Wow! I might have to hire a downloading crew. Some of the VD sites (Asian reality) are $4.95! | |

One site that may belong is the porn hall of shame is tokyo-hot as far as price gouging. However, it seems to be aimed at the Japanese market and maybe it's a different story in Japan. [What I fail to understand is that how companies get away with no censoring in Japan if it's against the law, but that's another story.] The site is very confusing with its price structure, to this American anyway -- if offers a bunch of plans depending on download allowance. It's difficult to calculate actual cost since I think there's a point system and it's all in yen, but I came up with a figure of about $100/mo. for a decent download limit. Ethical or not, though I have no qualms, I've started checking out sites on the tubes before joining. I found a bunch of tokyo-hot videos which were good but not so special to warrant the kind of bucks they charge. I agree with the sentiment about Met Art and Kink. You get a plethora of excellent content in the former and a decent amount of very unique content in the latter. They are not sites that I'm personally interested in, but I think their fees are fair comparatively speaking. | |

I still go to movies weekly, a habit of a zillion years. I would miss my habit terribly if I was subjected to watching movies only on TV. I could never bring myself to watch a movie on a mobile device. I'm surprised to hear about AMC. The Jersey City AMC charges $6.95 for movies starting before 12pm. Unfortunately, I can't make too many of those. The price for NYC theaters is generally $15, $10 - $12 with senior discount. Yes, outrageous, but I'm addicted. The real crime is the snack bar. I haven't spent a nickel there for years, but I miss popcorn! I generally bring my own snack and I noticed many others do the same. The discussion brings back memories of a column I used to write from about 1995 - 2000. Forgive my reminiscing. Below is one such column. JOOK SEZ (name changed to protect the guilty) TOP TEN WAYS TO GET A GOOD MOVIE SEAT Going to the movies involves a lot more than seeing a movie. It can best be described as an unsocial event where you want to be left alone and not be distracted. Having a good seat and abiding by movie etiquette can play a large part in making the movie an enjoyable experience, even turning a one star movie into three stars. Being comfortable and feeling like your life is not threatened can only enhance your experience. Be mindful of others, or else you might find yourself on the wrong end of a 38. Like, don't walk into the theater blabbing at the top of your lungs. Even if the movie hasn't started, some people (ME!) enjoy the peace and quiet of a theater before showtime. That's why I hate friggin' commercials, but that's a subject for another top ten list. Some people, again, no names, actually stick out their feet to trip you as you walk down the aisle blabbing away. And if you are unavoidably late, make certain to not walk up to the front and realize too late that you can't see a thing and end up sitting on someone's lap (I learned that lesson the hard way). 1. Don't forget to buy your popcorn, Chinese food and soda outside the theater (get more soda than you'll need you'll see why, and don't cheap out and get water). That way, you won't feel so bad when you get ripped off by the $9.50 ticket price AND crummy seat. Actually, make sure you spill some of that extra soda on the floor for revenge. 2. Go to an early showing (duh). The later it gets, the more crowded it gets. 3. Go on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Like restaurants, those are the least crowded days. 4. Get there at least 5 minutes early, otherwise the seating choices are limited. 5. Know the theater layout. If you've never been to the theater before, pay a visit the day before and check out the theater your movie is playing. I know what you're thinking. How can you do this without buying a ticket? Simple. Just tell the ticket taker you just came out of the movie and you left something valuable in the theater and you don't want to wait till the mop up crew comes in and steals it. If you have a trusting face, it'll be no problem. Otherwise, like me, you might have to give the droid something valuable to hold onto to ensure your prompt return. 6. Have some sort of strategy BEFORE you walk into the theater. Don't walk in at 100 mph and stop half way in like a deer frozen by headlights. You'd be surprised how many people do this and end up in a coma for 5 minutes. Then you feel so embarrassed and desperate that you choose any old seat. The considerations that should go through your mind BEFORE you walk in are (1) how crowded you expect the theater to be, (2) if the movie just opened, (3) if it got rave reviews, (5) if it got lots of advertising, (6) if it's a documentary about the guy who invented the electric chair (really and truly!)?, etc. 7. If it's an early showing of a movie that you know won't be crowded, sit in your preferred seat. However, you must take precautions to ensure that your seat remains ideal. The first thing to do is put your coat on the seat in front of you. [this is a general rule of thumb at any showing.] You don't want Wilt Chamberlin waltzing in at the last second and blocking your view. I could make your zits pop with stories of that happening to me even with the whole friggin' theater empty. If it's summer and you don't have a coat, just spill some of that extra soda on the seat in front of you, or put your feet up on the front chair. 8. On a similar note to the above, don't sit right in front of someone if you don't have to. Some people, no names mentioned, get very upset at this sort of thing and kick your chair or accidentally spill some of that extra soda (which they read about carrying on susser sez) on your coat. 9. Don't tell anyone to shut up unless you're wearing a bullet proof vest or you know you're at least a foot taller than the blabber mouth you're shushing. 10. Now, for the most important tip. You get to your theater either right before the movie starts or after it starts and its half full or worse. This is a common situation for me, because I'm always seeing movies the second they come out. All thoughts of getting the ideal seat are abandoned for making the best out of the situation. If the theater has more than one entrance, take a minute to figure out which door most people go in, then enter the other door. It's precious time well spent. Right after you enter, STOP. Let your eyes adjust for as long as it takes. Scout the theater for where the most empty seats are and pick out where the troublemakers (kids and old men) are sitting so you can avoid them. Forget about the center. You're bound to get someone in front of you or someone obnoxious next to you. Scout the sides. Choose a seat where people are sitting in the row in front and there's one or two (if there's more than 2 of you, sit separately) seats available in the row behind with no one in front of those seats or anyone next to you. Voila! There's only a small chance anyone's gonna sit in front of you, and what are the chances someone's gonna sit right next to you? Or, you can wait for the movie to come out on video. | |

