Naming the program "Own The Podium" was a stupid move. The British, and possibly other countries' media as well, had a field day with it. Why didn't they name it: "Strive for excellence" or something like that? In any case, we ended up watching more than we had planned and had a good time. Thank God for CTV because NBC did its usual lousy job of covering the Olympics. And no one has answered my question yet: what's the proper way of determining the standings. :-) | |

Well, despite the fact that I said I wouldn't watch the Olympics I think I'll watch the U.S. - Canada game coming on in a few minutes! :-) Nothing to do with hockey but can someone enlighten me when it comes to the overall standings. In my youth 1st Place was established by how many gold medals a country won. I see in some places it's still done that way: http://www.olympiade-infos.de/olympische...t-page-1/#comment-20 while on this continent our media just take a total count of all the medals and determine first place by that. I kept telling my wife this was wrong and that a gold medal had to count for more than a bronze, that's why I went to a German site to see how other countries do it. So what will be entered into the official Olympic record? Is Canada first, Germany, second and the U.S. third or will this Olympics end up with U.S. first, Germany second and Canada third? I'm not being nationalistic about this, simply curious. | |

The latter is the only "uniform" I like: real everyday street clothes. The most abused and ridiculous looking is the nurses' uniform: those ridiculous, shiny vinyl caps with those oversized, home made red cross badges on them. Arghhh! Eastern Europe especially is infamous for its ridiculous uniforms. Actually, come to think of it, there is one other uniform I do like: a hooker's outfit! :-) | |

Never mind the authorities. It wouldn't work because most of the guys approaching their significant others with a request for anal with an enema bag in one hand and a bottle of pain relievers in the other would get slapped, right after she's done wrecking their computer. :-) | |

I was watching part of the AVN awards the other day and one of the stars was asked "How do you like doing anals?" Her reply: "If you like enemas and dieting 24 hours before a scene and having to take Vicodine" I suppose it's okay!" (the above is paraphrased but is a true reflection of her answer). One of the other major anal queens (Amber Rayne?) jumped in very quickly to counteract that damaging remark: "I love doing anals!" Was she sincere? Who knows. | |

Well, I must say it was brilliantly done, PP. There was indeed no overt sadism in the scene but such a sense of menace that it made me shudder because that's exactly how the Gestapo worked. They were masters of intimidation and psychological terror. I would give Tarantino an A+ for achieving this in his film but what made the scene so great made it so emotionally bad for me. Same as the long scene in the cellar later on. Brilliant, but I didn't have a nerve left after that one! :-) | |

Well, you guys have better nerves and stomachs than I. :-) I gave up on enjoying "Inglourious Basterds" after that very first sadistic scene where the German played cat and mouse with the French farmer. I did watch the rest of the movie but was glad when it was over. This is not an attack on Tarantino and his skill as a film maker, so don't pile on me, just blame my overly sensitive nature when it comes to graphic violence and sadistic mind games. | |

This site couldn't have too many subscribers if the webmaster has the time to play silly (and illegal) games. I've had various webmasters after me in outrage over a review or comment but none of them ever cut me off until my subscription was over. Get a refund from Epoch and then add a new comment, laying it all out, on this particular site's page. I can't see where they could touch you legally just for telling the truth, and TBP can't afford to look like cowards in the eyes of its loyal members if it censors your outrage. | |

In one sentence: Naughty America impresses the hell out of me now! I loved the live show(s)! Normally I go to a site, look at the latest updates and depart. That darn live aspect made me stick around for hours and was highly entertaining. I also found lots of dressing and undressing in the archives of former live shows and am a happy camper. Last time around I accused them of a certain sameness when it came to their scenes and it might still be there but who cares, live is it for me from now on and would make it worth the price of a subscription. Especially with our discount. I have the feeling I am going to keep this one going! Of course, I'll still download or stream all the sexy mature ladies they offer to their subscribers. | |

