Pros:
- In my opinion, easily the best value on the internet. My highest score ever given.
- Newest video quality also gets a big upgrade, all the way to 1920 high end with 8000 bitrate, previous year or so was 1280 high end with 4000 bitrate.
- Now comes with 21st Sextury flagship site, Pix and Video and their two other big sites Zoliboy and Sweet Sophie Moone.
- Very unlikely that there is a Euro model that they don't have.
- Pictures are zipped
- Price reduces the longer you stay a member. First month is $29.95, second month is $23.28, 3rd month is $16.61 and by the 4th month, the recur price drops to $9.95 and that includes Club Sandy, Pix and Video and 48 other sites.
- Club Sandy updates daily, Pix and Video updates daily and have been for 6 years.
- Not only does the price reduce each month, you also get new bonus sites each month until you reach 50.
- Excellent customer service if needed.
- A blend of solo, b/g, g/g, g/g/g/g/g content.
Cons:
- The closest I can find to a con is that the older content does take a hit in quality, but that is common with all sites that have been around this long. Not a big con for me, but will mention it.
- The only other one I could find will be called the "Drooler con", the pictures are 1280 high end. Though as I've said in other reviews of 21st Sextury sites they have some of the most beautiful colors/settings/outfits of any site to these eyes.
Bottom Line:
I felt like it was Christmas for me. For years, I had been a member of the Club Sandy/Pix and Video combo package. A deal to me at $44.95 a month. A couple of times each year, I would join this combo Club Sandy/Sweet Sophie Moone, then a few other months would be Pix and Video/Zoliboy. They was probably only 1-2 months that I wasn't a member of one of the combo deals.
Then I saw where 21st Sextury, the parent company, had changed their sites and packages. There was a lot of confusion at first.
Now, the confusion has been put to rest. You can join Club Sandy for $29.95 the first month and you instantly get Pix and Video, Zoliboy, Sweet Sophie Moone and 21 other sites, instantly.
Of those 21 other sites there are at least 4 other 100% exclusive sites and the other ones are DVD site type content separated into niche.
For me, the first four sites, Club Sandy, Pix and Video, Zoliboy and Sweet Sophie Moone are easily worth $29.95, let alone the fact that the price drops each month until you get to $9.95 per month.
That to me is an amazing deal. Brief reviews of each of those 4 sites.
Club Sandy - The beautiful, elegant Sandy. Still plays as a solo site for Sandy, but has grown into much more. The site's updates go back to December 2003, daily updates since. Sandy is still around too, though her updates of herself are not as frequent as they used to be. Still, there are literally hundreds of Sandy updates on this site. And she just keeps looking better with time. The best part is that she seems to be close or at least good friends with most of the top models in Europe. Besides being her solo site, you'll see 30+ updates of Eve Angel, similar numbered updates of Aneta Keys, Sandra Shine, so it really isn't the basic solo site most solo sites are. It's a multi-model feast of beautiful women. Still updating daily, picture set one day, video set the next, videos are now coming at 1920 high end.
Pix and Video - I always favored it a hair over Club Sandy, but we're talking the difference in maybe 1 point. Pix and Video is a multi-model site that has pretty much every Euro model that I know of and like Club Sandy, the big names, Sandra, Eve, Aneta, have dozens of sets on this site as well. Still updating daily with a picture set AND video set each day. Newest videos in true HD at 1920 high end.
Zoliboy - The internet's best porn assistant. Zoli has good relationships with the models, they find him charming and funny or at least he thinks they do! Similar to Pix and Video in its early years except much more extreme content, peeing, rough but not too rough sex, some voyeuristic content also. The site has 1 full video/picture update per week now. The archive dates back to December 2003 and the updates used to be daily, so the archive is full of content. An added note, the newer content is more extreme than the older. The models aren't as good now as they used to be, there are still some pretty ones out of the new ones, continue in reply below...

Pros:
- Eve Angel to me is the perfect model by my standards.
- The quality is excellent, you get two streaming options. The download options go like this. HDV DIVX 1280x720 4,000 bitrate, Quicktime 960x540 2,000 bitrate, WMV 852x480 and WMV HD 1280x720 4,000 bitrate. There also is the option to download in smaller mpeg parts for those with slower connections.
- Pictures can be downloaded in zips.
- Updates are coming on schedule. You get 3 updates per week, and each update includes a video set and picture set. They could easily split those up and release the picture set one day, video the next and say they update 6 times a week. In short, you get at least 3 picture sets and 3 videos per week. This past week they threw in a bonus picture set.
- Biggest pro for me, every update has Eve in it! There are some g/g sets, but Eve is in each one, unlike most solo sites that give you "friends" updates.
- Fast DL speed, about 98% of my max
- Simple navigation
- More in bottom line
Cons:
- One of the older videos which was at one time only available in parts and 320 high end, has been remastered to 704 high end and as a full scene, but the first 4 minutes has nothing in it! They've left a part out when piecing it together. I have the parts and the full scene ends before the parts do.
- Some of the older videos that are from 1byday can be a bit misleading. The download link says, "1280x720", but when you download it is only 704 high end. I can forgive this since those videos are 5-7 years old and probably can't be remastered any higher than 704.
Bottom Line:
A 95 may seem high, but I'm giving this score based on the site delivering exactly what they've promised. Exclusive new content of Eve in HD quality, pictures are 2000 high end with zips. I would look at the site as starting on September 1st. Everything before that is from the other DDF sites. The good news there, those old videos that were split into parts can now be downloaded in full scenes, with only one showing technical problems. Plus the old picture sets have also been updated to 2000 high end.
Since September 1st there has been 11 updates, each with a video and a picture set. I mention that since Eve's old site would release a picture set one day, the video set the next day. If they did that here, it would be 22 updates in 27 days. That is very good considering every update is in HD video. A nice mix so far as well.
So far, of the new sets, 4 girl/girl, 7 solo. I prefer Eve solo, but when the other girls are Monika Sweet and Sandra Shine, I'm not complaining!
The total amount of content including the old sets and sets from Hot Legs and Feet, 1byday, House of Taboo equals 66 sets, that's 66 picture sets and 66 videos. Split them into separate sets by picture/video, you're getting 132 sets.
Of course, Denys is one of the best photographers for Eve. It's a close match between him and Viv Thomas. They both get the best of Eve in every set.
I think Eve's passion as a performer is one of the big sells here. First of all, she has regularly admitted that she loves teasing. Most of these sets start out fully clothed and she teases/strips for nearly half of the video! And she is one of the best at stripping/teasing, nearly constant eye contact with the camera, licking her lips.
If I had any complaint it would be that I don't like the curly hair near as good as the straight, it's cute, but I like to think Eve is beyond the cute stage. No offense Eve if you read that! I don't mean you look old. I just see her more now as a very elegant, seductive model. I was surprised to see Sandra Shine on the site since she has her own exclusive site, but they are great together. Both are speaking English in it too. Now, if Eve would call Mia Stone up...
One little complaint that isn't that bad. Occasionally the site will link the new update with the previous update. It is fixed before the day is up though.
Considering most solo sites are either lower quality or not updating, I think this one has to be near the top in solo sites. There is a diary, but I don't expect much from it.
As one of the biggest Eve fans in the world, I know that I could be a bit biased here, but I do think the numbers, the consistent updates, the high technical quality justifies the high score. Oh and sign up for 6 months, you get a discount and a personalized autographed picture of Eve.
Highly recommended for Eve fans and for fans of solo models. She has the most realistic solo orgasms I've seen in porn. Also a good site if you like panties, heels, etc...

