I am thinking of subscribing to the Adult Time, and I am kind of confuse with what will be included in the subscription. XEmpire(DarkX,HardX,EroticX)? EvilAngel? 21Sextury(21Natural,21Sextreme)?
Don't take this as the definitive answer because I don't have a current membership at A/T. Unless XEmpire has been added recently I don't recall that they were part of A/T. I did a search of the site and there is no evidence that it is part of the network. A current member should be able to answer that quickly.
The other important thing to note is that with the exception of the Adult Time exclusive series, the channels don't offer everything that the stand-alone sites have. For example, while there is a Girlsway channel it only has a small proportion of what you'd get if you subscribed to Girlsway itself. The upside to this is that A/T is a great way to explore some sites that you might otherwise not join individually.
Finally, be sure to join through an affiliate service unless you are planning to buy an annual membership. If you buy though A/T itself downloads only come with the annual membership. With many affiliates you can get downloads with a monthly membership. But... Adult Time is probably the only site I'd say this about, you may want to seriously consider the annual membership anyway. A/T is HUGE and unless you have very narrow and specific interests there is no way you'll get through it all in a month.
And welcome to the forum. This is a great place to interact with some super-knowledgeable people about all things porn-related.
For a lot of it, rearadmiral is spot on, but for some of it (like Girlsway) to my understanding, the full catalog is there. Stuff like Wicked, Addicted2Girls, Diabolic, HardX, Femjoyetc have only limited selections and limited uploads in the upcoming section.
Here is some highlights of a conversation that I had on here, in private, as someone had asked me about AdultTime and what came with it, and was similarly looking at 21s stuff too. Ideally it will be of helps (this is from a touch over a year ago, tomorrow is the one year rollover date for the site, I'll be keeping it, having taken advantage of the lifetime bundles deals that pop up from time to time, 89 to add given site, one time, then long as you keep the original sub to the qualifying site, like AT or EA, you'll have the bundled one for the life of that sub, real dandy):
Subscribing to any of the following, to my knowledge, will get you full access to their libraries (or effectively, barring niche cases of removal, etc) as well as full access to the rest of Adult Time:
Girlsway Pure Taboo Rocco Siffredi 21 Sextury etc, etc
Here are a couple of the blurbs from a few of those sites:
So yeah, join Adult Time if you want the full catalog and new releases from 21. Join 21 to get the full Adult Time catalog and new releases. Either will serve your purposes.
Cum Gluttons is their first series to launch.As a GG fan, I'm looking forward to them putting out watersports, or as they like to call it, squirt scenes with swallowing. Certainly wouldn't mind if they did stuff that's heavily focused on just kissing like kissmegirl and its sister sites did back in the day.
We shall see how this site turns out, sadly there's quite a few performers we won't get to see on there, because of mindgeek signing so many to exclusive contracts, while adulttime is doing nothing.

Looking forward to this one, while I'm sure others will be put off. Then again there's six more sins.

The next sin is "Proud Pervs"
sounds good but I wonder are we getting going to get stuff like upskirt scenes, pantie theft, time stop, or bus molester scenes. This is weird shit you see in perv scenes in Japan. Or maybe stuff would be better Pure Taboo scenes. Can anybody else think of other stuff they can do?
^ What did you think of it? Did you think it matched up with what they claimed they were going to do? And if so, in what ways? What do you think of the studio itself and it's attempted goals? And do you think at any point in time folks gave feedback asking for more hectic, over the top, frantic, fast paced fucking? In every survey result over the past year folks kept asking for more realistic sounds of sex, more realistic portrayals of chemistry and pleasure emoting than the over the top stuff that's all over. That's been consistent feedback for Adult Time from it's member base. Somehow they took that to mean folks wanted the opposite.
I felt that first episode to be a miss, nothing new and really more of the same sort of tone, tenor and feel as most of the rest of their productions. I left a detailed review in the comment section, but I'll highlight some of the problems with it here, especially in regards to what it's sold as and what it delivered.
