The Sweet Network is a network of 12 websites which encompass a variety of hardcore niches like deep throat, fisting, pissing, extreme insertions, S&M, anal, cumshots, and more. They promise "raw amateurs performing extreme sexual stunts", and boy do they deliver! With sites like Miss Pain, Fisting Lessons, SadoSlaves, and The Dirty Old Man, Sweet Network members can expect to get a fair amount of hardcore and fetish content for 1 monthly price ($34.95). Checking out the sites, I'd say we're in for one unenthusiastic review, sorry guys.
Let’s start with design; for all 12 of the sites, there appears to be 2 main site designs going on. The first appears to be the more simpler of the two and breaks down the content into specific areas: news & updates, photos & videos, exclusives, store, bonus sites, etc. If you ask me, though, the link for each section takes you to the exact same place, which is where the content is. That's fine and all, but I can't say I'm impressed. The second type of site design appears to be a little more professional but the content is organized in much the same way. Updates on any one site are fairly sporadic but one would think that between the 12 sites, obtaining new material shouldn't be a problem. The real question, however, is do you even want to see the content that they've got going on here?
The girls of the Sweet Network are definite amateurs with a good mix of your "girl next door" babes as well as some pretty homely hunnies. I'm sure it's not easy finding some real lookers to do a lot of the stuff that they've got going on here! Fisting, peeing, S&M, dress-up, bizarre insertions, anal, cum baths, etc. While the content is surely entertaining for those of you true smut lovers out there, the quality of it is another thing. When image thumbs work, since some didn't (the sites Dirty Old Man & Fisting Lessons, for example), the size and quality of them falls below average. A good amount of the pics here are simply screen caps from the videos as is, but even the sites that had "still pics" didn't impress me with quality. The average size of images here is in the 600x400 pixel range, with the "still" images displaying crisp, clear images and the video caps being slightly blurred and pixilated.
Since it appears as though the main substance to the content here falls on the video footage, I had slightly higher expectations for them. Videos are offered in streaming [high (200-300k) & low (40k) formats] and download formats for both Windows Media and QuickTime. The video streams play embedded in your browser window and are only average at best (320x240). If you download the videos to your computer, the quality isn't any better really, though it does give you the option to play them in their respective media players and view them at double size. If you haven't ever seen some chick take a piss load into her ass and then blow bubbles through a straw, then you're in luck. Although the Sweet Networks hasn't come anywhere near meeting my high hopes for quality porn, they do offer some of the most bizarre fetish and hardcore amateur content that I've seen on the Internet. I had some problems accessing content on a few of the sites and wasn't overall impressed with the quality or design of any of the 12 Sweet Network websites. I was, however, grotesquely impressed with the uniqueness of the content, as well as with the level of hardcore entertainment to be found. All in all, I still think $34.95 is too much for this network and a fair amount of improvements would have to be made in order for me to argue otherwise.

Review: 03-05-06 |
Can't even get past the first page without seeing a chick with her fist up her ass - I like this Network! For all you hardcore, thrill-seeking perverts out there, this one's for you ;) It's been a long while since we've last looked at the Sweet Network and I'm happy to report that there's been some major growth in that time. First, there are now 17+ sites included with your membership here, up from the 12+ we looked at last time, and between the sites you can expect daily updates as well as new, fresh and original hardcore content sites like watersports, spanking, "bukkakepee" (cum and pee squirts all at the same time? Wowza!), interracial, and even a It's Just Chocolate site that features girls taking enema squirts of chocolate (I think I'll be staying away from the Godiva for a while). I'd still like to see better quality videos here as well as full-length downloads for them but overall it's nice to see some growth to the Network itself as well as the sites it contains.
Score increased from 71.1 to 75.0.
