Heather Harmon was/is a legend. I had a few of her videos and I recall her other signature move (apart from deep throating, of course) was to take her man's cock deeeeep in her throat just as he was coming. I'd try to participate in the thread more but my list of retired pornstars would be so long it would crash the PU servers. But I will name a few with the caveat that I'm treating this as 'which retired pornstars do you wish had more prolific careers' rather than which pornstar do you miss and would like to see make a comeback. • Taylor Rain – yes, Taylor had a long and prolific career but I’d still like it if she had stuck around for a while longer • Gauge – super cute and fun to watch. She did make a brief comeback and looked great but I still wish she stayed longer her fist time • Inari Vachs – I loved her look. She also made a comeback and looked amazing but I still wish she did more scenes in her first time around. She seemed like such a playful person • Jenna Haze – same as with Taylor Rain… • Maryjane Johnson – not many scenes and only one anal. I loved her look. • Aubrey Addams – I’d prefer if she was more prolific before her enhancements but as opposed as I am to breast implants she didn’t go overboard • Chandler – cute, nasty and red hair • Naudia Nyce – I still watch some of her scenes and Naudia still does it for me • Crystal Ray – tall and skinny… mmmmmmm • Angel Long – tall and skinny again • Teagan Presley – clearly one of the best looking new stars when she debuted • Flick Shagwell – cute and nasty again • Sasha Grey – another prolific star who left too early… • Kat – tiny, cute and nasty. An anal star. • Lexi Diamond – I loved her dark complexion and petite body. Beautiful face too… • Allison Whyte – red hair and freckles. I will never tire of that look • Katie Gold – I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Katie scene that I didn’t like • Kelly Kline – cute, sexy and a little nerdy – a hot combination! • Trinity Post – red hair again. And her ability to take MASSIVE cocks in her ass • Tammi Ann – petite, perky, super sexy and up for anything. Tammi is my Top 10 list of all time • Lexi Belle – if anyone says they got tired of Lexi they’re lying • Lilly (Lily) Banks – I loved her look and her voice too • Allison Pierce – I loved her look and her attitude • Zoe Voss – supermodel looks. Need I say more. • Tanner Mayes – I was the self-proclaimed biggest Tanner fan in the world for a while. While I’d have loved to see hundreds more scenes I know that when she left it was already past when she should have for her own good • Bobbi (Cassidey) – I loved her look and her personality (she had a couple of unscripted Shane’s World scenes that I still watch) • Stacy Carpenter – love at first site in a Jules Jordan scene • Kacey – she came across as innocent but didn’t seem to have the word ‘no’ in her vocabulary • Tiffany Thompson – another star with supermodel looks (and one anal scene too!) • Darcy Tyler – she was older than I usually prefer but I loved her look. Far too few scenes | |

I was never really into heavily tattooed women in porn though I could tolerate some tattoos on stars. I pretty much had to as tattoos are so common on younger women everywhere now. But something clicked when I first saw Bonnie Rotten and I really liked her look so I subscribed to a lot of sites to get her stuff. One site, Burning Angel, was especially good. I'd have to say that for me Bonnie Rotten and Joanna Angel do it for me. | |

^ All good points. I think I've only seen the movie version of Hair once and that was a long time ago, though, as I said, I regularly listen to the soundtrack. I still listen to the Blues Brothers soundtrack too. | |

I utterly detest musicals. Except for one: Hair. I can't explain it but I love it. I recall seeing a professional troupe from NYC perform it a few years ago. Amazing! I occasionally listed to the soundtrack still too. (And in a way I guess you could call The Blues Brothers a musical too so maybe there are two on my list of favourites. | |

The Blair Witch Project seems to get a lot of unwarranted scorn but I think a lot of people forget that it was the first major success for a 'found footage' movie. I've only seen it twice though. Not because I don't like it but because it scares the fucking shit out of me. (On a side note, The Exorcist scares me too. I recall first seeing that in the early 80s and being utterly terrified. But at the time I was a devout Roman Catholic so The Exorcist wasn't a horror movie - it was a documentary. As another aside, several years ago I went to the theatre to see a new 'found footage' movie: Apollo 18. Jesus what a terrible movie. Utter crap and not even in a way that might make it a cult classic. One question haunts me: if the fictitious Apollo 18 was the last mission to the moon then how the hell did someone find the footage?) | |

