My pleasure  I know the 1080p high resolution files are about 1200MB, but they also offer 720p and 540p, so my guess is the 540p files are around 200-300MB. That said, the HD quality is very nice, so I personally think the extra download time is worth it.

I've had experience with Tainster both after it switched to this current format and before when it was called OrgyMax. The tour basically IS the members area, so if you find the tour confusing, then you'll find the members area confusing. I actually commend them for this move, for the old OrgyMax site was quite a nuisance to navigate. This site is much better and really not too cumbersome in my opinion. It is hardly the most elegant solution, but at least they put some thought into it. Now Fully Clothed Sex and Fully Clothed Pissing is sort of like the Crown Victoria versus the Mercury Grand Marquis. Same car, extra features. They essentially shoot one scene and edit it into two different movies. Basically the performers only piss at the very end of the scene so they can edit that out. I recommend instead their sister site: Pissing In Action - as the pissing content is throughout the scene and much more elaborate. Of course, these sites are very Three Musketeer, you join one, you join all. So it doesn't really matter. They produce some of the only Satin Clothing hardcore porn on the market and are one of the earliest companies to specialize in the CFNM genre. The Drunken Sex Orgy and Party Hardcore videos can be very variable in quality - especially the latter as it all depends on how many hot girls actually showed up (since they genuinely are off-the-street amateurs) and how willing they are to have sex in front of the camera. I believe they through a few ringers in the mix and I know they've recently added a female announcer to give the girls with lesbian tendencies someone to play with, which is a nice touch. In general, across all of their sites, they tend to find a formula that works and then stick with it, so if you like their formula you'll be very pleased. Just don't go looking for a massive amount of variability other than different faces on the girls. Also, I think they are shooting in HD now - so that's a plus. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Welcome back! Cruise ships are a good opportunity to get caught up on one's reading, but suck for porn, no doubt. Course, they can be great for people watching, so it evens out a bit... "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Hmmm... like asking me my favorite traditional movie, this is very difficult. I'll write down some memorable favorites that quickly come to mind. (Not necessarily the best, but certainly worth a look.) Lesbian: Debi Diamond, Diva, and Misty Rain in "Michael Ninn's Sex" (1994) This threesome lesbian scene really stuck in my memory for years. Partially because it was an early introduction to fetish wear (they were all outfitted in latex) and anal beads, but also because it was so well filmed. VideoBox happens to host this scene. Male Acting Performance: Evan Stone in Antonio Passolini's "Cap'n Mongo's Porno Playhouse" (2001) I was introduced to this truly bizarre and spectacular film because my brother dared me to rent as many midget films as I could from XRent. While Bridget Powerz (aka Bridget the Midget) is technically in the film, she has a non-sex role and provides an excellent performance to what I would consider some kind of porn masterpiece theater. Despite having an all star cast with the likes of Randy Spears, Joel Lawrence, Lee Stone, and Mark Davis, the stand out performance was without a doubt, Mr. Evan Stone. He plays the lovable "Fucko the Clown", a depressed, dirty, alcoholic clown that "can't even get a job in a children's burn ward". The movie as a whole is presented as a strange, pornographic children's show and Fucko is sort of their mascot - even to the point of having his own very singable theme song. My brother, an elementary school teacher, has accidentally found himself humming the song at school, thankfully he didn't utter the words. If you watch all of that linked YouTube video, you will see the thoroughness with which Stone embraced and embodied his character, but he managed to take it even further. The scene ends up with him partaking in a threesome with the two women featured at the end of that clip - what makes his performance outstanding is that Evan Stone as Fucko the Clown stays in character for the entire scene. He even goes so far as to ad-lib lines about the girls licking off the three-days of ball sweat and similar hilarious/disturbing commentary. SkinVideo hosts the complete, uncensored scene on their VOD site. Classic Movie: "Insatiable" (1980) This Marilyn Chambers classic is by far and above the absolute best pornographic film I've ever seen. This is not because it has the absolute finest acting or the best sexual performances, though it excels in both departments, but it succeeds where so many other films of its nature fail. This film manages to be written and cut in such a way that it is highly watchable as a film and yet the film would not be as good without its sex scenes and nor would its sex scenes be as good without the surrounding film. It is the only time I've found a perfectly symbiotic relationship between the sex and the rest of the film. It doesn't hurt that Chambers was in her prime and the production values were absolutely fantastic. Game Link has the full film online for streaming. Anal: Jenny, Katja Love, Nacho Vidal, Rocco Siffredi in "Rocco's True Anal Stories #11" (2000) Partially this scene is spectacular because Rocco and Nacho are quite the dynamic duo, partially its because Katja Love performs this scene with her head completely shaven and takes both cumshots on her bare scalp, but largely this scene is magnificent because Rocco utters the calming words "Don't worry, it'll fit." in his smooth Italian accent while he proceeds to shove his member into the anus of a decidedly nervous looking Jenny. Also, Rocco, as he often does, punctuates various actions throughout the scene with the phrase "nasty, nasty" and continues to remind us what it is to be Italian. Katja is a star performer and Jenny tries her best to keep up, but it is basically a memorable performance because of the personality and ridiculousness of it all. Adult DVD Empire has the scene posted for streaming. Seduction: Seduction scenarios never seem to work for me; they always come across as stilted and a bit ridiculous. I prefer scenes where both parties act like they are rather into the idea of sex and what little convincing that is needed is mainly left to the logistics of their environment (oh dear, we are at work!). I think the inevitability of the scenes weighs on the performers and they have trouble pretending they need to be seduced when impending sex scene is already playing out in their heads. That said, there is one man that really took the porn industry's most cliched seduction scenarios and pushed them to their logical extreme, and he did it with the line: "You wanna be a model, don't you?" That man is Max Hardcore. He seduced thin, freakishly makeup-ed women in school-girl stripper wear while the women pranced, preened, wielded lollipops, adopted child-like mannerisms and stared at the camera with their best doe-eyes. It was surreal and fascinating - he took Porn Valley's reality-is-fantasy and made his movies meta-fantasies, it was pornography for the pornographer. Many have emulated him, but most I don't think really understood the bizarre satire within his work and so they never really captured the same spirit his work possessed. The extreme nature of his work made him an easy target for the government and Florida took advantage of that to try and convict him for trafficking obscene content through the mail within their state. He served 3 years. I doubt we'll see new work from him because of this, but we'll forever have his body of work produced before. Most, if not all, of his DVDs are available for streaming on Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Nope, I think you are pretty spot on. Degradation of women is pretty in-vogue in mainstream porn right now. Consequently, that doesn't really aid pornographic performers in earning respect. In fact, a lot of the performers that have earned a bit of respect outside the industry predate that shift in style - Nina Hartley for example. I presume that there will be another shift soon and the mainstream style will change again, hopefully toward something less focused on degradation. That is not to say that degradation porn will disappear completely, but that is the point of labeling things fetishes. With the rise of the internet, now every fetish has its voice.

