Overview:
Sexual repression isn't just something religious institutions impose, it's something that effects many of us for a wide variety of reasons, from a wide variety of causes and sources. Pornstar-focused network Open Life aims to counter this idea by showcasing a wide variety of human sexual impulses both solo and partnered. On the official websites of pornstars Bree Olson, Hannah Hilton, Sunny Leone, and Devon Lee, Open Life members find everything from sultry stripteases and basic blowjobs to twin-fucking, MILF marvels, and even some hypnotism porn courtesy of Ms. Ashley Fires. Open Life's ten sites promise HD videos and high-res photo galleries, each update bringing you tantalizing shots of some of porn's most illustrious sexual performers. Charging $29.99-per-month for access, Open Life promises an intimate yet undoubtedly hardcore look into the lives and work of your favorite adult performers, be they Canadian twin sisters, a married pornstar couple, MILFs fucked in hotel suites, or youthful newcomers on the cusp of superstardom. Won't you let Open Life expose your hungry eyes to a whole new world of star-fucking porno?

Pros:
Open Life's website roster reads like a who's who of popular adult stars: Sunny Leone, Bree Olson, Dylan Ryder, Hannah Hilton, Devon Lee, Ashley Fires, Abbey Brooks, The Lane Sisters, and Cassandra Calogera. Open Life is also a site of its own that shares a deep and varied collection of licensed hardcore from directors like Manuel Ferrara and Toni Ribas.

Other featured performers and acts besides those granted their own sites include Carter Cruise taking multiple dicks, Charley Chase in a ball-draining POV romp, and Kalina Ryu having her ass finger-fucked by Ferrara. The Open Life site's updates offer a surprisingly wide range of smut and routinely bring some pretty awesome HD videos to your screen in 1080p streams and MP4 downloads, and in 1920px zipped and online photo galleries.

Already home to ten websites and an archive of close to 1,800 scenes and 1,300 galleries, Open Life really does expand your virtual sexual horizons and bring you a whole world of sexual activity. New content may not be arriving much these days, but this archive is still hard to ignore, especially with new members' first months discounted to $14.95.

Cons:
Nothing new has been added to Open Life, the site or network, since late 2015. Prior to that, only a couple of sites were still active, others falling into inactivity after their titulars stars retired from adult. Hannah Hilton, Dylan Ryder, and Bree Olson have all effectively retired now while Sunny Leone's making waves in Bollywood!

Making your way around Open Life first seems like a breeze. You'll soon notice, however, that there's no graphic website index, bonus sites that may or may not be accessible to each member (depending on their other porn subscriptions) are instead listed in a text-only drop-down menu. When browsing the network, you can't narrow results to just those from one or two sites, which would help a great deal.

The majority of Open Life's content appears to be nonexclusive licensed items from a variety of vendors. The work of Manuel Ferrara packs the more recent updates of Open Life (the site) but were once available at Evil Angel and now online at Ferrara's official My XXX Pass website. If Open Life revives its update schedule, let's hope it's with new, original pornography.

It's unlikely Open Life members will see video or photo upgrades in the near future. While there's many 1080p HD videos online here, there's also a huge range of clips stuck at 480p or 540p. Photo galleries, even the freshest and strongest, don't fare so well, reaching only 1920px at their very best.

Conclusion:
Nothing new has been added to Open Life's large and exhaustive archive in well over six months, leaving fans and members in doubt as to the future of this ten-site network. The excellent amateurish smut of The Lane Sisters, Bree Olson's bubbly blankness, Teal Conrad's sultry eye contact, and the insanely fuckable Sunny Leone's softcore teases all equal significant contributions to Open Life and its members, but updates have faded off into almost complete network inactivity, making it hard to justify joining Open Life if you're also interested in My XXX Pass, a network with far too many shared traits and updates to be unrelated. When available, the 1080p HD videos tend to offer sharp, clear views, but they're often not present, fans left to make do with 480p peak video resolutions and a still-standard 1920px peak photo size. Updates, updates, updates, that's what Open Life clearly needs. It's like any actual human life: you can't do some solid early work then just sit back and expect the successes to keep rolling in.
