Now he's even showing up on 21Sextury - and still, no name. Eastern European porn just doesn't take any interest in identifying their male talent. It is weird. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

In regards to women "comfort zone" is rather expansive, so outside of my comfort zone would basically be male, and yes - I've stepped out of my comfort zone. I like athleticism and performance in both men and women, so I've collected a few videos more for the male performers than the female. I haven't actually searched for homoerotic material of male stars, but I've downloaded some scenes of female stars I wasn't hugely attracted to but instead for the male talent starring. Johnny Sins and James Dean come to mind. Also that ripped model like black dude that is in all of the Eastern European porn these days. No idea what his name is though. Here's a photo.

I agree, Alpha Protocol was a ultimately flawed but still memorable game. I played it on the PC, so the game mechanics weren't too painful, but still annoying. The original Splinter Cell had a similar problem, I swear that game was impossible to beat on X-Box because the aiming was such shite. I noticed your love of the Elder Scrolls series but not a mention of Skyrim. If you haven't got it yet - buy it now. It will destroy your life but you won't mind because you have a new life were you can shout bears off mountains. I'll admit the ending is slightly anti-climactic in my opinion, but the journey is pretty fantastic, and the Thieve's Guild quest-line alone is worth the price of entry.

Stealth games! I love stealth games! Favorites anybody? I loved the first three Splinter Cell games, the fourth had some good parts - some less so. The fifth was so thoroughly booed that I never bothered with it. The Hitman series has been rather fantastic, though the first game was pretty buggy and uneven. I'm waiting with bated breath for the next which will come out in November. The Thief games were very uneven, with significant improvements in the second game, but the third game was by far the best - having removed almost all of the supernatural enemies. Deus Ex was a fantastic game, and good at being played stealthy. Deus Ex 2 and 3 increasingly less so. That said, both were pretty fun. Batman Arkham City has some good stealth elements - though it is a bit of stretch calling it a stealth game. Fun game though. Haven't tried out Arkham Asylum yet. I only played 1 Metal Gear Solid game, way back in the day, because I don't own a game console, but the stealth was pretty fun in those games. Still, Hitman and Splinter Cell have done it best in my opinion. I wish Assassin's Creed would embrace stealth more, but it seems more focused on the free-running (parkour) elements than on being uber stealthy. I liked that Deus Ex let the player decide how they wanted to play - Assassin's Creed should embrace that tactic. I'll have to check out The Sabateur, that is a stealth game I haven't run across  (Velvet Assassin is another I wanted to try, but it got rather mixed reviews.)

Strange, I just looked through their recent updates - and you are right they do seem to be trying to go a bit tamer. However I'd put their current content (as far as visible in their previews) as more along the lines of most of Brazzers' content (Porn Pros used to be more extreme, like Bang Bros), which I'd say is a far cry from the artsy, romantic stuff being churned out of the other sites listed. That said, I'm not a member, so maybe they are just trying to make the previews more exciting. That all said, I'd still like a definition of heartcore, or midcore if preferred.

Ok, so I haven't answered the question in the Original Post, largely because a billion people have asked me about it and my avatar already (that's an exaggeration; it was probably half that) but since everybody is getting in on it, I figured I'd join in as a good neighbor. Avatar and Initial Quote are from Patrick McGoohan's character "#6" in the iconic 60s British television show, "The Prisoner". I chose it to represent my feelings toward censorship and its importance to the porn industry - in short I'm against all censorship. I don't care if you are the ghost of Mother Teresa or the reanimated zombie of Adolf Hitler, I believe free speech should never be censored. To tune that initial quote more towards porn, I made it link to Tom Lehrer's song "Smut", which also deals with censorship peripherally but mainly is just an excellent theme song for porn. The second line is my title awarded from winning Wittyguy's contest for the Best Fictional Pornstar. My suggestion was "Alf". The third line is a reference to Dr. McNinja and a question by which I try to guide my life, simply: What Would Batman Do? "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