I may go to an actual theatre once or twice per year. The two most recent movies I saw in the theatre were Rocket Man and Apollo 11. I have an odd (and annoying to some) trait of watching movies I like several times and sometimes many times. Some of the most-watched are quite old, and no, I wasn't alive when they were released or at least I was too young to see them then. Run Silent, Run Deep 1958 this is one of my favourite sub movies. For the time the effects were cutting edge but they look a bit silly now. But the story is great. The Shoes of the Fisherman 1968 this is a polarizing one in that it got terrible reviews and is, admittedly, a terrible movie, though I've likely seen it over 100 times. It's a 'Church procedural' about the election of a new Pope and the chaos he inherits. Godfather 1 and 2 Apollo 13 The Big Lebowski (quite possibly #1 for me) No Country for Old Men (giving Lebowski a run for the top spot) Fargo Hell or High Water Casina Goodfellas Apocalypse Now Das Boot I reserve the right to add to this list as I think of more. | |

For me it was probably the Farrah Fawcett poster. Guys of a certain age will know exactly what I mean. Those younger than 45-ish will probably have no idea who Farrah Fawcett was or why her poster was such a big deal. (Or any poster so that matter.) For those who are interested, here's a link to a photo of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrah_Faw...conic_pinup_1976.jpg It's hard to overstate how big a deal this poster was in 1976. Posters were a big thing then (this pre-dated the internet by more than a generation) but even in a poster-crazed market Farrah's poster broke records by selling 20 million copies. (And for the ladies, she was married to the actor/hunk/bionic man, Lee Majors. They were a Hollywood power couple.) Now if you'll excuse me there are some kids on my lawn that I need to yell at.  | |

This would be the PERFECT solution for me but loadable cards don't seem to exist in Canada. I've check multiple bank sites and they don't seem to have them. I've used pre-paid cards with a set limit but the fees on them are high. Maybe I'll dig around a bit more on the loadable cards. Edit - I did find that the post office here offers a loadable card but the problem with it is the same as pre-paid cards - the fees are high. To even get a card you have to pay $15 and then there is a $3 monthly fee. I bought a pre-paid card a while back to use on a questionable site but changed my mind. I recently checked the balance on it and without using it the balance is mostly depleted. But... if I used the loadable card carefully I could avoid fees by having a balance near zero after every use. The problem with that is figuring out the exchange rate every time.

You're right. While I haven't found any specific sites that cater to the medical niche I usually check out scenes on any sites I join that seem to have a doctor/patient thing going on because those can often be CMNF. Photographer/model scenarios often have some too. | |

It's not my intention to derail this thread but I just wanted to weigh in and say that a favourite niche of mine is one sort of like this but seems to be so rare it isn't even considered a niche. I like clothed male, nude female scenes. Even searching for CMNF comes up dry. Amateur Allure does this quite often but they don't even recognize it as a niche and tout it there. It just happens. Finding scenes where this occurs is just blind luck since it isn't tagged or listed. Like I said, it just happens sometimes. Okay, now let's get back on topic... | |

I’ve had some issues with the proprietary biller that most of the Lansky sites use now, VXNBILL. Those sites are Vixen, Tushy, Tushy Raw, Blacked, Blacked Raw and Deeper.) On multiple occasions I’ve subscribed for a month and cancelled successfully only to have an annual membership applied to my card months later. If only there was a way to lock my card against unwanted charges… This morning I was the intended victim of a phone scam involving my card. A phone call came in from a blocked number and the guy said that he was calling from RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) Visa. Apparently my card had been hacked and there were some suspicious charges appearing. This seemed plausible because this is my porn card and it’s been hacked in the past. The caller wanted some detailed information about that card and about my debit card. The fact that the caller ID was blocked sent up a red flag. Also, since I only use this card for online porn subscriptions I have the limit set at $1000 CDN (that’s as low as they’d go; I’d prefer lower) and the charges they were saying occurred were approximately that amount. But if those charges were in USD then the limit would have been exceeded and the charges denied. I told the guy that I thought he was full of crap and he put me through to his supervisor who was equally full of crap. I ended the call and told them that if they really were RBC I’d call them using their listed number which I promptly did. As I suspected, the call was a scam. I didn’t give any information and my card wasn’t hacked. But… while on hold the recording mentioned that I could ‘lock’ my cards using the website or app and unlock them whenever I needed to use them. Say what?? So I got information on how to do that and it turns out that it’s really easy. So now my porn card is locked and I feel a lot more confident that I can prevent hacking. I’m not going too far out on a limb to say that RBC can’t be the only bank on the planet that allows this. For those who are like me and use a credit card for online porn subscriptions this may be something you want to look into. For those of you who are younger than 50 and reading this, please stop rolling your eyes at me… Technology is hard! (As an aside, I recently rejoined Tushy and VXNBILL rejected my card. That may be because they got tired of me calling them to reverse the unwanted charges. The good news was that I got kicked to Epoch which is a biller I trust and cancelling through them is easy.) | |