I think I understand the sentiment that is behind this topic post as far as: When is a pornstar's performance too exaggerated (in contrast to what their off-camera sex might be)? Ironically, I would say that the overly "intense" performers are often acting less than the performers that would be described as overly "passive". Being a bit of a fan of behind-the-scenes footage, I've noticed that the freakier and crazy intense performers frequently have difficulty turning that behaviour off. You'll often see performers doing the classic moaning and changing through specific positions and when the director or camera man makes a comment or even something as minimally distracting as hair falling off an ear, the emotive behavior stops to such a degree that you'd think they are doing a mindless task like driving. In the specific case of Amber Rayne, I know that her sex life off camera is actually stranger than that which is on camera. She is also an extremely high energy person complete with rapid speech and sort of bounce-off-the-walls gesticulation. She has always come across as intelligent and opinionated. She is a professional with 7 years under her belt now, so perhaps her earliest performances were more demure due to direction and nervousness - but I don't believe she is inclined toward that work. She seems to be proud to (and to use the popular phrase here) "let [her] freak flag fly" (I'm quoting pop culture, not Rayne herself). I recall she was one of the earliest and biggest proponents of pissing scenes when Kink.com tried out Pissing.com. As it turned out, that fetish wasn't as profit making as they hoped, but Rayne said she'd already engaged in piss-play at home and was quite excited to perform it on camera. Granted I'm not in the industry, but my personal observations and theory is that the performers that are inclined to the more extreme sexual behaviour and those who provide very intense performances are more naturally inclined to toward that behavior on stage and at home. Most of the porn starlets are in the business for less than a year - they make some cash and they move on. The veterans that continue performing fetish work, I think they tend to honestly be into it. Are they performing? Sure. They are paying attention to the camera, to the lighting, to the director, et cetera. However, I think they are genuinely trying to have a good time, keep work fun, and get a bit lost into the scene. Especially in the BDSM arena, a lot of performers talk about the scenes as a great venue for emotional release - a place to get something they can't get at home and get paid for it to boot. So most of my favorite pornstars fall into the category of intense. Frankly, I'd say my absolute favorites fall into a strange category I'd label as "Dominating Masochist" - as in, they enjoy sexually submissive positions and pain-play and are more than happy to order their partner to perform various actions in those categories. Amber Rayne has fulfilled that role many times (as well as normal Master or Slave roles too). Sometimes I'm drawn to amateur home video porn because you tend to get a lot less acting and performers worrying about the state of their hair, but as that is less available and the quality is usually atrocious I seek the intense performers for the same reason. Marilyn Chambers, Naomi Russell, Dana DeArmond, Bobbi Starr, Marie Luv, Jayna Oso, Rebecca Lord, Lily Thai, McKenzie Lee, Veronica Avluv, Franceska Jaimes, and on and on. They all tend to really get into their scenes and push the action to a place that seems to get them off. They each have different styles, but they all seem to get a bit lost in the moment, forget about the camera and simply lose themselves to the sex between them and their partner(s). Perhaps this is my own naïve viewpoint. It is certainly just theory based on my own and all-be-it biased observation, but it seems to explain the behind-the-scenes behaviours I've witnessed.

