Adult Video Planet (AVP) is a somewhat new Network of video sites that sells itself as being "the most comprehensive & all inclusive adult video network on the planet" for a mere $29.99 per month. On the planet? So far there are only around 100 participating sites, though, collectively they constitute to about 1,300+ videos. You'll find the norm of category niches here like: amateur, anal, Asian, big cock, gangbang, gay, hardcore, interracial, lesbian, mature. pornstar, teen, etc. Being so new, the site design is nice, simple, and clean, but doesn't offer anything special when it comes to search features, top visited sites, favorites, visited, etc. and I can see how this might become a problem as the Network continues to grow with sites.
There are, however, a couple nice things about this Network, like the fact that you don't have to re-enter your password each time you visit a new site. Also, each site is set up somewhat similarly with all videos offering a good range of connection speed, quality & download options. While the browsing options and design of each site is nothing spectacular, the fact that you can stream/download each and every video (WMV) as a series of clips or in full in many different connection speed options (56k, 150k, 340k, 768k), makes for a more pleasurable experience overall. One thing I noticed was that most of the sites here don't have many more than 12 videos to look at, which I think is the bare minimum as it is. Apparently webmasters add sites to AVP using the Networks own content and they are required to use at least 12 videos, or something to that effect, which means you might run across a few repeats between the sites and very few of the sites off many more than the minimum. Though, there still are the few that do have as many as 20-25 videos as well as some photo galleries which accompany the videos, but they are normally just screen caps and the quality of them is questionable. I have to admit, though, that the consistency here is refreshing.
There are a lot of good fuck scenes to be found no matter what your craving is for, a lot of very sexy babes taking it like pros. The videos are provocative, wasting very little time before getting down and dirty. I actually found myself spending a little more time enjoying them than I had first planned on. If you like watching hot and horny, sexual provoking porn and have a wide variety of desires when it comes to what you like to see, then joining a Network of sites such as this just may prove to be beneficial to you. Honestly, $29.99 is a little bit more than a few other video sites that I can think of, with smaller amounts of content as well, but the idea behind this is to be more of a network of many sites, each offering something different, making this a grey area sort of site. As in, AVP falls somewhere between an AVS and a Network. At least the quality of videos is a lot more than you can expect from many video sites out there and everything is kept consistent. Some more advanced browsing features would be a nice addition, making it easier for members to search for more specifics when it comes to the action and since there is no clear update schedule, I don't honestly know how often new sites or videos are added and a lot of the categories only have 1-5 sites in them so far, so it'll be interesting to see how this Network takes off. I definitely feel that this is a good site as far as video Networks go, but I'd still like to see improvements which would not only make it worth the price of admission, but also worth sticking around.

Review: 08-11-06 |
Adult Video Planet was still a small collection of sites by AVS standards and it looks like they've had some major growth since we've been here last. Up from only 100+ sites, your $30/month membership now gives you access to another 73+ sites, but they best part is that the total amount of content has doubled (2,600+ videos). 800k is still respectable when you're talking about a whole AVS's worth of videos, but with the sup high-quality direction that the Internet paysites are taking these days, AVP is going to have to step it up a notch if they want to move forward with the industry. Also, navigational features are still minimal, so I'd like to see some improvements there, too. At least now the price of admission doesn't seem so high considering the amount of sites/videos that are offered.
Score decreased from 80.0 to 79.5.
