Porn Mastermind

To be honest, when I first heard the name of this site I had visions of a Bond villain who, instead of coming up with a way to heist billions worth of jewels or take over the world, took hostage all of the porn industry's best and brightest and made them make the films he wanted to see. And while that obviously wasn't the case, I can't say I was at all disappointed with what I found inside the members area.

First off, when entering any major network or "megasite" it's typical to be greeted with a page full of fancy menus and a whole host of the latest and greatest navigational gadgets. So, I was a bit taken aback to find a very clean, well organized — and, perhaps more importantly, completely ad-free — members' area. There are only two menus. The first sticks to the bare necessities(updates, models, sites, etc) while the other focuses more on user-specific options, such as adding "friends," favorites, and, perhaps most useful, custom niche tags. Now, you may be thinking that a minimalistic design isn't ideal for a major network, and you're probably right. But don't worry. They've also included a rather advanced search engine which lets you narrow results using keywords, site names, and just under 110 descriptive tags that run the gamut of niches and model preferences.

I think it's worth noting that they've put together a nice model index, too, which currently houses, by my count, 435 lovely ladies. These babes range from barely legal to the more seasoned MILF types, and there's a wide range of ethnicities and builds in there as well, so you're fairly certain to find at least a few that'll get your dick properly hard. By that token, it also doesn't really matter if you're into amateurs or stars, as it seems they've stocked the stable with plenty of both. But if you are into pussy of the famous variety, you'll be pleased to know that I spied some real big names — Jules Jordan, Aleska Diamond and Aj Applegate, just to name a few.

They kept with the "something for everyone" when it came to their content, too, spreading it up amongst a wide range of sites. Actually, if you look under the "sites" section in the main menu, you'll find 13 different sites, ranging from hardcore but more elegant joints like Nubiles Porn, to deliciously seedy dives like Gloryhole Swallow and Fucked Hard GFs. They've also got the amateur and casting couch angles covered with sites like Girls Do Porn and Amateur Allure, while the more professional content can be found at the official site of none other than Jules Jordan herself. All in all, quite the well rounded collection.

Just like the navigation, the options for watching and downloading videos was kept on the simple side. You're given the choice of streaming the video on site(in a good-looking MPEG-4, HD format via a fairly basic embedded player) or download it in its entirety in your choice of HD(720p or 1080p, depending on the site) or "streaming quality." They were also nice enough to break each scene down into a series of 4-6 minute clips for those of you who either don't want to bother with full episodes or simply have bandwidth concerns. One nice thing about the latter feature is that they include a thumbnail for each clip, so if you only want to see one particular part of the movie, it shouldn't be too difficult to find it.

Oh, and I also feel like it's worth pointing out that downloads were extremely fast, often topping out at just under 3 megs-per-second. The slowest I saw them get(this was on the weekend during peak hours) was 1.8 megs-per-second. The same goes for streaming video, too. I didn't experience any buffering issues, even when rapidly moving back and forth in a scene.

Each episode seems to come with its own photo gallery counterpart as well. Just like the videos, the photo resolution seems to remain fairly consistent from episode-to-episode and site-to-site. The standard at the moment seems to be clear and crisp JPEGs with a pixel width of 1024. They don't skimp on the number of images in each gallery, either. There's usually at least 150 to choose from. But if you don't feel like picking and choosing, you can just download the full gallery in its entirety compressed in a ZIP file.

To be honest, there's really not much that's "wrong" with this site. My only real complaint would be that the model index, while large and well stocked with gorgeous women, could use a little work when it comes to the information department. Many of the pages are relatively bare aside from content links. But I'm personally holding out hope that the index is still under construction, and that in time we'll be up to our knees in bios and vital statistics.

If I really wanted to nitpick I could point out that there's no fancy slideshow for the photos nor is there a mobile option for the videos. But while those things are important(particularly the mobile files these days) I don't think either is enough of a hurdle to scare most potential customers away. Overall, this is a very strong and impressive collection.