Companies do come and go, and yes, the author may have bought into the plight of the industry in a bigger way than reality may actually be. I guess I was focused more on the mainstream attention and that we may finally be seeing the death of DVDs that Netflix has been predicting and with it, many porn studios may go the way of the dinosaurs. Nostalgia gets the better of us porn fanatics, so we get sad as old studios that we are familiar with disappear, but in the end you are probably correct that the strong will survive and the industry may be better for it. It will interesting to see what porn is like 20 years from now after DVDs are fully dead and buried and the internet is hitting its 50th birthday (it turned 30 last March).

If you are using a webmail service like Yahoo! mail or similar, check the advanced options. You frequently can boost the aggressiveness of the spam filtering engine. If not, you could try shutting down your email address for a few days - this will bounce the spam email back and may cause you to be automatically deleted, or you could use a email program that can fake a bounce-back to attempt the same effect. I know Thunderbird is capable of this feat. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Noting the not too thinly veiled sarcasm in this comment, I'll point out that yes, many performers do and do so legally (unlike the linked escort thread). The perfectly legal Moonlite Bunny Ranch just outside of Carson City, Nevada currently advertises 74 pornstars offering prostitution services on their website. They also have over 400 other "bunnies" signed up with them and at least 40 on site 24-7-356. Here is their list of pornstars. I was rather impressed to see they have Jenna Brooks associated with them. I say associated as all of the girls are free-agents with their own prices and agreements with the customers; the ranch works as a middle-man essentially. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Yep, we do bring up the anti-tube site comment every 6-months or so, but it isn't as frequent that it is actually featured in a main-stream news outlet. Hence the creation of this thread. I agree, the vast majority of piracy is viewed/downloaded by viewers who aren't going to pay for it anyway - hence my original comment. However, there may be a larger segment that would have payed for it if it weren't readily available because seeing it for free eases the moral turmoil they are wrestling with by watch porn at all. The theory (and it is pretty clearly a theory) makes good sense to me: Many people pay for things they find immoral, because they still follow their urges - many a priest has hired a hooker - but if they can get the same goods for free, they'll be very heavily inclined to do so. Lastly, the import of the DVD sales is that many porn companies based their entire business model around VHS and DVDs, with the market dropping out in that category, they are left scrambling to get their content online. Dumb of them? Yes, very. Going to cause a number of companies to go bankrupt? Sadly, yes, probably. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

