Denner won't like this, he's only 48! But I get what you mean and happen to agree .. there are definitely generational preferences, that's why it is so hard for those of us over fifty to find something we find exciting. The market usually caters to the young and we are increasingly being left out. | |

You are more even tempered than I, mistresskent! If I were a webmaster and had to watch the abuse in connection with unlimited trials day after day I'm afraid my blood pressure would force me to abandon trials and let the chips fall where they may. Believe it or not I have not ever subscribed to a site on a trial basis because I know I would most likely take advantage of their "unlimited" offer and would feel guilty if I downloaded too much for my $ 1.99. But then I'm a bit of a queer duck! It's just that I feel if people put their money into a labor of love (talking now about smaller specialized sites not the Mega Sites) they should get a financial reward out of it. | |

And technically it wouldn't even be cheating! Still, I can see the reaction of my wife if she should open the closet door where I keep the robot: "What the h...?!?! Get that artificial hussy out of here or I'm gone!" I think I'll keep my extra hard drives instead! | |

I think I feel the same about those unlimited 3 day trials as I do about downloading freebies. Someone with a high speed connection can download a considerable amount of material for $ 1.99. In this case what's the difference? The site owner is being robbed, but seeing that they offer the trial in the first place ..... ??? If I were a site owner I wouldn't have trials but have a very good tour instead with top notch samples to help people make up their minds. Same as I can't understand those who rip a site. Why would they want all the content if 80% of it will most likely not be to their liking (judging by my own taste). I most recently subscribed to two sites where I didn't download a thing for days at a time. The behavior of site rippers reminds me of those reality TV shows about hoarders and pack rats. | |

You know, I wondered about that myself. Why lobby against Iran while at the same time keeping silent about Saudi Arabia? Could it be oil? But then Iran has oil as well so why? Is it because the Saudi Princes are a tad more enlightened than their subjects and try to bring about a snail's paced change while Iran's top leaders actually promote and encourage fundamentalist Islamic values? But what do I know, much in this world doesn't make sense to me. | |

I agree with you, Denner. A few discrete tattoos here and there might be fine but these days male and female talent alike are covered with them! My biggest shock was with ATK Natural and Hairy. All those models with tattoos and piercing .. a far cry from "natural." Of course, as someone else pointed out it is becoming natural in the real world so I guess in a way they are still being true to their niche. | |

That's always been my view, rearadmiral. I have always told my friends and family that University taught me to think critically. To look at a subject from every angle, to NOT think black and white only, and I have been deeply grateful that my professors were liberal enough to allow us to find our own truths. My remarks above were caused by an interview with an economist I watched on CNN the other day. He said, basically, the "good old days won't come back no matter how much the tea party may yearn for them. Our manufacturing base has left for cheaper pastures (he was speaking about the U.S. but might as well have been speaking for Canada). What will save us is good old-fashioned American ingenuity, and a can do spirit by inventing things that didn't exist before and market them to the world. For that we need people who excel in science and currently America is in 27th place world wide when it comes to that subject!" (Paraphrased) I tend to agree with him. We'll never get the factories back and outsourcing will continue as long as it can be done somewhere else more cheaply .. therefore give the kids who are gifted an excellent education, especially in science and if this means that I would have to subsidize education I'd go along with it. | |

Aren't you just a tad harsh on the rest of us, lk2fireone? I think it's terribly unfair that you would nuke Canada, for instance, while the real culprits are dwelling in your midst in the form of producers, writers and directors who don't like to think outside their "home town" boxes? | |

I've always been a supporter of the U.N., even though they are not too effective at times, but thought there was a place for them (through peace keeping, sanctions etc.) when it came to keeping things reasonably civilized on the international stage, but talk about disillusionment. On a new panel for Women's Rights Saudi Arabia gets a seat! SAUDI ARABIA!!! Where women are not allowed to drive, where women are not allowed to vote, where women are not allowed to go out by themselves, where women can be arrested by the religious fashion police if they don't wear the traditional garb in public?? Are they kidding us? This is almost enough to turn me into a conservative! http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/11/10...cy-iran.html?ref=rss | |

I agree completely. Same thing in Canada. A Bachelor's Degree, the most common being a BA (Bachelor of Arts) does not guarantee a job these days. This makes the high tuition fees even more of a burden on the individual. I also agree that some don't want a University Education and would prefer to go the vocational route. I was thinking more of bright young people who are well educated in Science because they are our future as far as I am concerned. If education were free then more of the gifted ones would be tempted to take that route. And, of course, free education isn't truly free but I'd be happy to pay for it through my taxes if it ensured a good life for my grandchildren. | |

