Open Life review
Sometimes, you just get a real hankering for one of those legacy pornstars that, for whatever reason, faded from the scene rather than adjusting into a different niche as they aged. That can be a little difficult, of course, but that’s where today’s reviewed site comes into the picture. Open Life is all about older content, especially from pornstars who don’t produce content anymore, alongside a surprising amount of secondary content like bloopers and more. Why don’t I go ahead and take you into the library for this interesting, and very different, porn site?
No Updates In Years, Around 1,700 Videos, Some FHD Content
The first thing to get out of the way is that Open Life very simply doesn’t update anymore, and it hasn’t in almost a decade as of the time of writing for this review. This site isn’t adding “new” older scenes, it’s simply a legacy collection at this point. But if that’s precisely what you’re looking for, then that’s OK. The library as it stands contains roughly 1,750 individual videos, which is hardly a small collection. Some of these are available for download and streaming alike in up to Full HD, and they have an average run-time of 25 full minutes per video. So far, so good, so let’s take a look at the site itself.
Mobile-Responsive Site Design, Good Features but No Resolution Filters, Daily Download Limit
Here we get some mixed good and bad, so why don’t we start with the bad? First of all, there’s no way to filter the content here by resolution, so it’s difficult to say how much of the library is FHD, or to only browse that stuff. There’s also a daily download limit. It’s decently reasonable at 300GB, but it’s still there and should be kept in mind. On the other hand though, there are some great features on the site, like an advanced, plenty of tags and a good list of categories, plus comments and ratings. The site itself is also nicely mobile-responsive.

MY APPROVAL!
That Open Life still exists is definitely a good thing. However, I rate most porn sites on their library, with a heavy bias toward the update schedule. And that’s a good thing in most cases, it doesn’t really apply here, because Open Life is more like a collection of legacy media; a reminder of the nostalgic places where we’ve been. And on that level I find it quite valuable, as I hope you do. As I result, I feel like this one lands solidly in the ‘good’ category. I’m awarding Open Life with not just my recommendation, but also an overall score of 74.7 points.