Pros:
- Wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, home of the Bang Bus, multi-cultured models everywhere, booties, boobies and 20+ more sites. Just behind Reality Kings in the network battle.
- I'm not seeing any DL limit whatsoever, downloaded 12.2 GB from Bang Bus and didn't hit any limit.
- Video quality has improved, especially the bitrates that used to be 500, those are now from 1,000-2,000. Resolution is 640 high end.
- One of the few porn networks that actually has some pretty funny content on it, though that can be distracting.
- Pretty good navigation from site to site, doesn't require re-login, new version of the site does seem to run faster with faster download speeds too.
- Good TBP Price
- The Brazilian Grinder Paola Rey is on here! Watch those hips go and be traumatized for life trying to find a woman that can do that!
Cons:
- Pictures but no zips, damn it.
- Content can become repetitive
- Humor in porn can be a bad thing.
- More advertisements than a Sunday newspaper. Sadly, some of the advertisements look better than their content.
Bottom Line:
I've been with this network for years, all the way back to when it was called "The Ox Pass". The original and best reason to join this network was the Bang Bus site. That is as real as reality porn gets. Man and woman, sometimes two women having sex in the back of a van while someone drives them around on interstates and highways!
I can remember chuckling at their old demand of the women, "Sing Wheels on the Bus while blowing me". The girls, for the most part, thought it was hilarious too. Very good-natured porn. The site is a bit repetitive now, but it is still people having sex in a van as they pass other cars.
My favorite site though is Ball Honeys. The models are rarely skinny, have plenty of curves and they earn their money!
There are five sites that stand out to me. Ball Honeys, Bang Bus, Tug Jobs, Ass Parade and Big Tits Round Asses. The other sites are hit or miss. Some updates on those are pretty good, but some are reaching the "boring and dull" point.
You get more than 20 sites, I'm counting 29. I think most are still updating. They have added some amateur sites to their network,and look to be true amateur content as none of the girls are familiar. The site Facial Fest is another favorite. I've seen only a few of these girls, still updating too. They have the Penny Show, if you remember that. They also have the very small 2003 content from Spring Break Spycam.
A few sites of note: Newbie Black, mostly amateur black girls shooting their first scenes. This is a newer site, it has around 60 videos and updates weekly. I've enjoyed this site so far.
Can He Score: Serious humor going on here. There used to be a dating show on tv where little balloons popped up with the girl's perceived thoughts of her date. Can He Score is the XXX version of it. The humor can be too much at times. Beautiful model in doggystyle on top of a table and out from her head pops a bubble, "Wonder if he has a brother" then "....A sister?"
It is pretty entertaining though. Kind of like watching Mystery Science Theater for porn.
The technical quality is the only real issue with the network. Videos do range in quality from site to site and older ones are bad quality. The thing I never understood, they have pictures, as many as 400 per video and 400 screencaps too, but no zips! I think pictures are important to reality porn since you can look at the surroundings, the passing people and see that it is really isn't set on a porn stage. They really are walking down the streets you've been on.
Reality Kings tops them on that one and in overall video quality. Site design is similar, models are similar, and both are, dare I say, fun networks. You won't find many slim models on this network. You also won't find a lot of fake boobs either. Lots of natural curves, some would even say chubby/fat, but I like their models as good as any sites.
Definite recommend, just be ready for some cheesy humor and all out goofiness.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- More boobs than a bra fitting sale, big boobs too, more content than the majority of networks.
- I'm not giving points for those DRM HD videos, the videos are 640-720 high end, decent quality and they do look nice on my computer.
- Pictures aren't very big less than 1280, but do come zipped, which is a plus.
- Some niches that I like, schoolgirl, public sex, and big boobs, big boobs, big boobs.
- Good download speeds.
- I actually got through to their customer service and they were helpful.
- Good TBP price
Cons:
- Those boobs, they're rarely real and many are very large on a small framed woman. Eva Angelina, Anette Dawn, and probably 20 more have pulled the big implants off well because their frames are more thick. Some of these girls look like if the wind blew right they would tip over.
- In some ways, I don't want to count this as a con, but am going to. The content becomes very repetitive, which is a problem with any site that focuses on certain niches.
- Not for sure what they're pulling with the 6 straight months earns HD video access, but we're putting DRM on those for now. Come on Brazzers, you really are better than that.
- My biggest complaint of all, why in the hell do they shut down or not update the two best sites they had going, Asses in Public and HQ Honeys? It makes it look like the repetitive niche sites are much easier to produce and much cheaper.
Bottom Line:
I scored this network a 90 a few years ago. I will say this, if you're new to porn and never have been a member on this network, it will be good to you. The thing is, the content has not changed one bit since 2007. I've always said that any site or network with niche (schoolgirl) outfits and storylines will become repetitive very fast. They've been doing it for years now.
Don't get me wrong though, they do have some very attractive models and at one time (2007), I really enjoyed their content and praised the niche content.
That big complaint that I had. I still have every episode from Asses in Public. This had girls flashing in public, full-on hardcore sex in public, in parking lots, at bus stops, in warehouses where people were working, behind the freaking man-made flood runoffs in Southern California. I grew up walking those runoffs! I loved that site, but no updates since 2008. HQ Honeys had started with a handful of Euro models, but it never updated.
I will give them credit for adding some Euro models to their network. Love the Black Angelica videos. But what else is there for me?
The video quality is pretty much average at 640 high end, 2000ish bitrate. The pictures are below average, like most networks are, but at least they do give you zip downloads.
I made the comment that the models overall remind me of Hollywood about 20 years ago, no emotion, plastic and blonde. Add big sunglasses, bright dresses and we're shooting west coast Miami Vice.
Here are the sites that I have liked, but tired of.
Big Tits At Work - I liked this one. Kind of an office setting with large breasted women in professional clothes, but how many times is this scenario believable? Probably the best site though in the network.
Baby Got Boobs - The site that brought me to the network, I wanted the Eva Angelina videos from it. Pretty much big boob hardcore.
Big Tits in Sports - Has a ton of potential, but most of the girls are about as athletic as a statue.
Big Tits at School - Schoolgirl uniform being seduced by teacher.
Busty and Real - Solid site with natural boobed women.
Asses in Public - One of the best exhibitionist/voyeuristic sites I've been on. Girl giving a handjob in the office of a car repair shop, makes the poor normal guy, non-porn star cum in 50 seconds or so. Very real action, cars beeping the horn, this is America! Probably should say this is California!
These all had their moments, but are now nothing more than mockery of their own archive.
Bring Asses in Public back, that site alone would add 10 points to my score. I'm just not satisfied with what looks to be a site that is content with their content being repetitive and dull.
I will still recommend it to first time members, but if you've been here before nothing has changed and if anything things have dropped way off in the last year or so. Last, and I mean this, "You're better than this". I would know, I used to love this network.

Pros:
- The headliner of a huge network, for me, the site itself is the biggest reason for joining.
- Network can be very rewarding if you stick around beyond one month, will explain BL.
- Price is fine with me, I used to pay $29.95 a month just for this site, so the other sites truly are "bonus" sites.
- Last 8-9 months movies are 1280 high end, 3000 bitrate, will further in BL.
- More beautiful Euro models than you can shake a stick at!
- Pictures are still 1280 high end, they come zipped and I've always loved their colors. Nice warm colors in most sets really bring out the glamour side of their models.
- Download speed and website performance has improved a great deal over the last year or so, hitting my max download speed at all times.
- Bonus sites do add some interesting niche content.
- Very responsive and friendly customer service. One of the best at customer service.
- Pix and Video updates daily with pic set and HD video.
- Hardcore, solo and g/g are all covered
Cons:
- Variation in quality since the site has been around since 2003, not a huge con though, just one of the bad perks of being a long running successful site.
- I'm still waiting on bigger pictures, but this one doesn't bother me as much as it could other potential members.
- I think the offering of bonus sites is a good one, the loyalty bonus sites are very good sites once you stick around past 1 month, but I wonder if it hurts some since they don't realize P&V was $29.95 before with no bonus sites? Also, on my part, I miss the Club Sandy/P&V combo for $45.
Bottom Line:
This is a review of a site that my previous review has expired. With 1byday's problems these days, I have to say that I think Pix and Video has topped the mighty 1byday. The recent models are better. The last year's quality is similar in technical terms and I prefer the P&V archive. This review and score is not really based on the network and Pix and Video, just Pix and Video. The updates are 7 days a week, none of those Jokes updates, no borrowed content from other sites as updates.
I went as deeply as possible with this part. Back to December 2008, the daily updates have had a picture set and HD video, 1280 high end. Before that back to 2006 or so, 640 high end on the videos and back before mid-2006 or so, it was 400 high end.
Bonus sites: Of the ones you receive with Pix and Video, to the best of my knowledge these are the instant access bonus sites that are exclusive to 21st Sextury: Mandy is Kinky, Speculum Plays, Creampie Reality, Teach Me Fisting and I believe Pee and Blow is.
Mandy is Kinky is some weird shit. You've been warned, aliens and zombies and morgue sex, it's like watching an X-rated Rob Zombie movie. No longer updates, Speculum Plays is what it says, but it a small site that also no longer updates that I know of. The other 3 look to be from Zoliboy, he is all into the creampie, peeing, fisting. There also are two transsexual sites, Perfect Ladyboys and Baby Got Balls. I think Perfect Ladyboys is an exclusive site to 21st Sextury since I can remember them asking poll questions on the main page about it, but I'm not positive on that one.
You're on Pix and Video most likely for the same reason I am, for Pix and Video. The good news is, let your monthly bill recur for one month, the price goes down to $24.95 and you get two new bonus sites, very good ones too, Asshole Fever and Sweet Sophie Moone. Those are premium level sites that many of us have joined for $29.95 in the past. Each month you stay, you get two more of these premium level sites for $24.95, plus you still have Pix and Video updating daily. Most of these premium bonus sites are updating in HD too.
I tried to make it 6 months awhile back, but didn't quite make it. If you do make it 6 months though, you get Club Sandy as a loyalty site. In my opinion Club Sandy and Pix and Video are two of the top 5 Euro sites on the internet and you get both plus all those other bonus premium sites for $25 a month. That's the best deal on the internet. If you can stay patient.
I just know I was really reaching on the cons. The models are some of the best, Aneta, Sandra, Eve, Angelica, and I could go on for an hour. I'm going to try to make it 6 months. I failed last time, I tried by starting with Club Sandy and at the time Pix and Video had several Eve Angel sets I didn't have. I couldn't wait 6 months to get those. Now I have them and will be patient...hopefully. It is a definite recommended site, you'll be hard pressed to find a larger or finer collection of models!

