Content Quantity 15/15

Well I couldn’t check every image out but from what I could tell their collection is huge. 750,000 images might be stretching it a bit by I would say there is a minimum of 500,000 images.

Photos are available in every subcategory on the site but probably the most sought after items are photos of the Vivid girls themselves. Click on the Vivid Girls menu item and you are presented with a page with the complete list of Vivid girls available (at last count over 50). Select a girl and you are taken to her page with a further selection as to what type of content you would like to see. The photosets are huge, up to 50 pages per model, each page contains 60 pics. The pages are not broken down into individual photo shoots but are simple one large continuous database of photos. Click on a photo and you are presented with a larger, higher quality image. The photos are from photo shoots, candid shots taken while filming or simple vidcaps.

This is Vivid right, so what I really want to see is the videos. Wow, I wasn’t disappointed. Right now the sight includes over 525 full-length x-rated features, all Vivid exclusives, some 120 minutes long. You can either simply follow the above navigation method or see each girl’s videos or simple go to the video section for a complete listing of all titles available. One drawback though, you can’t download the videos to your hard drive but can only stream them, Multiple download options are available as per your download connection type.

There is also a large collection of behind the scenes photos and videos. These include bloopers, outtakes and appearances by the Vivid Girls.

In addition to the seemingly endless supply of exclusive Vivid content there is also an enormous amount of additional content available. Thousand upon thousands of high quality bonus pictures are available from some of the biggest names in the business: Earl Miller, Jenna Maxx etc. Premium video feeds are available from top ranked companies such as Hustler and Home Grown Video, There is an extensive collection of Live feeds provided including access to all the Vivid girls personal webcams.

Complete access is also given to the full spectrum of Vivid Girl sites as well as to some other premium sites within the Vivid network. Thrown in access to the Vivid store (where you will receive discounts), adult games, cartoons and E-Zines and Vivid delivers the complete package. This just might be the largest collection of online porn available today.



Content Quality 12/15

This is Vivid Video right? Makers of the highest quality adult smut around! So why is it they come up shorthanded with respect to quality. Everyone knows they have the best product so put it all on display here for the world to see. Instead they have taken a few shortcuts that have resulted in a lower score in this category.

The still photos are a mixed bag. Some of them are the highest possible quality you can get. Shot by the best photographers in the world, Lighting, focus and composition are perfect. Then Vivid turns around and only lets you seen them at ½ screen. Others are simple vidcaps that when viewed full screen suddenly appear blurry or not sharp. The biggest travesty, you cannot download the pics to your hard-drive as they are script protected.

The videos themselves are only slightly better than average quality. The Vivid archive is full of the best hardcore DVD’s ever made. Why aren’t they shared with the website members? Instead you are given access to movies that can only be viewed at partial screen size. Viewing them full screen results in severe image degradation. They are available for viewing at different quality settings depending on your connection type but even the highest settings produce only than satisfactory results. They also can only be streamed with no option available to download them to your own computer. They are available for streaming as WMV, Real Player or QuickTime files.

The one saving grace in this category for Vivid is the quality of its girls. There is simply not a better collection of spunk sluts in this universe. It’s well known in the industry that Vivid makes stars out of its contract girls who in turn make large sums of cash. This attracts numerous girls and Vivid knows how to pick only the hottest ones. Not only are they absolutely gorgeous, but they must also be expert cock swallowers who also don’t mind bending over to have 1 or 2-10” members shoved up their poop chute prior to emptying on their outstretched tongues. Simply rated, the Vivid girls are all 10’s.




Content Originality 10/10

While there is some non-exclusive content available on the site this is a testimony to Vivid, thus the majority of the content is Vivid content, produced by Vivid, starring exclusive Vivid girls and distributed only by Vivid. The rest is just additional content offered as a bonus to membership.

If you are looking to see a Vivid movie or longing to catch a glimpse at their bevy of beauties this is definitely the place to see it. While their full catalogue of product is not available for viewing on the site you can visit their online store where every product they have is available for purchase at reduced rates. Every photoset they have and every movie available for streaming is a Vivid product. You may have seen some of the content elsewhere, either purchased or stolen but you can rest assured that it is originally produced by Vivid. This site can’t get any more original.



Updates 10/10

Fresh content is added to the site daily. You can’t acquire such a huge collection of material by having sporadic updates. Besides, this only represents a small portion of their extensive collection. The company makes sure that all of their sites; including their individual Vivid girl pages are loaded with unique, original, constantly updated material.

Updates come in many forms whether it be simply photosets, behind the scene action, new Vivid Girls or newly released movies. Tons of new material also comes from the bonus features like the additional sites, webcams, games, E-Zines, stories or cartoons. Becoming a member of Vivid is like finding the mother load, there is so much content you can’t possibly see it all and they add lots of new stuff daily to keep all porn surfers completely satisfied.



Speed 7/10

One area where the site falls a little bit short is in the accessibility of its content. To start with, simply loading each page is sometimes a chore. I have high-speed cable access and it sometimes takes almost a minute for a full page to download. I can only imaging the poor dial-up user sitting at home waiting for the next age to download so he can continue whacking off. I think this is simply because the site tries to cram in too much content per page.

The videos do have different download options available as per you connection but at what cost. Even at the highest setting the quality still suffers so what is the dial up user to do. He is forced to watch an inferior albeit super hot product. And what’s with all the protection stopping paying customers from downloading images and videos. I bet this also affects page download as the content is in such high demand and the site traffic is huge that members must constantly reload a page to see their favorite image or video. An improvement in this category is a must. I pity the dial up user.



