Hustler introduces Barely Legal, "The #1 Online Magazine & Barely Legal Megasite". One might already be somewhat familiar with this site since a lot of Internet sites offer it as a free bonus site, which is why I'm going into this a little skeptical. They use the term "barely legal', meaning young girls 18+, and It's clear that there's a ton of picture archives to be found here, as well as games, E-zines, and stories, but only a handful of videos. Everything else is leased content or prevails from Hustler's flagship website, Hustler.com, leaving only a percentage of the content here actually featuring young teens. Surprised? I'm not. But for all that you're going to get here; $9.95/month doesn't appear to be all that bad.
The main content of importance here comes from Hustler's online Magazine, Barely Legal (duh), where each month a new issue is featured. Archives of this magazine are made available all the way back to March of 2000 and each magazine comes complete with pictorials, articles, and features. You can expect to see pictorials of 10 new girls each month, mostly softcore, pussy spreads, and the like. Quality of the content has been fairly consistent since the beginning, which is good, with images sizes in the 790x522 pixel range, and you'll notice that a lot of the images look over-contrasted, or something. So this is where you're going to find all your luscious teens, barely legal's, little hotties, whatever you want to call them, but don't expect to find them doing much of anything here except stripping down to their birthday suit and lightly touching themselves. This is the perfect description of cute little teen gone naughty, but not that naughty! Just because the pictorial is called "bracing for butt sex", doesn't mean you're going to find any!
The rest of the online magazine, articles and features, probably won’t excite you all too much, unless you're one who enjoys reading about sex almost as much as you enjoy looking at it. Which, I'm sure, is why they give you access to so many other photo and video content. Unfortunately, I wasn't overall too thrilled with the picture galleries here though. Not as many teens as one would expect for a "barely legal" teen site, I guess they leave all that kind-of stuff to the actual magazine. What you will find here are leased galleries, girl of the day type galleries, Asian persuasion, Latina fever, and other niche-based content galleries. The quality and image sizes ranges way more than I can even describe and even if it is meant to be used just to get you through the rest of the month between updates, I'm not sure it's enough. I'm also sure that's why they offer XXX movie feeds, live cams, as well as a ton other leased content. Overall though, I'd have to say that this is what the majority of the site consists of, and it's not the high quality teeny bopper stuff you might be hoping for. Hell, it's not even Hustler content, it's just fortunate enough to be backed by the name. You'll find feeds here like JennaMaXXX, Private Channels, TeenVision, and lots, lots more.
One of the other more mentionable things about this site is the Hustler XXX Movie Player which plays exclusive Hustler content from over 500 videos taken from Hustler Movies, with maybe a handful of them being from Hustler's Barely Legal series. Videos play in either high or low band formats using one of 3 media players: Windows Media, Real Play, or QuickTime. You'll find more hardcore action in the Barely Legal series here, fortunately, then you did in the image galleries, and each video contains 5 clips, about 20 minutes long each. They play in your browser window and the quality is about average, streaming at up to 382k. I was, however, pleased with the amount of options and features made available here such as a favorites folder to put all your top picks in and a search function that allows you to easily search the entire movie index. Even though the content here is not all teen, this is probably one of the better features about this site, along with the online magazine pictorials. Like I mentioned previously there's a ton of content here, it's just that a lot of it is leased content and most of it doesn't showcase teens. Other things to do here include chat, live sex feeds, stories, games, and more. I have to say, the best thing about this site is the good ol' Hustler price; $9.95/month is almost enough to make any site feel worth it.

It's been over a year since we've last looked at Hustler's Barely Legal and even though I share the same blasé excitement that I did the first time around, I must admit you get access to quite a bit of video content for a super low price. The videos here are DRM protected, however, meaning that the minute your membership here expires so do they but for all you 'Barely Legal' fans out there, $10 bucks a month should be worth sticking around for. I'd still like to see better quality content and maybe a slightly easier to use site design but Hustler content is a real steal at $10 bucks per month.
Score remains at 75.0.

This is our third time back at Barely Legal and things are still coming along here, and you can now expect 2 new DVD's added each week. Unfortunately the price has gone back up again (to almost $35 bucks per month), and I'd really love to see them make some advancement in image sizing and video quality. You can download the videos now, although they are still DRM protected so you must remain a member in order to enjoy. I guess I'm a little disappointed now...
Score increased from 75.0 to 79.5.
