I'm having a bit of a brain fart and can't remember the new names of several sites. They're all part of the Diesel studio. There was Young Legal Porn and Skinny Super Girls as well as several others. I recall that they were renamed, but I can't remember what they're now called so I can't find them. Can anyone help me out? Did they all get rolled into Wow Girls (but that seems to be a different company...)? Thanks! | |

This may be more of a poll question, but since I’m looking for details and discussions I figured this was the better way to go. Do you have any recurring memberships? I read on another forum where my kind of porn buying marks me as a leech in that I join a site every few months to download the latest updates. I have about a dozen sites I go back to regularly and use this model. The one recurring membership I have is to a relatively new (and expensive) site, Assylum.com. At the monthly subscription fee each update costs me about $12 CAD, which is a bit pricey. The only reason I don’t follow my usual pattern here is because when I went to cancel my membership they made me an offer for a much lower monthly fee. It made sense for me. At half price it’s still expensive for me but I don’t mind supporting small niche sites. That got me wondering though. Do you have any thoughts on why more sites don’t offer discounts for recurring members? My favorite porn site is Amateur Allure, which has a monthly fee of about $40 CAD, which is about $10 per scene per month. That’s a bit too pricey for me so I join every second month which brings the cost per scene down to $5. Admittedly that’s still expensive when compared to large sites but I like what AA has to offer and I’m willing to pay that. The other oddity is the very common practice that sites have of offering a discount through TBP/PU for the first month and then the regular price for any recurring months. Apart from capturing the poor sap who forgets to cancel, why would anyone stay to get access to a much smaller volume of porn for more money? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It seems to me that if a site like Amateur Allure offered a discount for recurring months (and I’m only using them as an example, I’m not picking on them) that would be safer for them. If they have other members like me they run the risk that I won’t come back, or I’ll come back annually and really drive the cost per scene down. | |

This is a continuation of Part 1 here: https://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum_thr...d.html?threadid=4166 Feel free to add your own favorites to either part. DVD scenes, continued (which are likely all still available through any of several DVD sites) • Jaelyn Fox in American Gokkun 6. I have a lot from this series and while it isn't something I watch often its fun to watch occasionally. This scene is likely my favorite in the series because it does something different. All other scenes have the men come into a bowl or cup, or something similar which the girl then swallows. That leaves some room for some fakery and in some scenes I’m certain that it isn't what it seems. But in Jaelyn’s scene she takes all the loads onto a large spoon and swallows the loads as the spoon fills. This all but eliminates fakery making this a unique scene • Chelsie Rae and Keeani Lei in American Gokkun 5. This is my second favorite scene from this series and mostly because I’m a big Chelsie Rae fan and she looks great here. The final part of the scene where Chelsie and Keeani do a huge cum swap with half a flexible hose is porn gold. • Fiona Cheeks and Gen Padova in American Bukkake 19. This is probably my favorite of this series. I’m a big fan of both Fiona and Gen and they both look amazing here. With two models the interaction between them creates a lot more heat than in solo scenes where the model just kneels there while guys jerk off on her. These two genuinely seem to be having fun. • Fiona Cheeks in Knocturnal’s Uncensored Record Release Party 1. This scene is here because of Fiona, but mostly because the scene has an element of exhibitionism. The scene is shot outdoors and Fiona sexually attacks a guy and goes down on him while others watch. It transitions into sex. It’s not a great scene, but the exhibitionism makes it a favorite. • Kristina Rose and Jada Stevens in Ass Worship 13. Another Jules Jordan masterpiece. I’ve been a huge fan of Jada’s since I first laid eyes on here and she looks amazing here. I like this scene mainly for the interaction between Jada and Kristina and for a hot looking reverse cowgirl anal position that they use. • Penny Pax in Our Father. This scene might be somewhat controversial as it uses the stepfather / stepdaughter relationship to build sexual tension and heat. But there’s a light side to it too. Penny plays the stepdaughter of a doctor and she asks dad for some advice on pleasing her boyfriend safely. As any respectable physician/dad would do, he recommends anal sex. Dad penetrates her with fingers and toys and then eventually slips his dick in. Why not? She’s lying on her belly and can’t see what’s going on and Penny’s question to him when he slips it in is worth it – ‘if both your hands are here what’s in my ass?’ • Riley Reid in Incestuous. This continues the incest theme between a stepfather and stepdaughter. In this case, Riley Reid is modeling her new cheerleader uniform to her stepdad. She’s very playful and an excellent casting choice. The scene builds some serious sexual tension before the action begins. And it has Riley Reid in a cheerleader outfit. What more could you ask for? Scenes from websites • Addison O’Reilly Teasers VOD (site). I’m a big fan of public nudity and exhibitionism and Teasers VOD was just about the best around. The scene with Addison O’Reilly is over the top with how daring it is. And on a site that offers such great public nudity picking a winner isn't easy. • Maddy O'Reilly in Brazzers Extra (site). I get why Maddy is so popular but she isn't on my list of favorites. She’d be a tier-two girl for me even though I recognize and understand that she is definitely an A-list model by any objective measure. This scene is over-the-top though. The scene isn't for everyone as it has some foot licking, some rimming and ends with some watersports, but I wonder how the camera didn’t catch fire from the heat. Maddy showed why she’s such a big deal in this scene. • Maryjane Johnson (as Maggie) in Exploited College Girls (site). Maryjane Johnson has the ability to look super-innocent or super-skanky (and I mean that in a good way, seriously) and I love watching her work. I have a lot of her stuff and watch all of it often, but as a fan of anal sex generally, and collecting first or only anal scenes specifically, her only anal scene ever was as Maggie here. She’s brought her innocent look as this is very early in her career. • Amira (aka Amirah) Adara in Mike’s Apartment (site). I’ve read on another forum where some think Amira’s look is unconventional. I’d only agree with that if ‘unconventional’ was defined as incredibly hot. Her olive skin, her dark hair, her striking features make her a favorite of mine. This scene is good, but anything with her is worth a look. This scene appears here because of how it’s set up that adds heat. • Samantha Rone in Amateur Allure (site). This scene isn't her only Amateur Allure scene and not her first there, but it steps outside the usual formula and makes it more fun. Samantha arrives in a skimpy bikini to convince Ray to go to the beach. Sexual heat ensues. (Full disclosure: Amateur Allure is my favorite adult site on the internet so I find almost all the scenes hot.) • Cheyenne Cooper in Jurassic Cock (site). This is another favorite partly because it’s my first experience with Cheyenne. For many, the appearance of Ron Jeremy would ruin it but in this case it makes the whole set-up work. Ron is having a coffee at an outside table and Cheyenne introduces herself to him. The set-up is natural and Cheyenne’s personality comes out. • Sasha Grey in Sex and Submission (Kink.com site). Picking a favorite Sasha scene was hard but since she was a superstar and so prolific it had to be done. Kink’s production values are high and that shows here. Sasha plays a young reporter who is interviewing the male talent about the BDSM lifestyle. Sasha is clearly not interested in exploring it further when the offer is made. The scene cuts to Sasha in bed that night as she masturbates and fantasizes about BDSM play. The fantasy becomes the scene. A genuine superstar in a hot scene. • Claire in Exploited College Girls (site). This is the first time I saw anything with Claire and it was love at first sight. Claire has girl-next-door looks (definitely NOT a typical porn look) and a bubbly personality. When it comes to sex she has some serious skills. I’ve spent a lot of time and money tracking down more of her but this is among the best. (On a semi-related note, Claire and Maryjane Johnson appear on a lot of the same sites and both do lesbian stuff but I’ve never seen them in the same scene. That’s probably a good thing though because my head would explode.) Sadly, Claire has since left the business. • Lexi Diamond in Jurassic Cock (site). I got hooked on this scene thanks to one thumbnail. Lexi looks mind-numbingly hot here. Yes, the male talent really doesn’t add anything (he’s the old dude who looks creepily like Hitler) but Lexi looks so good in this it doesn’t matter. And the male knows his job is to display Lexi as best as can be. • Jenni Anderson in Jurassic Cock (site). This is a favorite simply because I seem to have a thing for girls on a slip-n-slide. Yes, I know that’s weird. Ron Jeremy takes this from merely fun to downright zany with Jenni sliding down face-first to pop Ron’s cock in her mouth to sliding down feet first for some fucking. • Amia Miley in Massage Creep (site). I like massage-themed sites. While they’re repetitive if you watch a lot of them in a row they’re entertaining once in a while. Massage Creep is a great site and my favorite scene there is likely with Amia. She plays her role well – as a ditzy spoiled princess who wants the same treatment that celebrities get. The masseur drops some names of clients and she’s hooked. Plus, Amia looks hot here too – as always. • Mia Malkova in Lost in The Clouds on Erotica X (site). I like Mia but don’t actively seek her out. This scene is a favorite because it’s filmed in a building in Los Angeles that has a helipad and an external walkway and some rooftop public areas. Mia strolls around naked in full view. Some great public nudity. Not that this list needs to be longer, but there are several stars that are on my list of favorites that don’t have a favorite scene. I’m sure that most people who have favorite scenes have at least with Jenna Haze. I’m a big fan of hers, but no one scene stands out for me. The same holds true for Amy Brooke, though any favorite scene is most likely to be before she got fake breasts. I was probably one of the biggest Tanner Mayes fans when she was in her prime but there are no standout scenes for me. I don’t know if that’s the fault of the directors or Tanner herself. Finally, I have a list of models that I am actively seeking out new material (even if they’ve since left the business). If we start a thread on January 1, 2016 about our favorite scenes of 2015 I hope to have some from these stars: • Ava Taylor • Natalie Monroe • Alex Tanner • Lily (Lilly) Banks • Elaina Raye • Halle Von • Emily Grey • Taylor Rain • Kelly Klass So this has been a long read. I hope this starts some discussion about favorite scenes that we can all share. Maybe my collection has some hidden gems in it just waiting to be discovered thanks to a comment from a fellow PU member. | |

