Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by turboshaft: True Crypt's site says the "plausible deniability" is for cases where users are forced (by "adversaries") to give their passwords, such as in cases of extortion, but I didn't read anything about law enforcement serving a warrant. I doubt most sex offenders/pedophiles are really worried about extortion, or at least not as much as simply being caught. It's probably just not in good taste to explicitly advertise a software feature that would appeal to sex criminals. The capability certainly applies to what you suggest, but another, far more serious, concern is court ordered investigations where a warrant for search of hard drives under FISA are becoming popular. The idea that you can maintain documents and/or financial records with some assurance that they cannot be accessed by force of law, extortion and/or any other force is very appealing to me. After all, in Roe v Wade the Supreme Court created a "right to privacy" which I plan to exercise if, as and when something comes up that I really don't want others to know.

All right, all right .. I need to keep things simple! :-) What I really like is that I no longer have to encrypt individual picture sets or videos. All I have to do is put them into my mounted drive .. as is .. and when I want to use them I don't have to worry about decrypting anything. When I'm done I simply turn off the external hard drive and no one who turns it on without my knowledge would ever know that there's anything on it. Just what the doctor ordered. After reading the plausible deniability material, I am with you all the way. I'm a KISS kinda guy - Keep It Simple Stupid.

I installed it last week, encrypted my external drive, gave it a strong password and can now relax about prying eyes. It's a great program. I checked out their site and will try it out after I read the beginner's tutorial. I really like their "plausible deniability" method. Not only do they lock up your stuff, but they also provide explanations on how to deal with those doing forensics on your computer.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	It can be helpful finding more info about a porn star and/or a summary of the content of a porn video. My sources are: Cyberspace Adult Video Reviews (CAVR) EuroBabe Index Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD) RAME (It's actually a part of the IAFD site) My # 1 "go to" source is CAVR because the guy who runs it (Den) responds to emails, answers questions and accepts corrections. I'm interested if anyone else has any good research resources in addition to the above.

I see a site that gets my nad's rocking and I'll take the leap and start clicking in my Master Card number. At least that's the way it used to be. Porn Users has saved me a bunch of bucks because I can get a complete feel for what I'm getting when I sign up.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Initially I used Internet Explorer's download manager, then I switched over to Firefox Mozilla about 4 months ago. Their download manager is far better than IE's, but I started this topic because I wanted to know what';s out there and what D/L managers are not effective on porn sites. I'm not getting it, probably a brain cramp. When I tried the trial version of IDM I had nothing but problems with it and had no success whatever getting even a single clip from Video Box to download at all.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Well said. One way to address this problem would be to have another feature in PU; a new site section. Here webmasters can post announcements of their new sites and changes to existing sites.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by Goldfish: With many of those Euro models it can a challenge to identify your favorites. Many sites only use a first name and it changes on each site. I guess the models don't care about building a fan base. Exactly right. And it makes it a challenge for us lovers of the unadorned female form My favorite resource for identifying European Babes is Eurobabeindex.com where you can search by name. It's not always the answer because some sites don't worry about making our lives easier, just about extracting money from us horndogs, so they make up names out of the blue. Example: One of my favorite European Babes is Anastasia Christ. Here's the EuroBabeIndex listing for her.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by williamj: I love large labia. I can think of two models...a gal named Catalina Lamour from back in 90's, Cali beach bunny. I've seen her in video's from a company named Private Performance and a fetish company I believe called Mother's Productions. The other girl is listed in inthecrack.com under Zoe. There's others I'm sure. I would love to get my hands on some of Catalina l'Amour's work. She had great boons and an incredible pair of labia lips that she showed off to this horn dog to the point where it drove me NUTZ. One babe that is getting a lot of action after her Penthouse gig is Andie Valentino who has a beautiful labia, a great natural rack, a very pretty girl next door look and a great attitude. (This is not the same Andie that mr smut uses in his avatar) She has a large video/photo set on FTVGirls (where she goes by the name Andrea) where she shows off her special asset very nicely. She also appears in Twistys and several other sites. She has made some lesbian videos (available on VideoBox) but has not done any hardcore that I know of. Edited on Jul 02, 2008, 07:20am

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	I've seen some comments on PU that suggest that Internet Download Manager is a good utility. I checked the site Internet Download Manager and found that there is a current price of $24.95 (a $5 discount) good thru tomorrow. I'm interested in knowing what you guys think about IDM and other download managers and, more importantly, how universal they are. In other words will a certail D/L manager work on any and all sites? Are there factors to consider before buying one? Etc. Thanks for any information you can provide. Edited on Jul 02, 2008, 07:09am

