If we want to make peace with the Islamic world, this is certainly not the way to do it.

The stated goal of the protests has never been made as far as I know. But it has been made clear by almost everyone who has argued against the Islamic Center, including Glenn Beck to whom you refer, have stated clearly that the sponsors have every right to build the center; but are just wishing that they would not do so given the joyous reactions of the people in Islamic nations around the world to the 9/11 attacks.

The matter will not go away either because Imam Rauf has decided to hold the dedication ceremonies on 9/11/2011, the 10 year anniversary of the attacks.

Khan,

I know PU posts warnings about sites with bad practices but do you guys "delist" sites that have gone out of business?

Related question, it may not be possible, but can sites that have stopped updating be listed as well?

Good point. It's the exception, not the rule, when Met-Art models wear anything more than a negligee.

As for being "cold" that's also true. While there's nothing left to the imagination at all about the models' body parts, there's also no significant pussy play except perhaps to a minor degree in the occasional lesbo sets. There's a bit more titty play but not enough to really matter.

Met-Art, as the name indicates, is an ART site, not an EROTIC site, so keep that in mind if eroticism is your objective.

Your #1 interest is pictures over video. #2 is no tat's or toys.

Frankly your best bet, IMO, is Met-Art.com (not one of it's sister sites) where pictures are prime and most of the videos are of the photo shoots. I saw no toys at all and don't recall seeing any body art (or piercings) on any of the models.

I'm a video guy with a fair amount of interest in pictures and found the quality of the models and of the photography to be top rate.

And the volume of content on that site is huge (an understatement, at that) and grows significantly with lots of new stuff every day.

You are incorrectly presupposing that the "neighborhood" can do anything at all about the 20 storey Islamic Cultural Center (which includes a small mosque). The permits have been issued and there's absolutely nothing anyone, other than the sponsors, can do about it.

Approximately 1/2 of the US Islamic community opposes the concept but, again, they have no ability to do anything other than express their opinion.

So I guess I don't understand your last sentence. No one can dictate what can be done on private land other than the NYC Planning Commission that has already approved the plan. Are you saying that what the Planning Commission did is Un-American?

One other point.

I've seen older guys whose tattoos look really awful now, when their skin is looser and the colors have faded.

The image of how a stacked babe in her 20's today will look in 30 years is not good.



Piercings, however, are innocuous and, with the right treatment, will disappear naturally.

As with anything it depends both on the woman, the man and the nature of the tattoo.

For example a dude with a tattoo that says "Rebecca Forever" with a heart is not likely to make a great impression on his girlfriend Joan.

How much further can we really move the goal post for sexually arousing material? I certainly can't think of anything that hasn't been done before, although I'm sure someone will...


I think it may have been done, but how about a tiny scope camera and light planted in the back of a vagina recording the process from a new angle?

But what I'm waiting for is a way to transmit aromas or, better yet, tactile sensations.

I'd love to experience the raw tuna smell mixed with good perfume as we see a closeup of a stretched pussy.

And better yet, to be suffocated by Kelly Madison's fabulous boobs.

Pinkerton, your comment suggests you are familiar with both. For basic downloads of 500+MB files, which one operates faster? Does Net Transport handle multiple downloads without straining?

There was Black's Beach near San Diego but the privilege of seeing a mammary montage stopped when they decided to make topless beaches a no no.

Now strolling down the Costa del Sol in Spain is another matter. The best part was the casual strollers and the babes who took a solar break in the bars without worrying at all about their tops. And the bad part were the ladies who reminded me of the 300 pound hombres wearing their Speedos.

Masturbation covers anything from diddling the clit with a fingertip to jamming a zucchini or bottle up the snatch. Slutty's definition identifies the former as softcore and the latter as midcore.

Back a few decades ago when Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt gave the world an opportunity to see female genitalia in mass market publications, the rule seemed to be no touching at all. Penthouse began the clit touch and Flynt the pussy spread hold. But insertions of fingers, dildoes, veggies, etc. was still against the rules until the late 90's.

I suspect that's why Slutty distinguishes between "soft" masturbation and "hard" masturbation.