Okay, I know that some will criticize this post for being too long (it is). My wife told me I had to either clean the house or write about porn. At least that’s what I think she said. I’m not a very good listener. So the length of this list should be an indication that the house is still messy. Lists seem to be popular in January so I figured we needed something to buy into that. I was going through my collection and I have many scenes bookmarked that I go to over and over again. My guess is that many of you do too. I think the benefit for this might be that if others list their favorite scenes it might be an opportunity for the rest of us to add to our own list of favorites. If I think of it next year, maybe we can have a thread on our favorite scenes of 2015. So in anticipation of that, keep your eye open for what you like this coming year. But for now, this is a list of my all-time favorite scenes. I hope some of you add to it. There are two traits that seem to run through the list. First is that the model has to be a favorite. That should be obvious, but in some cases it’s a little known model that I like. In many cases, the scene I like most is the one where I first saw that model even if she goes on to be a superstar. The second is my love of a good scene set-up. For me, creating some sexual tension at first is so much better than just having the models drop their pants and fuck. So in the New Year’s tradition, here’s my list (it isn’t really in any order of importance but I’ve tried to group related scenes together where possible): DVD scenes (which are likely all still available through any of several DVD sites) • Inari Vachs in Whack Attack: Butt Fucking Frenzy. This is the first Inari Vachs scene I had ever seen and she instantly became a favorite star and this in my top three favorite scenes. In the scene setup Tom Byron allows her personality to shine through and that adds so much heat. • Tammi Ann in The Hitchhiker (Max Hardcore). This is the first Tammi Ann scene I ever saw and I was hooked instantly. Max shot this early in his career before he became sadistic. Tammi plays a bubbly babysitter to Max’s creepy old man thing (that was never a stretch for him). Tammi looks amazing here. I spent a long time sourcing every scene she ever did based on this first scene. • Aurora Snow and Gauge in Trained Teens 1. Watching this scene again yesterday is what triggered this post. Aurora and Gauge look amazing here. Both of them are porn superstars and both bring their A+ game to this scene. The scene starts off incendiary with Gauge and Aurora playing in the back of an SUV and the heat stays high the whole time. This entire DVD is one of Jules Jordan’s masterpieces. • Stacy Carpenter in Trained Teens 1. Another tour-de-force by Jules Jordan on this DVD. Jordan lets Stacy’s personality take centre stage and the scene set up with her looking at porn magazines in the front seat of his SUV is pure gold. I was a Stacy fan after this. • Gauge in Un-natural Sex 5. Gauge appears on this list a few times. This is a great scene overall, but the opening shots with Gauge leaning forward with her ass out and Erik Everhard comes up from behind and eats and rims her is pure gold. I remain envious of Everhard to this day because of this scene. • Alice, Candy Hill and Phyllisha Anne in Bodyslammin’ 1. I’m not normally a fan of scenes with more than two people in them but this is one that pushes some buttons. First, I love strippers and the scene starts in a strip club. Second, the scene continues with the three girls playing in Hummer and giving Alex Sanders road head, and finally, the scene remains hot throughout. The one drawback is that with action going on in multiple places once it moves indoors what the camera records may not always be the action you want to watch. • Angel Long in Young as They Cum 4. Angel Long has long been a favorite of mine. The reason this scene is among my favorites is because when I first watched it my jaw dropped at how much Angel looked like one of my wife’s cousins. (Coincidentally, this cousin has a brunette sister who at the time looked like Destiny St Claire. That scene appears on this list too.) Apart from my personal interest in the scene, it is hot on its own. Angel comes into the room and teases Julien by putting on a strip show on a brass pole. The scene is hot from start to finish. • Destiny St. Claire in First Date. I mentioned my personal interest in Destiny because she looks like someone I know, but this scene is among my favorites partly for that and partly because I love watching road sex. The seduction and disrobing of Destiny is great to watch. And it’s a decent scene too. • Brodi (Brodi Kennedy) in First Date. As I mentioned, I like road sex but this doesn’t have it though the seduction starts in the back of an SUV. This is my first time seeing a Brodi scene and she looks a lot better here than in many other scene. In some of her other scenes she looks a little too hard edged but here she looks more innocent. Or as innocent as a girl can look when she’s wearing next to nothing. The scene is pretty hot too. • Teagan Presley in Cum Drippers 6. This is a very early Teagan scene where her looks, screen presence and sexual talent marks her as the superstar she’d become. The scene is well casted with Erik Everhard who allows the viewer to see this newbie in all her glory. The only downside is watching this now and knowing how Teagan radically changed her look – and not for the better. • Cindy Crawford in Bend Over and Say Ahhhh 5. This is a fairly obscure scene that probably wouldn’t make many favorites list, but why it’s here is that this an early Cindy scene and she looks amazing coupled with a fun (though a little sinister) scene set-up. Cindy visits her new neighbour and when he goes to get her some water she discovers his fetish of photographing women’s asses. The scene itself isn't bad, but the set-up is fun. • Katie Gold in Sweet Rides 1. This is a no-brainer for me because I’m a huge fan of Katie and of this series. Katie plays the dizty girlfriend of a guy who admires his friend’s hot rod. The set-up is fun to watch. Katie looks amazing here too. This is a great series and worth finding. • Chelsea Rae in Hitchhiker. This isn't the Max Hardcore title, it’s from Sin City. Van Damage picks up Chelsie as she hitchhikes. He offers to bring her home to clean up and rest up a bit, as any chivalrous gentleman would do. Chelsie showers and then strolls into the living room naked to seduce a surprised host. This is a fairly early Chelsie scene and she looks amazing here. The set-up is great and the whole scene is pretty good. • Angela Stone in Teen Meat 4. I download any Angela scene I come across but don’t actively seek them out. In this scene she looks amazing (I have a thing for wet women who’ve just been in a shower, tub or pool) and the set-up is fun. Angela pops over to a friend’s to use the pool but the friend isn't home. Angela’s arrival interrupts the friend’s brother’s wank session. The brother begrudgingly lets Angela go swimming and he returns to wanking. He closes his eyes to fantasize about Angela when she walks into the room looking for a towel. Being a good guest she offers to help. A fun scene to watch with a hot model. • Tiffany Holiday in Naughty Little Nymphos 16. This scene pops up in compilations too, but I think the NLN 16 is the original. This scene is as creepy as they come and it’s a lot of fun to watch. Tiffany is upset because she wanted but didn’t get a slip-n-slide for her 18th birthday. Her stepdad, Herschel Savage thinks this is weird but turns it to his advantage. He sets up a tarp-and-oil based slip-n-slide in the dining room. But remember, oil might stain Tiffany’s clothes so Herschel properly suggests that she remove them. Let the fun begin. • Heather St. Claire in Buttman’s Wet Dream. This is a classic. Heather isn't a model I’d normally be attracted to but this scene draws me in. Heather starts with a striptease to audition and then takes on Tom Byron and another guy. The scene is playful and fun to watch. This is John Stagliano at his best. • Teagan in Shane’s World Surfer Girls. This is Teagan at the beginning of her career when she had such hot looks that you worried your monitor might melt. She has two scenes in the movie but the first is my favorite because it’s so playful. Several girls go to Hawaii and leave their boyfriends at home. One of them wonders why he had to stay home. Teagan says “get over it,’ pushes him back on the bed and rocks his world. • Zoey Monroe in Throat Fucks 5. I’m not normally a big fan of BJ scenes, but Zoey looks amazing here and brings an award winning performance. The title should suggest that this isn't a couple-oriented scene, but Zoey delivers what the title says. If you’re still with me, see Part 2 here https://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum_thr...d.html?threadid=4167 Feel free to add your own favorites to either part. | |

