5 shows to see at Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival

Traveling with puppets is difficult. Just ask any of the participants of the fifth Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, opening Wednesday and featuring artists from across the globe performing at venues across Chicago.

Or ask New York’s Basil Twist, whose intricate, dazzling “Dogugaeshi” was supposed be a centerpiece of the 2022 festival. Instead, the production’s more than 500 hand-painted sliding screens were stranded in Germany, victim of a snarled supply chain.

“The show travels by ship,” said Twist, explaining the preferred mode of overseas travel for puppetry artists. Flying their heavy, often oversized creations is exorbitantly expensive and, even were cost not a factor, the one-of-a-kind, handmade puppets and sets are too delicate to survive the rough-and-tumble journey of checked baggage.

“It’s been through the Panama Canal three times. But getting to Chicago last year from Germany in time? That was impossible. This year? We’re doing it,” Twist said.

Twist’s production will join the others converging on the fest, which opens with Plexis Polaire’s “Moby Dick,” the French company’s moody spectacle featuring whales large enough to fill your entire field of vision and details so intricate you can pick out the scars and tattoos on Captain Ahab’s doomed crew.

Manual Cinema’s “Frankenstein,” acclaimed when it premiered at Court Theatre in 2018, closes the festival.

In between, there are exhibits, art installations, films, workshops and an array of shows that range from kid-friendly (The Gottabees’ playful “A Squirrel Stole My Underpants”) to wildly surreal (the melting ice marionettes of Theatre de L’Entrouvert’s “Anywhere”) to tales rooted in history (Theodora Skipitares’ “Grand Panorama” explores Frederick Douglass’ fascination with photography) to the fraught state of Brazilian politics (“Macunaima Gourmet” from Brazil’s Pigmali?o Escultura que Mexe).

“With Omicron surging and supply chain issues, our compromise last year was not to have any international artists, so that was a very different festival,” Smith said.

This year, the puppets are converging on Chicago from South Africa to Norway. Below, a quintet of shows to check out during this month’s 12 days of puppetry.

A commission from the Japanese Society, Dogugaeshi is created with sliding screens that open — think Russian nesting dolls by way of a kaleidoscope — to reveal images within image within image. Strains from both East (the stringed shamisen) and West (Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” in an arrangement by Twist’s father) provide a soundscape.

“For centuries, dogugaeshi artists traveled on boats to different islands, kind of like a circus,” Twist said. “Every time I visit my storage space, I am astounded by how they moved the show. It’s just so massive. It’s also contemplative, almost like a meditation.”

Czechia’s Naive Theatre has been producing for more than 70 years, making it one of the oldest companies at the fest. Its production is a love story centered on dogs riding model trains.

“We came across articles about dogs that can travel by train, by themselves, and always know when to get off and how to get home. This is how the idea was born — that the traveler will be a small dog and the reason for his brave journey will be, as usual, love,” said the theater’s Michaela Homolov?.

‘Invitation to a Beheading’ — The Rough House Theater Co., Chicago

Inspired by Nabokov’s novel about a teacher condemned to death, the production features “a very real chopping block and a very real axe,” said Rough House co-artistic director Mike Oleon. “It’s a combo of macabre and joyous fun that tackles the darkness of mortality with a sense of glee and openness.

“[It’s] especially well-suited for puppetry and physical theater because it is set in a mindscape in which the rules of reality are constantly shifting.”

Since its acclaimed debut in 2018 at Chicago’s Court Theatre, “Frankenstein” has toured from South America to the upper reaches of the Arctic Circle.

“It’s changed significantly since 2018,” said Manual Cinema co-artistic director Sarah Fornace. “It’s tighter, with even more of a focus on Mary Shelley and the baby she lost as a framing device.

“We were inspired by the foreword she wrote to the 1832 edition of the novel. She wrote she was inspired by this dream where ‘I lost my baby, and brought him back by rubbing his limbs.’ “

‘Hamlet’ — Janni Younge Productions, South Africa

Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tale of royalty, murder and revenge is steeped in “words, words, words,” to borrow a snippet of Shakespeare’s dialogue (uttered when the titular prince becomes fed up with language in lieu of action). But Younge’s innovative staging (presented in collaboration with the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center) is wordless, with life-sized puppets tackling the seminal tragedy.

Time off for Bulls veteran DeMar DeRozan has been blessing in disguise

PARIS – DeMar DeRozan doesn’t exactly love interruptions to his regiment.

There’s a flow to an NBA season, and any little disruption in that becomes a distraction.

This week, DeRozan’s willing to make an exception.

It isn’t often that the forward gets to pack up his five kids – four daughters and one son – for an in-season road trip, but that’s exactly what he did for Thursday’s upcoming NBA Paris Game between the Bulls and the Detroit Pistons.

“To be able to be here and experience that as a basketball player is amazing,” DeRozan said. “And then to have my son and my daughters here to witness it is an awesome thing. I’m going to get a feel and experience with them with us having a day off [from practice on Tuesday]. Obviously the Eiffel Tower … just everything about [Paris], trying the food, taking some tea home. Just taking it all in.”

As DeRozan pointed out, not bad for a guy from Compton, who as a boy would have never imagined playing in Paris.

“No, never have I ever, ever [imagined it], so that’s another reason why it’s so cool to even be here,” DeRozan said. “It just shows you how far playing basketball can take you.”

But there is also a basketball side of this week that actually plays in DeRozan’s favor. While he usually would hate playing just one game over a seven-day span, because of his ailing right quadriceps, the schedule works for him in the recovery department.

While DeRozan went down in the third quarter of the Jan. 9 loss in Boston, he had been dealing with soreness with the quad for weeks before that. The Celtics game just compounded it.

DeRozan missed the next three games, watching the Bulls lose to Washington and Oklahoma City, before getting back on track against Golden State on Sunday, but he now has the luxury of another three off days to get the leg right without missing any more games.

If the Bulls did have to play on Tuesday, rather than explore Paris with their families, DeRozan admittedly didn’t know if he could go.

That’s not the case for Thursday.

“For sure, yeah,” DeRozan responded when asked if he was playing.

According to coach Billy Donovan, DeRozan did participate in parts of the light Monday practice, continued getting treatment on Tuesday, and then would really push it in Wednesday’s scheduled practice to make sure that he has no setbacks.

But all indications were the Bulls would have their leading scorer back.

“It’s an experience that’s one of a kind,” DeRozan said. “I’ve been in the league 14 years and I’ve never been to Paris. So to come here and be able to compete, and do something in front of a fan base you don’t get the chance to do something in front of, I don’t take the opportunity for granted one bit. It’s the experience that lasts a lifetime.”

Ball-ing out

While Lonzo Ball (left knee surgery) made the trip to Paris with teammates this week, they might not want to get used to seeing him on the road just yet.

Ball, who was yet to play this season after undergoing a second knee procedure in less than a year back in September, will still continue doing his rehab in Chicago when the team returns on Friday. The trip to France was the exception, with Ball usually able to get more done at the Advocate Center than on the road.

“Obviously I’ve got to work through [discomfort],” Ball said of the process. “There’s going to be pain there because of the surgeries and I’m getting back in and moving things, but I’m just trying to stay positive and move forward.”

AdultFriendFinder review: Is it real? Does it work in 2023? We paid for a membership and can tell you

AdultFriendFinder: Scam or real? Does it work in 2023?

These are questions when signing up for a new hookup site. The goal is to find a legit hookup, not spend hours talking to bots.

Gather round kids, because here’s the tea: Thanks to AdultFriendFinder, also known as AFF, I now have two stable friends-with-benefits who I see on a regular basis. Both are babes and really open-minded. You could say I’ve tried some new things in the bedroom thanks to these women.

But that doesn’t mean that AdultFriendFinder is all rainbows and butterflies. I signed up for a premium membership to take it for a real test drive, and there were a few things to watch out for.

This review will show you all the good and bad that comes along with an AdultFriendFinder membership, and if it’s worth signing up for.

For the people who don’t want to read the full review, I’ve broken down some pros and cons. Keep reading to find out more details about these!

Pros

There are millions of users.
24/7 customer support
Registration is free.
The premium price is not bad.
Fetishes, kinks, and alt lifestyles are all welcome.
People are extremely willing and eager to meet up.
Due to the huge user base, there are lots of locals no matter your location.
Users are extremely open-minded.
You will find someone who wants to hang out immediately, even among some fake profiles.
You can enjoy the app version on your mobile divide.

Cons

Bots, fakes, inactive profiles, and scammers exist.
There are tons of ads.
You won’t get much out of the free version.
Some pages redirect to other companies.
There are plenty of users who aren’t easy on the eyes.
There was a security breach in 2015, but it’s been resolved.
Some argue that it was more effective when it first launched.

Ok, now for the real review…

What’s A Free AdultFriendFinder Membership Like?

I’m going to be honest here, you’re not going to be able to hook up with anyone by registering for a free membership. But because AdultFriendFinder is so much more than just a hookup site, there’s still a lot you can do.

For instance, you can join adult chat rooms or watch live sex cam girls. Just be advised that some of these “extra features” that AdultFriendFinder provides will just lead you to another website.

As a free member, you will also get a feel for the lay of the land and be able to receive messages. Find out who is online, who lives nearby, and who some of AdultFriendFinder’s hottest members are. You can also get detailed information from everyone’s profile and narrow your search by the age and gender filters.

I remained a free member for an hour and got some messages. Most of the women who sent the messages weren’t that hot. With 80 million members and counting, it’s no surprise that the users aren’t all supermodels. I’m not much of a looker either, though. Plus, I’d rather meet a DTF woman than one who isn’t but is walking down the runway. That’s where AdultFriendFinder can really deliver.

But there were a few profiles that really piqued my interest. I received messages like, “All I want is a nice bang and I’ll be on my way.” In order to message back, I had to upgrade my membership.

What’s A Gold Membership Like?

Yes, I bit the bullet and went Gold. Several friends told me it was a good idea because they actually found hookups through the site. For that reason, I bought the entire year because it was the best value. $14.95 per month comes to as little as $0.50 per day. It’s way less than a cup of joe and totally worth it. AdultFriendFinder doesn’t accept Paypal or cryptocurrency. You can use Mastercard, Discover, or Visa. Here’s the pricing breakdown:

$14.95 a month for 12 months or $180
$19.95 a month for six months or $90
$24.95 a month

The moment I signed up for AdultFriendFinder’s membership plan, I was introduced to hundreds of women who were nearby, online, and wanted some action. Again, they weren’t all gorgeous, but that’s OK with me. I started getting messages almost immediately.