I'm not aware of any full scenes but this is a style that Blacked Raw uses in most (if not all) of their videos. The scene setup and even the first part of the sex (usually just oral) is either shot on a smartphone camera or is at least made to look that way. Unfortunately the site doesn't seem to have scene previews available but it might be worth checking out. | |

!) I confess to using tube sites but I won't mention which ones because I really don't like the whole piracy thing. But I can at least try to justify using those sites because I search for scenes in niches I like and I'll occasionally find one I really like and it has a watermark that I can then source. That's happened a lot of times so it takes away some of my guilt over using tube sites. The other way I can find stuff is that I check out any new site that gets listed or reviewed at TBP and PU. Sometimes I get lucky and find stuff in niches I like. More frequently though I don't find those niches but the site is interesting anyway so I join. 2) This question is almost impossible to answer. For most guys doing so would require knowledge of how the male brain is wired. While it may be relatively easy to figure out why I like scenes with slow, sensual oral sex (it's hot!) I could likely never explain to anyone, myself included, why I like scenes with sex on boats. I've certainly never had an experience that would indicate this would be a fetish. It may be that one is a subset of my interest in public sex. But even then, I have no idea where my interest in public sex comes from. So I guess to answer your second question concisely, I have these interests pop up occasionally and they just get added to the 'list.' For me it's almost always a video because that's pretty much all I download. | |

I first 'discovered' Gabby in her scene at Exploited College Girls. I was pleasantly surprised to see her girl-next-door look and attitude coupled with what appears to be quite a sexual appetite. For example, she's doing anal right out of the gate.  Since then, as Freddie said, she's blowing up. She's well on her way to being the next big thing.I'm definitely downloading everything of hers I can get. | |

It's odd how social media sites say they can't do anything about online harassment and foreign attempts to influence democracies but show them a breast and they lose their collective shit and deal with it immediately. But... as the article says, it really shows the power, influence and money of the Evangelical Christian movement in the States. But that shouldn't be a big surprise since a reading of the Gospels on which Christianity are based clearly shows a prophet who is all about power, influence and money...  All sarcasm aside, I'm neither religious nor spiritual but I have no fucking idea how the Evangelical churches have twisted the message of the New Testament into the shit they spew. And to end this rant, it shows the kind of people they are when they brush aside Christian principles to support the most counter-Christian President in history just because he'll give them what they want, namely state control over women's reproductive choices and making sure them faggots can't git married. | |

^ I'm not sure where in Canada you are. I'm on the Atlantic coast and it doesn't feel like spring here either. Last night it occurred to me that it was strange on May 27 to not hear June bugs banging against the windows. It's obviously too cold for the little buggers. And for me to need the seat heat on for my morning commute in late May is pretty rare. | |

As a fellow Canadian I know how important summer is. We have a small travel trailer that we use in area parks and campgrounds. We don't usually go more than a couple of hours away. I also have a relatively remote cottage that I love spending time at to recharge. No actual travel booked though (apart from parks and campgrounds). | |

I seriously doubt your server is big enough for me to spell out all of my favourite niches!  But seriously, I'm assuming that you consider anal to be a category in itself and I understand that, but I mention it because for all of the small sub-niches I have when you anal over top of those it makes them even better! Actually, a niche of anal is probably collecting 'first' anal scenes. I always look for those. Old/young Clothed male/nude female (this is rare and not usually flagged as such) Outdoors Scenes in/around pools or hot tubs Scenes on boats Women wearing ball caps and/or sunglasses Ponytails Little makeup F-on-M Rimming (not sure if this is a niche) Red hair Freckles Large anal insertions Bikinis Stepfather/stepdaughter (might not be a niche) A girl modelling or trying on clothes for her stepfather (rare!) Public Nudity / exhibitionsim Scenes that involve a photoshoot where the model eventually has sex with the photographer Scenes in strip clubs Scenes with Halloween or Christmas costumes Twister games that lead to sex Edging blowjobs Road head / sex in vehicles Body paint Model getting written on with marker in BDSM scene Petite/’skinny’ models Models washing a car I'll update as more come to mind... If you don't ban me for weird niches... | |

