Have you ever subscribed to too many sites at once? I’m not posting this as a humble-brag, I’m interested to know if anyone has ever made this mistake. Over Christmas I took advantage of several of the great deals that TBP offered and it turned out that for the first time in my porn-collecting life I got burned out and it seemed more like work. I joined Reality Kings which has around 20 sites that are active. I joined Nubiles Porn with around eight active site. I joined Team Skeet with around 20 active sites. I joined Mofos with a dozen active sites. I joined Naughty America with a bunch of active sites and I joined Kink with around 20 active sites plus a bunch of affiliates. I joined Tushy, Tushy Raw and Blacked Raw. On top of that I joined Amateur Allure and Black Payback without TBP discounts. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I got burned out. I had to force myself to go online at Kink and see what I wanted to download. My memberships are all drawing to a close and I’m glad for it. I think I might take a month off. Has this ever happened to you? (And I see that TBP is offering discounts to mark the AVN awards. Christ… can’t a guy get a break?!? | |

Not quite the same thing, but there have been times when I joined too many sites to visit them all. A waste of money. Sometimes I forget I have a sub to a porn site. Not a joke. Getting old, and my brain forgets. So I should write down my subs and keep better track of them. I have some subs that I wish would run out, so I could replace them with better ones. But---I really don't have the time or enthusiasm to visit all the subs I have, even the good ones. That Adult Time is like a gold mine. Over 100 sites, many of them top quality. Not enough time or energy to visit and look over what's there. A shame. But you're still young enough to enjoy the amazing variety offered on the internet. For a very low price. Wait until you're 20 years older, then you will look back at the good old days, and think, "Wow, smell the roses!" Seriously, enjoy what you have. And if you can't enjoy it, then take break and come back when you're ready. | |

^ Thanks for the comments. I do keep a record of my subscriptions. I use a table in a Word document. I track the site name, the join date, username, password, biller, the date I need to cancel and the date that I do cancel the membership. This has been a great tool for me. I can easily keep track of all my subscriptions and at a glance I can see when I need to cancel a membership. It also has the added bonus of allowing me to see past subscriptions dating back four years. That means that if I want to join a site I can check the last time I was a member there so I know where to start searching for new videos when I do join. And in some cases where I've been burned by a bad membership I can add a note so that I won't ever rejoin it. | |

There must be different versions of Adult Time. I got a 1-month join and I don't find it to be the most exciting thing in the universe. I'm definitely not seeing 100+ sites. The gold mine I discovered, for my tastes, is PornHub Premium. ALL KINDS of content, much of it downloadable - solo=girl tease, glamour stuff, gritty amateur stuff, hot Asian porn, bikini contest footage, compilations of hot celeb scenes, lots of scenes from premium sites, often slightly edited, as promos to get you to join their sites. The stuff from premium sites is usually stream-only, but that's fine. But as to the original question, yes, I definitely have at times. | |

A PU staff member said that Adult Time is still in beta testing. Maybe that means that different versions are being offered to random members. Anyway, the Adult Time site shows 47,943 as the number of videos at the site, although I've seen Adult Time also advertise over 50,000 videos at the site. As far as sites (Adult Time calls sites channels), there are over 100 channels listed. I assume that the sites are from Gamma Entertainment, which manages the 21 networks, Fame Digital (Devils Film, Rocco Siffredi, etc.), Evil Angel, Girls Way, etc. I've got full access (streaming and downloading) at those sites. The current number of channels that I see listed is 139, most of the channels are premium porn sites that either required a separate membership or were part of a porn network that required a separate membership. I have a separate membership to Devils Film, that I paid for, that has months to go before expiring. But since I get full access to Devils Film through the Adult Time network, that was wasted money: except they didn't give me the Adult Time membership until I joined 21 Sextury. I don't know in what form or how they will offer the Adult Time network once it's past beta testing. But I got lucky with my 21 Sextury membership, because they gave me the Adult Time membership for free, with apparently full access to the entire Adult Time network, as far as I can tell. https://www.adulttime.com/ This is the adult time site. You might be able to see what they are offering if you go to the site and hit the join link. That doesn't work for me, because when I go to the site, since I'm already a member, it transfers me directly to the member's area, so I can't tell what the join site is advertising for it's contents or members. | |

