Several years ago I enrolled with Hegre Art and was quite pleased with the experience. The photography was some of the best I’d seen. It was a total study of the female form, a house of worship, very tasty and very tasteful. One con though, there was nothing remotely hardcore. Recently I was surfing and happened upon Hegre Art and was surprised to see that it appears to no longer be so soft. I checked the TBP review, updated about a year ago by Vanessa, and saw no mention of any hardcore upgrade Anybody have an update? Is it time for me to revisit Hegre Art ? Though my tastes in erotica run to vanilla, I am very rarely shocked or offended Are there other sites out there that have comparable quality with hardcore content ? Thank you for any feedback.

Craig Larson died this morning. Craig had nothing to do with porn….. Well, actually he had everything to do with porn. Every still image you have ever seen has a bunch of Larsen patents in its provenance. Never heard of him? Bill Gates and Steve Jobs knew him well. Their companies have been facing him in court for decades for their infringement of his patents. Rest easy Craig. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck.

I just received an email from michael Automorrow is a blog host that is currently on hiatus The email refers to a message from Oprah linking to an ad for 1000 Caralluma a weight loss diatary supplement that is endorsed by Oprah and Dr. Oz This email is similar to a hundred other pieces of crap that are sent to me weekly, except for the 24 emails that are listed in the broadcast. They are: contest@pornusers.com newsletter@pornusers.com anybody@arizonabev.com I sent them one email 5 years ago Four of my exgirlfriends spanning 40+ years, Two of which preceded the existence of email The sister of an old girlfriend who has lived in Germany for 20 years The sister of yet another girlfriend from 40 years ago with whom I am in contact from time to time An old client that I’ve not contacted in 12 years An eighty year old aunt in Florida that I speak to periodically but who does have email The billing department of Aetna Insurance who were my hospitalization providers until 2013 Jeff with a company I dealt with briefly 5 years ago Felix with a company I dealt with briefly 3 years ago Neither of which involved email An electronics store that went out of business 5 years ago Two FaceBook addresses of people I do not know autorenew@webroot.com I subscribed 12 years ago and seven others I do not know I have no clue what this is about or how that string of emails applies. Several of them are not in my email list. The only reason I’m posting this are the first two listings. I don’t buy most of the conspiracy theories out there and have been amazed over the years at the level and provenance of the information that is mined. Any ideas? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

I just saw the movie Hysteria... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1435513/?ref_=nv_sr_1 ....about Dr. Mortimer Granville, a physician in 1880s Britain, who specialized in the treatment of female Hysteria, utilizing the manipulation of female genitalia to reduce the tensions associated with the malady. It should be notes that Dr Granville suffered from a carpal injury from administering the above mentioned massage. Nice work if you can find it. He went on to develop the Pelvicdouche which utilized a stream of water under pressure, aimed at the genitals, and later he altered an existing device, the electric feather duster to provide a high frequency vibration appliance to assuage and neutralize Hysteria tensions This device was called a percusser or more colloquially Granville's hammer. It made easy work of genital manipulation but was available only to physicians, necessitating repeated office visits by Hysteria sufferers. The use of the device fell out of favor and was made illegal. The sale of vibrators for sexual purposes remains illegal in many nations, and in the American states of Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Female hysteria was a once-common medical diagnosis, made exclusively in women, which is today no longer recognized by medical authorities as a medical disorder. Its diagnosis and treatment were routine for many hundreds of years in Western Europe. Hysteria was widely discussed in the medical literature of the 19th century. Women considered to be suffering from it exhibited a wide array of symptoms including faintness, nervousness, sexual desire, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in the abdomen, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and "a tendency to cause trouble".[1] In extreme cases the woman would be forced into the asylum and undergo surgical hysterectomy. The history of the notion of hysteria can be traced to ancient times; in ancient Greece it was described in the gynecological treatises of the Hippocratic corpus, which date from the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Plato's dialogue Timaeus compares a woman's uterus to a living creature that wanders throughout a womans body, "blocking passages, obstructing breathing, and causing disease." The concept of a pathological, wandering womb was later viewed as the source of the term hysteria, which stems from the Greek cognate of uterus. Another cause was thought to be the retention of female semen, thought to mingle with male semen during intercourse. This was believed to be stored in the womb. Hysteria was referred to as "the widow's disease", since the female semen was believed to turn venomous if not released through regular climax or intercourse The concept of hysteria caused by "wandering womb" continued to be taught from one generation of medical researchers to the next in Europe up until the early modern era. Medical researchers developed a better understanding of anatomy after the invention of microscopes in the 17th century and cellular research in the 19th century. Sigmund Freud's theory of the free-floating unconscious, the "mind within the mind", was similar to the ancient belief in the "animal within the animal". Both "wandering womb" and "hysteria" are unused in medical theories of today. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

