Are we really exceptions? Are we just too experienced to tolerate junk? I've heard a lot of ordinary guys deride silicone falsies, sometimes educational TV programs quote this view back to young girls who feel peer pressure to undergo such cosmetic surgery whilst young & impressionable. I suppose no-one can see the world (or breasts) through another's eyes. | |

Yes, saggy breasts look real. The success of the 'Readers Wives' magazine format a few decades ago was largely because these women looked real, 'attainable' from a porn fantasy point of view. Works of silicone with oddly placed nipples just look unnatural. Sometimes you wonder how well the porn industry actually knows its customers? | |

Messmer, you're quite right about the toxic Videobox comments. Half can't accept a normal (never mind larger) figure, whilst the other half seem to have not accepted the abolition of slavery. They're are few real reviews there, just nasty exchanges. Yep, I too page through days of Videobox releases to find the ones curvy ones worth downloading. Seeing what they put under the 'Big Butt' category is quite amusing too. Do you think there's a contradiction between the size of girls men want to be seen with (skinny) and those they like looking at (larger ones, like Marilyn Monroe, size 16)? I think the appearance of the MILF category must testify to the fact that many women, having gained some middle age weight, looked better (and more real) than their younger counterparts. | |

Thomas20 - glad I reminded you of Sierra Sky! Some models are just too good to be true. What is it with all the skinny girls in porn? Fake tits because they've no real weight? These girls need to eat more or find a new career. I think definitions of HD vary quite a lot. Videobox talk about DVD quality, but that's debatable. I'd look more towards In The Crack or In Focus Girls to define HD. Damn shame they're so skinny though. Can't anyone do this for larger ladies? Round & Brown looks great. Bootylicious Mag too I think. Are we a minority liking this stuff? | |

Agree with you about Silicone in many US sites. That was partly what drew me to DDF Busty, as they appeared less fake. Some reviews here suggested quite a lot of East European content, which might mean less fake? | |

Thomas20, I think we must have similar tastes! Cassandra Calogera and Sierra Skye were already on my favourite list from trawling Videobox. I'll have a look at what Reality Kings has to offer from them. Nice to know someone else thinks porn is all about curves. I assume that video quality is fairly high on Reality Kings? | |

Just looking for some recommendations for larger, naturally curvy girl sites? There are rather too many 'stick insects' masquerading as porn stars for my liking. I'm drawn at the moment towards DDF Busty in the DDF Network, or else Monster Curves/40 Inch Plus in Reality Kings. Big up-top and/or behind would be nice, but I'm not after the bizarre mega-fat sites which exist. Silicone doesn't do much for me either. Any HD content would be a plus. | |

Some very interesting points here. Pink Panther, I think you're spot-on about tedium in porn. Dull, formulaic scenes complete with fake dialogue and noises are just dire. By contrast, genuine fun & orgasms are the most desirable commodity in porn to me. John Stagliano does do well in a semi-scripted way. But look at say Jenna Doll (aka Jenna Simpson) on Videobox to see a young beauty just overcome with pleasure & orgasms as the scenes get going. Any concept of script or production becomes irrelevant with such performances. Any porn studio that could capture this regularly, would make the most enjoyable and least dull porn to be found. | |

I take your points about security. Denner, I couldn't agree more about regional pricing. As if quality sites aren't costly enough without the exchange rate being loaded anything from 20% to 50% against non-US subscribers. I do not believe that $1 US = £1 UK. Whilst the sites in question may congratulate themselves on an instant profit boost, they would do well to consider how much more profit they lose via customers who just walk away. Rocketing prices is about the last thing any wise business should try. | |

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't realised that CCBill effectively separated you from the websites in question. I'm getting the impression that CCBill is fairly trusted, in an industry not noted for this quality. As CCBill is so commonly used in porn, can I assume that financial/personal data is completely secure? | |

I'm considering joining 'In The Crack', as it seems unrivalled for High Definition content. Sadly there aren't any one-off payment options, instead it requires a continuous credit card subscription. I usually avoid these, both within & outside the porn industry, as they can only be cancelled via the Company in question and not by the card holder independently (how bizarre in modern times?). For this reason, recurring credit card subscriptions are generally strongly discouraged by consumer websites etc. I was just wondering whether fellow PU members subscribing to In The Crack have found starting/stopping and the related billing experience to be trouble-free? I'll take the appalling dollar to pound rate built in for UK customers as a given, for this purpose. | |