The Brits, same as the Canadians and Americans are digging their own economic graves by making it impossible for many who simply don't have the money, but might very well be the next inventors of something great and different, to attend University. Our manufacturing jobs are disappearing so we are dependent on young, bright, well-educated people to come up with alternatives. In Canada tuition fees are so ridiculously high that it takes an extra curricular job as well as a huge student loan to complete one's education. Many end up with bills as high as $ 40.000 when they finally get their degrees. Good way to start a career! Higher Education is the most important tool we have to create a good future for all and in my opinion should be free. | |

Thanks, malikstarks, a very well thought out response. Experience forces me to say you are absolutely right in your assessment of the situation. I think the best thing for me would be to take a break, look at all the stuff I do have now, but have never looked at in detail, and wait for that evolution where more niche content will finally be provided. Sad thing is my niche wasn't really a niche not so long ago. Pretty models in porn (not in the artistic nude sites) always wore sexy lingerie .. look at early ATK as one example, there was hardly an update without some erotic nightwear, underwear or something that embellished the body and teased a bit. Now the site is a disaster for me. | |

Do you really think so, Cap'n? Would it appeal to Denner, if I read his post right, or to me? The reason I ask is because you seem to think that AO30 is still a good site (judging by your silence to my comment), so is Karup's OW something the same as AO30, featuring everyday clothes and everyday lingerie? I know our tastes have quite often been similar but I also know that you like things like jeans and work boots etc. which are the antithesis of eroticism for me .. and trust me, there is absolutely no offense intended .. I am aware that tastes differ. Someone just wrote me in another response that they disliked lingerie, something that shocked me because I thought that male and female alike were fans of fine lingerie, that that was a given, but outside of that nothing surprises me when it comes to others' preferences. As a matter of fact I like the diversity, it's just that I keep taking tours of Karup's OW because it might be a viable alternative but don't see much eroticism, at least not in the samples. Help me out here. You've stated in the past that if I dug enough you were sure I would find some good stuff .. but what do you mean by that? Are there teddies and camisoles and flimsy nighties, and sheer and exciting (to me) undies and stockings and garter belts etc. or are you talking ordinary cotton underwear and thongs and tights? Darn, I wish there were someone besides Mistress Kent who knew exactly what it is I am looking for. Seriously, if you should see "disabled" beside my name soon it's because I'm about to give up the search. I've spent a lot of money on sites that only partially resonate with me during the last couple of months, hoping to find something that's terribly elusive and I'm tired of looking. Must be my age .. times have moved on and for the first time in my life I feel I've been left behind. Edited on Nov 10, 2010, 08:33am | |

I agree with you here, Cap'n. Village Ladies could have been good if they had kept up with the times even though many of their models were far from memorable. Same as I like many of the amateur, mature solo sites found in Southern Charms because the husbands/boyfriends seem to have a better idea what the average man wants when it comes to a good strip. However the amateurish quality of many sets plus the fact that one has to subscribe to each model individually plus the fact that the pictures can't be zipped mitigate against that site, or collection of sites. | |

Dear Denner, I wish you loads of luck in your quest. I've been on the same quest and have been to quite a few sites lately that are not exactly to my taste just because they contained some mature women and ended up mostly disappointed. The Cap'n mentioned AO30 as a possible choice, I disagree with him for once. The mature material is there but it hasn't been very sexy. Neither have the models. For instance, in the latest 3 month (fool that I was) subscription I got angrier by the minute because most of the models wore such everyday attire (jeans, jean skirts, drab dresses and skirts) with hardly anything underneath. Maybe a thong now and then .. once in a blue moon even a bra and that for only half a page out of a set. Downloads were very few and far between for me. And compared to Anilos which I consider the better site even though they are not perfect either their videos are not quite up to the proclaimed HD quality. In any case, unless they go back to more erotic material, never again! Sorry, Cap'n! Edited on Nov 09, 2010, 10:57am | |

I got the same e-mail regarding the Emma Maersk and how it was so large that it couldn't navigate the Suez Canal and that it's primary function was to carry goods from China to the U.S. This was one week after I had watched a documentary on one of my HD channels about the maiden voyage of the Emma Maersk that took it right through the Suez Canal to a European Port and finally to the U.S. Despite this distortion of fact people have every right to be concerned because many of our jobs have been exported and outsourced in the name of free trade. That's what happens when politicians accept money for their interminable election campaigns from Big Business. People should ask themselves WHO received the most money before they get angry at the wrong guys. As one economist suggested: the manufacturing jobs are pretty much gone .. what we have to concentrate on now is to do what America always did best: invent and build new things and sell those to the world ... but there's a snag. In order to do that America's education system has to vastly improve. Teachers have to receive better training and need to be treated like professionals. A sad fact: At the moment "our kids (his words) are ranking 27th world-wide when it comes to Science." End of his statement. | |