Every day up until two weeks ago I got a dozen or more emails with offers to join several Fame sites. Hard X, Erotica X, Evil Angel, Mike Adriano, Fame Digital, etc. Occasionally I took advantage of them. But then they stopped. Has anyone else noticed this? I should add that most email offers only offer what is already the discounted price here at TBP/PU so I make it a point to join through TBP/PU in case there are any referral kickbacks. | |

This is probably more of a rant than a comment, but it’s something that has been bugging me for a while. Lk2fireone’s comment on the Fame cancel pages not being secure prompted me to finally rant. I know this is a better fit for a comment but since Fame has so many sites it made more sense to put this in the forum. What bugs me about cancelling any Fame site is how hard they make it. I subscribe to several of their sites regularly and the join process is very easy. I select a username*, a password and some basic information including a credit card and I’m in. Leaving is a different matter though. They make you go through these steps: • find your join email to see which of several Fame billing sites they billed you through so you go to the right one. They’re all similar but you need to know because you can go through the first half of the cancel steps before you find out you’ve made a mistake • enter the first six and last four digits of the credit card you used. But… whereas with the join process the cursor automatically moved from one four-digit block to the next to make it easy, the cancel page requires that you tab forward yourself. No big deal, but annoying • enter the expiry date of your credit card using a pull-down menu. The issue here is that they swap the required order of that regularly • enter a six-figure captcha and hit ‘locate your order’ You’re now in a new page. If you’re a regular subscriber you’re given a list of past and present memberships. My lists on all the Fame cancel sites are long. If you’re list is shorter then this is less of a concern. The problem here is that there is no way to differentiate between past and current memberships. They all look the same and they all have a cancellation button – even the ones you cancelled a long time ago. You need to scour the list to find a join date and a site name. Choose an already cancelled site and you won’t know it until you’ve gone through the rest of the process. Select the right membership and hit the ‘cancel’ button You’re now taken to the third page… Now you have to enter your username • Enter your email • Confirm your email • Select your reason for leaving • Enter another six-figure captcha • Hit the ‘submit’ button and hope you got everything right – if not, you’ll be starting over I know that this rant sound whiny, but why make your customers go through this to cancel a membership. It isn’t like I’m trying to get out of the mob! I know of no other sites with such a convoluted process. I’m left with the thought that the only reason they do this is precisely to make it hard enough so that any error you make increases their chances of a rebill. That’s a bad choice, in my opinion, since they offer some of the best porn on the internet. They don’t need unfair tactics. (* in an unrelated rant, with Fame having so many sites it’s a pain in the ass to have to create a new username every time you join any of their sites. Do like Kink.com does – create an account under one username and then allow members to join whatever sites they want with that name. And cancel and rejoin later under the same name. I’m running out of usernames… | |

A recent back-and-forth between a PU member and webmaster got me wondering about site ripping. More important to me personally, I was left wondering if I could ever be accused of doing the same thing. What is site ripping? Is it literally using some kind of software to download EVERYTHING from a site automatically or is it just a term to describe a heavy user? The reason that I wonder about this is that often when I join a new site during my first week of the membership my downloads can be large. It wouldn’t be unusual for me to download 200+ GB from a site in the first week. But I don’t download everything – I only download what I like. If the scene features a MILF or a BBW I don’t download it. There is nothing ‘automatic’ about how I select what I want from a site. As an example, consider Brazzers. They tend to feature more large-breasted models than the petite models I like. So while I downloaded 200GB in just a few days it should be obvious to anyone at the site that I was being very selective. Contrast that with 18 Only Girls, where the models there are much more to my liking, I’ll be downloading a lot more, but I’m still selective. In all cases after a few days of downloading like a madman my downloads trail off as all I’m doing is looking at the updates. So as I can be a heavy user for a few days on a site even though I am selective in what I download is this considered site ripping? | |

I’ve never posted here about a specific scene, but I recently watched a Maddy O’Reilly scene at Brazzers that might cause me to rethink porn. The scene was uploaded on August 19 and is titled “Sex on Wheels.” I’m not a huge Brazzers fan due to their selection of mostly well-endowed women (either by nature or by a plastic surgeon) but when I heard about this scene I joined the site just for this one scene. I like Maddy O’Reilly and she’s definitely pushing the envelope a bit more. There are several things for me that mark this as an epic scene. First, it begins in public and the first sexual contact is with Maddy going down on the guy outdoors near a public area. When they move inside they’re on the ground floor of a house and they’re near a wall with large windows. Throughout the scene people walk by giving the scene a risqué element that makes the scene hot. Finally, Maddy really pushes the envelope with a golden shower at the end of the scene. She looks so innocent that this is a real surprise. My advice for those who have a Brazzers membership is to definitely watch this scene, and for those who don’t have a membership take advantage of the TBP discount and join. This will definitely be on my top-scenes list for a long time.  | |

There’s an interesting porn-related article in the April issue of Maxim titled “The Dirty Secret behind Dirty Movies” that focuses on the porn industry in Arizona and specifically looks at how the industry there draws on Arizona State University for new female talent. I wouldn’t normally have more than a passing interest in the article except that the main focus is two related sites that I’ve been a member at and will be again: Back Room Casting Couch and Exploited College Girls. The article lists a number of websites based in an area around ASU including my current favorite site, Amateur Allure, as well as Lightspeed Network, Aziani.com “and countless others.” I’m not really familiar with the journalism standards that Maxim applies, but I’m guessing that they’re relatively low since the article is written almost as a cautionary piece about how young women’s lives are being destroyed by the predatory male pornographers who live and work near ASU and prey on the “cute young coeds struggling to make tuition at one of the biggest party schools in the country.” The first several paragraphs of the story follow the plotline used at BRCC: a young lass answers an ad for some softcore work and meets a producer at his office. The producer talks about the good money in hardcore and convinces the girl to make a ‘demo’ tape, for which she won’t be paid, that the producer will shop around to get her lots of work in the industry. (Though it wasn’t mentioned in the article, the producer often points out to the model that to get to the really big money, up to $5K a scene, she has to do anal, which he also graciously offers to demo with her.) But the crux of the first part of the story uses the same conceit that BRCC uses on its site, namely that the guy isn’t a producer and there will be no work for the model. The not-so-subtle message of the story at this point is that the poor lass has ruined her life for nothing. (The story also raises other high-profile porn cases such as when Shane’s World shot an edition of “Scavenger Hunt” there, and how a frat boy’s college education was ruined when he had sex with Calli Cox in the shower while the camera rolled. They label Shane’s World “an amateur outfit.” They also tell the story of Courtney Simpson who famously wore her ASU cheerleading outfit in several scenes causing the school to take legal action for trademark infringement. I’m no marketing expert, but I think the better thing to do here would have been to offer to give her more ASU cheerleading uniforms and ask her to wear one in every scene. That could have paid off in increased enrollment.) It isn’t until well into the article that the author drops the façade and admits that the model he is focusing on (“Stacey”) was paid $2,000 to act like she was there for softcore and then get talked into and then perform hardcore. The article quotes “Stacey” as saying that she was duped though, and that she really did enter into the whole deal expecting a few nude shoots. She claims that the BRCC site owner had her sign a contract where the fine print imposed the hardcore element on her. If she reneged on that part of the contract she had to buy her way out at the price of $3,500. But the problem with that story is that the only source is from a woman who obviously has an axe to grind with BRCC. The article does note that such a contract term is illegal. I know we’re dealing with an 18-year old here, but why didn’t she walk away and take her chances? Some things don’t add up. I’m likely a bit different from the average reader of this article in that I have had memberships at BRCC and ECG. I really liked the sites and will definitely rejoin too. But the thing is this: I recognize that this is acting. Is there a power imbalance? Maybe. Is the model trapped? I doubt it. As a regular porn buyer I can also say that there are some models who don’t appear to have done more porn, but many of them have. Many have gone on to have porn careers. It seems that the author found a model who regretted her choice and wanted to speak out against it. In my opinion it’s bad journalism to use one example and apply it to a whole group. One point to note here is that I’m not supporting the tactics that the site uses to recruit models, but I doubt they’re as heavy-handed as “Stacey” said they were. The author should have done some independent research and not based his reporting solely on the account of one young woman who regrets a choice she made. Interestingly, the article quotes the porn recruiter and producer, Mike South, as saying that when he meets a young woman who wants to get into porn he says that he takes a different approach. “My interview process is like this: I’m looking for reasons not to shoot you. If it’s a nice girl from a nice family, I’ll ask ‘why the hell do you want to do this?” I don’t know what approach the BRCC owner uses, but with the author not bothering to find out apart from “Stacey’s” say-so, we’ll never know. Two things that will likely stir the pot a bit: I think that part of the problem is that when I was 18 and did some stupid stuff it wasn’t as public as it is today with the proliferation of cameras and the easy distribution via the internet. My (mostly alcohol-fueled, testosterone-filled) mayhem wasn’t subject to the same publicity as it is today. If someone took a picture of me doing something stupid they needed a week to get the film developed and then if they put it on the bulletin board I could just remove it. End of story. Not so now with everyone having a hi-def camera in their pocket and immediate access to the internet. Another factor is likely the need for attention that so many people have these days. Facebook and reality TV are good examples of this. It may be that “Stacey” and others thought this would be an edgy and hip thing to do and didn’t think through the consequences. And speaking of the consequences, isn’t that our problem too? I think the saying about porn – that we privately adore it and publically abhor it – applies here. It has consequences mostly because we create those consequences. The consequences are of our own making. Maybe we need to realize that some bad judgment shouldn’t scar a young person for life just as we weren’t scarred for life by our own stupidity years ago. I didn’t mean for this to turn into a rant… If you happen by a magazine stand in the next few days and want to read it, it’s the April issue with Sophia Bush on the cover. The article starts on page 77. Keep in mind that the May issue will be replacing that soon. Zinio has it too. (I should also note that the first page or so is available free online.) Any thoughts??? | |