That is a good point, people will settle for quite low quality if it is free. Being willing to pay, I make no time for shitty image / video quality, but I suppose I'm a bit of the exception than the rule. Still, the interactive appeal of a webcam experience is very attractive for some customers, so in that sense webcams have that "x-factor" that always makes them able to earn dollars. Despite this, I must say, the amount of money one can burn through on a webcam, I never been fond of them for that reason. I used to love the free webcams that were included with METArt but I think they too have switched over to free-to-preview / pay-to-play webcams. The free webcams made the girls a lot more relaxed, willing to talk and tease - though most of the users just repeated "show us your pussy" constantly. I ended up in a 20 minute discussion with one girl trying to explain to her what a Woodchuck was. That left a lot of the other users extremely confused when they joined the cam mid conversation. But I digress. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

I will grant you that this article is rather shallow, as it is more of an overview than an in-depth exposé and is very focused on the heterosexual market of the porn industry. That said, I've never seen a male performer from the hetero side of the industry advertising their webcam account on their twitter feed - a practice that is very common among female performers.

I believe, the author was implying that the appeal of webcams were their interactive nature. There can be a certain amount of truth in this as webcams tend to be much lower quality in regards to both the format and the relative stationary position of the camera (though some models will move the camera around either by hand or remote). Without the interactivity, webcams recordings can be a bit boring. So while the video technically can be pirated, the real-time freshness that makes a webcam stream appealing, cannot.

I just ran across the rather shallow but certainly topical BBC article about the decline of profits in the porn industry. We've all heard the story before, but it is interesting to see it brought up again in mainstream media.
It is crazy to think a name like Tommy Gunn is pulling in $40K before taxes and without any benefits. I know we all preach to the choir quite regularly about the importance of supporting pay sites and not downloading illegal porn, but it is some what shocking at times to see that one of the top male performers is making about the same salary of that of a store manager at McDonald's. It's when you run across stats like that that at least my attitude toward Digital Rights Management lightens up a bit. The article also makes the point that some people find it more morally reprehensible to actually purchase porn than if they "happen" to watch it for free. I find the Music and Film industries' complaints about content piracy are usually rather hollow mostly because studies have shown for years that easier access to their content actually boasts sales. They had the same fears when the reel-to-reel equipment became available to the consumer, and again with audio tapes, and vcr, and cd, et cetera - everytime equaled a boost in sales. Secondly, in regards to music and film, the majority of people downloading the content haven't the money to purchase it - but they do have the free time to figure out how to download it. Those with the money, don't have the time, so they are more inclined to purchase. However, if porn is clashing with one's morale compass, that sort of blows the system apart. So here is to the porn industry and a hope for a bright future with less stigma and more consumers! "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Glad to have brought some humour into your day I have absolutely not a single, solitary clue as to why the beloved Steakhouse was removed. Some say it was a loss-leader, but if it remains on the menu in Canada, it seems like production costs mustn't be that high - it wasn't like it was any more expensive. In fact, I think with the exchange rate, I paid less.I gotta say, after trying to buy some grocery products in Canada - I'm not surprised people take the trip over. Especially the state controlled booze, OMFG that that shit is expensive. Ironically, if they are buying their booze in the "North Country" (aka: St. Lawrence county and the other super northern New York counties) they aren't getting a huge savings. Driving the extra 3 hours to Syracuse or other central New York cities will net a 25-50% price drop. We get royally screwed up here in the wasteland that is the North Country. Of course, the trip probably wouldn't be worth it for normal groceries, unless you have a refrigerator installed in your car. Though it might be worth it for reaching a Wegmans supermarket, as they have a superior cheese selection. Of course, this all applies only if you live in southern Ontario or southern Quebec.

Thanks, Toadsith, you made my day! Glad you enjoyed our Steakhouse Burgers! Why did they withdraw them from the American market? Not enough demand? Or the health craze?

