Overview:
Ah, youth! When you're in the midst of it everything can seem like an emotional hurricane, a hormonal avalanche that thrusts you into some pretty compromising situations. For men, this is usually limited to banging a girl and later regretting it. For the young women of Barely Legal, the infamous teen-obsessed off-shoot of Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine, their hormones are driving them straight into the world of adult entertainment. Mobbing to Barely Legal much like drunk guys at Coachella mob pairs of girls in denim cut-offs and mesh bikini tops, wannabe pornstars like Mia Khalifa, Gwen Stark, and Kacey Jordan intend to spread their sexual horizons, expand their career opportunities, and have a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Home to a huge collection of hardcore movies all made under the Hustler brand, Barely Legal focuses its 1080p HD movies and high-res pictorials on the freshest, youngest, and most exciting talent in porn today as they suck and fuck they way towards real stardom. Tour previews show the range of Barely Legal. Titles include Lesbian Surrender, Mind Fuck, Stepdaughter Creampie, Bathroom Ballers, and My First Cream Pie, but many scenes are sourced from the very shoots that appear in issues of Barely Legal magazine, issues available in digital formats here. Barely Legal charges its members $29.95-a-month to access its dense, dynamic collection, but before you rush in, maybe take a moment to come along with Mr. Pink and examine what makes Barely Legal so damn popular.

Pros:
A bevy of gorgeous, sexy starlets can be found roaming the halls of Hustler HQ's Barely Legal division. Notable babes appearing here include Lexi Belle, Faye Reagan, Riley Reid, Amia Miley, Emma Mae, Dillion Harper, and Alexis Love, as well as newer hotties Madelyn Monroe, Belle Noire, and Iggy Amore.

In true Hustler style, hardcore sex is routinely on the menu at Barely Legal, where pornstars still far from MILF-status don bikinis and suck dick by the poolside, snuggle up to then scissor an older woman, straddle their step-brother's open mouth, or experiment with mildly kinky acts. Anal sex is not uncommon, nor are three way or group scenes and even orgies.

Not all, but many Barely Legal updates now carry with them both 1500px photos and 1080p HD videos. Other updates' videos fall to 720p, 540p, and 480p depending on the production date, but generally the visual quality is definitely watchable. Both photos and videos are available online or via downloadable zip packs and MP4 files.

Nineteen "bonus sites" are provided with all Barely Legal memberships - which can now be enjoyed for just $19.95 for your first month - and make it easier to find niche-specific content. The entire archive available to Barely Legal subscribers is a huge one, holding more than 4,400 videos and 2,200 image galleries. Throw in almost 100 digitized issues of the Barely Legal mag and that's a damn fine haul indeed!

Cons:
Videos often reach HD resolutions here at Barely Legal, but not always and, really, not often enough. The majority of videos I downloaded while examining Barely Legal were 540p and looked a little dull, drained of some color. There are some 1080p scenes online but they're hardly the majority or even the focus of future video efforts. It's hard to tell what's going on with Barely Legal's HD program.

Browsing Barely Legal should keep you away from MILFs, matures, or anyone otherwise over, say, 25-years-of-age. As all members essentially can access Hustler and Barely Legal evenly and from only slightly different angles, the two sites' archives blend together. You'll see Hustler models at Barely Legal and vice versa.

The Hustler house style hinders Barely Legal's visual success, often presenting scenes in drab locations under unnaturally flat lighting or barely bothering to dress up a set in a believable fashion. This shooting style still seems largely centered on still images, not videos, and that may rub you and your aesthetic sensibilities the wrong way.

Really, a Barely Legal membership is much the same as a Hustler membership. Both provide access to each others' archives, leaving out very little, if any, items. Navigation tools are basically the same on both sites and lead you in the same direction. It's clearly great to have access to both, but a little more variety and unique style to each would make it even better.

Conclusion:
Barely Legal's name and reputation precede it, I'm sure, giving you a hint of what's to come from this, the magazine's online digital archive of photo and video smut. A division of Hustler, Barely Legal joins its parent studio, sharing an archive that members simply narrow or expand depending on their viewing preferences. A strong stream of updates keeps this already huge site growing every week, every month, until it brings you every porno scene you could ever really want or need. Now, the HD video program could use work, 1080p HD videos only appearing every 15th or 20th update and most scenes streaming and downloading at 540p. Quite where Barely Legal is headed, this reviewer unfortunately cannot say for sure, but Larry Flynt's teen-loving crew have built up plenty of good-will among porn fans. Maybe those who stick around will be rewarded as only Flynt, Hustler, and Barely Legal can.
