Digital PlayGround Parodies

Outside of some niche arthouse erotica, porn is usually hardly known for its high-class acting or stellar costuming. Though back in the golden era of porn, circa 1985, there was a lot more effort put into coming up with porn with a decent plot that seems to be rarer these days.

Now pornographers seem to be fixated with coming up with short smut videos or pounding out lengthy wall-to-wall videos that have a weak premise or feature a single fetish. However, if you look around for long enough, you can certainly find some adult films which combine creativity and comedy.

One of the most interesting ones which you should read all about is DigitalPlayground.com. Once you do, let us know what you think…

A Website Which Is Almost As Old As The Net

It never ceases to amaze us how young or old certain domains and the websites associated with them are. We think it is even more impressive when we do research on the different kinds of incarnations a porn platform has been through.

The Early Days

First purchased in 1995, by '99 the platform has a decent design and solicited what was, for the time, some fairly far-out porn products. In addition to selling adult printed magazines, CDs, they even advertised erotic DVDS – a pretty new media at the time.

They even doing something which was practically unheard of at that time: live streaming of couples making love.

Called FantaScene, the viewer could not only see live sex but also choose between two cameras and record from which angles you prefer. Users could zoom, pan, cut wide, raise or drop shots; however, they wanted, effectively making them porn directors in training.

On top of that, site members were encouraged to post their own specialty smut material all over the web. Remember, this was before the era of high-speed internet and tube sites, and the DP webmasters were already thinking of how online erotica was going to look!

Transitioning To A Modern Porn Site

Around the same time that the first (good) versions of QuickTime came out, or when Terra Patrick was starting her career, Digital Playground experienced some considerable upgrades. Instead of hosting a ton of low-rent ads and only featuring antiquated .jpegs, vector graphics were added, and high-end photos were included to sell the site.

Beyond that, they added even more films, linked users onsite to the best directors and starlets. Short previews were included as well as a newsletter to give visitors even more reasons to sign up. Sadly, it seems like the interactive camera feature was removed, but all of the new stuff made up for it.

Several years after these changes were made, the DP designers added a site tour and video on demand features, changed the site appearance a couple of times, but kept the rest of the site about the same.

The Year It All Came Together

The year every (crazy) person thought the year would end, that being 2012, is also the same one where Digital Playground blossomed as a place to see beautiful breasts and other arousing anatomical features. All of the great stuff we mentioned before was kept, but in staying ahead of the times, DP added some fresh features.

For example, they linked to affiliated live sex streams, included behind-the-scenes featurettes, linked to their iTunes page, and even had a virtual 360° gimmick.

Being a subsidiary of Mind Geek, which is the same company that owns PornHub and Babes.com, probably thought that some of the ways to enjoy their site became redundant. Or at least, that is our guess as to why DP has been slimmed down a little bit.

But still, the current version of Digital Playground looks excellent and has a kind of neat content you will not find on most parts of the porno-oriented internet. And best of all, the focus is on high-definition, parody porn, each with its own unique direction, writing, and passionate copulating.

This Site Has One Of The Best Looking Layouts

Even though it is decades old, this website has used some of the same design principles, which, to the creator's credit, has held up quite well over time.

For one, the webmasters have generally stuck to using black or a mix of black and for backgrounds, red as the primary color in icons and ‘action’ banners, and white or grey for bold text. Since the ‘90s, they have constantly upgraded but kept the same horse icon, though the current version does look a bit wonky now.

Though out most of the site's history, they have always used proper spacing, included enough vector-based elements, and arranged elements in an artistic way. Sure, this may not sound like much, but it is a welcome sight considering the number of low-rent tubes we have seen.

The modern version has several filter options, both basic and sophisticated, to make finding fap material exceptionally simple. By pressing on the Filter menu, with one click, you can order movies and series alphabetically based on their view time, release date, and by movies that are top-rated.

Further, you can adjust search parameters based on a range of dates, and be augmented by adding tags. We will get into this later in the review, but there are hundreds of tags to include, and by clicking on the Category box, you will see a list of all of them.

Each video page is a bit simplistic since stand-alone movies only include the ability to like or dislike a film as well as a description that includes the starlets' names. Visitors can see trailers, and members can get the full movie, but that is about it.

There Are Models Exclusive To The Site

While it is apart of a larger pro-nudity network, technically, all of the pornstars on this site could be considered exclusives. Many of the starlets listed are going to be ones we are sure a lot of you are familiar with like Alexis Fawx, Katana Kombat, and Gianna Dior.

Lesser known but up-and-coming scene stealers whose work you can find on this platform include Desiree Dulce, Sophie Sparks, and Scarlit Scandal. These ladies may be young and only have a few titles under their belt, but they and other’s work are worth looking up on this platform.

To make getting access to their material easy, the same filter tools are available on the Pornstar pages. Plus, each profile gives you a list of the performer’s onsite movies as well as a detailed biography.

They Host Videos From Other Studios, Too

Accessible through the Videos links in the menu, you can get access to fap films from three other sites: Flixx, DP Parodies, and Raw Cuts. DP Parodies, of course, has even more porn, which lampoon's entertainment in pop culture, which includes amazing erotic entertainment including costuming, special effects, and even action choreography.

