BoyGirlBang.com is an equal opportunity reality website with, for the first time I've seen, a woman at the helm. Here we meet Phoebe who is a camera girl/webmistress with an attitude. She never steps in front of the camera, only holds it while encouraging friends and strangers alike to have sex for her site. Of course, she insists it's real and judging from the trailers, this is some of the most realistic video I've seen. She's got an acid tongue, though, and keeps her "stars" in their place. The design is friendly and easy to navigate.
There are currently 34 episodes available. Of course, all of the content on the site is exclusive. Each episode comes with about an hour of video footage and anywhere from 200-2300 pictures. Typical of reality sites, the pictures are really just screen caps, so the quality isn't great. They're definitely better than most, though, at 720x480. Anyhow, the meat of this site is the videos. You can either download the entire movie in one long clip, download it in several short clips or stream it. If you choose to stream you have a low and a high bandwidth option. The quality is quite good. The video was clear and the audio was easily understandable. The biggest negative here is the scantiness of the videos. 34 episodes really isn't a lot. I imagine one could go through those pretty quickly.
What makes this site unique from the other million reality sites is that this one is hosted by a woman and it involves picking up both guys and girls off the street. Sometimes they trick the people, sometimes they bribe them, sometimes the people seem to have IQs of 60 and they're just doing it for the heck of it. Phoebe sometimes gets pretty insulting with these guys. She told one large fellow "If only your cock was as big as you are!" It's actually pretty entertaining. Although the authenticity of any reality site is always questionable at best, this one pulls it off pretty well. I think the reason it seems more real is that they actually show them being rejected by people in the clips. Also, the people seem to have no clue what it going on. Either these people are really clueless or they deserve Emmys for their performances. That said, there is a whole lot of talking going on during the videos and a certain playful mockery at times. While the site is definitely entertaining, I'm not sure if someone could truly get off to the videos. But that might just be the musings of an overly cynical critic.
The one serious problem with the site is the "delayed video access system" (these are my words) they have in place. As it stands, new members to the site get access to 10 episodes to start off with. Every three days you get access to 1 new episode. Evidently, this database is contructed as it is to save bandwidth costs. To me it seems kinda like a video game that you have to unlock certain rounds and features. You spend the whole time just trying to get what you have already paid for but still don't have access to. Unfortunently, I think this could serve to deter a lot of people from joining.
BoyGirlBang.com is a really fun site that I definitely enjoyed. I was laughing out loud at several of the clips. Very entertaining. The quality of videos and the volume of the pictures are impressive. However, the volume of videos could use some improvement (and the delayed access sytem only accentuates the low volume). Updates are twice a week so hopefully the site will grow quickly. A larger collection would make this site awesome. For now, I'd still recommend checking this site out for a month. It's fun and pretty different. Whether it's worth a laugh or a stroke is for you to decide.

Review: 12-31-69 |
With three years since our last look at the site, Boy Girl Bang was long overdue for a follow-up review. Three years is a long time and one might have high expectations for growth and improvement. One would be disappointed. The site has grown, but only by three episodes. Three episodes in three years. Ouch. The videos still play at just 350k which just doesn't cut it nowadays. The only redeeming quality is the network access. $30 a month is much too high for a small site that doesn't update. The movies are still very entertaining but the site is a big disappointment.
Score decreased from 82.7 to 70.5.
