Review:

The tricky thing about reviewing these voyeurism sites, as we pointed out in our review of Street Blowjobs, is that they all look like shit . . . but they're supposed to look like shit. This is because they want you to feel like you're really eavesdropping on some semi-public sex, spying on things you shouldn't be. In order to create the proper atmosphere they give you this grainy, poorly lit video that's supposed to be "realistic". Of course none of it is real (do any of you still believe that "all real" line?), but because it looks so crappy you just might believe it's real long enough to get off.

It didn't work for us. There may be something real in here, but we found it hard to believe that people fucking in the dark wouldn't notice a spotlight being trained on them. Though they've certainly tried hard to make it look "real". Get a load of this:

We don't want to belabor the point, but there you have it. Now, assuming you know what you're getting into (and these pics all come from the site tour, so it's not like they're concealing the quality issue), and that you don't mind spending $30 a month for video that looks like this, we'll move on to other things.

An earlier (and for some reason more expensive) version of this site was introduced by a chick called Nikita, who was apparently shooting all the video. Nikita seems to have disappeared, but from the name (and stuff like "handjob in the nature" and "It was raining night and so recording is low quality", not to mention the spelling of "Magazin"), we take it this is an Eastern European site. And most of the porn coming out of Eastern Europe, let's be honest, is not exactly setting new standards of excellence.

Site design is really basic. Every week there is a new episode added. These come stamped with a graphic that says "Hunted", which seems to have been lifted straight off of MILF Hunter. Along with the weekly update there are a bunch of extra or bonus updates. Unfortunately there are no thumbnails provided for these, so you have to choose from a list of items like "window snooping", "car sex", "intimacies behind the curtain", and "in the shower". There are no pic galleries.

There were only 19 of the weekly episodes up when we visited, all under 10 minutes long. And yet only the most recent updates can be downloaded as full videos. The rest are split into short clips. This doesn't make any sense since none of these are large files (the clips run around 7 megs each). The format is .mpg, with a 320x240 screen size. We couldn't get a read on what the bit rate was, but . . . what difference does it make? Even if the video here was 640x480 and 2000 kb/s it wouldn't look any better.

Is any of it exclusive? Really hard to tell with this niche. The site tour only promises "a lot of 100% original videos", which could mean damn near anything. But really, with such generic, anonymous material, what difference does it make? Most of the time you don't see anyone's face. Some of the time you can't even tell what body part you're looking at.

As you may have guessed, this wasn't really our thing. But even if it was we weren't impressed by the video quality, the amount of stuff they had, or the presentation. Especially given the relatively high price. Unless you're addicted to this action we suggest you keep driving.