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by shooterbo: I would think that if the websites would knock off this "recurring" charge feature, they would double their business almost overnight. None of us want that hanging over our head so consistently. Frankly, the recurring carge works best if they knock off $5 for month 2 forward, or add a decent site to the access list. I watch my membership(s) closely and will cancel a site that I like as I'm nearing the end of a billing cycle. If they offer a "please stay" special price, that will normally snag me. If they don't, I'll sign up again later when I know I'll have time to work the site for new stuff. In other words the marketing strategy of recurring memberships makes sense because it keeps the lazy or forgetful types. But it makes much more sense if there's a price "hook" added to the mix where there's a "penalty" attached to cancellation & rebooking. My favorite example is X Movies where I've been less than thrilled with the site but the "please stay" discount is good enough to keep me on the leash and the recurring membership makes it easy to stay.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	I recently left Met-Art where almost every set starts nude or with a light negligee that shows the model's body parts in all their glory. With 3 or 4 new sets every day, the ones that have the model starting off fully clothed are few and far between.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by Pornviewer: I personally like smaller boobs 34B is nice on a slender young lady. I like my boobs perky, stand up and non-sagging. I dislike fake boobs a lot. In fact I will often fast forward or skip porn with a woman who has huge fake boobs. Some boob job that are not too large and look natural are okay. You can usually see the cut lines on fake boobs, either under the nipple or on the side. Sometimes fake boobs wrinkle in an unnatural way. I like flat chested girls too with eraser-like nipples that perk out like on Melissa. Another fetish of mine is inverted nipples and puffies. I like these because they are rare. They are just something out of the ordinary. There are just tons of large breasted women in porn that all look alike. So something slightly different or unique really catches my attention. I just wish the camera operator would give these unique titties a little more attention when filming the take. Sometime you only get a glimpse here and there. Small or large, I love all natural boobs. I, too, love puffy nipples (example-Koika), those with very large areolae (Avy Scott) and especially large, erect nipples that poke through net bras (Holly Hollywood). Here's a babe with superb puffy nipples. It's a link to a small spread of Koika (a Met-Art babe who has started working for others) - http://www.pantyhosetoday.com/fhg/toxic/sph_b_02_012.html

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by Drooler: It looks like you didn't need to contact them at all. You were just going to keep the monthly until it ran out, then sign up again at the yearly rate. And it looks like maybe you shouldn't have contacted them! They didn't say they'd give you a prorating on the existing monthly membership? ... You're exactly right. I was a 7+ month subscriber to Met-Art and decided I wanted to stick around at a lower price. What I was attempting to do was to have the site (not CCBill) roll my partial month into the 1 year deal either with a pro rated reduction of the 1 year price or by setting things up to renew me automatically at the end of my paid month at the 1 year rate. Neither of those options ware acceptable to Met-Art. Their reply was that I should cancel my membership, then wait until the term expired, then sign up for the 1 year plan. Otherwise I would be automatically renewed for another month at the monthly rate. I did exactly as they said. However, right after I received the confirmation of the cancellation from CCBill, I was denied access to the site. In other words, Met-Art's customer service staff either did not know the policy or intentionally misled me. They did not reply to subsequent emails. Frankly, I like the site (or I wouldn't have been interested in the annual membership). But I dislike being jerked around more than I liked the site enough to continue with the site...so I'm using the money to join a different site. What I'm missing is the common sense economics of a site like Met-Art screwing over a long term customer. They only had to complete the last weeks of my existing membership and they had me locked up for another year. Now, for whatever they saved by not having me as a member is offset by a loss of $100 additional revenue. I guess they have become so successful that they feel we need them more than they need us.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by Drooler: There has been a greater percentage of what I'd call "lingerie" photosets at MetArt and MetModels, too. I mean, the girls never get completely nude in them; their garters stay on. It's not my thing and not my reason for joining the site, and while I don't mind if it happens every once it while, it's been noticeably more than that. So I complained. Their response was that their primary focus is on nudity, so I "should be fine." Somebody missed something. My point. And, their focus. 'Nuff said? And telling me that I "should be fine" could be interpreted as a euphemized "fuck off" combined with "because you're complaining too much about too little." With that, I wish I could agree, but I don't. I've been in service occupations, and of course people can get on your nerves, and you do feel like taking a good swipe at them because sometimes they're a pain in the ass, let's face it. Still, being on the consumer end, while it wasn't such a BFD, the tone and connotations were basically "You're wrong and stop complaining." My answer: You want feedback? You provide the contact information? You asked for it, and you got it. Then when you get it, should you really tell a customer, in so many words, that you think they're wrong, and then leave it at that? I mean, sometimes the customer IS wrong, but responding with a reply that does not even show consideration for what the customer is saying is, I think, inadvisable. Mind you, I still think very highly of MetArt and pretty highly of MetModels in terms of the quality of their photography and the webmastering, too. The customer service isn't bad. After all, they've replied to me before and sometimes they've even admitted mistakes. But it could be better. I've been plodding along with MetArt at their special rate of $19.95 a month and thought about going for the annual deal at $99.99. So I sent them an email. They responded quickly and told me to cancel my monthly first, then sign up for the annual. So I cancelled my monthly and planned to sign up for the annual when time ran out on the monthly. Guess what? They pulled the plug instantly when I cancelled even though I still had a few weeks remaining. Accordingly I do not plan to re-enroll. That cavalier approach lost them a 1-year sign up.