Some also felt suspiciously like bots. You can tell that someone is a bot if they don’t speak naturally or respond insanely fast. But others were from actual real women who genuinely wanted to get off with a nearby stranger, and I wanted to be that stranger.

I have a pretty unique type. I love women who have a large bust, are thick, and have blue eyes. Ok, so not that unique. Luckily AdultFriendFinder has a very specific advanced search that makes finding someone who is your type very easy. You can also use it to find couples and groups to meet up with.

Here’s a snippet of how detailed you can get. . . and that’s not even half of it.

After selecting the traits that turned me on, I began my hunt for the perfect friend-with-benefits. This might come as a shock, but I’m not a one-night-stand type of guy. Don’t get me wrong, I love casual sex as much as the next person. But I like to have an ongoing sexual relationship because I like getting really comfortable with another person and experimenting with kinkier sex as time goes on. I hoped and prayed that AdultFriendFinder would grant me a compatible friend-with-benefits.

Guess what? Within a couple of days, I got two.

Using AdultFriendFinder To Actually Hook UpI’ll explain to you how it went down for me. I got a ton of messages from horny locals who weren’t really turning me on. There were some swingers thrown into the mix as well, but nothing that was really making me sweat (AFF does a double as a swingers site, but it’s not my thing). Until I came across a message from Jessica.

Before I could even meet up with her, I spotted another blue-eyed beauty named Whitegirldtfsum1. Spoiler alert: we hooked up the day after I had sex with Jessica.

Now I see Jessica and Whitegirldtfsum1 regularly. I am currently working towards getting them in bed with me at the same time. Fingers crossed!

So, Is It Legit?

I’m not surprised that some folks on the Internet are quick to call AdultFriendFinder a scam. With millions of members and new people joining by the minute, there are bound to be some unhappy customers. Not everyone knows how to use the Internet to get laid, or what to look out for from people who actually do use AdultFriendFinder to scam people.

There are certainly some misgivings and some people who use AdultFriendFinder for their own sick schemes. But if you’re smart, the site will get you laid. Again, AdultFriendFinder is not the holy grail of hookup sites, but it’s pretty darn close.

To get the most out of AdultFriendFinder, keep the following things in mind:

Look Out For Scammers: There will always be people on the Internet who want your money or information. They will try to take advantage of you when you are at your most vulnerable. . . like looking for a hookup. Don’t ever give personal information out to people on AdultFriendFinder. They have no use for it—unless they are trying to scam! If a match says any of the following, they are probably trying to scam you:
“I need money because I am sick.”
“I have legal issues, can you help me with those?”
“I have a ton of money in a secure account overseas, but I need a bit of money to get it out.”
“My friend died and I don’t know how to pay for the funeral.”
Beware Of Bots: The truth is, you’ll encounter a lot of bots with the free membership on AdultFriendFinder. They are easy to identify, but you want to stay away from them. They are a total waste of time. They will send you a generic opener like, “Hey big boy, looking for a good time?” It might be tempting, but there’s no point in entertaining this.
Ditch Dead Profiles: Dead profiles are abandoned or inactive profiles. AdultFriendFinder isn’t that good at getting rid of these, so keep that in mind when you’re fishing for a hottie.
Ignore The Ads: There are ads on AdultFriendFinder. If you ignore them and don’t click on them, you’ll have a smooth ride on the website!
Know What You Want: If what you want from AdultFriendFinder is a hookup, you’re in good hands. That’s what AdultFriendFinder does best—hook up two horny users! There are so many people using the site that finding a partner, companion, or quickie is as easy as stealing candy from a baby.
Educate Yourself On Catfishes: There are so many people who hop onto AdultFriendFinder regularly. There’s no major way to verify who is catfishing you and who isn’t. AdultFriendFinder does its best by requesting photo verification. That’s awesome! But people are smart. Through photoshop or sheer photo theft, someone can pretend to be much more attractive than they are in real life. We’ll be honest, not everyone who uses AdultFriendFinder is a supermodel, so keep an eye out for the catfishes. They are frequent on almost every dating site and hookup app. Also beware that adult sites like these can actually hire their own staff to act as models that live nearby. This is another form of a catfish. AdultFriendFinder has been known to do this in the past, but now they have so many users that they don’t have to. Here are some ways to tell if someone is a catfish:
They won’t video chat
Their photos are of different people
Their photos look fake or photoshopped
Understand Who The Models Are On AdultFriendFinder: If what you’re looking for is a model, then visit the Live-Action section of the site! This is where you can watch hot models perform for you in real time using their webcams.

Is AdultFriendFinder Safe?Back in 2015, AdultFriendFinder got into some trouble due to a large data breach. They have since implemented some of the best security systems offered and there have not been any privacy or security issues since that one in 2015. In fact, due to the stress caused by the 2015 breach, AdultFriendFinder has gone out of its way to make itself one of the safest and most secure hookup sites on the web, implementing the most secure encryption systems.

Final Thoughts About AdultFriendFinderHere’s the thing—no hookup site is perfect. AdultFriendFinder is almost there, but not quite. There are ads, there are some bots, and the users aren’t all smoke shows. But AdultFriendFinder is one of the best hookup sites because it works! Plus, it’s so quick and easy. The Gold membership is definitely worth two quarters a day for me. I am reminded of this with each casual hookup session that was brought to me by AdultFriendFinder.

What’s The Live-Action Section?

The Live-Action section on AdultFriendFinder is a whole lot of fun, but it won’t actually get you laid. This section is for webcam models who want to show you the goods, hoping you’ll pay so they can get a Chanel bag or pay their student loans. Many of the rooms are near empty, so you can definitely get the model’s attention without fighting through a ton of horny users, but these girls aren’t going to meet up with you.

The only chance you have at meeting any of these models in person is by following their social media pages that they’ve got outside of AdultFriendFinder. This is easy to do as many of the models list their socials right there on the page. If you aren’t a total ogre, you may as well try your luck!

The Live-Action section also doesn’t discriminate. You can view men, women, trans people, pansexual people, couples, threesomes, solo sessions, and more. The shows are of pretty high quality with a nice set and great production value.

The bottom line with webcam models is that they want to be paid, but they also love being showered with attention. If you play your cards right, you could get the webcam models to perform all sorts of seductive acts without dropping major stacks on the performance itself. But, it’s always worth paying the webcam model. They will work harder, utilize their skillset to the fullest potential, and it’s just the right thing to do.

How To Use AdultFriendFinder To Find A HookupFinding The Right Partner on AFF:

When you get your membership, you’ll be led through a series of questions that help AdultFriendFinder assess your personality and match you. It’s ideal for both short-term hookups and long-term partners. From there, you can make selections about your preference in a partner. Again, so many people use AdultFriendFinder, so narrowing down will help you save tremendous amounts of time. You will be shown profiles of folks who live in your area, so that you don’t have to buy a plane ticket or spend money on gas just to get your freak on.

AdultFriendFinder also has a Purity Test. This is a test that determines how “pure” (or prude) you are. It might seem like a lot of hooey, but this test will help you figure out how far you’ve gone sexually and how far you’re willing to go. It will then introduce you to folks who can satisfy your sexual urges.

Adult Dating Tips:Your hookup journey starts with a good conversation starter. If you aren’t sure what to talk about, take a look at our infographic helping you figure out what to say to actually get a sexy person in the bed with you! Don’t be too eager or creepy. The key is to find the balance between casual and sexual. If you’re too nervous to make the first chat or consider yourself an introvert, you can use AdultFriendFinder’s icebreaker messages or send a virtual gift! These can come in the form of everything from emojis to real gifts.

How To Meet In Person:Ok, so you’ve finally met someone who doesn’t look like a gremlin, who is horny, and who doesn’t have a personality that resembles stale toast. Congratulations! Now you’ve got to master that first date or first meetup. Here are some of the do’s and don’ts of a first-time meet up!

The Gold membership is definitely worth two quarters a day for me. I am reminded of this with each casual hookup session that was brought to me by AdultFriendFinder.

What’s The Live-Action Section?

The Live-Action section on AdultFriendFinder is a whole lot of fun, but it won’t actually get you laid. This section is for webcam models who want to show you the goods, hoping you’ll pay so they can get a Chanel bag or pay their student loans. Many of the rooms are near empty, so you can definitely get the model’s attention without fighting through a ton of horny users, but these girls aren’t going to meet up with you.

The only chance you have at meeting any of these models in person is by following their social media pages that they’ve got outside of AdultFriendFinder. This is easy to do as many of the models list their socials right there on the page. If you aren’t a total ogre, you may as well try your luck!

The Live-Action section also doesn’t discriminate. You can view men, women, trans people, pansexual people, couples, threesomes, solo sessions, and more. The shows are of pretty high quality with a nice set and great production value.

The bottom line with webcam models is that they want to be paid, but they also love being showered with attention. If you play your cards right, you could get the webcam models to perform all sorts of seductive acts without dropping major stacks on the performance itself. But, it’s always worth paying the webcam model. They will work harder, utilize their skillset to the fullest potential, and it’s just the right thing to do.

How To Use AdultFriendFinder To Find A HookupFinding The Right Partner on AFF:

When you get your membership, you’ll be led through a series of questions that help AdultFriendFinder assess your personality and match you. It’s ideal for both short-term hookups and long-term partners. From there, you can make selections about your preference in a partner. Again, so many people use AdultFriendFinder, so narrowing down will help you save tremendous amounts of time. You will be shown profiles of folks who live in your area, so that you don’t have to buy a plane ticket or spend money on gas just to get your freak on.

AdultFriendFinder also has a Purity Test. This is a test that determines how “pure” (or prude) you are. It might seem like a lot of hooey, but this test will help you figure out how far you’ve gone sexually and how far you’re willing to go. It will then introduce you to folks who can satisfy your sexual urges.

Adult Dating Tips:Your hookup journey starts with a good conversation starter. If you aren’t sure what to talk about, take a look at our infographic helping you figure out what to say to actually get a sexy person in the bed with you! Don’t be too eager or creepy. The key is to find the balance between casual and sexual. If you’re too nervous to make the first chat or consider yourself an introvert, you can use AdultFriendFinder’s icebreaker messages or send a virtual gift! These can come in the form of everything from emojis to real gifts.

