multiple scenes/videos/photo sets.
- Has always been a little more risky than Met-Art has been, though Met-Art is similar to Errotica Archives now in terms of what all they show.
- Quite a few girls you don't see on many sites, which led to me joining it since they had 3 models I've collected for nearly 10 years.
- I'm going to say it's exclusive content, but the archive in the name bothers me since this site is owned by Met-Art. I don't recognize any of the sets.
Cons:
- I had a love/hate relationship with Met-Art for many years and I kind of feel the same way about Errotica Archives. They have the models, the high technical quality, then I open a photo set and everything feels bland.
- Videos that tease masturbation by ... masturbating. I like tease as much as anyone does, but if you're going to be fully nude, legs spread, touching yourself, just keep going instead of rolling over into another sexual position only to repeat the above "tease".
- Site kind of feels like a knock-off of Met-Art or an extension, which I think it used to be offered in a bundle with Met-Art years ago.
- Navigation needs a "photos" tab. It has a "top photos" tab which shows me the highest rated or most popular photos, but doesn't line all the photo sets up for me. Videos/films has its own tab, so I don't get why there's not a photo tab.
Bottom Line:
These type of sites are always hard for me to review. Naked, beautiful women. Showing everything they have. Only to disappear like an oasis. Gives new meaning to came and gone.
This site does nearly everything right. Consistent updates, high technical quality videos and photos in zip downloads. Price is good with the PU discount. But I've seen it all before. The main draw for me was the content of models Veronica Fasterova (Verunka on this site), Dominika A/Dominika C (Dominika on this site) and Chiara. Errotica Archives has over 40 photo sets and videos of these 3 models who I've collected for 5+ years each.
Beyond those three there was some interest, but most of the content is fairly predictable and tame. There are sets with more than one girl in them, but somehow they have figured out a way to take 75-100 photos without the models doing anything remotely sexual. The videos show the model masturbating, starting to get into it only to quickly change positions and start this same pattern again.
I was more open to these types of sets a few years ago, but I just don't get much out of them these days.
I do think the site is very good at what it does. Young, slim, nude models frolicking in the park. Running around naked prior to the filming even starting since most sets start with the model completely nude. Which is a no-no with me. Technically, the site is a 90, but in terms of entertainment for me it's maybe an 80 ... and that's a maybe. I went with 82 since it is a good site, but it would be higher for anyone who likes artsy, pretty pictures.

Pros:
- One of the longest-running, largest European model networks on the internet.
- The fact that I'm worried about character limit in the pros should be a pro in and of itself.
- Multiple sites in this network had long runs as successful standalone sites, you now get them all for one low price.
- Averages two updates per day across the network. Video and picture set included in each update.
- Had a TBP/PU discount of $14.95 when I joined.
- 12,540 exclusive scenes.
- Has been split into three separate networks, 21 Sextury, 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals. Each requires a separate membership, but I had over 15,000 credits on my account and used those to join the other two networks, will give full explanation in bottom line.
- Lifetime membership includes credits earned for loyalty. The lifetime membership allows you to sign in even after your membership runs out to see what all new content has been added.
- Generally easy network to navigate.
- Excellent download speeds.
Cons:
- I'm guessing the credits system will always be somewhat confusing for new(er) members.
- The splitting of the networks makes it harder to find old scenes unless you remember which site they were from.
- Going to use the word "confusing" again as a member of 21 Sextury's sites for 10+ years, even I find the layout confusing.
Bottom Line:
There's been a lot of confusion on 21 Sextury over the last 5 years. They originally just put all of their sites on one network and had a descending monthly price scale for loyal members. Then they added the credits system. Then they decided to split the one network site into two networks. Then they added a completely new network, 21 Naturals. I'm all for change/evolution in technology, but it can be a little overwhelming and confusing.
I'll start with the credit system. By using the same email/login each time you join, you receive loyalty points. These loyalty points can be used for a couple of things:
You can sign-in after your membership has ended and use credits to buy a single new scene that has been added as example. You can even renew or start a membership to any of their three networks with the credits as well.
I personally like the credits system. For many years, as a collector of 6-7 specific European models it made it easy and cheaper to sign in and use my credits to buy a single new Eve Angel/Sophie Moone/Mia Stone scene instead of having to rejoin for a full month.
On my most recent membership, I was able to join 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals for roughly 3500 credits each. Which is the one question I have. I really don't know how many loyalty credits you receive for each action. Still, it's the same as getting a free month membership or being able to pick up a new scene or two of your favorite model without having to rejoin.
There's lots of similarities between 21 Sextury and DDF, I think they're now even owned by the same company. 21 Sextury has Club Sandy, Pix and Video, Sweet Sophie Moone and Footsie Babes, to name four of the 21 sites included with it. In my past history here on PU, there's standalone reviews of those four sites. Meaning I used to pay the premium $29.99 each for those sites. So you can see how this network is considered an excellent value.
A little complaining: There's confusion. When I go to the main page of the network there's updates. Nearly every other one says, "Bonus content". What is it bonus content from? Another site? If you click on the updates you're taken to a download page that allows you to stream the video, download the video, look at the photos, download the photos, but the photo downloads are 1920 high end just like the videos. At that, the photos aren't even highlighted as if they don't exist.
The main page itself also has a whole toolbar of options including scenes, models, websites, 3D Sex Games, Live Sex, Interactive, Try These, Settings and Favorites. Throw in three separate networks, bonus content, credits and you can see how this network is most likely the most complicated on the internet.
The good news is if you're like me and use the keep it simple stupid method, you'll be fine. Though I have to admit, I'm curious about why there's a 3D Sex Games, Interactive, Livesex difference. Seems like two of those should be the same.
Those who like anal will love this network. Especially when it comes to the sites that are still active and updating. The still updating sites: Asshole Fever, Anal Teen Angels, Butt Plays, Club Sandy, DP Fanatics, Footsie Babes, Gapeland and Pix and Video. I think they used every word possible to describe anal sex in those site titles.
The sad part for me? Some of my favorite sites on the network have stopped updating. I can't count Sweet Sophie Moone since as far as I know she has retired, but also Lets Play Lez, Lez Cuties, Nude Fight Club and Cuties Galore have all stopped updating. It seems to show the shift from the softer, more solo/lesbian content they were known for to a harder, more 2016ish anal, hardcore, rough trend. Not that I don't watch the harder, anal, rougher scenes, but who isn't doing the harder, anal, rougher scenes these days? That change in style led me to lowering the score to a 90.
I can't really fault the content that is here and the quality is as good as you'll find on a network. They have 1080p options as far back as 2008 and continue to have 1080p options on all videos. It's just instead of the cute innocent 19 year old model stripping, blushing a little, then losing herself in a 15 minute masturbation scene, she's got two men all over her with four balls fighting for supremacy of her nether regions.
They do a lot of things right at 21 Sextury, best customer service I've ever dealt with, though new ownership might change that, very high quality content, zipped photos, a backlog of content that is worth owning if you don't already and realistically, if you've not been a member before, you could join for a year and still not see everything.
I wouldn't ever steer anyone away from 21 Sextury, simply because it's everything I've said above, but for those who have been long time members it does look like things are starting to change and at least for me, that change in style of scenes, isn't a favorable one. Oh well, I can always go look at their 100+ scenes of Eve Angel.

Pros:
- Very high production value content. The closer to hardcore sister site of Met-Art.
- All videos (566 as of 1/18/2016)have up to 1080p option. Downloadable in four different qualities. See Bottom Line.
- All photo sets (824 as of 1/18/2016)are downloadable in three different resolutions and are zipped.
