Time for a little creative fun. I'm looking for who or what fictional character would make the best pornstar. Edited on Apr 19, 2023, 01:50pm | |

Like Toadsith and Goldfish, I don't have any real hangups about people being in the business; hell, I'm a consumer of it after all. I think I would be concerned if a close friend or family member was pretty young (under 21 say) and getting into some the hardcore aspects of it. I would want to make sure that they had a grasp on the situation and weren't doing something that they might seriously regret later on or scar them emotionally. | |

I think that the definition of a porn star is changing from what it used to be. There are certainly a lot more recognizable girls in the business today thanks to the internet and it is the internet that in turn feeds the need for more new faces and scenes. The once taboo nature of the porn biz has faded a bit today. It's not longer enough to be in a few movies and have a bangin' hot body. You need to have the business savvy to go with it. All the big names from Jenna Jameson to Bree Olson to Sandra Shine, etc. all do things differently today than the stars of yester year. You got to have your own website (which means you have to own and produce your own content), you have to have your material on several other megasites, and you have to market yourself on the web and in more traditional formats. Most "managers" of porn stars probably won't take it to the level it needs to be and the big production companies won't let the stars own their scenes. Most porn stars probably don't have the sophistication and career longevity to pull it off. As such, it becomes harder to stand out from the crowd than it was even 10 years ago. | |

For me, I don't really care where the girls come from as long as they're hot and can perform. I do think there a few reasons for the growth in the eastern euro market. 1. Money. You can probably get better quality women for less money than you can here. It's only been a few years since the eastern economies calmed down but the average American still has about 20x more purchasing power than the average Russian (google fact search). I equate it to the trend in conventional modelling. With the fall of the iron curtain the Western Supermodel essentially died because you had all these incredibly hot Eastern Europeans willing to model for a heck of a lot less. 2. Looks. Let's face it, America is the home of the double cheeseburger supersized meal. Is it just me or do more of the younger American porn stars seem to be a bit heavier today than they were a decade ago? When it comes to the young hotties, I think Eastern Europe has the most to choose from simply because the Burger King and XBox lifestyle hasn't invaded every country yet. 3. Lack of Stigma. Europe has a more relaxed attitude about sex and while being in porn still isn't a "mainstream" career there I think it's not as taboo as it is here. Coule this with my first two reasons and I think you have a bigger pool of willing performers available to porn producers. | |

So here's my two cents. Part of the issue is money. There's a lot more money in porn today, both in amounts generated by the industry and amounts paid to the higher end porn stars. With more money at stake you want your porn stars and product to stand out more. Like the evolution of tv shows from one or two set productions of the 50's and 60's to the more lavish stuff of today there is the drive to "improve" the production. With porn, there is only so much you feature since everyone pretty much gets naked so I think the porn star costume has become something of the standout showcase in the industry. Another other part plays on the fantasy angle. I think the rational is why fantasize about the cheerleader, for example, when you can fantasize about the ultimate cheerleader. Thus, the costume gets pushed over the top. Lastly, the costume is just an over exaggeration of sexuality. High heels are meant to show off a womans legs and express feminity. The six inch platform stilletos and frilly underwear take that the extreme. Again, porn feeds a fantasy for all of us and the natural end is the exaggeration of the qualities that drive the fantasy. This topic sounds like a cool psychology term paper. | |

I agree that I thought there would be more members. But, I'm somewhat curious as to how much traffic Pornusers gets? In other words, while there are a lot of members, many of whom are inactive though, I wonder how many people look at this site and read the reviews but never sign up. | |

Best: Suze.net. They reply to email promptly and have an 800 number you can call for immediate action. I've used both and had nothing but a good outcome. Worst: Teendreams.com. For whatever reason they have a problem with their server believing that your password has been hacked or given away. For a while I was getting emailed a new password everyother day and then I was finally blocked from the site. I never had a reply to my emails. I think we can all agree that the worst customer support is no customer support; the sites where your inquiries go into the email abyss. | |

X3 Guide was good site but I always felt that TBP, prior Pornusers, was by far the best at providing useful information. Rabbits and Porninspector were also good in that they post samples with their reviews. I definitely think Pornusers tops the list because you get multiple reviews with a lot of useful information, not just what some reviewer wants to talk about. I've never seen another site quite like this and have to say this place rocks. | |

I'm a picture fan so I'll toss in my 2 cents here about why I prefer picks: 1. For me, bandwith is a bit of an issue as I don't want to spend all day downloading vids when I could pull a lot more picture sets instead. Pics also take up less room, although that isn't such a big issue these days, and are easier to manage in large numbers at least for me. 2. Another aspect is my limited attention span and interest in variety. I take some time to edit down my photo sets and put them into file sets. Put on the slide show function and you can cruise through many sets in the same time it takes to jump around a video looking for the scenes I like. 3. Bad acting is another reason. On many an occasion I've come across a hot babe in what could have been a hot scene only to be turned off by a mediocre "punching the clock" performance. With pictures your free to let your imagination fill in the blanks so to speak. I think you're less limited in that respect by pictures. 4. I also happen to just like photography. Some people don't go to see drama based movies because they don't like the genre; some people don't go to jazz concerts because they don't like jazz, etc. For me, it's just one of those things that floats my boat. | |

