Tricks of the Porn Trade: A Porn Rant (Placing soapbox on the ground and standing on it.)  I recently wrote a review about a site which decided to do something rather devious. The site is a well known name and has been around for 18 years. When I joined the site, they charged me $27.99 a month which is typical these days. I then went to the video page and clicked on a video to download when I was stopped. I was informed I would have to purchase a download portion for the subscription at an extra $14.99 a month. There was nothing on the title page about having to purchase an option to download their videos. There was no indication for two types of service: Streaming Only and/or Streaming with Downloads. I had already purchased the first month and wanted to download the videos. I couldn't demand a refund as they would state there is no mention of downloading on the title page. So they think their site is worth $43 a month? Sure, you get some bonus sites you don't really want as they feature porn found on every other bonus site offered out there. But I joined for the one site only. Also, many large multi level sites charge only $24.95 a month and include downloads. I don't know about other porn fans, but this seems sneaky to me. I feel as though I was tricked by the owner of the site. It also seems the corporate site owners only care about the bottom line these days. Another site I really liked has low quality videos masquerading as HD. Many only update once a week and decide to skip a week every other month. And don't get me started on the sites which recycle! So what are we to do? I did let the webmaster know about my opinion and have yet to hear back from them. The billing company was actually quite responsive and told me there had been many complaints as well as confused customers. That means I am not alone in this fight. Bottom line: They want our cash each month which can be used for other forms of entertainment. Summer movie season is coming and I do have a bunch of movies I want to watch first run. I'll spend my $17.50 for a ticket plus popcorn and a soda so add another $20. That equals one month or more on a porn site. So porn companies: Shape up or I'll spend the money going to the movies. Or maybe I'll actually pay a bill or two or pay back someone I owe money to. Keep up the shenanigans and you can kiss my hard earned money goodbye. End of rant, taking away soapbox...

I think paying $15 or more to see a movie in a theater is highway robbery. So I normally wait to watch a movie on DVD or on cable. Much cheaper. And the popcorn and soda is also cheaper. So it's been many months (maybe a year) since I've seen a movie in a theater. Also, I try to select porn sites that give me good value for my dollars. I suggest looking for a discounted membership to Adult Time. They have a large number of sites covering many different niches. Unlimited streaming, unlimited downloads. During the holidays, you can sometimes find a discounted membership to Adult Time for under $100 for the year. If you're lucky, you might find a discounted membership for 1 year at around $65, which is a great deal. There are other sites that are worth joining, but Adult Time is one of the best values out there. | |

I used the most expensive theater close to me as an example to state I would rather shell out that kind of money to see an over-hyped Hollywood CGI affair rather than be cheated the way I was at that site. Thanks for the heads up on Adult Time. I will be looking at them for future use. "Dogs think people are Gods. Cats don't as they know better." - Kedi (2016) Dogs have masters; Cats have staff. | |

I have a year long membership to adult time. It is pretty good but: "Sorry! There’s currently no gay content on Adult Time. The “Gay” toggle was added to gauge the interest in gay content, so you might see it soon depending on how much interest there is. You can help us decide if we should bring gay content to Adult Time by answering the following question: Are you interested in watching gay content on Adult Time?" Then there is a poll question. | |

I wish I had caught that in my review. Sorry. I still think Adult Time does a lot right and is what people have been wanting for years, but I'd now rate it a bit lower for raising the price after the introductory price, and for basically offering porn they don't have.

merc77, my bad. As mbaya wrote, there's probably no gay porn at Adult Time. There's plenty of lez porn, if that holds any interest for you. But I wasn't thinking when I recommended Adult Time. It has lots of straight porn, but no gay porn. | |

No problem, Ik2fireone. I keep saying to myself I will take a breather from porn sites in general. However, I keep joining new sites and rejoining older sites to see how they improve. Guess I'm a porn addict after all.  "Dogs think people are Gods. Cats don't as they know better." - Kedi (2016)Dogs have masters; Cats have staff. | |