I see here and on other sites where people will include a link to a third-party site where they've uploaded a picture. They are able to name the link something other than the web address name. How do they do that? Do you name the link within the site you're posting to or at the hosting site? | |

I have a recent memory of stumbling across a Marie McCray anal scene somewhere in my collection but all indications from IAFD and other similar sites don't support my memory. Does anyone know if she did an anal scene or am I starting the long slide to dementia? | |

Full disclosure: I’m starting this thread in hopes of learning about some sites that I had never heard of before, but also because it might start some conversations, which have been lacking around here for a couple of months. I’m sure everyone here is like me in that you tend to buy memberships within some relatively narrow boundaries. There’s no shame in that since we all like what we like. The sites I join tend to be slightly harder edged than average, but not over the top like some of the ‘Abuse’ sites. If I was writing this a few years ago the #1 site on my list would likely be Videobox because it was like a well-stocked adult shop but with lower prices. Today VB wouldn’t make any list I had of great or even good sites. The idea for posing this question came as I realized that when it comes to watching porn I often get a bit fixated in that I’ll go back to the same stuff over and over because I find it so hot. Does anyone else share this trait? If so, what sites have you been a member at where what you downloaded gets a disproportionate amount of viewing time? Here’s my list: Amateur Allure – A while back I got hooked on casting and quasi-amateur sites – the kind where the models aren’t truly amateur but don’t have a lot of scenes. I don’t remember how I found Amateur Allure but since I was a member there maybe three or four months ago the videos I downloaded from there get played a lot more than videos from other sites. This site is definitely outside what I’d normally look for: there’s very little anal and the sex is pretty standard. Many have (rightly) complained that the site is to formulaic, but that formula works. I think the reason that I like these videos so much is because the models are incredibly hot and they play at being sexually experienced but still somehow innocent. This is a site that I’ll rejoin many times. Exploited College Girls – This was another of my slightly-off-the-beaten-path sites when I was joining anything with a casting theme. I expected I’d like it, but not as much as I did and still do. This site also uses quasi-amateurs in that they are in the business, but only have a few scenes. So for me, there are a lot of fresh faces. The sex here is slightly harder-edged than with Amateur Allure but still pretty mainstream. I think the main reason I go back to these videos so often is because the models are so hot and they play slightly innocent. And road head. There’s lots of road head and that’s a new fetish of mine thanks to ECG. Teasers VOD – I’ve always been a huge fan of public nudity and exhibitionism and it’s one of those niches that seems like it would be easy to shoot. But it must be harder than it looks because I’ve had memberships at many public nudity sites and most of them lack any heat. Teasers, in my opinion, does everything right. The models are beautiful (many A-list porn stars) and the public nudity is daring. I think the biggest difference between Teasers and many other similar sites is that the other sites come off as almost clinical while Teasers is sensual and highly sexual – even though there is no sex. The bad news is that they are no longer updating due to a cease-and-desist order from the City of Los Angeles. For only being non-sex videos, these get a lot of air time from me. Evil Angel – I think I join this site more often than any other on the internet. EA provides exactly what I look for in videos: hot models, good production values, some kinky sex and lots of anal. If I’m in the mood to watch some nasty sex, I’ll usually plug in a drive that has lots of Evil Angel stuff on it. So what sites have provided you with the most viewing enjoyment in the past while? | |

I’m not a big fan of transsexual porn, but I’m not ideologically opposed to it either. It just isn’t my thing. Much like big breasts aren’t my thing either. The little TS porn I’ve seen, and the stuff that has been available on networks where I’ve been a member, seems to be overwhelmingly populated by South American models, and specifically Brazilian models seem to be in the majority. Why is it that South America and Brazil in particular seem to have more TS models than elsewhere? Or is this perception a mistake on my part? Keep in mind that I don’t actively look for TS porn so it may just be that the stuff that I have seen is skewed to South American models. Any thoughts? | |

Mason's new studio has finally opened it's doors for members and downloads. I just joined so I can't vouch for it, but Mason's work with Elegant Angel was superb and I have no reason to think this will be any different. The site is affiliated with Mason's other site Erotica X and that's part of the Open Life Network. I can vouch for both Erotica X and Open Life as I've had memberships there before. I don't think I'm breaching any rules to mention that there is a promo code available for 50% off. The code is OPEN50. With the studio being new, the site is likely small so having a discounted price at $15 is a good idea. I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got Maddy O'Reilly's first anal scene to watch...  hardx.com Edited by Staff on Mar 27, 2014, 08:10am (Khan: direct url edited) | |

… it bugs me when they get the same billing as the female models on porn sites. Let me explain. At a network that I’m a member at now the scenes list all the cast. The site I’m downloading from features parties with lots of people, both male and female. The cast list has many of the models listed, but often starts by listing some of the men, and usually intersperses the men’s names with the women. Since I name the downloads for the women in them, it makes it more confusing for me. Is “Tyler” or “Pat” a new female model I might like to find more of, or is it male? I won’t name the network or site because they aren’t the only ones who do this. I’ve complained about it in past reviews of other sites. I have nothing against the men in porn, and I think they deserve credit for the work they do. But I hold the opinion that the men in straight porn are really nothing more than a prop. The scene may have a couch or a bed, and it needs to have a penis too. The male supplies that. The male’s job is simply to show off the female at her best. I have nothing against listing the male talent, I just don’t like it when they get top billing. Does anyone agree or disagree? | |

As most members here probably already know, the former Elegant Angel director Mason is off on her own now. I’m not sure if she has any affiliation with EroticaX, but she has a sister studio called HardX. They have a blog, and they have trailers for what has to be some of the hottest porn to be made in years, but there are no obvious signs that the studio website is about to go live any time soon meaning the titles are only available as pricey VODs. I have read elsewhere that Mason was talking about a late February date for going live, but obviously they’ve missed that. I’ve also read that some people stumbled on what appeared to be a beta test of the site that was up for an hour or two. I know this is subjective, but it seems to me like this site is going to offer some amazing porn and may be a shot in the arm to a lagging industry. I’ll admit that a lot of the reason that I’m interested in this studio site is that Mason shoots stuff I like. It’ll be like an early Christmas when they go live and if they offer all their titles. Does anyone have any information on when the new site will be up? | |

I detest all sports as rabidly as someone who loves sports must hate common sense, but I’m willing to strike a compromise. As all forms of media other than porn seem saturated with Olympic coverage now, I’ve thought of something that might finally make me watch some of this coverage. This comes as I recalled finally finding a sport that I liked when I turned on the TV two years ago during the summer Olympics and had a bit of an epiphany. My proposal: Make women’s beach volleyball a winter sport too. Women’s beach volleyball has everything any sports enthusiast should like. If not, then it at least has everything I like. It has attractive, athletic women, it has attractive, athletic women is skimpy clothes, and it has attractive, athletic women in skimpy clothes who pat each other on the bum as a sign of solidarity. What more could you ask for? Well… And adding this as a winter sport too would mean that it would have attractive, athletic women in skimpy clothes who pat each other on the bum as a sign of solidarity with erect nipples! Please support me in my quest to have this included in the winter Olympics. If I’m successful with this I plan to leverage that success to lobby to have women’s beach volleyball added to other venues. The office and retail environments could be improved with this addition. So could new and used car dealerships. I’m also thinking that the Roman Catholic Mass could be improved with this too. Instead of a homily, the priest could referee a match. I’ll bet collections would go up. Oh, and in case I forgot to mention this, women’s beach volleyball has attractive, athletic women in skimpy clothes who pat each other on the bum as a sign of solidarity. Just sayin’… | |