How To Meet In Person:Ok, so you’ve finally met someone who doesn’t look like a gremlin, who is horny, and who doesn’t have a personality that resembles stale toast. Congratulations! Now you’ve got to master that first date or first meetup. Here are some of the do’s and don’ts of a first-time meet up!

1.  Brazzers – Best overall

Brazzers goes back to 2015 and has major name recognition. It’s now part of a porn empire (Mindgeek) that includes Redtube and Pornhub, well-known free porn sites.

You can get all the porn you’ll ever need with one Brazzers subscription, as they have a network of 30+ sites and nearly 2,000 pornstars. It’s honestly mind-boggling levels of porn. Trust us, you won’t need anything else.

The only real downsides are that Brazzers will keep trying to encourage you to upgrade, and their user interface isn’t as great as you’d expect from such a big player.

Pros:

Huge network (30+ sites)
Lots of exclusive content
Top pornstars

Cons:

User interface disappoints
Video quality varies on older content

2.  Reality Kings – Most reliable

RealityKings is another household name (or at least frat household name) with a massive content library. Just like with Brazzers, you can count on finding your favorite pornstars with frequent updates and all kinds of categories.

Even better, RealityKings offers a $1 trial that gives you a great sense of what they offer without breaking the bank.

One drawback to RealityKings is that it has some sites in its network that are kind of stale or not really kept up with. Plus, older scenes aren’t always in HD quality.

Pros:

Well organized
Massive content library
$1 trial

Cons:

$9.99 per month only if you pay in advance for the whole year
Old, outdated sites in its network

3.  Mofos – Best “reality” scenes

Mofos is more of an up-and-comer relative to Brazzers and RealityKings, but it’s still been around for a good minute. Where Mofos really delivers is with “reality” scenes—you know, where the stepmom is stuck in the washer, or a neighbor needs to borrow sugar, that kind of thing.

But to their credit, Mofos does it well, and you’re not likely to exhaust their huge supply of content. Plus, all their scenes are in HD.

One downside to Mofos is that their home page is a tad overwhelming. You also can’t search videos using tags, which would be a nice feature.

Pros:

High-quality video production
Great “reality” and POV content
Pornstars and up-and-coming actors

Cons:

Search options limited
Home page kind of messy

4.  BangBros – Best sex

BangBros is another popular premium porn site. It’s earned its reputation through years and years of consistently putting out high-quality videos with all of the top pornstars.

When we say they’re consistent, we mean it. They’ve put out more than—wait for it—15,000 videos. That means BangBros can easily be a one-stop shop for all your porn needs. This is in part due to their empire of 50+ sites.

BangBros offers competitive pricing, lots of value, and 4K video quality. There’s a lot to like there. The only major drawback is that some of their network sites are not included, which is a bit disappointing depending on what you’re into.

Pros:

Top pornstars
50+ site access
4K quality

Cons:

Not all BangBros sites included at basic price
Content lacking somewhat in originality

5.  PureTaboo – Best kinky content

PureTaboo brings the heat and plenty of kink with their premium videos. If some of the sites reviewed above are a bit mainstream or too “vanilla” for you, then PureTaboo may be more your speed.

With PureTaboo you can count on some real wild scenes with out-there storylines and naughty action. The video quality and sex are both top-notch, and there’s honestly not much to criticize PureTaboo for. If you’re kinky, you’ll almost certainly love it.

Pros:

High-quality content
Sexy models
Super kinky

Cons:

Somewhat niche and out there at times

6.  Naughty America – Best mainstream content

NaughtyAmerica has been around forever, since 2001 in fact. This site is unabashedly mainstream, appealing to Americans’ most common fantasies—think teacher-student, stepmom, milf, etc.

With NaughtyAmerica you can count on an insanely huge content library with lots of 4K videos (for newer content). There are 30+ sites included and even VR porn is included.

NaughtyAmerica is a great all-ar0und pick, though you may notice that it tends to be very white and mainstream. More diversity would be a plus.

Pros:

Massive content library
Delivers on classic fantasies
4K HD

Cons:

Occasional ads even when paying
Not super diverse models

7.  TeamSkeet – Best teen content

TeamSkeet is a relatively newer player in the premium porn game, but they are a very welcome addition. They specialize in young, kinky girls. If watching girls display daddy issues is your thing, then you’ll absolutely love it here.

With TeamSkeet, you get a large network (40+ sites), many of whose sites specialize in teen content. If you want a large collection of downloadable teen porn videos, then you’re not likely to have any issues with TeamSkeet.

The only real downside is their mediocre search features and user interface.

Pros:

Downloadable videos
Large network and huge video collection
Top option for teen content

Cons:

User interface and search features aren’t great

8.  EvilAngel – Most longevity

EvilAngel goes back to the 90’s, when your dad may have had one of their VHS tapes. Fortunately, EvilAngel has stuck around, ensuring that its hardcore anal porn can satisfy users all over the internet.

If you’re a fan of hardcore anal, EvilAngel will likely give you everything you need. Since it’s been around forever, you can count on them to keep delivering high-quality content. They’ve also got great search features and stay up with the latest in porn innovations.

Pros:

Top search features
High-quality content

Cons:

Can give you some issues if you use an adblocker

9.  Vixen – Best models

Vixen was started by Greg Lansky, who created many of the top porn sites in the industry today (including Blacked and Tushy). You can count on Vixen and these other sites to have amazing, well-shot 4K videos. There’s an attention to detail and aesthetics often missing with other sites.

Getting around the site is a breeze, and time and attention has clearly been put into those small details as well. The only drawback with Vixen is that you can’t use “ctrl+click” to open a new tab. This is frustrating if you like to easily open up a few videos at once.

Pros:

Artistic and high-quality content
Intuitive site design
Stunning models

Cons:

Doesn’t accommodate “ctrl+click”

10.  OnlyFans – Best for interaction

OnlyFans is one of the newest players in the game and is different from the other sites listed here. As you probably know, OnlyFans is a site where individuals can sell subscriptions and post whatever they (and their fans) want.

Well, lots of pornstars and celebrities have created X-rated OnlyFans pages. Many people appreciate this way of accessing porn because they are directly supporting one individual and there is a highly interactive aspect as well.

The downside is that OnlyFans can be rather costly compared to the other sites reviewed here, and you’re relying on the person you follow to keep posting.

Pros:

Highly interactive
Allows more direct support of models

Cons:

Can get expensive (generally less value)

11.  Family Strokes – Best for “step” content

It doesn’t take long looking at any given free porn site to see how popular “step” content is—you know, stepbrother, stepmom, etc. This gives people a taboo vibe while technically not being incest.

FamilyStrokes offers one of the best premium porn sites for this kind of thing. If you like this niche, then you’ll be in good hands here. They have hot scenes, sexy models, and a nice user interface.

Pros:

Kinky storylines
Top names in the industry

Cons:

Missing some typical features

12.  Babes – Best European

Babes is full of babes, who’d’ve thunk it? You can count on stunning woman after stunning woman here, in every different kind of category, from softcore to hardcore. There are also lots of picture galleries as well if that’s your thing. You can count on seeing a lot of the sexiest European women in the industry.

One nice feature is that you can get bonus access to other sites for free or a discount. One drawback is that it costs extra for downloading. This may or may not be a dealbreaker depending on if you’re trying to download videos to have on the go.

Pros:

All kinds of women, especially European
Bonus access available for cheap or free

Cons:

Downloading costs extra

13.  Digital Playground – Most variety

DigitalPlayground wins points right off the bat for having a creative name (unlike Babes.com). After all, porn should be a bit like a playground (without the kids, obviously). On this front, DigitalPlayground really delivers, with amazing high-quality videos in every genre you can think of.

They’ve also been around since the 1990s, meaning you can pretty much count on them to stick around if you’re thinking about a year-long subscription. The only real downside is that they try to upsell additional content.

Pros:

Huge amount of content
Sexy videos, including parodies

Cons:

Upsell for extra content
Some ads

14.  Milfed – Best milf content

If you’re a fan of milfs, look no further because MILFED delivers all the milf content you can dream of. You can count on all the best mature pornstars, top production quality, and good range of categories. There are about 1,200 videos currently in their library, which means you should be set for quite some time.

The only real drawback to MILFED is that there is no download option.

Pros:

Best mature pornstars
Large, consistently updated library

Cons:

No downloading

15.  Blacked – Best for BBC

If you’re into BBC’s going deep into white women, then Blacked is for you. You can find all the biggest dicks in the industry and all the top models taking them. There’s plenty of exclusive content that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

We like what we like, and if interracial porn is your thing, then Blacked will definitely be a top choice. If you don’t, well, it’s not likely to be your thing.

Pros:

Leader in interracial porn
Exclusive content
Top models

Cons:

Relatively niche (you’ll like it or you won’t)

16.  Dogfart – Best interracial

Owner of undoubtedly the worst name in porn, Dogfart nevertheless delivers a high-quality porn site, particularly if you are into Black, Latin, and/or interracial content.

DogFart is far from traditional, mainstream porn that features white actor after white actor. It also offers 4K quality and a large network of 22 sites. You’ll have plenty of content, in other words.

Pros:

Top site for interracial porn
4K quality
Large network

Cons:

Somewhat niche (interracial genre)

17.  Nubile Films – Best production quality

The word “nubile” generally refers to a woman as sexually attractive and/or “old enough.” With Nubile Films, this is exactly what you get: the most gorgeous 18+ models.

With an eye for sensuous and artistic production, Nubile Films has won many fans over the years. They are also a model of consistency, with frequent updates.

Pros:

Elegant site design
Beautiful models and production value

Cons:

Nothing really

18.  Tiny4K – Best for petite content

Some people really love petite content. If that’s you, then Tiny4K is probably all you’ll need. It has super-hot and tiny sluts taking on big ‘ol dicks, all in 4K definition. It’s hard to go wrong if this is your thing.

One downside is that it’s less diverse than many of the other sites reviewed here, and the content library is also smaller than most.

Pros:

Hot sex and hot models
4K quality

Cons:

Somewhat niche
Relatively low value compared to other sites

19.  PassionHD – Most passionate

PassionHD has a fitting name. Why? Because they really bring the passion, and they do it all in HD. You can count on sensuous, erotic content in the most stunning detail. What’s not to like?