Softcore - Closeups, masterbation, light lesbian - no insertions
Midcore - harder lesbian material (insertion), toy play, etc.
Harcore - Sex, blowjobs, perhaps some really hard lesbian/solo stuff (strap-ons, fucking macines)
Extreme - Group, BDSM, gaping, anal, etc.

I think there can definitely be "softcore" groping and kissing - like pretty much any of the American Lightspeed material.

Just my two cents, perhaps this would clarify some of the debate, I think to try and fit it all in soft/mid/hard would be difficult.


I completely agree with slutty's listing. He nails it.

I'll tell you one thing; I'm much more likely to sign up on a site where the Webmaster participates by writing forum posts and responding to reviews and comments.

That participation tells me they really want to make sure they satisfy their best customers.

One tat that I really love is a simple little butterfly tattoo just above the left breast (and a mighty fine breast it is) of Anastasia Christ (aka Eva, Eva Hanakova, Anna Christ). It's the only body art on a truly fabulous body.

[ IMAGE REMOVED BY ADMIN ]

But except for that and a few other examples of discrete tattoos, they are usually unnecessary at a minimum, and very distracting at worst.

As for piercings, skipping the lip rings and nipple studs, I'm OK with them, at least where the current trend lies.

But when a babe has beautiful features and skin, why would she screw it up? (My same issue with aftermarket breast enhancements) Edited on Aug 31, 2010, 08:44am Edited by Staff on Aug 17, 2011, 06:41pm (Khan: removed image in violation of our posting rules)

I really like Greg Gutfeld's idea of setting up a gay bar next door to the Islamic Cultural Center to see how tolerant they will be in contrast to the significant amount of support the Islamic Center is getting.

Ditto what malikstarts said.

I stay with sites that have a loyalty deal that makes sense. $10 a month for Brazzers costs me less than the price of 2 Big Macs and is healthier.

And because I want to keep my own copies of the good stuff, the process of grabbing material from the "free" sites is cumbersome and, worse, who knows what kind of bad stuff like viruses will I be plagued with when I do that.

The online porn biz has matured to the point that those with lousy business practices get weeded out fast by the marketplace and the good sites with good content will continue to attract an audience if the pricing is fair and the customer service is good.

A cigarette doesn't do much for me, but a babe wearing basic regular (not sun) glasses (no wild things) just sets me off big time. I guess it's the ol' "different strokes for different folks" thing.

Now, maybe it's time to ask about my other big time turn on, an active cameltoe (wedgie, panty floss, whatever) where the babe has a nice set of flappers (labia lips) and works her panties up her cunt and works the bejeebers out of it.

Anyone else get a charge out of that action? Edited on Aug 28, 2010, 07:59am

Frankly I think it's something else.

Have you watched any of those older videos where they are taping a hard core photo session where the babe and the stud are constantly stopping what they're doing so the photographer can snap a shot?

They both look like robots, or worse, bored between clicks.

And a fuck scene, while it looks like 30 minutes of pussy pounding, etc., in reality it can take several hours for the scene. Than means the stud's woody needs refreshing several times.

A male orgasm occurs only when the guy is totally into the fuck and is not constantly being distracted by the director or cameraman.

What I don't get, though, is why the director thinks we enjoy watching a guy jerk off for minutes at a time. Why not just edit out most of the jerk off portion?

Most of my thoughts have already been covered in the first 37 posts. For me the most important is simplicity. And when I'm ready for a set of big tits, I know I can get my rocks off with DDF Busty, Brazzers, Bang Bros, etc. If I want to explore every detail of female bodies in extreme closeups, I can go to one of the DEV8 sites, etc.

I don't have to worry about getting a virus or giving out my IP address to some scumbag out there. I don't have to learn new protocols. And I pay so little compared to what I paid back only 5 to 10 years ago to rent/buy videos and the profitability of the better sites only encourages more creativity and quality.

Anyway, thanks for that link. I will be playing with that one for a while now.


A program that was mentioned a year or so ago on PU is Karen's Power Tools that has a Directory Printer module.

The program is OK as a directory printer but it's not nearly as robust and easy to use as Scanner.exe.

