ClubSeventeen.com is an extension of the Seventeen Video group offering a mish-mash of fresh teen content and access to many extras like live chat, stories, and more. There's so much going on here that I found the member's area to be confusing, but there definitely is a lot of content to check out and updates are coming in daily it seems. I can't say much about the exclusivity of everything, because to be honest, I haven't even a clue where to start, but a membership will cost you close to $30 bucks per month.
The Good:
- There's clearly a nice-sized archive of image content to check out, all built around the teen theme but ranging from teen anal to chubby teens, Asian teens, teenage masturbation, amateur, lesbian and more. Updates appear to be coming in daily.
- Video quality can be quite nice, with bitrates as high as 2000k.
- There does appear to be some sort of model listing (by name without a preview image), but clicking on a girl's name does give some bio information, which is nice.
The Bad:
- Getting around the Club Seventeen member's area is frightening, not to mention even trying to figure out what's what and where to begin. I found myself confused and frustrated for most of this review. There's no consistency throughout the site - no continuity whatsoever. In fact, it's really hard to believe that this is just one main site as it feels like there are countless subsites throughout.
- Image quality is not the greatest and a lot of the content here looks dated. I assume it's exclusive, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Instead this just feels like one big mish-mash of teen content and no real fluid thought to the presentation of it. The video quality looked okay, but they are download only and broken down into too many clips without the option for a full-length download.
- Almost $30 bucks a month is a lot to ask from a site with lack-luster quality content and design. I'm not convinced this archive of teeny material is worth it.
The Conclusion:
Club Seventeen is an interesting and intricate site that just didn't do it for me. There was no real consistency in design and the content, while teen orientated, just felt overall too generic. Not to mention the image size and quality was seriously lacking. The videos were a bit of a different story, but without more download options and the ease to even find them, I just ended up confused and frustrated. Granted there is a lot to look at, and updates do appear to be coming in daily, but I think a total overhaul in design and better quality images would really do wonders for the potential enjoyment value of the site.

Review: 07-06-08 |
It's been just over a year and Club Seventeen's pretty pink pages are still being updated daily, twice daily in fact, bringing the grand total up to 650,000+ pics and hundreds of videos on its sister site that you also gain access to with your membership. The overall design is looking better to me this time around too, although I'm not exactly sure what all has changed; things just feel more consistent overall. Image quality has also been very nice lately, with 2 size formats to choose from (up to 2000 pixels). Unfortunately they're still lacking model & content information, but everything else is looking great! The most unfortunate setback at this point is going to be the high price tag. Since Club Seventeen is a European site, the exchange for US customers comes out to more than $45 bucks per month. That's just way too much to spend, even for hot teen porn. What sucks is that I really did enjoy my visit this time around, but I just can't justify the cost of admission. Offering a specially reduced price for TBP users might just be the trick to making this monster of a teensite a must-join.
Score increased from 69.5 to 81.5.