On a sort of tangent from regional pricing... How about region-specific products?! Since messmer brought up Canadian Dollars being that he is all a resident of Canada and whatnot, I just wanted to point out that Burger King is really giving Canada the Royal treatment as compared to us lowly Americans! (And no, you cannot point out that both Mexico and Canada and all of those other folks below the equator too can rightfully call themselves Americans as they live on the North or South American continents. We are the United States and we took that word and you can't have it. Maybe you could have North... or South... no... some of us are rather attached to South... so you really can't have that either.) Anyway, my obfuscated point is this: Canadian Burger Kings are not only selling poutine - which is an awesome invention of the Quebec province (the specific town is a matter of rather fierce debate), but this last Sunday when I was up in Brockville to watch Prometheus (which you shouldn't bother seeing because it is mostly a pile of loosely held together genetic and anthropological ideas with so little character development that the only character one has a smidgen of sentiment for is a ridiculously attractive and peculiarly smarmy android) I found out that they are also selling the Steakhouse burger! I grant that I should not be so attached to a food, especially one from such a violently unhealthy place like Burger King, but this particular family of burgers were a particular fetish of mine and I was absolutely crushed when they were pulled from the market. Little did I know that the evil bastards running the 3rd largest burger chain in the USA (yes, they got their ass kicked by Wendy's in 2011) had decided to pull the Steakhouse burger from only the USA's market. All this time all I'd needed to do was to pay the $6 blasted dollars for the round-trip over the bridge and explain to the two sets of guards protecting the two borders that a fast-food burger was a good reason to travel to a different country and after that minor inconvenience I could have satiated my need. Yet there was no such announcement, they simply went on producing this beloved food product a mere 20 miles away from me and all of those damned Ontarians wandering through my local supermarket remained smugly mute about the burgers they were hoarding just across the border. Bastards. Still, Galaxy theaters are quite nice so I'll be popping over again quite soon. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I can't comment on their recent content, but one of the strengths of Abby Winters' older content was their tendency to shoot models in the homes of said models and to encourage those models to wear their own clothing. It automatically added an nice bit of randomness into the sets and helped add some three-dimensionality to the model's presented personality as well. So frequently models are provided the clothing by the production company and the sets are reused. It saves money and relies on the differences of the models as the selling point. It is sort of like one the tactics that drove the Detroit automotive industry into the ground for a bit there. They'd produce one basic car and then slap different badges on it and hope the customer would perceive them as different cars. One does have to account for the expectations of the customers. A recent poll, as limited a sample size as it may be, showed that most of us expected a site to update multiple times a week. That is a massive amount of content production. You figure multi-million dollar television shows generally produce at maximum 24 episodes a year. This of course excludes the daily shows like news and other hosted shows, which some porn does compete with. If a porn site was only expected to produce 10 videos in a year, perhaps we'd all be members of HBX to watch the amazing acting, production values and entertaining writing in its hardcore production of Game of Bones. Alas, we want at least 104 videos made a year, preferably more, and we don't want to pay much for it. I believe there is an old adage about business: It can be built well. It can be built quickly. It can be built cheaply. Choose two. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

The morale of the story should instead be: Talk to your spouse. I'm assuming the author's note was intended to be the morale, but I feel it misses the mark in a similar way that Todd's good intentions missed the mark with his replication of the behaviour depicted in the gonzo porn film he'd recently watched. Some people find this behaviour erotic, others don't. Yes, porn stars are performing for cash - but that doesn't mean no one behaves this way in their own bedroom on their own time. A good rule of thumb I've run across is that if you can imagine an activity, any activity, then it exists as a sexual fetish for someone. The tragedy of this story is not the depiction of extreme and frequently misogynistic sexual behaviour in popular gonzo pornography, but instead that a loving, enthusiastic, and sexually active 30+ year partnership was destroyed by a simple lack of communication. It is a common situation but no less saddening. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

