Overview:
There's a Theatre of the Absurd, Japanese Kabuki theatre, the Italian Commedia Dell'arte, and dozens of other established forms of dramatic presentations appearing throughout history, but up until now there has been one form of theater largely overlooked in serious scholarship: AEBN. Best represented by the website of the same name, AEBN is, well, straight (i.e.: heterosexual) and profoundly sexual. AEBN, the website, serves up a very healthy selection of hardcore works of a pornographic nature, capturing the most base human drama in all its sordid glory. This here's a pay-per-view site, folks, so you'd best watch your wallets if you're going to indulge. But what, you ask, will indulging in AEBN entail? With feature-length movies costing as little as $4.95 and a variety of leasing and viewing options, AEBN gives you flexibility than most porn sites do not; and there's a huge archive of top-notch smut here, to boot. With many major studios, A-list stars, and legendary movie series already online and more added all the time, AEBN seems a much safer, far less potentially humiliating alternative to beating your meat in a XXX cinema. Just ask Fred Willard, Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens, and the many other gentlemen arrested for whipping it out in "public".

Pros:
AEBN hosts an absolutely gigantic 88,000-title collection of content sourced from some of porn's most consistently impressive studios. As a member, you'll have access to features from Girl Candy Films, Evil Angel, Sweet Sinner, Digital Sin, Lethal Hardcore, Reality Junkies, Devil's Film, Jules Jordan Video, and many other producers, some of which (like Vivid) are even given their own channels. There's plenty of truly great smut here, fellas!

Top adult performers including Asa Akira, Liza Del Sierra, Audrey Bitoni, Lisa Ann, Sunny Leone, Remy LaCroix, and Nyomi Banxxx, followed through with an easy to browse and locate the specific kind of movie you desire, whether pissing, interracial, lesbian, granny-fucking, Europorn, BDSM, or straight hardcore.

When deciding on how to view your selected scene or title, you've got four basic options: pay-per-minute, 48-hour rental, lifetime rental (streaming only), or download-to-own. Downloads are the most expensive option but roughly equal the retail cost of the title and are free from DRM restrictions; videos not offered in 720p HD hit a 480p resolution.

Predictably, AEBN offers online video streams of its content, but there are instructions for getting the videos to play on your TV, too. Roku users have it easy: an AEBN (Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network, AEBN's host) has its own Roku channel. Best of all, if you feel like giving AEBN a try, it's free to do so and you'll be given 30 minutes of free viewing to get your sea legs.

Cons:
The one detriment to using any pay-per-view service is that it can get very expensive, very quickly. Here at AEBN, movie rentals can damage your wallet more than pay-per-minute. When you consider many adult video sites offer thousands of feature-length titles for only $20-a-month and AEBN's downloadable features cost about $20 each, you'll see where your sense of value takes you.

While there's plenty of great adult content here, there's plenty of junk, too! For every A-list studio there seems to be a dozen low-rent outfits churning out mediocre (or even atrocious) excuses for erotic entertainment. Amateur content abounds at AEBN and most of it is of substantially poor quality.

Performers are listed in the general movie info, but not for the individual scenes. Going only by the thumbnail previews, it can be a bit hard to tell exactly who's who in a given scene. Naming the women (and even men) performing in each scene would certainly eradicate that issue and make for easier browsing.

Titles aren't added on a clear schedule and only their date of production (month and year only) is shown on their info page. It's therefore hard to know exactly how frequently new movies join the collection; it seems, though, updates are reasonably frequent.

Conclusion:
As with any pay-per-view streaming adult video service, AEBN's most significant drawback is (or better, can be) its cost. With features usually costing around $9.95 for permanent streaming access and twice that price for downloads, you can rack up quite a bill in little time at all. Compared to download-friendly megasites like Videobox and Videosz, AEBN doesn't seem like a very good deal at all. Online here, however, is a wide selection of content sourced from studios who aren't exactly throwing their titles the way of any old video site; many features are difficult to find elsewhere and certainly difficult to sample in a pay-per-minute arrangement. Videos, when offered in a High Definition 720p format, look very nice indeed, but they can also look drab, lifeless, and utterly bland - it all depends on the studio, director, and vintage of the work. AEBN is bound to be a good fit for those who want as much variety as possible without any real commitment. So: men.