Pros:
- Part of the Reality Kings network, one of the best, if not best standalone sites offered on a network.
- Lots of content, as of 7/23/09 there is a total of 367 scenes with weekly updates.
- Mostly Euro models, including at least one set of nearly all of the major Euro stars. Also, there is a lot of b/g hardcore here including with some Euros that rarely do b/g. BL will go into that.
- Last 3 years quality has been pretty good, videos at 720x480 with 1400 bitrate, quality 3 years or older is 352x240 and cut into smaller parts.
- Pictures available, screenshots, zipped for easy download and some of these are huge, as many as 600 photos in one set.
- Site averages out to less than $1 a month when included with Reality Kings TBP price.
- Some of the better known models have multiple sets.
- Well above average download speeds
Cons:
- To start with, this site has two flaws for me. One is the navigation. Not that it is hard to navigate. You can search all updates on the site and start scrolling. There are 50 updates per page and some of the thumbnails don't even show the model's face. This leads to clicking every set, hitting back button and starting over.
- The other is the quality of the older content. The updates from 3 years ago and back have the videos split into at least 3 parts and are of poor quality 352 high end. As with most sites that feature Euro models, that older content is usually the best.
Bottom Line:
I rarely will single out a network site for a full review, but I think Mike's Apartment is worthy of it.
The site is a reality site that wants you to believe these unsuspecting Euro models are looking for an apartment to stay in. You know what happens next, "But...I have no how do you say...money?" The best part for me is the way the Euro models show that they don't take their acting very seriously as they often start laughing. I've wondered about a lot of the b/g sets that say the guy with the model is her husband or boyfriend that also needs some place to stay.
This is true in at least a couple of the videos. Cameron Cruz/Mona Lisa's real-life husband, John Cruz is with her on this site in a hardcore set and I believe a couple of the newer ones are with their real boyfriends. You know what that means, don't you? Very realistic and passionate sex.
Just a brief sampling of the top Euros that have been on this site: Eve Angel (2), Simony Diamond, Eufrat, Stracy Stone/Bijou (2), Cindy Hope (2), Wivien/Vivien, Sophie Moone, Angel Dark, Veronika Simon, Cameron Cruz/Mona Lisa (2), Zafira (2), Bambi, just to name the ones I have downloaded recently.
Here is the big part for me, Eufrat, Stracy, Zafira don't have much b/g on the internet, but they do b/g on Mike's Apartment. Also, some of these Euros end up on the other sites in the network as well. Cindy Hope has a recent scene on another RK site We Live Together.
They also do get the girls to talk a little in English. Eve Angel's first appearance on the site was in February 2004, that was pretty early in Eve's career. You can't help but laugh in a good way when she admits in English, "A deedo" (dildo) that she brought with her would be the only lucky thing that day.
The download limit that is often talked about rarely becomes a problem if you break the sites into download sessions and download to site named folders. I downloaded 17 full videos and 17 zipped screenshot sets last night for a total of 6.1 GB, well below the 10 GB daily limit. So, don't let that limit push you away. Plus, if you do hit it, they won't cancel your membership. They just tell you to come back in 24 hours.
The content on Mike's Apartment is some of the most collectible for Euro fans on the internet, especially with the rare b/g content. For me, if I had never been a member, I would pay the TBP price just for this site. One annoyance is that Mike couldn't keep his mouth shut early in the site's life. He would ask some of the dumbest questions ever asked in porno, "Do you play video games?" Mike then starts having a conversation with the cameraman about Family Guy! In his defense, Mike does grovel to the models probably the same way we would! "Oh my god, look at these perfect boobs" If the older content was remastered this site would rate in the low to mid 90s.
In closing, this is the site that makes Reality Kings my favorite network. Also remember, if the content wasn't good, the DL limit wouldn't bother anyone!
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- My favorite of the big booty, big booby, networks. Tons of content, multiple sites that could stand on their own.
- Despite the daily download limit of 10 GB, I'm not bothered by it. If it were 1-2 GB per day, that would bother me, but as it is, I could realistically download 300 GB in a month.
- TBP discounted price
- Covering most of the bases when it comes to broad range of cultures, white girls, Latinas, black girls, this is what sells the site to me.
- Some of the sites included have been longtime favorites like Mike in Brazil, 8th Street Latinas and Round and Brown.
- Quality is good enough for me. Newest download from Mike in Brazil is 720x404 with 1400 bitrate. Will further this thought in BL.
- Each video comes with zipped screenshots, I like these as a throw-in, but they're not going to blow you away with quality.
- I'm getting good connection and DL speed, about 95% of my max download speed
- Daily updates
Cons:
- The download limit could be a con to some, but I do have trouble listing that a site with what equals a 300 GB monthly limit equals a con. I only have a few site folders over the years that total 300 GB.
- I have found a few, probably less than 1% of the videos that are not available anymore.
- Content can be repetitive. Then again curvy butts never get repetitive to me!
- Some of the sites are no longer updating. I thought CFNM Secret had a ton of potential, but only one update this month.
- Some of the older content on the longer running sites is split into parts on the videos.
Bottom Line:
This is a re-review of a site that I hadn't been back on since about 2 years ago. I had to talk to myself reasonably about the DL Limit and how 300 GB in a month is more content than I usually download from any site in a month. This network, like Brazzers and Bang Bros is very high on the curvy models. I like Reality Kings a bit better because my favorite models are Latinas and they have a lot of Latina content.
The sites I like best with the network in order:
Mike's Apartment - Almost 100% Euro models in mostly hardcore action, a few solo and g/g sets. 8th Street Latinas - Mostly straightforward hardcore sex. Mike In Brazil - The Brazilian girls in hardcore action. Serious booty moving in these. MILF Hunter - Late 20s, early 30s models in hardcore action.
Round and Brown - Mostly black girls, but some dark Latinas as well, more curves than the autobahn.
In the VIP - Gives you a bit of a voyeur feel since they are supposed to be in a club. We Live Together - G/G/G sometimes more! Older sets are much better than the newer ones though. Money Talks - Takes on a bit of an exhibitionist side. Models, women on the street are offered money to show skin in public. Also has some terribly painful humiliation clips including a guy putting his dick in a mouse trap for money.
Those are the ones off the top of the head, but I have content from all 28 sites. All follow the curvy theme. I think Mike's Apartment could easily stand on its own, don't get any ideas Reality Kings! 8th Street Latinas as well. Both have years of content built up.
Onto the quality issue. My biggest concern with Reality Kings advertising HD on their main page, is just think how fast the download limit would fill up. The most recent Mike in Brazil clip is 720x404, 1400 bitrate, right at 40 minutes long and is 418 MB in size, double that to HD and the amount is near 1 GB, with a 10 GB limit per day that could become frustrating.
I do like the screenshots that you can download. These more of less look like a picture you or I could have taken with our personal camera. These are especially good in the Money Talks series. You can see that the content is live and the public is walking by without noticing.
They do have a CFNM site, if you've followed my reviews, these are usually well-liked by females, my wife likes them, but they aren't updating much anymore. They also didn't follow the CFNM rules, but it is still good. In their CFNM the man eventually gets more than a handjob.
For me, the network is as good or really better than most DVD sites since the different sites separate the content into niche for you. They do also have a bit more variety than the other networks mentioned have. One thing to keep in mind. Eventually you get tired of any niche. This is where repetition sets in.
Overall though, Euros, Latinas, black girls, white girls, it is like a buffet of women to me! DL limit notwithstanding, I recommend it, especially for the discounted price.

Pros:
- Generic type network that has its strengths, including several once solo sites that are no longer updating, including Brooke Skye.
- More content than you go through in a month, name the niche, they have it, Tranny, Pregnant, Gangbang, Lesbian, Solo, and so on.
- Navigation is good enough for this much content, things could get very confusing though if they're not careful.
- Average DL speed
- Some of these sites are 100% exclusive
- Says 106 sites and over 4,000 DVDs, see cons
- For everything you get the $30 price is not too bad, though I can't see going back.
- Quality on some sites goes up to HD level, but there is no "standard" size across all of the sites, so it can be hit or miss.
Cons:
- You're going to get the old network trick of advertising 106 sites and 4000 DVDs, when in reality, many of the DVDs are the content that fills the 106 sites.
- Some sites have no photos, others like Brooke Skye have lots of photos, in zips too.
- Your guess is as good as mine if they really are updating. The nature of the network being mostly of ripped DVDs, makes it impossible to know what is new and what isn't.
Bottom Line:
I think this is a very good idea. If you ever joined the Mayor Network, a network of Canadian solo models, they are all here. All of their content from their official sites. These include Brooke Skye, Kat Young, Samantha Gauge, Casey Hays, Lucy Summers, Faith Belle and Shelby Belle. From what I've heard, all of them have stopped modeling, so trying to sell their solo sites as active was no longer working since content was being recycled.
For me, Brooke's content is worth looking into this network. She was one of the most genuine, girl next door models I've seen. She answered reportedly 500-1000 emails per month when her site was at its peak, she would wear things that members wanted to see her in, masturbate where members wanted her to masturbate. She has one of porn's most real smiles, freckles, nice athletic body too. My favorite clip was requested by a member, masturbation in public at night. Brooke is sitting along a beach with people walking behind her on a sidewalk. She laughs and blushes, "I'm so going to orgasm at the wrong time".
The others from Mayor's were hit or miss, at least one was non-nude. You get a small Gaya Patal site if you like her. You also get three of those early 2000s major tease style models. Sweet Dominique, Sweet Juliet and Teen Jasmin, throw in solo model Lil' Sin and Teen Sabrina.
Those sites to my knowledge are 100% exclusive. Some of those go up to HD quality, most of those have zips for their photos and are unaltered since their days as standalone sites.
The rest of the network is mostly niche DVD clips listed as sites. I would say this content at best is 15% exclusive. Most of it is DVD ripped quality, 640 high end, but no photos.
The best way to look at the network is this way. You're getting one pretty popular and highly rated network that was running strong up until 2008 that was of solo Canadian models. You get 5 sites of solo models that were near the top of porn's "innocent" phase in the early 2000s and you get a cookie cutter DVD site with 4,000+ DVDs. Sweet Dominique was the first I ever joined and I vaguely remember a banner on her site back in 2002 claiming, "The internet's most downloaded teen".
Overall, I think the network could have its audience. The Mayor Network was $25 and very popular with members, even here at PU. Those innocent models from the early 2000s are worth re-visiting again. And though the DVDs are non-exclusive, that goes into the old adage of "It is new to me if I haven't seen it". You're sure to find something in those that interests you.
The varying quality hurts a bit, lack of photos on some sites hurt, lack of zips on some of the ones with photos hurt. I think hit or miss is the best way to describe the network. I will say that I won't be back, at best it is a one month join to scour the exclusive sites, none of those exclusive sites are updating though.
My recommendation is if you like the models in the exclusive sites, try it out, if not, don't fool with it.

Pros:
- A resounding yes! The photos have been added to the video site and are zipped.
- Viv Thomas, to me, is probably one of the top 3 producers/photographers of Euro porn.
- Right at 900 video scenes
- Videos are good, not great, 640 high end, 2000+ bitrate, looks good on my monitor. There is talk of HD videos coming soon.
- Pictures are still a bit smallish, 1280 max, but are zipped and there is talk of 1600-2000 high end in the future.
- Excellent download speeds
- Navigation works perfectly, even with the added photo sets. I use the model search, click model, page opens has videos here, pictures there, click the one you want and there you go.
- Photo sets date back to 2004.
- Updates have 14 updates this month, today is the 15th, so either a video or photo set each day.
Cons:
- Things are going good when I start nitpicking on the first con, would like to see the HD videos and higher resolution photos happen.
- Some of the photo sets are small in amount of photos, some sets are as small as 45 photos.
- Photo sets are non-exclusive, but not all of them, there are some exclusives and though non-exclusive, they were shot by Viv, he has just leased them out to others. A few of the videos are now non-exclusive, Videobox has recently added several of Viv's DVDs. Videos also can be gotten from Teen Dreams as bonus videos, but are of lesser quality, sub-1000 bitrates.
Bottom Line:
One of my older external drives crashed last year and I lost 85 GB of Viv videos because of it. Luckily for me, I had separated my favorite models videos from his site onto another newer drive, but still I had planned to return. I don't know when the zipped photo sets were added, but that was a huge surprise to me.
The catch and where a bit of confusion comes in, the photo updates here are not the same as the photo updates on Viv's photo site, BUT the archives are very similar. At this point though, the pictures are icing on the cake.
The videos, we talk a lot about how hardcore porn has lost something. Usually the word "eroticism" comes up, and I do believe Viv does eroticism better than any producer in the world.
Some of the things we see in current hardcore porn, men spitting on the women, slapping, and the almost always facial. You will see facials in Viv's videos, but no more often than you will see cumshot to the boobs, to the back/butt, to the stomach. A lot of the b/g scenes end in whatever position they are in, meaning you don't have to sit through a guy standing up and beating himself off to cum on the girl's face. If they are in doggy, the guy pulls out and cums on her back or butt.
There is no smacking, no spitting.
Viv's greatest strength in my opinion is his ability to get the best out of the female models. One can see it now with the model Cindy Hope, Cindy is a very cute model, but she has never shown that much that would lift her to superstar status. Her newest video for Viv, has lifted her to superstar status. She always seemed to be going through the motions, now she looks to be enjoying herself. I could even go back to Eve Angel's career before Viv, she was a cute average model. Viv had her in a few b/g scenes, then put her with other girls only or solo and she won an AVN award for best lesbian scene.
I will keep every video I download from this site on its own WD Passport hard drive and won't delete them. That is how good the videos here are.
Here are some numbers direct from the members area. Just to show the high number of top Euro models he has on this site and how much content of each.
Now to throw the huge staggering blow. The lovely, innocent but oh so dirty Jo, Monica Sweet, 72 videos and 63 photo sets!
Not to worry, these are just 6 or 7 of my favorites, there are over 700 more models on here. I think though you can see just how much content there is by looking at those I focused on.
At this point, with all of the same ol', same ol', sites out there, I can recommend this site as highly as any site on the internet. Oh and there is a nice mix of b/g, g/g and solo. The g/g scenes are probably the most believable on the internet. Highly recommended.