- opens with a Pure Taboo-esque theme, heavy and dramatic in tone, even ominous, the score. They say it's most definitely not suppose to feel like Pure Taboo, that being said in the reply section of their blog entries on the brand, yet it surely feels just like it, soon as it opens, with that score.
- In the blog post "49 Facts About Modern Day Sins" they state, that the cast & characters will be ".styled to look like their most luxurious, sophisticated selves". The dude has a pair of boxer briefs on, starting that way, Lola has a t-shirt and panties on. Does this seem like their "most luxurious, sophisticated selves"? Where's the stated "brand's luxurious aesthetic"?
- they wound up doing the most overdone thing in all of porn, following all the rote patterns, within a minute and a half of the scene starting you have a nude male being sucked by a fully clothed female, that lasts for roughly thirteen minutes before glimpse of female nudity. That glimpse is the panties being pulled to the side, top still on, panties just shifted. This continues till the twenty minute mark - lavishing views on the fully nude male body, the woman, Lola, still fully clothed (panties pulled to the side at the 13 minute mark), when Lola gets nude as the male finally, leaving 30 minutes left.
Lola leaves then for Lilly to come in and Lilly? Yup, wearing clothes, that she leaves on as she kisses and worships the nude male, though it winds up being somewhat brief, thankfully, until they, yup, you guessed it, pull her panties to the side.
- the promised ".focused on ambitious sex acts and positions - more so than we've ever attempted before .drawing from the most-requested, most-searched, and most-watched sex acts on our platform" winds up being standard porn positions, the most ambitious being a piledriver early with Lola and the fella, but other than that? They failed to deliver in full, rote positioning with Lola, then side saddle, cowgirl, missionary and we wind up with a cum shot onto Lola pubes, her mons pubis, who comes back in after Lilly leaves (and guess what - Lola is back to being fully clothed and they do a second minutes long fully clothed female sucking off a fully nude male segment). Not even a facial, but a vanilla pop shot on the lower belly.
- the male talent has troubles staying hard, having to jerk himself off every so often to get hard again.
- and lastly, purely rote porno drivel dialog. They give the subtitles along with the film, if you want to download them or need to use them. Check them sometimes, read through them, search around with Control+F. You might be surprised at just how insipid and OTT they are. Let's examine some of it for this scene using that function, in a 50 minute scene:
91 Groan, 114 Moan - most of those are prefaced with "Musa" (he's a chatty one). 103 God - that's 2.06 per minute. 176 Yes - that's 3.52 per minute. 276 Yeah - that's 5.52 per minute. 283 Oh - that's 5.66 per minute. 300 fuck - that's 6 per minute, every ten second on average someone says "fuck". Every tens seconds someone has the need to say "fuck" on average. That's simply inane.

I watched it, I think the directing was the real problem here. Like you said, starting with no backstory or dialogue was a bad idea. Plus, it was a normal BJ scene with them spending a couple of minutes having sex with clothes on and trying to take them off. Also, The major problem is this isn't a Threesome with a somewhat Fauxcest storyline that didn't go that way at all. I actually understand why the guy lost his wood with Lola, he spend most of the time trying to get her clothes off and doing very uncomfortable sex positions. I'm sorry, but this is why I like older women in porn. Lola was trying too hard to "perform" and not just having "sex". Maybe it was the director's idea for the two to do a piledriver ( that made him lose his wood) and spend most of Lola's scene giving head with no oral by him. Lily's sex scene was a lot better with her actually looking like she got off and was trying to. He spend time doing foreplay on her (the fingering was hot) and they did easier sex positions. He keeps his wood during her scenes. Lily is great and Musa is ok. Lola I would need to see more of her but I'll wait until she gets some years behind her to really care

Adult Time's in house productions seem to have a huge aversion to m/f anal sex. I was actually somewhat amused that when finally the new "Sins" project had an anal scene, as the final first round offering, it was a trans scene. Really odd to me that male/(cis)female anal scenes are such a popular thing in porn and yet this company seem to produce so many scenes and 99% of them are either lesbian or vag only (my membership is almost solely for 21 sextury and Rocco sites).