- Daily update(s). One day is a photo set. The next is a video and the video update comes with accompanying photo set.
- Download speeds are consistently very good (90%+ of max download speed).
- Good blend of genres: Solo, lesbian, straight and threesomes.
- Models are generally very pretty and natural.
- Easy to add other sites owned by Met-Art and the discounts are good.
Cons:
- Maybe half the scenes feel formulaic. This could be a personal thing, but I've always had trouble grasping the concept of the heartcore genre.
- Could use a better search engine. Though I'm admittedly nitpicking.
- For some reason, the site likes to forget my login information and make me re-enter it, but it only happens every few days.
Bottom Line:
Back when Sex-Art first opened (2012), I reviewed it and said something about the almost limitless potential it has. They are now reaching very high. This is the concept of the site. It's an artsy site that loses a little control and becomes heartcore.
Everything about the content reminds me of Met-Art except that losing control part. The one expected problem is there and I've thought this problem appears on all heartcore sites ... if you're bringing love and mushiness into porn, it needs to be believable. Not to knock porn stars, but they aren't the best actors. Luckily, a lot of the couples, even threesomes, do have good chemistry and pull off some believable scenes.
One of my biggest complaints about Sex-Art a few years ago was their "series" movies. It just seemed like they were trying way too hard to create scenes that when put together created a series or full movie. Those are now tucked away on the site in a section to themselves and haven't been updated since 2012. They're still creating the series style of videos, but they're no longer trying to create a cohesive movie out of them. They just follow the same premise as the other scenes in the series.
Artsy scenes still make their way into the updates, but they're not near as silly or staged.
I'll admit, I have problems with the heartcore genre, but I think Sex-Art does it better than any of the others I've tried. I especially like the threesome scenes where one woman is playing the role of the friend who is watching then gets involved.
There are solo scenes that I also like. The recent Vox series of solo scenes reminds me a lot of sites like I Feel Myself where the camera focuses on the face of the model, but Sex-Art then also shows the rest of the model as well.
So, in terms of their actual content, I think they've improved a great deal over the last few years.
On the technical side of things, there really can't be much better than what Sex-Art offers.
Photo sets are available in zips at:
Low - 1024 high end, Medium - 2048 high end and High - 5600+ high end.
Videos are available in:
280p, 360p, 720p and 1080p. It's worth noting, there are scenes that have the 4K option as well, but there's no way for me to filter those down to get an exact number.
The search engine is my only real con and it's minor. You can just open all new updates in order or search by model name or go to a model list. This is where it gets a little frustrating. In the advanced search, you can search for number of performers, but there's no way to narrow those results down any further.
For example: Number of performers 2+, will open up all scenes with 2+ performers, but you can't then say, "Only lesbian" or "threesomes". Trust me, it's nitpicking and I know that, but it could hinder your search a little.
One of the things I like about Sex-Art is that nearly every scene starts with the performers dressed. This was long a complaint of mine about Met-Art and sets that start nude.
It's very hard to find anything other than nitpicking faults with Sex-Art. I've been a member for 6 straight months now and after a few months break, I'll probably go back for the year membership.
Also worth mentioning they do go into more genres despite being a heartcore site. There's light bondage in the girl/girl/group scenes and there isn't as much mushiness as most heartcore sites have. If you insist on another personal complaint, there's hardly a curvy woman to be found. This is very similar to Met-Art and should be the only thing stopping potential members from trying it.

Pros:
- A newer network from the same people who brought us 21 Sextury.
- I could be wrong, but from looking at the models on this network, I don't see a single set of implants or any tattoos (this is only a pro for some, as neither of those bother me).
- Good amount of content, close to 400 scenes, includes picture set and video with each scene.
- Every scene on the site has 1080p video option, 540p, 480p and the small mobile resolution.
- Pictures get into resolutions that remind me of the top-tier photo sites, many are 6000 high end and all sets come zipped.
- Download speeds are very good, over 90% of my max download speed.
- Despite being a "softer" network, it does have a whole section (around 30 scenes) of anal sex and includes over 80 scenes of foot sex, a genre that 21 Sextury with their Footsie Babes site, along with DDF and Viv Thomas mastered long ago. Nice to see it making a comeback.
Cons:
- It's hard to complain about navigation, but I'm going to. Should be easy to navigate with less than 500 scenes, but the search functions don't seem to recognize this network. What I mean, if I click a model's name on 21 Naturals network, it shows me all of the model's scenes on 21 Sextury, 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals, instead of just 21 Naturals.
- I'm putting this in cons though I know it's a positive for a lot of members. This network is similar to X-Art, Sex Art, believe the words I've heard used are glamcore and heartcore. It's not that I have a problem with it, but I usually prefer a little bit harder than what they offer.
- Falls into the same pitfalls other heartcore sites fall into. Put an experienced veteran male actor with an 18 year old innocent, inexperienced model who has never had anal sex. Now make it sensual and erotic. It ends up looking painful.
Bottom Line:
The heartcore genre has been going strong for several years, but I never really saw it as innovative or new even. This network itself includes a "foot/leg sex" site. I believe heartcore is just an extension of "foot/leg sex". The only difference being heartcore doesn't usually include any leg/foot focus. Funny thing is, I'm not a foot fetishist at all, but Viv Thomas especially, excelled at producing what he called "leg sex". Besides having some focus on foot/leg it was typically more believable, emotional, passionate sex.
My point there is they really don't need a foot/leg sex site in this network since the majority of the scenes fall into the foot/leg sex genre.
One big plus for this network compared to other heartcore sites is there's some spontaneity in the scenes. Whether it's produced/staged/written in or not, it's believable enough to make those scenes stand out. This could be something as simple as both the guy and girl being naked, you're waiting for the typical formulaic pattern to start only to see a 5-7 minute handjob from the woman instead.
The quality of everything is worth a mention. Having nearly 400 total scenes at 1080p, being exclusive content is pretty impressive. As are the near 6000 long end pictures. Maybe it's just me on this one, but the pictures I've looked at have a cooler feeling to them than the normal 21 Sextury style of very warm photography. It's not better or worse, but it surprised me nonetheless.
The site updates 3 times per week. Each update includes one video and a full picture set. That is probably a fine line of whether they should try to add more content to beef up their numbers or just stick with the slower, high-quality method.
As of 1/1/2016, there are 31 scenes grouped into "erotic anal", 85 scenes grouped into "foot art" and another 277 scenes not separated into any particular genre.
I should throw in here that there's no lesbian content whatsoever on this network. There's a minimal amount of solo. I also haven't seen anything with more than 2 people in a scene. It's very straightforward.
I know we've had many disagreements over tattoos and implants here at PU, so those who dislike either or both of those should definitely check this network out. Unless I'm not paying attention or someone is good with video editing, I can't remember seeing any tattoos or implants on this network. The models vary from cute to pretty. Not a lot of variety in the models, most are slim, light complexion and for the believable factor, a lot of the sex seems genuinely painful to them. I use to say 21 Sextury has a factory somewhere where they churn out these pretty, slender models and this network won't make me change my mind on that.
I could definitely recommend it to those who like heartcore and those who like natural models. Those who like straightforward boy/girl sex. Those who have to have everything in HD and big pictures, but would warn that this genre can be very redundant. With a few more navigation options within the network, and maybe some more updates, this network could easily jump into the 90s.

Pros:
- A large network that is a spin-off of the more mainstream 21 Sextury network. The tagline says it all, "The darker side of 21 Sextury".
- Has some rare classic material of mostly retired top-tier Euro models.