I just did some catching up after a personal absence and am happy to see such a thread. WG, I agree with most everything you say, a turnaround in my thinking from when I first joined this site. I did not have the benefit of the collective wisdom of veteran members at the time, not that I'm that much more enlightened now. I wasn't aware of the drawbacks of streaming then. I only bring this up because I'm guessing that many pornsters aren't as concerned with streaming as the PU membership. I think it's a losing battle to get streaming sites to change their ways if they have support and are profitable. Sort of like when Bill Clinton said to HW, "It's the economy stupid." [Sorry, couldn't help but bring politics into this, haha.] I know that TBP doesn't deduct for streaming only sites. But I don't think it's a big deal as long as it's made clear about the streaming, something I think they do in their cons section. I especially like your suggestion that an inclusion be made in all member reviews that a site is streaming. I'll go a step further and suggest that it be mandatory to state streaming, non-streaming or both be included in reviews. I agree that streaming sites need to restructure their pricing and I think to a small extent, that this is starting to happen. However, it's all about money. There are a handful of sites (pointed out on PU) that have different levels of membership. Unfortunately, most such sites are not transparent about their pricing policy. Some charge a ludicrous amount to get downloads. I do respectfully disagree that xx points be deducted from a review because a site is streaming only. The first issue I have with that is with sites that are upfront about streaming only. Why should they automatically be penalized if the consumer knowingly joins? [Before you call me hypocritical for doing just that in a fairly recent review, the reason for my point deduction is this review had more to do with the site not being upfront to the general public about streaming only even though I was aware of it.] In addition, and more importantly, if the system was changed to require a mandatory reduction in score for streaming, that opens a can of worms. One could argue that a lousy credit card biller, downloads that are less than stellar, sites that have poor navigation, sites that have no rhyme or reason to naming, blah blah... all require a point deduction. I proposed once before having a form for reviews that address such matters as streaming, cc biller, etc., be implemented here. Many sites have review forms. PU has a form but it is too free-form. I think a structured form would be enormously helpful. This does not necessitate eliminating a comments section. Another reason for a form - I have noticed at least several very brief unhelpful reviews as of late as well as in the past. I was guilty of the very same thing when I joined and had a few of my reviews rejected for that reason. I didn't know better because I didn't take the time to get the lay of the land or read the guidelines. For that I am guilty. However, I'm guessing many or most newbies act similarly and am not taking a personal shot at anyone. Regardless, the problem would be mostly eliminated with a form. I think the issue you raise has more to do with empowering the consumer with knowledge. Hence my argument to overhaul the review system here, which I think is at least one of the things you are saying. Thanks for bringing it up. | |