dude, every company does anal. just go there or something Edit: sorry, just annoyed by the "why studio X doesn't do more anal" post. Adult time does enough anal
I understand your point (I am the same poster as the now deactivated AA but just had my wrists slapped for having two accounts, even though they are a decade apart) but Adult Time is not some niche enterprise but a porn mega-site. I am not suggesting their in-house productions need to be a wall to wall anal-fest but I would kind of expect their own output to cover most of the mainstream porn genres of which I would say bg anal scenes is as big a "thing as girl-girl scenes (which Adulttime seem to produce by the truckload). I am not moaning that Viv Thomas doesn't include bg anal, if I was I'd sympathise with your irritation.
Granted my post is purely based on the very short trailers since I'm not a member of AT but production value, lighting, camera work and overall acting seem to be quite good with the new MDS videos. My only question is who is this site for? Unless they are about to basically release most future AT exclusive content under this banner then I'm left wondering why they thought it would be a good idea to have lesbian, b/g, b/b/g gay and ts/ts/b videos on the same site?
MOD: No, no one is allowed to have multiple accounts. It is literally the third sentence in the forum etiquette.So, whining that you are being kept to the rules isn't going to get you far. You already whined in the PM you sent me regarding it. And if you want to get into the details, you created your second account (we'll just ignore the other two accounts we also found of yours for this) a decade before you stopped posting with this account. Now, I would let this go, continuing to whine about being held by the rules is not what you want to be remembered by if you are involved in problems going forward. Any further issues with moderation should be handled by PM.
Adult Time is probably my most visited premium "porn library" subscription site. I think it's best compared to bang.com, its closest competitor in my eyes (although the studios they offer are very different).
I initially joined it (and still subscibe to it) for Vivid.com, because Vivid redirected me to there. Even though Vivid.com still has its own subscriptions, and I have no idea what the difference is, and doubt that Adulttime.com offers more than Vivid.com (though I'm not sure)
My Experience: 1. Missing Titles There are a lot of missing titles from Vivid, despite the availability of over 8,000 videos in the "Vivid" channels I'd name some examples, but nothing comes to mind at the moment. But titles from pre-2000s and early 2000s are noticeably missing, and I remember searching for B. Skow films and Sexually Explicit for example is not there, even though Girlfriend Films is on there.
2. All Vivid films are divided in scenes. (Same for most other studios) There's no page that collects all scenes in a single film. You could only find the scenes by searching by the title like the image above (There's no "The Chauffer's Daughter" page) There are no full-length films either for Vivid (and most other studios as well). Even though there is a "Movies" tab (you could also see it on the left in the image above)
Note: The site's design is the same as evilangel.com and wicked.com, and they both have it figured out much better
3. Tags and categories and even performers inclusion in videos are all terrible and flawed Would you just look at this? Kira isn't in the later pic
4. Download Managers Are Tiring No point in trying JDownloader/2, it's not listed as a host
5. Pro: Some studios are more complete than in other places However. I did find that AdultTime hosts more Rocco films that EvilAngel (after I downloaded all 1800 videos from EvilAngel, I find there's a discrepancy of 300+ videos... and now I have to see what's missing to complete my collection ). Also it has the entirety of 21Sextury (as far as I could see. I've never missed found a missing video). So, it has its pros in being a huge library, with some studios featuring their entire content on there.
But don't get fooled by seeing "Thagson" on there, and then finding out they just have 81 videos Or seeing that they have Harmony Vision/Harmony/Harmony Films, but then seeing that they have 30 scenes, not even films
Here's a preview of the studios with most videos:
6. Downloads No point in using JDownloader/2 (it's not listed as a host, and I couldn't figure out how to download all Vivid videos swiftly) Downloading through IDM is a tedious process, it's very tiring. Of course you're prone to getting having your links expire before your queue is complete. And there is a limit. There's a limit (obviously) to simultaneous downloads, but there's also a cooldown period for consecutive downloads. I haven't pinpointed what it is, but I have faced hiccups in downloads, where I had to wait before continuing. Whether it's me clicking "download" on the site. Or doing it through IDM's button module and queuing downloads (which I limit to 2 simultaneous downloads).