- If you like variety, this network is for you. One of those trendier terms of the last few years applies as well, pan-sexuality.
- Videos over the last 6 years are 720p or higher. Pictures come in zips and nearly all scenes/sets have a video set and picture set. The photography style sticks to the 21 Sextury formula, very vivid colors, warm backgrounds. The 1080p video option came along in late 2010.
- Billing with Epoch, also includes lifetime account and credits, which I'll try to explain in Bottom Line.
- Download speeds are as good as I've gotten. I'm downloading 4 scenes as I type this review at 2.2 MB/s. About the most I'll ever see on a download is 9 MB/s.
Cons:
- I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this network isn't for everyone.
- I'm also going to guarantee the different networks within a network is confusing for some. I used my tried and true method of trial and error to test everything out and will further it in the Bottom Line.
- Despite the site having a really pretty layout, there's parts I miss from the old site, like clearly labeled updated dates. As it is, you have to click on the scenes themselves to see when they were added. That's a minor one that goes into my obsessive-compulsive personality.
Bottom Line:
This is one of those networks that makes you wonder if you realized what you had joined when you join it. I'm all for different strokes for different folks, but this one really pushes the boundaries.
Many years ago, I reviewed 21 Sextury's Zoliboy site and gave it a high score. At that time, Zoliboy was an assistant at the 21 Sextury studio and mostly had these sets with top-tier Euro models during the Euro boom period of the mid to late 2000 decade. Models like Eve Angel, Anetta Keys, stood out, even above their already high standards. They had genuine fun with Zoli. Not sex. Just mostly the nice, funny, charismatic Zoli joking with them, trying to get them to flash, trying to get them naked, begging and groveling to touch them. I called Zoliboy one of the best sites of its time. It was different and unique. Then one day, I rejoined and the site had changed completely. Gone were the top-tier models, replaced with older models, below-average looking models, out of shape models. I made a somewhat rude, but good-nature joke about the models "dropping off" and Zoli responded by putting a model on his main page with a brown paper bag over her head.
Zoli is here on this network and things are still dropping off in terms of model quality. Zoli is a big part of the site Teach Me Fisting, which isn't about boxing or punching.
Here's the problem, only four of those sites are still updating. Here's the second problem, if you are offended by anything like puking, spitting, the more disgusting side of porn, you're going to have a problem with some of these sites. Even Zoli has been guilty of the scenes with models puking in them.
I normally wouldn't mention something like that, but I really can't stand those scenes.
Onto this credits system since I originally joined 21 Sextury, not 21 Sextreme. The system recognized my email account as a past member and pulled up my history. My credits were showing as 59,840. My understanding always was that you received X amount for time as a member, bonuses for signing in even without a subscription, the basic loyalty bonuses. That sounded like a lot of credits, so I opened up my profile, only to see my credits drop to 15,925. It was there that I could get a 30 day membership to 21 Sextreme and/or 21 Naturals for roughly 3,500 credits each. So, by the looks of it, by joining 21 Sextury, I could use my credits to also join both 21 Sextreme and 21 Naturals. That's an intriguing deal, but also makes me wonder why split them up?
The other use for the credits is for when your membership runs out. You can still sign in with your account and say your favorite model gets a new scene a day after your subscription runs out, you can use some of your credits to buy that one scene instead of signing up for another month. I will say I've always supported that part.
Overall, 21 Sextreme isn't for me. There's some scenes that were okay. There's still plenty of pretty models around, but it's just not what I expect from 21 Sextury. Now sure, I'll be the first one to complain about sites becoming stale and formulaic, but that doesn't mean you have to jump to the polar opposite side either.
For what it's worth, those old scenes on Zoli, that have the mostly-retired top-tier Euro models are still on Zoli's site on this network. If you're a collector, those scenes are worth a join by themselves.
I'm not used to scoring sites below an 80, but I still would recommend it for those who like the rougher edge of models, their porn and their sexual boundaries. I personally didn't find anything except the puking offensive, and knowing our society, there's probably people who even like that part.
The score would have been lower, based solely on my interest and enjoyment of the content, but staying unbiased makes it hard to go any lower since they do have HD content for 6-7 years now and the site works flawlessly. I'll even throw in one of my old scales to adjust my score accordingly to your taste.
If you like tranny, bi, gay, very kinky, sometimes gross, rough, bondage sex and prefer normal to below average looking women, then add 12 points to my score. If you think those all sound awful then take 12 points off my score.
As for me, I doubt I'll be back to this network again.
Current Member for over 3 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
- A large site that has returned more to its amateur roots.
- In my opinion, the best site for those who like public flashing, touching, as these once favorites have now returned in nearly every new update.
- Models are starting to become more varied in appearance. There's been several busty-type models added recently (Darcie is a favorite). Also seeing more dark haired models, there was a time when it seemed like 90% of new models on here were blonde.
- Video and photo quality are both excellent, zips for downloading photo sets.
- Lots of sporty girls, flexible, working out, dancing.
- Site navigation has improved greatly.
Cons:
- The days of the more extreme FTV seem to be over. You rarely see the giant dildos or the FTV Toy, but it's not a con for me, could be for others.
- Webmaster or whoever programs the site goes a little overboard with the use of tags, really, it's not public nudity just because the model gets nude in a private backyard in Arizona.
- And the big one, the videos are still split into parts. I don't know how many times I've reviewed FTV or commented about it, but despite all the reasoning I've heard, "The different clips show the progression of the scene" was one, and another was, "Some people don't like masturbation, others don't like teasing, the clips allow users to pick just the ones they like". So does the fast-forward and rewind button.
Bottom Line:
FTV has always been an up and down site for me. Many times as a member, the up and down status happened from day to day. I admit, one of my favorite niches in porn is public nudity/flashing and even better if the model slips a little masturbation in too.
I like the combination of danger/excitement/arousal you see from the models in the public nudity scenes. And one really big plus for FTV is the models, at least to me, are becoming more and more amateur. I'm sure it's no different than it used to be where someone like Eva Angelina appeared here early in her career then went on to be one of the most prolific porn actresses of all-time.
FTV to me is the best public nudity site available that is still updating. So if public, exhibitionism is your thing, you should try it out just for those scenes.
The site's navigation has improved thanks to a new design in the member's area. New might not be the right word, but it was new to me when I joined 3 months ago. I had been away from this site since roughly 2010. It could still be improved by better tagging. All scenes now have tags across the top of their description. These are nicely done bold and bright tags that make it easy to see if a scene has something in it you might like. Some examples:
Nu! = Public Nudity, O = Real Orgasm, Ex = Extreme Scene and so on. These are very useful except for one thing. Since adding this tagging system they've went back and tagged every scene on their entire site. I will give them credit for not just throwing every tag possible on every scene, but there's the occasional misused tag that can be frustrating.
The frustration is made worse by the videos being cut into parts. Instead of just downloading one big file then scanning through it for the part you're most interested in, you have to download 4-10 parts then open each one and look for the part you're interested in.
If that's not enough frustration, the videos here are such high quality that it makes you wonder if they realize stopping to load another video is breaking up the continuity of the scenes? An example: Cayton Cayley (Candice) has a scene where she's flashing in a car repair garage. There's men all around and she's getting more aroused by each one that look at her. Then ... the video stops. Load the next one, watch the FTV logo for 2-5 seconds, video starts and she's walking to a room in the back where men are going to watch her masturbate. That's not only senseless, but it's illogical. One of the few believable things I've heard behind the reasoning of breaking the scene up is "Videos are shot in different locations". While I'm sure video editing software could piece those together still, I can at least see how one moment the model is nude in public, the next she's in a bed getting ready to masturbate, could also make the videos less natural-feeling, but the one I used above was in the same building. As are many others.