How to manage your porn stash is a very apt question, as most of us grow an ever larger collection. Initially, I tried ideas like the use of multiple folders to sort by type, or Word documents etc to create some sort of searchable list, but in the end, this became too clumsy. What we need here is a database, so that�s what I created in the end, using the excellent and free Personal Video Database software at http://www.videodb.info/forum_en This software is intended for databasing mainstream films, but is highly customisable. So you can disable fields to do with Oscars etc, and insert your own custom fields for how you categorise your collection (the less said the better, I think). You can add the performers names to the information card for each film, so at a click you can find all films featuring a given person. You can also create screenshots via the interface (manually or automatically), so you can display a few pictures every time you look at a given film, useful for remembering what�s in each one. You can also give a �star rating� of your own to each film, and add your own comments along other info like running time which the software will import itself. It takes lots of time to create a database (I normally add a few at a time) but they bring lots of power in return. So if you want to find all the films containing a certain lady, which contain a foot fetish scene, and which you rated 8 stars or above, they can be found and played from the same interface at a few clicks. The database itself can be passworded to prevent anyone opening it by accident. On the subject of data security, I would recommend that you both backup and encrypt your collection. Backing up is a no-brainer. All hard drives fail eventually, with the nominal rate being about 1 drive per hundred each year. The move towards ever higher capacity drives has probably increased this failure rate, with modern drives flying by the seat of their pants. Witness the rash of famous drive manufactures plagued by embarrassing mass failures in recent years. PU devotees are likely to have large stashes, and so will be more exposed to the 1 or 2Tb drives than most, so take precautions. With such drives costing less that a year�s membership at most sites, it would be foolish to trust an entire stash accumulated over many years to just one drive. So keep at least one spare copy of your data elsewhere. It may be worth considering where elsewhere is. Fire, flood or theft may lose you the backup drive alongside the original copy. A lot of Americans changed their opinion of where was a safe place to keep a backup after hurricane Katrina. Online backup could be an option for some users, but limits on online storage or data uploading limits imposed by your ISP could prohibit this option for many users. Your backup could be kept far away for safety (at the cost of less ease of updating) and this brings me to my third point. Encryption. Unbreakable, free encryption is now readily available from the likes of TrueCrypt etc http://www.truecrypt.org Definitely a program to learn to use before using for all your data, TrueCrypt allows the creation of encrypted volumes (all, or part of a hard drive). Given a long random password (or supplemented by a keyfile which TC will create for you) the result is a totally unbreakable container, which appears as a removable drive once unlocked and once dismounted again, returns to just random data. Such a drive, when unmounted, does not appear to even have been formatted by Windows etc. Just remember that you create an encrypted container first, then move your data into it. It is not designed to encrypt data in situ! Whilst the seriously clever adversaries could probably deduce that the data most probably was encrypted, they would never be able to open it given a sufficiently long password or keyfile. To most less tech users, it would just appear to be a bare/unformatted drive. This could make it a lot less embarrassing to collect a lost/stolen drive if it was ever returned to you by someone later, as well as preventing your collection being stumbled into by someone using your PC. A final piece of free software worth considering is Microsofts Synctoy 2.1, which makes synchronising your original & backup drives a breeze. Edited on Dec 05, 2010, 07:16am | |

I'm not sure what your definition of HD is, but Videobox have recently doubled a lot of their 30min stuff to 1 or 1.2Gb, not that I'd say is was especially needed for ordinary viewing. But Brazzers are way behind in the weeds, seriously undermining their massive site network for an easily corrected problem. I hope they're reading this. | |

Interesting what you say about gmail, I hadn't come accross that feature. The yahoo scheme ('AddressGuard') lets you choose a root completely unconnected with you or your true yahoo email address. So whilst you might be John.Smith@yahoo.com, your disposables may be pornfan-dodgypornsite@yahoo.com, pornfan-dodgypaymentsite@yahoo.com etc, leaving nothing at all for machine or person to interpret. All cancellable at a click, too. I've just checked with a disposable yahoo email sent to gmail, and there's no name at all showing, so the spammers have literally nothing to work on. | |

Can I suggest my solution? Using the premium option of webmail like yahoo, $20 per year, you can create unlimited alias email adresses all based around a common 'root', unrelated to your true email address which is never revealed. So you can make a new email address for every site you sign up to. You can name it after the site too, e.g. MyRoot-DodgyPornSite@yahoo.com Here's yahoo's link: http://antispam.yahoo.com/addressguard So if you get spammed, a) you know which site abused your email and b) you can simply cancel that disposable/alias email address. Your underlying yahoo email account remains working and unknown to the spammer. Incoming email from each disposable address can also be auto-redirected to a chosen folder too, so your much wanted discount porno promotion doesn't arrive in the same inbox onlookers might see you using. Don't give sites you don't trust any email address you value. | |

