Overview:
There are plenty of porn sites out there that sport absolutely ridiculous names, but Twistys has always been one of the weirdest. As there is no apostrophe to indicate possession, we can assume Twisty is not the sites webmaster and rule out that possible origin. So too can we disregard the idea that perhaps each of the models are singularly referred to as “a Twisty” because the plural would of course be Twisties – with an “ie”. What then, does Twistys actually mean, where did the name come from, and why was it applied to such an impressive porn site. As we delve into the world of Twistys, we’ll find out all of this and more. At least, I seriously hope we do - the origin of this name is really bugging me!

From the outset, Twistys’ tour page informs us that the site holds more than a million photos and twenty thousand videos starring two thousand different models and, from the looks of things, they’re the hottest women on earth. Me, I’m a pretty picky guy when it comes to women. Some world-renowned hotties I would not only kick out of bed, but down the street and into the subway. Go figure. One issue I’m sure my brothers would side with me on is the issue of the hotness of Twistys’ models. From well-known adult models such as Isis Taylor, Shay Laren, and Ashlynn Brooke to women even I’ve never heard of – Nelli Hunter. Lena Sunshine, Cody Love – Twistys seems to have gathered together the absolute hottest in adult entertainment and dolled them up to look their best. That’s actually Twistys most recognizable characteristic: the models are made up, dressed up, even photoshopped up to look as perfect as they ever could; even from the preview images shown on the tour page, this is clearly evident. Content is added to the site at an impressive rate – three new galleries and two new videos every single day of the week! Man, how on earth will any of you ever manage to keep up with all that stunningly gorgeous porn?

Twistys sports a classic design with modern features. A lollipop dots the “i” in Twistys; there’s a lot of soft pink areas; everyone looks sweet and welcoming; it’s really quite a pretty site to look at. The navigational features include multiple Top 25 lists (models, photo sets, videos), recent update displays, recent Twistys Treats (something I’ll address shortly), and an alphabetized model search. Finding your way around Twistys is only likely to be hindered by the sheer volume of content that is currently being hosted in the photo and video archives - 11,730 and 3,146 items in each respectively. Sure, some of the older material doesn’t hold up too well, but it’s hard to argue with those figures or, for that matter, the figures of the smoking hot models.

There are so many gorgeous girls here that even the pickiest porno consumer will find at least a dozen that'll give him an endless supply of boners. So many models, in fact, that describing the plethora of pretties seen in the model index would merely whet your appetite further and cause you to resent me, your ostensible pornographic educator, who’s actually getting paid to stare at their beauty! Image galleries are found by hitting the "Photos" tab and are listed (with an image) by title in order of either rating (top 1000) or date added. A handy inclusion is the option to only view a list of photosets exclusive to Twistys. There’s also a Power Search that allows you to narrow down your browse criteria to exactly suit your interests.

Each gallery contains anywhere between 70 and 250 high-resolution images with most having well over 150. Newer photo sets, with resolutions that typically stand at 1067x1600 pixels, signify a substantial improvement over the lower resolution images of old. Of course, these old pics are still online and definitely aren’t bad by any stretch of the imagination, they’re just not as good as the newest stuff. All photos can be viewed individually or collectively, as a slideshow, and downloadable zip archives are also available for each set. The photography and performances in both the image sets and video clips are all very high quality with both pornstars and pornographers doing some great work. The models almost always look as close to mainstream models as most of them will ever get – not that they’re not attractive enough; their reputations would always precede them – with some serious makeup jobs applied to their faces and bodies. If you like your photographed sluts to look as glamorous as can be, Twistys is undoubtedly going to be something you’ll really appreciate.

While Twistys is heavy on the still images, high-quality video content is also provided in multiple formats (QuickTime, WMV and M4V) and can be downloaded either as partial scenes or as a whole, giving viewers the option of just watching the opening striptease or the steamy climax, depending on one's preference. Hell, you could even opt to just enjoy the middle four minutes of any given scene, if that’s your thing. Even though there are quite a few videos that now come in the High Definition resolution of 1280x720, it’s not always clear which ones they may be. Full-length videos also come in one resolution only, eschewing conventional porn delivery options. Older videos only reach 640x480 or a bit higher - basically a little below DVD quality. The clarity of these videos is decent and watching on your computer screen should be satisfying enough. Still, it’s a damn shame Twistys weren’t ahead of the game and throwing up all-HD material for at least six months.

The action in pics and vids ranges from simple stripteases to masturbation and even a little hardcore fucking. Since some performers only do solo or girl-on-girl scenes (Erica Campbell, I'm lookin' at you), don't expect to find them taking two cocks (or even one) in their mouth and you shouldn't be too disappointed. As mentioned, everything on Twistys focuses heavily on beauty and glamour, so models can always be expected to look absolutely incredible in their best outfits and sexiest looks.

Not only does Twistys provide you with a bucket load of glamorous soft and hardcore porn in their regular galleries, but there’s also the Twistys Treats – a monthly focus on a particular model that showcases her talents with extra content and an interview. With past Treats including Eva Angelina, Alexis Texas, Tori Black, and Jenna Presley, you’re bound to find the focus turning to one of your favorite pornstars or, in the case of someone like Gemma Massey - ooh, she’s a Brit – they introduce you to someone new and incredibly appetizing. Members also get free access to six other websites – Busty Ones, Euro Foxes, When Girls Play, Anette Dawn, Blue Fantasies, and Naughty Staff, which is sure to load your hard drive with enough porn to tide over those cold winter months in your Stepmom’s basement.

Joining Twistys would normally cost you $27.95 a month, which, for the amount of high-quality material you’ll be getting, is quite a deal. Now that Mr. Pink (that’s me) has snagged you a discount of eight whole dollars, it’s even more affordable! Whether or not it’ll be to your particular tastes, Twistys is easily one of the ‘net’s premiere porn sites. Is my word good enough for you, buddy, or do you need some extra coaxing?

Pros:
- Twistys features an incredibly densely packed archive of softcore and hardcore content.

- Updates arrive 365 days of the year and include at least three new galleries and two new videos.

- Now that High Definition videos are online, video fans will be even more thrilled with Twistys.

- Twistys often feels like an online gentleman’s club. The only thing you’re not given is a Tom Collins.

Cons:
- While there is a lot of exclusive content, more would always be a move in the right direction as movies you may have seen elsewhere can get in the way when searching for fresh photos and footage.

- Much of the older content has dated quite poorly. Nice big hair, 80s chick!

- If you like your women as natural as possible, you’ll be turned off by the amount of makeup and airbrushing used to make the Twistys models look absolutely perfect.

- There are no streaming video options, forcing you to download everything you want to watch – even the huge HD videos.

Conclusion:
Twistys, I love you. You’re a shining example of what a porn site can achieve with a clearly defined style, some hard work, and gorgeous models. Twistys has been around long enough and has become successful enough that it is synonymous with high-quality glamour porn of both the softcore and hardcore variety. Twistys Treats are legendary and focus on the absolute hottest women in the industry. Updates arrive multiple times every day and expand the already enormous archive. There are even six bonus sites, should you ever tire of Twistys itself. At $27.95, membership is a great deal. At Mr. Pink’s discounted price of $19.95, it’s a steal. Go, fellow traveler. Go to Twistys now.