My guess is it will never change. It's been this way for over 10 years. Outside of that fairly big problem, the site delivers. The change from some extreme scenes to hardly no extreme scenes didn't bother me.
The size of the site can be overwhelming. I don't have near as much time to view/download porn as I used to so I've ended up staying at FTV for 3 straight months trying to rebuild my collection of their content. Updates are once a week and include videos and photos of one model. It's also still a great site for collectors since a lot of well-known porn stars including hardcore, extreme ones, were here on FTV early in their careers, showing some innocence and playfulness, you don't see from them in their newer work.
The interviews are often funny and show the model's personality away from being a model. I would even wonder how many models have helped/hurt themselves with these interviews?
I know there's been reviews and comments about the download speed being poor, but I haven't experienced any problems over the 3 months. My download speed on here is roughly 90% or higher of what it should be. Just tested it again before writing this review.
Overall, this is how I see this site: There's high-quality photos and videos. Decent download options on the videos and zips for the photos. The improved navigation (since 2010) makes the site much easier to use. Even the types of models have improved over the last year or so (subjective). But there's always that one but revolving around the split videos. I can say I took off 6-8 points for the split videos. It creates too much of a frustration situation. I can either download the clips I know I'll like and skip the others, which will make me wonder what I missed or I can just download them all, which is what I end up doing.
Even with the frustration, it's the best at public nudity and at finding very attractive amateur models.

Pros:
- One of the oldest and biggest European (mostly) networks on the internet.
- The network has excellent variance in genres.
- Unlike many networks out there, nearly all of these sites were at one time standalone sites that cost upwards of $30 each to join.
- Now officially has 13 sites in the network. Will list each site with newest update in bottom line.
- The majority of scenes across the network come with a photo and video set.
- Over 2,200 models total.
- Well above-average search features including the ability to search within 1 site or 3 sites or how many ever you want.
- Zip files for photo downloads. Seems like forever since I last typed zip files for photos, but it's still a very important part.
- Some of Europe's most popular models have over 100 videos and photo sets here.
- Network as a whole covers solo, lesbian, hardcore, legs and feet fetish, kink/taboo casting clothed/nude and blowjobs/cumshots.
- Archive dates back to 2001.
Cons:
- The older archived content is of lower quality, but I think most would expect that, especially when talking about content from the early 2000s.
- Some of the sites are no longer updating. Will detail that in Bottom Line.
- Network as a whole updates 2-3 times per day. I want to point out here that I don't believe this is a negative, but it is less than DDF used to update and should be mentioned. I'll also give a little more detail into this in the bottom line.
- Minor one here, payment processor was Vendo, who I have limited experience with, but it looks like they have a clear and easy to use cancel system.
Bottom Line:
I'll start by saying I might be in over my head on this review. The improvements at DDF with search function, finding video quality eras (yes, they have those) and quantity of scenes has been made much easier for us to find and use.
These are the sites that come up in a drop-down menu. I will include their total number of scenes, when the site's last update was and what the update schedule is if still updating, all updates include picture and video set:
1byDay - 4798 scenes, last update was Dec 21, 4 updates per week.
Hot Legs and Feet - 2453 scenes, Dec 19, 3 updates per week. DDF Busty - 1507 scenes, Dec 21, 4 updates per week. Only Blowjob - 1510 scenes, Dec 20, 2 updates per week.
Hands on Hardcore - 1000 scenes, Dec 20, 4 updates per week.
House of Taboo - 953 scenes, Dec 17, 1 update per week.
Euro Girls on Girls - 507 scenes, Dec 20, 2 updates per week. Barely LegalEuro Teen Erotica - 456 scenes, Dec 13, 1 update per week. Eve Angel Official - 336 scenes, no longer updating. Cherry Jul - 108 scenes, no longer updating.
Sandy's Fantasies - 47 scenes, no longer updating. Hairy Twatter - 174 scenes, no longer updating. Sex Video Casting - 846 scenes, no longer updating.
Phew. It's important to note that I was able to find these sites, all content, simply by using the DDF Network hub with a drop-down box for the sites. You can search 1byday, Hands On Hardcore and Hot Legs and Feet, it will just include scenes from those sites. Very good user functions which I mainly stress because DDF's network went through some rough transitions when converting from standalone sites to a network. Those problems are fixed and the network works excellent.
There's also a video era bar across the upper part of the site. It lets you select from DV which are the older videos, HDV which are the in-between 540p to 720p to the Full HD ones. The 720p option starts in 2009, the 1080p starts in 2011.
The thing that has always impressed me about this network is that I used to pay $30 a month for several of these sites and would be excited to get two of them for $45 a month on promos. There's not as many updates as there used to be, but still as a whole, the network has roughly 20 updates per week and all include picture sets and 1080p videos.
I'll also mention that Hairy Twatter and Sex Video Casting just stopped updating a few months ago, so there's lots of HD content on those. The only sites that might not be up to today's standards are the Cherry Jul and Sandy Fantasies sites, but if you're a collector of Euro models, Cherry had a very successful but short run and this content would be great for those who like her. Sandy's Fantasies is of course Sandy from Club Sandy, in her early sets, before becoming Sandy from Club Sandy. Pretty rare content for those who like her.
Then there's my all-time favorite model, Eve Angel, who has a 300+ scene solo site included in this network. Those are mostly 720p or higher so there's no major step-back in quality of those like the other two.
Over on 1byday, the models are back to being some of the most attractive I've seen and they are usually reviving one of my favorite genres, the solo scene complete with eye contact with the camera. It's good to see this style of porn still being made after being overran with hardcore, spitting, slapping, demeaning scenes. Not that those don't exist on this network, both Hands on Hardcore and House of Taboo has plenty of the harder scenes, but there's a certain beauty in seeing a model strip, then masturbate for you the viewer.
I really like the site Barely LegalEuro Teen Erotica which is completely new to me. And if you like amateur or before they were stars, the Sex Video Casting site is full of pretty amateurs, some of which I've never seen on any other sites or in any other scenes. Hands on Hardcore has an interesting twist to it that includes what they call DDF's Guest House, it's once a week and it's a hardcore scene from other sites, including some I've never heard of so you get a chance to sample other sites as well. Aria Giovanni fans should know there's 32 scenes of the ultra-softcore American model on this network. She's softcore in the scenes here, but is a little more risky than she did on her own site.
I really can't say enough good things about this network. It definitely feels like an absence makes the heart grow fonder moment since 3 years have passed since my last membership. The score might seem a little high, but I've gave 1byday, Hot Legs and Feet and Eve Angel Official all 90+ reviews in the past. To get those plus 10 other sites that cover the majority of genres, for under $25 is as good of a value as I'll find. Maybe a little sentimental for me with all these solo scenes of dressed, strip, masturbate, but there's enough hardcore b/g, g/g to make everyone happy.
Change is rarely successful in the porn world, but I see nothing but positive changes here at DDF. Can't do much better than they are doing.

Pros:
- One of the largest DVD sites on the internet.
- Lots of HD scenes as long as you consider 720p to be HD.
- A few standout studios (Eromaxx, Elegant Angel with standard membership come to mind), you won't find on other DVD sites.
- Though the search engine isn't the best, between it and the tags, categories, it is the easiest of the DVD sites to use and find what you're looking for.
- Good PU member price at $17.99 with no additional charges or add-on channels to buy.
- Lowest quality videos I've found are 540p, nearly 4,000 DVDs, 20,000+ scenes are 720p or 1080p.