What is the strict definition of "heartcore"? By looking at the examples in the original post I'm guessing it is mostly a gentler and more romantic variant porn that features explicit, penetrative sex. That is I guessed that until I noticed Porn Pros Network listed, which is so Gonzo that they use fake penis to practically drown the models in semen - not to mention the five network sites dedicated to bondage and/or dominance. So please do explain what this term means to you. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Usually I find those replays depressing because I know I'm never going to be that fast. On the other hand, I rarely play multiplayer so it doesn't usually matter. So much of multiplayer is athletic skill and reflex, I usually prefer pure tactics designed to infuriate the other players, that's my version of winning. I once sacrificed my entire base in a realtime strategy game just so I could activate my invisible forces within another players base when his units were as far away from his base as possible. I'd put the units in his base prior to him building the protective turrets around his base, he barricaded his base with the enemy already inside. It basically turned into mutually assured destruction, but it was worth it because he was so annoyed by the tactic. I don't play to win, I play to irritate, lol Hence why I'm a fan of the bouncing-betty's in Call of Duty: World at War. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Saints Row 2 is worth the price, it is $15 on Steam right now, though you might be able to get it cheaper if you wait for a sale. I actually liked the storyline better than Saints Row 3 and while the graphics aren't as good, it is pretty damn fun anyways - just as crazy and hilarious. If you liked 3 you'll probably like 2. Gameplay is nearly identical and there aren't any annoying zombies (just friendly ones). "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Yeah, that was a bit of a shock. I wasn't a huge fan, but he definitely made some popular culture classics. Plus I'd have totally paid to see Top Gun 2. Maybe his brother will finish it.

haha, I think that is the first time I've been likened to a Bond villain, but I'll take it
I may have gotten carried away with the Hollywood similes, but my point was simply this: Expecting realistic and natural behavior in porn is going to leave one with dreams torn asunder by the tastes and desires of the teeming masses. Most porn is designed to make it easy for the viewer to see genitalia and the positions that shed light on areas where the sun doesn't typically shine tend to be a might bit uncomfortable. I suppose that's why the performers are being paid. A few sites have given female porn stars a camera and asked them to masturbate in private. The results are very different from mainstream porn, mainly, there is a lot less moving around and certainly no instances of the position you described, at least not in what I have seen. Two sites that I know have this product are Her Bedroom Window and abbywinters (the latter puts this content in their "Intimate Moments" category). The videos tend to consist of women sitting or lying on their back masturbating by hand or with a vibrating implement and that position is held for about 10 to 20 minutes with occasional breaks to adjust a pillow or other cushioning devices. Most viewers want more acrobatics in their porn than that and hence it is pretty damn rare. If I were a betting man, and I'm decidedly not as the house always wins, I would bet that porn will always tend toward the spectacle even when we get life-size interactive holographic images projected into our living rooms. Oh yes, I believe the "Holodeck" will one day become a reality. So, still no cigar? Eh? Eh? In other news, ever run across the Freud's unedited quote?
Also:
Aww, thanks! No need for the nice comments, but I can't say they aren't appreciated And props back to you for bringing up a variation on the topic that I haven't seen discussed before. Granted my commentary more falls into the meta topic addressed in your original post, but anything that acts as a catalyst for discussion is very appreciated!

Nor does Chow Yun-fat order a coffee while flying through the air in slow motion so he can twist mid jump and shoot 103 men with two nickel-plated pistols while a flock of doves flies off in the background. And yet, I'd still go see a new John Woo movie entitled "Office Target" featuring such a scene. I've enjoyed many a ridiculous extravaganza like most of John Woo's films. I also enjoyed "Italian for Beginners" (2000) which follows the tenets of Dogme 95, i.e. no special effects, even non-environmental background music. So in regards to awkward poses in porn, simply put: It. Is. Porn. Some porn will be closer to reality but most will be a bit ridiculous because people are expecting a bit of spectacle. In that way porn is no different than the normal movie biz. "Italian for Beginners" grossed $4.4 million in the US market, while Woo's "Face/Off" (1997) grossed $112.2 million in the US market. Spectacle tends to be more profitable. Plus, it can sometimes be really entertaining. Not always though, "Paycheck" (2003) really sucked. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