Raw Cuts has almost as high-quality content, expect the format is in the form of a POV, no-edit style of smut. By comparison to either, Flixxx is a bit more basic and focuses on a premise with a bit of build-up before getting to more "traditional" porn.

The Number Of Categories If A Little Limited

Despite having so many funny and fap-worthy movies which include comic book characters, fairytale storylines, sci-fi franchises, not to mention every sex act you are going to see on most other sites, there are not too many categories. In fact, there are only a dozen specialty sections, none of which are particularly unique.

They are not too bad to look at, but they are strangely normal. The posted categories include Lesbian, MILFs, Ebony, Asian, and the such like. So, while the tags are incredibly thorough, this part of the site is a bit boring.

And we find that this is rather unfortunate since some of the specific movies parody dramas like The Walking Dead, the video games series like Mass Effect, and just about every Marvel comic characters.

Here Are Some Of The Series We Recommend

There are hundreds of stand-alone movies and dozens of series, each of which has at least a couple if not five or more installments each, there is a ton of erotic episodes we could talk about. However, to give you an idea of what we think you should look up first.

The Pulse – Being a parody of General Hospital (and maybe Scrubs a bit), one head surgeon has no problem getting all of the head and other sexual favors he wants from a bunch of sultry nurses. That is until a new, young physician starts to compete with him for his barely dressed and always-horny harem.

Sherlock: A XXX Parody – Inspired by the 2009 Robert Downey film of a similar name, the idea of this website stars Holmes (Danny D), who uses his powers deduction and seduction to find criminals.

But rather than go it alone, he has the help of his sexy assistance Jane Watson played by Ella Hughes. While doing that, they uncover a larger conspiracy and go on some stimulating sexual escapades.

Flesh: House Of Hedonism –

Stryker – James Bond meets DC comics in this action-packed eight-part series. And when we say action, we mean both the fighting and fornicating kind.

You Can Get Hardcopies Of All Movies And More On The E-store

Like most premium porn sites, this one has a digital store, which looks just as good as the main site. In addition to the films posted to DP, there are DVDs and VODs from other top-tier smut sites.

Besides being able to see videos in those formats, you can download them, though at a higher price, and stream them for life. You can also pay for movies by the minute if you want. On a final note, most modern flicks can be purchased as Blu-rays, but right now, a lot of those discs tend to be sold out.

Getting a short cut to pages listing starlets, new releases, scenes, categories, and studios can be done through the menu, as are the range of sex toys. The number and type of toys you can select from is incredibly impressive.

There is the usual like fleshjacks and dildos for any budget and to fit any person’s anatomy. There are other neat products like the dozens of flavored and hundreds of water-, oil- and silicone-based lubes and ejaculation delaying wipes for guys. They also sell tons of specialty BDSM gear, anatomically-inspired sex toys, and even more exotic items.

Though it changes all of the time, there are some pretty substantial savings to be taken advantage of.

Having A Free Account Is Fun – Membership Is Even Better

Without an account, you can get access to a decent amount of material, though no matter where you go, the trailers tend to be pretty limited. Getting a paid account is surprisingly reasonable, especially considering the amount of content and other benefits you get to see.

To sum those up, you get to see original movies and web series featuring the finest talent in the adult industry. Between the series and the movies, there are 3,400 uploads with new ones being added on a monthly basis.

With all of this considered, we think that paying a mere $29.99 for a month it not too much to ask for. Of course, like other sites, you save even more money with an extended membership plan – so if you get a three-month subscription or for a full year, you pay $59.99 and $119.99 total.

That may sound like a lot for the ninety-day package, you only end up spending $19.99 and for the annual deal just $9.99 per month.

Payment can be made via e-check, most credit cards, cryptocurrencies, and major gift cards.

Mobile Phone, Tablet, And Desktop – Here Is How It Looks On Each

On the whole, this website runs well across devices though there are a few things we noticed which are unique to each. As we brought up before, the desktop does this weird thing where a new tab will ask for age verification.

On modern phones, it may be hard to get past that page, depending on the size of your screen. It differs between models, but you might have to tap a dozen times to get access.

None of these are big issues for us, but the best device to use would probably be a tablet or large smartphone.

Going Over Everything Hot And Not On This Site

Now we come to the final summary of this exceptionally exciting porn platform.

The Best Features

There are thousands of feature flicks and expertly produced series, most of which have engaging storylines, special effects, and set design, and even decently performed acting. There are none of the typical problems like spam or sluggish response times.

You can buy downloads and discs of the movies you see along with a ton of toys to spice up your bedroom activities. Like any premium porn site, this platform runs about as well on the mobile devices.

Our Suggested Fixes

To be honest, there is not too much to critique other than some minor details. For some reason, if you open up a new tab as a visitor, you may be asked to verify your age to get in.

Our research says that visitors used to be able to get a seven-day guest account for free, in which you could enjoy almost every part of the site except download movies. Now the closest thing to that perk is a five-dollar three-day trial – we think that should be brought back.

Do We Give This Platform Our Endorsement?

With all of this content coupled with the way that it is presented, and when you consider its history, this website is one of the best we have seen. Clearly, we think that this is a site worth signing up for, and you can at a reasonable – so, we give Digital Playground our highest rating of five hands.
