Amazing, I never knew that this could be done. Seeing that I'll never have two monitors can you or someone else explain to me how you can "freeze" a data entry page on one monitor while you switch to use the other? | |

Thanks, Toadsith, in my ignorance I had assumed that if two monitors were hooked up to one computer the same picture would show on both. | |

I don't think you're nuts, but why two monitors? I have a graphics card that would allow me to do that but what would be a practical example of the benefit of using two monitors? Thanks. | |

Yep, but I think most Porn Users would look at Hustler Or Penthouse or Playboy (portrait style except for centerfolds) before they look at a weighty coffee table tome! That's the only way I can explain their taste for portrait .. they've been infected in their youth by the above magazines! :-) | |

I fervently agree with the idea of having draws for subscriptions! My experiences with winning the Raffle have not been all that positive, but through no fault of TBP. My own ignorance (I redeemed the gift certificates, not knowing what that implied) and Amazon.com's legal restrictions when it comes to exporting electronic stuff like external hard drives to Canada. Yeah, a subscription would be great! I think another way of attracting new subscribers would be for TBP to get in touch with the webmasters of the generally best-regarded and highly rated sites and have them use the gushing comments of a new user to suggest that they go to PU and repeat them there in a comment that has wider distribution than an email to a webmaster. It would be above board, no shilling if a new user expressed his appreciation of a site on that site first, and then did it more widely in Porn Users. And after he had joined he would see what a fun site (the forum) as well as valuable resource (the reviews and comments) TBP/PU is. Anything not kosher about this approach to recruiting that I don't see at the moment? Unless, of course, the new member were somehow to be rewarded by the site he praises in PU .. then it would be dishonest and could be considered shilling. Just a passing thought, most likely not very well thought out. | |

RB, I could never see the advantage of a swivel type monitor just so I could see portrait type pictures the way they were meant to be seen because, come the next landscape, I have to swivel again, as well as go to my graphics card to tell it to display in landscape .. and then switch back again to portrait using the same procedure. Unless I'm dead wrong about the way things are done. Maybe those swivel monitors act like an iPhone and adjust automatically? Do you have any idea if they do? In any case I still feel every picture should be landscape even though the model might not necessarily be in a prone position. But that's me! :-) | |

I guess I haven't kept up with the latest when it comes to monitors, colm4. And I have a 21.5 wide screen monitor and it isn't huge at all that's exactly why I would advise to stick with a 19" one because vertically there's not enough difference to make it worth the expense if one wants to look at portrait style pictures. | |

I usually look at pics with either Irfanview or Compupic once I've downloaded a set and as long as most are in portrait format I can't see where there would be much of a difference between your 19" and my 21.5" monitor because with the better (larger) pictures you have to reduce them anyway in order to fit your screen. Or scroll, in which case the difference would really be minimal because there's not that much difference in height between a 19" and mine. Plus .. I've heard that CRTs do give a better picture, so save the money for some good subscriptions! :-) | |

Strange that Squirrel should bring up the subject just now because I was just about to start a similar thread after reading some of the latest practically useless reviews of some of the sites. Where are all the wise PU members of yore who would point out gently to a newcomer that their review was far from adequate. A few of you did it to me when I first tried my hand at writing one! :-) I was personally set off by the latest two reviews of "Girls Out West" where the reviewers gave an unrealistically low score because they didn't grasp what the site was all about, as well as providing next to no details. I won't give a "no trust" in connection with this, after all we were all newbies at one time but, to repeat myself, I do wish that more of our users would leave a gentle reply pointing out the deficiencies of a given review. One other point, some do go by the total points given to a site to help them make up their mind on whether to subscribe or not and all those reviews that are really nothing but comments in disguise help drag down the score and might just discourage them to take a closer look. Who knows, maybe your idea, squirrel, putting the best reviews (not by score but by details given) on top might not be a bad one. That would really encourage newbies to get their critical juices flowing. | |

Most of the stuff on my built-in hard drive is HD clips from ITC so it wouldn't take THAT long to go through them all. My external hard drive is a different matter because it contains mainly picture sets and there I will have plenty to do, either by looking and deleting or deciding to keep, or by pruning some of the overly long sets. It will be fun. | |