- More varied niches that update regularly.
- Download speeds are above average and consistent.
Cons:
- There's not a lot wrong with Videosz, as with any site of this size it can get frustrating trying to find specific niches, but it's still not that bad.
- Older videos highest resolution option is 540p, I'm reaching here since it's expected to see older videos be lower quality.
- Could use a little more "classic" scenes, though my definition of classic is only late 90s, early 2000s.
Bottom Line:
Back several years ago, I posted reviews for both Videobox and Videosz and said I was starting to like Videosz better. Now, it's not even a question. There's niches here that I don't have much interest in, but they should be there. With these DVD sites they should offer as vast of a selection as possible to mimic old video stores.
One of my favorite parts of Videosz are the different studios. Eromaxx currently has 372 DVDs on Videosz, a total of 2,987 scenes. Eromaxx is an excellent studio/standalone fetish network. Being able to get a lot of their content included with your membership to Videosz is a major plus. I've never seen a single scene of theirs on other DVD sites. Elegant Angel, a standalone site and Videobox premium channel that costs $15 to add on VB, is included in your subscription on Videosz. The amount of scenes is pretty similar, VB has 1,644 Elegant Angel scenes, while Videosz has 1,551.
They also have other smaller studios I haven't seen on other DVD sites. The search engine is usable, but I'm not going to say it's 100% accurate. The site as a whole has a nice, clean design with drop-down menus that allows you to separate scenes/DVDs by studio, actress, category/niche. You also won't find perfect tagging or niche-listing, but again, it's not bad.
It's hard to get around making comparisons as to why Videosz has surpassed Videobox, for example, Videobox added tranny/shemale DVDs awhile back, but some members complained so they stopped adding those. Members complained about handjob videos so those slowed. Videosz keeps a more balanced update of genres. I never really understood why a DVD site would limit itself to certain genres based just on the vocal members complaints.
The standout here is Eromaxx's inclusion. They are a pure fetish network that adds a lot of variety to the usual bland world of DVD sites. They are most known for their "public" orgy sites, Party Hardcore, Drunk Sex Orgy, and those are here, but there's also scenes from Fully Clothed Sex, My Fetish and nearly all of the sites included in a Tainster membership.
The overall technical quality is good. They've cut back on daily updates, going from 5 to 3 DVDs, which is normally a bad thing, but of the new updates, roughly 2 out of every 3 are HD quality. It looks like they're trying to add a little more quality over quantity, which I think is a good thing on a DVD site. Based on their numbers they have 3,145 HD DVDs as of 12/14/2015 and those DVDs equal 16,039 HD scenes.
The download speeds reach 90% of my download max speed and it rarely drops. Free Download Manager works, but for whatever reason if you load up a bunch of links, it gives a generic name listing in the download manager's list. Instead of saying "Big Wet Ass scene 1" it will say "video 12" then the next 10 listed will also say "video 12". This can be frustrating if you're downloading a lot of scenes at once since you can't see what you've already put in the list. Once you start the download manager the names change from the generic name to the real name.
I gave up downloading thousands of scenes per month, so I really can't say much about the download limits. I download 25-50 scenes a day, mostly because I've become more selective of what I download.
It's worth mentioning that I noticed a bonus section on their site. It says it's a reward system for loyal customers. It says after 3 successive months as a member you will start receiving bonus access to premium videos from Vivid, Hustler and Club Jenna. Not really for sure how I feel about that since one of their biggest strengths, in my opinion, was keeping their site out of the add-on premium channel mess. I won't change my score for it since it doesn't cost anything to receive those add-ons, but will mention, there are zero Vivid DVDs included with their regular subscription.
Overall, I would say Videosz is the best DVD site on the internet.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- The biggest porn DVD site on the internet and one of the cheapest when joining through Porn Users at $12/month.
- Five full DVD updates per day.
- Their definition of HD includes anything 720p or higher resolution. Based on it, roughly 25% of their DVDs are HD quality.
- What tags they have are actually pretty good
- Premium channels are the big draw for me. Will detail them below in bottom line.
- If you like late 90s, early 2000s porn, a Videobox membership combined with the Vivid channel is probably the best buy in porn.
- Download speeds can vary, but are usually consistent. The variances happen at certain times each day and sometimes it's actually faster, other times way slower.
- My download manager works well (free download manager), but I limit how many files it downloads to 20 at a time so not to risk download links timing-out.
- A generally easy to use site, easy to cancel, unless you do something I do, then canceling can be frustrating. Explanation in bottom line.
Cons:
- Back years ago, I was convinced that VB was steadily trying to improve their site. Not so anymore. I think they have settled into a mass porn site and have no intentions of making themselves any worse or any better.
- Video quality is inconsistent. They'll have a "HD" scene that is 720p with a 1,500 bitrate. While also calling a 720p scene with an 8,000 bitrate "HD". I could just call this being sloppy and careless since it's what it is.
- Pricing is good unless you want the premium channels and join them early in your Videobox membership. See bottom line.
- Loads of newly added DVDs that are full of scenes already on the site under different names. Gives the impression of recycling content, but I think they're just ... sloppy and careless. I have one Eva Angelina scene, four different times and none are the same length. I don't even know who to blame for those, the producers milking a scene or Videobox bloating their numbers.
Bottom Line:
This was at one time one of my favorite sites. I still think it's an excellent site for new members and for those who like that late 90s, early 2000s era porn. Their newer DVDs are good, but the majority fall into the cookie-cutter porn genre, seen one you've seen them all type of porn. That's where the premium channels come in. These are the premium channels with their prices if you add them on the first day of your Videobox subscription: Evil Angel $15 - You can get a full subscription to Evil Angel for the same price using the PU discount, it's a much better deal. Reality Kings $15 - Roughly the same price as you can get from PU, and it's a better deal than the add-on channel.
Kink $35 - Pretty unique channel, it's sort of a best of or compilation of Kink's various sites, it's a great addition, but I hold off until the prorated price brings the cost below $10.
Soft On Demand $35 - Typical Japanese site with mostly censored/blurred pubic areas. It's okay, join it for the last week of your VB subscription if you're interested in Japanese porn. Elegant Angel $15 - It's a good deal if you like Elegant Angel, but I've never joined it.
Club Tranny $15 - Maybe a good buy for those interested in this genre. Vivid $15 - Great add-on, to my knowledge it's the biggest collection of downloadable Vivid DVDs on the internet. Vivid's site didn't have downloads when I was last a member on it (about 9 months ago), so this is a really good deal if you like Vivid.
I admit, I'm a cheapskate when it comes to Videobox. I wait until half of my Videobox subscription is over then join Vivid. This gives you a prorated price of $7.50. I then join Kink when there's less than a week left on my Videobox subscription which gets the price below $10. This is the problem with this method:
If you cancel your main Videobox subscription then decide to add say Vivid or Kink or both or any of the other add-on channels, it reopens your Videobox subscription. Or better said, it cancels out your cancellation of Videobox. It goes like this: Videobox canceled on 11/22/2015, membership lasts until 12/3/2015. Vivid channel added on 11/29/2015 Videobox renews on 12/3/2015.
I would be complaining more about that, but I don't think it's an attempt to rip-off customers as much as it is ... sloppy and careless. You just have to go back and cancel Videobox each time you add a new channel if added after your initial cancellation.
Overall, Videobox has little to offer me anymore except being the gateway to those premium channels. For a new member, I think it's a great place to start your porn collection. The quality can vary greatly even if it says a scene is HD, you really don't know what the quality is until you download it. You can kind of guess by looking at file size, but they don't list bitrates on any of their scenes.
