Digital Desire Review by Spencer Digital Desire

Review by Spencer

Released Apr 20, '10 , Written Apr 14, '10
Intro

Digital Desire is up for review today, and long-time porn surfers should have no question as to what this site is all about. It's the official site of glamour photographer J. Stephen Hicks, plus a few of his helpers these days. We've looked at the site several times, and much has remained the same over the years. He has photographed for Playboy many a time, and that style of content is a great example of what you'll see here. He does have a hardcore section that he launched a few years ago, with similar high-end content. Expect to see a lot of content, and a lot of hot babes. Normal membership is in the $33 a month range, but he's setup a great discount so you can get in for just $18 a month if you join through our site.


The Pros

  Huge collection.

I'm not even sure how long J.S. Hicks has been shooting in total, but it's a long time for sure. This is only his web collection, and even this has a ton to see. We peg them at almost 220,000 photos, and almost 900 videos as well. That's a lot of content to get through, and a lot of hot girls getting naked.

  Photos look awesome.

J.S. Hicks is photographer, first and foremost. Because of that, the photos here look better than the videos do in my opinion. They go up to 3000x2000 (why not bigger I wonder?), and they look fantastic of course. Everything from the lighting, to the girls, to the makeup is done to the 9's, and it really shows.

  Updates come daily.

They add a new photo set five days a week, and a new video twice a week. Something new is put up every single day, which I'm sure is how the collection got to be as large as it is. I hope it continues going forward.

Other Good Stuff:

  • Videos come in a huge variety of formats here. There are downloadable WMV, DivX, Quicktime, iPod, and Flash videos, plus a streaming Flash option as well. Nice!
  • Everything here is all-exclusive of course, as they work with a very small group of photographers that shoots everything.
  • The discount they've offered brings the price down nicely. The usual price is up over $30 a month, and the discount price is under $20, which is a nice drop.

The Cons

  Site is too cluttered and confusing.

As always, all the different sections here make life too confusing at Digital Desire. There are dreamgirls and creamgirls, dream sessions and dream flicks. What the hell is the difference between all of those? There are differences, and some are explained, but it just makes for a cluttered site. I'd love a more centralized area that lists all photos and all videos in their own place to just see what's new exactly. Plus, a really nice advanced search feature would help a ton as well.

Minor Negatives:

  • They don't give any info on the models or scenes here, which makes the site lose some personality points for me. I'm sure they've met all these girls, and it'd be nice to have some background info.
  • The videos here look pretty good, but for the quality you see in the photos, they could do more in their HD videos. Bump those up even higher so we don't see any compression problems.
  • Of course, the same goes for the older content, which gets a little lower in quality. There will be no HD videos as you go back into the archive, and the photos make their way down to 1600x1067 or so.

Bottom Line

High-quality photos, high-quality babes, and the same few issues we always see.

Digital Desire is exactly what I was expecting, so there were no real big surprises today. I do like the $18 price tag, which gets you in under what a lot of sites charge. The babes are as hot as ever; the photos are as hot as ever; and the site is as confusing as ever. There are just so many different sections, and I have no idea the difference between them for the most part. I'd love to see an over-arching search feature, or just some way to browse only the latest material, from whatever section it may be. Also, while the HD videos look decent, I think the quality could be bumped even higher on those considering how good the photos look. Otherwise, there's a ton of content, daily updates, very high quality, and some interesting content to be found here, all at a great price. It's an easy join if you're a fan of the genre, or the man himself.