I know the exact scene you speak of and I wasn't disappointed. Firstly because Ioana is quite attractive and I'm glad she is still working. Secondly, she has done mountains of anal content in the past, including double penetrations, so if she didn't feel like doing it on that shoot, who cares? I'm not hugely certain she is a fan of it and while I enjoy her past work (and it isn't going anywhere if I want to check it out later) I'd rather her be comfortable and genuinely turned on. Oh if we could get directors to relax and allow scenes to evolve organically. Specifically, telling their performers to stop robotic moaning would be a giant leap in the right direction. For Ioana in particular, she practically paled at the suggestion of double anal during an interview, so I think she may be moving away from that genre. Or maybe she just wasn't feeling it that day, who knows? I'm glad that 21 Sextury posted the scene despite its lack of anal - they didn't really have a different area well suited to posting, except maybe Club Sandy but I don't think Sandy was anyway associated with shoot so that would be even more misleading that placing it in the anal category. This is the problem with creating specific sites within a network - it can lead to confusion. None-the-less, I think they made the best decision. Some people will be grumpy, but who cares?

Adobe® Bridge. The newest version is very good, lots of organizational methods, you can rate photos, make notes, et cetera. It is part of the Adobe CS family. If you get Adobe Photoshop I believe it comes with it. I have the Master Collection, so I also have all of the other Adobe goodies. I'm still using CS3, but they are now up to CS6. CS stands for Creative Suite and is the way they are bundling their various creative applications. To get the new Master Suite without purchasing an upgrade version is a wee bit expensive however. (That would be: $2,599.00) So buy an older version would be my recommendation. Or if you are or know a college student, buy one of the student versions - they are soooooo much cheaper.

21 Sextreme, the self proclaimed "Dark Side of 21Sextury.com", is a network that caters to edgier porn and includes Tight Gay Holes as part of its network of 18 sites. 21 Sextreme has lots of transsexual porn as well. The only problem is that their pure gay content is no longer updating, so you won't be finding any HD content there. You could also activate both networks simultaneously as they share the same site and then you'll have access to 21Sextury.com's more vanilla content too. On the issue of billing, most respectable sites use CCBill or another billing service that provides a very bland and boring label on your bank statements. Seven out of the top ten rated gay sites on The Best Porn are using either CCBill or Epoch, both reputable billing services. (21 Sextreme and 21Sextury.com use SegPay or Epoch, either can be chosen out of user preference.) It is important to point out, however, that despite the boring names of these billing companies, a very suspicious spouse could of course look them up and eventually uncover whatever site you are subscribed to anyway. It is hard to hide things from someone that has access to your bank accounts. All it would take is to enter your email address you signed up with and the number of the credit card you used. I suppose you could use an email address your spouse doesn't know. I don't know how successful would could be using the phone to get the information. Suffice it to say, if you aren't married to someone with Holmesian tendencies, you should be fine. G'luck with your porn quest! It is a brightly coloured, many varied world out there!

They are pretty much all High Anonymous rating and frequently offer encryption. Yes, of course there is a risk, but not all that much more so than signing up with pay-sites in general.

