Fetish Fish formulates the facts, good or bad about fetish porn sites in comprehensive
reviews. You can rely on our concrete criteria carefully developed specifically
for fetish content. We recognize that for a true fetishist, it’s not just
porn, it’s purity of presentation and theme. Besides the Hook, Line and
Sinker described in the write-ups, we tabulate the score of every site using
the same standards, helping to insure our judgments remain as objective as possible.
To understand how we measure whether sites measure up, please read our formula
for separating the real deals from the fetish fakers outlined below.
Video Quality (10 points) Image clarity/sharpness and video
resolution
10 points: 2000+ video encoding
9 points: 1400-1999k video encoding
8 points: 1000-1399k video encoding
7 points: 700-999k video encoding
6 points: 500-699k video encoding
5 points: 300-499k video encoding
4 points: 100-299k video encoding
3 points: 100k or less video encoding
And so on...
*Sept 9, 2010: For cam sites, the video quality score will grade the fluidity/movement of the average cam on that site.

resolution

And so on...

Purity (10 points)

8 points: some main content depicts other themes than main fetish
7 points: about one third of material relates to other fetishes/themes
6 points: just over half of content follows main fetish
5 points: only half of content relates to main fetish
And so on by approximate percentages of fetish content…
Content Amount (10 points) Number of sets of pictures and
videos combined. Extremely small galleries or short clips are grouped together
instead of counting as individual sets.
10 points: 400+ sets
9 points: 201-400 sets
8 points: 101-200 sets
7 points: 31-100 sets

5 points: every 3 weeks
4 points: monthly
3 points: every 2 months
2 points: an update 3-4 months ago
1 point: last update during the stoneage
Organization (10 points) Sites lose points for objectively
unattractive or amateurish graphics, dead links, multiple links to same content,
multiple back clicks to exit areas, lack of help or clear instructions. Anything
that makes it difficult to see all the content available or makes the site appear
unprofessional will count against it at the reviewer’s discretion with
details described within the review itself.
Unique Content (10 points) If main content (not including
extras or bonuses) is 100% exclusive content the site gets full points. Any
site that contains a mix of exclusive and non-exclusive main content will receive
a score out of ten approximating the percentage of original material contained
on the site.
Downloadable Videos (5 points) Sites earn
full points for having downloadable main content clips or zero
for having streaming videos only.
Value (10 points) = (content amount score + price score)/2
(rounded off)
Price score is based on a prorated amount determined by the first full month
membership fee divided by 30 days. Trial period pricing, multi-month subscriptions
or lower recurring charges are not used since discounted rates vary greatly
between sites.

service.
