This site touts real amateur couples showing off their expertise at hard and fast action.
Our Price:
$29.99
(recurring)Torbe Couples brings users a look into the lives of "ordinary couples looking for their 15 minutes of fame". As in online adult entertainment fame? Let's roll with it...currently there are about 54 different couples to check out in photo/video episodes, with new updates are being added somewhat inconsistently at this point. However, once inside, your password gives access to the complete Torbe Network members area, which offers 30-something different sites for $29.99 per month. So even though there isn't a whole lot to see here still, the Network as a whole should give users plenty of entertainment in between updates.
Exclusive amateur content from real couples enjoying intimate moments with each other in front of the cameras. The current 54 photo/video episodes offer an exclusive look into the lives of every day couples, and their sex life. Episodes run about 20-30 minutes in length and begin with a quick interview before getting down and dirty. I actually really enjoyed watching the couples in these films, even the ones I didn't think I'd find myself attracted to had something interesting and exciting to offer.
Plenty of download options. Full-length streams are offered in Flash Full-length & downloads are offered in QuickTime, iPod, WMV (newest) and WMV formats. Smaller MPG clips can also be viewed and each scene comes with a set of screen caps.
Network access gives users an additional 30 or so sites, some with unique themes like Josito's Will, a site about a handicapped dude, and others that simply cover the basic niches like Latina, bukkake, anal, etc.
Some good scene and file info. You get the date, a description, and file sizes for all the video options.
At the time of this review the most recent update was about 4 months ago. For the whole year of 2011, only 8 updates were added. That's averaging less than one per month. I know finding young couples willing to have sex on film must be hard to come by these days, but more updates are a key component to a paysite.
Yes they've got 3000k bitrates and 1280x720 viewing, but for some of these videos, they are a few of the lowest quality HD videos I've ever seen. That's not to say they're necessarily bad, but I have a hard time giving them the HD quality thumbs up due to the amount of compression artifacts noticeable in the picture quality.
The member's area is really cluttered! They've got links to their own other network sites, along with banners for bonus content. It really is too much on each page. Upon entrance, you're actually taken to the main Network page, and then must navigate yourself to the Torbe Couples page.
No real model index or bios. Information like age, basic body stats and other interesting tidbits are missing from this site. You're not able to browse by model type or sex act.
As I've seen more and more of these Torbe Network sites over time, I've gotten more and more into them for their unique content, but for that alone. It's real, and the sex as good as any, if not better for that exact reason. Even at this point it's easy to enjoy the quality of the videos and simplicity in viewing them. As the site barely continues to grow I'd imagine some sort of model index, categories/tags, etc is out of the question. For this site alone, I can't say there's enough value in it for almost $30 bucks per month, but when you think about the Network as a whole, then it gets easier to justify the costs.