Pros:
- My original review expired yesterday, so here is a newly updated review to reflect the changes in Teen Dreams and it received a boost in the score from my 2007 review. One of the internet's biggest sites around.
- New servers deliver lightning fast downloads to me, US based as are the servers, regularly hits 100% of my max DL speed when using DownThemAll with Firefox
- The content over the last few years sees a raise in quality, pics top out in the 2500ish range and come zipped.
- Viv Thomas "bonus" content is equal to full access to the Viv Thomas video site and photo site as well. BL explains.
- Video quality is above average, 640-720 high end, 2000+ bitrates on last two years videos.
- Site forum is not only active, but has one of the funnest, most helpful and most knowledgeable groups of porn fans on it, outside of PU of course! Customer service is very responsive.
- Less than $20 price is icing on the cake
- Six updates per day, five days per week
Cons:
- Navigation has improved, but still could be hard for some to get used to. I've noticed that now when you click on a letter in the model list, the models come up alphabetically. Used to this wasn't the case, so this isn't quite the con it once was.
- Still suffers from alias problems when naming models. Sandra Shine is listed as Judith for example. I just pick a letter or two at a time and scan through them for recognizable faces.
- Videos named the same!
Bottom Line:
I have been impressed with the forward progress this site has made. Back when it seemed to be stalling in its progress, they picked up the Viv Thomas bonus content.
The Viv picture sets are not in zips, but you can download them all with DownThemAll add-on with Firefox. Also, the videos on Viv's bonus content are not as high quality as the ones you get from Viv's official video site, but they are 640 high end 750-1000 bitrate and look plenty good enough considering those come from a site that is $30 a month! His videos adds a lot of depth to this site as well. Viv has always been one of my favorites of Euro videos, hardcore, solo, girl/girl, those are all here for you to download and it comes free with Teen Dreams.
One thing I forgot to mention in the pros is the use of "guest models". This is an interesting feature that adds 25 pictures per set from other sites and lets you get a sampling of those site's content, quality and maybe even discover a new model or two.
The biggest complaint that I remember members having about TD is the speed of downloads. I've tried various download managers with the site and find that some won't work, Free Download Manager doesn't seem to work with the site, but try DownThemAll add-on for Firefox. Change the filter to download only movie and archive files, right click the page, click down them all and it will load up the videos and zip/rar files and do the work for you. Really pushes my speed limit as well, I had never seen my speed top 1,200 kb/s but it has here, 1,296 kb/s. I do limit my number of connections to 2 though.
Despite the old issues with finding models you are looking for, the site's navigation once you find the said model is really easy to work with. All the picture sets come up for the model and the movies as well, with DownThemAll, you can skip even having to click on each set to download.
Picture size is coming in at just under 2500 high end. Movies at 640-720 high end with 2000 bitrates. Pretty impressive numbers for a site that updates 30 times per week!
I want to compare it to Twistys, but I think there are a few notable differences. Like another site, Nubiles, Teen Dreams does shoot plenty of never before seen models, giving it more of an amateur feel than Twistys has. That is probably a major pro for some of you, but you all know me, I like my major glam models that I'm used to!
There is really no way for me to guess what the percentage of exclusive and non-exclusive content there is. For me, Twisty's Treat edges Teen Dreams out here. Though there is exclusive content on here, especially in the solo videos. Love the Eve Angel in the bathroom video, staring at herself in the mirror and brushing her hair obviously turns her on as much as it does me since she ends up with one foot on the sink and masturbating.
The amount of content can be overwhelming. I usually stay a member for 3 months at a time, then come back the next year. I like the changes and definitely recommend it!

Pros:
- The solo site of Rachel Aziani, includes access to the Aziani network for a reasonable price.
- Rachel really comes off as genuine, a sweet, very attractive "older" woman with a great body.
- Videos are excellent quality but this quality also will show up in the cons, 1280 high end with up to 8000 bitrates.
- Pictures are decent quality, I do like their style of photography, very glam, very pretty sets, but there is a con here as well.
- Download speeds can reach about 95% of my max, and like the above, there is a con here too.
- Bonus sites are really good, I actually prefer Aziani.com to this site and you get free access to it with a subscription. It is a multi-model site that addresses at least one of the cons of this site and has some models like Georgia Jones that are not of the big breasted variety.
- Rocker/Sybian/Machine videos, these are the best videos off of the network, in my opinion. Absolutely loved the Eva Angelina Rocker video.
Cons:
- First con might not be a con to some and that is that the quality of the videos is so high that the files are HUGE for what you get. Will expand on this in BL.
- Second, Rachel's solo site does not offer zip files and some sets on Aziani.com also do not offer zips, this to me is unacceptable for a site that does most everything else RIGHT.
- Third, connection problems, I went through about 2 hours of "cannot load" pages earlier this morning. Download speeds will shoot skyhigh one minute then drop to 1/6th the speed in the matter of minutes.
Bottom Line:
The cons and further explanation.
The video size of some of the newer videos on this network are too big. A few examples, a newer Rachel solo video, believe it was Rachel206, it is 1280 high end with a 7600 bitrate, it is 11 minutes and nearly 400 megs! I don't think that is quite as bad though as a Julie Michel video on Aziani.com, it is 1280 high end with an 8000 bitrate and is over 450 MBs, BUT is only 8 minutes long! A half a gig for an 8 minute video is just too much.
I appreciate the high quality and the fast bitrates, but I'm sure those file sizes could be cut in half and ran at 4000 bitrate and be just as smooth to the naked eye.
As much as I like Rachel, not having zips for her photo sets really stops me from even looking at the photo sets. Maybe scale back those videos and use the money saved to zip the photo sets?
The other con is the biggest one to me. I had countless connection problems and as a comment I posted about 6 weeks ago told, I also and STILL do get security warnings on this site. It fixes for a few days then the security warnings are back that a page is trying to install something on my computer. The page is a pop-under ad that the site uses. That is uncalled for, I think it is bad enough to rip your visitors off, but trying to install junk on a paying members computer is just not good business.
Get past those cons and you have an excellent network of sites. Rachel has developed into one of the more entertaining and enjoyable performers on the internet. She has a big pretty, warm smile and big boobs, though I'm not a big boob fan, she has nice boobs to be that big.
The star of the network is the Rocker videos, this is a sex machine that the women sit on and you can't help but chuckle a little at some of them. Georgia Jones' expressions while using it was worth joining to see! Eva Angelina did everything she could to wear the Rocker out, but the Rocker won and left Eva giggling.
Those are original to me, they also have Sybian, but these Rocker videos are the first I've seen.
Model selection is great. Not only the lovely Rachel, but you have those mentioned above, plus a personal favorite in Carmel Moore, Renee Perez and dozens of other top level, mostly American models.
As a fan of mostly Euro glam, I can still say that this network is my favorite "mostly" American network. The girls all seem relaxed and have fun. Rachel's hardcore sets are with her husband Buzz, who is also a big part of the site and you are getting real sex between them, not the cookie cutter sex on most DVD sites.
With all this praise though, those cons, especially the no zips and connection/pop-under ads problems are really dragging this network down. Give us zips and fix whatever the problem is with the connection and this solo site is a 90 by itself! The network itself, is a 92-94, but I'm knocking off 10 points for the no zips and connection problems. Still recommended, mainly for Aziani.com and the Rachel videos.

Pros:
- Originally reviewed site over 2 years ago, original review expired, Nubiles is one of the few sites that has improved consistently and is now one of my favorite sites.
- New videos are 1280 high end with 3500 bitrates, new picture sets are 2400 high end, pictures come zipped in "low" or "high" size, videos have several options and can be downloaded in parts or whole scenes
- They really impress me with their constant "new" models that sometimes aren't really new to the world of porn, but are usually still pretty new and are new to the site.
- Shoots are more serious now than they used to be, not as much lollipops and bobbisocks and trying to make the model look one day over 18.
- Navigation is nice and smooth, model list makes for easy to find models, especially ones going by different names, nice size thumbnails that show the model so you can recognize her.
- Broad range of models from America, Europe, but not a lot of range in race.
- Some of the interviews are enjoyable
Cons:
- Wish they would remaster some of the old sets, they have some really great content of Eve Angel, Sandra Shine and a few others that was from 2004-05 that would look exceptional in full scene HD and remaster the pictures as well.
- Some of the shoots are very softcore, though most at least show everything, many of the older videos are simply of the girls rolling around naked on the bed.
Bottom Line:
Nubiles is one of those rare sites that has chased its potential, without giving up. Their model selection is one of the best on the internet.
One of my very favorite "newer" models is Tanner Mayes and Nubiles was one of the first sites that I know of, to shoot her.
One thing that I think can be confusing is when you look at their model list based on their member rankings. This is what I see in the top 10.
Of those 10 I know two, Bree and Franziska, never seen or heard of the other 8. Also the top 3 look young enough that I would ID them. Maybe it gives off the wrong image of the site? I've never really been into the very teen group and those 3 practically define it!
Others on the site include early content of Amy Reid, Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Tanner Mayes, and literally dozens of established stars.
The newer videos are 1280 with 3500 bitrate and look great, even the older videos are not bad, the Eve videos are from 5 years ago and are 640 high end, so that isn't bad at all.
The pictures have a nice crispness to them, but do agree with others that the watermark is a bit distracting.
The site updates daily, but not for sure on the exact amount of updates per day since they do seem to vary, I've seen some days that have as many as 6 updates per day, other days as few as 3. Either way, you get a lot of updates in a month's time and they have a nice sized amount of content overall.
The site in some ways reminds me of a blend between ALS Scan and FTV Girls, which should be taken as a 100% pure compliment. They really seem to be hitting their peak at their site at the right time. I've been a member 4 of the last 6 months and continue to enjoy the membership.
They have this update called "New faces" and this is where they add 3 new girls per week to their site. I like this, though I am not a big fan of amateur content, these girls usually are ones that I have not seen before or have seen very little content of if I have seen them.
Picture size continues to improve, zips are quick and easy to download, though they do limit your connections to 6 at a time.
As I said in the cons, the main improvements I would ask for is remastering of old content. ALS Scan has had a great deal of success with their remastering process and think it would make me move this site even up higher if they did it too. Also has a member forum, some bonus girls and bonus content that is mostly hardcore and the site has a nice blend of hardcore b/g, g/g, solo.
The content is also exclusive as far as I know though a few sets are in familiar settings that I have seen before, I still believe these are exclusive, probably just using the same shoot area that other sites have.
Well worth a month join and in my case, a multi-month join. Recommended to all!