The video(s) I was referring to were on asiansexdiary.com -- specifically on this page... http://asiansexdiary.com/members/category/by-location/laos/. It is actually of a Laotian girl and is in the Laos section. The first video is called "Meeting Nam." Nothing happens except the actor gets her to go back to his hotel room and, per the actor appropriately named John, Nam needs to get permission from her mother to be with a foreigner. The actual sex video is called "Nam." The whole premise of the site gives me the chills. It's about one guy who travels throughout Asia picking up women and filming his exploits. I felt guilty for watching but couldn't stop myself. That is, until I saw the video of Na just yesterday. I'm curious what your thoughts are. I should also add that this is a company that professes to protect the women. All of the sites were streaming only for a while. The reason given was to protect the girls. I think that's a bunch of malarkey now. The site I'm referring to is still streaming only. I also find it very ironic that John remains anonymous and covers his face in the videos. | |

I’m starting to feel guilty about subscribing to amateur Asian sites, particularly the Vegas Dreamworks (VD) sites. Among others, they own Trike Patrol, a site I once said was my favorite site. I now believe they are exploitative even though the actors are “willing” participants. It could be argued that if VD didn’t put out these videos, the girls would find other ways to make money in the sex trade. It’s estimated that Thailand alone has 800,000 women that work in the trade. That’s an astounding number. But is that a viable excuse? I particularly have mixed feelings after seeing some of the videos on TukTuk Patrol, another VD Thai site, sort of Trike Patrol’s sister site. Trike Patrol takes place mostly in the Philippines. It was readily obvious that at least some, if not most, of these women were doing the videos because they had little choice. The video that prompted these thoughts was one that I found heartbreaking. It was of a Thai girl who had to get permission from her mother before making the scene. She got permission apparently. And honestly, she didn’t look 18. If one is to believe the story lines in the VD videos, no ID is checked. No condoms are ever used. The actors boast of their conquests. I don’t want to pontificate because I’m just as guilty as the next guy. I have supported these sites by subscribing and writing reviews. And by extension, PU supports these sites, or at least the VD sites, by listing them. But I’m considering changing my ways and boycotting VD and other similar studios. Am I missing something? Is this not inherently wrong? | |

I checked out their site. Very impressive. I like their FAQ, a rarity, especially for non-members. They have various plans based on daily downloads. Prices are in yen so I could be off by a few pesos. The least expensive is 6gb and $50/mo. The next least expensive is 12gb and $90/mo. I haven't seen those kinds of fees anywhere, or even close. Still, I'm willing to pay extra for a site that is fitting to my narrow view, for one month anyway. But they don't seem to offer a trial and I haven't seen any reviews. Would you care to do a review? | |

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure though, if either of those sites will appeal to me. They both look very mainstream, at least Japanese mainstream. I like amateurs and stuff a little out of the box. I could give a rat's arse about pornstars or well known faces... actually, I look for the polar opposite. Then again, there doesn't appear to be much else out there, at least uncensored. I'll probably end up giving one of those sites a try. Thanks again. | |

Thanks for the response. Perhaps the problem is not so prevalent any longer, though I have to think it's still dangerous, especially in Africa, where some of the videos were filmed on the site I was referring to. | |