All of this sounds great. I've said this many times and I still stand by it - TBP/PU is a great resource and community and it deserves support. As an aside, I know I've been largely absent from here for the past couple of months. I've even let that deadbeat lk2fireone take over the second place here. Please don't read anything into my lack of participation. It isn't a protest or a lack of support for the site or for anyone here. My 'problem' is two-fold. The first is that at soon-to-be 53 my libido is waning a bit. Not a lot, but enough that I'm subscribing to porn less than I used to. The other reason is that I've settled into a groove (not a rut) where I have probably 40 or more sites that I really like and I continually cycle through those. If nothing has changed on a rejoin I won't write another review. It's rare these days that I see a new site that I'm interested in. Though I scan the new site listings at TBP in hopes of finding something that tickles my fancy.(I guess there's a third reason too. The Canadian dollar is taking a shit-kicking these days in relation to the US dollar so my porn budget is seriously curtailed.) The bottom line - I'm far from giving up on you guys. I'm a daily reader here and will post as often as I can. One of these days I'll hit my stride again and regain second place from that imposter lk2fireone. | |

I haven't watched a lot of porn docs recently but the first couple of "After Porn Ends" were pretty good. Most of them tend to get preachy pretty early and stay that way until the end. | |

Great story! I have to confess though, that even in my mid-50s I tend to have the same reaction as the young clerk. I think that comes from two things. First, I still perceive myself as much younger than I am. Second, my parents were almost 40 when I was born so it does seem odd to me when someone in their 50s or 60s still has parents around. | |

^ I've heard how great Times Square was back 30 or 40 years ago. And I've heard others use the same term that it was 'Disney-fied.' Christ... families have Disney Land and Disney World and tons of other stuff. Why can't we have a few blocks of dirty-book stores, peep shows and whatever else? | |

^ That is certainly a nice balance. One positive thing about having a winter is that we don't have a lot of the critters that seem to thrive in warmer climates. Venomous snakes and insects are almost unheard of here. The most dangerous animal we have around here is the moose, and not because it attacks people (it does do that) but mostly because it stands in the middle of roads at night and people run into them. As for poutine, yeah, that's pretty dangerous too! | |

It's all right by me that a porn site has renewed my love of Americans. Thank you ! | |

My wife and I visited NYC for a few days last year. It was my first time there but my bride has been there dozens of times. As a kid her family had friends there and they’d visit every summer. For me, the NYC trip was probably the worst trip I’ve ever been on but it wasn’t NYC’s fault so I won’t write it off as a destination. We bookended a NYC visit on either end of a cruise we took out of NYC. The ‘problem’ was that my bride had booked this and also included her brother and his two kids, then 14 and 17. My wife and I don’t have kids so having two on this trip really changed the dynamic. I know this sounds really selfish (and it is) but the trip was about the kids and what they wanted to do and where we would eat and things like that. For example, I remember we were walking through Little Italy at noon on a Sunday and seeing row and row of restaurants. I was drooling so much I became dehydrated but we couldn’t eat there because the kids wouldn’t ever go to a sit-down restaurant. We ate every meal at the nearest buffet we could find. It just about killed me to be in a city known for it’s food and having to eat crap. (Off topic, but the same thing occurred when we were on the ship – the kids won’t eat in a restaurant with a menu so we ended up eating at the food trough for every meal.) For me, travel is about food. When we travel as a couple or with friends (we have a regular travel couple we go with and they have similar interests) the trip is about food and drink and whatever else we can fit in is secondary. So to be in NYC and not be allowed to experience the food, and to see upscale restaurants on the ship and not be allowed to go in was a problem for me. But as I said, I won’t write off NYC based on that alone. I’ll definitely go back. NYC is relatively close for us too and that’s a plus as I don’t deal well with sitting on a plane for hours on end. Finally, and I know this will be inflammatory and I probably shouldn’t write it, but like many Canadians I’m taking a break from visiting our southern neighbours. Maybe I’m being too soft but as a veteran who served alongside American troops it hurts to have your president and his friends declare Canada to be a national threat to you and impose punishing tariffs. And to make matters even worse, your long relationship with Canada is pushed aside to make friends with Russia and North Korea. If we look back even recently, to September 11, 2001, Canadians stepped up first and helped. When the US closed its airspace out of warranted fear that any inbound plane could be hijacked, Canada said ‘send ‘em here.’ If any of those were hijacked what danger did that pose for us? A plane could be flown into a building in the Financial District of Toronto just as easily as in New York or Washington. And with hundreds of diverted planes there were thousands of stranded passengers. The musical “Come From Away” is about that time when Canadians welcomed stranded people into their homes as if they were family. Canada didn’t have to be asked to participate in taking on the Taliban in Afghanistan – our Prime Minister was on board immediately. Canada did a lot of heavy lifting in that conflict and we took proportionally higher casualties than Americans did. But apparently we’re a threat now. But you know what? If something like 9/11 occurred tomorrow Canadians would respond the same way we did in 2001 regardless of the loon in the White House. Oops… that turned into a rant. Bottom line – I’ll definitely go back to NYC at some point. And this time I’ll gain 20 pounds because of the great food. | |