21Sextury.com currently has 960 posts in the "backstage" category. This ranges from video to simply candid photos, depending on the shoot. Most of the videos range from 10 to 20 minutes in length and frequently the photos are in the 100+ range. Most of the models are Eastern European on their sites, but many speak English, so the videos can still be rather interesting - and almost always pretty funny in a "slice-of-life" kind of way.

The awkward factor on Cam sessions can be extremely high, much like the price, but in my (all be it limited) experience, most Cam models simply ignore guys that are aggressively offensive and instead respond to the guys that appear to actually be shopping or are at least asking genuine questions. Even if the question is a simple courtesy question like "How are you today?" I'd say most of the models are fans of the hard sell, trying to get you to put down money as quickly as possible, but occasionally you run across models that are bored and just want to chat - well they are almost all bored, but only some want to chat. That can be interesting and amusing as most of the models are from foreign countries and you can end up in some entertaining discussions. That said, I've never seen a model phased by the crazy shit people write and usually for every guy that calls them ugly or what-have-you, there are ten guys telling them they are beautiful. In short, I think they look at 99% of the comments as full of complete bull-shit and try not to let anything ruin their day. A shitty job is a shitty job, be it stripping naked on your bed in front of a laptop displaying every disturbing comment strangers type about you, or getting yelled at by a large, spitting fat man with bad breath about how you ruined his day because there was lettuce on his quadruple bacon cheeseburger.

I personally would say that when running on a Mac, Chrome and Safari are pretty similar. Chrome I believe now has more extensions than Safari, but Macs don't tend to run into the same sort of problems that PCs do - they have their own unique set. On PCs Chrome is by far and above the fastest internet browser. It now has hundreds of extensions, from normal things like download accelerators and password managers to stranger things like automated full-screen Facebook image previewing. It is extremely secure because it isolates the programs running on webpages so they don't get access to your computer, and it is extremely user friendly. If you think Chrome should have a feature, it probably already has it. It is also being constantly updated. Google Chrome debuted in 2006, it is already on Version 21, and most versions have dozens (if not more) minor updates. Hence the current version I'm running is: 21.0.1180.60 Google actually wrote and drew a comic book to explain why Chrome was so awesome and it can explain much of the origins and the unique programming core of Chrome: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/big_00.html "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

If the CC Processing goes through, it shouldn't matter what IP you log-in through. Otherwise they'd be shutting your account down every time you log-in from a hotel or at work (nobody EVER does that). I know I've logged into to sites from dozens of different IP addresses without problems - they just don't want simultaneous log-ins. If they are smart enough to simply track the country of origin rather than the specific IP, then you might have an issue. However, if I'm right and it won't matter where you are logging-in from once you have purchased the account, then you could only use the VPN only for CC purchases in which case it would be very unlikely you'd burn through their 500MB limit in one month. What the site is counting on is for people in China or other countries where their own government is restricting access and so all traffic must go through the VPN. Youtube can burn through 500MBs in seconds. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Awesome variation on my username, lol! I'm picturing a Victorian Steam-Punk Craftsman working away in old workshop with forge heating up the room while he constructstoads out of gears and leather. The final product ends up looking and behaving just like a toad with sole exception of the faint ticking sound emanating from it.
As I said earlier, "dirty talk" means something different to everyone. Dana may be just your kind of vocal master, she is definitely a recommended performer with enthusiasm, skill and intelligence. Bobbi Starr is another in that category. (Frankly, women that get hired frequently by Kink.com often seem to be more enthusiastic and intelligent, often a good place to find good performers.) So I wouldn't give up on Dana right away. I was just trying to illustrate that "Dirty Talk" is really a spectrum rather than an binary skill set. Like deep-throat versus flexibility; you either can or cannot deep-throat, despite as evidenced by some stars that the industry might try to pass off as possessing that skill. Flexibility has a wide range. I personally wouldn't describe someone as flexible unless they can do a groin-to-the-floor split, but for others simply putting one's feet behind one's head fits the category. Dana DeArmond by my definition isn't on the extreme end of the Dirty Talking Spectrum (DTS) but certainly more so than your average joe, while Marie Luv is. Good luck with your quest!