I thought there were a bunch of threads on this, but I can't find any except a very old one. I've tried a few, 88 squared and a couple of others I can't remember. What uncensored sites are recommended? I read a bunch of PU reviews and most sites seem to be censored or have some other issue. I'm not looking for a cookie cutter site. I wonder if what I'm looking for exists. | |

I commented in a recent review that the site has a policy of no condoms. The scenes and participants are mostly in Asia. Am I missing something, or is this lunacy? And also taking unfair advantage of impoverished women? I don't know enough about the porn industry to say for sure, just my thoughts. | |

I guess I'm sensitive, haha. Not a problem. The photo was taken of a dog lying in the shade on an incredibly hot and humid day in Santo Domingo. I thought he was dead when I first spotted him. I felt like him that day... people would literally push one another to be able to walk in the shade. | |

Amazon takes back anything. I once returned a pair of worn running shoes. After 2 weeks I realized they didn't fit right; I mistakenly ordered the wrong size. Amazon took them back no questions. I didn't expect it and had only called to see if anything could be done. I am a prime member and do not pay shipping costs for items I purchase. My cost to ship back the Octo first class would have been under $3 per the USPS website. Hence, my bewilderment that Amazon did not want an item that retails for $99 returned. However, I don't want to discuss returning products. My intent was to give something back to PU, a community that has greatly benefited me. I'm a little put-off that the offer went totally unappreciated, though I can accept that no one is interested in the item. I listed it on eBay yesterday for $60 plus shipping. In a few hours, someone offered me $55. I said thanks, but no thanks. This is a fixed price auction with no best offer option. You cannot find this item for under $99 anywhere. | |

Gratis! Amazon sent 2 in error. They told me to keep the second. No wonder their prices are getting higher! Anyway, one of you will be the lucky recipient of the extra one that I have. It is unused and still in the original unopened box. PU will be handling the offer and hopefully Amanda will chime in with details. The only caveat is that I ask the recipient to pay the shipping charges (postage only) - paypal is best but I will accept any method of payment. Having said that, I'm not crazy about the product and don't use it. Not my cup of snot. https://www.hotoctopuss.com/?v=7516fd43adaa | |

RA, I hoped you would weigh in. I miss your reviews, windy as they are, haha. We seem to have similar taste and I've joined numerous sites based on your reviews. For that matter, the only decent sites I've joined have been based on PU reviews. And again, I did not intend to pick on Pat and don't think I did. I also look forward to his reviews. Heck, I look forward to any reviews, haha. | |

I didn't realize this is an ancient issue and it brings back some nightmarish memories to some, haha. However, I still like my idea of getting rid of the pro and con sections and substitute them with a questionnaire or a series of questions (with no obligation to answer). That will put the generic and factual stuff where it belongs and leave for a little or a lot of subjectivity in the comments. Wittyguy, please don't stop writing or "educating" others. Frankly, I rarely read site rules since they seem generic, like don't spit on your neighbor. I actually completely stopped reading when I joined a site that was ruled by Mussolini. The site had the most archaic and ridiculous rules and the site owner seemed to get his jollies by berating or throwing anyone off anyone who broke them. But I digress. Exotics4me, I really need to either update my Trike review or post a comment. The review should have been written after i had more experience with the site. It's still my all time favorite site but the video quality ain't up to snuff on many videos. They supposedly updated every video to give a top quality of 1080p, but some of the vids are still unwatchable. And the directing and/or camera work seems to be erratic at times. If that sort of thing really bothers you, you might think twice about joining. It bothers me, but I find enough good stuff to make it worthwhile. Thanks to all for your thoughts and more so for posting great reviews. I even read merc's reviews even though I have no interest in his genre of choice, but it's fun reading, haha. | |

