Teen Dreams
Summary
Porn-power
- While every model is a gorgeous teen babe, I did sometimes miss a bit excitement. Many repeat poses and stale camera angles.
- Hard to judge, because it varies greatly. I didn't see anything below average, but saw a lot above. Many DVD-quality videos and huge pictures.
- You get incredible amounts of content and new updates are added more often than you change your underwear.
- Doesn't seem entirely consistent, but very regular. When I visited 45 updates had been posted in the past 10 days !
- Not all pictures are as huge as the ones in the tour, although very fine resolution still. Other than that promises are kept, even the 900.000 images is true :)
- Overall it is very good, but the indexing of updates, could be improved. Other minor issues mentioned below
- Everything works, and the speed is as good as it should be.
My opinion
TeenDreams is a highly established and esteemed teen babe / glamour site. It is also the biggest site I have ever been inside in terms of picture quantity. They claim to have a whopping 900.000 images, and I can easily believe that. In fact I think they could have passed the 1 million mark by now! TeenDreams has been online since 1996, and most review sites agree that it is one of the absolute top teen sites.
I would like to put my vote in that pool, but possibly a little less unconditionally than others. I find many of the shoots to be a little boring. The site wants to offer hardcore content along with the softcore, yet almost all the exclusive sets are very softcore, don't be surprised if you see sets where the panties are never lost. Further I think many picture sets have too many repeat poses and stale camera angles. In other words there isn't enough variation. This is very common, they post 200 pictures, from a set that really only has 50 different pictures. Why do they do it? -To be able to tell you that you get 900.000 pictures without lying. IMO 200.000 pictures would still be impressive, and that way they would all be exciting.
Like I said most shoots are very softcore, ranging from outdoor posing to bathroom masturbation with small dildo's. The majority of sets are solo girls, but there are also a lot of lesbian and boy/girl sets. Asian solo girls and amateur girls are other (smaller) categories. The boy/girl series that totals around 1200 sets, is the place to find the hardcore stuff. It is still largely glamour porn, so don't expect anything bizarre. That being said several sets do offer good hardcore action.
The site seems to focus mostly on the girls, and less on what they are are willing to do in front of the camera. IMO a better (harder?) blend of the two would improve the porn-power. On the other hand you get to explore the extreme beauty of these young ladies down to the smallest detail. The babes are all super hot, some resembling my idea of angels... -My idea of paradise beats any existing religion's :)
It amazes me that they are able to offer the extreme quantity of content that they do, without one single "below average" girl showing up. Seriously, I didn't see one model who wasn't hot! -This amazement naturally grows as I keep browsing without finding that ugly girl!
The archive holds 8300 picture sets, with an average of at least 100 pics per set, and roughly 650 videos, or at least that is my estimate. You also get adult stories, both text and audio, model interviews and other special updates. Plus an active forum, where the people behind the site actually answer questions and requests, and of course the usual help pages and so on.
Finally I should mention the bonuses: You get access to a section from Viv Thomas, a top glamour pornographer, which constitutes a lot of good content on it's own. You also get access to some hustler streams, live cams and a few feeds that IMO aren't worth mentioning individually.
Tech-stuff:
As for the navigation and design I feel that it could be improved, don't get me wrong though, everything works exactly as intended.
There is a great search function, at the bottom of the main-page, which I didn't find it at first. -A link in the menu would be nice. All pages are titled "Latest updates" which is also a bit annoying. Thumbnails are slightly too small for my taste. Sorting updates by different columns (f.ex. date and rating) would be nice too. The menu is different on different pages which sometimes results in having to click back to the front page before you can get to where you want... Anyway, I could keep mentioning little annoyances, but I won't. They are small...
Videos come in one quality, available for streaming or downloading in WMV format. The resolution and overall quality is not consistent at all, however I didn't see anything that was below the average by todays standards, on the other hand I saw a lot that was way better. The exclusive content seems to be the best quality, the best I saw was 720x576, I think that is just exactly DVD-quality. And for once it wasn't one clip in a hundred that was high resolution, it was actually the majority of videos!
Pictures vary in size from 800x600 to 1752x1168 (extremely high resolution). I refuse to complain about pictures being too good, but I should warn modem users that they are only available in one resolution, and a 1752x1168 pic can take a while to download if you're on a 56k modem!
Phototech quality is just fine without being outstanding. Lighting and focus is ok, but not always 100%... Or maybe they are, and I just have the wrong idea. Most of the "spread pussy" shots for example had the face 100% in focus, while the pussy was clear, but not 100%... I would prefer it the other way around.
Picture sets can be downloaded in ZIP-files, and there is even a feature to combine several sets into one ZIP for later download. However there seems to be a rather low limit on this feature which makes it less usefull... I tried once, and it told me the max was reached after 2 sets. According to their FAQ it allows up to 4 sets, but probably there is a size-limit also, and I happened to chose large sets.