Interesting, I hadn't really thought about the fact that she'd been absent for awhile. She was quite a favorite on Kink's sites and always seemed to be one of the more intelligent and skilled stars in the BTS videos and such.

Someone had to say it. 
In this instance, as in most instances of boob jobs, it was a bad idea. The only instances that it makes sense to me are after mastectomies or if the person grew up in a malnutrition scenario and then ended up with the skin necessary for large breasts but without the fat that should be there - aka "flapjacks". Otherwise, workout and embrace the body you've got. Working out the pectoral muscles will do more for most women than any reasonably priced boob job. I'm not talking steroidal muscle building, just simply building enough muscle to lift what is already there a bit. Learned that little factoid from a youtube comedian who is a professional Go-Go dancer (and part time video blogger as well). "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Good call. yes - Defragmenting is not needed, but the Page File is still a necessity in Windows 7. So you can probably fill up an SSD a bit more than a traditional disc HDD. The short lifespan and notorious DOA issues are another problem with SSDs, but presumably the latter is getting less and less frequent. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Many Indian women are very beautiful, but it is an extremely small genre currently. Since there is still a huge amount of controversy stirred up whenever a movie star is caught kissing in public, I'm doubtful there will be any quality porn coming out of India anytime soon. For porn to become good, it needs to not be burdened by the label of illegality. I'd love to see some big Bollywood style productions done up with an eye for the pornographic, but unless somebody in Europe or American sets out to do it, I don't think we'll be seeing it for years. Perhaps the government will start turning a blind eye to it and embracing its popularity as China has done (China's producing porn in big budget 3D now despite its official illegality) - but I personally haven't seen indication that this might happen in India. signexpo, being that you are from India, what is your feeling about the general attitudes toward sexuality and porn now? Is it loosening up? Have you found any Indian sites producing good quality porn, even if only the photographic softcore variety like MET-Art? I can usually only find a few good solo girls from the US - the sites out of India that I've found usually look like they are comprised of basically home movies and the lighting and performers are usually not all that attractive.

10 GB per game is getting pretty common; for example Skyrim weighs in at near 13 GB. Even a somewhat older game like Call of Duty: World at War is 8 GB. Then you have to account for downloadable content, how big the save files are, mods, et cetera. Still, 256 GB is probably plenty for most casual gamers, but SSDs that size are at least $100 more, usually even more for the fastest drives. My point was if you are a very casual gamer, 128 GB is fine. If you are a slightly less casual gamer then 256 GB would probably do you just fine. A true gamer will probably want several dedicated SSD drives for their games. I used to be very into gaming but I consider myself quite the casual gamer these days and I have something like 20 games sitting around on the rig. It just isn't that hard to eat up space with games. Don't forget that you can't fill your drive up to the brim and have it work fast. You want plenty of free space to make it easy to defragment and also have lots of room for the OS's page file. 20% free space is good rule of thumb. A rule I frequently ignore and hence end up with slow-ass boot times. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Large SSD drives are certainly important only for Gamers, but a small one for the OS and frequently used programs can be quite an improvement for one's quality of life. A hundred gigs will usually be plenty of room for the OS and most users normal programs, even with room for one or two games. My own rig has enough RAM and a fast enough processor to kill most computers out there - but it has standard 7200RPM HDDs, so its best boot time was in the 50 second range. Now after a year of use, it is closer to 2 minutes. A coworker's work rig, powerful but not impressive, is running an SSD, his boot time is 10 seconds, even to this day. For my father's laptop I found one with an SSD: it loads MS Word nearly instantly. Google Chrome it loads seemingly faster than instantly. I wouldn't put porn on an SSD until Cybertoad's prediction of cheap Chinese drives flooding the market, but for the system drive it would be foolish not too. And I wouldn't bother with a hybrid drive, get the real thing. Maybe a hybrid would be good for porn, but you want the extra speed for the OS. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