Pros:
- Most likely the internet's biggest site, as of 4-28-09 has 6,235 DVDs, should eclipse 35,000 scenes later today.
- Recent additions of new studios has improved their model coverage, with dozens of videos from European studios.
- Quality, though varying, on DVD quality files is well above average
- Five full DVDs per day
- 10 month membership for DVD quality for $99
- Though there are search engine problems, they do allow studio search, which usually is good enough for me to find what I like.
- Covers most fetishes at least to some degree, have a breakdown in the BL
Cons:
- Those new premium channels have already pissed me off. One of my favorite "classic" actresses is Taylor Hayes, I did a search for her to find to my surprise 18 scenes of the lovely, leggy goddess, clicked her name to start downloading only to find out ALL 18 scenes were on the Vivid premium channel. That is how you piss a customer off.
- No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to get all the content from here that I want because the search engine does have problems and will give example in BL.
Bottom Line:
Videobox to me is at the point where everyone wants to be, but once they get there they realize there is only one way to go and that is down.
They do everything they promise, 5 new DVDs per day, very good quality, I've seen videos from here with bitrates as high as 5,000 and resolution as high as 720.
While talking to a friend about porn, I mentioned the deal you get when you join videobox and I think it was pretty well taken. Imagine going to a store, maybe a video store and they hand you a box with 150 porn DVDs in it and say you can have it for $15. I really don't know many guys that would pass that up, and that is what you get with a videobox subscription. A total of 150 new DVDs per month for $15, and you throw in the oh by the way, you also get access to 6,200 other DVDs too.
If I was a strictly video lover, this would be the only site I would need to join to get those. It is kind of like having an adult video store in your computer.
My one major complaint is the search engine. A good example will use my favorite porn model Eve Angel. Eve rarely appears on DVDs and most are from early in her career, but here are my search results for her on videobox.
Eve Angel search shows 10 scenes.
Actual Eve Angel scenes out of those 10 results was FIVE.
So there was five search results that were not Eve Angel. Now lets add to this, Eve, earlier in her career went by the name Severine, and on a very rare occasion as Seurine. There probably are plenty of fans out there who do not know that she went by those names since many didn't know she did hardcore scenes early in her career under a different name. So, I search the most common spelling as Severine, and get 0 results. I search the rare spelling of Seurine and get 2 results, and both are Eve Angel.
All of her videos on videobox that are hardcore have 5 stars, it would look like to me that someone on their site would at least take the time to move those 2 rare ones under her Eve Angel name, other sites have that have those clips, so VB should as well.
Fetishes and new studios they have added. The great work of Viv Thomas and Private studios now have a combined 113 DVDs on the site now, these are almost exclusively European actresses and that means around 550 new(er) Euro scenes.
I just think VB has set the bar so high that they open themselves to criticism that other sites won't face. My main point in my bottom line is that a 94 might be too low, they do everything they say and with the addition of the varied studios are getting some rare DVDs that are even hard to buy from the actual studios.
If that search engine was better, not so much the engine itself, just the naming of models, this site would probably receive a 4-5 point raise from me and if they didn't tease me with those premium channels, I would probably go 100. Highly recommended!

Updated:
05-22-0911:27pm (Update History) Reason: Reviewed the site during 2nd week of membership, gave them a few weeks to fix Viv Thomas bonus content, but never did, adjusted score accordingly.
Pros:
- Teen Dream Network, 13 solo model sites, the sites when combined make for a nice introduction to Euro models.
- Quality on all content varies, but videos stay at 640 high end or above and pictures are 1280 or above, most pictures are in the 2000 high end range and all come zipped.
- Viv Thomas bonus content, I still believe this is the very best bonus content deal on the internet. Viv's video and photo site would cost $50 to join both and you get access to lower quality, but ok, video and pictures here.
- Some of the content on each site seems to be exclusive, at least to my eyes.
- Navigation is smooth, except for having to sign in on each site.
- Fast DLs, if the models on this network are enough for you, you might like this better than the Teen Dreams site.
Cons:
- At least half of the content of each site is available on Teen Dreams main site. Some of the other content is widely licensed and you get a small amount, I'm estimating 30% at most content that is exclusive to this network.
- Viv bonus content has been problematic for a year now, including on Teen Dreams main site, the best way to describe it is moody. It doesn't like some firewalls. So you have to do some tweaking to get it to work.
- Updates are the only thing more moodier than the bonus content. I noticed that Peaches website hasn't been updated since 2008.
Bottom Line:
EDIT: Lowered score to 84, mainly for the Eve and Zuzanna sites. Could not get the Viv Thomas bonus content to download with the TD Network account, so removed 4 points from score. Viv content downloads fine with Teen Dream account The Viv bonus content to me is a huge selling point and if not for the Eve and Zuzanna content, I would be hard pressed to recommend this network.
The sites break down into these 13 models, Eve Angel, Zuzanna Z, Lucky, Peaches, Tiffany, Suzie, Ira, Monika V, Vicky, Regina, Denisa/Gina, Irena Marci.
I'm not real familiar with Ira, Regina or Vicky, but the other 10 are top tier Euro models. You get the Teen Dreams quality in most of the sets, the pictures are up and around 2000 high end in most cases, some of the older licensed content is down in the 1280 area, but you do at least get zipped files.
The videos range from 640 to 1280 high end, bitrates range from 1000 to 4400.
To me, even in my years and hundreds of sites joined, I often get frustrated on Teen Dreams because of the sheer number of models. We've all talked about the TD search engine and how who knows where it will send you, but when you join this network, you know exactly which models you are getting and all you do is click their link and go to their site.
I really don't know what the problem is with the Viv bonus content, but I first had the problem last year while a member of the main site Teen Dreams. I continue to have the problem, I have noticed that I don't seem to have the problem as often when using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.
As you can see, the numbers are not staggering, but as an overall site that focuses on top tier models, it is very good. Some of that Lucky content looks to be new, like Eve, Lucky's weight varies, especially in her newer content.
I have downloaded all the content on the site and plan on keeping all of it except for maybe the Vicky content, so that should at least vouch for the quality of these models. There is very little b/g hardcore in these sets, one of the newer Lucky videos is hardcore, but the vast majority of the content is solo masturbation.
The score could seem a little high since half of this content is available on Teen Dreams, but the other half makes up for it and I think for a person who hasn't been to TD, this network could be a real diamond in the rough. Though the updates do not make the future look too bright. Still I recommend it, especially for newcomers to Euro girls.

Pros:
- Part of the Teen Dreams Network, 13 solo sites for $19.99
- Has SOME exclusive Eve content, not a lot though, overall content number isn't bad considering it is part of a network.
- 36 total videos, 50 picture sets, just going from my knowledge of Eve's content, less than 10 of the videos are exclusive and less than 10 of the picture sets are exclusive, but probably 20% of content comes from Eve's still listed as "official" site, not Teen Dreams are widely licensed content, so if you haven't been to her official site around half of the content will be new to you.
- Viv Thomas bonus content, both picture and videos from Viv's own sites, excellent content, especially videos.
- Sizes of pictures and videos vary, will explain in BL
- Very fast DL speeds, starting to think not many people on these sites
- Nice navigation that makes downloading, especially picture sets, very easy, zipped pictures.
Cons:
- Updates are sporadic at best
- Several movies will not work, will explain in BL, to show how to know this content is not exclusive, not even to the TD family of sites.
- Viv Thomas content is hit or miss, not in quality or if it is good, but sometimes the damn things won't even download or stream. It downloads a 336 byte error file instead
- To the ultimate of cons, a solo model site of Eve Angel and one of the sets of pictures listed of course as Eve, since it is her solo site, does not have Eve in the set, instead, a young Angel Dark, who did, when younger look a little like Eve. I'm sorry but that is dreadful to see a solo site that can't even identify Eve correctly.
Bottom Line:
Will also re-review the entire network. I wanted to focus mainly on Eve's by itself since it is the largest of the sites and I know there are a lot of Eve fans who might be looking for content of her that they don't have.
This site has by my count, 8 videos that are exclusive to it. For me, those 8 videos were worth $20. Also 4 on Viv's bonus content that I don't have, including a really great g/g scene with Vivien/Wivien/Gitta.
Here is the problem, the site still claims to be exclusive and while I cannot say that they shouldn't claim sets that are on Teen Dreams as exclusive, I can tell you that not everything on here is from Teen Dreams or exclusive.
For one, there is the newer one of Eve by the pool that nearly every major site has, orange bikini. Then to add to this, there are no less than 7 sets that are from eveangel.com.
To make that even worse, 2 of the videos are STILL corrupt, just like they were on eveangel.com. You download them, click play and they play, but you cannot scan through the movie. I have both of those from Eve's site in .mov files since the .wmv they have here is still impossible to scan through. I believe I would be having a talk with that webmaster over there for licensing content out that is corrupt and has been for 2 years.
Overall, the site would be a good way to get into Eve's material and the other models, especially for a newcomer to porn. The picture sets are up to 3,000 high end, and a couple of the videos are even HD, but if you have been a member on Eve's site and the other sites that carry a lot of licensed content like Twistys, Teen Dreams, ATK, Babelicious, you've already seen most of this.
There are though the exclusive videos I mentioned earlier and the Viv bonus content too, if you can get it to work.
The varying in size and quality is always a telltale sign of licensed content and that is what happens here. I've seen videos as high as HD quality, down to 640 high end and the pictures vary from 1280 up to 3000 high end.
For me, it was worth it, but I'm an Eve collector and wanted those rare videos I hadn't seen before. A couple do look newer too. You can usually tell Eve's newer content by her slightly heavier, slightly more bustier figure.
I most likely will never change my stance that Eve is the best solo model in porn. I've watched hundreds, maybe thousands of solo porn model videos and never seen one except maybe Tianna Lynn, that is as believable as Eve. She bring seduction, beautiful long hair and face, cute smile and great body, a full package if you will.
As for the updates, your guess is as good as mine and that isn't just with this site, all the sites in the network seem to have update spurts then die off for months at a time with no updates.
Worth joining for the exclusive videos for Eve fans, Viv bonus and overall the network is a good deal too, but be forewarned that this content is far from 100% exclusive.