Ok, since this seems to be such a huge issue for people, I've finally decided to join the fray. There is one very simple solution that I'm surprised has not apparently been suggested yet: Anonymous Proxy Servers Proxy 4 Free tests and posts links to proxy sites located all over the world, but the vast majority are in the United States. Using that should allow you to sign up with the lower price. You just click on the server name, that'll take you to the home page, where you'll see a search box like on Google. Just type in the address of the billing page and then you'll be presented the page as ported through the proxy server. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I'd say that is a pretty accurate description of Japanese porn. Those of us used to Western porn, specifically the enthusiasm expected of the female stars (so expected that Escorts now commonly offer PSE, or the Porn Star Experience - as opposed to the Girl Friend Experience, GFE), can often be rather disturbed and disarmed at how female Japanese porn stars tend to appear uncomfortable to even non-consensual about the sex. This, I promise you, it is what is popular, expected and practiced within the Japanese porn community. I say this because I've seen enough blooper incidents in Japanese porn where the girl starts laughing and has to take a break before getting back into character. Japanese customers want the girls to appear virginal and inexperienced while they are partaking in these various obscene and imaginative acts. It is hard to get used to at first, but once you really absorb the fact that it is all a show like WWE (formally WWF - damn you, Panda, for taking back the name that was rightfully yours!) you can sit back and become engrossed in the fantasy of it all. Every once in a while you'll run across a Japanese porn star (or AV Idol as they are frequently called) that is so inherently sexual that I think directors just give up trying to direct her and just roll the cameras while the male stars holds on for dear life. That is a nice change of pace and reminds you that women all over the world enjoy sex, no matter what standards their culture imposes upon. I suppose that is why some butchers take to genital mutilation: no worries about your little girl becoming a whore because she likes it if you've cut off her clit. But I digress. The main point is that Japan, despite being dominated again and again by Western forces, has retained a unique culture around its pornography. The culture is no longer as open or as sex-positive as it was in earlier times in Japanese history, but it is an interesting blend that makes their porn worth cultivating an appreciation for. Hopefully their culture will become more sex-positive in the manner that Europe has been working on for years, and the USA is trying to catch up to. Censorship is already becoming laxer and may soon go away like the rotary dial. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Very good article, The Atlantic is a great rag. I personally am a bit of a fan of pubic hair, though I wouldn't say it is deal-breaking preference. For me, the only female body hair that I have a significant distaste for is leg hair, back hair, breast hair and the age-old mustache. I don't mind furry forearms, bellies, arm pits or pubes. On the right girl, such hair can be very sexy. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

A lot of people don't like an athletic physique on women, and so yes, many fans complained saying she looked sickly and anorexic. It seems if a girl has visible muscles, she is gross and too thin. Sometimes I wonder how Marie Luv stays in business, though I think she is quite the sexual dynamo. I am a fan of fit women: check out German high jumper, Ariane Friedrich as another example. I do not believe Naomi was underweight and I think her completion actually improved as she lost weight. Naomi herself was quite annoyed about all the attention her weight-loss brought, stating that she was a physically active person and was simply returning to her natural, lean physique (being an avid mountain climber). She reports that she was sick and had put on weight prior to entering porn, some have reported that this was due to a battle with cancer and she put on weight during recovery - she personally didn't elaborate on "sick". You can read an interview with her where she discusses the subject at the end of the interview: AVN: "Naomi Speaks" 1/19/2007 "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Kink is indeed great for reasonably extreme BDSM, no arguments here. For Japanese, I'm currently a member of AV Idolz, which is quite good if you are seeking uncensored Japanese porn and aren't concerned about HD content. They even stream their content so you can check it out before downloading. Sadly, the audio synch on the streaming is usually off by about 3 seconds, so that gets annoying. They don't have a lot in the BDSM arena, but as I said, almost all Japanese porn features submissive women, it is a cultural thing. Asian Movie Pass features TONS of Japanese porn, but most of it is censored. That said, they will have plenty of the BDSM and faux-rape stuff (Rough Sex category). Another group of sites that just came to mind are the products of D&E Media LLC. They are famous for Ghetto Gaggers, Facial Abuse, and similar sites. These sites have been repeatedly picked out as being abusive towards women because of the severity of the domination. Basically the male stars treat the female stars as little more than a body with warm holes, acting in total disregard for the enjoyment of the woman. It is entertaining if you tend toward enjoying on-screen domination. But it can be really offensive for many viewers. They apparently have addressed the white male actors working over black female actors by making a new site called Black On Black Crime featuring black male actors performing the domination. Anywho, I hope that info is helpful. Cheers! "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Hey Cybertoad - That's a nice short story! Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to take time to read it and frequently I'm only on the board for a few minutes at a time. I was surprised to see that it was written from the woman's point-of-view, but it was a good read and didn't come across as forced or contrived. I'm assuming the formatting errors are simply from copy-pasting the text from a word-processor directly into that forum. I'd love to see the full-length story! I also feel like we should start a mad-libs style, member created story, were people can only add one paragraph at a time - that would be wildly amusing I think!

