The Boredom Factor! Have you ever been tempted to downgrade your original review of a site because, after a while, the boredom factor struck when you realized that your highly rated source of porn was being repetitious and stuck too closely to a formula rather than offer something new and different once in a while? | |

This relates closely with the thread, "exposure of follow up review", but to answer your question, yes. I think this is the case with most web porn -in particularly most mainstream sites-try to stick to a proven formula, which can easily become a tired cliché Edited on Apr 13, 2008, 09:57am | |

"The Boredom Factor" as you call, is indeed very real. However I made a bit of an executive decision to notify the public of it, but not let it change my review score. The site that this was an issue with was All Internal. Their product is first class, the girls are usually at least cute (in a very porn starlet way) and the action is easy to see - as in well lit, good camera angles, et cetera. The website is exceptional. They have indexes, browsing capability, user ratings and reviews, streaming and downloads, tons of viewing sizes, photos - the works really. The problem came in that basically, the content was extraordinarily similar from scene to scene. They found a formula a few years back and they won't change it for hell or high water. To top it off, these models are never native English speakers, so if they spoke it was in broken English most of the time (they had a few that were better, but not many) so you couldn't even hope for the model's personality to come through and really change up the scene a lot. I like the site, but I would definitely recommend having at least one other membership at the same time because you will start banging your head on the wall if you have to look at another iteration of the same scene. Give yourself a bit of a break and the site will begin to look interesting again. Being that porn is usually intended to be seen at the rate of one scene at a time, I find it is unfair to rate a site as boring if the scenes by themselves aren't if spaced out properly. So I simply mention it, but I rate it as if I was viewing each scene bright eyed and bushy tailed. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Yes, I basically feel the same way. Judge as if you were seeing what a site has to offer for the first time. I had a similar problem you had with All Internal. Mine was with Abby Winters. And that's why my question this morning. Would it be fair to go back and change a rating just because one got bored? Abby's was the first review I ever did and I was absolutely gushy about the site (as you might have noticed I'm always carrying on about wanting to see "natural models" and not Barbies) yet the excitement wore off very quickly because, in my opinion, Abby sticks to her formula too closely and after a while you tend to get bored with the sameness even though the models change. | |

Replying to malikstarks: You are right this does relate closely to the other thread. I hadn't paid attention to that one. But thanks for the input. I needed to hear that others feel the same way! | |

The main problem is lack of personality coming through from the model. I think that's what accounts for a lot of the "sameness," but not all of it, of course. Beautiful, sexy, charming, photogenic -- it's asking for a lot, I know, but that's what I want. Marina/Euphrat is a great example of that fairly rare model who has it all. Just about everything I've found of her I've gotten. A lot of the poses might start looking the same, but it doesn't matter because I'm simply captivated by her. Sometimes it might be the photographer's fault. There's a new girl at HegreArt named Mia who, when she smiles, really shows a lot of sparkle and charm. But the galleries have too many photos of her with a plain and almost disinterested expression. "Naked Boredom" is less than 50% OK. Toys, I think, are a major problem, because any kind of props are going to distract attention away from the model's personality most of the time. Toys are done to such EXCESS that they lose all effect! The worst thing, though, is when, in response to complaints about boredom, the photographers (directors, whatever) take things in a kinky direction, with food play and whatnot. They just don't get it. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. Edited on Apr 13, 2008, 11:52am | |

Foodplay ... eeek! I totally agree with you when it comes to toys. I had read someone's assessment of Simon scans and thought I'd give it a look. Nothing but toys, so I passed. I would like to see more diversity within a site when it comes to age, weight, lingerie, no lingerie, hair, no hair etc. In other words, something for everyone. Not just a steady diet of the sleek, shaved late teens to early twenties that everyone seems to be enamored with. | |

Yes, indeed. The true stars of SimonScans are about 8 (or more) inches tall and 2 (or more) inches wide and are, in terms of colors and features, a virtual rainbow of diversity. But that's where the variety STOPS (sccrrreeeech! Bam!). For mind-numbingly repetitive toy obsession, SimonScans has no equal, and that's really saying something. And it's been that way for years. Even Marina/Euphrat gets upstaged by the plastic injection-mould crowd. You definitely made the right decision! I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

That's it: "The Boredom Factor" - brilliant, messmer! And it's precisely why we all could benefit from a new kind of follow-ups. (maybe) Unlike most of the honored PUs here I'll not mention all those sites that after a while hit exactly: "The Boredom Factor" - but they are many. Too many. It still gets more and more difficult to find sites where the reaction - ones inside -:) - are just plain: WOW. And what do we do - go back to the old wellknown ones - hoping the updates might do the trick... So yes, HELP - I'm bored... Where are all the dazzling girls I once enjoyed? They are yesterdays news....alas. It's not the first time I'm fed up with poor new stuff, but at this moment I'm tired of porn-sites - believe it or not - so: Where is the new wild, crazy, great site with splendid girls that once again can get the libido flaming??? BTW: Fine thread there, messmer!!! "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" Edited on Apr 14, 2008, 10:11am | |

I believe we are becoming too jaded, Denner. We've been to too many places and have seen too much and the thrill is starting to fade, that's why I believe that "niche" sites will eventually disappear to be replaced by ones that have a bit for every taste. Networks attempt to do that but don't pay enough attention to some of their sites who go dead for lack of updates. When it comes to single sites there hasn't been a single one, no matter how good, that didn't become ho-hum for me well within my trial month. Who knows maybe the various legislators in different countries won't even have to make laws against Internet Porn, maybe we'll all simply lose interest, except for the very young among us. I hope I won't live to see that day! :-) When it comes to follow-ups I still feel that we should go by first impression, rather than by how we feel after we've been at a site for a while. I don't think there's a single one that wouldn't drop in the ratings if we rated it after we've been there for a while (especially longer than a month) because of the boredom factor. On the other hand follow ups might be good to alert users to the fact that a site has really slipped. So there's an argument to be made for both positions. Signing off to look for a wild and crazy site! :-) | |

The boredom factor for me is seeing a lot of new sites that offer the same content ideas over and over. 1. Wife screws pornstar in front of husband. 2. Interracial sites are almost always WF/BM 3. American Milfs paired with guys that are just as old as they are. 4. The propensity to always include girl/girl content on straight sex, hardcore site. Girl/Girl is not hardcore. 5. Blow jobs last forever, but little to nil M/F cunnilingus. | |

Boredom is a very real factor. I've certianly got sick of the way sites do things, but it doesn't alter my overall opinion of a site. I got sick of 1 by day, but that didnp;t alter my opinion that it's one of the bets site's I've ever seen. That's why I change my sites every month, in the same way a ram likes to change ewes. | |

This boredom factor is real yes, that's why I usually don't write a review on the first day of joining. I like to wait at least a month and see then how I think about it. As Denner said, it may be an idea to have the option of making a follow-up review like the staff can. | |

Agree with what you are all saying. Have you ever noticed how even skin colour is the same on those sites? You can see one model on one site and she has exactly the same skin as all the others. See that same model on a different site and her skin loooks totally different. It's why some of the people here go on about the more natural look. The boredom threshold will kick in because if all the models look the same, it will be like just lookng at one model all the time. That is boring. | |