Pros:
- My new favorite of the picture heavy sites, TBP price of $19.95 is a bargain, as is the year deal of $99.99.
- 4 updates per day
- There could be bigger, but the biggest resolution I'm seeing right now is 3744x5616, all sets are zipped.
- Amount of content is overwhelming, more than I have been able to go through in 3 months.
- After much thought, I consider the lack of many movies a pro. The movies they do have rarely compare to the photo sets.
- Movies are high quality technically and come in DIVX, QT H264, IPOD, WMV and MPEG.
- Navigation is pretty simple to use considering the amount of content.
- DL speed uses about 98% of my max speed
Cons:
- Movies to me are not worth downloading, and if they didn't post them, I wouldn't complain.
- Hard to believe, but some of the g/g sets to me take away from the solo sets.
- If you like anything that has to do with penetration, even solo, this isn't the site for you and wasn't for me a few years ago.
Bottom Line:
Back when I first reviewed Met-Art, I gave it an 80. I felt at that time, I was being nice with that score. If nothing else, the 80 was my way of saying at least everything is high quality and they update consistently.
Things have changed, I hadn't been a member in a year. I joined again and it was like a whole new world opened up to my perverted eyes. There still are sets that I find annoying, poses for example, but I'm finding much more to like now than I did two years ago.
The models range from typical slim models to average weight and bust. There aren't many Daisy DDDD cups here.
I think my change in how I look at this site came about when on a forum of a well-known Euro photographer, I read a post by him that said his sets when viewed told a story and that "some people don't get that story". I looked at Met-Art's sets that way and now will be joining for a year as soon as my monthly subscription runs out.
The resolution size of the pictures is huge. Those high 4000s images are almost like looking at a map! You scroll sideways or up and down and those are really amazing to look at in that much detail.
It probably didn't hurt that I developed myself a crush on Lidiya A and probably 30 other models. Including some of my longtime favorites like Zafira, Eve, Aneta.
My cons for this site are limited to things that I think could/would be cons to others. The videos are photoshoots or biographies/interviews. These are also quite large files. I downloaded one a few days ago that was 500 MB+, and it was nothing more than videoing the photoshoot. I also think the g/g sets are not near as good as the solo sets, though I haven't seen them all.
I am seeing more variety in their models than I had noticed in my earlier review and that helps me add the points to this re-review.
The search feature can be a hassle, at least for me, I'm not real specific in my searches, so I end up with hundreds of results, that is probably more my fault, but I don't know any of the set filenames, so how would I know what to search for using that function? In time, I would guess the search will be more functional for me as I get used to the site and its filenaming.
The locations are usually only second to the models in beauty also. I did run into a few blurry pictures here and there, but I'm not really complaining.
I had thought about sending their webmaster an email to ask a question, but haven't yet, so I don't know how their customer service is. To give an example of how much content there is, my question was going to ask who the model is in the thumbnail over "Your Profile", she is brunette, white lacy top opened to the middle and looks to be a matching skirt. I thought it was Zafira, but it isn't. So, I'm stuck looking through every model's page at the covers, hoping to find out who she is.
To me, that is a credit to how large the site is and how much content they have, add the very high quality and I have a new favorite photo site, recommended!

Updated:
03-18-0901:51am (Update History) Reason: I put it cons, some videos are split into parts, DL manager was set to download .wmv, and didn't realize those were just parts
Pros:
EDIT: Reason in cons
- 18 different network sites, most are solo sites and some are very good, trial for $10 works, full trial.
- Numbers vary between sites, newest site is Georgia Jones and the sets of pictures I have downloaded are 1440 high end, most of the other sites are 1280 high end, all sites NOW have zips for pictures. Will explain in BL
- Videos are not the focus here, but each site has 4-5 videos, usually solo of each model and are 720 high end.
- Holy cow, a network with good navigation, on the New Sensations brand at that? Navigation is smooth, one column on the left has each sites name in it, click it and go, no re-signing in, that easy!
- Definitely some of the best models on the internet, Aneta Keys, Susana Spears, Georgia Jones, Bree Olson and 14 more.
- Good download speeds
Cons:
EDIT: Lowered score 6 points, though the videos are not the focus here, as I was going back and looking through them, I realized the videos are split into parts, not all, but some are. The site is very DL manager friendly, and I hadn't realized those videos were split. Some of the content is so non-exclusive that they THANK the site that leased it to them.
- Would like to see more content, updates, the updates are spread out and never explained. I almost look at this as more of an archive like site.
- They fixed the no zips problem, I had reviewed this network under the Aneta Keys site name before they named it the "Pornstar Key Network" maybe more exclusive content would be the next step to improving this network. There is some exclusive content, several of the Georgia Jones sets are her newer sets with the subtle red highlights in her hair.
Bottom Line:
Sort of an unbalanced pros/cons list. There really isn't much to complain about considering the site's good trial price, 5 days for $10, the content is very good, though many of the older sets are licensed, seen it a million times sets like Aneta Keys in braids. I'm pretty sure every porn site on the internet has those sets. Still, there are some exclusive sets, since Georgia and Aneta are two of the models I collect, here are the amount of sets I didn't have of those two to show the exclusivity of the site.
Aneta Keys 23 exclusive photo sets that I don't have, 3 videos I don't have.
Georgia Jones 14 exclusive photo sets I don't have and 3 videos I don't have.
Now, for all I know those could be on other sites, but being a regular member of Twistys, Teen Dreams and once a year member of ATK's sites, I would think I would have them if they were licensed. One of the Georgia sets is really great, in pink leather type crotchless panties, hose and heels.
There also is an Evelyn Lory site on here, I can't say on the exclusive sets, since I stopped collecting her content last year, but the models overall are a very good selection of top level models, both European and American.
Almost feels like a greatest hits cd in music. All of the models are worth checking out. They have added a few more sites Pornstar Angels, which looks to be mostly licensed content and Jimmy Canon, which is sort of a multi-model site that focuses on pictures, I guess Canon = Camera.
A few other solo models, Mili Jay has a site with around 40 sets and a handful of videos, Jana Cova as well.
What it looks like is we've all seen those cheap solo sites that you join and get 30 picture sets, 5 videos and pay a premium $30 price for it. This looks like 15 of those combined into one network, which makes it a really good deal to me.
When I first reviewed this network it was under the name Simply Anetta Keys, they've changed hers to anettakeys.org, so maybe they are trying to give off a new image of their network.
I was very impressed with the navigation. This network moves seamlessly from one site to the next with one click, which is even more surprising since this is a New Sensations site and they are known for terrible navigation.
I'm impressed overall, I like the trial, I usually don't use those, but since I had been a member before, it is nice to pay a reduced price to be able to go back and get the new sets. I was surprised to see a Georgia Jones site, especially one with 20+ photo sets and 5 videos, I think Georgia is one of the real stars of the near future if used right. When I was on this network before, some sites had zips, others didn't, Aneta's didn't, but they all do now and to me that is a big step up in improvement.
As I end, I still can't say the exact amount of exclusivity of all the sites, but for that low trial price it is well worth the money, especially Georgia and Aneta fans. Recommended!

Pros:
- Another bonus site that can be accessed instantly with a membership to Zoliboy. It doesn't act like a bonus site.
- Blondes, blondes, blondes, I'm not a big fan of blondes, but some of these are some of the best blondes on the internet!
- I am going to say that I think all of the content on this one is exclusive to this site. There is some question since I don't download a lot of blonde content and wouldn't have it if it was on Club Sandy in the past, but I did get an older video of Zuzanna Z that I did not have, and I have all of her content from Club Sandy and Pix and Video, so it seems exclusive.
- Newer videos are 1280 high end, all sets have pictures in zips.
- Total amount of content as of 3-6-09 is 180 sets, videos and pictures in each set. That's a big bonus site!
- Weekly updates
Cons:
- Older videos are only 512 high end
- Though not a real con for me, there is very little action here except solo.
- If you completely dislike blondes, this isn't the site for you
Bottom Line:
Another of the really good bonus sites in the 21st Sextury networks. I really want to think all of this content is exclusive to this site. Some of the other bonus sites do have some content from Club Sandy and Pix and Video, but doesn't look to be one of them. This content was all new to me and my collection. I can go this far in determining if it had been published on those other sites before, 2 sets of Zuzanna Z, 8 of Sophie Moone, 3 of Mia Stone, 6 of Candy/Nikki Miller, and 1 of Bridgette/Anette Dawn, these are models that I do collect and I didn't have any of these sets.
There are some new models that are showing up here as well that I have never seen before, like the #1 rated set of a model just named Anita, not Anita Pearl, but she is a real looker and I hope to see more of her in the future. Brandy Smile is also a new one that I have never seen anywhere that I really liked.
The site's navigation is pretty simple follow the model link and scroll through until you find the one you are looking for. The model pages is the biggest improvement all of the 21st Sextury sites have made. You click the set you want to see and there is a zip file icon for the pictures and you can download the movie in parts are by the whole scene, nice and easy.
I'm still not for sure how much of the older content is being remastered to the higher quality, but one of the latest updates is a Sophie Moone set and I really hadn't seen any newer content of Sophie, so that could be one of the older ones remastered.
The picture quality is still 1280 high end max, those do come zipped and with the familiar sharp colors and lighting that we expect from 21st Sextury. I can honestly look at a picture without knowing or seeing the watermark and tell you if it is 21st Sextury by the colors.
The newer videos are 1280, the older ones at 512 are not that bad, but I will be looking forward to seeing those in better resolution. I should make note that at least for the last year or so, 720 replaced the 512, so it isn't just the newest videos that are better than 512.
Considering the model selection this site would be worth joining for those who prefer blondes, by itself for the $30 price, as a bonus site, this site is excellent for all, even those of us who don't prefer blondes.
My favorite set so far is without question one that has Zuzanna Z drinking coffee or tea, and she brings some serious eroticism by licking the spoon and if you know of Zuzanna, she looks slightly away from the camera and smiles, laughs a little when she does it. That girl will be a major star if she wants to stay in the business! Adding the always great Sophie and Mia Stone really makes me look beyond the blonde niche. There are just some models that transcend my preferences and this site is a nice reminder to me that maybe I don't have anything against blondes! Highly recommended as an instant access bonus site to all, and recommended to blonde lovers as highly as possibly!
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- As with both ALS sites, the quality and completeness of the content is as good and high as it gets.
- Newer videos hit to true HD 1920x1080 resolution, even the older ones are 720 high end.
- Picture sets are beyond complete, one picture set, Anita Pearl Scene 2, when downloaded in high resolution is...912 MB! Pictures can go up to 3800 high end and some of the sets near 400 pictures.
- Excellent download speeds, though can't get it to work with DL Manager, will allow resume in Firefox though.
- Some very good old content that features some of porn's biggest names when they were younger, love the old Anetta Keys sets
Cons:
- Had a frustrating experience as a member of both ALS Angels, ALS Scan, seems their sign-in page goes through the same server. So, when I clicked members to bring up my saved login information, it would be ALS Angels username and password, even though I was on ALS Scan, never happened before last month.
- See the above one and why this one makes the con list, after signing in to get in members area, have to sign in again when you go to download a video, so the confused server was causing me major headaches in accessing content.
- The models as a whole are beautiful, but they are almost all very, very skinny.
Bottom Line:
ALS Scan has been a favorite of mine for awhile now. I can see and agree with some of the complaints like the content is repetitive, but I can get over that for the high quality.
A common complaint that I have with both ALS sites is that the navigation can be confusing. I've signed in before, clicked the button for models, only to click a set and be asked to sign in again, what the hell? I just signed in! They do have what looks to be a separate model page for members, and I guess for whatever reason, I wasn't on it, instead, on the guest's model page, even though I had just signed in. Then there was the confusion with the server giving me my ALS Angels username and password when signing in on ALS Scan and of course, those are different so it rejected my sign-in attempt.
Minor complaints? Sure. But can be a bit of a hassle, especially for the impatient.
Quality wise this site is as good as any. I am not positive on this, but I want to believe the lowest quality videos are 720 high end, and the newer videos are 1920 high end. I might be nitpicking a little, but I do think this could be a negative for some members, a lot of the newer videos have 1280 high end as the LOWEST quality option and if you have a slow connection, you are going to be there awhile just to get the lowest quality ones. Some of the lowest quality videos are 500 MB for some scenes.
On the other hand, if you love the high quality this is a great site. The quantity is also very high. Much higher than sister site ALS Angels.
I'm one of the ones that likes the huge picture sets that have 200-400 photos in each set, so I really like that about ALS, the newer picture sets are almost as big of a file as the videos!
My complaints are minor when compared to the quality and quantity. They do also go back and remaster older content, kind of frustrating, since they take members votes on which sets to remaster and it rarely is the ones I am wanting remastered. This site does have an added bonus for collectors, since there is some older content of Sandy from Club Sandy, Anetta Keys as Alana, the retired and irreplaceable Mia Stone and Sophie Moone.
In general, the ALS staff, photographers, seem to have good relationships/friendships with the models, so you get some natural laughs from the models and smiles that don't look fake. I really can't complain about the skinny models, because they do have the other site with the curvier models, but I do want to add it in case anyone is wondering about the style of models. Put it this way, Sandra Shine, Eve Angel and Eufrat were too curvy for this one and are on the ALS Angels site instead. Starting to wonder about that myself. Not saying ALS is milking two sites by splitting the top models between their sites, but it is starting to look a little suspicious since both sites must be using the same server/different port? to sign in.
Still, I recommend the site for the quality and amount of content.

