Free Porn Ain?t All That Free In an earlier lifetime I was a webmaster/mechanic. Once or twice a month I would get an urgent email reporting that a URL had been hi-jacked(or expired and acquired) and links to insurance companies or manufacturers were being routed to "particularly offensive adult sites". (upon investigation, they were actually quite tame) It seems that problem has come full circle. In the past two weeks or so, while surfing a string of TGP sites, I find I?m continually linked to car insurance or recipe sites, and something quite annoying called Jokeroo. Even the bulk of clicks that stay in the porn quadrant are directed to totally unrelated niches, (click on an 18 year old hard-belly and get a fornicating grandmother... naked gymnasts will deliver she-males at the county fair.) If I never again see the word "tube" in a URL, that would be quite OK. Free porn has a purpose. It is how people with money find places to spend it. We are hard-wired to be interested in the reproduction process. Women and men find fascination in that process, albeit in the recreational portion of that process. Many, mostly male like to look, or watch. It is upon this quirk that the industry is largely built. The client wants to look and the TGP provider wants advertising and click-thrus and the revenues they generate. The truly free porn is mostly crap. The TGP sites posting professionally produced erotica are providing a service to those producers. They send the money-bearing porn buffs to a place they can spend their money. Some, not that many, TGP sites subscribe to the "what you click is what you get" school of thought. I have begun deleting the others from my favorites file. Two weeks ago, I had 6000 plus porn-sites bookmarked I have deleted a thousand plus and have not passed the letter F. ( ok it needed housekeeping ) Miles to go before I sleep. I really do have a life. A main thrust at PU appears to be, not promoting free porn. I'd suggest if the paysites would improve their sites, the battle would not be so uphill. I'm not talking content. Show me any image or video that is remotely erotic and I'll show a long line of aficionados that will rave about it. There is nothing more diversified than pornography and the people who love it. There is no bent that hasn't an army of followers. What desperately needs improvement is the look, the navigability, and the maintenance of the pay-sites that already exist. I have subscribed to forty or fifty pay-sites in the last ten or twelve years. In all, the experience has been disappointing. A site with great content and minimal navigability doesn't work. Web mechanics practice a skilled craft. The really good ones know that the bulk of their users don't have a comparable skill-set. With the skills I have, it took me a week to find zip files on a site I paid money for a month ago. If they cannot make their sites easy to travel, they are doomed to fail. Each pay-site needs to include a user?s tutorial. I have seen few on the internet and none in this industry. They need to know that when a paying client spends a great deal of time on their sites, the smallest of annoyances becomes a very large item of contention. The four reviewers with TBP are remarkable. The problem is that over the years they have become quite web-savvy and can negotiate the sites they review, more skillfully than their readers. Someone less seasoned will rant and rave about navigational issues and can then report to the reviewers for the final draft. You won't even have to pay them. There are probably a few PU members who might do it for free access to a site. You will also find a much wider range of sexual preference. A straight will probably not have as much fun reviewing a gay or tranny site. My suggestion: The writers at TBP and the members of PU might consider creating a generic tutorial (not specific to a particular pay-site) that gives a beginner or semi-seasoned porn user a basic ground school for web based porn. It's probably already there but spread out over thousands of threads. This tutorial could then be a basis for tutorials written to be pay-site specific. The tutorial should include a basic understanding of types of images and resolutions. Why is a large image better than a small one? You have to scroll to see the whole thing. Is a wmv better than an AVI, Mpeg4 or QuickTime. What the hell is a codec? CFNM? BBW? Camel Toe? That's a reach. Nowhere in the animal kingdom can they come up with a better body part to euphemize a vagina? OK that was my September rant. If they outlawed porn on the internet, there'd only be one website left. "bringbacktheporn.com" unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. Edited on Sep 26, 2011, 11:25pm Edited by Staff on Sep 26, 2011, 07:11pm | |

There are two excellent guides at PU on how to write a site review that many PU members have seen. These are guides, not a rule book, and PU members are basically free to write their reviews however they please. But anyone who follows these guidelines will probably write an excellent review. The original guide, written by Toadsith: Porn Users Cheat Sheet: https://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum_thr...57&showPost=7#_7 The modified Porn Users Cheat Sheet (written by Wittyguy): https://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum_thr...&showPost=49#_49 The thread that contains both these guides, started by Wittyguy, is also an excellent read for anyone who wants to know how to write a good site review.

Excellent post Micha, with some good ideas. I especially agree about navigability problems: Not much point having great porn if no one can find it. Also like the idea of TBP doing a beginners guide in one easy place. I second your feelings about the absurdity of Camel Toe too. Might as well use Frog Nostril, Dog Tail, or Ardvark Thigh.
