One Man Banned is an exclusive site of British video pornographer, 'One Eyed Jack' and features what they promise to be the largest collection of his work including scenes from his "Naughty Shorties Series", "British Bangers Housecalls Series", "The Lubed Series", "Wife Watchers Confidential", and more. Also promising high quality video, One Man Banned offers over 135+ movie scenes as well as other live feeds, bonus videos and pictures. While you have 2 options for membership here, including a token option as well as a monthly membership option, I think most of us know by now that the token system is usually synonymous with "rip off". The token system comes out to basically $5 bucks per vid or $25 bucks for 20 vids--which is actually might be an okay deal here if you can control yourself to only 20 videos as a monthly membership here will cost you about $35 bucks to start and then drops down to $25 bucks per month.
To start, I'm not impressed with the site design and navigation in the member’s area. I honestly feel that they could do a much better job organizing things here so that the site is a little smoother to browse. Your movie scenes are categorized by series, with 6 scenes per page and each series can have anywhere from 1 to 6 pages of movies. Updates take place once per week on Sundays so to keep members busy between updates, One Man Banned offers bonus movie archives from One Eyed Jack, bonus amateur hardcore picture galleries, and live cam shows from CamZ.com. One of the other main disappointments about this site for me was the lack of download options for the videos. Sure they're high quality downloads/streams (1020k &360x288) which play in you Windows Media Player (capable of full screen viewing), but one better make sure they're connected to the Internet at super high speeds, otherwise these videos will take you eons to download as there are no break downs of the scenes into a series of clips or other options for slower connection speed downloads.
With all that being said, there are some pretty cool things to say about this site as well, mostly about the actual video scenes themselves. If you like hardcore amateur sex and are tired of the shitty quality videos that you find most from this genre, then you'll be pleased with the type of content to be found here. Sure you can browse each series and have some idea of what kind-of videos they contain, but I'd like to see them at least add a search feature so that members can easily locate the type video scenes that might interest them most. Of course you'll find a lot of blowjob scenes and sex scenes but there's also some good girl-girl action to be found here as well as tons of anal, behind the scenes, 3somes and more, with a variety of girls and men being featured. Overall I'd have to admit that the price of admission here is way too steep for this site as is. If you're a big fan of 'One Eyed Jacks' amateur video series then I'd say to go ahead and check this site out, otherwise there are plenty of video sites (Climax Corner, etc.) that offer just as high quality content, if not higher and also feature multiple download options and a much easier to browse site.

While still more expensive than some of its fellow video sites, One Man Banned has, at the very least, made a couple great strides at offering more for their members at a slightly reduced price. Previously a membership here would cost you close to $35 buck initially before dropping down to $25 for recurring members. Instead they've decided to make things a flat $29.99 recurring monthly but there's no longer the push to stick around as you can now download the videos without all of the licensing restrictions; that's fair I guess. Overall I have to admit that I'd still prefer to see a better site design along with more download options for the videos but at least this is a head in the right direction.
Score increased from 79.1 to 79.7.

The once very expensive video site is, well, still rather expensive, but at least now the number of video content is up to 187+ which means that updates are still trickling in at a fairly consistent pace. I'd still like to see more in the way of download/viewing options but at least it looks as though they've done away with the DRM protection for the newer content. I still love the quality here and the entertainment value is also top notch so I'll be adjusting a few of my scores to reflect that.
Score decreased from 79.7 to 77.5.