--If you guys got a better way at handling this I'd be thankful, would appreciate tips.--
For Vivid (for me), I'm better off subscibing to Hotmovie.com's 30-day pass. At least I could guarantee 2200~ FULL films.
Downside would be HotMovies doesn't have discounts. But AdultTime does. Which reminds me
7. Payment/Discounts/Prices There are plenty of discounts online. I've never subscribed for the original price ($30), always $7 or $10. However, the caveat is that I have to create a new account every time. Because there's no way (as far as I know) to work around the resubscription fee. If you want to resubscribe, they're going to force you to pay full price.
Also, if you want to pay by giftcards, it's only available when you sign up/first subscription. You can't resubscribe/top-up with it.
I'm probably forgetting things, but that's more or less what I care about
Several of the really old ones are missing scenes too or have bad link pages, which aren't getting fixed. I emailed their support when they first included Vivid, because as a long-time fan of Ginger Lynn, I was happy to see some of her original Vivid titles that had never come to disc there. Some had bad download links for one of the segments and their support said that wouldn't get fixed because the titles were so old not many people cared. As a fan of features, I found it disappointing they were okay with having an incomplete movie.
Oh yeah, broken download links is a problem, and it's quite frustrating, especially when you've come for a specific scene. I've experienced it in all of the websites that had a similar interface (Wicked and Evil Angel come to mind, and there are others that I can't remember). Them having the same interface and the same problem leads me to believe that either they're managed by the same site manager, or some kind of shared firm they've outsourced, or that they just might be under the same umbrella, and their mother company isn't doing a great job managing the sites/networks. My modest research shows me that they don't have any connection to each other, so it might not be the same group of companies. (it's probably off-subject, but I'm a bit interested in this)
In any case, I don't experience this problem as often as I do there. I can only say that studios/production companies that started online and only display their own native work (Brazzers, Reality King, Fakehub*, Jules Jordan, etc etc) are more stable as far as I've tried. Never experienced a single problem there, and I've downloaded thousands of videos with not a single issue, not once.
Whereas even sites with different interfaces/entirely different companies (Penthouse and Private for example) had broken links (also downloaded a lot of their videos, probably most).
So, if there's any pattern, I've noticed that sites of companies that had old productions suffer broken links, whereas newer companies don't. That's a generalization I can make
Wow. Went completely past me, what a brainfart. The funny part was that I never bothered delving into a "full-on search" about the subject... but I really didn't have to. All I had to do was look down.
Tonight we learned that 1+1 is in fact 2. Thank you, I will retire until further notice
Easy to miss, and some of the "brands" get passed around to different companies.
On Adulttime, some of the channels are owned by them, and some are partnerships. The channels owned by them will have more complete content libraries. A list of their in-house channels are viewable here: https://www.gammastats.com/
The partnerships often only provide part of their library. For example, I'm a channel partner and have about 15% of my content on there and don't offer 4k. We get a licensing fee based on the number of views of the content.
Adult Time is now reducing bitrates for their uploads, and going back through their archives and downsampling their content. No word from them yet as to why, fans have been asking for days now. Audio quality has been reduced as well, and reverted to mono.
Adult Time and other Gamma managed sites are re-encoding their videos. They are saying that the quality is the same, just more efficient. I haven't test this out yet for myself to comment if it's really the same quality.
March 28, 2022 Encoding Format of Video Downloads We have been working on improving our encoding pipeline for downloadable files to take advantage of modern improvements to video compression.
We are now using QVBR, which reduce file size dramatically with generally no impact on visual quality. QVBR analyzes every macroblock, frame, and scene in the video source, and automatically allocates bits to address information differences: higher bitrate use during complex video segments, and lower bitrate use during less complex video segments. The result: an enhanced version of variable bitrate control that minimizes wasted bits and scales video bitrate to maintain consistent video quality.
During the transition process, the file size of downloadable files where incorrectly reported for a few days.
This has been addressed and is now fixed. If you experience any issues please feel free to contact us or provide your comments below.