The website for Karen's Power Tools is Karens Tools

I agree that the graphic result is far better with scanner.exe, but the data listing in WinDirStat is interactive so if you see what may be a garbage file based on title, size, date, you can delete it to the recycle bin or directly to cyberspace. I don't see that feature in scanner.exe.

Just downloaded this utility and it has become my instant favorite already. I've wanted something like this for a very long time.

The only issues I have (minor ones) are that the report cannot be exported to an Excel spreadsheet so it can be used as a cataloging tool, nor can it be printed out directly. (It can only be printed via a screen capture process.)

Morgentau, have you found a workaround to these two issues?

What I would offer as the best advice is to take a step back and don't be too quick to write a review. Give yourself a little time to think about what is truly important or unimportant to say. Take the time to compare in your own mind how this site matched up with your own expectations. We all have biases, so how does this site compare to others you have joined? Think about what a person who has never seen the site would want to know. In many cases it is in the examples offered here in the thread, but in many cases the intangible fun factors or those that make a site work erotically are what is most important. If you slow down the writing process and spend more time to put this all into perspective, I feel you will write a more interesting review. We all have biases, so explain yours and don't be afraid to get into your totally subjective feelings. After all, good reviews are a lot more than lists with a few opinions, they are about the opinions explained as well as you can.
Well said.

I see the list as being a summary of things to consider, not a form to be completed.

The short "reviews" that have only a few sentences and little or no detail really should be in the "Comments" section, not the "Reviews" section.

But as you suggest, a great review tells a story with facts and opinions that help other PU members know what makes the site good or not so good.

When I write a review I refer to the Toadsith Cheat Sheet [as modified by WittyGuy] to make sure I don't overlook an element that should be mentioned, but there's no way I would include a comment about something just because it was in the list if there wasn't something worth mentioning. For example, if the site is lousy and would get a 40 score if the floor wasn't set at 50, there's not much point in discussing all the elements.

To me the attraction of PU, which is the only porn site review site I really use and rely on, is that I get straight, unedited opinions from guys like me who want the real deal and not a promotional writeup disguised as a review as one often finds on other review sites.

If I had a billion dollars I wouldn't buy more storage, I would buy the whole frigging studio. ;-)

Exactly right.

I lost my "A LIST" stash 1-1/2 years ago that was stored on an 80Gb Maxtor external drive for no explainable reason at all, except that the drive was about 3 years old and was heavily used.

I have also lost day-to-day stuff on my little flash drives as well.

As a safety measure I maintain a redundant backup process where everything on an external hard drive is backed up on a second external hard drive (or, in some cases, on 2 DVD's) and I always download everything I store on a flash card to a permanent place on my computer if I want to keep the data.

Also, it's important that everyone know that, just because a hard drive or a flash drive can no longer be accessed by a USB connection, it does NOT mean that the data on the drives is gone. It is most likely still there and readable, sometimes even by just plugging it into a different computer.

If the price of these little index card devices goes down as fast as the prices of conventional hard drives has gone down recently, these little guys could be a terrific way to do the redundant backup without having a boat load of clumsy hardware to manage.

I just bought my first 1.5Tb Seagate ($139.99 at Office Depot...on sale - $10 off) and am very happy with it. It is preformatted with NTSF (most are still FAT 32), is 7200 RPM and comes with automatic backup software if you want to use it for backup.

I'm moving my stash currently loaded on a variety of 5400 hard drives ranging from 80Gb to 500Gb to the Seagate and have it almost full already.

No idea what the next generation of solid state storage will be able to hold but until they arrive. I see this drive as being the best for function, capacity and price.

First, a lot of reviewers here like vids and make very little mention of pics (some of you do, I'm just generalizing here). Some of us like me and Drooler dig our pics. If the site you're reviewing has pics, please take a minute a let us know what size they are (largest size) and the number of sets available. That would be great and fill in some blanks that TBP doesn't yet cover.