PassionHD gives you gorgeous models in sensuous settings, and there’s even a free trial. The only drawback is that there are some ads, which is always a little frustrating when you’re a paying customer.

Pros:

High-quality production value
Gorgeous models

Cons:

Some ads

20.  MYLF – Best for cougar content

We’ve already covered MILFED, but here’s another premium milf site for those of you who just can’t get enough. If mature women are your thing, MYLF is going to be right up your alley. You get access to a good handful of sites, and new scenes are added daily, giving you good value for your money (or bang for your buck, ba-dum-tsk).

Keeping MYLF from being one of our top picks is the fact that it’s somewhat niche, downloads cost extra, and some content is upsold.

Pros:

Some of the best milfs around
Growing network with solid content library
Daily updates

Cons:

Downloads cost extra
Upsold content

21.  Private.com – Best multilingual content

Private offers a ton of European content. If you speak multiple languages, or just enjoy the exotic feel of models speaking languages other than English, you’ll love Private.com.

With tons of sexy Euro pornstars, a wide range of content, and a massive video library, Private.com offers great value.

Pros:

The hottest European pornstars
Varied content
Massive library with downloads included

Cons:

Nothing really

22.  New Sensations – Best downloadable

NewSensations brings the new content you need to the old, familiar sensations that you give yourself during your alone time. And there’s a lot here to like: 4K content, downloadable videos, top pornstars, and lots of membership features.

While it costs about the same as other top premium porn sites, NewSensations truly delivers. You can even see when new videos will be uploaded, allowing you to get hyped like it’s the Netflix of porn.

The only real downside is that it is fairly costly. Worth it, though, in our opinion.

Pros:

4k quality
Downloadable videos
All the best pornstars

Cons:

Slightly costly

23.  ThunderCock – Best for big dicks

Some women really love big cocks. Also known as size queens, these women make up the pornstars featured at ThunderCock.com. While porn in general glorifies big dicks, this site makes it their personal mission.

If you’re a fan of big dicks, top pornstars, and good bang for your buck, ThunderCock is worth checking out. The only drawback is their payment page is somewhat disingenuous and will try to get you to purchase additional memberships. Yep, pretty lame.

Pros:

Top pornstars
Huge dicks
Backed by NaughtyAmerica

Cons:

Be careful checking out

24.  HardX – Best for celebrity pornstars

If you love watching the biggest pornstars around, then HardX is a good option for you. They’ve been around a while (since 2005), and they’ve recruited all the top pornstars over the years.

Other big benefits to HardX is the access you get to additional sites, 4k quality, and frequent updates. The only downside is that it costs about as much as the other top premium porn sites.

Pros:

Sister site access
Top-quality stars and content

Cons:

A little expensive

25.  Bang.com – Best for premium content

Bang.com definitely scored with their domain name, and they succeed in making high-quality content that rivals the best in the business. You get access to a large network, meaning tons of videos in all different genres.

While Bang.com largely delivers premium video goodness, it’s not quite one of our top picks due to a few drawbacks, including lackluster site design and a lack of features for the basic membership.

Pros:

Highest-quality videos
Top stars

Cons:

Limited features
Site design lacking

26.  Deeper.com – Most intimate

Deeper takes you, well, a bit deeper into the more artful side of porn. This is more of a boutique site, which means less content. Sometimes, though, less is more, as Deeper really delivers high-quality hardcore content. They have a lot of kinky stuff, and the models are always super sexy.

The only real downside to Deeper is that you may find yourself wishing there were more content.

Pros:

Extremely high quality
Good for fans of kinky content

Cons:

Smaller content library

27.  DeepLush – Most authentic

DeepLush is produced by Owen Grey, one of porn’s most enduring and recognizable performers, with his many tattoos and chest scarified like he already had an autopsy. Grey is known for his sensual woman-pleasing, and DeepLush delivers a whole lot of that.

The only downside is that DeepLush, like Deeper, is more of a boutique site. The content library isn’t as vast as many others reviewed here, and you can only count on about one new video per week. That said, the quality is always on point.

Pros:

Top-tier quality scenes
Quality over quantity

Cons:

Relatively small content library

28.  21Naturals – Best natural bodies

21Naturals is all about “the erotic beauty of natural sex.” They aim for an authentic experience where naturally gorgeous faces and bodies are on display in intimate sex scenes. You won’t find over-the-top parodies and milfs with silicone tits bigger than your head. While there are definitely some fake boobs, the majority are natural.

21Naturals is part of 21Sextury, which is one of Europe’s best porn studios. You can count on consistent high-quality content.

Pros:

Huge library
(Mostly) natural bodies
Free trial

Cons:

Not exclusively natural women, despite the name

29.  Hustler – Most old-school

Hustler has kept up with the times, so they’ve moved far past the kind of magazines that you would find hidden in the garage. They’ve got top pornstars and release content just about every other day. Pair that with an extensive content library, and you’ll be in good shape.

You can also pay by Paypal or Bitcoin (in addition to credit card), which is a nice feature.

Pros:

Top pornstars
Frequent uploads

Cons:

Not the most innovative studio

30.  Nympho – Best anal

If you’re a fan of hot, busty women and hardcore anal, then Nympho.com is the site for you. You can count on seeing some of the biggest names in porn as well as plenty of sexy newcomers. There are lots of threesomes with kinky assplay.

Nympho delivers a handful of new scenes each month, and videos are downloadable. It provides one of the better values in the premium hardcore porn world.

Pros:

High-quality hardcore porn
Top pornstars and up-and-comers

Cons:

Not for everyone

31.  PropertySex – Best new talent

If you’re into discovering sexy new pornstars and watching them get dominated, then PropertySex is a great option for you. Each video follows the same basic plot: a young female client gets banged by their real estate agent.

Although the storylines can get a little repetitive, PropertySex delivers high-quality video with some of the best new talent around.

Pros:

$1 trial
Downloadable videos

Cons:

A little repetitive

32.  PornPros – Best hardcore content

With a name like PornPros, it better be good, right? Well, luckily PornPros has consistently delivered top-quality porn for years and years. You can find your favorite pornstars, new talent, and a range of hardcore content.

With frequent updates, downloadable videos, and a $1 trial, PornPros is one of the better overall porn sites around. They also have a huge library and network with more than 3,000 videos and around 20 sites.

Pros:

Huge network
Top stars
Downloadable videos

Cons:

Filtering options could be better

33.  TeensLoveHugeCocks – Best teen couples

TeensLoveHugeCocks is one of those site names that really doesn’t f*ck around. You’re going to get teens (or women that still pass for teens) taking on some of the biggest dicks in porn. If that’s your thing, well, you probably don’t need us to tell you that this is the site for you.

Like many of the sites here, TeensLoveHugeCocks has a $1 trial, which is always a nice option.

Pros:

$1 trial
Backed by Reality Kings

Cons:

Somewhat narrow nice

34.  FakeHub – Best voyeur content

FakeHub doesn’t try too hard to sell you on the “reality” of its videos, which is kind of refreshing to be honest. Their videos are obviously contrived, and they own it. They then deliver on a nice range of content, including from their most popular vehicle, FakeTaxi (pun intended).

Minor downsides are limited picture galleries (though some sites don’t even offer those) and limited search options.

Pros:

Huge content library
Solid network (including FakeTaxi)

Cons:

Limited picture galleries
Limited filtering options

35.  Porn World – Best filtering options

You might not recognize the name Porn World, as it was formerly known as the DDF Network. Despite their new name not having quite the same brand recognition as others reviewed here, Porn World boasts a huge network and some of the hottest Euro porn on the web.

They win extra points for a top-quality search engine and plenty of 4K content.

Pros:

Huge Euro porn network
Best-in-class search and filtering options
Updates almost every day

Cons:

Nothing really

36.  Lubed – Best lube content

If you get off on seeing hot women getting railed while covered in lube, then you can probably stop scrolling. Seriously. Lubed.com has many of the best pornstars in the industry and you can see them all in super wet and messy sex.

They also have a $1 trial in case you want to check it out before committing.

Pros:

Top pornstars
$1 trial
Unlimited downloads

Cons:

Somewhat niche

37.  Kink – Best for hardcore fetish content

Kink.com does not f*ck around. They got that goldmine of a domain name and they have just been running with it. Fans of kinky hardcore sex will love it; people with more vanilla interests should probably look elsewhere.

Kink is a premium service and one of the best on the more kinky side of premium porn sites, so it does cost a bit more than others. But you get what you pay for, as they say.

Pros:

Super high-quality videos
Top pornstars getting kinky

Cons:

Relatively pricey

38.  Vivid – Best parodies

Vivid has been around a long time, and most people who are into porn have likely seen one of their videos. Now part of the Adult Time network, Vivid is known for their high-budget porn parodies—you know, Star Wars, Batman, Thor, etc.

If you enjoy the fun yet sexy vibe of porn parodies, Vivid is a great option for you. There aren’t super frequent video updates, but that’s because they are truly Hollywood-level productions.

Pros:

High production value
Large content library

Cons:

Fewer updates than most sites reviewed here

39.  XEmpire – Best value

The X network is massive, making a subscription to the “XEmpire” a great value. You’ll get all the latest updates to top sites like HardX (reviewed above), LesbianX, EroticaX, and many more. The production value is on point, with sites in the X network winning many of the top AVN awards (the “Oscars of porn,” for those who don’t know).

Thanks to all these sites, you’ll get 4-5 updates per week, which will definitely keep you occupied.

Pros:

Huge network
Long videos

Cons:

None really

40.  Twistys – Best lesbian content

Twistys is all about creating and hosting the hottest lesbian content on the internet. Sometimes known as “lesbian glam porn,” the kind of content on Twistys has sleek production and the hottest bi and lesbian pornstars.

Pros for Twistys include a large content library and mobile-friendly site. Downsides include the fact that none of the videos are in 4K and downloads aren’t an option.

Pros:

Gorgeous models
Sensual videos

Cons:

No downloads
No 4K

41.  FantasyMassage – Best for massage

Let’s be real, has anyone not fantasized about an erotic massage? There’s something so sensual and sexy about it. Well, if you’re fan of erotic massage, Fantasy Massage delivers the goods. You can count on more than 2,000 videos, plus access to the Adult Time network.

The only real downside is that it’s pretty niche, but hey, you wouldn’t sign up if you weren’t okay with that.