My main objection to implants is that they look bolted on in most models, a natural breast with the exception of an a-cup (maybe) will sag a bit and not look like a perfect inflated sphere. On top of that, if you look at some of those videos closely you can actually see the bags wrinkle under the skin, or see their outline, if it's a really bad job. Many girls try to cover that by holding on to their breasts as they do a reverse cowboy. It just ain't natural, why not be content with what you've been given .. so, in my case, no to the increased penis size. I don't worry about things like that! :-) | |

I love sweeping generalizations, moonbyrd! :-) Nevertheless I think my thesis, no matter how subjective, holds a certain merit. For instance, there are groupies who would follow a rock band no matter how old or how bad they have become. There are folks who are so smitten with a particular movie star that they would go watch every movie he/she appears in. In my more limited world I'll go see my favorite if he/she is in a Comedy, if he/she performs in a Drama .. forget it. There's no right or wrong to it, simply personal taste. I just don't want to be burdened at the movies with heavy subject matter. If I want drama I have enough of that in real life. :-) Same with Porn. I have a few favorites but because of my taste, and like or dislike of certain actions which shall remain nameless lest I offend anyone, I only download scenes or photo sets of theirs that fall within my favorite niches. One sentence of yours has me baffled: what should the Porn Viewing experience be all about? Wouldn't that depend on who does the viewing? Regards and good to see you in this forum! | |

Just a quick question. I just subscribed again for no other reason but the "live shows" but what's facing me right now is a notice saying: "We will return to our live broadcast in a moment." (That's live with Lauren) I've also tried the other models and all I get are teasers. Last question: how do I get to the archives of the models dressing or undressing? Is there a button I'm ignoring. Excuse my ignorance but I'm brand new at this live business. Forget everything I wrote above. Must have been a temporary glitch because the live show is working fine now and quite entertaining. Also forget about my question re. archives, should have read your original post again before asking. Thanks. Edited on Feb 19, 2010, 11:23am | |

You know, I am starting to understand why photographers get away with publishing such mind numbingly boring sets. Let me hasten to stress: To me! Many of you guys collect by model so anything, anything at all that's new on her site will be downloaded, exciting or not because the goal is to have as many sets of her as possible. In contrast, most of the solo sites you mention above were hardly ever visited by me when I was a member of 21sextury because I collect by niche and would, to this day, not be able to give you most of the names of the stars whose pictures, videos I collect. Basically I collect the scenes and sets I like and ignore the many others by them that I don't. I too have some favorites, of course but am just pointing out the difference when it comes to the methods of collecting. Each of the methods is equally valid and there is no criticism intended. It's just an "AHA!" moment for me because it explains something that was baffling to me before: why put out so many sets of a model that are basically identical except for the first ten pictures or so. If you do collect "names" you would want them all. If my model, on the other hand, doesn't wear enough sexy lingerie or steps outside one of my favorite niches her set/scene gets rejected, pretty face, body and all. Aha, now I get it! :-) Edited on Feb 19, 2010, 09:44am | |

Women have good reason to think so if you look at the success of sites like Brazzers who specialize in fake. There is a strange fascination in America with big boobs. I think they have that to themselves because males in other countries are quite content with natural. At least that has been my experience. | |

Thanks for the tip, FG. Another site I checked out only yesterday in response to someone's comment or review! It sounded tempting but I couldn't get a clear cut idea if the undressing involved lots of sexy lingerie or just three, four pieces of apparel. | |

Thanks a lot for the tip re. Naughty America, I checked out their site only yesterday because they offered me a special price as a former subscriber, and found to my delight that there was a live section, something I had totally ignored first time around. I still have a huge problem with enhanced breasts (same as with Brazzers) so I regretfully passed. But I must say your remarks tempt me to try again! I'd probably end up dwelling exclusively in the live section if the undressing of the girls is a daily event! | |

Couldn't have put it better myself, Drooler! And seeing that the webmaster has to make a living I decided to wait and see what the rest of his subscribers prefer. He should be able to tell by the download figures of a certain set of pictures or video. In the meantime I keep my fingers crossed and hope that most feel as I do. It would be nice to finally subscribe to the ideal site! I'll even allow it some imperfections. :-) | |