A few generations ago Chrome started allowing Extensions, that means they now have probably 100+ password extensions that will do exactly that and more. "LastPass" seems to be the popular one. And to all: Stop using Firefox, it is a dead browser. I loved it in its heyday, but those days are long gone. Chrome and Safari are far superior. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Yup, Veronica Avluv is a talented performer, I also like the fact that despite her enhanced bosom, she has a very classic look about her - I guess it is her somewhat early 60's dress/hair style and that combined with her traditional (non-porn) modeling background. Brazzers has at least 13 scenes with her. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Wow - I'm sorry I missed the boat on this grammatical festival! Not that I could contribute a lot as my school literally cut grammar out of the curriculum the year before I would have been required to take it. I suppose the decision was just foreshadowing (foretelling, foreboding, forecasting, foredeeming, forefathering?, forefeeling, foreglancing, foregoing, foreholding... I'm out.) the extent to which my generation would distort and abuse the English language through Texting and Twitter. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

No idea if it is any good, but I hunted around TBP and found this site: Jyske Piger.dk It says it is Danish amateurs - but I wouldn't swear by it. Who knows? "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

I'm familiar with all of the sites you've listed, but I can point out that Brazzers has the Pornstar Punishment series which features quite a bit of aggressive dirty talk. I'm always a bit vague on the definition of "dirty talk" as it seems to mean something a little different for each person. You mentioned Dana DeArmond, she is one of my favorite performers no doubt, but she wouldn't have popped to my mind as a person who partakes in dirty talk, except that she is quite verbal I suppose. Marie Luv, on the other hand, talks so aggressively and vulgarly that it borders on the edge of distracting - so she instantly popped into mind. Lily Thai, known mostly for her fantastic nipples, is actually extremely verbal and often improvises the funniest lines. Granted she has taken a rather long hiatus and is only just returning to the scene now (with new, unnecessary enhanced boobs and lots of interesting ink). Then there is the Queen of articulate verbal commentary: Nina Hartley. Her razor sharp mind always shines through in her scenes. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I just finally got around to checking in on the forum, I was away on vacation for a couple weeks and have been busy catching up with things at home. Sorry to hear about your job situation Cybertoad but I'm glad to hear things are improving! This economy really blows, I hope we are heading for steady improvement, even if it must be slow.

Thank you, kind Canadian gentlemen, happy 4th of July indeed! And on behalf of my American brethren, apologies for invading you guys all those times, it really wasn't very neighborly. Anyway, in the case of the Battle of Ogdensburg, you kicked our arses quite heartily anyway. It was a firm reminder of why one shouldn't start a battle drunk. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Maybe he is using a 4K Digital Cinema Projector? I mean, those things have a native resolution of 4096 x 2160 and they can project an image over 100 feet wide. Of course, they also cost about 75,000 USD... "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Another good point, this is what I get for writing a reply in a few minutes and not reading it over before posting
I have a 1080p enabled monitor and I frequently download 720p instead of 1080p because the extra resolution doesn't equate to extra clarity as many sites are using crappy HD cameras. While technically recording 1080p, they are somewhat blurry, so there is pretty much no loss with the 720p and I'm saving a lot of space. If you are a torrent freak in regards to posted hollywood videos (bad yes, not an endorsement) I've noticed that people don't want to upload 9 GB 1080p files, but they haven't any issue uploading 720p files at 4 GB - which means they look a lot better than the 4 GB 1080p files. Video compression can be pretty freaking odd that way.
Frankly this applies to video as well. So many videos end up having a bizarre yellowish hue due to improper white balance correction. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |||