Pros:

Large library (Adult Time network)
High-quality video

Cons:

Somewhat niche

42.  PervCity – Best group sex

PervCity isn’t just a site but a network. This means that you can count on more than 1,000 scenes. The video quality is always full HD, and the fact it’s a network means there’s a lot of variety.

They’ve begun filming in 4K, but this library isn’t that robust yet. Updates are frequent, though, so it will keep building up fast.

Pros:

Unlimited downloads
Network access

Cons:

Not the most creative or innovative network

43.  Wankz – Most original content

Wankz.com is also a porn network, meaning that you can get plenty of hot videos covering all kinds of different categories (teen, milf, DP, threesome, etc.). There are more than 60 sites included, so it’s hard to imagine anyone getting bored.

The only downside is that Wankz doesn’t seem as committed to new updates as other networks, perhaps because they have such an extensive library already. You can add WankzVR, one of the best VR sites, for $10 more per month.

Pros:

Massive network
4K videos
WankzVR as an add-on

Cons:

Less frequent updates than others

44.  Bellesa – Best for women

Bellesa delivers hot porn with a female focus. It’s made by women, for women. Think less “rough hardcore gangbang” and more “female worship.” There’s lots of eating out and passionate making out. It’s full of top pornstars doing what they do best.

Fortunately, Bellesa offers frequent sales so that you can get this premium porn on the cheap if your timing is right.

Pros:

Often more sensual content
Frequent sales

Cons:

Somewhat niche
Not a lot of long videos

45.  Spizoo – Best bonus features

Spizoo is a relatively small network (4 sites) that boasts a large amount of content (2,000+ videos). They have top pornstars, good variety, and top video quality (new videos in 4K). Unlimited downloading and a top user interface make this one of the best premium porn sites around.

One downside is that you have to carefully read the fine print when signing up, as the largest price listed is per month or per day rather than the price you’re paying upfront. (To be fair, though, it’s always important to sign up carefully with porn sites.)

Pros:

Solid network and good value
4K

Cons:

Slightly deceptive pricing listed

46.  Videobox – Best for immersive content

VideoBox is a bit different from most of these other sites. Instead of one site or network that’s actively producing content, it simply hosts a huge collection of full-length porn DVDs. Compared to buying those DVDs, it’s a good deal.

That said, Videobox revolved around a somewhat outdated concept, and its site could really use some updating.

Pros:

Full-length DVDs available online
Huge collection

Cons:

Clunky, out-of-date looking interface

47.  StasyQ – Best solo female content

StasyQ.com offers some of the hottest videos on the internet. It’s full of European and other international models, and you might feel like you’re traveling as you watch, thanks to the luxury settings.

In particular, StasyQ has incredibly hot models, many of whom do solo work. If that’s your thing, this is the place for you.

Pros:

Gorgeous models
Beautiful settings
3-day trial

Cons:

Solo female only

48.  Hentai Pros – Best hentai

If you’re a hentai fan, then Hentai Pros isn’t likely to disappoint. They have a huge collection not only of hentai content but also hentai video games. This makes it a one-stop-shop of sorts for all your hentai wants/needs.

Pricing is competitive, and there’s a $2 trial ($1/day for two days).

Pros:

The best of hentai in one place

Cons:

Some older videos are low quality

49.  VR Bangers – Best original VR porn

2D, 3D, 4K, 8K—VR Bangers has it all. Although VR porn is still up-and-coming, this site stays on top of all the latest VR porn developments. It’s truly the best blend of porn and technology on the internet. You can even see upcoming releases, making this like the Netflix of VR porn.

You can count on seeing all your favorite pornstars here, and updates are surprisingly frequent given the extra production demands of VR.

Pros:

The best in VR
4K and 8K videos

Cons:

Relatively small library compared to traditional porn sites

50.  VRPorn.com – Best VR porn aggregator

VRPorn really scored with that domain name. For anyone looking for VR porn, they’re likely to land on VRPorn.com. Fortunately, VRPorn.com is a big aggregator of VR porn, meaning they host a ton of content. That can come in handy since VR porn is still up-and-coming.

With new VR porn uploaded all the time, you’re not likely to run out of videos.

Pros:

One of the biggest VR porn libraries
VR porn games available

Cons:

Short previews
Lackluster user interface

Pro Tips for Porn Sites

Keep these factors in mind when you’re on the hunt for a premium porn site. The reviews above should help narrow your search, but it doesn’t hurt to keep the following in mind as well.

Niche – Do you want something specific, like lesbian foot worship? Then you’ll need to find a site with that kind of content. Do you not care about a niche and want a wide variety of different kinds of porn? Then a site with a big network (or an aggregator) is probably your best bet.
Video quality and technology – Do you want 4K porn that you can watch on a gigantic curved monitor? Or maybe you want VR porn? If video quality and technology is important for you, then make sure the site you are looking at fits your wants.
Video length – Some people like hour-long videos with lots of build-up and teasing to enhance the tension. Other people are just fine with ten-minute videos. If this matters to you, it’s definitely worth double-checking before you buy.
Cost – Some sites will cost you a pretty penny, while others might cost you literal pennies. Make sure you understand the subscription you’re signing up for. If you’re convinced that you’ll be satisfied with a given site over the long haul, you can usually save money by opting for a year-long subscription (or longer). This is recommended more so for long-established, reliable (i.e. big-name) sites.

Final Takeaway

Porn has never been better than right now, thanks to improvements and innovations in video quality and technology (e.g. virtual reality porn).

If you’re ready to skip Pornhub for something more exclusive and more premium, then what are you waiting for? Check out the sites reviewed above and find out the best option for you!

Porn Site Payment FAQ

What’s the difference between paid porn sites and free porn sites?

Paid porn sites—at least the ones reviewed above—are legitimate businesses that give you premium and often exclusive porn videos for a subscription cost.

Free porn sites may be filled with ads and viruses, short trailer videos, and a lot of unwatchable, amateur content.

Are premium porn sites free?

In general, premium porn sites are not free. You are paying—get this—a premium to access the high-quality original content made by the production company behind the site.

While there are often sales, chances are you will need to be paying at least some kind of small subscription fee to access any given premium porn site.

How do you pay on premium porn sites?

Good question! Ultimately, it depends on the site. Some will allow you to pay by cryptocurrency, but essentially all will accept a credit card.

Are premium porn sites scams? No, for the most part premium porn sites are not scams. If you stick to the ones reviewed above, you’ll be in good shape. That said, you should always read the fine print before throwing down your credit card number and subscribing. Make sure you know the conditions and what you’re getting into.

1.  Brazzers – Best overall

Brazzers goes back to 2015 and has major name recognition. It’s now part of a porn empire (Mindgeek) that includes Redtube and Pornhub, well-known free porn sites.

You can get all the porn you’ll ever need with one Brazzers subscription, as they have a network of 30+ sites and nearly 2,000 pornstars. It’s honestly mind-boggling levels of porn. Trust us, you won’t need anything else.

The only real downsides are that Brazzers will keep trying to encourage you to upgrade, and their user interface isn’t as great as you’d expect from such a big player.

Pros:

Huge network (30+ sites)
Lots of exclusive content
Top pornstars

Cons:

User interface disappoints
Video quality varies on older content

2.  Reality Kings – Most reliable

RealityKings is another household name (or at least frat household name) with a massive content library. Just like with Brazzers, you can count on finding your favorite pornstars with frequent updates and all kinds of categories.

Even better, RealityKings offers a $1 trial that gives you a great sense of what they offer without breaking the bank.

One drawback to RealityKings is that it has some sites in its network that are kind of stale or not really kept up with. Plus, older scenes aren’t always in HD quality.

Pros:

Well organized
Massive content library
$1 trial

Cons:

$9.99 per month only if you pay in advance for the whole year
Old, outdated sites in its network

3.  Mofos – Best “reality” scenes

Mofos is more of an up-and-comer relative to Brazzers and RealityKings, but it’s still been around for a good minute. Where Mofos really delivers is with “reality” scenes—you know, where the stepmom is stuck in the washer, or a neighbor needs to borrow sugar, that kind of thing.

But to their credit, Mofos does it well, and you’re not likely to exhaust their huge supply of content. Plus, all their scenes are in HD.

One downside to Mofos is that their home page is a tad overwhelming. You also can’t search videos using tags, which would be a nice feature.

Pros:

High-quality video production
Great “reality” and POV content
Pornstars and up-and-coming actors

Cons:

Search options limited
Home page kind of messy

4.  BangBros – Best sex

BangBros is another popular premium porn site. It’s earned its reputation through years and years of consistently putting out high-quality videos with all of the top pornstars.

When we say they’re consistent, we mean it. They’ve put out more than—wait for it—15,000 videos. That means BangBros can easily be a one-stop shop for all your porn needs. This is in part due to their empire of 50+ sites.

BangBros offers competitive pricing, lots of value, and 4K video quality. There’s a lot to like there. The only major drawback is that some of their network sites are not included, which is a bit disappointing depending on what you’re into.

Pros:

Top pornstars
50+ site access
4K quality

Cons:

Not all BangBros sites included at basic price
Content lacking somewhat in originality

5.  PureTaboo – Best kinky content

PureTaboo brings the heat and plenty of kink with their premium videos. If some of the sites reviewed above are a bit mainstream or too “vanilla” for you, then PureTaboo may be more your speed.

With PureTaboo you can count on some real wild scenes with out-there storylines and naughty action. The video quality and sex are both top-notch, and there’s honestly not much to criticize PureTaboo for. If you’re kinky, you’ll almost certainly love it.

Pros:

High-quality content
Sexy models
Super kinky

Cons:

Somewhat niche and out there at times

6.  Naughty America – Best mainstream content

NaughtyAmerica has been around forever, since 2001 in fact. This site is unabashedly mainstream, appealing to Americans’ most common fantasies—think teacher-student, stepmom, milf, etc.

With NaughtyAmerica you can count on an insanely huge content library with lots of 4K videos (for newer content). There are 30+ sites included and even VR porn is included.

NaughtyAmerica is a great all-ar0und pick, though you may notice that it tends to be very white and mainstream. More diversity would be a plus.

Pros:

Massive content library
Delivers on classic fantasies
4K HD

Cons:

Occasional ads even when paying
Not super diverse models

7.  TeamSkeet – Best teen content

TeamSkeet is a relatively newer player in the premium porn game, but they are a very welcome addition. They specialize in young, kinky girls. If watching girls display daddy issues is your thing, then you’ll absolutely love it here.