Nope, it wasn't your review that inspired me to start this thread, BadMrFrosty. Let me say, first of all, that if a site is listed for $ 24.95 U.S. that's what you should pay, converted to the value of your currency, and NOT regional prices. So I am not in support of it. This thread was set off by folks from Canada visiting Zurich having to pay 15 Swiss Franks for a MacDonald's Big Mac. That's very close to $ 15.00 CA, a price we would find outrageous yet which seems to be quite acceptable in Switzerland. You can argue about the taste of my friends but it gave me the idea that someone in Germany, for instance, might find a price of 35 Euros or so per subscription not unreasonable because their hourly wages and benefits might be higher than ours and some web sites might take advantage of that fact. So I was hoping someone would come up with a ball park figure what people make in various countries. This was stupid of me because reading the posts I now realize how many intangibles play a part when it comes to incomes and cost of living. In any case, down with regional pricing! | |

Okay, the smaller monitor would explain it. And you are right in everything else you write. If I have one set that is Hi Res and another one that is Ultra High Res I don't see the difference either if I want to see the whole picture on my monitor and not study it pore by pore. As I said, I basically download Ultra Hi Res for one reason only: the future which will bring ever larger monitors for desk tops, and the fact that the set would look great on an LCD or Plasma TV screen when I finally get one that allows me to do that. At the moment I have a 27" LCD HD TV but can't do anything else but watch TV with it. My son-in-law has a 42" Samsung and his Hi Res vacation pictures look spectacular on that. I can always dream! But TVs aside, I had many picture sets on my hard drive from a couple of years ago that I had marked FV (for favorite) or KP (for keep)and they bit the dust recently because it was no longer a joy to watch them. It was a sad day but better than the aggravation of seeing everything that used to look so good on a smaller monitor blurred all of a sudden! Maybe I should have got myself a lap top and kept looking at them through that! | |

What if that material is 800x600 and you have a new wide screen 21" monitor, lk2fireone? Does it not bother you that the picture now looks blurred? Or do you watch it in 800x600 rather than in full screen? I have my viewer set so it displays the full picture vertically and there is a definite difference when it comes to high resolution and the old material. Super High Resolution on the other hand I don't really need, at least not at the moment, I think of the future when I download those sets. | |

I very seldom go back farther than a couple of years when I join a site because the material found in the archives is usually of inferior quality when compared to today's. It does make sense to go back if one collects a certain model, then one will most likely be willing to put up with 600x800px pictures as one example, but I don't, so I usually start at a time when they introduced HD videos or High Resolution pictures. | |

BTW. I mean it when I say you appear to have a very good site but your site and I definitely would have had problems with each other because my most common complaint beside the lack of enticing lingerie is usually in connection with the subject of "enhanced breasts!" So consider yourself lucky I'm not a member .. there would have been some complaints re. models with obvious implant scars. See your link above. And again loads of luck and you'll do okay, mine is an outsider's taste so don't mind my comments. | |

I hope you have a good tour, Secretease, because I'm about to have a look. As opposed to my friend the capn I have no problem if any part of a uniform or normal clothes is kept on to the end as long as the model wears exciting lingerie and does reveal the interesting parts one way or the other sometime during the set. 10 minutes later: Okay, I am back from the tour. I am afraid it does not have a single set that I would desire to possess. Let me stress that I am sure yours is a good site with lots of lovely models but I did not see one single camisole, nightie, slip or half slip, garter belt and they are all part of what makes a set enjoyable to me. I don't like socks or stay ups and when it comes to stockings that's all I saw. It looks to me like another Only Tease except (according to your remarks) your site is more explicit. I wish you all the luck. I am sure many will enjoy it! Edited on Oct 31, 2010, 02:40pm | |

Accurate observations, goldfish. Just one comment: you don't usually get a "pumped up look" with really older models, that's why I set the lowest limit at forty, but in the MILF age group (25 - 35) enhanceds sadly abound. I download very little MILF material for that reason. | |

Well, I wasn't going to draw the forum regulars into this but am sure happy that you responded, Denner. I am fed up with the same things. When I first started to frequent pay sites most of their models would be in some pretty exciting lingerie, at least in enough sets to make a subscription worth my while but nowadays it is almost impossible to find anything but the gear you described. Even in mature women! I dropped AO30 over this, thought I'd try an old time favorite of mine Aunt Judy/Older Women .. no dice. Boring stuff day after day. Then came ATK Natural and Hairy and there, too, I end up rejecting one set after the other because there's absolutely nothing exciting in one cookie cutter set after the other. ATK for instance has 8 picture sets plus two video sets as an update each and every day and I have, during the past eleven days downloaded ONE mildly interesting update I'll probably never look at again. Something had to be done so in a desperation move I subscribed to Only Tease .. what the heck, it's not my cup of tea because I like my teases to end up in nudity, but at least I will be able to download some nice lingerie pictures. Wrong: Tights are in, thongs are in, while nylons and garter belts or full panties sets are few and far between. I have wasted more money during the past month on sites that let my taste down than I care to think of. And this lamentable state of affairs is exactly what caused this challenge to anyone who might want to get into the business! | |

