Reviews And The Age Gap! If advertisers are right in assuming that people of a certain demographic will basically have the same taste, even though those tastes may vary when it comes to small details, then maybe listing one's age in a review might be helpful. This is the motivation for my post: I've responded on quite a few occasions to favorable reviews by trusted folks in PU only to find hours into a new subscription that the site totally leaves me cold. I think the age gap should be taken into consideration in every review, possibly by the reviewer stating his age at the end of the review so that the various age groups could find a site that suits their age. Age gap, you say? Porn is porn is porn! Not so, say I! :-) I'm over fifty, for me pubic hair is the normal look not a fetish, thongs (as one of our members puts it, is it www?) are meant for feet, natural breasts are preferred, so is a body unblemished by piercings and tattoos. Slinky, silky underwear is greatly appreciated. For those from 18 to, let's say, thirty-five the shaved look is natural, hair below is a turn off, big breasts even if false are greatly desirable, cotton and denim are in, thongs and pantyhose are droolable items of apparel etc. etc. I could find tons of other differences in taste if I stopped for a minute. As usual one has to generalize to a certain extent and it might very well be that a twenty year old has tastes similar to mine while a fifty year old likes cotton and denim and thongs. But, generally speaking, if someone wrote a review and I read "Age 47 or Age 21" on the bottom of his effort I feel I would be better guided when looking for a site. What do you think? Or would it be easier just to read my post and memorize my likes and dislikes and make a little notation: Not suitable for messmer! Aw, just kidding!! | |

I agree with your statement as to an age gap. I am also over fifty and all that you say describes my taste as well. However, I don't think it is necessary or desireable to publish that information. We will always have individual tastes for reasons other than age. Just state your viewpoint and let the reader agree or disagree. | |

I agree that our taste change with time. I think that it's even truer, where porn is concerned. If you are over 40, then you remember a time where bush was not the name of a President, Whore was a profession and not something you called a female performer, blowjobs were for getting the guy hard and not just so we can hear slobering and see drooling, fake breast were found only on inflatable dolls, dialogue was part of all movies, 35mm was the standard for filming movies, and I'm sure you can add to the list. The fact of the matter is that most if not all of these things no longer exist, except from movies before the mid 80's. I actually believe there is an untapped market for that kind of porn. The age thing isn't really important to me, because there are many reviewers whom I trust, but that doesn't mean that their porn likes are the same as mine. I look at their other reviews, and if I find that they have similar porn interest to mine, then I'm more likely to enjoy their choice. Their age is never an issue. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Age may be a factor, but I don't think it's "the" factor in a user's tastes. The polls and discussions here have shown that the majority of "users" prefer natural breasts, even if they're small, and dislike implants, piercings, and tatoos. As for me, also past the big 5-0, it's the same. But I also prefer shaved pussies. I like to see them unobscured by the fabled bush, and the ones we see in porn and nude modeling are often very pretty! (Sometimes the ones in real life aren't as nice.) And silky undies, yeah. Can't go wrong with that. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

I can't really disagree with you, mbaya. The thread above was made tongue-in-cheek because I've been burned quite a few times lately when it comes to highly recommended sites. Twisty's especially comes to mind. I was initially enthused about the wealth to be found when I looked through the site and then got bored very quickly because there was a cookie cutter quality to it all. No excitement for anyone over forty, I shouldn't think. But, as I said, I'm just having a bit of fun with a subject (along with some wishful thinking). | |

LOL. You put it well re. past vs. present tastes! And I, too, believe there's an untapped market. I've been ready to subscribe to a new site and have a hard time finding one that meets my tastes. And, yes, I have found quite a few reviewers who mirrored my feelings on various subjects as well and trust them in their comments even if they are younger than I. Take the post as tongue-in-cheek with a bit of subconscious wistfulness making its way to the surface at the same time. It's that "untapped market" business! | |

