It used to be that a generic shemale site was niche enough for most people, but know we have micro-niche sites coming out that make those original sites look like normal porn. Females on Shemales is obviously all about a shemale fucking a chick, which isn't a bad niche I'd guess. Usually you see dudes or other shemales together, so it's something new. It's a pretty small site for now, but at least the content is all exclusive. $28.32 gets you in the door, and what a weird price point that is.
The goods:
- Unique, exclusive content. It's definitely the reason to join the site, just because their content is pretty unique. Add in the fact that it's exclusive material, and you've got yourself a winner. We just need more content!
- Network access included. Even though they're not really in the same niche, there is some extra porn to check out there if you're bored in between updates here.
The bads:
- Small collection. They only have 15 scenes online currently, and no real updates in the past week and a half. They badly need some growth to really gain in popularity I think. Imagine how nice a large collection of niche material like this would be.
- Videos play in-browser only. It's too bad that they limit you like this, but it's another thing holding the site back a bit. Offering downloads is pretty standard these days, but that's not the case here I guess.
- Updates are a bit erratic. Sometimes they'll add something new every five days or so, and other times they've skipped a month or more at a time. Currently they haven't updated in about a week and a half, and I'm not real sure when the next one will come.
- Quality could be better. They only go up to about 750-800kbps unfortunately, and they don't even look that great when played in the small browser window. I'd say the average these days is closer to 640x480 and 1500kbps or so, with some sites going even higher.
Conclusion:
I like the idea of the site here and think they could do well, but they need to keep moving forward to get there. They just don't have enough content right now, the updates are too inconsistent, and the videos need work in terms of quality and downloads of course. All those things add up for me, and I don't think I can quite recommend the site for now. I like the niche, and would love to see them do better with a few key changes down the road.

It looks like Females on Shemales has taken a few steps in the right direction here since our last visit. Newer videos are now downloadable, and look a little better than before. The site is larger as well, though updates still arne't coming in very regularly, and could use a boost. The content is still pretty unique, and is the main selling point for the site, but I would love to see things get more consistent overall still. The updates have to pick up to really get this site going in my opinion.
Score increased from 71.0 to 76.0.