Is there a way to transfer gift certificates from Amazon.com to Amazon.ca? I tried to cash in my winnings by ordering a new external drive from Amazon.com but kept getting the message: no deliveries to your area (NS Canada), at least not under that category. I can't find a way to get in touch with Amazon directly and was wondering if anyone who has been a winner and who does not live within the borders of the U.S. has found anything that can and will be delivered to another country? | |

Make that 15 years, squirrel. I counted again and came up with around 300 Gigs, I forgot that I had partitioned one of my external hard drives and was only using 175 Gigs for porn, add another 125 Gigs on my main hard drive .. so, 15 years it is .. not really, because you can't keep me away from this place! :-) | |

Sigh! I was afraid of that. That would be a real pain in the butt. With the average set you'd be forever telling your video card to switch any time you came across a landscape type picture. That would be even worse than a reduced, letter boxed "portrait" picture on a wide screen. | |

Someone suggested that to me some time ago because I hate portrait style pictures and would like to see everything in landscape. My present monitor doesn't allow me to do this. I envy you because a monitor that can be flipped would be perfect for me, this way I could tolerate "portrait." What happens if you swivel to "landscape", is there an automatic adjustment or do you have to adjust each picture manually? Probably a dumb question! | |

As far as I am concerned a site can be 99% non-nude and still be very exciting and erotic but there has to be that one percent of complete nudity or I feel cheated. Teasing is fine as long as it leads to a climax of some sort. | |

Supersize me, just in case! I don't need the largest pictures right now but might if I want to keep them and look at them in the future on a bigger monitor or on TV. I had so many sets I had saved that were in 800x600 and even smaller and had to throw many of them away because they didn't look great on my new 22" (actually 21.5") monitor. | |

I let all of my sites expire as well and will not subscribe to any new ones until my currency starts to climb back up to where it was five months ago, equivalent or close to the value of the US Dollar. Everything got 15-20 percent more expensive for me when I make a purchase in the US, and most porn sites are located there. European sites have always been way more expensive than I was prepared to pay, so that leaves out that option. Just like so many others I have tons of material from previous subscriptions I haven't even looked at so I won't have to do without my daily fix. I won't be doing any reviews for a while, though, which is something I love doing! :-( | |

I agree with everything you write. And I have been making noise in a couple of reviews and comments. See Twisty's and ATK Galleria. All the individuality has been photoshopped out of the models. Yet most PUs seem to like that type of picture because the keep rating those sites quite highly. There are folks who can't stand any sort of imperfection. | |

Great, a resurrected thread! It was really nice reading all the replies again. I had forgotten that I participated in this thread. Just wanted to add this: How many prefer books to their movie version? How many times have you been disappointed because you went to see a movie that had been made of a real good book and then left the theater disappointed? Videos leave nothing to the imagination, you're stuck with someone else's taste and what he considers sexy. There's also this, as www put it above: "I don't know, but watching people fuck is boring to me. It was fascinating to me when I was younger, but it bores me to tears nowadays." I agree with www and that's why I prefer pictures, preferably solo with a slow teasing strip. My imagination supplies the rest. I do have videos in my collection but they have to be exceptional for me to keep them. Certainly not the mass produced Gonzo style stuff. | |

Okay, let me ask all those who do NOT use FF: Is there any way of browsing privately without having your browser wipe out your passwords as well? The way it works with me is like this: I have iGoogle set as my home page, keep all my porn sites under the iGoogle bookmarks and keep iGoogle itself inaccessible to others through a master password. This way if others (grandchildren) should use Firefox all they get is the basic iGoogle without all my bookmarks because they would have to sign in first with a password. It doesn't stop them from using my browser and I have the peace of mind of knowing that they won't be able to stray into my areas of interest. :-) Is there any feature in Internet Explorer or Opera that would allow me to duplicate this? | |