Did you see the comment on one of the recent (yesterday's?) sets by someone called Eric?: too many pictures of women fully clothed and not enough nudes. Paraphrased! GASP! If he is not one of the photographers but one of their subscribers I can't see a great change coming. You somehow have to please that segment too. If most of my subscribers weren't interested in the subtleties of a nice, gradual strip I would cater to their taste, it only makes good business sense. That's why I told the webmaster I would make no more comments re. my expectations. One can't please everyone, and he does have a super site he's trying to build, so, let the majority decide there. | |

Okay, it's been talked (typed) to death (especially by me) but I want all my PU friends to get their heads together to find me my ideal site. :-) I am presently subscribing long-term to two Video sites as well as to two other sites on a three months and one month basis, respectively. I have not downloaded more than a handful of files in over a week from all of them combined, making me doubt the wisdom of subscribing to any of these known, to me, sites in the future unless they change dramatically which I doubt. So, here is where I need your help: I need you to come up with the ideal site for me. I have greatly reduced my requirements and expectations over the years so things like age and shaved or not shaved, thin or BBW no longer play a role. Except for "enhanced" breasts. Definitely no fake boobs, ever!!! :-) Here are just a couple or three basic requirements I am looking for: 1) In a picture site I want my models to start fully dressed, which means with underwear the average woman would wear on a daily basis. No going commando, no going bra-less, thongs will be tolerated (just) if there are enough front views. A thin string disappearing between cheeks just doesn't do it for me. The disrobing should be slow so that only the last page of a set would contain full nudity! What's the sense of publishing four pages of torsos and rumps or even whole model nudity. Wouldn't, let's say, ten or maybe twenty pictures do the trick there? When is enough enough if most shots only have very slight differences from each other? 2) DVD sites. Please, a story line in most of the DVD scenes offered. Something that leads gradually up to the action, once again containing a slow disrobing scene (as would be the case in normal relationships) before they get to the main action. I would like to see the sex reduced by at least ten minutes to save me all the fast forwarding. Why have all those twenty minute marathons exhibiting every awkward sexual position possible and even then the male performers have to masturbate themselves to a climax? Does that excite you, honestly? Naughty America makes a bit of an attempt to give a reason for the upcoming tryst, but they are OUT because the lead-in to the action is too short and too obviously contrived. They tend to jump from fully clothed to fully naked on the nearest bed, sofa, desk etc without a transition. Their pre-occupation with big (read enhanced) breasts is also a huge minus. So there you have it, friends. And no, I'm not jaded, just bored with all the scenes that jump right into action from the first minute. You know the routine when it comes to DVDs, model sits on sofa, gets introduced, gets on her knees to be approached from left and right by two stunt cocks already fully erect for some reason. Well, I know the reason but it's not pertinent to the scene. :-) This is followed by twenty minutes of changing positions topped by a very feeble ejaculation because they had to do something beforehand so that they would last. So if in your wanderings you came across any site that even comes close to my hopes .. please let me know! Hopeful and with apologies to those who like things just the way they are. And sorry about venting once again. I know it's a downer but so is spending a couple of hundred dollars on things that don't satisfy. | |

Would you believe that I actually shook Gordie Howe's hand, Denner? :-) Shows my age! My view is that the Olympic Games were meant to be for amateurs. If a less skilled amateur hockey team had to be fielded because all the good players were Pros then, so be it. Medals aren't everything, the "amateur" youth of all continents getting together in friendly competition is. I know, I know ... wild eyed idealism. The whole Olympic ideal has been corrupted because, in the now defunct Soviet Union and its satellites, every athlete became a full time, paid pro because they wanted to prove to the world that their system was the best. That gave Canada and the U.S. the reason and excuse for fielding "dream teams" in varying sports made up of professionals. I understood the reasoning even though I did not like it because it was NOT fair to us at the time that we had to compete against all those East Block Pros, but since athletes are now no longer so heavily sponsored by the State (clearly evident in the diminished medal counts) it is my belief that we should return to the purer model of absolutely no Pros! Just my thoughts. And it'll never happen, I'm sure. At least not in Canada where we can always hope for one medal in Hockey if we leave the present set-up alone. :-) Edited on Feb 17, 2010, 01:55pm | |

