TIM used to be so creative in their decadence and really committed to pushing things over the edge. There was a sense of play--"how many loads can you take" taken to the ultimate extreme: they had frozen "devil dicks" made out of lots of guy's cum; men opening multiple used condoms and drinking the contents; films with guys going to gloryholes sucking all these different cocks, spitting into a container, then using the cum later as lube. You had Dawson going for what felt like world records of loads; Christian doing things like 24 cocks in 24 hours (and getting fucked with a dildo shaped like a cross); it felt like this world where everybody was trying to be the piggiest people on earth, not giving a shit about the risks, and, you know, having fun with it.
Sure Prep lowered the feeling of risk, but I don't think that's TIM's main problem these days, at least it's not for me. I'd still really want to see their films if they felt even half as creative in cock and cum play as they once were, or flirted again with that edge of going too far. But whereas TIM used to have crazy things like what I mentioned above, now most of their films are like: here's a duo, now here's a threeway, here's another duo, here's a small gangbang with the same people you've seen in many of our other films. It's not any different than what everybody else is offering. TIM used to have a real identity, but I don't see much difference anymore between them and, say, Dark Alley Media, in that, yeah, they have the occasional good scene, but more often it feels cookie cutter, distanced from feeling all that real, and keeps starring either the same bunch of people all the time or people who look a lot like those people. C'mon, TIM, shock us again. Get some of your edge back.
