Overview:
All forms of passive entertainment try, at some point, to move a little closer to reality as we know it. Think of the joke that is reality television, the failed Nintendo Virtual Boy, and the tens-of-thousands of landfill-filling "virtual sex" DVDs that had you fiddling with your remote more frequently than your pecker, and it's clear that bridging the virtual world and reality is, for the most part, a waste of time and effort. The pinnacle of "realistic" porn is, however, the very appealing and popular POV porn niche. With more and more studios and sites adopting POV shooting, it'll take something truly special to make POV Life, Team Skeet's site providing vicarious sexual experiences with super-hot babes you'd likely never land in real life, stand apart from the crowd. I gotta say, though, these tour previews showing Carter Cruise lying on a bed and begging to taste a dick, Belle Noire lifting her skirt flirtatiously, and Kelly Diamond struggling to accommodate a very large new friend, and Mena Li looking all sultry in minimal clothing, they're all pretty exciting. Before you rush off and toss your $28.97 monthly membership fee at POV Life, you might want to consider learning a bit more about this, the signature 'virtual sex' endeavor of the legendarily adventurous Team Skeet, courtesy of Mr. Pink's!

Pros:
Shooting porn from the male POV is nothing new, but when it's done well it's a marvelous thing to behold. For the most part, POV Life shoots handheld and over-the-shoulder, making it seem like you're standing tall and getting blown, not some faceless, nameless doofus. The girls look up into 'your' eyes, spout some filthy speak, then beg you to fuck them deeper and harder and faster. Hot stuff!

POV Life is a relatively new venture for Team Skeet, but it has already attracted a good mix of new and established porn talent, assembling them before you and inviting you to take your pick. Legends like Charley Chase, Rachel Roxxx, Natasha Nice, and Alexa Nicole drain some dicks here, as do Gianna Nicole, Jodi Taylor, Lexi Davis, and Carter Cruise.

POV Life publishes a new scene every week - or, at least, it has recently - and does so courtesy of HD videos and high-res photo galleries. Galleries could be better but nevertheless look quite strong at 1620px both online and in zips, while videos are very impressive in streams and downloads, at 720p and 1080p resolutions.

A fairly large site by Team Skeet standards, POV Life currently holds 98 exclusive, original point-of-view hardcore scenes. Adding huge value to all POV Life memberships, which can now be bought for only $14.87-month, is free access to 19 other Team Skeet websites. From Innocent High and Teens Do Porn to Teeny Black and Oye Loca, Team Skeet is a hoot-and-a-half!

Cons:
POV Life launched in 2010 and has, since then, had a fairly consistent style. Sure, scenes have left fake jail cells and now take place almost exclusively in bedrooms, but the colorful design and roomy framing has served the site well. Strangely, the five most recent scenes star not the newcomers that preceded them, but Charley Chase, Alexa Nicole and three other bonafide porn legends and are shot with a totally different mood.

Most POV-shot porn goes to great lengths to guarantee a consistently subjective perspective. Not so with POV Life, I'm afraid. The camera is often placed beside the action, capturing both female and male performers in the frame. Although the pretense of a homemade shoot is kept up, the camera doesn't always stay at the guy's POV.

Although it now holds almost 100 scenes, POV Life is not a large site by most standards. Most Team Skeet sites are quite small also, meaning that even with network access included, your entire available archive doesn't even come close to a fraction of what, say, Brazzers or Bang Bros offer.

Compared to many other sites now offering 3000, 4000, 5000, even 6000px photo galleries, POV Life's 1620px images look pretty weak. Upgrading galleries might not seem like a high priority job, but those devoted to still photos will tell you there's nothing better than a crystal clear shot of your new favorite pornstar doing something wild and wicked.

Conclusion:
The surprise appearance of five pornstar babes that don't really fit in with the rest of POV Life's roster have caused this reviewer some concern. Not only are these five scenes visually quite different from the usual POV Live episode, one of the stars, Charley Chase, has basically left porn for the time being, making her appearance here seem like it was dragged from the unpublished archives to, like the others accompany it, fill a void in POV Life's current production schedule. Let's hope that's not the case 'cause, as great as Charley and her pals are, the focus of this teen-focused Team Skeet endeavor should be on the brilliant new talent getting fucked here in surprisingly intimate POV scenes. Although the camera often leaves a true POV position (blurring the man's face as an afterthought), the scenes are mostly loaded with compelling hardcore romps; almost 100 of them, to be precise. If the webmasters can sort out their performer and update schedule, bump up the photo resolution, and keep the camera firmly planted in the fucker's POV, I daresay POV Life can make not a comeback, but a great play for POV porn supremacy.
