Sites where I wasted my money Thanks to all those PU-reviews in particular - there is a hint of fine and not so fine sites to join. But just thought about: How did I spend my money over a period, lately? The sites that were good/ok - some ended up as reviews, those that were not so good/useless - well, some here did not go for a review at all. Still: I'd like to hear from fellow PUs which sites you guys really felt bad about spending your money on: I have a couple: https://www.thebestporn.com/review/18onlygirls/ https://www.thebestporn.com/review/rascaldog/ https://www.thebestporn.com/review/babespottingtv/ And the LATEST version of: https://www.thebestporn.com/review/babestv/#review "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" Edited on Jan 17, 2010, 06:45am | |

There is already enough negativity around this website Porn is to be enjoyed, and many take their reviewing "duties" too seriously. Remember when porn used to be $100 for one poor quality VHS tape? Now it's $20 for a downloadable archive of 1,000 scenes, and such sites still get hammered left and right. Not enough content, not enough speed, too big of a watermark, if the site is off-line just one day out of the 30, etc. I don't know | |

See your point - still I consider this site as a place to make/get recommendations/non-recommendations and warnings about pornsites to the benefit of all... The best thing about TBP/PU is that mutual help - in spite of different taste and views. (But there's a lot of crap out there - and that's where TBP/PU is a great service to this user). Cheers!

I agree that porn is to be enjoyed. Can't say that's much of a revelation. While things do sometimes get petty, most the criticism here is constructive, and it has lead to improvements in some of the sites that get listed. And getting back to that "enjoyment" concept, better quality content does help. If you've never seen an oversized watermark, well, lucky you. And you don't have to take seriously that some people here take their reviewing "'duties'" seriously, either. But I'm sure you meant to sound "positive" by saying that, even though you didn't. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

Depending on who you talk to, that idea might be self-evident, or a piece of propaganda from the devil. Lol. Are you considering writing your own Book of Revelation? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." But one of the main functions of PU is to help us separate the real from the crap, finding a worthwhile site to spend our porn dollars on. I find it much easier reviewing a site that I really liked, instead of criticizing a site that I thought was a waste of my money. Also, I mainly stick to the major softcore sites. There's less disappointment that way. But I have been burned by joining other sites that I found to be waste of time and money. Sometimes I want to try something a little different, or I really like one or more of the models at a site and I'm hoping the site will be ok to good, and it turns out to be a waste. But people's tastes differ, and something that I find a piece of crap/disgusting might be extremely enjoyable to someone else, especially where you get into fetishes and whatnot. The only site on Denner's short list I might have considered joining is 18 Only Girls. But Denner's recent review of the site, with its low score and warnings of poor quality and other problems, tells me that site would be a waste of my time and money.

It is really just as subjective as sites you really like. Despite feeling you have wasted your money there, others may enjoy the content. If it is bad for reasons other than content, I suppose there may be some value in it. After all this is a place for both praise & brickbats.

Of course porn is to be enjoyed and it is a solid source for entertainment for me. However, while justme may say he see's too much negativity here at PU, I say there can never be to much constructive criticism. Foremost, the number one thing is that we are PAYING OUR MONEY to pay sites. Therefore, I like all and any objective and subjective info I can get on a site. Sorry, but I don't just go out spending my hard earned money on just anything. Plus, since the recession and hard times that many including myself am going through getting all the info on a site is crucial because I am at a budget of about 1 site per month now. I don't want to join some 'okay' or 'average' site and be disapointed completely. Then, I'm stuck with that site as my only porn entertainment for a whole month. That does not sound like a very smart way to spend money. As far as the reviews go, I don't take them extremely serious at all. I just try to provide details that I feel are important when I am persobally looking at a review to join to help make a decision. I'm sure others and I leave out a lot of details or points that many others would want. As far as the point about porn being expensive to buy back in the day. True story but it was also a lot harder to make and distribute porn back in the day so production was 10x more expensive. Also, the overll profit was way less so charging more was way more eligible. I think using this analogy is unfair when it comes to paying for porn at a website in 2010. I know that certain things may get downgraded quite negatively while others may feel they are trivial (download speeds, site going down for a day, etc) but one has to remember that when making a website in anything that involves profit that it is a business. I'm sorry but I may be an asshole but I don't like to see lazy and untrustworthy businesses getting rich with my hard earned money if I can avoid it. My 2 cents...

I don't know if there is a lot of negativity as much as there is a lot of passion. It's true that many of the comments lately have been leaning toward the negative but that's because many respectable porn businesses have started to do less than honorable things. I'd say that the large majority of us are paying for our porn as oppose to downloading it for free from porn tube sites so it gives us a little more grounds to complain about what we find wrong. I don't think I've ever given a site a bad rating for a temporary slowdown in sevice but if it's chronic during my membership then I feel obligated to mention it and my score will reflect that issue. Little Mut was a good example of a site that looks really good but that has amazingly slow surfing and downloading speed. Evil Angels is another one that had sporadic speed issues. I was having some log in issues with 21sextury but it's fix as of this morning. The problem lasted for a few days but in no way will this affect my upcoming review(s). Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm sure Denner isn't looking to pump a bunch of negativity into the forum. He's obviously run into more than a few sites that he felt didn't even warrant reviewing. Most of us try to put up balanced reviews, pointing out the good and the bad so people can decide for themselves if a site's worth joining. All Denner's done is warn us - without reviews - that there are sites that don't have much worth looking at. He's simply asking if anyone else has some warnings for us. Just because porn is infinitely cheaper than it used to be, doesn't mean you should accept anything less than a good product. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

I think this topic - Sites where I wasted my money - is a good one. It's the dichotomy that I find striking - there are sites that consistently post high quality material for extremely reasonable prices - MetArt, Twisty, Nubiles, etc - and then there are sites that never update or have very little material or have impossible navigation or do other things that make it a waste to join those sites - for most of us, anyway. Separating the wheat from the chaff is what PU and this forum are good for. I do, however, get impatient with the posts around here that just - to me, anyway - are displays of boredom - the "man, porn used to be so much better" posts. I get impatient with them because I don't find any accuracy in that stuff - there are great sites out there posting wonderfully erotic material of incredibly hot women in better quality than ever before. If people are bored, they should just let all their memberships lapse and go away for a while - I bet when they return they'll find porn somewhat more rejuvenated, miraculously - or they'll move on with their lives and that's not so bad either. | |