Second, not to be Out-Toadsithed I blatantly stole from Toadsiths earlier post (post number 7 above) and put together my own modified "Toadsith Review Cheat Sheet" that adds and subtracts from his original list to provide what I think is a better review platform:

VIDEO CONTENT
* Screen size / resolution and is HD available?
* Any DRM or any download limits?
* Watermarks? (only mention if annoyingly large or block out the action)
* Video Quality? (Crisp, fuzzy, average, etc.)
* Number of Videos? (preferably by category: HC, lez, solo, etc.)
* Full Length Videos or clips or both?
* Streaming video options available if any?
* Avg. Video Length? (Mention only if very short or very long, TBP does mention this in their reviews)
* Download options? (WMV, Mpeg, Quicktime, etc.)
* Download Managers? (only if you tried to use one, Badandy will love you for this)
* Download Speeds? (fast, OK, or slow -- mention download bitrates if consistent and you know what they are)?

PHOTO CONTENT
* Photo Resolution (mention largest size available)?
* Watermarks (only mention if annoyingly large or cover the action)?
* Photo Quality (grainy, poorly lit, sharp, out of focus, etc.)?
* Zip Files and if zip available in multiple photo sizes? If there is a problem with zip names please note this.
* Number of Sets in various categories (hardcore, lez, solo, etc.)
* Matched to Video? (purely optional, also good to know if pics have less action than the vids as they sometimes do).
* Average number of pics per set if possible

SITE DESIGN AND GENERAL QUALITY
* Search Engine? If so, is it good (can search under mulitple options like body type, boob size, action, etc.) or less so (no search or just categories)?
* Search by model name and/or model directory and is directory complete?
* Site Design? (only mention if really bad or really good)
* Update schedule? (once a day, once a week, etc.) and if site, if a network then "sites", is still updating with new content.
* Advertising? (Mention if annoying or too much)
* Cross sales on signup? (always note if this is the case).
* Problems with billing or cancellation? (others might be best served by posting a comment separate from the review).
* Lots of deadlinks or nonloading features? (Again, note only if a problem with this).
* Note if any problems getting timed out on a site so that donwloads can't finish.
* If a network, number of sites and general content on the various sites.

MODELS / CONTENT
* Exclusive content or not so much if you know?
* Originality (only mention if a unique or well done niche)?
* Models Attractiveness?
* Amateur / Professional in terms of models and quality?
* Good Angles or Lighting? (optional, discuss if very good or very bad).

EXTRAS
* Bonus Sites (only mention if decent quality)?


Obviously, this is a bit over the top in terms of what I would expect or even what I do in each review. However, as we all want to be like Toadsith here's a starting point ;)


Terrific list. I'm quoting it so it appears on page two of this thread.

Interesting, Wittyguy. A site I was interested in until I got an arrogant webmaster putting me down was pornstarXS which also operates out of Cyprus.

I wonder what makes Cyprus a good place for pornsters to operate from?

Their address per their website is:

RNJ Communications
25 Gordinias Street
Kaimakli, Nicosia
Cyprus Edited by Staff on Apr 09, 2009, 06:53pm (Khan: corrected URL)

As for first amendment censorsip stuff, it started a long time ago. And not under Obama. The government has been trying to censor shit (from radio, tv to print media) for a long time. This isn't anything new.

Nope. Obama was the first to impose conditions on the compensation and management of AIG/Banks and GM/Chrysler. (Ford got no bailout money.)

Remember, this isn't about bailout money. This is about the government imposing itself into the management of banks and car manufacturers. No one has done anything remotely close to that in the recent past. (The government took over the railroads during World War I and failed miserably at it.)

And we're not talking about censorship. We're talking about the government controlling the internet via an Internet czar.

This administration is the first in history to fire a CEO by Executive Order and to directly establish compensation guidelines for banks and car companies.

The rush is with the Obama Administration which wants control of all communications media, not necessarily to control internet porn but to control the political message.

That's exactly my point. Instead of jamming the government into the process both AIG and GM should have been left totally alone and allowed to go bankrupt instead of throwing huge amounts of taxpayer money into the bottomless pit.

But the agenda was not a bailout but to exploit an opportunity to use the crisis to permit the Obama Administration to take over the two industries to further his objectives.

That's why I referred to his campaign promise to have the government provide free broadband internet access to everyone. That way his czar will have total control over all internet communications, won't it?
