Premium Pass review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews

Overview:
Every industry has its premium tiers or service or product. From hand-wired tube guitar amplifiers to first-class airline tickets and airport lounges, from court- and ring-side seats only available to real estate tycoons and rappers to the finest haute cuisine a world-class city like Paris has to offer, there are services and products most consumers are content to never experience. Porn viewers, however, are a different breed and almost always demand a premium service for a reasonable cost. Here comes Premium Pass to (at least attempt to) save the day! A network of 30 websites focusing alternately on individual pornstar babes, European niche porn, and adult studios well worth exploring, Premium Pass clearly has plenty to offer its members, who each pay $29.95-per-month for unrestricted access to everything this large and longstanding network has to offer from basic POV blowjobs and sofa-set romps to behind-the-scenes clips of bondage preparation and the legendary Nina Hartley's blowjob advice. With a history of erratic updates, inactive sites, and uncomfortable navigation, though, Premium Pass might not suit all those semi-erect visitors to its tour pages. Don't worry, though, bro - Mr. Pink is on the case!

Pros:
Home to the websites of pornstars Phoenix Marie, Nina Hartley, Tasha Reign, Sarah Vandella, Marie McCray, Kagney Linn Karter, Chanel Preston, and Tori Black, as well as 15 others and four more general hardcore sites, Premium Pass should have all your pornstar-adoring fap-fiends out there sweating and swelling in anticipation.

This isn't the kind of network to simply throw a bunch of blowjobs at you and expect customer satisfaction. Premium Pass instead offers everything from sex-tape style pseudo-amateur scenes to dramatic plot-driven hardcore encounters, and providing behind-the-scenes clips and interviews alongside the POV blowjobs, interracial suck 'n' fucks, extreme anal and DP scenes, and whatever the fuck Nina Hartley decides to do in each new update!

Premium Pass is home to a large library of porn and is still adding new content to the collection. The 4,600 scenes here offer plenty of variety and should keep devoted fans of Sarah Vandella, Nina Hartley, Tasha Reign, and Phoenix Marie well taken care of. Those interested viewers can now get inside Premium Pass for the discounted monthly rate of just $19.95 - a very good deal indeed.

Cons:
Many Premium Pass sites are no longer updating for a variety of reasons. Katsuni hasn't shot any hardcore for a few years, a fact reflected in her site's lack of updates. The same can also be said of Sara Stone's site, as well as Tori Black's and Eva Angelina's and a few others, too! Those few sites still updating (Tasha Reign, Nina Hartley, Sarah Vandella and a few others) do so erratically, also creating long waits.

Hit the Video menu option and you're presented not with a chronological listing of all videos added to the network, but a mish-mash of updates presented in no discernible order. This is but one example of Premium Pass's shoddy navigation system and site design, something that sorely needs an upgrade.

Speaking of upgrades, photo galleries offer images that reach just 1600px and barely qualify as high-res images at all. Bringing photos to 3000px seems extremely unlikely, but it's worth holding out hope for this and other upgrades and improvements. Premium Pass does sorely need them, after all.

Premium Pass hosts so much non-sex content that it should seriously consider hauling it all onto a behind-the-scenes focused bonus site. The seemingly endless stream of interviews, photoshoot footage, and even airport check-in videos mostly just clog up the large and disorganized archive, making finding a scorching hot hardcore scene starring your favorite pornstar much harder than it should be.

Conclusion:
Yet another network pulling together the websites of various pornstars, Premium Pass seems to have aged alongside the careers of its featured women. With Tori Black and Eva Angelina shooting much less hardcore these days, and with Sara Stone, Katsuni, Brandy Talore, and Ann Marie Rios essentially retired, there's not a lot of new action here. The Premium Pass update schedule shows that only a few sites are managing to add new material and even those can't seem to do so regularly enough to make a good impression. Although the 1080p HD videos are a welcome addition and there's a few very interesting or exciting scenes added over the last few months, this is a network that has clearly seen better days. If only Nina Hartley, Sarah Vandella, and Tasha Reign were enough to keep a 30-website network afloat… Don't get me wrong, though, there's still quite a lot of truly excellent hardcore here, it's just hard to find amidst all the pointless on-set clips, pornstar interviews, and duplicated updates. Premium Pass, I'm sorry to say, has a lot of work ahead of it.