Dang, I just wasted 10 minutes responding only to lose the post. I forgot about my rule about copying and pasting, haha. Is there a complaint department?  lk2, I appreciate your detailed comments. Reviews and comments are subjective. We each read the tone of Pat's remarks differently. Call me touchy feely. I agree with virtually everything Pat wrote and it was well-written. However, as can be seen, the recipient didn't see it that way or was put off by the tone. And yes, Pat is one of the more prolific reviewers along with you and in my opinion, a handful of others.I left names out because my issue was more of a general issue and not at all personal. Heck, I even stopped holding a grudge against the person who called me a shill, so nothing personal at all in my comments. They were meant to be general and not a criticism of any individual. Moving on, I have a suggestion for what I think will make reviews more uniform and helpful, while leaving room for subjective comments. Eliminate the pro and con sections and replace them with a series of questions, i.e., CC processor, streaming, downloading, download managers, number of videos, blah blah. Our combined minds along with the staff could probably come up with 25 such questions. Not to digress, but it is very frustrating when a review doesn't mention the type of site, i.e., softcore, hardcore, solo, etc. The pro and con sections seem to have become standardized and many if not all the veteran reviewers are using these sections to include the factual info I suggested. I'm no different but I'm just following what seems to be standard operating procedure. However, it's not uniform. By changing it to a series of questions, chances are all the info will be included so the reader can form an opinion whether to join a site. Of course, the comments section should remain with subjective comments. | |

Sorry for the length of this, but the following has been bothering me since I became a member. It is meant to be helpful. And don't get me wrong; I love this site. I will leave names out, but there was a recent review by a noobie which got a very critical response, though a well thought out response. Methinks the criticism was a tad harsh and could have been stated more tactfully, even though I agree with many of the points made in the criticism. A number of you write stupendous reviews and I am a grateful beneficiary. Experience with this site as well as a good industry background is necessary to write outstanding or even knowledgeable reviews. An innate ability to write is also helpful. But do we want to scare other users from reviewing because they don't possess these qualities? Even some of the "seasoned reviewers" start to sound repetitious and sometimes it seems the review is generic. However, the thought never occurred to me to criticize any review since the reviewer probably spend oodles of time writing the review. I recall my first reviews and comments on the forum. Admittedly, they sucked. But my motive was pure - to give back to the site that opened a new world to me. My reviews will never be on the same level as some of you simply because I have limited knowledge of the porn industry. One thing that got my goat was that no one ever said thanks, or thanks for trying. Old management even took down some early reviews with the only explanation being the vague statement "refer to the guidelines." I believe in my first post in the User Forum, someone, no names, called me a shill for praising the glories of a particular site. Management said nothing. As a result, for about a year or so, I stopped posting or reviewing. It's a lot easier to sit back, relax and get the benefit of information from others and not have to donate my time. I only started being a little more active when new management took over. Enough said. This is a friendly place and it's not my intention to disrupt things. My intention is to see as many reviews as possible, good or bad. The unintentional flawed reviews should be handled more tactfully. Just my opinion. | |

Wow, 2 hours to write a review! That's dedication. I'll take this opportunity to say thanks to the many of you that write incredibly well-written, detailed and helpful reviews. I'm an amateur writer (with a book available on amazon) and I'm not on nearly the same level as many of the members. It's not the type of writing I'm accustomed to. It takes a lot of patience, research and diligence, not to mention a broad knowledge of adult sites. I don't have any of these qualities and as a result, write few reviews and only when I have something new to say. Back to subject... I have the same issue as Skippy. I've learned to copy (CTRL C) before I click submit. Like Skippy, I'm often logged out by the time I click submit and lose everything. | |

I downloaded Replay Media Catcher which did seem to work but I didn't get very deep into it. Capto eventually responded to me and it seemed like a good program. Both Replay and Capto have good reviews. However, I resolved the problem with the site I wanted to use it for and besides, like I said, who wants to stream numerous videos from a site? It would take hours upon hours. I'd rather give up sex, haha. You can get both on a trial basis I believe. I know I didn't pay anything. I don't think you'll find a quality free program. As Toadsith intimated, you need a program that keeps up to date and can overcome blocking attempts by the provider. I have a mac but I'm pretty sure there's a windoze version for both programs. Just for the record, I don't believe in pirating and don't do it, including music. However, if a site doesn't provide what is advertised, then it is gloves off. | |