There you go, the lack of silky undies, Drooler! That's what I really miss. The models whip off their tops and no bras, then unzip their denim shorts and show the world that they prefer to go commando! Sigh! Where's the suspense, where's the mystery? :-) And it is a hopeful sign that so many of our members prefer natural breasts .. could that be a trend? I seem to be seeing less silicone lately. | |

I don't know if it's occurred to anyone but age is one of the fields in the user profiles. Though, personally I suspect many user are less than honest about theirs (thought I can't imagine why). But, if they'll lie there they'll lie if they include the info in a review as well. The point of all this being, if the user chooses to make their age known (to aid others in evaluating thier remarks), then PU already has a vehicle in place for that.

I think what has also been lost over the years in porn is a sense of story, fantasy, mystery, teasing that may be more erotic than always being explicit etc. I think this kind of porn is not common and once was more than now. Porn has become more and more just sex and not much else. Many PU posters have commented that something is missing that they would like to see. You have to really search for better material and us older guys miss these aspects of porn in the past. However, the women in porn have consistently become better looking as well as better sexual performers. | |

It really comes down to the model, the photographer or videographer, and those involved in the editing. There are some damn sexy girls out there who can really work the camera IF the other participants know what they're doing. And some girls with pretty faces and nice bods just don't have it. And tats, piercings, changes of hair color, etc. aren't going to make a damn bit of difference. My point is that I agree that it's not really just about sex. It's about a feeling of intimacy, of being close and being turned on. Sex doesn't amount to shit without that. So we are asking for quite a lot. So many things can go wrong. I really appreciate it when things go well all the way through. It's pretty rare. But it's still worth asking for it and it's not too much to keep asking.

You're right, Khan. The vehicle is already in place and I even use it on occasion when it comes to the review of a site that looks promising. The article was written tongue- in-cheek to express discontent about how many porn users seem to be happy with the "bare bones" of sex, and to promote a bit of a discussion about the present state of the industry. I am glad to see that some of our users in this forum are already doing that, expressing the same frustrations and yearnings I do. I keep waiting for some smart entrepreneur to come up with a retro-site once they realize that there is a market for it. Not real retro with its faded, yellowed pictures etc. but a site imitating in story line, in development, in the teasing factor, in manner of dress the porn of yesteryear. | |

Wasn't trying to discourage the discussion. Was simply pointing out the profile field for those that might not remember its there. as far as your discussion ... A psychologist friend of mine once told me *most* people are drawn to the type of erotica (porn) that they enjoyed when they were young. He said while people's tastes would develop some, for the most part, they'd most enjoy the same kind of stuff they did when they first started exploring their sexuality.

Exactly, re. being drawn to the type of erotica one enjoyed in the past. Too bad so few sites recognize the potential when it comes to catering to different generations. It's not only the young that have the money for porn. And it's not only the erotica .. it's also the memories. | |

Good topic and I never thought of looking at it that way. But if I look at my own reviews, sites that reflect my age ( mid 40's) also reflect 80's early 90's porn and what was norm. Remember seeing Anna Nicole when I first had playboy on cable back in the late 80's and there was a light bush but none the less it was. Looking more today there is not so much the norm. True.... I was in the reviews poking around at VIDEOBOX, and saw many going yuk to a nice manicured bush saying ewww why isn't it shaven? I was like why shave it, its nice. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. As far as age and honesty I hope ppl are honest about the age in here, because it does help visitors know whom reviewed it, I know my taste are not that of an 18 year old and vise versa. But I also know that some ppl are closet pornoholics, they can quit when they want and come on here to boast there knowledge and hiding there porn in th drawer at home, but I dont think anyone here cares whats in your drawers LOL. But yes it would be nice if ppl kept the age correct on the reviews. Toadmix Since 2007 | |