The search engine has become all but useless. Even going directly to your favorite stars pages can be misleading. I've thought I'd downloaded every scene for a model only to see 2-3 scenes listed in the recommended scenes that aren't listed with the model. The premium channels cause a problem here too since the search results will give you results all across Videobox and all their premium channels. This is one that has bothered me for years. If you search "Taylor Hayes", a late 90s, early 2000s superstar model, she will be listed in dozens of scenes, but most are on the Vivid channel.
They do offer a package of 5 premium channels for an extra $50 a month, which is certainly cheaper than their current rates on those channels, but it's still pretty costly.
Downloading from the site is no longer as easy as it used to be. I use free download manager. With it, I can click and drag a link into it. Each time I do it on Videobox it says, "Select preference". I hate to be an ass, but didn't I select my preference when I clicked the format I wanted to drag to my download manager?
While Videobox is still one of the better values in porn, it's also becoming one of the more frustrating and annoying sites in porn as well. There's also the problem with videos playing while you're trying to load your download manager and you rarely have taken the time to mute those videos so expect everyone in your house to wonder who's having sex.
You could do far worse than Videobox, but it's time for Videobox to give up its crown as the best porn DVD site. I also have a membership to Videosz and will review it soon. Videobox might be depending too much on their premium channels to deliver non-mainstream porn.
I joined for one main reason. I couldn't find my Videobox external hard drive following a move. I downloaded my favorite scenes, most of which were on Vivid and added a 100 GB or so of Kink content. My current Videobox folder is smaller than those and it's why I rated it 80. If you're new to VB then add 10 points to the score. Recommended for new members and those who have lost their favorite scenes.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- It has to be one of the biggest networks on the internet. If you've never been a member you could probably join it for a year and still be happy with it in month 12.
- You get 13 sites and will list them each in the BL with a quick explanation of each and opinion.
- I try to always buy memberships through TBP and the TBP discount is very good, but DDF's promo emails, for past members, are much cheaper. On the other hand these promos only last 24-48 hours.
- Very professional site with high standards on their technical quality.
- Download speeds are about 90% my max download speed.
- The network as a whole does give you a feeling of "something for everyone".
- Videos over the last 4 years or so are HD, picture sets come zipped.
- You will be hard-pressed to name an Euro model who isn't on the network and many have double digit numbers of sets.
- Navigation is good for a network of this size and there doesn't seem to be as much overlap between sites though there still is some.
Cons:
- A little thing called time. That mainly applies only to new or newer members. I have kept a DDF folder since 2007 that has all the older content I would want so I mainly am just downloading the newer updates. If you're new to it, go ahead and get you a new external hard drive and name it DDF. I would think it's a bit overwhelming to some.
- DDF sites have typically had a common problem of the occasional download button not working, downloading a file marked as 1280x720 resolution only to find out it's a mobile file, but fast and courteous customer service always fixes it.
- The major deduction for me is that I'm not for sure the network offers that much for frequent past members. While the newer content isn't bad, it has either entered the feeling of, "I've seen this before, just the girl is different" or "Another 18 year old Hungarian model". That's not as negative as it sounds, but it's just a feeling of complacency.
Bottom Line:
It seems my years of scoring high are starting to catch up with me or I'm just not as impressed as I used to be. If you are new or newer to DDF then you can feel free to add 5-7 points to the score and I would say easily. I'm going to focus on the different sites since DDF Network isn't so much a site as it is sort of a home page or hub to go from site to site.
1ByDay - The flagship site. Myself and many Porn Users spent upwards of $35 per month for this site by itself years ago. It still updates 7 times a week and has nearly a combined 10,000 photo/video sets. I think it's important to mention these photo sets are not screenshots from the videos, they are standalone, professional photo sets. You really could get your money worth just with this site alone.
Hot Legs and Feet - The almost flagship site. I used to be turned away from this site because I thought it was a standard feet/toes type site, but it's really not. It's more like a solo/lesbian/hardcore site that has a feet/leg theme to the scenes. Updates have dropped to 3 per week. Close to 5,000 combined photo/video sets.
DDF Busty - The name says it all. This site has a couple of problems for me. It's not unusual to see overlap from other DDF sites showing up on it. It also updates 3 times per week. Around 3,000 combined photo/video sets.
Only Blowjob - Another self-explanatory one. It updates 3 times per week. And has around 3,000 combined photo/video sets.
House of Taboo - The kinkier side of DDF, though I wouldn't say it's near as kinky as most BDSM/Bondage/Sub/Dom sites I've been on. It updates 3 times per week and has around 1,800 combined video and photo sets.
Hands on Hardcore - Though all the sites before this one have some hardcore on them, this one is just all hardcore. Its updates don't seem to be quite 3 per week, but are close, there are 9 updates for the month of March as of March 31, 2013. It has right at 1,600 combined photo and video sets.
Euro Girls on Girls - Updates once a week, all lesbian, only lesbian content. It has nearly 1,000 combined photo and video sets.
Euro Teen Erotica - Updates once a week, this site could really appeal to some. Seems like it started out as mostly solo and the occasional lesbian scene, but I think they changed the focus and it's now more boy/girl hardcore with teens. It has nearly 700 combined photo and video sets.
Sex Video Casting - A site that could be considered the closest to amateur that DDF goes. Some of these sets don't have anything more than a new model stripping, no masturbation, no sex. Most at least go into something near masturbation. It has a combined 1,200 photo and video sets.
Hairy Twatter - Updates weekly, a site about hairy girls. Not my thing, but it has close to 200 combined video and photo sets.
Cherry Jul - Archive site. It hasn't been updated since 2007, but if you like Cherry, it has a combined 216 photo and video sets.
Eve Angel Official - Archive site. It says it's updating, but I have all these sets. If I'm wrong on this, I will change what I've said, but seeing that I've collected Eve exclusively since 2004, I'm pretty sure these new updates aren't new. Still, there is around 400 combined photo and video sets and if you like Eve, but haven't downloaded this content it's really good and would be worth the price of membership by itself.
Sandy's Fantasies - Archive site. This site hasn't been active for several years, but has some real nice older content of major Euro stars before they became big stars. Right at 300 combined photo and video sets.
I tried approaching this review differently to give a rundown of each site included. I still think this network is a great value considering the photos after 2008 are all available in at least 2000 high end and the videos in HD, Prior to 2009, you're going to get varying qualities and just based on the sheer amount of content there's no way I could break it down into how many have HD, how many have standard DVD resolution, etc.
I would recommend as high as possible for new porn fans, Eve Angel fans who don't have the content from her site, Cherry Jul fans if they still exist, legs/feet fans, soft dom fans, blowjob fans and solo fans. The only sites that I consider disappointing are Euro Girls on Girls and Euro Teen Erotica, but that's just a preference since those are mostly your typical 18 year old skinny models.
As a whole the network offers as much content as you could possibly ask for, however, as someone who has been a member of nearly all the sites when they were standalone sites and also a member of this network 4 times, I don't know that it offers me a whole lot of value. Then again, that's what happens when you have a 1.7 TB folder of DDF content.
I still think an 87 is fair with a +5 for those who don't have a 1.7 TB of DDF content already.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Fairly large network of 6 solo model sites and 1 multi-model site.
- High quality on nearly all sites.
- Network is an even better value if you like the models that have a high amount of content. I will list amounts of content for each site in the BL.
- Seems to be quite a bit of interaction with the models.
- Download speeds will vary from site to site, but never drops to a bad level.