I was wandering on a TGP site and noticed this comment on a young lady.... " I'd like to tongue punch her fart box " and this was a title for a picture set " a loveable body with an increment of covetous orifices" Well turned phrasing is ubiquitous. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

I have Dish Satellite for my television and noticed from the beginning that there was a sprinkling of ersatz porn, mostly WVSU (women in various stages of undress) all of it over-acted softcore and not worth my time. The other night, I happened upon Aroused on the Showcase network (SHOC) that is worth a viewing. It is a documentary of the porn industry with a cast of familiar names and faces speaking very candidly about their experiences in the work-a-day lives of actresses in the adult film biz. It is very well done. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Ive happened upon a word that is new to me. Wichsvorlagen : pronounced : vicks for lagen It is defined as source material for masturbation These are collections of photographs that are not pornographic, rather society page shots of the beautiful people, mostly women with a decidedly Euro flavor. The photography, group and head shots, is mostly semi-glamorous. The women are gorgeous, with a character and a likeability that is very pleasing. Mixed in with this collection is a large amount of soft and hard photography that is high resolution and quite remarkable that I am unused to seeing, as well as the ubiquitous thumbnails you see everywhere else in cyberspace. The overall flavor is simply amazing and refreshing unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

As Ive ranted before, 720p vids are all I need or want. One can see an amazing difference between 720p and 1080p when watching on a 4-foot screen. On a 27 inch monitor, the difference is negligible, especially when one considers the 3 to 5 times disk space required for storage and the hours of additional download time for the 1080p vids. It used to be that websites would offer both resolutions to satisfy each preference, but that seems to be changing. All of these great new and improved sites that Id normally jump on in a hot minute, and then I read the review and toss it from my list because the only offer a couple of formats in 1080p. Even if I were to soften my position, bite the bullet, and download the higher resolutions, they dont play well on my desktop. Theyre slow and choppy with artifacts. So, now Im Jonesen. Most all of the sites on my wish list are disqualified for their limited HD offerings. A message to pornsite administrators : If all you offer is 1080p, Youll never see any of my money. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

ALS All Ladies Shaved has been a favorite for years. While not hardcore, it is a great place to see see ladies who are in display mode. That may have changed. I found a TGB site called ALSscangirlz.com that has no shortage of male members. The scenes are claimed to be shot by the ALS photographer. What's next? In The Crack with dicks? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Ive recently been revisiting my collection of still images on several external drives. There are more than I thought, over 1.4 million pictures and that doesnt count the hundreds of zipped files Ive found to put on my to do list. Over the years, nay decades, Ive noticed there is entirely too much red in porn images and videos. What Ive recently noticed is that even images and videos that dont appear to be too red, can be greatly improved by the neutralization of reds, magentas, and yellows. A few seconds, and one or two clicks, in Photoshop can work wonders in improving still images. Boosting the cyan level to neutralize the red, and tweaking the green to kill magenta and blue to kill yellow, is a quick and simple fix. (Digital color works differently than paint pigment) Adobe Premiere can vastly improve the look of videos and adjusting vids in the VLC Viewer, (Interface/ Effects and Filters/ Video Effects / Enable, can temporarily change the look for individual viewings. I have thousands of what I considered to be sub-standard pix and vids that I havent gotten around to deleting, which Ive found now to be quite salvageable.