With TeamSkeet, you get a large network (40+ sites), many of whose sites specialize in teen content. If you want a large collection of downloadable teen porn videos, then you’re not likely to have any issues with TeamSkeet.

The only real downside is their mediocre search features and user interface.

Pros:

Downloadable videos
Large network and huge video collection
Top option for teen content

Cons:

User interface and search features aren’t great

8.  EvilAngel – Most longevity

EvilAngel goes back to the 90’s, when your dad may have had one of their VHS tapes. Fortunately, EvilAngel has stuck around, ensuring that its hardcore anal porn can satisfy users all over the internet.

If you’re a fan of hardcore anal, EvilAngel will likely give you everything you need. Since it’s been around forever, you can count on them to keep delivering high-quality content. They’ve also got great search features and stay up with the latest in porn innovations.

Pros:

Top search features
High-quality content

Cons:

Can give you some issues if you use an adblocker

9.  Vixen – Best models

Vixen was started by Greg Lansky, who created many of the top porn sites in the industry today (including Blacked and Tushy). You can count on Vixen and these other sites to have amazing, well-shot 4K videos. There’s an attention to detail and aesthetics often missing with other sites.

Getting around the site is a breeze, and time and attention has clearly been put into those small details as well. The only drawback with Vixen is that you can’t use “ctrl+click” to open a new tab. This is frustrating if you like to easily open up a few videos at once.

Pros:

Artistic and high-quality content
Intuitive site design
Stunning models

Cons:

Doesn’t accommodate “ctrl+click”

10.  OnlyFans – Best for interaction

OnlyFans is one of the newest players in the game and is different from the other sites listed here. As you probably know, OnlyFans is a site where individuals can sell subscriptions and post whatever they (and their fans) want.

Well, lots of pornstars and celebrities have created X-rated OnlyFans pages. Many people appreciate this way of accessing porn because they are directly supporting one individual and there is a highly interactive aspect as well.

The downside is that OnlyFans can be rather costly compared to the other sites reviewed here, and you’re relying on the person you follow to keep posting.

Pros:

Highly interactive
Allows more direct support of models

Cons:

Can get expensive (generally less value)

11.  Family Strokes – Best for “step” content

It doesn’t take long looking at any given free porn site to see how popular “step” content is—you know, stepbrother, stepmom, etc. This gives people a taboo vibe while technically not being incest.

FamilyStrokes offers one of the best premium porn sites for this kind of thing. If you like this niche, then you’ll be in good hands here. They have hot scenes, sexy models, and a nice user interface.

Pros:

Kinky storylines
Top names in the industry

Cons:

Missing some typical features

12.  Babes – Best European

Babes is full of babes, who’d’ve thunk it? You can count on stunning woman after stunning woman here, in every different kind of category, from softcore to hardcore. There are also lots of picture galleries as well if that’s your thing. You can count on seeing a lot of the sexiest European women in the industry.

One nice feature is that you can get bonus access to other sites for free or a discount. One drawback is that it costs extra for downloading. This may or may not be a dealbreaker depending on if you’re trying to download videos to have on the go.

Pros:

All kinds of women, especially European
Bonus access available for cheap or free

Cons:

Downloading costs extra

13.  Digital Playground – Most variety

DigitalPlayground wins points right off the bat for having a creative name (unlike Babes.com). After all, porn should be a bit like a playground (without the kids, obviously). On this front, DigitalPlayground really delivers, with amazing high-quality videos in every genre you can think of.

They’ve also been around since the 1990s, meaning you can pretty much count on them to stick around if you’re thinking about a year-long subscription. The only real downside is that they try to upsell additional content.

Pros:

Huge amount of content
Sexy videos, including parodies

Cons:

Upsell for extra content
Some ads

14.  Milfed – Best milf content

If you’re a fan of milfs, look no further because MILFED delivers all the milf content you can dream of. You can count on all the best mature pornstars, top production quality, and good range of categories. There are about 1,200 videos currently in their library, which means you should be set for quite some time.

The only real drawback to MILFED is that there is no download option.

Pros:

Best mature pornstars
Large, consistently updated library

Cons:

No downloading

15.  Blacked – Best for BBC

If you’re into BBC’s going deep into white women, then Blacked is for you. You can find all the biggest dicks in the industry and all the top models taking them. There’s plenty of exclusive content that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

We like what we like, and if interracial porn is your thing, then Blacked will definitely be a top choice. If you don’t, well, it’s not likely to be your thing.

Pros:

Leader in interracial porn
Exclusive content
Top models

Cons:

Relatively niche (you’ll like it or you won’t)

16.  Dogfart – Best interracial

Owner of undoubtedly the worst name in porn, Dogfart nevertheless delivers a high-quality porn site, particularly if you are into Black, Latin, and/or interracial content.

DogFart is far from traditional, mainstream porn that features white actor after white actor. It also offers 4K quality and a large network of 22 sites. You’ll have plenty of content, in other words.

Pros:

Top site for interracial porn
4K quality
Large network

Cons:

Somewhat niche (interracial genre)

17.  Nubile Films – Best production quality

The word “nubile” generally refers to a woman as sexually attractive and/or “old enough.” With Nubile Films, this is exactly what you get: the most gorgeous 18+ models.

With an eye for sensuous and artistic production, Nubile Films has won many fans over the years. They are also a model of consistency, with frequent updates.

Pros:

Elegant site design
Beautiful models and production value

Cons:

Nothing really

18.  Tiny4K – Best for petite content

Some people really love petite content. If that’s you, then Tiny4K is probably all you’ll need. It has super-hot and tiny sluts taking on big ‘ol dicks, all in 4K definition. It’s hard to go wrong if this is your thing.

One downside is that it’s less diverse than many of the other sites reviewed here, and the content library is also smaller than most.

Pros:

Hot sex and hot models
4K quality

Cons:

Somewhat niche
Relatively low value compared to other sites

19.  PassionHD – Most passionate

PassionHD has a fitting name. Why? Because they really bring the passion, and they do it all in HD. You can count on sensuous, erotic content in the most stunning detail. What’s not to like?

PassionHD gives you gorgeous models in sensuous settings, and there’s even a free trial. The only drawback is that there are some ads, which is always a little frustrating when you’re a paying customer.

Pros:

High-quality production value
Gorgeous models

Cons:

Some ads

20.  MYLF – Best for cougar content

We’ve already covered MILFED, but here’s another premium milf site for those of you who just can’t get enough. If mature women are your thing, MYLF is going to be right up your alley. You get access to a good handful of sites, and new scenes are added daily, giving you good value for your money (or bang for your buck, ba-dum-tsk).

Keeping MYLF from being one of our top picks is the fact that it’s somewhat niche, downloads cost extra, and some content is upsold.

Pros:

Some of the best milfs around
Growing network with solid content library
Daily updates

Cons:

Downloads cost extra
Upsold content

21.  Private.com – Best multilingual content

Private offers a ton of European content. If you speak multiple languages, or just enjoy the exotic feel of models speaking languages other than English, you’ll love Private.com.

With tons of sexy Euro pornstars, a wide range of content, and a massive video library, Private.com offers great value.

Pros:

The hottest European pornstars
Varied content
Massive library with downloads included

Cons:

Nothing really

22.  New Sensations – Best downloadable

NewSensations brings the new content you need to the old, familiar sensations that you give yourself during your alone time. And there’s a lot here to like: 4K content, downloadable videos, top pornstars, and lots of membership features.

While it costs about the same as other top premium porn sites, NewSensations truly delivers. You can even see when new videos will be uploaded, allowing you to get hyped like it’s the Netflix of porn.

The only real downside is that it is fairly costly. Worth it, though, in our opinion.

Pros:

4k quality
Downloadable videos
All the best pornstars

Cons:

Slightly costly

23.  ThunderCock – Best for big dicks

Some women really love big cocks. Also known as size queens, these women make up the pornstars featured at ThunderCock.com. While porn in general glorifies big dicks, this site makes it their personal mission.

If you’re a fan of big dicks, top pornstars, and good bang for your buck, ThunderCock is worth checking out. The only drawback is their payment page is somewhat disingenuous and will try to get you to purchase additional memberships. Yep, pretty lame.

Pros:

Top pornstars
Huge dicks
Backed by NaughtyAmerica

Cons:

Be careful checking out

24.  HardX – Best for celebrity pornstars

If you love watching the biggest pornstars around, then HardX is a good option for you. They’ve been around a while (since 2005), and they’ve recruited all the top pornstars over the years.

Other big benefits to HardX is the access you get to additional sites, 4k quality, and frequent updates. The only downside is that it costs about as much as the other top premium porn sites.

Pros:

Sister site access
Top-quality stars and content

Cons:

A little expensive

25.  Bang.com – Best for premium content

Bang.com definitely scored with their domain name, and they succeed in making high-quality content that rivals the best in the business. You get access to a large network, meaning tons of videos in all different genres.

While Bang.com largely delivers premium video goodness, it’s not quite one of our top picks due to a few drawbacks, including lackluster site design and a lack of features for the basic membership.

Pros:

Highest-quality videos
Top stars

Cons:

Limited features
Site design lacking

26.  Deeper.com – Most intimate

Deeper takes you, well, a bit deeper into the more artful side of porn. This is more of a boutique site, which means less content. Sometimes, though, less is more, as Deeper really delivers high-quality hardcore content. They have a lot of kinky stuff, and the models are always super sexy.

The only real downside to Deeper is that you may find yourself wishing there were more content.

Pros:

Extremely high quality
Good for fans of kinky content

Cons:

Smaller content library

27.  DeepLush – Most authentic

DeepLush is produced by Owen Grey, one of porn’s most enduring and recognizable performers, with his many tattoos and chest scarified like he already had an autopsy. Grey is known for his sensual woman-pleasing, and DeepLush delivers a whole lot of that.

The only downside is that DeepLush, like Deeper, is more of a boutique site. The content library isn’t as vast as many others reviewed here, and you can only count on about one new video per week. That said, the quality is always on point.

Pros:

Top-tier quality scenes
Quality over quantity

Cons:

Relatively small content library

28.  21Naturals – Best natural bodies

21Naturals is all about “the erotic beauty of natural sex.” They aim for an authentic experience where naturally gorgeous faces and bodies are on display in intimate sex scenes. You won’t find over-the-top parodies and milfs with silicone tits bigger than your head. While there are definitely some fake boobs, the majority are natural.