- Navigation is excellent for a network, it includes and easy to use drop-down box that allows you to move from site to site without the hassle of signing in on each.
- I personally find all of the models attractive.
- No cross-sales on registration and ads are non-existent in members area as well. It's one of those sites that should get some bonus points for clean site design without annoyances.
- There is some, though not a lot, more hardcore scenes on the sites. So it's not all just softcore or just masturbation.
Cons:
- The webmaster explained in replies of my Bryci review. There are no photo zips. If nothing else, I feel like it should be mentioned since photo collectors will see that as a dealbreaker.
- Download limit has been raised to 12 GB per day and I really don't see it as that bad unless you download the 1920x1080 files. I've somehow found moderation in my downloading over the years and am having no trouble with the download limit.
Bottom Line:
I did a separate review for the Bryci site which is included in this network. I felt like it was quite a bit better than the other sites and deserved it's own standalone review. First thing I'm going to do is list the numbers for each site. I will count these numbers by using a manual method of X amount of scenes per page multiplied by number of pages. I will use this method of describing them (standard video = masturbation/tease. BTS = Behind the Scenes. Webcam = webcam archive)
Ava Dawn - 32 standard videos, 15 BTS, 4 Webcam, 42 photo sets.
Bella Girlfriends - 7 standard videos, 61 photo sets Bryci - See my separate review. This is by far the largest site in the network. The numbers are for combined types of videos (329) and photo sets (280) candid photo sets (62) Hunter Leigh - 24 photo sets, 0 videos. Katie Banks - standard videos (112), Webcam (127), photo sets (172), candid photo sets (131)
Lexi Mason - standard videos (16), photo sets (28)
Monroe Lee - standard videos (18), webcam (25), photo sets (111). candid photo sets (5) Talia Shepard - standard videos (49), BTS (19), Webcam (112), Photo sets (118), candid photo sets (38).
If you notice one model missing, Renna Ryan, the content was up the first few days I was a member, now the site is giving me a "content not available" message when I sign in. She also is no longer listed in the BellaGirls, so I guess that was just bad timing since it was there just a few days ago.
I bring this up because Renna was an extra selling point for me since I have always liked her. On the other hand, the site was relatively small and the last 6-8 videos were during her pregnancy. Overall, her site was a disappointment so I don't think you're going to miss it much.
If you will also notice, several of the models have more webcam archived videos than anything else. I do like these, but there's no way, short of watching everyone of them to say what percentage is just talking or teasing or masturbation.
I was not familiar with any of these models except the aforementioned Renna Ryan and Talia Shepard. Talia's site is above average, so if you like her it's worth noting that it's one of the bigger sites on the network. I even found a new one I'll be watching for more content of, Ava Dawn, who I wasn't the least bit familiar with.
I went to the oldest videos on each site and it looks like all standard videos have the full selection of video options. I'll list them again:
MP4 - 1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x360
WMV - 1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x360
Flash - 900x506
3GP - 352x288
As I mentioned in the Bryci review, I prefer the Flash ones for the combination of good quality and the files are not overly large. If anyone has trouble playing Flash videos, I use either VLC or Windows Media Classic Home Cinema.
The content mostly follows the same path from site to site. It's mostly softcore teasing and masturbation. I'm not for sure if the hardcore number is high since several of the hardcore scenes I had seen on here were on the Renna Ryan site.
Picture sets have a viewing option of 1500x933 or vice versa and 4000x26xx or vice versa. These pictures are very good, look to be professional shot so without zips, you're going to need to be ready to right click, save as on the ones you like.
The webcam videos are decent quality, look to be in the 360-480p range and are entertaining.
It's worth noting that several of these models, Bryci, Talia especially, have very good personalities and can pull off these 40ish minute webcam shows without a hitch. I still haven't seen a live webcam show, but it's more based on me never having a chance to sit down and watch one, so these archived ones are a nice addition.
As a whole, the network averages over 1 update per day. In the most recent months, there are these numbers.
January 1-28: 39 updates.
December 2012: 47 updates.
November 2012: 39 updates.
So it's an active network as you can see. I will touch on the no zips one last time since I think the Hunter Leigh site shows the downside of no zips. It has no videos, 24 photo sets and no zip downloads. She's a very pretty/cute model, but without anything to download, I probably won't visit it for more than a few views of pictures with nothing left to show for the membership to it.
I do think this network as a whole is good though. It helps that I really like Bryci and Talia Shepard. Having their videos in a high number like the network has offsets the cons. I don't think Renna's site would have helped or hurt the score any since it did look to be relatively small. If memory serves me right it only had 2 pages of videos, 2 of photos and maybe with her pregnancy she didn't want the content posted anymore.
I'm going a bit high on the score based on liking the Bryci site so much. The network is worth a join if you like solo models and especially if you prefer videos.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Bryci is a sensual, brunette model who excels at posing, teasing and may be the best solo masturbation model I've seen in a few years.
- The site itself is pretty big, but not all scenes are masturbation, quite a few BTS, non-nude talking, will list the numbers in BL.
- Archive has webcam archived videos.
- From what I can see, all videos on the site are available in 1980x1080. Multiple video download options on all videos except webcam archives.
- Download speed is relatively good, but you will occasionally run into a slower moving file. I can max out at 3.8 MB/s, most will download around 3.0 MB/s, but a few were in the 1.6-1.9 MB/s range.
- Pictures are nice, but I had a few problems with them which will be in cons.
- Comes with 7 other similarly themed sites, the size of each greatly varies and I will do a review of the overall network separately to get all the numbers in.
- Price isn't too bad for the quality and especially if you like the models.
Cons:
- Pictures aren't zipped. This could be a major con to picture lovers since they have very high quality pictures 2662x4000.
- Download limit. Normally this would annoy the hell out of me, but I don't download near as much as I used to. It's listed as 9 GB per day, Webmaster says 10 GB, the most I've downloaded in a day is 5 GB, so I've had no problems with it. And since the terms say no scripts are allowed, I'm guessing you can't use a bulk image downloader for the pictures. It isn't being a problem for me though I thought it should be mentioned. One workaround without breaking the rules is to download the smaller quality videos, which I will get to in the BL.
Bottom Line:
Bryci has to be considered a serious contender for top solo model. The one negative some will find is she has implants, but I've never minded those either unless they are badly out of proportion. Hers aren't. The site is full of high quality content as well. I'm going to focus this next part on the numbers and qualities available since there is a download limit.
I'm counting 329 video scenes as of 1/27/13. There are 5 types of video scenes. Standard masturbation, Behind the Scenes, teasing, talking, webcam archive. The BTS and talking ones aren't something I'm going to download since there is a download limit, so those can be taken out of the equation. Her teasing scenes are short in length, 4-6 minutes usually, but if the attire she has on it is your thing, these are worth downloading. She has one scene in a white thin dress, in the shower, that is great as well as a workout tease scene that I loved.
The scenes I downloaded were masturbation, some teasing and the webcam archive. There's roughly 110 masturbation and/or tease scenes, it's hard to put a number on the webcam scenes that involve masturbation or nudity without watching them all, but several I've watched do have masturbation in them. It almost looks like Bryci may have started out as a tease type model. The videos date back to January 2009, so that's 4 years of content and plenty of time for her to have evolved from tease to masturbation. Most of the first year of updates are of the tease and BTS variety.
I know there are people who like the talking videos, but I'm sticking with my standard on those, I don't want to pay for a video of a woman answering questions. It seems to be a whole section of "Ask Bryci" videos. There also is an Amazon button so you can buy presents for Bryci, which I've laughed at dating back to Raven Riley. One more time, I pay to see your porn, not to have an option to pay for your gifts.