I seriously don't understand why they are choosing to go after well established porn websites. If you setup Net Nanny, or whatever content filtering software you choose, your kids won't be seeing any porn online. If you are an adult and you run across these sites, more likely than not - you were looking for the sites, to a certain degree. I agree. Other than kiddie porn and genres of porn that involve forced or involuntary activity by an unwilling participant/performer, both of which can and should be pursued aggressively, the notion that the public is served by prosecution of "main stream" porn is so outdated it's a waste of taxpayer money and precious courtroom time.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	There's a response to today's poll question that prompts a matter about which I've been thinking for a long time. That's the psychological thing. (The poll question has nothing to do with this subject, but the response is from a member who moderates in a psychological forum on the web.) I have always found myself watching the babes and thinking about how the porn business has changed and what effect being in the business has on the female porn performers. Back in the 60's, porn was all under the counter and any female who was even identified incorrectly as participating in porn was scarred for life. Over the counter "porn" back then could only show boobs (any below the waist stuff had to be airbrushed out) and was still available only in the big cities. Back in the beginning of open porn (i. e., when Playboy first showed muff in a photo layout in the 1970's) followed by Linda Lovelace's fellatio performed on Harry Reems in 1972 in Deep Throat, most porn magazine and movie producers with any sense of decency warned the girls that their lives would be permanently changed and that they would probably not get any jobs in the entertainment industry if they were known to have been in porn. Playboy and Penthouse even asked its models to sign statements acknowledging that they got and understood the warnings. These days, however, actresses like Jenna Jameson are A list celebrity millionaires and are established as roll models for today's girls. A graduating senior in a nearby university brags about her success in porn in her yearbook. TV dramas are treating porn actresses as they would anyone who has been successful in any venture. (Little negative commentary, sometimes sympathetic treatment, etc. Law & Order even explores the question - can a porn actress be raped on a movie set when she's decided in the middle of a scene that she's had enough?) So my question is, is participating in the porn industry causing any psychological damage at all to the girls entering the business in the 2000's the way it did in the past as described in the books written by Ginger Lynn, Linda Lovelace and Christy Canyon? Would you accept it as a career path for your daughter? (I'm not asking if you'd encourage it...but how would you react if your daughter told you that's what she will be doing and that she'll be extremely careful in choosing her work and her partners and will take every precaution against STD's.)

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by Wittyguy: The US isn't totally out of line with the rest of the world but we aren't getting any better. A recent government study put the US about 4th for the overall cost of broadband (the higher the rank, the less expensive) but we ran about 12th when you at cost in terms of dollars per meg of speed. That study concluded that major barrier to lowering costs was the lack of competition, especially once you get outside of major cities. Because we're so much bigger than Eurpean countries and the high tech asian companies it's harder for companies to break into the market because of the initial high infrastructure costs. On the other hand, the big cable companies try and keep others out of their markets when "threats" start to appear. As a whole, what I find disconcerning is the fact that US economy of the future rests on our service industry, especially on our high tech edge. If you start pricing people, especially students - aka our future, out of the market what does that say about our national priorities? This is spot on point. Here in LA where Comcast and Time Warner both have markets, our extortionist City Council decided to go for a protection racket approach. If Comcast and Time Warner would agree to collecting a 10% tax on all cable services the City of LA would grant exclusive rights to each of the two companies to the geographic areas of their choosing and would also permit each company to establish whatever rates they chose. (After all, 10% of $50.00 yields more taxes to the City than 10% of $40.00, doesn't it? Result, in my area Time Warner has added a bunch of extra charges to our cable service bill so that for basic low speed cable plus over the air TV on cable, I am now paying $110.00 per month, and we've been notified that basic cable TV will be going up another $5.00 (plus $0.50 tax) in September. Ain't anti-competitive Socialism wonderful?