21Naturals is part of 21Sextury, which is one of Europe’s best porn studios. You can count on consistent high-quality content.

Pros:

Huge library
(Mostly) natural bodies
Free trial

Cons:

Not exclusively natural women, despite the name

29.  Hustler – Most old-school

Hustler has kept up with the times, so they’ve moved far past the kind of magazines that you would find hidden in the garage. They’ve got top pornstars and release content just about every other day. Pair that with an extensive content library, and you’ll be in good shape.

You can also pay by Paypal or Bitcoin (in addition to credit card), which is a nice feature.

Pros:

Top pornstars
Frequent uploads

Cons:

Not the most innovative studio

30.  Nympho – Best anal

If you’re a fan of hot, busty women and hardcore anal, then Nympho.com is the site for you. You can count on seeing some of the biggest names in porn as well as plenty of sexy newcomers. There are lots of threesomes with kinky assplay.

Nympho delivers a handful of new scenes each month, and videos are downloadable. It provides one of the better values in the premium hardcore porn world.

Pros:

High-quality hardcore porn
Top pornstars and up-and-comers

Cons:

Not for everyone

31.  PropertySex – Best new talent

If you’re into discovering sexy new pornstars and watching them get dominated, then PropertySex is a great option for you. Each video follows the same basic plot: a young female client gets banged by their real estate agent.

Although the storylines can get a little repetitive, PropertySex delivers high-quality video with some of the best new talent around.

Pros:

$1 trial
Downloadable videos

Cons:

A little repetitive

32.  PornPros – Best hardcore content

With a name like PornPros, it better be good, right? Well, luckily PornPros has consistently delivered top-quality porn for years and years. You can find your favorite pornstars, new talent, and a range of hardcore content.

With frequent updates, downloadable videos, and a $1 trial, PornPros is one of the better overall porn sites around. They also have a huge library and network with more than 3,000 videos and around 20 sites.

Pros:

Huge network
Top stars
Downloadable videos

Cons:

Filtering options could be better

33.  TeensLoveHugeCocks – Best teen couples

TeensLoveHugeCocks is one of those site names that really doesn’t f*ck around. You’re going to get teens (or women that still pass for teens) taking on some of the biggest dicks in porn. If that’s your thing, well, you probably don’t need us to tell you that this is the site for you.

Like many of the sites here, TeensLoveHugeCocks has a $1 trial, which is always a nice option.

Pros:

$1 trial
Backed by Reality Kings

Cons:

Somewhat narrow nice

34.  FakeHub – Best voyeur content

FakeHub doesn’t try too hard to sell you on the “reality” of its videos, which is kind of refreshing to be honest. Their videos are obviously contrived, and they own it. They then deliver on a nice range of content, including from their most popular vehicle, FakeTaxi (pun intended).

Minor downsides are limited picture galleries (though some sites don’t even offer those) and limited search options.

Pros:

Huge content library
Solid network (including FakeTaxi)

Cons:

Limited picture galleries
Limited filtering options

35.  Porn World – Best filtering options

You might not recognize the name Porn World, as it was formerly known as the DDF Network. Despite their new name not having quite the same brand recognition as others reviewed here, Porn World boasts a huge network and some of the hottest Euro porn on the web.

They win extra points for a top-quality search engine and plenty of 4K content.

Pros:

Huge Euro porn network
Best-in-class search and filtering options
Updates almost every day

Cons:

Nothing really

36.  Lubed – Best lube content

If you get off on seeing hot women getting railed while covered in lube, then you can probably stop scrolling. Seriously. Lubed.com has many of the best pornstars in the industry and you can see them all in super wet and messy sex.

They also have a $1 trial in case you want to check it out before committing.

Pros:

Top pornstars
$1 trial
Unlimited downloads

Cons:

Somewhat niche

37.  Kink – Best for hardcore fetish content

Kink.com does not f*ck around. They got that goldmine of a domain name and they have just been running with it. Fans of kinky hardcore sex will love it; people with more vanilla interests should probably look elsewhere.

Kink is a premium service and one of the best on the more kinky side of premium porn sites, so it does cost a bit more than others. But you get what you pay for, as they say.

Pros:

Super high-quality videos
Top pornstars getting kinky

Cons:

Relatively pricey

38.  Vivid – Best parodies

Vivid has been around a long time, and most people who are into porn have likely seen one of their videos. Now part of the Adult Time network, Vivid is known for their high-budget porn parodies—you know, Star Wars, Batman, Thor, etc.

If you enjoy the fun yet sexy vibe of porn parodies, Vivid is a great option for you. There aren’t super frequent video updates, but that’s because they are truly Hollywood-level productions.

Pros:

High production value
Large content library

Cons:

Fewer updates than most sites reviewed here

39.  XEmpire – Best value

The X network is massive, making a subscription to the “XEmpire” a great value. You’ll get all the latest updates to top sites like HardX (reviewed above), LesbianX, EroticaX, and many more. The production value is on point, with sites in the X network winning many of the top AVN awards (the “Oscars of porn,” for those who don’t know).

Thanks to all these sites, you’ll get 4-5 updates per week, which will definitely keep you occupied.

Pros:

Huge network
Long videos

Cons:

None really

40.  Twistys – Best lesbian content

Twistys is all about creating and hosting the hottest lesbian content on the internet. Sometimes known as “lesbian glam porn,” the kind of content on Twistys has sleek production and the hottest bi and lesbian pornstars.

Pros for Twistys include a large content library and mobile-friendly site. Downsides include the fact that none of the videos are in 4K and downloads aren’t an option.

Pros:

Gorgeous models
Sensual videos

Cons:

No downloads
No 4K

41.  FantasyMassage – Best for massage

Let’s be real, has anyone not fantasized about an erotic massage? There’s something so sensual and sexy about it. Well, if you’re fan of erotic massage, Fantasy Massage delivers the goods. You can count on more than 2,000 videos, plus access to the Adult Time network.

The only real downside is that it’s pretty niche, but hey, you wouldn’t sign up if you weren’t okay with that.

Pros:

Large library (Adult Time network)
High-quality video

Cons:

Somewhat niche

42.  PervCity – Best group sex

PervCity isn’t just a site but a network. This means that you can count on more than 1,000 scenes. The video quality is always full HD, and the fact it’s a network means there’s a lot of variety.

They’ve begun filming in 4K, but this library isn’t that robust yet. Updates are frequent, though, so it will keep building up fast.

Pros:

Unlimited downloads
Network access

Cons:

Not the most creative or innovative network

43.  Wankz – Most original content

Wankz.com is also a porn network, meaning that you can get plenty of hot videos covering all kinds of different categories (teen, milf, DP, threesome, etc.). There are more than 60 sites included, so it’s hard to imagine anyone getting bored.

The only downside is that Wankz doesn’t seem as committed to new updates as other networks, perhaps because they have such an extensive library already. You can add WankzVR, one of the best VR sites, for $10 more per month.

Pros:

Massive network
4K videos
WankzVR as an add-on

Cons:

Less frequent updates than others

44.  Bellesa – Best for women

Bellesa delivers hot porn with a female focus. It’s made by women, for women. Think less “rough hardcore gangbang” and more “female worship.” There’s lots of eating out and passionate making out. It’s full of top pornstars doing what they do best.

Fortunately, Bellesa offers frequent sales so that you can get this premium porn on the cheap if your timing is right.

Pros:

Often more sensual content
Frequent sales

Cons:

Somewhat niche
Not a lot of long videos

45.  Spizoo – Best bonus features

Spizoo is a relatively small network (4 sites) that boasts a large amount of content (2,000+ videos). They have top pornstars, good variety, and top video quality (new videos in 4K). Unlimited downloading and a top user interface make this one of the best premium porn sites around.

One downside is that you have to carefully read the fine print when signing up, as the largest price listed is per month or per day rather than the price you’re paying upfront. (To be fair, though, it’s always important to sign up carefully with porn sites.)

Pros:

Solid network and good value
4K

Cons:

Slightly deceptive pricing listed

46.  Videobox – Best for immersive content

VideoBox is a bit different from most of these other sites. Instead of one site or network that’s actively producing content, it simply hosts a huge collection of full-length porn DVDs. Compared to buying those DVDs, it’s a good deal.

That said, Videobox revolved around a somewhat outdated concept, and its site could really use some updating.

Pros:

Full-length DVDs available online
Huge collection

Cons:

Clunky, out-of-date looking interface

47.  StasyQ – Best solo female content

StasyQ.com offers some of the hottest videos on the internet. It’s full of European and other international models, and you might feel like you’re traveling as you watch, thanks to the luxury settings.

Some older videos are low quality

You can count on seeing all your favorite pornstars here, and updates are surprisingly frequent given the extra production demands of VR.

Pros:

The best in VR
4K and 8K videos

Cons:

Relatively small library compared to traditional porn sites

50.  VRPorn.com – Best VR porn aggregator

VRPorn really scored with that domain name. For anyone looking for VR porn, they’re likely to land on VRPorn.com. Fortunately, VRPorn.com is a big aggregator of VR porn, meaning they host a ton of content. That can come in handy since VR porn is still up-and-coming.

With new VR porn uploaded all the time, you’re not likely to run out of videos.

VR porn games available

Pro Tips for Porn Sites

Keep these factors in mind when you’re on the hunt for a premium porn site. The reviews above should help narrow your search, but it doesn’t hurt to keep the following in mind as well.

Niche – Do you want something specific, like lesbian foot worship? Then you’ll need to find a site with that kind of content. Do you not care about a niche and want a wide variety of different kinds of porn? Then a site with a big network (or an aggregator) is probably your best bet.
Video quality and technology – Do you want 4K porn that you can watch on a gigantic curved monitor? Or maybe you want VR porn? If video quality and technology is important for you, then make sure the site you are looking at fits your wants.
Video length – Some people like hour-long videos with lots of build-up and teasing to enhance the tension. Other people are just fine with ten-minute videos. If this matters to you, it’s definitely worth double-checking before you buy.
Cost – Some sites will cost you a pretty penny, while others might cost you literal pennies. Make sure you understand the subscription you’re signing up for. If you’re convinced that you’ll be satisfied with a given site over the long haul, you can usually save money by opting for a year-long subscription (or longer). This is recommended more so for long-established, reliable (i.e. big-name) sites.