I use Firefox almost exclusively because it gives me the greatest degree of privacy. I can set it to delete all cookies and browsing history and temporary internet files after I close the browser and will still keep my passwords for porn sites which are protected by a master password. IE, in private browsing deletes everything and forces you to use a separate program to remember passwords. Netscape 8 was good for privacy as well, so is Sea Monkey if you've never tried it. | |

I don't recall one particular scene but I have somewhat of a lingerie fetish and I hate scenes where the model attempts to cater to my tastes by saying: "Oh, I love my panties so much!" Even if they are made of plain cotton she'll be so enraptured and captivated by them that she will keep stroking the material lovingly while moaning over the thrill of it all! Can you imagine any woman saying that about her panties? Can you imagine talking that way about your briefs/boxers? Or in the case of foot fetishists, how many times have I seen a model suck on her own toes and pretend to get off on it? Would any woman outside of the porn business ever be tempted to do that and enjoy it? Is sucking your own toes turning YOU on? I rest my case! :-) I think both scenarios are silly, not gross, and remind me too vividly that it's all show meant to lure in lovers of a particular niche and by making it so obvious she will ruin any fantasies I might be inclined to have about her, her panties or her feet! :-) | |

One more thing: I don't like the word "pervert" when it comes to human sexuality. We are just now starting to see, because we've become more open about it, how infinitely diverse people's sexual tastes are and as long as they don't stray into illegal (non-consensual) areas then they are not perverts. That's my opinion. If the majority of males were dead set against porn then yes, they would be perverts by definition (pervert - a person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable especially in sexual behavior) but I have yet to meet one who doesn't find Porn acceptable, so rejoice, you're normal. Messmer (realizing that "pervert" is being used tongue-in-cheek in this forum quite frequently) | |

First time I respond to one of my own posts but looking back over the way this thread mutated into a discussion of domination/submission and my preferences I think rephrasing of the original reply would be better: I like BDSM scenes and videos, assuming they are consensual, but spanking is not a category that would turn me on. | |

I just came across a site that forbids the use of download managers and was wondering if the built-in download managers in the various browsers are included. They were also mentioning that queuing is not allowed, but I do that all the time with Firefox and no site has ever complained. Are they talking about applications that "harvest" everything in site? As to "DownThemAll," I got that plug-in some time ago but never knew how to use it so I un-installed. I would like to know the procedure. How is it normally used in sites that permit it? I'm embarrassed about admitting ignorance when it comes to download managers but to me it's always been enough to right click, "save as ..," repeat on the next link etc., while Firefox did the rest. | |

I could have sworn there were more than two Emanuelle movies made with Sylvia Kristel. I remember watching them every Saturday Night for an extended period on one of our French (Quebec) channels who were quite liberal for their times. I had a bit of a problem with the language but understood enough to make the movies enjoyable. | |

I watched "The Story Of O" on one of our late night digital channels. Their picture is usually very good so they must have broadcast a copy of your DVD! :-) I liked the first Emanuelle pictures too but in the meantime, years later, they have become something barely watchable. They, too, are found on late night TV and I've learned to skip watching them, along with all those Vivid Productions (I might have the Production Company wrong) featuring the ubiquitous Randy Spears. Terribly boring, the whole bunch of them. Nothing but uninterrupted sex after the first five minutes, if it takes them that long. What always makes me laugh is the fact that they give you a story line in the TV menu like "frustrated author is trying to cope with writer's block" .. then zoom in on Randy rubbing his head in frustration, then ... seconds later this fake busted blonde babe shows up and takes care of his other frustrations for the rest of the movie! :-) My mouth waters at the thought of a pristine, digitally remastered, widescreen version of "The Story Of O." Kink.com are making videos based on this story but even though (or is it because) they are more graphic they could never approach the erotic tension of the original. | |

Hey, I had forgotten about that one. Poor camera work, blurry and washed out picture, very little actual sex, yet it was more erotic and intense, as you put it, than any of the clips found on VideoBox. A point I was trying to make in another thread. | |

What you said!!! Talking about quality, and that comes close to your subject, come to think of it I think Kink.com has some truly original and quality material. I'm not sure if spanking is among their offerings but I saw some of their trailers and wished at the time that I had the money to subscribe to one of their expensive sites. | |