Years ago when i first found online porn, I would join ten, twenty or more sites a month. It was all on my credit card, so it was easy to forget what I spent. I got into major financial trouble and it took months to pay off the subscriptions. I would join a site, see something else, and join the new site too. It was a dark time. I've since been very cautious about subscriptions I take. I usually only have one or two a month, and I look for sales and discounts. Besides having too much porn to look at it all, paying for porn can lead to serious financial issues. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

^ I've been fortunate that when I started collecting online porn the internet wasn't fully evolved and there wasn't a lot available. As the offerings expanded and we got better internet connections I did okay in just taking one or two memberships per month. One thing that changed that was finding TBP/PU that offered discounts to sites. With discounts I'm able to join several sites per month. And with the reviews I can avoid crappy sites and scam billers. My most recent case at Christmas wasn't too bad financially because of the discounts offered. Many of those memberships were bargains. | |

Loki..... a fallen angel ? Dogma is such a great movie ! However, I believe 1 site is enough nowadays, per month. Rip everything you want, and then join another. You can only watch 1 movie at a time, after all. | |

Even if I am subscribed just to one site, I can get annoyed if I end up too busy IRL to check it out enough to feel like I am getting my money's worth. But in the end, I seldom spend money on sites that don't have some sort of discount and so often they're not costing more than I pay for Netflix. I often don't have time to watch it, either. Of course, I am not the best at keeping to a budget, so my attitude toward wasting money is probably too relaxed! | |

^ I'm with you that I look for discounted sites but occasionally there's a site I see that I want to join and all my better judgement goes out the window. But if I don't know the site or don't know and trust the biller I will plan ahead and use a prepaid card at least. | |

Being a porn collector I frequently did this in the past and sometimes I still do it. For the moment I have an active monthly subscription to Stiffia, Evil Angel and Adult Time. I took one on Reality Kings too but cancelled it a few minutes later because the porn deal only included streaming and I needed to pay the same amount as I did for the deal to get the download option. For a porn collector streaming is unfortunately not an option for me. As many members do I also look for porn deals and sometimes there are more then one site with discounts I'm interested in hence the fact that more then once I subscribed to several porn websites at the same time. Other occasions I did this is when I was looking for the works of a specific female model or female porn star. Some models or porn stars appear on tons of websites. Is or was this a good idea? TBH as Ik2fireone correctly stated, it is often a waste of money subscribing to many porn websites at once. ISP's can enforce download limits, some porn websites have a daily download limit, hard disk space will always be a problem, etc.;... Frankly you will never get the time to check, stream or download all the videos or movies from each porn website you signed up to. Another consideration I took into my mind is the fact that some porn websites are hard to cancel their subscription. Maybe I will stick to network porn websites like Brazzers, DDF, Adult Time, etc.,.. certainly when there is a deal going on but I probably won't sign up to several of these porn websites at once anymore. | |

Similar to Otrivine, I've ran into the problem since I'm a collector. I remember joining 7 or 8 sites in a month just to get 1-2 exclusive Eve Angel scenes from each. Often times, I wouldn't go back to the sites after downloading the Eve scenes and would forget about the subscriptions. I don't have the problem as often now since there aren't many active porn stars I collect. I do see my collecting becoming more genre-related. I have some folders like "Dominant women" that aren't model-specific. The most sites I remember having subscriptions to at one time was 12 but that was years ago. I try to stay in the 1-3 range per month and offset them by at least a week so they continue to last throughout a month. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk Edited on Feb 15, 2019, 12:43am | |