LostFaith, glad to hear it's not just me! Many of us spend a lot of time, money & effort getting hold of reliable high speed internet connections precisely because we want video downloads. Whilst Brazzers seem to have set up a serious porn network, failing to provide enough quality for even satisfactory laptop use is just bizarre. It's not like they even sell higher resolution as an option either, at perhaps a higher price (as Videobox slant their subscriptions rates versus file quality). It's simply not there. And being creators of their own content, surely recorded with high quality professional video gear, it must be just a simple PC batch processing exercise to reprocess a stack of them at higher quality. I've got to say, that unless this changes, I will not be renewing. It's just a weird decision, the best I can guess is that it's hiding some other problem such as capacity congestion at their servers, which would get worse if longer/larger downloads were taking place. But good old Videobox can get this right just ripping commercial DVD's. Someone at Brazzers needs to wake up to market forces, or watch their subscribers walk away. | |

Nice to see some more interest on a post I'd have thought would be close to most Porn User's (financial) hearts. My attempts to look into virtual credit cards proved less than reassuring. Epoch's support wouldn't reply. CCbill did reply quickly, but were very sceptical that virtual cards would work. Meanwhile the virtual card providers themselves seemed less than clear on the subject. They generally offer Visa Debit (not Visa Credit)cards and my enquiries about compatibility lead to a string of 'ifs and buts'. Some virtuals are automatically anonymous for example, so the Adress Verification System (when they use your home address as a security check) will fail. Queries about auto-renewals were also unclear. In the end, their 'sign up and see if it works' approach was not one I wanted to pay money to try out. So I got a reloadable prepaid MasterCard, this offering the best compatibility (most porn sites are US, and there's no credit/debit confusion as with Visa) costing about 3% on top of the transaction. I don't know if it'd accept auto-renewal, the card provider thought it would not do, but I'm happy enough with annual memberships of sites which this good website has shown to be quality. But there's a moral here for porn webmasters. Porn is no different from other online business, prove yourself honest and open, and the customers will flock to you. Hide behind confusing T&C, and auto-renewal/pre-checked box trickery, and you will be treated with the mistrust you show to your customers. | |

I've recently joined Brazzers, and although I like a lot of the content, I've been rather surprised that even new stuff is sub-standard in terms of video quality. For example, days-old new videos from their frequently updated sites can be about 350Mb for 30mins (or more) of footage, that being the largest file size offered in WMV format. It looks fine in say a 6" window on my laptop, but blow it up to full screen, and fuzzyness and pixelation around moving objects is immediately noticeable. I'd hope good quality on a 12" laptop screen was not too much to expect, but in video after video, the same annoying screen artifacts appear. I emphasize that this is new footage, not old archive stuff. I'm more used to videobox, which would provide a 30min film in 500Mb or more, this looking fine on a 12" laptop and pretty good on a 17" PC monitor. Although Videobox's definition of 'DVD quality' is something I've always disagreed with (a 9Gb DVD, split into 3 or 4 scenes, does not equal 0.5Gb each!) the end quality is good enough for you to feel you're watching the model, not the screen image problems instead. I agree there's a need to offer lower image quality for those with smaller media players or else download speed/size limitations, but it costs nothing to offer brand new footage at true high quality too. Does anyone agree with me? I'm not sure I'll be renewing Brazzers, at this rate. | |

Thanks for checking, Vegas Ken, that's really a great deal and yet another reason for visiting this site! Khan, I can't find the original post yet myself, but someone in it was complaining about the cost of Brazzers, then PU staff pointed the click-through discount. It's a good deal which nicely cancels out the dollars-to-pounds ripoff so common on porn sites for UK users. Thanks again | |

Thanks for the video info, would you say this is 'adequate' quality for normal laptop use? I hadn't noticed a specific Brazzers subforum, if that's what you mean? Or do you just mean add a 'review'? | |

Hi all, Perhaps someone here can clear up some confusion. Here in the UK, (yes, that's 'rip-off Britain')The Brazzers Pass/Network (apparently the same thing?) costs £119.88 for a 1 year pass, which is usually but not always listed on their various joining sites as 'non-recurring'. PornUser.com details the one year Brazzer option as non-recurring. If you visit Brazzers via this website, as mentioned in a previous post by someone from P.U. support, £68.95 appears to be the 1 year fee, but with the recurring issue not clear. I don't want to be rebilled, and T&Cs tend to be anything but clear whenever I try to understand them. Does anyone, perhaps support on P.U., know for sure if either/both these two different prices will rebill after the year's finished? On a totally separate Brazzers issue, can anyone indicate the typical size of a video download from Brazzers? On VideoBox 30mins at max ('DVD') quality would be around 500Mb or more, and I'm wondering how their quality might compare. | |