Adult Time is now sending emails to members regarding criticism in the comment sections. If you are too critical, if you point out in too fine a detail the gaffes and the like, you'll wind up getting an email from their president, telling you they're "not interest in hearing what you don't like, only what you do". They'll then give you the choice to leave, to stay and only offer meaningless mindless adulation or to stay and be muted.
I can attest to what's happening to Renegade (one of the most insightful posters on Adult Time, the user has been there for years and years, back I think to when Girlsway was just that, Girlsway) as it happened to me as well. That's how I know just exactly what they'll say in their emails with you, being told this myself late last year. I chose to leave.
I decided to come back earlier this year after a few scenes caught my eye, under a new username and new card. Soon enough I got another email, though this time I've been super mindful and walking on tippy toes, dealing with their production teams with the thickest of "kid gloves" asking hadn't I agreed not to comment any longer. I replied in full that that was never our agreement and defended myself this go round, gaining the ability to comment, though still with handcuffs on.
It's stunning to me that the production crews and teams at Adult Time are so thin skinned they have to go around threatening their customers memberships over perceive slights or too much/too on the nose criticism. And disappointing. I would beg that they dispense with the bullshit and instead be honest with what they intend the comment section for - mindless adulation, and that anything else will be met with threats of either muting or cancelled membership.
I'll be contacting FameCare tomorrow sometime to go ahead and cancel my yearly membership and give this exact reasoning as to why - being hassled by the company's head over routine commenting, that they're threatening muting or cancellation over even being disappointed with content in the comment section. Sorry but that's just too much to take. If they were up front with what they want from the comment section perhaps there'd be some room for amelioration over this issue.
^If the membership was only to PT then yes it's a little strange but since you get access to the entire AT library then a yearly membership makes sense. Especially if that yearly membership gives you download capabilities instead of just streaming. I wouldn't buy one but then again I wouldn't for any site so that is a moot point for me. I also wouldn't cancel my yearly membership unless it was about to renew because ultimately I paid good money for it and no matter what the companies policy regarding comments now is. Unless I'm getting a refund then I'm using that yearly membership until it's not longer active.
I can't speak for the content AT puts out since I haven't been a member in a couple of years but I still keep track of what they offer and for that reason I don't plan to join anytime soon. Now I'm really curious to know what the comments renegade had regarding the most recent PT video were because the synopsis basically describes a crime being perpetrated on a woman.
A few words on the latest scene from Lez Cuties. It's titled "Glam Up, Dress Down" starring Zazie Skymm and Veronica Leal, released on Oct 13 2022. This one is a bit unusal for this line which often puts significant emphasis on anal toys. This one has no toys and virtually no anal. Also this scene seems to have adopted that weird sepia colored filter that is used on Mixed X.
Two general remarks: one is that I applaud Adult Time/Lez Cuties who keep this line going. There are not that many European-based g/g content and this is one of them. We can always debate about how good this or that scene is, but the consistent effort is always there to feature A-listers in these videos, and I rarely get the sense that they are phoning it in. Another is that I feel like Veronica Leal is really one of the top g/g performers. Honestly I have not seen a single bad scene from her.
Here we see Veronica eating pussy as well as anyone else in the business. Love that moment where she sticks her tongue out like "mmm yummy." A woman of culture.
They actually do tribbing for quite a long time. Again, typically not my thing but I appreciate the effort where you really do see the pussies rubbing against each other, so good effort. Very nice 69 with again great oral. Now the last two pics: as I said Lez Cuties usually have anal (typically with toys). Here this anal moment takes place when Veronica is eating Zazie's pussy from behind. It lasts very briefly, looks awesome (Go Veronica!), and seems spontaneous!
p.s.: it looks like this scene is done by the Mixed X team rather than the usual Lez Cuties team, as the reply from one of the comments is from Mixed X.
About that comments section being censored. What a shame. I am also not surprised. Mainstream will do the same thing but can do it more quietly and/or use AI filters because they have more $$$ resources.
I don't trust sites to preserve comments, so I have in general stopped adding my own and rarely read others at most porn sites. After I saw what happened at Videobox, I just don't bother anymore. I way more prefer investing my time and energy here.