Your unfortunate experience with a webmaster seems to be part of the overall trend to declaring something we don't like to be 'fake news.' I've read your review and it isn't biased at all. Anything neutral or negative is explained. Your reviews are always written this way. The way I approach reviews is to deal with subjective issues up-front and declare any biases. For me though, these biases are often positive. I'll declare that I really, really like a site (Amateur Allure and Daughter Swap, for example) so that a reader is aware that my personal opinion may colour the review. But I still try to be objective. Both Amateur Allure and Daughter Swap could use some improvements and I can objectively state that as much as I love the porn they make. Bottom line is that you shouldn't lose a minute of sleep over this. I recall back maybe eight or ten years ago I wrote a review of a site that wasn't up-front about it being streaming only. The Terms of Service were misleading at best. The owner/webmaster contacted me and threatened to sue me for mentioning that in my review and scoring it lower because of the streaming-only but also because of the sneaky way he dealt with that. The lawsuit threat didn't worry me. The fact that he was Russian did...  | |

My bride and I visited London for the first time in the summer of 2016. I’m not a huge fan of travel generally but I really enjoyed this trip and we will most definitely go back. It made a difference that we could drive four hours and then have a direct six(ish)-hour flight. I prefer trips that are steeped in history but my wife really prefers to shop and be entertained so we don’t often take trips like the one to London. Weather has been mentioned, and it is certainly variable but we went in late July and it was quite hot and humid. I don’t recall that we got a lot of rain but it would be advisable to pack and carry an umbrella. Or, if it rains in the afternoon just duck into a pub for a beer. The heat and humidity just about killed me but since you’re from New Jersey it will probably seem like home. Another advantage you’ll have is that unlike someone from a rural area, big cities likely don’t intimidate you and you won’t do anything stupid that might make you a target for a mugging or something like that. One thing I’m just remembering is that we found the pub protocols different from what we were used to. We went into a pub to get lunch and waited forever for someone to come to our table to take an order. It turns out that in pubs that don’t cater to tourists that the protocol is to go to the bar to order for yourself. Keep that in mind. In more touristy areas like Windsor table service was available. The underground will be an essential means of transportation for you. I say that because surface transportation around the busy areas will be almost impossible. The Underground is clean and safe but there are so many lines that I found it difficult to use. But then I spent more time looking at the sights than paying attention to where I was. We stayed right in London for the whole trip (with one exception) as there was plenty to see and do. We did a day trip to Windsor by train and I would recommend that. There appear to be different kinds of rail service between London and Windsor so you may want to do some digging. We went to Windsor on an express train that was modern and air conditioned. We came home via an older, un-air-conditioned train that stopped many times on the way back. I think you just need to time it properly. I highly recommend the trip to Windsor. It’s worth it. I recall we bought something called a London Pass or something like that. It gave us free or heavily discounted access to many places and in some instances it gave us access to shorter waiting lines. We did go to the British Museum but that was both hot and crowded the day we went. It either isn’t air conditioned or not adequately so. I got to see the Rosetta Stone and some of the Egyptian artifacts and then gave up, but that’s not so bad as that’s what I wanted to see and I’ll plan to go back next time at a different time of year when it’s cooler and less touristy. (One advantage to being from Atlantic Canada is that I could go there for what the Brits call winter and probably wear shorts.) A highlight for me was Westminster Abbey. Utterly breathtaking! Religion, politics and history are all intertwined in the UK and I can’t imagine a place where this is more obvious than the Abbey. I’ll definitely go back there and probably spend most of a day. St. Paul’s Cathedral is also worth the visit. The Abbey’s history goes back well over a thousand years and is more closely associated with Royalty. St. Paul’s is a bit newer (but still old by North American standards) and definitely worth the visit. The year we went, Buckingham Palace was open to the public but I recall that was a rare occasion. If it is, that’s worth seeing too. Even stopping by to see the building is worth it. I got dragged to Harrod’s and that didn’t go well. I hate being hemmed in by crowds and I hate shopping. The crowd in Harrod’s was something that I was not prepared for. It was wall-to-wall people and VERY difficult to move. If you love crowds and shopping give it a go. If I’m dragged there again I’ll head for a nearby pub while my wife goes shopping. We took a Grey Line bus tour. You’d know the ones – with the open top buses. I wouldn’t do that again but I’m glad we did it. We got to see a lot and got to sit considering it was hot and humid, but the street traffic is so bad the bus moved slowly. I’ve done a similar tour of NYC and NYC looks uncongested compared to London. But it could have been the day and the place. When we book all our arrangements one thing we did was book transportation from the airport. There is a train that runs from the airport and drops you at an Underground station where you can then hop on a subway and get close to your final destination. You can take a cab or walk depending on distance and stamina. We did that because a lot of what we read said that taxis from the airport (Heathrow) were super expensive. So we dragged our luggage to the train (a bit of a hike), then to the subway and eventually to the hotel. On the return trip we were pretty tired. (It was us and another couple.) Rather than walk to the Underground hauling our luggage (it was a couple of blocks) we called a cab for that short part of the trip. The cab driver told us that we were misled, that taxis to and from the airport were not more expensive than the train. He asked what we had paid and he said he could get us to the airport for less than that. So, even though we had already pre-paid the train we were so tired we opted to have him drive us to the airport. We had door-to-door service (as opposed to walking probably a total of a mile otherwise) for the same or less cost. That is seriously worth looking into. Obviously you’re going to filter all of these suggestions in the thread through your own interests. There are other touristy things like the London Eye and the Shard. I wouldn’t do the Eye again but I’m glad I did it. If I had the chance to ride the Eye or spend an additional couple of hours at the Abbey I’d go for the Abbey in a heartbeat. For me the highlights, the things I’ll remember forever even if I don’t get back (and things I’ll visit again if I do) are Westminster Abbey and Windsor. Windsor will take an entire day. I can’t imagine doing it justice in anything less than that. If I think of anything else I’ll post again. | |