My experience of refunds via normal credit cards has not exactly been speedy! It can take about a month to complete even when you've got all the evidence, who knows how much longer, or more embarrassing, for a porn site! The reloadable card sounds fairly good to me, but is no-one out there using disposable numbers? Most users of this site seem to be USA based, and those of you with a US PayPal account can therefore use the PayPal plugin here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr...PayPalPlugin-outside Has no-one tried this yet? | |

You're right about the lack of redress with a disposable card, but I suppose I'm treating that as the lesser evil against surrendering a high value credit card no. to unknown websites. Annoyingly, as far as I can tell, international money people like PayPal and MBNA are currently not yet extending their new single-use credit card number trials outside of the USA. As if fraud is not an international problem. Whilst just looking at the signup screen for brazzers, a site generally respected here, I was annoyed to keep getting junk 'person X in local area Y is trying to contact you' type popups. No wonder single-use cards appeal. | |

Hi people, Whilst reports of problems with porn sites and billing companies are not widespread, there are still some out there, as searching this site and elsewhere will reveal. Sites which trick you into hidden further subscriptions ('scroll-downs' or 'untick boxes'), or which just won't cancel readily, don't help matters. And I can't be alone in hesitating on hearing the odd fraud story related to billing companies. With Prepaid MasterCards (single-use Gift cards or else the reloadable type) now in shops, and 'Virtual' cards appearing too, we do seem to have some safer choices. But how many of you have tried such options to pay on porn sites? A prepaid card with a low balance seems a better risk than your trusty Platinum, though I hear that some may now not work on Adult sites due to fears of under-age use. A Virtual card, (as I think PayPal are rolling out?) with a single-use number per transaction sounds even safer, assuming your buying one-off membership and not continuous renewal. But have any of you people tried such options? I don't mind paying for what I get, I just don't want to pay any more.. | |

Hi all, Many thanks for the repiles, and assurances about CCbill. It's nice to read so many happy users on that score. Based on your advive, I think I will go via the monthly option initially with Videobox. I think I was attracted to the 10 month non-recurring option mostly because of doubts about the ease of cancellation once on a recurring plan. But you all seem pretty content on that front. Would you extend your trust to all sites using CCbill, seeing as they seem well regarded? Or do untrustworthy sites sometimes use good billing companies? Thanks also for the advice on the models I mentioned, it'll be worth a subscription just to find a few videos of those. | |

Hi, Thanks for the replies. Yes I am a new user, and it's hard to sometimes separate trustworthy sites which I don't mind paying for, from rogue ones to avoid. I'm hoping that the few negative comments online re CCbill are more to do with users not understanding the contracts they were getting into with the sites they join. Are addresses likewise safe once given to these payment takers? I wouldn't appreciate getting onto certain postal porn junk mail lists either...! I take from your comments (Denner) that you think videobox.com might not be ideal? Does anything stand out for Big Booty/larger women type sites? Don't much appreciate the current rather skinny trend in models, though I don't want the extreme 'chubby chaser' type stuff either. Know what I mean? Something more classically curvy/pear shape in between, like Charlotte Stokely or Isabella Stone, would be nice. | |

I'm a cautious would-be downloader with a few online credit card safety questions. I'm interested in joining videobox.com, following good reviews. I would probably opt for the 10 month non-recurring $99.50 option. I've noticed this site takes you to either CCbill or Epoch for payment, and that it's credit cards only accepted there. I've read somewhere that these payment handlers don't accept prepaid/gift type disposable Mastercards, hence my increased caution. They also want full name/address info, I suppose this being essential to debit the cards. How safe/trustworthy are CCbill/Epoch, and the videobox.com site? It's easy to find online posts from unhappy subscribers to various other sites, who've ended up being stuck with higher charges than they realised, or who become locked into recurring fees which they cannot cancel. Stories of 'cancel links' which don't work, or payment companies which cannot be contacted, are all to be found on google. So I would appreciate some users feedback on these sites? I notice that videobox's terms & conditions state that all memberships are recurring, which kind of contradicts the 'non-recurring' 10 month option, and so I would like some user's experiences. I would also like to know if privacy policy claims, and those of payment processors, are adhered to, seeing as these guys get full names & addresses etc. | |