One example is the Shay Laren site (see review) where the individual site is not worth the money, but the Glamour Models Gone Bad affiliation makes the investment a good one.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by asmith12: I think that it's a pretty big chance it will be there. The reason is simple: ISPs are looking a way to increase their profits, and eventually they came out with quite an obvious question: "we're ok when "some Grandmother" who uses 1M/month paying $30, it makes us a lot of money, but why we can't charge more from the guy who uses 1000G/month?" And personally I would even pay them more if it would reduce oversubscribing and provide promised 15MBit/s all the time (which obviously isn't going to happen). And for those who says "we'll come back to DSL": if it will become "industry practice", DSLs will likely follow the suit (they just won't be able to pay for all the traffic if ALL high-volume users will switch there). And IMHO it has quite good chance to become "industry practice" especially if ISPs will drop prices for "some Grandmother" a bit (face it: number of high-volumers is very low compared to number of "some Grandmothers", so it is Grandmothers where the next wave of price wars will be concentrated on). PS Did you know than in Europe they're still paying fees per minute of LOCAL phone call and nobody's complaining? I find your defense of the practice interesting. On the one hand, cable, today, has no contract. DSL, on the other hand, has a one year contract that auto renews. I cannot speak for others but my DSL contact never specified any variable rate structure for volume. Theoretically the cannot legally change the auto-renew contract to add penaltes for volume. If/when the trend suggests that volume penalty pricing will be the future, it pays to switch to DSL before the change hits cable. And how does the fact that Europeans pay by the minute for local calls apply to this subject?

For us old farts who remember the dark days 18 years ago with AOL's "nickel minutes" ($3.00 an hour of on line time when connecting through their modems via dial-up at about 28-32kpm maximum speed), this dimwitted idea will last about as long as AOL's scheme; especially after their inbound modems all crashed creating a massive DOS (denial of service). Cable modems have one major advantage, no contract. DSL, on the other hand, even with an annual contract can be cheaper and better. This "ass-raping" as runefist correctly calls it, won't last very long. Count on it.

MSNBC Part of the article: Consumers in Time Warner Cable's test region will be offered several levels of service. A $29.95 per month plan for slower speeds of 768 kilobits per second and a 5 gigabyte limit would let users send and receive nearly 350,000 e-mails, play 170 hours of online games, or download more than 1,380 digital songs per month. At the high end, a $54.90 monthly fee for a 15-megabit-per-second service and a 40 gigabyte monthly limit would allow subscribers to watch 124 hours of standard-definition videos or download 11,070 songs. Not a wonderful prospect.

Really? My gaze never got that high! ;o) Actually English girls do tend to have less than perfect teeth and those who chow down too much can be a bit sloppy around the gut. But by and large the ladies jiggling down Oxford and Regent Streets where the major dpt stores are located take very good care of themselves and make for some lovely afternoons for us horny types. Now in LA no one walks anywhere and in NY the majority of ladies are not high on the attractive scale and the larger chested ones tend not to show their assets off as they to in London.

I must strenuously object. My favorite street in the world is Oxford St. in London on a hot summer afternoon watching the naturally well endowed and braless English lasses wobbling down the street in their flimsy tops. My second favorite street in the world is Regent Street. And my favorite bird watching spot is just across the street from the Oxford Circus tube stop. Gorgeous faces, terrific bodies and no secrets. That said, I really never got into the early sites with their lousy resolution and high prices so there's no nostalgia here.

Just a few that have some over the counter stuff that one can no longer obtain...just for nostalgia. Candy Barr, for example, who, even by today's standards was absolutely one perfectly gorgeous babe. If she was born 45 years later she'd be a top star rather than a barely remembered Mafia moll. I had the good fortune of sneaking into a NYC nudie theatre when I was 17 and going nutz watching her dance. Just one time but I still remember that experience.

The store I used closed down years ago and is now just a desserted building covered in spay paint "art".

The same is true for electronic goods. I havent set foot into a high street store to buy anything like that for about 4 years. The stores just cant match internet prices. I read a comment by somebody on here a few days ago saying he had never read a playboy mag :-O just started directly with internet porn. When I think about how much money I spent on magazines over the years it makes me :-( ByteMaster's comments echo my situation almost exactly. I dropped into my local store just for grins and was totally turned off. Yes they rented DVD's now not VHS tapes but they nor want $3.00 a pop per video, and the DVDs cannot be copied. The internet is far less expensive and far more convenient!