I kept shaking my head in the same place (Video Box), to the same remarks re. bush. How could, within one decade, tastes change so much that something that was considered to be erotic throughout history all of a sudden become "yuk?" I think I found about three videos on that site that featured models au naturel, the rest were shaved. I'm getting used to the shaved look but can't understand the revulsion shown by younger PUs. It's a puzzling phenomenon. Same as I'll never understand their desire to get right to the action and skip the "boring" introductory parts. Without context doesn't a video just become three or four basic scenes of raw sexuality (bj, anal, dp etc.) endlessly repeated? Edited on Sep 02, 2008, 11:43am | |

In regards to finding proper natural women on Video Box - while they don't have a "hairy" category, their "Classic" section is pretty large now and I'd say about half the classic movies contain both plot and some (if not all) models with trimmed or natural pubic hair. As for the main topic - I'm sure if you group us users in age categories you'll find a definite statistical trend of preference towards specific porn categories. Of course, as always with Statistics, it is good at telling you things only about a group. It is useless with individuals. I, for example, have a very eclectic taste in porn - varying from softcore photography to bondage and extreme S&M themes. However, if I were to pick my absolute favorite porn, it would almost certainly hail from the 1970's. Also, my listed age is accurate - if I recall correctly it is required to retrieve our forgotten password (if ever forgotten) so I wasn't remotely inclined to lie. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

You are right, of course, Toadsith, I forgot about their classics section. I remember watching and enjoying "Deep Throat" wishing they made the same kind of video in 2008 and in HD. Because I seem to have a lingerie fetish my favorite porn would be solo women or g/g, age 30 - 50, dressed in 60s, 70s, 80s undies! No thongs or pantyhose, please. :-) I found a very good site recently but they never get completely undressed in that one so that's no good to me. I like to see the progression from completely dressed to completely nude with a bit of lewdness thrown in at the end. Come to think of it, this might mean that my "fetish" isn't full-blown otherwise I would only be interested in the lingerie! :-) Yay, there's hope! I'm normal after all .. or maybe not! BTW, good to see you again, you've been goofing off too often lately! | |

I'm not expecting a giant affro style bush, but must all female performers be without a single pubic hair today. I miss the well trimmed bush of the past. Do you realise that the shaving fetish is almost non-existent because of the bald pornstars. I'm with you on the undies, silk or otherwise. Didn't anyone ever tell them that part of pleasure in getting a gift is unwrapping it. Letting our anticipation build as more is revealed with each little corner being uncovered. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Maybe I'm a childish over-50 guy, but tattoos aren't an automatic turn-off for me - one of my all-time fave strip club babes had tattoos like crazy - fun ones like pin-up girls and things - and the combination of the artistic tats and her kittenish personality - ooo la la!! And thongs - hot! Fake boobs are so common that they're not an automatic turn-off if they fit the bod, but you can't do better than great naturals - Katie Fey and Amy Reid are two of the hottest women alive as far as I'm concerned. Shaved vs bush? Well, considering that ALS Scan is my favorite site, I'm clearly not against shaved. Bushes can be quite nice, as with Japanese women in their porn, but with women in their 20's or older, I prefer a trimmed pubic area - no designs, please - with shaved lips. Full satin panties do nothing for me. Full hosiery even less. So does age dictate tastes? Ehh, don't really think so. | |

No, I don't think they have to be without any at all. Some low-nap carpeting is fine by me. This is occasionally seen. As for the shaving fetish, well, it's a fetish, which means that it's not something the average person is into. When I've come across them, I've gotten just a few with the shaving going on and tossed out the rest. Don't need the "LP side version." (Oops! Showing my age! ;-) But the unwrapping is very nice to see. Seeing a girl's ass emerging from her coverings is especially delightful. The curves finally hanging out over the top edge ... Sometimes I go to pains to match up a model stripping at one site with nude-only from another. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

You are the proverbial exception to the rule, Pink Panther. Maybe there is also a bit of a misunderstanding. When I talk about hair and bush I do include trimmed. It's the reaction to any hair at all by the young 'uns (see remarks in Video Box) that's the baffler. And if by "full hosiery" you mean pantyhose, I'm with you all the way. | |
