Review: Ass Titans

Fans of butt-centric action will find plenty to enjoy at the recently launched AssTitans.com.
The standard of quality for membership sites has increased a lot over the past few years, and in my opinion, a site has to offer a few basics to be worth my money, namely:
• Exclusive content, and lots of it.
• Flash videos. These are the ones you can stream and watch instantly in your browser.
• Downloadable movie files.
• High-quality photos in an easy-to-navigate interface.
Of these four, AssTitans has three and a half. The company behind the site, a newish adult affiliate company called SexAndCash.com, tapped longtime director Raul Cristian to helm all the scenes. Personally, I like the idea of choosing one director for an entire site's content. Not only does it unify the look and feel of the movies, but it also unifies the kink of the movies.
Here's what I mean: Naturally, Christian's scenes focus on butt play and anal sex in general, but he also includes a healthy amount of female-on-male domination and some kinky sex toys, from the usual fare to a smattering of head-mounted mouth dildos; collars and leashes; and (for some reason) goofy-looking superhero costumes.
All of this adds a tang of BDSM to the site. Now, I'm a breast man – I don't know if dominant women are a common theme in butt-worship – but it's a distinct choice, and I like seeing that.
It's a handsome-looking site, with slick design that offers up the movies in a large Flash format that includes a great-looking fullscreen option. Users can only download the movies in WMV format – I hope they'll add the superior Quicktime format in the future. High-res photos and lower-res screenshots are available with most of the scenes.
All told, users get more than 40 movies across the site. About half of these include the photos and screenshots. The rest are called "bonus movies" and can be access through a link at the bottom of the main page.
Here's my one complaint: AssTitans costs $29.95 per month. That's almost a reasonable price for a site that features exclusive content, but in today's market, it's a little pricey, especially because the membership only comes with one site.
The creative team behind AssTitans told XFANZ that they plan to launch a bunch of other sites in other niches this year – and that bodes well, because AssTitans also includes some basic interactive features. Users can comment on scenes and build a favorites list. I'd like to see those features expanded into a larger community. Maybe they could even get the stars involved in the commenting process. Just a thought.
That said, I happily recommend AssTitans. The overall network of sites will hopefully expand, and porn fans who like a good, interactive experience with top-shelf talent might want to get in on the ground floor of a growing company.