Many years ago I remember watching a video, shot by John Stagliano that was one of a series. I remember that there was a mention that it was in Indiana. The whole series was an adult themed, outdoor extravaganza. There were easily thousands in attendance. Strippers were interviewed that had come from all over this country and a few from abroad. There was every manner of stripping competitions and various and random acts of naughtiness throughout the video. It seemed to be well organized, complete with a security team that kept rowdiness and mayhem to a minimum. Many porn luminaries attended. More recently, I have seen similar events depicted on various TGP sites. The only one that comes to mind this minute is Nebraska Coeds I was speaking of this to a friend in New York who would like very much to know where these events occur (as would I) I havent seen mention of these events save what I have just mentioned. Anyone know when and where these occur? I just saw Nicola Benedetti, A Scottish classical violinist on Craig Ferguson. She was amazing and worth a look-see unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Wish List What do we want in a porn site? Lets us leave personal preferences regarding boy, girl, gay, lesbian, MILFs, teens and trannies for another thread. What I wish is : Simplicity ; I am there to see. Videos and still photography please. I am not interested in a showcase for new and innovative web mechanics. Anything that takes my attention from the subject, doesnt belong there. Fireworks, pop-ups, violent and erratic movement belong elsewhere. A minimum of distractions please. I understand that they advertise other sites. It is an important part of their revenue stream. I have paid money to see your site. Dont have ads for other sites be intrusive and annoying. Ease of navigation; When I click the back button, I wish to go back to the previous page. I am amazed at how often that doesnt happen. If I get lost or cannot find my way back to a previous page, someone is not doing their job. Quality of photography and videography ; I wish stills and videos to be well-lighted and well shot. If I can improve a picture in PhotoShop, someone is not doing their job. Ease in downloading. It would be great to have file names include the identity of the talent and the name of the shoot, or at least have that info close at hand for easy copying and pasting. Videos with accompanying photo shoots ought to have the same or a similar name. Show me talent that appears to like what theyre doing and desire to be there. If they dont want to be there, I dont want them there either. They are actors. They should act. I have subscribed to many, many erotic websites. Sitting here at this keyboard, I cannot remember a single one with which I did not find fault. More as it occurs to me. What do you wish? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

My method of paysite selection? I look at a number of TGP sites and find one that astounds me. I then look at TBP and PU reviews and make a decision. The Viewpornstars TGPs astound me. The reviews however are mediocre to bad. The reviews are 5 years old. Anyone out there who has a more recent experience of this site? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

I've seen in browser viewing of video flash files for years but this is the first time I've seen a downloadable flash video I've downloaded one and it seems to play just fine, but before I build a new wing for my video library, I thought I'd ask the Video Gods, several of which who live here, What bad things do you have to say about collecting flash files? What good things? I've noticed the few times that I've played flash vids that they seem to run cleanly and without artifacts or hic-cups, so this may be a good thing. The disk space seems to be in line with other formats for 720p vids. What are your thoughts? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Oh I just watched one. Never mind. My computer is 3 or 4 years old and has a problem with 1080 lines of resolution. They hiccup, stammer and show artifacts when the FF button is used. My first impulse was to upgrade my vid card and add some RAM, but then comparison made me wonder why. Blu Ray looks great on my 48 Sony, but 1080 on a 27 monitor doesnt really out shine the 720 videos much at all. Im perfectly happy viewing erotica on my puter and dont intend watching them on the big screen, and if that changes, the Sony is computer ready. My problem is that while some paysites offer 1080 as well as 720, many offer only 1080. I have taken to eliminating the 1080 only sites from consideration. The reason? Hard drive space. A 1Gig vid in 720p compares to 3-5 Gigs in 1080p. A marginally better resolution is taking up four times the HDD space. Am I missing something here? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Courtney Sperle Cathy McGrone Jane Adi Mercedes Fusch Gabriel Beucier Carley Hunstead In the past two weeks, Ive received emails from the above listed ladies and about 2000 of their friends. Each claims to have met me last week in a bookstore or a Starbucks, and each invites me to click a link to see a lady with yet another name, take a shower, play with massage oil or other such wild action Each then closes with authorisation trombone plow wrecker yqwekmdu or other such nonsense. Two or three a day is not a problem. Two hundred a day is killing me. They are never from the same name twice so my spam filter is useless. The subject lines say hey, howdy How you doin? And any number of greetings that is common in legitimate emails. In the past 6 or 8 months I have not surfed free sites or tube sites, where I could expect this kind of crap, but have been enrolled in 6 or 8 paysites (one at a time). Any suggestions? Ive had the same email address for 30 years and changing it would be a logistical nightmare. It is a business contact for me so I have to open most of them to avoid deleting someone who wants to give me money unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