Pros:
- Euro glamour models go hardcore!
- 190 scenes as of 2-28-09, new full scene added weekly.
- Newer videos are 1280 high end, older ones are 512 high end
- Photos for all sets, zipped
- Is available as a bonus site with instant access by joining zoliboy.com
- Could stand on its own for collectors of rare content
Cons:
- Nitpicking, the older videos are 512 high end, but I had a few of these years ago and they were 320 high end and were split into pieces, these are the full scenes at 512, don't have enough video expertise to know if it would be too hard to up a 320 original to 1280. But as I said, it is a nitpick.
- Might make you look at those glamour girls a little different than you did!
- The updates do come in "pieces" so they can say they update daily, but in reality, they are updating once a week with a full scene. The pieces come during the week, then the full scene download is at the end of the week.
Bottom Line:
For two or three years, Pix and Video had this intro page with a picture of Eve Angel bent over having doggystyle sex with a man. I would say I have had 10 or more guys ask me where that clip was at. It was originally on Club Sandy as "Eve Getting it Hard in the Bathroom" or something like that, but it was removed several years ago.
Well, it is here! As a matter of fact, the number 1 voted video on the site. There are more of these very rare hard to find clips, some still appear on Club Sandy, but not all, and the new updated videos look to be completely new. There is the Anetta Keys hardcore set with her real-life boyfriend, they have it here. How about Tiffany Diamond and Sophie Moone in a boy-girl-girl hardcore set? It is here too! Though Sophie doesn't have sex with the guy, she gets very into it, as much as 3 nearly 4 fingers into it.
These are a couple of the more known hardcore scenes that collectors look for since you can't get them anymore on the sites they used to be on. Also of note, Candy aka Nikki Miller, has 3 hardcore videos on here. I had never seen any of those. And the much talked about, much questioned, model named Pink Pussy that had a truly great hardcore scene, then disappeared, they have it here too. I had seen it years ago and thought it was Sandy from Club Sandy, but don't think it was, but the scene is excellent.
Barbora, the underused Euro glamour model has a hardcore scene here as well. There are 190 scenes, and all of them are good. You just don't see Euro models in a lot of hardcore clips, but every clip here is hardcore. How about the newer Euro Sabrinka, very pretty girl, she has a scene on here that was just updated recently where she nearly rides the guy into the ground. I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it!
The numbers are good enough, newer updates are 1280 high end and all pictures are zipped, they have a middle area where some videos were 720 high end and then the older ones are 512. Those 512 ones were 320 years ago, so I guess that improvement is better than nothing and all scenes are downloadable in full scenes.
I really would have paid the full price for this site on its own, but I do consider myself a collector of the Euro models. If I were to compare it to a site, I would compare it to Hands on Hardcore by DDF. Similar models, great action, and a new scene each week. That is very impressive to me for a free bonus site. I noticed several of the 21st Sextury sites include instant access to this one, so be sure to look for it when joining one of those, I got it through Zoliboy, it is one of the few Euro hardcore sites you will find on the internet and I don't think you will be disappointed.
Glad to see that some of these videos that collectors have searched for have finally been brought back in the archives sections. Recommended highly as one of your bonus site and would recommend it straight out to collectors!

Pros:
- One of the 35 bonus sites that comes with Zoliboy.com, from the best of my knowledge is 100% exclusive.
- Videos are 720 high end, pictures are available for every scene and come zipped as are screenshots, that also come zipped.
- Decent storylines in some of the videos
- Good DL speed, just above average for me
- Pretty good sized collection, for a bonus site, considering it looks to be all-exclusive, around 85 scenes, videos last around 20 minutes each and photos and screenshots from each.
Cons:
- Mostly interracial, if that's not your thing, probably won't like it.
- Wouldn't have enough content to stand on its own, but makes a nice bonus sites.
- Anytime you bring back older porn stars, you're risking seriously cheesy dialogue and in a good way I guess, some of these have that cheesy dialogue, like, "I see you brought your own tripod"!
Bottom Line:
I wanted to give this a full review for a few reasons. I liked the content. I found it funny, sexy and for the most part enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.
It didn't hurt that there are several models on here that I thought had retired and left the business. This is also why I think this content is exclusive.
One of my favorite stars of the late 90s was the beautiful Cindy Crawford, not the runway model, but the slim, blonde, few slight girly tattoos, almost innocent looking model. Cindy ended up being pretty damn kinky in her hardcore movies as her career progressed. Well, I haven't seen much new from her in several years, but they have a scene on here with her. She has cut her hair real short and it is a brunette/blonde mix. But her face is instantly recognizable. Like most of the other models on this site, she has aged, her butt doesn't look as firm as it did, but she is still pretty sexy.
Others that I knew but hadn't seen lately were Devon Lee, Fiona Cheeks, Joey Valentine, Valentina Lopez, the big booty of Ryen Ryder, you ready for this one? Nina Hartley! The first ever Hustler I looked at had a picture of Nina in it, in her prime, so I was surprised to see her still making hardcore scenes, that magazine had to be in the 80s.
The pictures and screenshots zipped is a nice touch.
If I was just joining this site, it wouldn't be reviewed, simply because there isn't enough content for the price, but when you get it free, it turns out to be a pretty good site. I've seen much worse as bonuses. The best scene to me was the Cindy Crawford scene as her a black guy play strip basketball. Maybe it is me, but I think Cindy was missing on purpose ha ha!
Most of the scenes have a little story like this that leads into the sex and it really has a good-natured feel to the site, lots of laughing and joking before the sex. I always like seeing the 90s models now and most of them have turned out pretty good. Most of these are American models too, which is a little different than what you expect from 21st Sextury.
Video quality at 720 high end is probably about as good as you could ask for from a bonus site. They do update weekly, nice preview if you want to see some of your old favorites and how they have matured over the years. I think the preview shows every scene they have. I know it shows a few pages.
Overall, if you were going to just join this site, I would say no, not for $30. But with 34 other sites included, it isn't bad and is worth taking a look at to see if any of your old favorites are still churning out new scenes. I say this because my knowledge of older models is mostly limited to the big stars like Devon and Cindy, some of you that are older than I am might know more or all of these models. The action is very good in the scenes too and what I recommend is if you join a 21st Sextury site, just find one that includes instant access to this one.

Pros:
- The bustier, curvier sister site to ALS Scan
- High quality is the norm here, a discount is available to drop the price to $19.95.
- Picture sets are some of the largest I've seen, expect 3300-3800 on high end and around 200 photos, some have over 300 even! One of the newer picture sets of Angelika Black is 426 MB! That's getting your money's worth.
- Newer videos come in the beautiful 1920x1080 True HD and those are also huge, over 1 GB per movie on some of those.
- Download speeds are very good and using browser's DL manager allows resume if broken or paused.
- Most of the top models are here and some I haven't seen before too.
Cons:
- This is a pet peeve con of mine that might not be a big deal to others, the older picture sets are broken into pieces, takes 4-5 separate files just to get one full set. Newer sets have the option to download full set.
- Site can still be a bit confusing, will explain in Bottom Line
- Some videos are just photoshoots, but in their defense, they do list the videos as "masturbation" or "photoshoot".
- Update schedule isn't very clear or consistent
Bottom Line:
I had been a member on ALS Scan several times back in 2005, and was one of the ones that sent emails to Alex asking where models like Eve Angel, Sandra Shine and the more curvy models were. As a result of the emails that many sent in, they decided to open this site ALS Angels that is of the more curvy models than ALS Scan would normally have.
Since then, I usually join both at the same time, and really wish they would just make that an option, instead of needing to join each separately.
The picture sets are downright huge. Near 4000 high end on pictures and 300 pictures in the set, you are looking at close to 500 MB for a picture set. The videos might be the most crystal clear I have seen. Technically, very few sites come close.
Now, ALS Angels really is a very select site of top models. Thing is, I really don't know that I've seen all the models. On the main page there are these tiny "covers" that really do me no good, so I end up going to "featured models" which has roughly 100 models in it and each has multiple picture sets and videos. I think it kind of gnaws at me, wondering if I am missing some of them, but these 100 or so feature some of the best, Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Andi Valentino, Angelika Black, Silvia Saint, Regina Ice, Tea Jul, Stracy, Eufrat, I mean if that isn't Heaven, I don't wanna go!
There also is a feature that they have been running for a while where they offer a DVD of theirs of one of the models to download. Luckily for me, I joined awhile back and they had the Eve Angel DVD as the featured one. I'm not for sure on what schedule this changes. This is a nice bonus to their regular content though.
There is the problem with the update schedule. Just going to read directly from it right now. From February 1st to 20th there was 9 updates, next update is listed as February 27th, so that was an update every other day, now it will be a week. Not for sure what is going on there.
I almost feel bad saying 92 since there are a few questions with the updates and when the DVD changes, but the content is just too good to not score it high. I'm not for sure but some of these models are real knockouts that I have never seen, like this new one Jennifer Love, not the same as the Latina hardcore model of the same name.
Their content of my favorites is some of the best I have. Eve's content with them is some of the best I've seen. Regina Ice's content with them IS the best I've seen of her and they do take these models to more kinkier actions than most do. I personally could do without the speculum play, but that is really the only complaint with the content.
Consistent updates, better interface to find models, and it would be one of my top 2 or 3 sites, maybe even top if the updates followed a normal schedule and the DVD switch was consistent, and full zip downloads on all picture sets. Those aren't unrealistic and would match the already incredible quality! Recommended, especially if you like curvier models!

