Over time as we've gotten feedback from users, it's pretty clear there's a large market for reality sites. More specifically, people love the reality networks that give you access to several sites under one membership. So, why not further the cause by reviewing all of these networks we can find! Today's site is called Reality Porn Pass. We haven't reviewed any of the specific sites in their network yet, so this will be a good first look.
Let's start with the basics. First, the price. Yikes!! You're looking at a $40 monthly price tag if you wanna be a member here. That's an awful start. For now, they have 10 sites in the network covering all the reality site basics: MILF, teen, interracial, college babes, threesomes, cumshots, gangbangs, and big cocks. The only things missing are a tranny site, and a site where they "trick" people into having sex. Didn't they read "Reality Networks for Dummies?"
The main content of the network is obviously the sites you get to check out. The tours of these sites look really nice with fancy graphics, but once you're inside they use the same member's area design for each site (save for a logo) which is a little crappy. Checking out the sites real quick, most of them are on the small side with about 15 scenes per site being the average. There's also no dates on their galleries, so you have no idea how often they are updating. The "What's New" link I clicked was no help at all.
Each scene they have offers photos and videos, although the photos are just screen caps. They only put nine images on a page, and make you click "next" or "previous" to get around, so looking through the image galleries is almost useless.
Videos are only offered in one format: a downloadable (or streaming) Windows Media Video. The actual specs on the video vary from site to site for some reason. A few examples I checked out are 320x240 at 460kbps, 352x240 at 225kbps, 320x240 at 350kbps, and 320x240 at 500kbps. The quality obviously differs a bit on each one, with the numbers pretty much explaining what you'll see. They range from average to good-looking videos for the most part, and are about what I expected to see on sites like this. I was missing the options for other quality settings, and a full-video download would have been nice as well. I was also surprised that they gave you very little info on each scene. At best you get a thumbnail and a few sentences of a description, while some sites just give you the thumb and a few words.
They have a whole separate section of content along the left of each member's only site. Most of it is third-party plugins and stuff, where you can find feeds and shows. There's also a photo section that they host themselves in various niches.
Overall, I get the feeling they're just going through the motions. They have what they're supposed to have here, without much effort from what it looks like. $40 is just ridiculous these days for a membership fee, and I doubt I'd pay it for very long here. The actual video content is decent reality stuff, but pretty much everything else is just sub-par here. I'd like to see some personality on each site, actual photos available, more video download options, a cheaper price, and a posted update schedule before I'd recommend this one.

What's that one scientist dude say about an equal and opposite reaction? Well, there's some good news and some bad news here. First, the ridiculous price tag of $40 a month was brought down by us here at The Best Porn to $15 a month for anyone coming from our site. Now don't ever tell us we never do anything for you! That's an awesome price, and gets you access to all their episodes which is even better.
Now for that opposite reaction or something... first, updates have been kinda sucking. Though there aren't any dates posted, we here keep track of their content counts and can see that some sites are just on a very slow update schedule. On top of this, for some reason all their videos are streaming only now (no downloads). Yikes!
While the price helps, the opposites do not. Still a good join for some porn, but I wish we could have broken the law here and kept everything on the positive side of life.
Score decreased from 77.8 to 77.2.

It's been a little while since we looked at the network as a whole, though I've been checking out individual sites here and there over the last few months. Much is the same around here it seems. There are a few more sites in the network, but the old standbys look pretty stale without much growth. Some of them only allow for in-browser videos which really isn't too fun (while others have a link to let you download them). $15 is the price now thankfully so that definitely helps. But overall we need some growth, some higher quality, more download options, regular updates, etc. to keep the fun alive here.
Score decreased from 77.2 to 72.5.