Final Takeaway

Porn has never been better than right now, thanks to improvements and innovations in video quality and technology (e.g. virtual reality porn).

If you’re ready to skip Pornhub for something more exclusive and more premium, then what are you waiting for? Check out the sites reviewed above and find out the best option for you!

Porn Site Payment FAQ

What’s the difference between paid porn sites and free porn sites?

While there are often sales, chances are you will need to be paying at least some kind of small subscription fee to access any given premium porn site.

How do you pay on premium porn sites?

Good question! Ultimately, it depends on the site. Some will allow you to pay by cryptocurrency, but essentially all will accept a credit card.

Bears must leave grotesque Soldier Field behind, get fresh start in Arlington Heights

Soldier Field is a terrible football stadium. Let’s get that out of the way right now.

It might be iconic. It might be on the lake. It might be where your grandpa took you to see Mac Percival and Bob Pifferini do their thing. But please leave nostalgia at the front desk. And don’t forget that the Bears played at Wrigley Field until 1971.

Soldier Field is a ridiculous 10-pound alien toilet seat crammed into a five-pound box. Originally opened in 1924 as a big ”U”-shaped venue to handle every kind of sporting event — from heavyweight fights to ski jumping to, yes, football — the stadium has been updated so many times it makes Madonna’s face alterations look quaint.

It likely was cool to watch Austin beat Leo in the 1937 Prep Bowl in Soldier Field in front of 120,000 fans. But that was during the Depression, and TVs hadn’t even been invented.

If you don’t believe Soldier Field is an eyesore, remember that it lost its National Historic Landmark status in 2006. That happened after a 10-member federal committee voted unanimously to de-list the place because it was so architecturally offensive.

”If we want to keep the integrity of the program, let alone the landmarks, we really had no other recourse,” a committee member said.

And that’s just the outside. The inside is terrible, too. Cramped, inelegant and jury-rigged, it’s the lowest-capacity stadium (61,500) in the NFL, un-roofed, incapable of hosting a Super Bowl.

This being Chicago, of course, everything comes down to politics. The Bears now are investigating building a new stadium in suburban Arlington Heights, on the site of the defunct Arlington International Racecourse, and Chicago city leaders don’t like this.

In June 2021, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Bears season-ticket holder, said the Arlington Heights idea was ”clearly a negotiating tactic that the Bears have used before.” Bears officials claim they’re serious.

Actually, they’ve been moderately serious before. I remember when then-Bears chairman Michael McCaskey showed me a rendering of a proposed stadium in some southern or western suburb, and I got a big chuckle because one of the stadium entrances in the drawing was a giant growling bear’s head. Yep, that might have been a negotiating ploy.

But now the Bears have signed a $197.2 million purchase agreement for the 326 acres where the racetrack was, a deal a team official tells me will be completed in the first quarter of this year.

If they purchase the land, they still don’t have to build. But what they’re talking about is a domed stadium, as modern as they come, with all kinds of amenities in the area around it. Not an add-on, jury-rigged stadium contraption, but something new, sleek, Super Bowl-worthy, like what they do in other cities.

And the thing Lightfoot and all the big talkers forget is that the NFL is one armor-plated cartel, with each of the 32 franchises a protected outpost within that cartel. You want another team in your town? Dream on.

Confronted with the stadium issue, mayoral candidate Willie Wilson said, ”What I would do, I’ll buy another team in Chicago.”

Hilarious.

Chicago likely could support three NFL teams, maybe more. But the NFL does as it pleases, shoots down all threats to its sanctity. For reference, check the U.S. Football League’s 1986 monopoly lawsuit against the NFL — and its $1 reward for winning.

Lightfoot, so snarky at the start — the Bears, she said, should focus on ”beating the Packers finally and being relevant past October” — now is begging the Bears to stay in town. The new half-baked plan by Landmark Development to put a dome on Soldier Field is as ridiculous as it is grotesque. It wouldn’t just be putting more lipstick on a pig; it would be adding high heels and a wig hat.

Yes, the Bears are lousy, but they can do what they want. (That cartel thing, remember.) And if they could start fresh in Arlington Heights, 30 miles northwest of Chicago, in a new stadium with space, with modern amenities, with a structure that looks toward the 22nd century, not back to the 19th, maybe they could win a few games, too.

Half the teams in the NFL don’t play in the city they’re named for. The Giants and Jets haven’t played in New York City — or even New York state — for 40 years.

It’s time, Chicago. Do something new. Let it happen. Even if it’s in another town.

Months after a devastating crash, St. Ignatius hockey team gets back on the ice in 5-0 win

When an alleged drunk driver plowed into the bus carrying a St. Ignatius College Prep hockey team through northern Indiana in November, a promising season came to a grinding halt.

But on Sunday, the junior varsity squad had a triumphant return to the ice, scoring a 5-0 victory against Aurora’s Marmion Academy.

Among those packing the stands at Fifth Third Arena on the Near West Side were three of the four players who remained sidelined, dozens of first responders and a Good Samaritan who sprang into action after the crash.

“We’re just hoping for continued healing and recovery for them,” Spencer Montgomery, St. Ignatius’ hockey director, said of the players. “The good news is we’re able to field a team and get back to play, but we’re not done with the incident.”

On the night of Nov. 12, a speeding semi-truck driver swerved across lanes of U.S. Route 30 in Warsaw, Indiana, before running through a red light, crashing into the team bus and knocking it on its side, according to court documents. Witnesses said it didn’t appear the truck’s driver, Victor Santos, tried to slow down or avoid the bus.

Santos, 58, of Brooklyn, New York, faces multiple felony counts of causing serious bodily injury when operating a vehicle while intoxicated and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon. Court documents show he’s a registered sex offender in New York, and he was convicted of rape in 1999.

The crash scene involving a bus carrying the St. Ignatius College Prep junior varsity hockey team on U.S. Route 30 in Warsaw, Indiana, on Nov. 12, 2022.

Warsaw police

Sixteen St. Ignatius junior varsity hockey players have filed a lawsuit in connection with the crash, naming Santos and the trucking companies involved as defendants.

The hockey team had been competing in a tournament at Culver Military Academy and was returning to its hotel from dinner. At least 16 players were hurt, three of them critically.

The road to recovery — both physically and emotionally — hasn’t been easy, but most of the players are back to playing shape, Montgomery said. The team is now in line to make the playoffs and has a series of makeup games scheduled this month.

“In a lot of ways, they really needed to just get back on the ice,” Montgomery said of the players who have returned. “There’s something about hockey for the 90 minutes you’re on the ice, everything can kind of disappear and you just get to play a game.”

John Chandler, president of St. Ignatius, said the response to the crash was “a testimony to the care of this community,” crediting both those who responded and the outpouring of support locally. “There’s a lot of lessons that our broader community has learned: the fragility of life [and] not knowing what’s going to happen necessarily in the next moment,” Chandler added.

Through it all, Montgomery said the players have stood by each other as they grappled with the fallout from the shared traumatic experience.

“In the dark moments, you have to look for the light,” he said. “And this group has bonded together and leaned on each other. And then the opportunity to come back and compete, and get back to the game of hockey, is a real blessing.”

Blackhawks motivated by Kraken debacle entering season’s second half

Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson spent part of his day off Sunday watching the NFL playoffs.

It was mostly for fun. But he also believed it might prove applicable to the Hawks, considering they’ll get no closer to the NHL playoffs than the NFL playoffs this season. That hunch proved correct.

When Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle dropped a potential 50-yard catch in the first quarter against the Bills, then rebounded to make a crucial 25-yard catch on third down in the fourth quarter, Richardson was watching. He hoped his players were, too, and would notice how “mentally strong” Waddle was and transfer that lesson into hockey.

And when Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel took far too long to call a play on fourth down later that drive, leading to a delay-of-game penalty that essentially lost the game, Richardson was still watching. It reminded him of the importance of having plans in place beforehand for all scenarios.

“You need a mental break,” Richardson said Monday. “[Days off] are scheduled in there for those reasons. Watch some football. And sometimes that’s good, because it gives you a little reality [check] to watch other teams making mistakes or executing in a different sport. It gives [the players] a little something they can bring back to their own game.”

The mental break helped calm down Richardson, who criticized the Hawks more strongly Saturday — after a pathetic 8-5 loss to the Kraken — than at any previous point this season.

In his postgame comments, he called the team out for “a lack of mental and physical preparation” and questioned the effectiveness of their pre-game and off-day routines.

“Feeling good about yourself is a good thing,” he added. “But if you feel good about yourself and stop doing what got you there, that’s a bad thing.”

The Sunday off-day was pre-scheduled, so he could do nothing about its existence — thus the special focus on how he spent it and how he hoped his players spent it. But evidently, they spent it well. Richardson said Monday he liked the collective sense of dissatisfaction radiating around Fifth Third Arena.

“Everybody was grumpy,” he said. “They got used to winning, they got used to being smiley and happy around the rink, and they did not want to lose.”

Colin Blackwell, for one, certainly felt that way. The former Kraken forward called his effort against his former team “awful,” adding that he “didn’t influence the game in any positive ways” and “let the team down a little bit.”

Richardson canceled the Hawks’ typical morning video session, deeming their play Saturday too off-base to even justify analysis, and instead ran an intense practice with drills emphasizing one-on-one and two-on-two battles.

Afterward, he discussed some defensive-zone tactical changes in a lengthy full-team huddle, then broke them down further in small-group settings.

“A few questions came up,” he said. “Then a couple guys stayed when everybody else milled away, and they had a few more questions. It got a couple guys talking, and they go away talking, and [then] another guy stays and asks more questions. They just want to make sure they’re understanding it right, which is great. Just one question probably answers 10 questions, because other people are thinking the same thing.”

The Hawks will begin the second half of their season Tuesday, hosting the Sabres for game No. 42, before hitting the road for 13 of their next 18 games through the end of February.

Wins might be just as scarce in the second half as they were in the first half, which the Hawks finished 11-26-4. Richardson acknowledged that Monday; his players are quietly aware, as well.

But the Hawks’ unity, resilience and motivation has rarely faltered this season — in spite of their lack of success — and Richardson expects the lingering embarrassment from the Kraken gut-punch will ensure those traits return again Tuesday.