To answer my own question, I found a solid software program, Replay Media Catcher. But it's a moot point. I'm not about to capture dozens or more videos, too time consuming. | |

I need a recommendation for video capture software for Mac. I tried Capto but I can't figure it out. Yes, it's to stream from a video site. I don't know if it is legal but I suspect it is in my situation. I have no ethical problem in doing so. I rejoined a site that I had been a member of previously when they had downloads. It was probably the first porn site I joined and I was clueless. And still am, haha. The site had gone streaming only and I had no desire to rejoin. As an aside, I did rejoin momentarily when it was streaming only but there was no notation anywhere before one joined that was the case. They refunded my money. That was last year. They sent an email today that downloads are back. I was thrilled as this had been one of my favorite sites. I rejoined and at a discounted price. However, they only have one choice for downloading - 480p in mp4. That's ridiculous. However, the streaming goes up to 1080p. I'd like to capture the videos in 1080. Since I paid for a subscription and have no intention of posting the videos elsewhere, I feel entitled to download videos in decent quality. I never would have joined if I knew the videos were in 480. Who the heck distributes videos nowadays (or for several years) in only 480?! Anyway, sorry for the long justification, just looking for software. I'm only trying to head off criticism. Thanks. | |

I don't think we're ever gonna agree on this cuz it seems we are coming from different political camps. Of course I know about napster and all the napsters of the world. And believe it or not, they still exist except in much smaller numbers and aren't so obvious about it. What.cd has virtually any movie or song you ever wanted. So, why buy from amazon when you can get it for nothing at what.cd? I like to think that most people wanna do the right thing. Frankiy, napster and all its cousins would have been out of business in no time if the record companies weren't so resistant to change. If they embraced the new technology instead of trying to throw people in jail, everyone would have been a lot better off... except for napster. I don't think we see less pirating because of the laws that were passed. On the contrary, the pirating went on even after strict laws were passed. Things only changed when the record companies woke up and decided to make downloads available through legal sites like amazon and iTunes. I'm not a libertarian by any means, but I do think enacting laws to cure every ill in society is not the answer. | |

I respect your opinion but disagree with the entire premise. There are constant changes in technology. That applies to virtually every industry. The growing pains of porn are not any different than the recent changes in other industries, i.e., auto industry, movies, music, etc. Change is natural and if mostly left alone, i.e., no government or outside interference, it results in a more efficient product. That is an inherent principle of capitalism, no? Paysites might be hurting now, but in the long run, everyone will be better off... that is, if history is correct. I don't want to get into a long discussion about this, but I'll point out one example. I've been a music fan and collector all my life. Record stores were like a second home to me. When the digital revolution erupted, which over a short period changed the entire face of the industry, I rebelled. It hurt to see my favorite institution dying, the record store. For years, I continued shopping in what were becoming dwindling stores and paying more and inconveniencing myself more. I still go to record stores on occasion, but that's mostly a nostalgic thing now.

Let me preface what I have to say that it is not directed at you personally but at the industry. Frankly, I am not sympathetic to paysites that are not able to attract recurring memberships. It's not as if you're a charity and I'm gonna spend money just to keep you guys in business. You'd have to make it worthwhile. You say that paysites pile on other benefits. Can you elaborate? I don't recall coming across any website that provided any benefit other than a negligible smaller charge for recurring with the exception of the ones mentioned above by RA. Even those sites don't fit my cost/benefit model. I took a quick look at your site, stripgamecentral. A 30 day membership is about $15 and change (converted) while recurring is about $12 and change. Assuming you add 1 video a day, something most sites don't do, the cost would be about 40 cents for each video. While that's seemingly cheap, it's still about twice the cost, at least for me -- my comparison is for a site that costs $40 for a month and I download 200 videos, which is about my norm. Another downside is variety. It seems most websites offer the same old same old, i.e., the scenes are all the same or similar scenarios as is most everything else. People grow weary of that. Sorry to be a contrarian and there's nothing more that I'd like but to find a site I like and retain my membership indefinitely rather than constantly going through the hassle of finding new sites. But there needs to be radical change. | |

