And, as you would expect, this is a site that is filled with some of the best mainstream porn that money can be. Unlike it's big name counterparts, they tend to favour the eastern European girls out there and not the sweet-as-sugar Americans that Playboy and Hustler largely deal in on a global scale.

In fact, for someone like me who does favour the European look, it's as much a fascinating opportunity to trace where some of the continent's biggest stars shot to fame as it is to see them in all their glory. From glamorous sun-drenched nude softcore shoots to explicit hardcore anal action, Private always feel comfortable will all manner of different genres of adult action and always fill them with the cream of European talent.

When you then consider that many of their magazine issues can be viewed on this, their official site too, things really do look quite bright. But whilst in terms of high glamour porn, Private can't do much wrong, I did leave the site wondering if there should have been more to it. By that, I don't mean more content - there is more than enough here to keep you occupied to say the very least. I just got the impression that this was another website from a hugely popular adult magazine company that fell short of its lesser-known online competition.

In terms of its presentation, Private is often a confusing and incomplete fare. The stars, photo galleries and videos all get their own sections - but where is the more complete update information and the A-Z complete indexes? Why aren't there more browsing options in terms of formats on the videos? Why aren't features such as interviews and outtakes given their own specific categories in their top menu bar? These may seem harsh criticisms but it's because I really do expect the very highest quality from the likes of Private, because there are so very good so very much of the time.

However, it is at least worth noting that all these complaints are on the presentational and navigational sides of things and that in terms of its content, it rarely comes up short. And by having their entire archive of magazine issues online in their fullest, it's a marvellous chance to look at how this company has evolved over the years and catch up with some stars of yesteryear.