We stopped watching the Winter and Summer Olympics about six years ago because the coverage on American and Canadian channels had become too nationalistic. We missed so many events and medal ceremonies, because none of our athletes were involved and therefore weren't covered by our media, that we gave up in disgust. I think the straw that finally broke the camel's back was in track and field (one of our favorites). All we saw was an endless coverage of beach volley ball and similar events because the North American audience was not terribly interested in track and field except, once again, for the events in which their athletes shone and expected to get a medal. I also dislike the inclusion of pros in the games (yes, even the male Canadian Hockey team) and the doping and the inclusion of sports that call for judges who tend to be either prejudiced or corrupt. Sorry for dampening anyone's enthusiasm in connection with the Games but it's the way we feel. :-( | |

Nice little diversion into Spy territory, lk2fireone. BTW, I loved the first Bourne Movie (actually my favorite thriller of all time), despite some of its improbabilities, :-) but hated the sequels because of the hand held camera angle! Every scene was too much into your face and jiggly. As to the RCMP, that's what I meant, I don't give them a thought because I haven`t seen anyone prosecuted for the possession of porn lately. Unless it is illegal, of course, and none of mine is. I don`t think! Ever since the Internet came into being there`s been very little talk about the legality of possessing porn in Canada. With the exception of underage material, of course. | |

No question that no system is fool proof. I forgot to mention that I also do any deleting through CCleaner which will over-write a file three times but am convinced at the same time that any intelligent tekkie could find out about my porn habits if he tried. All the methods I use to protect my privacy are basically meant to protect my stash from the curious eyes of grandchildren and not from the Police or RCMP, they can look all they want. As to the safe approach I can't see where leaving a DVD kicking around the house would guarantee more protection from prying eyes than my method! :-) | |

1. My experience has been that all of the pay sites I subscribed to were squeaky clean when it came to viruses or back door trojans. The shady ones were the free sites where one could pick up one of those beasties easy enough. 2. As to computer history logs, I use Firefox which clears all new cookies, history etc. upon exit. On top of that I use CCleaner which takes care of areas of info storage I might overlook. 3. I use a credit card that is only a credit card in the sense that I can pay for porn, books etc. with it but has only as much credit on it as I put in from my checking account on a monthly basis. No statements are being sent to my home with a card like that. I check through on-line banking to make sure that those with whom I do business are kept honest. My on-line buying has been all positive so far. | |

I had to give up on the transvestiting, though because women's lingerie became indistinguishable from men's underwear, they also gave up wearing dresses in favor of jeans, so in order to dress like a woman I would have had to dress like a man .. which I do already! So there was quite a period of wrenching adjustment for me. At the moment I'm looking for a new kink but haven't found one yet except for corresponding with a bunch of perverts. | |

What gets me about landscape shots (a format both of us love) in general is that most photographers only use them to take pictures of a torso, or the pubic area rather than show the whole person. :-( | |

I never meant to give the impression that the Soviet Union did the fighting in order to make sure we kept our freedom. I am simply stating the fact that without their huge sacrifices (for selfish reasons, no doubt) the war might have taken a different turn or have lasted considerably longer. | |

Can't argue with that, Khan! I'd do the same thing if it was important to my wife. | |

A warm welcome back from me as well, Khan. One question: in your poll did you come across anyone who ignored Valentine's Day altogether? :-) | |

When it comes to WWII I think the Russians played the biggest part in winning it even though the U.K., Canada and other Commonwealth countries, the U.S. etc. played a big part, of course. When it comes to the war in the Pacific I give the Americans full marks even though other nations were involved there as well! The French contribution in comparison to those countries was pathetic. You would have never known it as they swaggered down the main street of my home town during the occupation. Germans better got out of the way of the conquerors! :-) I am nevertheless a Francophile, I just hate their waiters!!! As to the cold war, yes, thanks America (and secondarily NATO). We appreciate it! | |