The video download options do vary since 1/5, maybe 1/4 are webcam, these are in Flash only, but you can download them.
The other videos have:
MP4 1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360.
WMV 1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360.
Flash 900x506
3GP 352x288
As you can see, the downloading options are very good and I personally download the Flash ones since it limits the size of the file, while giving me still good quality. From what I see in the members area you have all these options on all videos except the webcam archives.
The pictures are overall a disappointment. I've always removed points for no zip files and have removed 5 points from this review for it since I think the pictures add a lot to a solo site. I guess it's okay to download one at a time if you want to make you own set, but I would much prefer a zip option to download the whole set. It seems to go into a hollow debate of why have 4000 high end pictures if the members can't download the whole set. While I'm sure there are some who wouldn't want to download an entire set of photos at that high of quality since it would be a fairly big file. I like the option of having the option to download if I want them though.
Navigation is very easy, site design is nice and clean. There also are webcam shows, but I haven't watched any. Each thing you would need from navigation is in a toolbar towards the top of the screen, the only thing I would add is an option to filter out BTS scenes and separate webcam archive, but those are minor complaints since the title of each video says, "BTS" or "Webcam" so you don't have to guess at them.
Where Bryci earns the high score is in her performances. She's quite confident, seems to love teasing and works the camera as well as dare I say, a young Eve Angel. The eye contact with the camera, the "I know you're watching" expressions, is the best I've seen since 2006 Eve Angel. That alone keeps me interested in her content. She also seems to be pretty natural in her poses unlike a lot of Euro glam models. She shows a fun and playful side as well.
You do get access to Bella Pass Network which includes 6 other solo models and one other site that is a multi-model site. I won't go into those since I want to review the network as a whole, separately, but Bryci does seem to be the star of the network.
Bryci's site itself seems to update with video or photos 10 times a month. There also is a blog if you're interested in that and it is very active from what I saw of it. In January alone, there were 11 new entries in the blog.
One last part on the download limit. Downloading Flash files, I downloaded 12 videos earlier for a total of 2 GB. So considering I don't want the BTS or talking videos, I should be able to get most of the scenes I want without breaking the download limit.
Overall, download limits and no picture zips, notwithstanding, I would highly recommend it to solo fans.

Pros:
- The last of the Kink sites on my list to join, Kink's sites, generally speaking are very high quality and are just different enough from the norm to keep most of us from getting bored.
- It's a site about butts, my favorite part of the female, below the neck and they have some of the best butts in porn on here.
- As usual, Kink will do something in at least one or sometimes 20 scenes, that challenges our morality as viewers. I call it pro since I feel like this is done in a safe, controlled, consensual environment and it works to break our boredom with traditional porn, push our limits, etc..
- You get good download speeds here.
- Navigation is as all other Kink sites. I think it's a bit clunky, but if you join enough Kink sites, you start to get the hang of it or you just speed up your mouse scroll wheel.
- Videos have up to 1280x720 resolution and are nice and clear. If a bit dark thanks to setting.
- One update per week is a borderline pro/con.
Cons:
- As mentioned in pros, Kink will push your boundaries, they do so on this site with enemas, for me.
- Pictures would have been really good for this site since they could showcase the butts/thighs, and they have them, but I'm nearing Kink burnout on downloading 4-6 zips to get one photoset.
- Maybe more than any of the Kink sites, this one seemed to border on formulaic for me. It could be the Kink burnout, it could just be that most scenes seemed like the same thing. Reminds me a lot of the now dead Give Me Pink site and to a lesser extent, In the Crack.
Bottom Line:
I had found myself in a porn rut a few months ago and decided to start trying these Kink sites in succession. I can't recommend a studio higher than Kink when it comes to pushing boundaries...tastefully. I know there are sites that are more hardcore than these, but I don't know if any focus so much on the model as these. Many rely on the male to make the scenes more violent. Kink does seem to let the models work at their own pace.
The quality is here is like any of the new(er) Kink sites. The videos have the 1280x720 option, there is also a 720x480 option, these come in either WMV or MP4 depending on your choosing. I don't want to go too deep into the pictures, but will say this, if you're a picture fan, you most likely won't be happy. Since I've written multiple reviews on Kink sites, I don't want to waste a lot of space on saying the same things I have before. Plain and simple, you can download 20-25 pictures in a zip, 4-6 of these zips per set, just like it was in 1999 or 2000. I downloaded a total of 8 total photo sets, so they're bordering on "why even post them?" I took points off ATK and other sites, over 4 years ago, for doing it. It's unacceptable in almost 2013.
The scenes themselves should be a big selling point to me. I like butts, thighs, and not just curvy, but any that are not toothpick thin or to the point of cottage cheese nightmares. Everything in between those are good.
My first problem was expected. Enemas are just a flat-out no to me. I remember years ago on here, both Denner and I, talking about Give Me Pink having girls shoot milk out of their butt. That was the line this site crossed for me. I still don't like gape videos that much either. There's plenty of gape here. So much in fact, I think a small nation could find their new home. Neither of these are huge complaints, but I am trying to show the extreme the site goes to, for those considering it as a possible join. You sometimes get the feeling the women are in a dare contest, "I can get a stick, a pool cue and a bat in my butt".
This is simply a problem for me because I like the butt. The curves of it. The silhouette of it a shadow. If you're into the extreme insertions and projectile shooting, you will like this site. Nothing wrong with it if you do. That part just isn't for me.
The good part, they do have the less extreme sets. You get a lot of good lesbian strap-on action and I've never had a problem with women being rough with women. I find it erotic even. The models here are more to my liking than some of the Kink sites. You will see a lot more curvy models here than they typically have.
The site has a pretty good sized collection. I'm counting 217 scenes as of 12/11/12. While this a good-sized collection for unique content like this site has, when I figure in the sets I wasn't even considering, it goes down quite a bit and was what caused me to lower the score some. I typed these out in notepad as I was looking through the site for sets I was interested in.
My counts could be off 1-2.
At least 42 scenes involved enemas.
At least 12-15 more involved instruments that are either gynecological, or look gynecological.
So roughly 1/4 of the scenes didn't appeal to me right from the start. If those scenes would appeal to you, then add another 5 points to the score. I found my boundary there.
The rest of it, to the dismay of some, the delight of others, is more straightforward, rough anal sex, be it with a woman or man or group. There's fisting, there's lesbianism, and I mostly enjoyed these scenes. I'm on the indifferent boat when it comes to fisting.
What it adds up to, if the pictures were easy to download in one zip and the enema/gynecological scenes aren't counted, the site would have scored 94 for me, but because it only updates once a week, there's no telling if 3 of my 4 monthly updates will be in the don't appeal or appeal group, so I can't just say "look over" those scenes.
The models save it for me. The regular Kink girls are around, Isis Love, Skin Diamond, Vicki Chase, would love to see more Kelly Divine and Francesca Le. It leaves me feeling the same way as i have about the other Kink sites. By the 30th day of my membership, I'm usually thinking "time to move on to another niche". It definitely teeters on repetitive, but I don't think that would sit in for those who only join for a month at a time. Way too many puns in this.
I would recommend it most for fans of In the Crack and Give Me Pink. The one big difference, both of those sites excel or excelled in Give Me Pink's case, at high quality photos too. Some of this action is better watched in a still photograph than in real-time movement.
It definitely is good for breaking the monotony of mainstream porn. I would recommend it to most people. One other note is the ass-worship, I do like these and first saw this type of porn on Evil Angel, so if you're a fan of those there is something here for you too.