No, not that closet. But John Travolta and Tom Cruise send their greetings.  A trait I have is that I like to collect first on-screen anal scenes or rare anal scenes from models who don’t do a lot of anal. (Don’t worry; I also try to collect every anal scene from the anal queens too.) I realized something about the kind of anal I prefer when I watched some firsts over the past while. Tanner Mayes and Lexi Belle are examples of this, and in seeing the trailer for Maddy, the pending DVD with Maddy O’Reilly’s first and second anal scenes, these will be the same, and I’m disappointed. I’ve discovered in watching these that there is something dissatisfying about them. I didn’t know what it was since I was living the dream seeing some of my all-time favorite stars perform my favorite on-screen sex act. What could be the problem? Here were these hot models taking long, balls-deep, slamming rough poundings. And therein lies the problem for me. I don’t really like long, balls-deep, slamming rough poundings. I remember when anal wasn’t so common and back then it was a spicy add on to a primarily vaginal scene. Yes, I can understand that when it is a model’s first on-screen anal the sex has to be more focussed on that act, but why does it need to be so brutal? What would have made me happier is if these firsts were done more in the style of X-art or EroticaX. With passion rather than brute force. Maybe some of these rare anal models would have done or would do more anal if they didn’t have to endure such a relentless pounding. Call me old-fashioned, but a brutal anal pounding lasting 30+ minutes just doesn’t seem natural. (And I’m judging this subjectively by guessing I wouldn’t last that long if given the opportunity.) Don’t get me wrong, but it seems like there is more hard anal these days than softer stuff. Yes, I know for anti-anal people there probably isn’t much of a difference, but there is. Part of the fault is mine since I regularly subscribe to sites like Evil Angel where some directors have turned hard, relentless anal into an art form, but I do wish that there were more natural anal scenes out there. Does anyone else share this opinion or think I’m nuts? Does anyone have any site recommendations where anal is common but doesn’t seem to be some sort of a punishment for the model? | |

There’s some buzz on other boards about the January 29 release of a DVD titled Maddy, starring Maddy O’Reilly. The buzz is that it has her first and second anal scenes. The link given is to a site called HardX.com. When I go to that site it isn’t much more than a blog but there are clear signs that it is affiliated with (or more likely run by) Open Life, Mile High Media and Gamma Entertainment. HardX has also produced other titles that look interesting. The boxcover pics clearly show that the DVDs are produced by O.L. Entertainment Inc. Does anyone know if this DVD will be made available on any of the Open Life sites? If so, does anyone know which paysite titles from this studio get uploaded to? I can’t imagine that given the affiliation with three big internet porn providers that this is a DVD only production. If the site is an attempt to generate buzz for this and other titles it would be better if they would point potential customers to the site where it will be available. Any help will be greatly appreciated. | |

I’ve had several offers to rejoin sites that bill through the Fame network. The offer is a low price and includes the offer of a free 30 day membership to a site called Hardcore Super Porn. I joined Reality Junkies this way and took the free offer. My advice if you get the same offer is to avoid the optional free membership to Hardcore Super Porn. You won’t be missing much as the site is almost impossible to use and what they do have appears to be very similar to Videobox. Many of the studios and titles are the same and they have the same low resolutions too. The confirmation email was from “The DVDbox network,” so it might even be affiliated with Videobox. When I tried to cancel the membership to avoid a charge the link directed me to Gamma Support but no membership could be found. That could mean that I don’t really have a membership that could be rebilled, but it could also just be a problem. I’ve emailed them for confirmation. My advice is to avoid the free offer if it comes your way. The site is crap and cancellation problems add to the frustration. | |

I’ve recently started going back through my photo collection. I’m more of a video collector but I will download photos of my favorite models. I used an ancient trial version of ACDSee (version 2.41). It worked well for viewing photos but it had several features that the stock Microsoft photo viewer doesn’t seem to have. The first is a preview function. With ACDSee I could open a screen that showed the file tree on the left and when I clicked on any file the main part of the screen would open thumbnails of all the photos in that folder. The other feature was an ability to bulk-rename photos. The problem I have is that this old version of ACDSee isn’t entirely Windows 8 compatible. It will work as a picture viewer but none of the other features work. When I try to use them, the software crashes. That means that if I’m looking for a specific photo set I have to do it in the file manager screen and open each folder to see thumbnails, close that and then open another, etc. Can anyone recommend a good software package for viewing photos? There may even be something better shipped with Windows that I haven’t discovered yet. Any advice will be appreciated. I should add that my preference would be for freeware, but I am willing to buy if needed. The problem with most of what I’ve seen available is that they are more about editing and are far more feature heavy than I really need. All I want to do is fine, organize and view. Thanks! | |

This topic was raised on another forum and I was surprised that someone else actually shared the interest. That thread has mostly been hijacked by a discussion about one particular house thats been used for a lot of porn shoots. The niche is that of using identifying features in outdoor scenes (or the parts that are outdoors) to figure out where the scene was shot. For me, it started innocently enough with a membership to Teasers VOD, which is likely the best American public nudity site on the internet. (Sadly, no longer updating.) Many of the shoots have some really daring public nudity on the streets around West Hollywood and with one shoot in particular I was just curious about just how daring and public the scene really was so I noted a couple of business names, Googled those and got an address that I used in Street View. And I had my answer as to just how public that scene was. And then I got hooked. I started, but still havent finished, going through all of my favorite Teasers scenes to find the locations. I also started doing that for other scenes that have some outdoor element with identifiable features. Last week I downloaded scenes from the new site EroticaX and one of them had some intro scenes shot on a rooftop balcony and helipad. So I noticed a few identifying features on surrounding buildings and eventually discovered that the scene was shot at Renaissance Tower in Los Angeles. According to their website they rent apartments for movie productions. Some of it looks a lot like the apartment with the newer scenes on Casting Couch X too, but I havent investigated that further. So does anyone else here share this admittedly weird niche of the porn hobby? And yes, Im aware that most people will find this a bit odd  | |

I don?t want to step on anyone?s toes here (like Rick?s) but has there been any new information on the sites that TBP and PU will become? Things seem to be picking up around here after a serious drop when the raffle was ended. I?m looking forward to seeing the new sites and hope that all of us regulars show up there too. I know I?ll move to the new sites when they?re up. Edited by Staff on Dec 13, 2013, 02:49pm | |

I stumbled onto a 2013 documentary titled Aroused by the British photographer Deborah Anderson. I found it on Netflix. The documentary was a sub-project of a photography book she did trying to show porn models as more sensual than just sexual. The documentary features 16 well known porn stars. These are: Belladonna, Kayden Kross, Lisa Ann, Katsuni, Teagan Presley, Ash Hollywood, Misty Stone, Tanya Tate, Asphyxia Noir, Jesse Jane, Francesca Le, Lexi Belle, April O’Neil, Brooklyn Lee, Allie Haze and Alexis Texas. Not all the models are given the same amount of screen time: Brooklyn Lee, Ash Hollywood, Misty Stone and Francesca Le seem to get the most coverage. Some models, like Lexi Belle and April O’Neil are probably on screen for only a few minutes. I really liked this doc and thought it was pretty eye-opening for a jaded porn consumer like me. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of flakiness in the models too. Not that I’m saying that porn models are flaky so much as I’m saying that women in their early to mid-20s are usually pretty flaky. (And to deflect any criticism on that point, I think that men of that age are also flaky but women likely grow out of it much earlier. It seems a lot of ‘men’ these days seem to have this extended adolescence that goes on until 30-something.) A few specific observations that I noted: • I think it was Ash Hollywood who noted that people might be mistaken when they suggest that broken homes are the cause of many girls heading into porn. Her position was that the connection is really the lack of a father figure to worry about disappointing. I thought that was an astute observation. • I’m surprised by the level of religiosity that some girls still have. Many report being brought up within strict religious rules and while most have moved past that some haven’t. I suspect that part of my surprise at this comes from not being an American or living in the U.S. which is easily the most religious western democracy. • I had no frigging idea that Katsuni is French. I don’t have much, if any, of her stuff and it really surprised me that she is French. • I want to marry Brooklyn Lee. I like her work, but after seeing this doc I’m officially in love. Yes, she’s physically hot, but she also seems like a genuinely interesting and very intelligent person. (Can I rely on one of you to break the news to Tanner Mayes that I have a new love interest?) Not all reviews are flattering. The Village Voice didn’t like it: http://www.villagevoice.com/2013-05-01/f...as-tube-of-lipstick/ I don’t agree with their comments and I suspect that this is likely due to them reviewing it as non-porn-consumers whereas I liked it precisely because I’m a porn consumer and have seen most of these model’s work. Check it out of you have a Netflix subscription or can get it elsewhere. | |

