When I was a college student, I worked the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store and secretly thumbed through issues of Genesis Magazine. These days, you can only access Genesis Magazine online. About a decade or so ago, they stopped publishing the print version, which was initially launched in 1973.
You will find 763 videos and 1099 photo sets. As a member, you also have access to the other 18 Swank Pass network sites, including D Cup, Plumpers And BW, Leg Action, and Black Lust.
While most of the network's sites no longer have corresponding magazines on newsstands, you might still find Swank Mag in print. And you can check out digitized back issues and several others as part of your membership. They give you a sense of old-school excitement, flipping through the glossy pages of adult magazines.
If you remain a member for at least five days, you can access some video feeds. Now, if you haven't been watching porn as long as I have, you may not know what a video feed even is. They're collections of streaming porn usually based on a theme, like Asian schoolgirls or poolside action. I hadn't seen them offered as a bonus in a long time, so it makes sense that the ones I checked out looked dated. But they worked, and their classic porn vibe will appeal to some people.
You can stream and download most of the videos, and nearly 50 movies are in 1080p. Many sites have started to charge extra for downloads, so it seems like a positive if a membership includes them. And given how some of the scenes border on classic porn, the fact that you're getting some in Full HD is also a positive.
Some of the content on the network's other sites is different content from what was shown in the magazine. But Genesis Magazine stays true to its roots. They always gave you a mix of solo, lesbian , and hardcore hookups, including interracial and group sex, and you'll find all those things on the site, too. You'll recognize plenty of pornstars, like Ava Devine and Gianna Michaels, but admittedly the content tends to be at least a few years old. Some of the performers have retired at this point.
You've got some helpful navigational tools on hand, like an advanced search, category filters, and tags, with the option to suggest your own. Favorites and feedback options make it easy to track what you like and have discussions with other members. The model index has stats and bios, and you can rate the girls.
They offer solid customer support options, and cancelation is as easy as filling out a form. Their FAQ helps with other issues, and you can contact them via email, live chat, and phone (a toll-free number in North America). Nevertheless, if you run into any hiccups, never hesitate to connect with us, and our team will help you out.
I always appreciate it when you have more than one payment method available, and in this case, you can join using the standard credit card option or PayPal . And whichever you choose, you'll have access to our Genesis Magazine discount.
Considering I mentioned a limited number of Full HD scenes, you may have already guessed that it's because most of the videos are in SD files. And while many have decent bit rates and look crisp, there's no getting away from the fact that people expect better. Even if the productions are not the newest, I'd think they at least had more of them in HD rather than SD.
Given that the content borders on retro at times and most of it isn't in HD, it probably comes as no surprise that I suspect they're rotating content. Even though the collection grew by dozens of videos and photos since our last visit, the increase is significantly smaller than you'd expect given the weekly updates.
Further complicating the quality issue is that videos lack clear labels. You can only be sure after you've downloaded the file. Adding to that frustration is the daily download limit of 10 videos. This restriction will have you thinking twice before downloading a scene just to get the stats.
Many of the oldest updates are only available in multiple clips, and each one counts as a full-length video. So in some cases, it will take a couple of days to download all the parts. And unlike the more recent additions, they often lack a streaming option.
Even if you've got all the usability features you could want, some of the filters return zero results. And I don't mean just the ones for the more obscure categories. I got nothing when I selected Blowjob, even though I saw plenty of related thumbnails. The same issue happens with some of the advanced search options.
The biggest problem is that the site isn't mobile -friendly. Of course, you can still visit it on your phone, but the layout is hard to use on a small screen because the text and images appear so small. And it's impractical to zoom in to read or try to use a dropdown menu.
If you're into classic porn, this collection will hold some appeal, and it can be fun to flip through the library of digitized print editions of the magazine. But the quality of the videos and the lack of a mobile-responsive design leaves a lot to be desired. Still, with our discount it's less than $10 for the first month so if you're looking to take a drive down memory lane, it might be worth it for some of you.