Recurring payments, fees, etc., are a pet peeve. Unless you are getting a benefit from doing so, the only one benefitting is the seller. The selling point is "convenience" to the consumer. What baloney. How inconvenient is it to click a button, or god forbid, write a check? This applies to everything, i.e., magazines, utilities, amazon prime (which I just opted out of), etc. I prefer having a choice, and that was my rationale with amazon prime... they weren't offering any benefit for automatically renewing and I know very well they will let me know when my subscription is expiring. As it relates to porn, I have never had a recurring membership and I can't think of an instance where that'll ever happen. Even with a discount, the cost/benefit does not exist, at least for me. After the first month I've generally downloaded all I want. No site I know of offers enough new material each month to warrant even a discounted price. RA already did the math. I've gone back to a couple of sights after 6 months or so to get new material, but that's as far as I'll go. The very first thing I do when I join a porn site is to cancel my membership so I don't forget to later on. Edited on Jan 04, 2015, 04:12am | |

And a happy Channukah to y'all. And who'd've thunk that I'd still be here a year later after a, um, auspicious beginning. But this place is worth it. | |

They probably found out you were into soft porn and disapproved. I guess they're more hard core types. -) On a more serious note, glad to see you back. I (and most likely others) was wondering where you were and if that everything was ok. Glad to hear all ended well. | |

I agree, most anything goes in the forum and it's a great way to get to know one another. What I was trying to say, although apparently not very clearly, is that I don't understand leaving this site over topics or opinions expressed in the forum. I don't agree with a lot of things that are said in the forum. However, by far, the main reason I am a member is for the reviews and info on sites. And I believe that is the main purpose for the site's existence. Anyway, to each his own. | |

For craps sake, isn't this is a porn review site whose focus is porn reviews, not politics. Unless I misunderstand. | |

Hopefully this will pertain to others here and I'm not being selfish. I got the jones, I need some fresh videos and am looking for recommendations. I've browsed this site and can't seem to find anything I missed, but it's a huge site and I might have overlooked something. So, help! Here's what I'm looking for, ideally, though I'll settle for something close. * No pro or few pro actors, natural bodies, minimal or no tatoos, body piercings, etc. * Non US, preferably Latin or from someplace different, i.e., Vietnam. I am not ruling out American entirely if there's something that meets my criteria. But I like foreign. * Hardcore BG and BGG but not over the top * I'm Japanesed out I think... I don't think there's much I haven't seen, at least genre-wise. * And of course, a somewhat reputable site, or a place I'm not gonna get ripped off. I do care about quality but I don't care about most other things like navigation. To give you an idea of my likes... 18x, club seventeen, chech av, double view, oye loca, teen mega world, teen core club and yes. Thanks for any ideas. | |

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the mention of sites not listed. I'm always looking for new stuff, at least since I joined here and started downloading. I haven't joined a site for a while cuz I can't seem to find anything interesting that I don't have. So, yes skinnys, keep on posting. I just thought it a bit odd that he didn't join any of these sites. We might have to buy him a membership, haha. | |

Can you explain? There's something that strikes me about that statement being fundamentally wrong. Basically it says, to me anyway, that you search the internet for porn sites, don't join for monetary reasons and hope for them to be reviewed by someone. It's none of my business and if you don't wanna answer, that's fine... what is your motivation? | |

Not sure why no response to this, but I did join. It's a new-ish site and that could be the reason it's not listed. If the PU gods decide to list it, and I see no reason not to except that Australian is definitely a foreign language, haha, I'll give my inept review. | |