I stumbled across what seems to be the “official” James Deen site but it with no listing I have no idea what the site is. What it appears to be is an ‘official’ tube site with many of Deen’s scenes but since it is marketed as a tube site I’m guessing that it’s streaming only. The low membership price of $20 for three months would seem to support that. Also, the material doesn’t seem to be exclusive to this site but is instead a collection of scenes that Deen has shot for various studios. Anyone have any experience with the site? Deen shoots some amazing porn with some of the hottest models in the business so if the site offered downloads I’d likely join. | |

I haven’t done a scientific survey on this, but it seems like BangBros has more of a love/hate thing going on than other sites rated here and TBP. Yes, some sites may have garnered wildly different opinions based on subjective things like the type of model or something like that, but on one hand you have TBP and some PU members saying BB is the best thing since sliced bread and on the other hand you have a vocal (and convincing) group of PU members who say they’ve been scammed. Some have gone so far as to say that TBP/PU should delist them. That stands in stark contrast to the review posted at TBP today where the network was scored at 90 and no mention was made of the problems so many other subscribers had. And 90 at TBP, as you know, is a high score. So what’s the deal? Any idea why there is such a range of experiences here? Both sides seem firm in their positions and both seem to back those positions up with facts. I was a member there in 2012 and though I don’t think I wrote a review of any of the sites I track my memberships in a Word document. I really don’t remember much about the network, but me in the past left a message to me in the future by including a warning in upper case red letters. It reads :”DON’T REJOIN.” So me in 2012 is obviously on the side of the naysayers. Any ideas as to why there is such a range of objective opinion seemingly based on facts and personal observation? (I realize that this could have been a comment on the BB page, but I figured it was more of a forum topic because is isn't so much about the site as it is how there are two distinct and opposed camps here.) | |

Does anyone here have any information on or experience with the new Max Hardcore site? It’s called Max Hardcore TV and it seems to be run by Max, but that would be easy enough to fake. But I have heard rumours that he’s making porn again. The site looks pretty shady and it also appears that it might be streaming only, and even then that might be low resolution only. I know Max is probably the most polarizing person in porn, but if anyone has some information, advice or experience with this site I’d appreciate hearing it. The site isn’t listed at TBP and I haven’t emailed suggesting that it be listed until I can find out if the site is legit. And, in case you’re wondering, I’m not asking this question for my own benefit. It’s for a friend. My friend Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo…  | |

I’ll admit to at least two motives here: 1) starting a discussion like we used to have in the good old days, and 2) learning about some models I might not otherwise know about and might like to check out. Ever since I had access to porn that I could select (and I’m old enough and from a conservative enough community that this wasn’t always the case) I’ve often developed an interest (obsession?) in particular models. Probably the first were Tammi Ann and Inari Vachs which would date back 15 years. I still remember (and have been lucky enough to source them again) the first videos I saw of each of them. It was love at first site and after that I would buy or rent anything I could get that had them in it. Seriously, there could be a title like “Al Borda presents: Tammi Ann washes the dishes! Hot girl-on-porcelain action!! Knives! Plates! Even spoons!” and I would so buy that. As each “it’ girl left the business (or returned, as in Inari’s case!) I developed a new crush. Taylor Rain, Jenna Haze, Gauge, Chandler, Destiny St. Claire, Angel Long and others all spent time on my list. One result is that I still have a lot of material from these women and I always will even though the quality can reflect that the scenes are quite old. At each point in my porn collecting hobby I’ve likely had a model or two whose scenes I search for and buy. The odd thing about two of my current main ‘it’ girls is that they’re both out of character for me. Both of the models that I look for stuff from have characteristics that would normally indicate that I’d have no interest. My definite #1’it’ girl these days is Asphyxia Noir. I suspect that Ms. Noir is a bit of a polarizing figure because of her tattoos. Up until I saw Asphyxia I, too, was anti-tattoo. In many ways I still am but there is just something about Asphyxia that draws me in. I’ve taken memberships to sites that I likely would not have otherwise just to get an Asphyxia scene. Burning Angel and Wake Up ‘n Fuck (a Pierre Woodman site) to name two. I’ve recently rejoined Evil Angel much sooner than I normally would just to get an Asphyxia scene. Same with Dog Fart Network. If it weren’t for some new Asphyxia I’d likely not have rejoined. (I’ll just mention in passing that Bonnie Rotten and Krysta Kaos are also current ‘it’ girls for me, but not at the same level as Asphyxia. This is a huge surprise even for me given that I’m generally as anti-tattoo as the next guy. I won’t mention a lot of detail because Bonnie and Krysta are likely much more polarizing models than Asphyxia. But I’ve joined sites and bought movies just to see either of them.) The other current ‘it’ girl is also a bit of a stretch for me given that she’s a fair bit older than the models I normally like, in fact, she’ll be turning 30 in a few weeks. Like Asphyxia, I can’t really describe what it is that draws me to Lou Charmelle, but I like everything about her. She’s stunningly beautiful and seems willing to do just about anything. So who else here has or has had an obsession that they want to tell us about? Don’t spare the details. | |

I don’t want to come across as naïve, so I’ll state clearly that I don’t believe the format for Exploited College Girls and Back Room Casting Couch. I don’t believe that a guy with a camera can get hundreds of hot coeds to come to a hotel room with his for sex in the hopes that they can be the next Sasha Grey or whoever. Nor do I believe that a guy can rent an office and lure wanna-be models in and talk them into sex on camera. As much as I’d like to believe that, I can’t imagine that it is true given strict 2257 requirements and other legal issues. But… As I browse through the sites and watch what I’ve downloaded it strikes me that there are a LOT of attractive young women out there who seem to dabble in porn. Of the hundreds of models who appear on these sites (with some overlap) I’d say that fewer than 20 are recognizable porn stars. I don’t watch a lot of amateur stuff, or visit cam-girl sites so these girls could come from there too I suppose. But I can’t help but notice that it seems pretty easy for these guys to get hot models to dabble in porn at least once. So where do these models come from? What’s in it for them? I realize that none of us here have the answer, and the answer for each model will be unique, but even discounting that the set-up is likely contrived, there seems to be no shortage of women willing to try porn. I’m not even sure what I’m asking here, maybe it’s ‘why are so many women willing to dabble in porn?’ It seems to me that this is a business where you either stay out or jump in and go big. Thoughts? (And I'm not thinking of starting a site. Yet... ) | |

I recently joined a newly-added site here to get access to a rare Taylor Dare anal scene and also discovered an equally rare Kacey Jordan anal scene. That got wondering if there were more Kacey Jordan anals out there so I googled it and got a hit at a site called "Philly Butt Sluts" that seems to only be accessible through a site called "Clips4Sale." But it appears that, true to the site's name, you can't buy the complete scene but you have to buy it in clips. The worst part is that if you want the entire scene be prepared to pay $42. Read that again: $42 That's not a typo. I didn't misplace a decimal point.  Is Clips4sale a legitimate site? Would someone actually pay these insane prices? (Disclosure: I have been known to join a site just to get access to one scene, but $42 for one scene is too steep for me.) Finally, on a related note, does anyone know anything about Philly Butt Sluts? Does it exist as a stand-alone site that could be joined for a reasonable fee? I googled it and came up dry. | |

I’m quite a porn hoarder and have over 20 external drives full of it. Most of those drives are 1TB and several are 2TB, so there’s a lot of porn there. In the past I’ve always warned people to not delete any of their porn because they’d likely regret it. I based that on the fact that I regretted throwing out some old VHS tapes many years ago. Not exactly the best logic. I recently was browsing through some of my older stuff and realized that some of it is absolute crap. Some is crap because it is 320x240 resolution, some is crap because it is just bad porn, and some is both. So I undertook the first major overhaul of my collection in probably 10+ years. The bottom line is that I’ve deleted over half of my collection. The hard part is updating my list that I have to track all the stuff I have (having a lot of porn means also needed to keep track of it). I’m also consolidating what’s left onto few drives. That makes me realize how slow USB is for large amounts of data. Going forward, I’m planning to aim for quality more than quantity. I’ll only be downloading the highest resolutions available (and if it isn’t high enough then I’ll skip the scene) and I’m planning to ‘quarantine’ all new porn to watch it and make sure that its worth keeping before I add it to my permanent collection. So does any former porn hoarder or disciplined downloader have any tips for someone who’s changing how he downloads and manages his collection? | |

When you plug a portable harddrive into your computer it assigns a drive letter to it. My laptop has XP and if I have a drive that it labels “J” and I plug a second drive in XP will give it a different letter assignment. Not so with New Coke… umm, I mean Windows 8.  If I plug in one of my newest WD drives it gets assigned a letter and if I then plug in a second one (identical in specs – WD 2TB) it gets assigned the same letter. I figured the fix would be easy by simply manually assigning a different letter to one of the drives, but New Coke fucks that up too by assigning the new drive letter to BOTH drives at the same time. I even tried unplugging one drive and renaming the remaining one and then plugging the second drive but that doesn’t work either because other WD drives get that new assignment too. What seems to be the issue is Windows 8 can’t or won’t see these as unique drives – it sees them as WD 2TB drives and assigns the same letter.Anyone have any tips? The WD drives come with some folders and software already installed. If I removed that would the drive then be seen as unique? Thanks | |