[As a precursor, this thread was started back in 2008. Since then, this thread has been added to the "PU Review Rules" section as link for new members to explore in helping them write reviews. Feel free to read the whole thread (it is entertaining and thought provoking). However, if you just want the highlights try the "Toadsith Cheatsheet Post here and the "Revised Toadsith Cheat Sheet" for writing reviews. For writing reviews on a site where TheBestPorn has written a version 2.0 review, go here. All links are contained within this thread.] OK, so how many of us have read a PU website review that says "Lots of hot girls but limited content available" and wondered what that really means. A lot of PU members say in their profiles that they don't like reading bad reviews. The PU support staff give a general guide to what makes a good review but no specifics are offered so we are basically left to our own judgment as to what we include in our reviews. I have nothing against this format and I appluad PU for giving reviewers a lot of flexibility in creating their reviews. However, in this humble chimp's opinion, I think we could all benefit by including a few basic concepts in our reviews. The suggestions I offer are meant to take up minimal space in the review while providing some good basic information for all of us. My suggestions are also meant to help people with a range of technical skills. So here are my basics as to what a review should include in order to benefit the rest of us. First, take a minute and look at what other PU reviews have said, what the TBP has said and what the site tour says. If there is no TBP review or only an express review, then you should be prepared to say a little more. The same goes if you are the first PU user to review the site or if the website only has general information in their tour (ie: "50,000+ photos and 200 gigs of video"). If the "site facts" listed on TBP are out of date, be prepared to update those figures. Once you've taken this into consideration your review should cover the following: A. Exclusive Content: Is there exclusive content or not. If you don't know it's fine to say you don't know. B. Content Available: Don't just say "lots of videos" or "only a few pictures". Ambiguity doesn't help in this situation. If the website or TBP doesn't break it down real well, tell the rest of us what to expect in real numbers. I would like to know how many sets are available in what categories. A sample review might say "A mix of content with 250+ downloads in six categories including hardcore, solo and lesbian with solo being the largest at 100+". Again, what you say will vary depending on the site but specific numbers help more than general statments about content. If the content is high rez or bad quality, let us know that too. C. Video Content: As I said above, tell us roughly how many downloads and/or streams are available. Also, please tell us what the download options and stream rates are. A sample review might say "150+ downloads and streams available with sizes up to 720x540 at rates over 1 meg per second". If you don't know the technical specs and site doesn't state them you could say "downloads available in small, medium and large format". Also, let us know if there is DRM, if there are consistent download problems or if there are problems with slow downloads. If you're worried about room in your review, you can always put this information in the "pros/cons" section since there is plenty of room to type in that section. D. Pictures: A lot of PU users focus mainly on the videos, which is fine, but some of us are into pictures. Please let us know if there are pictures and what the maximum picture size is (1200x800 for example). If you don't know what the max picture size is you could say "max pic size is full screen" and we'll get the idea. If there is a big discrepency between the number of videos available and picture sets available please tell us. Ideally, I would like to know how many picture sets there are and in what categories. Also, let us know if zip download is available. E. Bonus Content: Let us know if bonus content is available or if the site is part of a network. F. Updates: Does the site regularly update or not. Again, just a quick note is useful. I have basically drawn the line at these six categories. I know that other people might want to know other facts but I've tried to limit my suggestions in order to maintain maximum flexibility for the reviewer while giving the rest of us good information. I think the average reviewer could cover the concepts I laid out in about 250 characters which leaves plenty of room to include whatever the reviewer wants. If I could impart any lasting advice it would be to use hard numbers in describing the content of the website in your review and not just general statements. Edited on Sep 01, 2009, 05:01pm | |

Like JD1961, I also gravitate more towards the photographic so my collection is not a huge, in terms of gigs, as some others. I regularly go back and edit stuff and clean out the "less worthy" material as time goes by. Speaking of feeding your chimp, of which my avatar strongly approves, I think the biggest "primal" satisfaction a lot of us get is from seeing something new that we didn't already have. When you start getting bored with the "new experience" I think you'll finally have hit the proverbial wall and will find yourself backing off from the porn thing at least for a while. I've hit the wall once before and strayed back after about 6 months. Will it happen again? | |

I think Toadsith, the King of prose, has pretty much said it all. I only have two things to add: 1. Give a true tour showing what you got. Red flags start going off for me when all you have is an entry page and then a join page. It shows you're legit and you actually have what you claim to have. 2. Do a better job of cropping photos. A lot of sites now seem to be going only for the closeup shot or partial body shot. This is OK but when the whole set is like that it is a bit of a turn off. Also, I find it annoying when you got a whole bunch of "white space" and then the model is at the bottom or edge with a good part of her body cropped out. This isn't high art, it's sort or lame to me. | |

Refocusing on the original issue of whether porn is too mainstream or not, I think that the industry is basically maturing. Porn is becoming more mainstream but will never be readily accepted in the US (at least in our lifetime) and I don't think anyone here really wants it your face all the time. By now, most of the niches have been explored to some degree or another although I'm sure there a few far out or twisted ones yet to go. Most of what we see online is driven by economics and website traffic. In the US I do think you get a formulistic stuff because it doesn't pay to much of anything else. Besides how many 18 year olds who probably don't even have a GED are going to put on an Oscar worthy acting performance. You are kind of limited by the talent which is in turn dictated by what people are willing to pay and see. Could porn be better. Hell ya. Will it get better? Probably not unless you're willing to shell out a bunch of money to a website so they can get scriptwriters, nice sets and pay a porn star who can realistically say something believable. Even then, porn is still going to be dominated by the low budget, crank em out mentality because that is best and fastest way to make a buck in the business. | |

For my vote, Sylvia Saint ranks up there. Currently, I'd have to say that Nella has a primo piece of booty as well as Sophie Moon. | |

I would probably add the Babes.tv site to the list as a good place for newbies. You get access to about 6 sites with a host of pornstars and mix of old and new sets. The pictures are come in large size and the vids are pretty decent. Navigation can be a bit of pain (at least it was when I was there about 8 months ago) but it's not bad for your dollar ($20 a month). | |