Thanks for posting this. I haven't read AVN in a while so this was a reintroduction to the magazine too. | |

Jesus! There is definitely such a thing as being too big. All joking aside, this man has probably never had an amazing blowjob and probably hasn't even had great sex. | |

Congratulations to all, but especially to Shen. I think even the old-timers Exotics4Me and Mbaya would join me in recognizing the stellar review that Shen wrote. | |

I understand the comments around concerns using credit cards. I've been an active online porn buyer for over 20 years and I've had my credit cards hacked maybe five or six times. But it's fair to note that I've had my non-porn card hacked several times as well. Porn sites are probably a bit less reputable than many other sites, but the credit card issue alone isn't enough for me to quit subscribing to sites. I admit that it can be a bit embarrassing to contact another person and explain the problem you're having. I've gotten over the embarrassment of contacting the billers because my guess is that those billers exist to serve the online porn business. I have no personal knowledge of this, but I suspect that very few church-supply sites bill through CC Bill or Epoch. But it is a bit different when I need to contact my bank. I have a low-limit card that I use for porn only so when I need to ask a question about a strange charge that means the other person on the end of the line likely knows that I'm a pervert. But you know what? I don't care any more. Maybe that's just a factor of getting older. But to the original question, I think that paying for porn does have real value. As a collector, I like knowing that I'm supporting growth of porn as a hobby. Yeah, I know most people wouldn't agree with porn being a hobby. I do think how I approach porn is different from a guy who wakes up horny, selects a video on a Tube site and has a wank. But maybe I'm just rationalizing here...  | |

^ I'm with you that I look for discounted sites but occasionally there's a site I see that I want to join and all my better judgement goes out the window. But if I don't know the site or don't know and trust the biller I will plan ahead and use a prepaid card at least. | |

^ I vote with elephant and marcdc1 as well. What had happened last week was unfortunate but there was no bad faith. PU wants to encourage new members and this is a way to do it. I certainly didn't pick up on the possibility that the review in question may have been a shill until after the thread pointed out that possibility. Like my friends above, I'd vote for keeping things as they are. | |

As I posted on the other thread I can see both sides of this argument. You PU staff have my support. Sure, a mistake may have been made but it was made in good faith. I'll stick with PU until one of us can't go on any longer! | |