I know that indexes exist for porn stars that appear on websites (EBI and indexxx, for example) and I know that IAFD lists VOD sites where DVDs are available, but does anyone know if an index exists that lists any paysites where a DVD is available for download. IAFD occasionally lists Videobox as a source but that’s fairly rare. Any ideas? | |

I’m not technically-inclined regarding software, hardware or files so I can’t sort this one out on my own and hope that the best and brightest here can give me some guidance. I’m into my umpteenth Videobox membership and one of my goals this time is to get higher quality versions of some of my favourite scenes that I already have. There are two possible options for downloads that fit what I want: WMV DVD and H.264. The specs come in fairly close. I downloaded one scene in both resolutions to compare them: WMV DVD: 300MB, 720x480, 2300kb/s, 30fps H.264: 167MB, 640x480, 1500kb/s, 30fps Subjectively they both look the same though the WMV file does appear to be a bit better. They both look pretty crappy but it is an older scene so that may be part of the reason. From a technical perspective, which of these should I take? I’m inclined to take the WMV file because the numbers are a bit better and file size is not an issue. Is the substantial difference in file size the result of better compression or are there other factors? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. (Two additional and only semi-related points: when HD is available on the one DVD per day I’ll definitely take that, and it has only been since I’ve been conscious about getting better quality scenes that I now realize that VB is really behind the curve in their offerings.) | |

I know that various parts of this question have been asked before, but please allow this repeat question since I think the core of it is a bit different. Some background: I download a lot of porn. I keep EVERYTHING I download. I back up EVERYTHING I keep. I have 20 portable hard drives ranging from a 120GB drive that is probably almost 10 years old to a 2TB drive that I bought yesterday. Those are the ones that need no AC plug-in. Apart from that I have 9 backup drives that require AC plug-ins. Those range from a 500GB drive to many 3TB drives. I’m thinking that my backup policy is a bit too anal. (Pun not really intended.) I’m thinking of modifying my plan because it costs a lot to back stuff up and then requires separate physical storage to store those additional drives. My thought is that I’ll back up stuff I can’t replace – stuff like Teasers VOD which isn’t updating and may be taken down, and Nude in LA, which is gone. Those are specialty niches. But stuff like the videos from Videobox, videos from any of the Kink sites, Evil Angel, etc., I’m not sure those are at the same risk of disappearing. My plan is has two big unknowns and those are what I’d like some advice on: Am I reasonable in thinking that sites like Kink, 21 Sextury, Videobox Evil Angel, etc. – mainstream, popular sites – are in no danger of disappearing overnight. My thinking is that even with a 2TB primary drive it’s probably cheaper to assume the risk and just replace the porn if a drive fails than to back it up. I’ve never had a drive fail on me. They get plugged in when needed and then unplugged and are stored in a safe place. Am I just lucky or is the failure rate of these portable drives low enough that it isn’t a real risk? Any advice you have will be appreciated. (And maybe some advice on ‘scrubbing’ my backup drives too. If I opt to change my backup habits I’ll probably sell six or seven drives and will want to ensure that nothing remains on them.) Thanks! | |

Some recent comments that I read on this forum, and some comments I made in recent reviews, caused me to think about the value of internet porn. That’s value as in value for money, not moral value. When I write a review one thing I try to do is give a sense of whether the site provides decent value for a prospective member: is there good bang for the buck, if you’ll excuse the unintentional pun. The thought came up when I was writing a review for Hardcore Doorway and was thinking if a site that pretty much doesn’t update any longer and has a lot of older stuff can be a good value. I know there are those who disagree with me, but I think that the fact that a site doesn’t update is just one factor in determining value. So that got me to thinking about how I assess value. Value relative to what? Obviously the answer to that question is value in relation to similar sites. But that led me to think about value relative to the old days, which led me to the inevitable conclusion that things are so much better now than they used to be. Remember the bad old days? Your porn collection was a stash of magazines. Or VHS tapes, or DVDs. Whatever the medium they took up a lot of space and were almost instantly identifiable as porn. And to access this stuff you had to put on your trench coat and go to the local smut shop, assuming you were lucky enough to live in a town where the good Christian town fathers would allow such a thing (they got theirs through the mail I suppose). And the price. A VHS or DVD movie could set you back the cost of a good membership now. So contrast the bad old days with today and I wonder if my worry about value makes any sense. Even if the site wasn’t updating, I had access to over 500 scenes for $20. That’s an amazing value. And I did so from the comfort of my home where, if my neighbours looked in I could tell them that I was searching for biblical prophecy clues. Add to that that I have roughly the storage space of 800 DVDs sitting on my desk (the others are safely locked away) that don’t scream to passersby “Hey! I’m full of porn! Dirty, filthy porn that only a sick pervert would look at!” I know that these are dark days what with the tube and torrent sites kicking the crap out of legitimate adult businesses, and governments being swayed by zealots and soccer moms to crack down, but these are still pretty good days for porn buyers. Any thoughts? | |

And now that you’ve opened the thread I’ll have to confess that I don’t even know enough to realize if I’m asking the question correctly… Owing to the kind of porn I prefer (studio-based, harder-edged, A-list models) I tend to regularly join and rejoin sites that are part of the Fame Dollars group. So out of curiosity I checked out their website. Doing so left me with some questions about how these businesses work and I thought the best and brightest here might be able to shed some light on this for me. And failing that, pat362 will weigh in with his encyclopedic knowledge of all things porn! Fame Dollars only seems to ‘represent’ big name sites. So if I have a top studio (Devil’s Film, for example) would I join up with Fame Dollars to take advantage of their expertise? Fame Dollars seems to say that they pay a site $35 for each ‘join’ (membership or trial). I must be misreading this. Most of the Fame Dollars sites offer a $20 TBP discount so why would Fame take my $20 for joining Evil Angel and then give EA $35? If the $35 payout is correct – even on a trial – is that because my contact information as an active porn buyer is valuable? (I’m not opposed to this, BTW…) Any thoughts? | |

Like many other members here I am generally opposed to tattoos on female porn stars (though since it is a popular trend in that age group we’d better get used to it for a while). But recently I ran a cross a picture of a star I’d never seen before named Bonnie Rotten. Ms. Rotten is heavily tattooed and has tattoos over much of her body with the exception that there doesn’t seem to be any above her neck. She’s somewhat unusual in that her breasts are tattooed with spider webs where her nipples are at the centre. Even her armpits are tattooed. Anyway, I found myself strangely compelled to find some scenes with her, which I was able to. That led me to searching for scenes with Krysta Kaos, Christy Mack and Joanna Angel. In the past I’ve avoided scenes with heavily tattooed models but now I’m scouring all the sites where I have memberships to download what I can. The strange thing about this is that I still don’t really like tattoos on women unless they’re excessive. So does anyone know if there was a flaw in the space – time continuum recently that would cause such a radical shift in thinking? Has this sort of overnight conversion ever happened to anyone else? And, perhaps most importantly, can anyone give me more names of heavily tattooed pornstars? | |

I’m sure I’m not the only ass-obsessed Lexi Belle fan here who has been waiting impatiently to see, as pat362 calls it, the “Holy Grail” of anal sex, namely Lexi Belle’s first anal scene. It was recently released for DVD sales only. For those interested, it is now available as a VOD or a DRM-protected download on Adult DVD Empire. The DRM-protected download is $19.79 and the VOD is available as for 2, 7 or 30 days for $3.99, $13.19 and $15.39 respectively. I know that DRM-protected downloads and VODs are a polarizing subject here, but if the option is seeing this movie now or waiting until Elegant Angel puts it up on their website, which could be months away, I’ll go for the VOD rental. For those interested, the movie itself is very good. The anal scene is actually surprising in that she takes anal like she’s been an anal queen for years. Pat362 expressed concerns that since she was so anal-adverse in the past that she may look uncomfortable or even worse, look like she’s in pain, which can detract from the scene. She doesn’t look uncomfortable or in pain at all. She looks like she’s enjoying it. Two other surprises: James Deen (the lucky bastard who gets to do the deed) doesn’t take it easy on her; he pounds her as he does with anal queens, and Lexi does ATM too. I wouldn’t have guessed I’d see that! If you’re a fan of anal sex and Lexi Belle it is definitely worth checking out. | |