I knew our preferences matched in certain areas, mistresskent! I wonder about the need as well because I am still looking for MY site, surely this site would exist if there was a demand. Or do you mean is there any need to set up a site like my dream one because yours matches it already in most aspects? | |

Here's the deal: a) If you build a softcore site where all the models are over forty, b)where they wear more lingerie than just a general purpose bra and thong, c)and if you use some landscape format shots in your picture sets, and d) have regular updates (at least one a day .. you may alternate between high resolution pictures or HD video) ... then I, Messmer, will subscribe and subscribe and subscribe until you know my credit card number by heart! Since this group knows all my preferences by now and have seen them stated and restated in various threads there's no need to reply.

It sure does help, Khan, thanks. I knew this was a pay site (I've been a subscriber a few times) but couldn't understand how they could identify themselves as a tube site when that goes against everything a pay site stands for. If they are using this strange method to lead search engines to their site then all becomes clear. | |

You're a big help. squirrel! But I'm glad that others can't figure these things out either! | |

I use CCleaner on a regular basis and it shows me on a daily basis, as I do the analysis, that something like 35 temporary Internet Explorer files have to be cleaned up. Trouble is I never use I.E., I use Firefox only. How do I manage to acquire those temporary Internet Explorer files? Thanks. | |

A couple of days ago I noticed that every time I clicked on the icon for Porn.com my tab in Firefox would read: "Porn: Free XXX Tube Porn." Where does the tube part come into play and why doesn't it simply read "Porn.com" on the tab. Usually when you click on a site, that's what you get, the site's name and definitely not a reference to free Tube Porn! I left a comment at the site hoping that someone at TBP could clue me in but no one responded. | |

I, too, was going to keep my nose out of it because Americans don't like foreigners commenting on their political system but I agree with Turboshaft ... the right has developed an incredible mean streak while the left are cowards because rather than follow their agenda they've been trying to build bridges to people who would automatically say no to anything a Democrat proposes. What makes things worse is that those damned, despicable campaign attack ads are now also being broadcast by the left. There's going to be another civil war yet .. both sides are so bitter and entrenched in their ideologies that I can't see a rational solution to the bloodless war that's already raging. | |

I agree with you and did exactly what you did only recently. Those old videos just don't look good on a modern wide screen monitor. 640x480 (or lower) videos with a total bitrate of around a 1000 are no longer enjoyable when viewed on today's machines. I did the same with my 800x600px picture sets even though they contained many sets I had marked "favorite" at the time. I am just not sentimental enough to put up with crappy quality, at least when looked at through today's eyes. | |

Sorry, Graymane, I did get the drift and think the whole concept would not help any illusion but simply look silly. I honestly can't imagine a scenario where a solo girl could successfully pretend that "her brains are being fucked out." But, as we say so often, "different strokes for different folks" so this is not meant in a confrontational way. It just wouldn't work for me. | |

Thanks, Denner, and to everyone for responding and giving me a bit more insight into this matter. I agree with all of you that regional pricing should be resisted as much as possible. When I subscribe to a site I expect to pay whatever US $24.95 converts to in Canadian dollars and no more. I like Epoch better than CCBill for that reason because there always seems to be a small extra charge attached to the bill with CCBill. I was just wondering if European companies sometimes charged extra because Europeans generally make more money than North Americans. I know that the European standard of living has been higher (at least in the countries I'm most familiar with) for quite some time when compared to North America, or at least my neck of the woods. Thanks again to all, I appreciate the individual contributions to this discussion and would normally respond to each and every one but today, even though I'm retired, I have very little time because of a doctor's appointment, so must restrict myself to this one reply. | |

I know everyone gets upset if a site's price is listed as $ 24.95 US and they end up paying 24.95 Euros instead but wonder if the outrage is really warranted? Without wanting to offend anyone, honestly. It's just curiosity motivating me. Wouldn't it all depend how much the average European household earns in a month? The reason I even bring up this touchy and controversial subject is because friends of ours just got back from Zurich where they paid SF 15.00 for a hamburger at McDonald's. The Frank is currently listed as .097 to the U.S. dollar. Quite obviously the Swiss don't believe that 15 Franks are too much for a burger while we would say I'll die first before I pay $15.00 for a Big Mac! Can one of my European friends clue me in how many Euros are found in the average monthly pay envelope? I know that here in Canada, especially in the Atlantic Provinces people consider themselves lucky if they make more than 10 - 12 dollars an hour. Just curious. | |

Sorry, Graymane. I agree with Wittyguy on this one. | |