With several decades of naked women on my resume, I have from time to time paused to reflect and analyze and dissect my interest. Girls, and every manner of girl parts seem to top all the lists. Penises ? My own penis has held my interest since age two, but those belonging to others, not so much. I determined early on that penises, belonging to others, are necessary in the successful depiction of the hetero coital act. Last year I began disk drive house cleaning finding thousands of videos and stills that had been mis-filed or somehow forgotten. While uniformly renaming files and deleting a huge number of duplications and corrupted data, I also viewed hundreds of vids I had somehow never seen. Some became favorites and were earmarked to move them to the top of the list . When reviewing these favorites, I discovered the same actor was present in a huge percentage of those favorites. Mark Andrews. He is not remarkable in appearance, his equipment is adequate, and he has been prone to unfortunate choices in haircuts and facial hair. He seems intelligent, meaning he doesnt open his mouth often enough to prove otherwise. He has been around for years. Bottom Line ? He is not annoying. In an industry where a huge percentage of the stunt dicks are obnoxious, this for me is a big plus. So I know what I want in a stunt dick. What do you want? unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

I was time traveling to 2008 and found "Rear-view mirror on the wall, who's got the finest ass of all? Without dragging the whole thing into the present, it does deserves a resurrection. Nina Hartley was mentioned. Whenever I think of butts, the foremost image is a bottomless Nina walking through a palatial European flat being followed closely by a vidcam that is hand held in the way that only John Stagliano could. Pretty sure if was a Buttman, complete with Rocco Sifretti who was called Dario in all JS's vids Every ass I've seen since, pales a bit. This is not to say there hasnt been a plethora of marvelous asses since then, But that lady is burned into my memory. Ava Rose is another. Tiffani Minx too. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

This lass showed up more than a decade ago, just a single image on a TGP site. I was smitten. The links have never resulted in any images except this one. She was once identified as Nadine but all in all, she is a phantom I once stumbled onto a lady in a Russian paysite who may have been her, but it was never a positive ID for me She has been my desktop image for 2 to 3 years and has evoked positive responses from visitors, male and female The only image I've seen can be viewed at http://galleries2.adult-empire.com/86/86...t/00039-4eb746d6.jpg Any assistance would be fawned over my favorite time of day is when I shut down my puter.

Four years ago, Toadsith wrote : Bless Robert Heinlein and his strange, orgy saturated books.. excluding Stranger in a Strange Land: The second half of that book was terrible. Heinlein was an important part of my formative years. In Stranger he discovered sex. Youd not think it possible for a 15 year old lad to find sex tiresome, but alas Years later, I was introduced to Heinlein in a caf in Santa Cruz and acknowledged him for affecting my literary evolution. He was a delightful man with a twinkle in his eye. We did not touch upon his discovery of sex. I feared getting him started. Shortly after his death, Heinleins widow allowed the printing of the unabridged edition of Stranger , containing several hundred additional pages. All my life Ive heard authors complain of the heartbreaking chore of dealing with evil, soulless editors. After reading this unabridged edition, my first and only thought was THANK GOD FOR EDITORS I had a new respect for this thankless craft. Most everything Heinlein wrote after that was steeped in sex. I made it through two or three of them and then put him aside. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Ive seen references to artifacts and from context, infer that they are a bad thing. I know what an artifact is on an Egyptian dig, but am unaware of the video reference. Because of inadequate bit-rate, videos look compressed. What does compressed look like? I know what a bit is, and I know the meaning of rate, but beyond the flowing of data, what is bit-rate and how does it affect my viewing a video? Ive seen references to bit-rates from 100 to 2,000, inferring that 2,000 is slow. Many paysites now offer HD video. 1080p dont fly as well for me as 720p. Ive extrapolated that the age of my puter has much to do with this. (4 or 5 years) I have noticed that I dont see much difference between the two on a 27 inch screen and figure that viewing them on a 60 inch screen would make a difference. I am perfectly happy watching the 27 inch screen attached to my computer for erotica. Ill watch Star Wars in blu-ray on the four footer in the other room. The 1080p on my monitor stutters, hic-cough and the sound track is not aligned with the vid. It is disconcerting to hear a lady speak full sentences while her mouth is full. Because of the file size difference between the two, 1.2G vs 3 to 5 G, and the paysites offering only the larger file, theyre not doing me any favors. A 2T hard drive will only hold 200 movies at that rate. Is everyone watching downloaded porn on the big screen in the other room? I am presently a member of Reality Kings ( not for long with their DL restrictions) and am locked in to 480 line vids. Where are the holograms, flying cars and rocket belts promised us by the Jetsons? To recap : What is an artifact? What does a compressed video look like? What is a bit-rate? Thanks for any help on this Michael unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