Nina Hartley was and still is quite well endowed in the buttocks department. However: I still have yet to find a star that has bested Naomi Russell. I was particularly a fan when she returned to her natural, hyper-fit physique. When she started out in porn, she had put on some pounds, but once she got the six-pack back, she was even more energetic performance-wise and still had a mind-boggling ass (all-be-it a trimmer one). I should also note that reports of her death have been greatly exaggerated, but she has certainly retired, as sad as that is. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I'm pretty sure the links already showed this, but in case it wasn't noted, Netu there is quite well represented on the 21 Sextury Network, with 6 scenes. Every scene features her anal talents, including one DP scene. (By "DP" I of course mean Director of Photography.) "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Any Japanese porn. The nation has made a past-time out of doing ridiculous things to their submissive women. A large percentage of Japanese women constantly speak at the upper registers of their vocal range because high voices are considered sexy and submissive. You'll find a large range of female submissiveness featured in Japanese porn, from basic virginal awkwardness with whimpering and lots of missionary position, to intricate rope-work bondage, to straight up rape-play fantasy scenarios that can be disturbingly convincing (right up until you realize they are using a toy gun).

It is rather rare, but such a thing does exist. If you want a substantial amount of that content, you'll need pretty much trawl through all of the uncensored Japanese porn available. For example, AV Idolz has a grand total of 6 scenes that fit your requirements. There is a lot of good porn from Thailand and the Philippines, but it isn't very common for the women to be paired with black men. American men yes, but just not of the African American variety. Japan seems to have a bit of an African American fetish, so as more and more of that content is being released uncensored, more will start showing up. China is very limited on its internet presence for porn, there is plenty being produced, but very little is making it online yet. As China is becoming more urbane I think more porn will start coming out of there. It is a scenario where the government has technically outlawed it, but doesn't enforce it. Basically the same policy they have toward prostitution. So look forward to good porn coming out of China, but it isn't quite there yet. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Agreed - TinEye is a damn cool site, good find there otoh! I have found that women with prominent veins along the surface of their breasts are frequently currently or recently have been breast feeding. So it very likely she is wearing a bra designed for nursing. That said, some women have damn near translucent skin and be glad that that it hasn't gone so far that they look like this.

Wow, a post of mine referenced four years later - that has to be some kind of record for me, lol. I had no idea that an unabridged version of Stranger had been released, though I'm not surprised considering how many college freshmen still adore the book. I do agree with Micha's point: Editors are wildly underrated and can really make a good book out of disorganized shite. There is some discussion that Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" was quite effective because of his editor, Robert Gottlieb. Largely because Heller's following works never quite lived up to Catch-22. Gottlieb, it turns out, is the same man that edits Robert Caro's master pieces. Actually, if you'd like to read and entirely fascinating article about Robert Caro and the finer points of journalism, editing, book making and so on, check out this article from Esquire by Chris Jones.
There is no arguing that his novels tended to be very sexual, though I would argue that "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is worth anyone's time. You'll find it rather short on sex and quite an entertaining story. It is even timely since Newt Gingrich has promised a Moon Base by his second term and that it could eventually petition to be the USA's 51st state. I also contend, that Heinlein's best work (and may have said this before) is his short stories, especially evident in his book "A Past Through Tomorrow" which collects the short stories in "The Green Hills of Earth" and adds many more. I do find it rather funny that former naval Lieutenant would become a proponent of bisexuality and be described by Issac Asimov as a "flaming Liberal". "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I think testing the waters isn't a bad idea, but I know there is a hell of a market for erotica. I recall a story on NPR (I think it was) about a person who was stealing erotic that was posted on the web for free, just copying it and then posting it for sale as an eBook on Amazon, and they were making money hand-over-fist. If you've got a back-log of unique content, I say get it online. Too many people create art for years and then never get the nerve to show it to the public, let alone try to profit from it. Best of luck and tell us your username name you are posting under so we can look it up! "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

It is sad that American Vice didn't survive. It is so hard to overcome the momentum that the older sites have, even when you've got a superior product. AV was caught in a bit of a Catch 22, they couldn't get contracts with the biggest production companies because they didn't have enough subscribers, and they couldn't get the masses of subscribers because they didn't have the biggest production companies. They also kept getting screwed by Google placement and things like that... It is sad when a genuinely innovative, customer service oriented company bites the dust. Long live American Vice.
