View Full Version : Review of Smother.com

As with my other reviews, everything said here is my own opinion and I respect everyone’s right to agree or disagree with anything or everything I say.

With that said, I’ll crack on with the review.

When I first noticed facesitting material was on the internet, I became aware of facesat.com, and loved their sample clips. When I finally got some money I decided to join that site, but found it had moved to smother.com long ago.

With that in mind I decided to join smother.com, and paid the highest member fee I have paid to date, $29.99, (which is £15 to us living in the UK) for 1 months membership.

As soon I had paid using my debit card I received instant membership, and started searching for the full versions of the facesat.com preview clips that I had loved for so long.

Clicking the ‘Videos’ link took me to a total treasure trove of clips, unfortunately the clips are all presented on one page, and although they are listed in date order, finding a particular clip is extremely difficult as each clips has a small thumbnail picture and a date, and obviously a link to the clip.

As you can imagine, I had no idea when the clips featured in the previews I had seen were made, or if they were even on the site, it was like a needle in a haystack!. After looking at the thumbnails I spotted one I remembered and clicked the link. Clicking a thumbnail takes you to the page where you can download the clip(s), view the picture gallery of screen caps, and for newer clips, view the high-res digital camera clips.

Almost every video has a picture gallery, although some older ones don’t. The pictures are very high quality, and even the screen caps are nicely presented and look great.

I havn’t had any reason to even click the ‘support’ option as everything has run so smoothly, so I can’t comment on that.

Back to the videos, all the videos I have viewed have been excellent, I can’t complain about the clips in the slightest. I can, however, complain about the navigation.

As I said earlier, finding the clips I was looking for was really difficult, as the clips are named ‘Smother Stories 468’ or ‘SS290’ etc… so finding what the clip contains is difficult, if not impossible. Some clips do contain a few lines on the content, but the vast majority don’t. I can’t help but think that with the vast amount of preferences within the facesitting scene, every clip should have a few lines saying whats in the clip, or a few bullet points like

• Ass Worship
• Nude
• Reverse
• Front

etc etc. This wouldn’t take much extra effort and would make finding what your after a lot easier.

This leads me to my next problem, searching. As far as I can find there is absolutely no search option, so if you wanna see a clip of a particular style of facesitting or mistress, even if you know the name of the mistress your looking for, you have to rely on the small thumbnails to find what your looking for. Obviously you could click each video link to see the mistress featured, but even then, some clips simply don’t tell you.

Also, if videos had bullet points as mentioned earlier then searching could possibly be made easier by having a search option with check boxes to find clips with exactly what you want.

This isn’t a major thing, as no site I’ve seen so far has this feature, but with such little info on each clip finding what you want can be very hard.

Right, I’ll try to wrap this up asap so I’ll move onto the free sites. When you join smother.com you are given instant access to 20 free sites, and although I’ve only visited 3 of these sites, they seem to be quite poor, but they’re free, so I have no complaints.

Right, quickly back to the clips, nearly all the clips come in both 512k (roughly 10 megs, medium quality) and 1000k (30-60 megs, depending on clip, excellent quality) options, which is great for those with slower internet connections or limited amounts of downloads per month. However, most videos are split into clips, with some having 1 and some having as many as 12, how I appreciate that this is to help people who just wanna quick clip, but theres no mention of what each clip contains, so if your looking for the a specific part in the video, your stuck with trial and error.

Also, I would have liked the option to download a whole movie, instead of it being split up into clips, by which I mean have a list of all the clips, and at the bottom have a link to download the full video. This is only a minor complaint however.

I know this review seems a bit like whine, but its all comments which I feel are valid, and I would like to finish by saying that overall smother.com represents excellent value for money, and every single clip is excellent. I am very very pleased with the sheer amount of clips and the high quality of each clip, and will defiantly be keeping my membership.

thanks for the review Sgt. Pepper. You raise some valid points that I think I seem to forget about. I've been a member of www.smother.com long enough that I pretty much know all the clips and there whereabouts on the page. Also, I can recognize most models from their tatoos or what their uh lower body looks like (yeah, I know that's kinda sad). My suggestion would be that if you know the number of the video you're looking for just CTRL 'f' and search for it that way. Another way you can do it which will be better as it updates is use www.fetishvideos.com as a reference page. If you can on your browser, open another tab in the same window with smother in the first and fetish videos in the second. On fv you can search by category or type in a keyword of a model or a word like 'nude'. Look at the results then go back to tab one and search the video number(s). Maybe not perfect, but worth a try.
Don't forget among the 'free sites' is www.footbabes.com and www.trample.com which are just like smother with different content. Trample even has facesitting closer to the bottom of the page. Also check out the 'excludsive movies' section at the bottom of the smother.com movies page for more (although lower quality) clips
Hope this helps
Gil

I'm a member of smother.com. I'd have to say it's one of the best sites around. I actually got a free months membership from a guy on this site when I got back from iraq. Ever since then i've been a member. Their girls are all sexy and good at what they do. They update their site all the time with new videos as well. They also have girl on girl facesitting and they don't take it wasy on the girls either. My only complaint(not even a complaint more of a wish) is that they have more girl/girl. Worth every penny!

John...would it possibly work if a Mac user was running a Windows OS from his/her Mac?

Windows Media DRM only works under Windows Media Player 9+ for Windows.

Smartypants lantern is correct.. :)

And Heckron, gosh darn it! When are you going to create a store at www.fetishvideos.com so your thumbs start showing up in threads? :)

John, did you programme the 'GET YOUR CLIPS AT FETISHVIDEOS.COM' but yourself?

It's a nice feature.

John
08-29-2008, 9:59 AM
Nope, I designed it but I'm not smart enough to program it... :D

It will get better, this is the trial run for it...shortly, whenever a poster has a store at fetishvideos, it will pull their thumbs into the thread instead of randomly like it does now...and other cool things... ;)

Is it possible to make it display only facesitting clips in the facesitting forum, trample clips in the trample forum, etc?

Nope, never be fooled...I am quite the dumbass...

Yep, it's not only possible, it's crucial! That should be today.. :matey:

As soon as you stop using phrases like "gosh darn it". Seeing you and that phrase in the same vicinity just makes me cringe and question the nature of the universe. ;)

If I see "gee willickers!" in your next post I'm just going to assume hell has frozen over. :D

It would probably be a good idea to look into that soon actually :)

Well, golly! I sure as heckfire would love for you to open a store today...cuz shucks, it's embarrassing when one of your lead moderators doesn't have one! hehehe ;)

Thanks! It will be swell to have you in there... :matey:
