RE-VISIT
(Note:
After
we
ran
this
review
they
added
another
site:
Mr.
Cameltoe.
Also
NOTE
THAT
THE
TRIAL
IS
NOW
LIMITED
ACCESS.
-Eds.)
A
year
and
a
half
after
our
first
visit,
it's
time
to
set
the
record
straight
on a
few
points,
and
add
some
comments
about
the
network
as a
whole:
(1)
As
far
as
we
can
tell
Bang
Bros.
Network
is
simply
a
different
entry
point
for
OxPass.
Inside
they
are
the
same
thing
(when
we logged
in
to
Bang
Bros.
Network
we
were
directed
to the
members.oxpass.com
area).
It
looks,
however,
like
they
are
trying
to
brand
with
Bang
Bros.
Network
now. Just
think
of
it
as
OxPass
v.2.0.
(2)
This
network
is
now,
in
our
opinion,
back
on
top
as
the
king
of
reality
porn
networks.
They
went
out
and
re-vamped
the
video,
so
all
the
new
stuff
is 640x480
and
1000
kb/s.
It
looks
good.
And
the
download
options
are
good
too:
mpg
or .wmv
(our
choice),
full
scenes
(200-400
megs),
four
clips
per
scene
(the
default
setting),
or a
whole
whack
of
7-meg,
one-minute
clips
for
modem
users.
A
big
thumbs
up!
They've
even
added
a
forum!
OK,
it
wasn't
working
when
we
visited,
but
still
. .
.
they
tried
to
add
a
forum!
(3)
Bang
Bus
is
back
with
weekly
updates
and
looking
good.
We
pretty
much
wrote
the
Bus off
last
time
we
were
here.
Our
mistake.
Just
don't
join
from
the
Bang
Bus
join
page,
because
for
some
reason
it
costs
a
lot
more.
(4)
They
brought
the
price
down
$10
so
it's
in
line
with
the
competition.
More
for
less!
You've
gotta
love
it.
(5)
Characteristics
of
this
network:
(a)
ugly
male
talent
(they
make
a
big
thing
about
this
on
their
tour,
and
they're
not
kidding);
(b)
chunky
female
talent
(OK,
they're
not
all
fat,
but
there's
no
denying
the
Bros.
like
them
full-figured).
(6)
Navigation
within
the
separate
sites
and
around
the
network
is
really
clear
and
smooth.
(7)
We've
added
separate
reviews
for Ass
Parade,
BallHoneys,
Bang
Bus,
and MILF
Lessons.
Ass
Parade
was
probably
the
best.
(8)
Why
do
they
have
all
those
ads
on
the
bottom
of
each
page
selling
memberships
to
All
Sites
Access
sites
at a
"special
rate
for our
members"?
It's
not a
special
rate.
The
$4.95
trial
is
the
normal
price.
The
things
people
will
do
to
make
an
extra
buck
. .
.
Not
much
to
add
beyond
this.
There
are
15
sites
total
now
in
this
network.
Six
are
no
longer
updating
but
are
still
maintained
as
archives
(BoobSquad,
Older
Women,
Spring
Break
Spycam,
Bait
Bus,
Fart
Hammer,
Mom's
Anal
Adventure).
Don't
worry
though,
with
all
the
others
firing
you
are
getting
more
than
one
full
update--that
is,
a
30-45
minute
video
with
vidcaps
and
what
are
called,
a
little
misleadingly
"high
quality"or
"digital"
pics--every
fucking
day!
All
that
plus
the
enormous
archives
(over
1,000
full-length
exclusive
movies),
plus
a
very
attractively
priced
trial
that
gives
you
total
access.
(Monday
is
the
main
update
day
for
the
network,
in
case
you're
planning
on
being
a
real
cheapster
and
doing
the
hit-and-run
thing.
But
be
advised
that
you
should
plan
on
staying
the
full
month.
It's
really
worth
it.)
Compared
to All
Site
Access:
Definitely
a
more
in-your-face,
gonzo
style.
Less
class.
Also
less
variety
(why
don't
they
have
a
lesbian
site?).
Better
video
quality
though.
Bottom
line:
One
of
maybe
four
or
five
memberships
we'd
label
a
"can't
miss."
So
don't!

REVIEW
OK, this is a little complicated.
Several years ago something called "reality porn" first
came out of south Florida. It was the house style of a group of sites
headlined by names like Bang Bus, Real Butts and BoobSquad. It was put out by a company that called themselves the
Bang Brothers (or Bang Bros.). The Webmaster program for it was called
OxCash.
