Top Shelf Porn is a collection of niched sites serving up a wide variety of scenes to cater for just about anybodies porno needs. The selection of niches is a well rounded variety of popular mainstream categories, so fetish lovers kind of miss out on this one. Either way the porn is hardcore and non-stop, exactly the way we love it.
Network sites like these tend to do pretty well for niche lovers as there's always a nice selection to choose from, which is the same case with this one. All the porn provided within the sites are hardcore, leaning more towards mainstream categories rather than fetishes, and reality themes.
The following are the various niches covered by the 10 sites. Creampies, young adults, sex parties, Asian models, anal sex, and general hardcore. Unfortunately it looks as though two of the sites Mean Girls and Young Adult Dirtbags don't seem to be available just yet, either that or they're under going renovations, there's no solid information on why it's down though, so I can't give you a definite answer.
Between the 10 sites there are 39 episodes to enjoy, with average run times of 24 minutes, this may not seem like much so it's a good thing they're exclusive. Overall the quality of the videos are mediocre at best, they won't make your eyes bleed, but I there's definately room for improvement. There are three sites which provide high quality videos, Dream Girl, Creampie Slappers and Pussy Parties. They aren't super good, but they're noticeably better compared to what the other sites have on offer.
All the videos are available in mp4 format meaning you can enjoy viewing the videos on your iPod or any other portable devices which support the format. The episodes are only available in full scenes which can get up to 800MBs in files size, so the site's aren't very dial-up friendly. I would have liked to see the scenes in a variety of formats and in shorter scenes to make downloading a little more bearable for people on slow connections.
I was expecting a lot more from this site, and the fact that two of them aren't working let me down even more. For only $15 the sites are somewhat acceptable, any higher and I wouldn't have even bothered. I couldn't get my hands on any solid information as far as updates, and what's the go with the 2 non-working sites, though I highly doubt they're going to stop with only 39 videos, well at least I'm hoping they won't.
Now what this collection of sites does excel in, is being easy to navigate. After you've logged in through the tour pages you'll be taken straight to what is pretty much a portal page for the 10 sites. Each site is represented by a banner and a short description, clicking on these links will take you straight to that site's main content area.
The content areas of all the sites are practically identical, except of course for the top banner. Each of the episodes takes up a small portion on the content pages, which consists of 5 thumbnailed screen captures and of course the download link. A single click on the download link will automatically start your download, easy as that.
You'll be glad to know that these site's aren't the only ones you have full access to. On signing up you are given full access to 4 other sites at no extra cost. These include Omar's Club and casting couch, Pumpkin Porn, and Mobi Muff. I've personally reviewed these other sites myself and I've gotta say they're well worth a look at. I'd even go as far as saying that they're better than this site.
So it looks as though your $15 doesn't go to waste after all. Although this network of sites might not be spectacular, the bonus sites behind it definately are, so you can sleep easy at night knowing that you've spent your $15 wisely. Here's hoping that they keep improving on these 10 sites as it's definately needed, but by the looks of things they haven't quite finished yet, so we'll probably be in for a treat in the near future.
The site's on Top Shelf Porn do have potential, but they aren't quite reaching it yet. They offer steamy exclusive hardcore scenes, just a little more extra care in quality and quantity is needed to get these sites up to gear. I admit I did feel a little let down, as 39 episodes isn't exactly huge for 10 sites, but I have a feeling we'll see that number rise. Until then members have 4 awesome bonus sites to indulge in, which will keep them entertained for quite a while.
