Update, September 20 2008
It appears that the OxPass network got a name change earlier this year, it's now called BangPass. Aside from the new name - and a still steady stream of content updates on most of the network sites - nothing else appears to have changed though.
Update, January 9 2008
The second stop on my site network review update tour (whew, that was a long one) is the OxPass network, arguably one of if not the very best reality porn network.
I've already aired my rather reserved personal attitudes toward that type of porn in the review below - and various other places on this site - so I think I better just stick to the objective comments here (though as a matter of fact, I was delighted to find the camera guy chatter entirely absent in pretty much all the recent movies I've sampled today, so maybe there's a chance even I can actually start to fully appreciate more of these videos now).
As far as I can tell, not much has changed since my last visit - well, aside from several hundred new videos and photosets across the already very large network of course.
And since it's probably safe to say the OxPass guys already had the reality porn formula nailed to near perfection (alright, so maybe I'm not really the person best qualified to make that call, but there's gotta be a reason why their sites have been so immensely popular for several years, and even I rather like some of the actual porn - it's just those "reality" elements I don't care for), constant volume growth is probably all they really need.
And of course a few new girls won't hurt either, and fortunately I spotted plenty of those - a few notable names include Sasha Grey, Briana Love, Sandra Romain, Daphne Rosen, Paola Rey, Daisy Marie, Eva Angelina, Carmella Bing and numerous other well known pornstars and fresh amateurs.
There have also been a few new site additions in 2007, but it seems like these guys really can't manage to properly get new sites to take off, as it's been months since the last updates on nearly all of them.
Fortunately the updates at the around eight largest sites remain regular as clockwork.
So overall still a highly recommendable and very large network.
2nd look, January 23 2007
As I'm quite certain I made relatively clear in my original review text below, I had somewhat mixed feelings towards the OxPass network when I reviewed it 13 months ago - and they remain after having checked out a selection of all the new video and photo content that's been added to the now 13 included sites (one small inactive one is gone, two new have been added, including a "camel toe" site) since my first visit.
Let's be clear about one thing though - just because I'm personally (still not) not much of fan of this "reality" style shit, here made even worse (to me) by having that annoying camera guy participating way too much on some of the sites, with interviews and encouraging/cheering chatter, it doesn't mean the OxPass isn't (still) one of the best and most impressive reality style porn networks out there. Even I, through the judgmental cloud in front of my eyes, can see that.
And I do in fact still like some of these videos, from a few of the network sites in particular.
Alright, now that we've once again established that I hate reality porn, let's see what has changed.
The most obvious thing is volume. With one weekly video/photo update on ten of the sites (the remaining three are dorment, but still have between 16 and 45 videos/photosets each), most of the active sites now have a minimum of around a hundred content updates each, most of them between 130 and 190 - so we're certainly not talking about small sites here.
And as many negative things I can find to say about the style of the content, the OxPass/BangBros guys certainly know how to pick their girls. I actually think I mentioned in one or two of the individual site reviews, something about too many of them looking a bit too plain for my taste. Well, looking over the faces of the last several months of network updates, things have either picked up significantly or I may have been overly critical during my last visit. Sure, there are still plenty of "girl next door" types in there (some of them still perhaps a bit too ordinary for my taste, but I'm admittedly a bit of a glamour porn/babe fan), but also a whole lot of really hot girls, still including regular visits from pornstars like Daisy Marie, Katja Kassin, Jenaveve Joli, Roxy Jezel, Mia Bangg, Isis Love, Leah Luv and many others.
(Actually, I just read through my original review below and noticed that I'm pretty much repeating myself to the letter here - but, well, no point in letting five minutes of writing go to waste so I'll keep my finger off the delete button.)
Site design was also spiced up across the network a while back, making the member areas not only great looking with neat layouts and large and plentyful preview pics, but also even easier to navigate than before.
Video quality is still great as expected, much better than the what you get with other reality networks I've reviewed (where streaming only additionally seems to be a bit too common, not so with OxPass fortunately).
I have added one point to the quantity score and the same to navigation and design, boosting OxPass into the "excellent" range. Yep, I may not be a big fan of the parts that really matter (the actual content), but I'm also well aware those reservations are of a rather personal nature, so they may not apply to you at all.
Or to put it in simple terms - OxPass is a kickass reality network.
Original Review
The so-called reality porn sites have been flooding the net over the last few years, and while I've turned into a grumpy not-yet-all-that-old man who automatically resents any form of entertainment being passed off as "reality", I'm usually willing to let lame concepts slide if the fucking is good.
It's probably safe to say anyway that reality TV and not reality porn bears most of the blame for my aversion.
In the tidal wave of said reality porn sites some still manage to be ahead of the rest, and since the guys behind OxPass pretty much started the whole thing around five years ago with the launch of BangBus, they should have the experience to put together some pretty decent sites. And so they do.
An OxPass membership currently includes access to 12 reality sites, covering almost as many themes, although there is some overlapping.
Aside from BangBus you will find lots of natural tits and asses on sites like Big Tits Round Asses, Boob Squad and Ass Parade. Monster cocks and handjobs are two themes also given their own sites, and the same goes for latinas, milfs and a few additional ones.
Most of the sites feature long video episodes with mostly amateur girls (fitting with the reality concept that is more or less prominent on all the sites) with the occasional guest visit from big name stars like Taylor Rain, Sativa Rose and Katja Kassin.
The video quality on recent content is excellent - a crystal clear 640x480 resolution with a 1000 kbit bitrate, and while photo content is obviously not the main focus on these sites, most videos come with a side dish of both video stills and real photos.
So this is the perfect reality porn network then? I'll refrain from saying that until I've taken a look at several others, but saying that it's great and well worth the money is definately not exaggerating the least.
I do have some issues with the OxPass network though - although most of them are down to personal preference.
To cover the issue that doesn't fall under that category - four of the sites are not updated at all anymore (one was obviously an entirely failed attempt that was dropped way back in early 2004 after only six updates), but two of them have enough content that they are still good for quite a few hours of entertainment.
I will save the other issues for the individual reviews, but in general they are just personal nit picks you may not share at all - such as me finding some of the models a bit too plain looking (but we are talking amateurs afterall, so that's probably not quite fair) and the camera man being way too chatty on a few of the sites.
Overall OxPass is a great site network with a number of large and some smaller sites that together provide several hundred hours of hardcore video entertainment - with thousands of photos and video stills on top if that should have your interest.
The video content is generally top notch - both production values (while keeping with the amateur concept) and quality, and most of it is pretty damn hot.
So is a fair number of the girls, although I may have gotten a bit too used to gorgeous East European babes and various glamour girls and pornstars, and as such find some of the OxPass girls a bit too plain looking as mentioned above.
The girl next door look is supposed to be very popular though, so your mileage may vary.