There has been a question regarding RK's download limit. I was locked out yesterday. Twenty six hours later I downloaded seven videos totaling 2.7GB. Again I am locked out. Do I reccommend Reality Kings? Their content is borderline amazing, but if downloading is of remote interest, Save your money unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

In an earlier lifetime I was a webmaster/mechanic. Once or twice a month I would get an urgent email reporting that a URL had been hi-jacked(or expired and acquired) and links to insurance companies or manufacturers were being routed to "particularly offensive adult sites". (upon investigation, they were actually quite tame) It seems that problem has come full circle. In the past two weeks or so, while surfing a string of TGP sites, I find I?m continually linked to car insurance or recipe sites, and something quite annoying called Jokeroo. Even the bulk of clicks that stay in the porn quadrant are directed to totally unrelated niches, (click on an 18 year old hard-belly and get a fornicating grandmother... naked gymnasts will deliver she-males at the county fair.) If I never again see the word "tube" in a URL, that would be quite OK. Free porn has a purpose. It is how people with money find places to spend it. We are hard-wired to be interested in the reproduction process. Women and men find fascination in that process, albeit in the recreational portion of that process. Many, mostly male like to look, or watch. It is upon this quirk that the industry is largely built. The client wants to look and the TGP provider wants advertising and click-thrus and the revenues they generate. The truly free porn is mostly crap. The TGP sites posting professionally produced erotica are providing a service to those producers. They send the money-bearing porn buffs to a place they can spend their money. Some, not that many, TGP sites subscribe to the "what you click is what you get" school of thought. I have begun deleting the others from my favorites file. Two weeks ago, I had 6000 plus porn-sites bookmarked I have deleted a thousand plus and have not passed the letter F. ( ok it needed housekeeping ) Miles to go before I sleep. I really do have a life. A main thrust at PU appears to be, not promoting free porn. I'd suggest if the paysites would improve their sites, the battle would not be so uphill. I'm not talking content. Show me any image or video that is remotely erotic and I'll show a long line of aficionados that will rave about it. There is nothing more diversified than pornography and the people who love it. There is no bent that hasn't an army of followers. What desperately needs improvement is the look, the navigability, and the maintenance of the pay-sites that already exist. I have subscribed to forty or fifty pay-sites in the last ten or twelve years. In all, the experience has been disappointing. A site with great content and minimal navigability doesn't work. Web mechanics practice a skilled craft. The really good ones know that the bulk of their users don't have a comparable skill-set. With the skills I have, it took me a week to find zip files on a site I paid money for a month ago. If they cannot make their sites easy to travel, they are doomed to fail. Each pay-site needs to include a user?s tutorial. I have seen few on the internet and none in this industry. They need to know that when a paying client spends a great deal of time on their sites, the smallest of annoyances becomes a very large item of contention. The four reviewers with TBP are remarkable. The problem is that over the years they have become quite web-savvy and can negotiate the sites they review, more skillfully than their readers. Someone less seasoned will rant and rave about navigational issues and can then report to the reviewers for the final draft. You won't even have to pay them. There are probably a few PU members who might do it for free access to a site. You will also find a much wider range of sexual preference. A straight will probably not have as much fun reviewing a gay or tranny site. My suggestion: The writers at TBP and the members of PU might consider creating a generic tutorial (not specific to a particular pay-site) that gives a beginner or semi-seasoned porn user a basic ground school for web based porn. It's probably already there but spread out over thousands of threads. This tutorial could then be a basis for tutorials written to be pay-site specific. The tutorial should include a basic understanding of types of images and resolutions. Why is a large image better than a small one? You have to scroll to see the whole thing. Is a wmv better than an AVI, Mpeg4 or QuickTime. What the hell is a codec? CFNM? BBW? Camel Toe? That's a reach. Nowhere in the animal kingdom can they come up with a better body part to euphemize a vagina? OK that was my September rant. If they outlawed porn on the internet, there'd only be one website left. "bringbacktheporn.com" unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. Edited on Sep 26, 2011, 11:25pm Edited by Staff on Sep 26, 2011, 07:11pm | |