Pros:
- Part of the 21st Sextury Network, one of the best sites on the network. Received with Zoliboy membership and 33 other sites for one price.
- Total of 175 sets as of today 2/21/09, comes with picture set and video.
- Updates weekly/daily using the piece system, one piece added each day to equal full scene once a week.
- Newest videos are 1280 high end, pictures are 1280 high end and zipped.
- Navigation is very easy, nice, clear icons to download from without any hassle.
- DL speeds are above 95% of max speed, sites work with DL manager.
- Europe's best models are here too
Cons:
- I guess the biggest con is that the videos do range in size, the smallest on the oldest videos are 512 high end, then about halfway through the archived videos you jump to 720 high end and now all newer ones are 1280 high end.
- Some of the content is shared with other 21st Sextury sites, but not a large amount of it, I'm thinking around 25% at most, 10% could be more accurate. Good thing is, most of the sites with shared content are not available in your network that you get when you join one site.
- Have to think some are still confused by the network plans, but they have made it as clear as possible.
Bottom Line:
How many times do you join a site for the bonus sites? That is the case with this site for me. It was a deal breaker when I was deciding on which 21st Sextury site to join through. Several reasons, 10 sets of my favorite model Eve Angel, a new set of one of the few new Euros that I really like named Tea, trying her best to be the next Mia Stone, and that is a huge compliment from me. I also prefer solo and this is 100% solo, unless I missed some that weren't.
21st Sextury is one of the few companies that can get away with 1280 high end on pictures because their pictures are some of the most beautiful you will see. Nice, bright colors and the picture sets are in that "just right" size with around 100 pictures per set. I think they are planning to up the size of the pictures as there was a poll asking about sizes preferred. According to Zoliboy's site they are also going to start re-releasing the older material in high definition.
I'm impressed with the navigation for the most part. It still has the 1-23 model list that you kind of play take a guess and see which letter you land in, but they do also have an alphabetical list of models as well with a nice good size picture of each model so you can identify the models by face if you don't know their names. Once on a model's page, you click the set you want to see, then you have the option of watching a trailer of the video, an icon for photos, an icon for video and it is that simple. Simple is good in this case.
The biggest draw for me is of course the model selection. Where you do see the shared content is on some of the bigger name models like Aneta Keys, her set on here was on Club Sandy as well. A couple of the Eve Angel ones were on Club Sandy too, but it is still a pretty small number from what I can see.
The varying video quality could be frustrating since the oldest ones are only 512 high end, but no less than half of the content is at least 720, I clicked the middle of the videos list and those were 720. Overall, I think the quality is plenty good enough when considered that you have 34 other sites besides this one and weekly updates coming in HD.
I am also glad to see that I haven't had any connection problems or login problems that used to come up when a member on Club Sandy. My only problem there now is trying to read the number that you have to put in, believe me, it is hard to tell what it is, depending on the numbers, but hey, if that is the biggest complaint, that too should be looked as a compliment.
Download speeds are very good, around 1,000 kb/s with a 10 M connection and the site is download manager friendly, even works with the new drag and drop feature on free download manager.
For a bonus site it is like getting a second steak after eating one, with time and growth, could easily stand on its own. Recommended by joining through Zoliboy to get the other sites, which I will try to review most of the best ones.

Updated:
05-22-0911:31pm (Update History) Reason: Had probably 40% of the content on the network sites from years of Pix and Video and Club Sandy, still recommended for NW access, just not a 98
Pros:
- Score is based on the full package of sites included by joining through Zoliboy
- Zoli's site itself is a fetish site that is pretty extreme, newer updates are HD
- Zoli's older content is some of my favorite content on the internet. Top Euro models, including Eve Angel, Aneta Keys, Sophie Moone all have content on here from the past. Features some of the best interview style videos, as Zoli seems to be at least bi-lingual and jokes with the models.
- Newer videos are 1280 high end, pictures are screencaps and can be downloaded in zips.
- Very good DL speed, about 95% of my max.
- Big pro, bonus instant access to 35 sites, including several top-level sites that will go into more about in bottom line, bonus sites range from solo to MILF to transexuals.
- Network access for $29.95 crushes the cons
Cons:
- Pictures on Zoli's site are screencaps
- Older videos are only 512 high end
- Newer models are mostly just ugly, that is the best and easiest way for me to say it. I do not joke that Zoli's main page now features a laughing Zoli sitting beside a model with a bag over her head. My last review about his site joked that not only did I not want to see those new models naked, I wanted them to cover their faces too.
Bottom Line:
I researched the 21st Sextury sites, telling myself that I would find one that has the bonus sites that I wanted. This one had them and it is always fun to go back to Zoli's site and pick up the older content. Two favorite videos, one of Zoli shopping with Eve Angel, he slips into the dressing room with her, smiles at the camera and says, "Check this out guys!" and he is pretty excited about being in the small dressing room with a fully nude Eve. The other is with Aneta Keys, he keeps wanting to touch her, she tells him no several time, then finally gives in and Zoli goes on to talk about having dreams about her while she laughs at him.
My point being, he comes off as a normal guy like us porn users that can't believe he is there with these beautiful models and generally makes a fool of himself like we probably would.
The newer videos are 1280 high end, but I really can't tell you much about them except that they are 1280, because I am not into the extreme pee, puke, gag content at all. I did download one part though just to make sure it was 1280 and it was. The pictures are something of a disappointment since those are only screencaps, but on the bright side the screencaps come in zips and are usually nice looking for screencaps.
Zoli's site alone received an 84 from me in my last review of it and I would rate it around 84 again, maybe a couple more points since they have went to HD format. I scored the site what I did though because it comes with 34 other sites, and while some of those sites are of no interest to me like the transsexual sites, 2 of those, and some of the sites are just videos ripped from DVDs, there still are more than a few really great bonus sites that you get by joining through Zoliboy. The bonus sites you receive do vary depending on what site you join through, so hopefully this will save some of you the time of researching which site to join through.
These are the sites I was wanting and received all by joining through Zoliboy, Open Air Pleasures, Playful Hands, Footsie Babes, Sweet Sophie Moone, Dirty 101, Lezbo Honeys, Horny Euro Sluts and Asshole Fever. The only one I didn't get was Asshole Fever, but my only reason for wanting it was the Simony Diamond content it has. These sites are updating weekly in HD, and there is exclusive content on these sites. I have joined Sweet Sophie Moone before at full price of $30 and rated it a 90 by itself.
To give you an idea, there is 61 Eve Angel scenes available instantly, Sophie including her solo site has 352! Aneta Keys has 25. These are instantly mine for $30! For me, this is the very best value on the internet. The only thing I would still even mention as a con for all of the sites in this network is that the picture size is still 1280 max, but those are very nice, bright pictures. I am going to write separate reviews for some of those bonus sites too. As several are good enough to stand on their own and several have. Highest recommendation possible!
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- Still my favorite of the all-girl lesbian sites
- Newer videos have 1280x720 top option, most at least have 852 high end option and the first 30 or so videos on the site are the only really bad quality clips.
- Picture sets are zipped, but do not have picture set for each video set, also have a lot of photo sets that there is no video for.
- Good DL speed, about 95% of my max
- Total amount of content is very high 748 videos as of 2/2/2009, 1285 picture sets.
- Contains the most "tribbing" on a lesbian site that I have seen.
Cons:
- Some of the newer content has a cookie cutter feel to it. Very planned out scenes, which all usually are, but at least make me believe it could be real!
- As mentioned in pros, you will see a video you like and wonder how the pictures will look, but they don't have a picture set for every video and vice versa.
- More and more licensed, non-exclusive content finding its way on here.
Bottom Line:
I did lower my opinion a little on the overall score from my first review. Having said that, I still believe that overall it is the best girl/girl site on the internet. The older content has some real gems in those.
I still think content is disappearing. I used to have a Sarah Blake/Charlie Laine movie in front of a fireplace that said sapphic erotica on it, but it is nowhere to be found on the site. Probably one of the greatest g/g scenes I had ever seen.
Most of the newer scenes are bordering on uninteresting. I don't think it is the models' fault since I've seen these models in g/g content on other sites with much more passion and much more believability. The newest scene with Eve Angel is almost boring, and Eve won an award year before for Best Foreign Female Performer from AVN.
The site's navigation is okay. The new search is better than no search. I am currently on the site and searched for "videos" and added "trib" 57 results come up. Then I added "blonde" to the other two search terms and 42 results come up. So far so good. Then I added, "slim" to the 3 search terms and 53 results come up. Do some backwards math there and see that only 42 came up with videos/trib/blonde but 53 come up for videos/trib/blonde/slim.
Now you see what I mean about the search being better than no search, but you can also see how it isn't real consistent.
The picture sets range in quality by age. Most of the older sets are 1200 high end, and do come zipped. I've never really understood the purpose of giving you small, medium, large options on thumb size. I clicked the large thinking it was a larger resolution. The newest picture set, added on 1/31/09 has 2000 high end resolution.
Model selection is very good. There really are some very good videos in there. You just have to spend some time finding them. I especially recommend the older videos, even the ones of the "butch" looking models as those are filled with passion. There is one really cute video of 5 models, Sophie Moone is in it as is Sandra Shine, and Sophie does a little booty tease that turns into an orgy.
What it comes down to for me, the big name Euro models are great here, and the older videos are as well.
I rate it high because you just don't see a lot of quality lesbian content anymore and including SE's large back catalog of over 700 videos, you are sure to find some content to your liking. Add the high quality, just did a check, a video from 2003 had 640 high end with 1000 bitrate, one from 2006 has 960 high end with 2000 bitrate and in 2007 the 1280 high end started showing up. So that is pretty good, 640 is still standard for some sites today and they were doing it in 2003.
A few tweaks to the navigation and a more accurate search engine would help. I would personally like to be able to pick updates by years. It would make it easier to get the older content much easier. As it is, you have to click "Next" over and over until at the end. I still recommend it highly.