The more technical info can get tricky at times. For example, determining the video quality on a streaming site can be very time consuming and usually isn't worth doing. The first thing I'd recommend doing, is getting the program VLC Player, it is an open-source freeware video player that can play any format except Blu-Ray. When you are watching a video in VLC Player you can press CTRL+J and it will display the codec information, giving you the resolution, bit rate and more. The reason a high bit rate is important is it tells you how much compression was used when encoding the video. Basically, when a video is recorded, it is usually recorded in a way to save as much visual information as possible - this makes for enormous files, especially if the camera is capable of recording in High Definition. So in post-production, after the video has been edited and music and logos or whatever has been added, it needs to be compressed so that people aren't downloading 100 GB per movie. That size isn't an exaggeration. So, what Bitrate tells us is how many bits of information is being used per frame of video. A high resolution video with a bitrate of 1000 kb/s is going to look a lot worse than a video that uses 3000 kb/s. This is because when it is using less information to describe each frame, it has to start approximating the image. So that gentle gradient seen in the dark shadow gets turned into one dark gray block. You can easily see low bitrates in high movement scenarios - one of the hardest things for video to show is water because everything in it is moving, it ends up looking very blocky when it is encoded with very high compression. The second thing, HD is that HD formats measure the vertical lines in an image. So 1080p means 1,080 vertical lines, or 1920x1080 resolution. 720p is 1280x720. These are both considered HD and both are widescreen. If you see 480p, that can be either widescreen or fullscreen, but in either case, it still only has 480 vertical lines. If you want to explore farther, I'd recommend VideoHelp.com - as they have great forums. Also the great wikipedia "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

I think everybody knows that the download speed rating is a YMMV type situation, but it can allude to the speeds that are possible. For example, if you are usually able to download at 1.1 MB/s (using a download accelerator) and with a site you are only able to pull 600 KB/s, that is a major difference and should really be noted. If the site gives you your standard 1.1 MB/s, I'd would recommend noting that this is as fast as you've gotten from any site. That would indicate the site is probably capable of delivering the content even faster than that. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

If a site has guaranteed updates, even if they are reasonably infrequent like twice a month, and the monthly cost isn't fiendishly high (aka below $30 a month), then I frequently stay with a site for at least 3 months, usually much longer. If a site doesn't guarantee its updates, I'd probably just go in, rip what I want and leave. So there a non-recurring payment would be appreciated. Personally, regular updates paired with streaming video (with a download option) and a low monthly fee will keep me a member for quite some time. I still haven't been able to make myself leave 21 Sextury because their price is so low and they update every day. It has been well over a year. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Yes, God yes, the extended man pumping needs to be done away with. If the male performer is having trouble finishing without using his own digital techniques, at least trim the scene down in post so we don't have to watch him wring the one-eyed wonder weasel in front of a catatonic model. As much as I understand the facial fetish, I think finishing inside the female's mouth is a risk worth taking by allowing the women to finish their male costar's performance (even a hand job is better than 5 minutes of male centered masturbation). It was actually a pretty common scene back in the 70s and 80s, but then facials moved out of the fetish arena and into such a commonality that it allowed the creation of the Porn Spoiler. ::sigh:: What happened to all the porn stars that wanted to be actors? Lets get some porn dramas and rom-coms and buddy-movies and more! Like Hollywood, Porn Valley needs to remember it can be creative and come up with original plots. Not every feature needs to be a plug 'n play parody. They need to realize that porn viewers are willing to watch a performer more than once if the movies are different each time!

Off the top of my head, only three specific forms of play represented in porn do I have aversion to: Scat play, Blood play, Needle play. Generally curiosity will make me at least glance at nearly anything else. I'm sure there are probably other exceptions, but nothing immediately comes to mind. There are certainly mountains of fetishes I don't collect, but that doesn't mean I don't take a peak now and again when an unusual one pops up. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I always forget that the forum wasn't around from the beginning. I know I stalked the site for quite a while before deciding to join.