I’m in the process of writing a review and one of the subjective complaints I have about the site is that when you open a page for a scene it starts to download the streaming version which can be a bit of a bandwidth hog. At least it doesn’t commit the sin of automatically starting the streaming, which can be a problem if your speakers are on. This got me to thinking: if sites are catering more to streaming (and I base this on the fact that a lot of sites start the streaming automatically, thereby wasting bandwidth for people who are only there to download) is streaming more popular than downloads now? One caveat to this: I’m probably asking the wrong crowd. My guess is that the members here, people who are avid collectors, probably download more than stream, but what about the average porn buyer? Is he or she streaming more? If not, why would sites assume streaming is the preferred method and start it automatically? If a site were to eliminate automatic streaming wouldn’t that save them money in those wasted bandwidth costs? Thoughts? | |

Just curious… I’m a member at several Kink.com sites and am currently fascinated by Asphyxia Noir. Admittedly, since she’s young and petite liking her isn’t straying too far for me, but I’ve never really been into the Goth thing and she does have tattoos –even on her face, which would normally be a deal-breaker for me. But here I am madly trying to find more of her. I’ve had some success, but she doesn’t have many titles to her credit. Unfortunately, she’s not listed at indexxx either so that’s no help. Anyway, have you ever stepped – even just a little – outside your comfort zone? | |

Just curious… I’ve had maybe two webmasters make comments as a reply to my reviews and I was emailed once with a ‘thanks for the review’ comment. No one has ever contacted me with anything negative until recently and I’m just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. My only negative reply was an email from a webmaster threatening me with legal action for a comment I made prior to a full review. I commented that a certain site limitation wasn’t clearly spelled out on the site or in the terms of service. He objected to that and pointed me to a clause in the TOS which he said DID make that limitation clear. I’ve read that clause multiple times and still can’t see his point. So he threatens me with a lawsuit for damaging his business… He argues that my sin is in telling people that the TOS isn’t clear, but I suspect that if I did cost him business it’s because I mentioned the limitations of his site. Curiously, I noted that this webmaster has taken on some other PU members for comments and reviews when some of his site’s flaws are noted. Anyone else have similar experiences? | |

... check your email. I had an email from Diesel Access News announcing a new site site affiliated with the Wow Girls side of the business. I'm not sure how strong the affiliation is because from the preview I don't recognize any of the models from Diesel and Wow. It looks good though. I suspect I'll join and ask the staff to add a page. The site is Babes.com | |

Staples has Toshiba Canvio 3.0 1TB drives on for a clearance. The price is $30 lower than a 1TB WD or Seagate drive at Costco. I've only ever used WD and Seagate but the price of these Toshibas has me interested. Does anyone have any experience with these? My WD and Seagate drives have been trouble-free. Is anyone aware of Toshiba's reputation? | |

I hate all sports as rabidly as someone who loves sports must hate common sense, except for one… I generally don’t watch any of the Olympics when they’re being run. I find a lot of the strange copyright rules to be counter to the meaning of the event and would just rather not have anything to do with them. I’m also just not a big fan of sports. I don’t watch things like the Stanley Cup playoffs, the World Series or the World Cup. But… this morning I turned on the TV for a minute and like divine intervention, there was the one sport that I could sit and watch all day. The power, grace and agility on display make other sports seem trivial. I am, of course, talking about women’s beach volleyball. But today was even better. In the opening match Russia was up against China in a match where China was heavily favoured to win. Then I saw her and it was like an arrow to my heart: Anastasia Vasina. I am officially in love. I think I’ll divorce my wife, learn to speak Russian and pursue her. I’ll let you know how that goes. She’s the taller lass on the left of the photo wearing, justifiably, #1. http://cms.cev.lu/mmp/online/website/new...286904/index_EN.html | |

Sorry if this is old news to many of you, but I just read that Hollie Stevens died on July 3, 2012. She was only 30. She had breast cancer that spread to her brain. Sad news when someone so young dies. | |

I’m having a problem with FDM and I wonder if some of the more techie members here might know of a solution. Yesterday I had to delete FDM because is was causing a temporary problem and interfering with something else I was doing. No big deal, I thought, since I could just download the newest version and be back in business. I downloaded the latest version and everything went fine up until I tried to use it. I set it for the highest download speeds and that usually gives me 3800+kb/s. But after I reloaded the software I’m seeing speeds as low as 1 b/s. Average speeds are in the 400 kb/s range. I’ve sorted through all the settings, but nothing works. I could see if the download acceleration function needed to be turned on, but this speed is much, much lower than I could get just downloading using my browser. I removed the software again and found a slightly older version and the problem remains. I tried downloading from several sites and all of them had the same issue, though curiously X-Art gave me the highest speeds at 2000 kb/s. Faster, but about half of what I was used to getting. I’m stumped. I’ve made no changes to my operating system (which is still XP). If anyone has some suggestions I’d be grateful for the help. (I’ve downloaded the trial version of Internet Download Manager but I hate having to learn to use new software. One thing that bugs me about IDM is even though it offers the ability to set it to only download one file at a time that doesn’t work. Maybe that’s a restriction on the trial version, but I don’t think so since something else I tried told me that the feature was deactivated on the trial version. So I clearly have the maximum number of simultaneous downloads set at one and I can download as many as I want at one time. Except if I want one, of course…) | |

This thought occurred to me the other day: I have a list of sites where I’ve never had a membership but plan to, but rarely chip away at that list. The reason isn’t that I don’t want to, but that I also have a list of sites that I take memberships to on a regular basis. I join Videobox twice a year, I join several of the sites on the Kink.com network regularly, I join Evil Angel every few months and alternate that with the group of Evil Angel sites like Mike Adriano. ALS Scan and Nubiles are on the list. There are others too. I’ve added the Diesel Access network to must re-visit list, and I think X-Art will be added too. I’m wondering if the day is coming when I just won’t bother looking for new sites. Does anyone else think the same way? | |

This came up as I was watching an older video from Peter Romero’s POV Porn site. It was recorded in 2004 and stars a lovely young lass in what she says is her first b/g hardcore video. That may or may not be true. The girl goes by the name Brynne, which at some point later in her career she changed to Taryn Thomas. “Brynne” scenes must be so rare that the alias isn’t listed in IAFD or Indexxx. (Though Indexxx does list “Britt” as an alias.) Anyway… all that to say that I have been a big fan of Taryn Thomas for a while, but seeing this early scene when she was new and nervous is a complete contrast to her high-energy and often anal scenes. It’s hard to believe that the Brynne in this early scene is the same model who does some pretty intense stuff now. I wish there was more of her in this young and naïve mode. Another similar case for me is one of the first Amber Rayne scenes I saw. (The Amber Rayne who is still active, not the blonde Amber Rain who retired in 2005.) The movie was XXX Pinups where she played a gullible young lady who was hired for a lingerie photo shoot. And this being a photo shoot in a porn movie she lets herself be talked into nudity and eventually sex. What makes this scene stand out (two things, actually) is that Amber Rayne has some very good acting skills. Seriously. Second is how well she plays up being innocent. But, as with Taryn Thomas, I was a little dismayed to realize that scenes where Ms. Rayne is playing a demure woman are few and far between. It seems there are more scenes with her inserting baseball bats in her ass than being demure. Not that there’s anything wrong with baseball bats in the ass. I’ll watch Amber Rayne do just about anything. But maybe I’m just reading this wrong. If I had stumbled on the one mild scene that Audrey Hollander did (assuming she ever did a mild scene!) would I be fair in wishing that she wasn’t always so over-the-top? Maybe I should just accept that some models don’t do scenes with a more natural feel to them. So do you have any models you wish would turn down the intensity once in a while? While I’m at it, another addition to the list for me would be Tory Lane. Lauren Phoenix too. I thing that Lauren’s b/b/g scenes outnumber her b/g scenes. She’s too beautiful to be blocked from view by two hairy asses. And just to show how capricious I am with this, one model I wouldn’t put on this list (that I can think of now) is Sasha Grey. Ms. Grey certainly did some high-intensity scenes that a lot of lesser models wouldn’t do but she also did a lot of more ‘normal’ sex scenes. This seems to have turned into more of a rant than a question, but does anyone have other models that they’d like to see in more natural sex scenes? | |

I keep track of all my porn in a relatively simple way; I have a three-column Word document with the first column being the name of the DVD or website, the second column being the names of the female models and the third being the drive where the folder and file is located. This seemed like a good way to track information when I started doing it a decade or more ago because my collection was smaller and I don’t know much about other software that might have been a better choice. The possible problem I have now is that as my collection has grown my Word list has also grown. It is now 2.92 MB in size and 270 pages long. Long ago it gave up trying to point out spelling errors in names that it didn’t recognize. Lately when I try to load the document it sometimes crashes Word but more often just takes a long time to load up. Neither of these is that big a deal (I keep backups too) but I’m wondering if anyone knows if I’ll eventually hit a wall where Word simply won’t be able to handle the document. It’s just a large table and there is only text. There are no pics, graphics or hyperlinks in the document. Can anyone provide some advice? Thanks! | |