Navigation - Ease of Use 9/10

Wow there is so much to see on this site where do I begin. They have attempted to simplify it for you. Across the top of the content area are some tabs not unlike those found on file folders, Each tab has a heading: Home, Vivid Girls, Movies, Photos, Live Sex, Behind the Scenes and Extras. Most are self-explanatory.

Clicking on one of the tabs brings you its respective page. If you click on the Vivid Girls tab you are brought to a page with a link menu of each girl listed alphabetically on the left, and a thumbnail listing of each girl in the body of the page. Click on the thumb and you are brought to the girl’s page. A thumbnail menu lets you pick to see your favorite stars: Bio, Softcore Pics, Hardcore Pics or Videos. There is also a neat search tool that lets you search the site by star or movie title.

Another button menu is located at the bottom of each page. All pages work in the same fashion and when you reach your destination the content is laid out in a neat orderly fashion. The only small drawback to the site is the amount of content available. This results in some pages that seem a little crammed to full of information but if you simply use the tabs and side menus to navigate through the site this should present only a minor inconvenience.



Navigation - Design 5/5

The site is clean, well laid out and easy to navigate. But then what else would you expect from the leaders of the porn industry.

White space abounds creating a pleasing effect on the eyes. You don’t have to search to far to find what you want. The page color is a mixture of white and various shades of blue. Some of the text boxes have alight grey background that perfectly complements the other colors utilized.

When you visit the site you quickly realize that the operators know what they’re doing. The site looks fresh. Modern, up to date and well organized. The look bodes well for expectations within.

Bonus Sites 10/10

The party just keeps on getting better. In addition to the almost limitless amount of content available from the Vivid site itself you also get a tremendous amount of bonus content including:

Access to the following sites: TheBlackPack, Nineteen, AmazingFacials, ButtHunger, XXXAsianHardcore and the complete collection of individual Vivid girls webpages including such stars as: Chasey Lain, Brian Banks, Kira Kener, Devon, Janine and much much more.

These webcams also include live webcasts undertaken by your favourite Vivid Girls. Additional features include: Behind the scenes action and blooper clips, adult games, Hentai cartoons and very popular Vivid E-Zines.



Price vs. Content 5/5

How can a site with this much content and bonus material not receive a perfect score in this category! To top it off, they’ve even reduced the price significantly. $ 9.95 per month for this much exclusive Vivid content, you’ve got to be kidding. This was a value even at the previous monthly cost of $ 29.99. Shhhh, don’t let Vivid know!

Even if they do raise the price again I would still rank them highly in this category but would take a point of for the above mentioned quality concerns. If the price ever does go back to normal and you visit the site before I have a chance to revise my review rest assured it is still a bargain. The 3-day trial is a no brainer but even at $ 29.99 per month it may be the only adult paysite you will ever need.

Final Remarks...

Well I must admit I was kind of biased prior to viewing this site. I have been a big fan of Vivid’s work since its inception back in the Ginger Lynn days. I have met a few of the Vivid Girls in person at a number of trade functions and I must say they are just as stunning in person as they are on film. No heavy make-up or special lighting techniques needed here. I am also a big fan of their work, the videos are always top notch and full of hot hardcore no holds barred action.

Well going through the tour I was a bit skeptical as they made some outlandish promises as to the extent of the collection inside. To my surprise they only exaggerated somewhat. The amount of content available is huge, one of the largest if not the largest collections I have ever seen. It is all-exclusive, original material produced and owned by the Vivid Group. If that’s not enough they have provided access to premium Hustler and Home Grown Video feeds that allows you to not only watch the Vivid collection of x-rated films but also top quality films from these companies as well. Add in the extensive collection of bonus sites including the complete collection of Vivid Girls personal sites and the amount of content is mind-boggling. You also get access to the Vivid store, which includes their entire catalogue of films in addition to other premium adult production companies. Discounts are given on all purchases of DVD’s, videos, toys and the like.

One sour note though, in an attempt to keep their content from being mass distributed freely over the net they have limited the members ability to download their favorite images or videos. Still photos are script protected thereby stopping you from saving them to your hard drive. Videos can be streamed only. The result is that video quality is compromised, you won’t find any full screen DVD quality video here, and the site sometimes gets bogged down by an overload of members wishing to view the exhaustive collection of premium content, Sometimes viewing their favourite images over and over again as they can’t save them for their own viewing convenience.

Getting access to Live webcasts from your favorite Vivid Girls has untold value. I myself log on to every episode, never missing one. These girls are hot and brash. Willing to talk cock shop with all their fans. How could you possibly pass up on the chance to chat live with a hottie like Cassidey? I know I can’t. If they’re not available there is a large collection of other webcams containing literally 100’s of girls for your entertainment.

For all the content available Vivid has done a nice job in presentation and delivery. The site is visually appealing (pictures of the Vivid girls splattered everywhere doesn’t hurt), and the content is easy to find through the use of well placed, easy to use menus. When you actually do reach the content it is segregated into well-defined categories and neatly laid out and organized. Everything about the design, structure and navigation of the site is professional.

I have saved the best for last. Right now Vivid is offering unlimited access to this site and all its bonuses for only $9.95 per month. That’s right! I guess they are having a big membership drive or something, who cares, jump on it now. I would highly recommend this site at the $29.99 per month cost let alone this price, this is a no brainer. If for some reason you miss this offer take the three-day trial. After you get a glimpse of only a small portion of what they have to offer you will want more. One of the best collections of high-end hardcore porn on the net starring the hottest babes on the planet, the Vivid Girls. If you are only a member of one adult site Vivid should be at the top of your short list. Excellent!