Well, reality porn made a lot of money. Mainly this is because it
cashed in on the importance of the niche fetish market and because it
was relatively cheap and easy to produce. No expensive editing or studio
work, no big name stars, just guys picking girls up on the street and
then fucking them in the back of an SUV or in some generic apartment
with a blanket thrown over the same old couch.
We liked the OxCash network because it had a lot of original content
and it was a good deal (membership in one site got you membership in all
the rest). Anyway, as the quality of porn on the
Internet continued to improve, the OxCash sites didn't really change
with the times. After a while a number of them stopped updating. It
seemed the Bang Bros. were more interested in making movies and selling
DVDs then doing the Internet thing.
Well, now they're back. Sort of. Back but different. And better.
OxPass is the umbrella network for a group of 11 (when we visited,
there are more now) reality porn sites.
Some of these are "originals" from way back when, like Bang
Bus,
only now they've started updating again (albeit intermittently). Some sites are new, and show a "new and improved" dedication to better
picture and video quality. The rest of the old
sites are either dead letters, only being maintained as archives of
classic material (BoobSquad,
Real Butts) or else
they've disappeared (Backroom
Facials, Public Amateurs). Maybe the ones that have disappeared will
come back in another form eventually. There are plans to add more sites
to the OxPass network.
OK then, here's the current line-up (not much to say in most of these
reviews, but you can check out some previews at least):
Ass Parade: (external
link)
Bang
Bros. Worldwide (external link): this is mostly softcore posing
and masturbation stuff. It's the replacement for Real Butts. The
"worldwide" may only refer to the fact that some of the girls
don't speak English. 46 models when we visited, and they were all pretty
hot. Previews: Patricia,
Jessica,
Sarah.
Big Mouthfuls
Monsters
of Cock (external link): girls taking on guys with big cocks.
The cocks aren't super huge, but the dudes are definitely hung. Had 25
movies when we visited and was updating with a new one every Friday.
Previews: Loni,
Kiki, Erika.
Big Tits Round Asses
Fart
Hammer (external link): may be the worst idea for a porn site we've
ever seen. The guy farts in the girl's face after sex. Someone might have
thought this was funny, once, but who gets turned on by it? And why
dedicate a whole site to such a concept? There must be quite an audience
out there for gag porn. Not us. Previews: 1,
2, 3.
MILF
Lessons: (external link)
Mom's Anal Adventure
Tug
Jobs (external link): not really handjobs. Just straight POV
blowjobs and fucking. Usually involves swallowing at the end. But what's
with that nasty wart on the guy's dick? He should get that looked at.
And we mean professionally. Previews: 1,
2 (great tits), 3.
Spring Break Spycam
And the three remaining "original" sites:
BoobSquad
RealButts
Bang
Bus (external link): this is the one that started it all.
Girls invited to go for a ride get fucked in the back while a really
irritating narrator gives play-by-play. To be honest, we've never
figured out why this became so popular. What's the kink, aside from the
semi-public nature of the sex? The difficulty of getting good camera
angles and proper lighting wrecks the video. In any event, the video
quality here is low (see our general comments on the older sites of this
network), but at least it looks like they're going to try and keep the
site going. Some updates are occurring, but when we visited only a
couple of sites seemed to have a fixed schedule.
No question this is a great collection of exclusive porn. The older
sites have junky pics (vidcaps) and the videos aren't the same quality
(258 kb/s compared to 500 for the new stuff), but
they're still interesting. All the newer sites are decent productions,
though the "high-res" pics are still pretty unimpressive and the
video--available for download in both mpeg and wmv format--is just OK.
Of course this is a very similar package deal to All
Sites Access. There's some difference in tone. The All Sites Access
sites tend to be more lighthearted and funnier. The OxPass sites are
angrier. The women are a little . . . rounder. There's generally less set-up, and imagination, in the OxPass
creations. Remember: Reality porn makes money not so much because it's
popular as because it's cheap. So Mom's Anal Adventures often take place
in the back of the BangBus and Tug Jobs seems entirely limited to one
living room couch. The navigation, however, is quite smooth, and the
options for downloading video are very user-friendly. All the new sites
let you download very short clips (modem users), large 10-minute clips,
or whole scenes (usually over 100 megs). The older sites don't have
these options, but their video files aren't as large anyway.
The network as a whole tries to update daily, and so far seems to be
doing a fair job. Most of the new sites have weekly updates, though
there isn't a whole lot of regularity across the board. As noted,
Real Butts and BoobSquad are now just archives.
We have no problems recommending this pass--though the high monthly
fee is maybe a bit much ($10 more than All Sites?). Individually we
weren't blown away by any one of these sites (our favourites were Big
Mouthfuls and Big Tits Round Asses), but they all have something to
offer and when you put them together it is a great value. If reality porn is
your thing, there's no denying the Bang Bros. deliver.
