It's been a while since we've seen a new Network of sites. In this case it's hard to say just how long the Skin VIP Network has been around but I can tell you that it offers memberships to a number of sites that have been around for quite some time, including Tonys Casting Couch which offers over 300+ video shoots and their flagship site Angels of Porn. The total number of sites that you get access to with your $24.95 monthly membership is currently at 14+, covering a variety of niches like blowjobs, handjobs, shemales, anal,, ATM, ethnic and more. The member’s area takes a strong resemblance to the tour except now you don't have to deal with all that flashing text, phew! The largest site within this Network just might be the Angels of Porn site with content dating back to December of 2002. Another large one is BJ POV which has content dating back to May of 2004. They do offer a few smaller sites as well: Border Bombshells and Feet Stroke only have 8+ episodes to offer so far. Overall this looks to be one well-rounded Network with a variety of different sites, so let's go over the specifics.
The Good:
- One central member's area makes picking a site easy enough and you will also find links to all of the sites within each of the different member's areas. However, only 9 of the 14+ sites are listed and I wish they would make it easier to get back to this central member's area page from each of the different sites.
- Some of the newer sites offer great quality content with streams as high as 1000k - 1500k. In fact, I'd say most of the sites do.
- Overall there is a large variety of exclusive, hardcore amateur video content worth checking out. The girls range from super hot to your standard amateur stripper-looking type but you really do get a wide range of content here. My favorites were Nikki Blond and Butt Bangin, as well as some of the other sites offering hardcore, good quality streams.
- Full-length video downloads are offered in high & low formats (WMV & MPEG). Videos can also be downloaded as a series of clips and many of the sites offer a great deal of content.
The Bad:
- Not all sites offer date stamps for their content and there is no one main updates lists that lets you know when & what has & will be updated next. And from what I can tell, not all sites are being updated regularly enough, although this isn't too uncommon for a Network.
- Some of these sites are very large & it would be nice if they made browsing a bit easier by offering model indexes, search features, etc. Likewise, a few of these sites are very small and it's not always clear when you'll see something new added.
- Some sites don't offer streaming video.
The Conclusion:
So it looks like the main gripes about this Network of sites are about navigation and being consistent. All sites should offer date stamps and the central members area should be easily accessible from all sites, should offer a main updates page, and it goes without saying that all 14+ Skin VIP sites should be listed. I like the full-length streams/downloads but would like to see all sites offer the consistent 1500k quality streams/downloads. $24.95 per month isn't a whole lot to ask for buttloads of exclusive video content but there are definitely areas that need attention with this one.