In other words should PU stand up for speech or play it safe and avoid any potential legal liability?... Let me ask this. How many porn sites have any videos with Traci Lords, even after she turned 18? Is the industry "playing it safe?" You Hell betcha! The alternative ain't pretty and the industry seems to be doing quite well without Traci in the picture. I don't see how TBP or PU can help the cause of "free speech" by taking the completely unnecessary risk of linking anything to Max Hardcore. If they were directly involved with Max, that's one thing. But they're not.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Frankly, a male induced external ejaculation onto a female's body makes no sense; never did, never will. Early porn always showed the guy splurting cum on the babe's butt or belly as a demonstration of birth control (seriously). In fact back in the day, the question was whether the guy orgasing was happy having to pull out his schlong mid-gasm or if it frustrated him. Frequently it showed on the guy's face how much he wanted to finish off inside the chick. Then in the 1980's, the concept of a "money shot" was invented as a description of the external cum shot which then became an important part of all porn. Then there was the cum shot in the mouth, then the swallow. But in all cases the jerking off part was accomplished by the female vagina. Now, because many guys require help squirting their loads, the ladies would give them hand jobs and/or blowjobs just to get the jizz flowing. And now we're reduced to watching guys jerking themselves off just to create the "money shot." No vaginally induced orgasms, just a slop job like us sausage pullers keep the Kleenex ready for. The whole thing does nothing at all for me. Creampies (where the jizz is ejaculated into the vagina...or the anus in some cases and is recorded as it oozes out) seem a bit risky to me but at least it suggests that the sex act was probably real. But when the splat has to be self generated by the male jerking himself off, it is quite clear that orgasm was never reached by the porn stud and has absolutely no appeal to me whatsoever. As for me, except in those cases where I was barebacked (no condom), when the notion of creating a rug rat was not appealing to either of us, I never had an external squirt.

While it sounds like you've been in business for a while I wouldn't want join a DRM site that advertises a permanent useage license only to find out they've closed shop or changed their policy and I can't renew my license to view the material any more. Exactly what happened to me with the Danni.com site that used DRM on all video content. They "guaranteed" lifetime access to all downloaded videos provided that the member kept all downloads on the same disk. Any move of a file required relicensing, which, in turn, required active membership. So I bought a 320 Gig external and went to work. Everything was accessible at all times while I was a member. They remained accessible when I canceled, but only until the site was sold by Danni. Then DRM set in and I lost all "guaranteed" access to about 200 Gigs of stored stuff. Danni's Customer Service Dept. is nonexistent. Even after several emails to them I got no reply. For that reason alone, if a site uses DRM, they won't get my money.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by badandy400: Splatnet Here is a curious though. Is there a way to tag the videos when they are downloaded to that the person who downloaded the video from the site can be identified by the video. This way if the videos show up everywhere there is a way to tell who it was who originally posted openly, thus this person could be banned. Just a thought....those of us who do not post everywhere would have nothing to worry about then. Excellent idea. Yes, it raises some privacy issues, but it is a great way to deter sharing on public sites.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	I have been a VB subscriber for a very long time and am very happy with the content. But I will never start any site with a long term commitment to a site (like 10 months) until I get a chance to see if I really do like it. To deal with the credit card concern, I opened a new credit card account (with CitiBank) and requested a very low credit limit ($100.00). I monitor the account online and pay all charges as soon as they appear. If a site tries something like an unauthorized charge, my loss is controlled by the credit limit. But to answer your question directly, I have not had any problems at all with CCBill or with EPOCH over the course of 3 years.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Being in LA and having friends in the motion picture industry, protection of intellectual property is a very old subject that goes back to the introduction of VCR's in the late 1970's, so I'm quite aware of, and sympathetic to, the issue of the economic losses that can be caused by piracy. Back in the day when my porn acquisitions were solely on videotape rentals from the store, mainstream movie rentals all had copyright protection but only a very few porn videos used any protection. (And I mean both kinds - condoms and anti-piracy features.) I asked and was told that the reason was the cost of adding anti-piracy protection to a porn video was higher than any cost (via reduced revenues) from pirated videos. And that porn was such a low cost/high revenue business there was no need to piss off the customer. Mainstream movies, however, have much lower margins (percentage-wise) so anti-piracy protection was, for them, worthwhile. I really would think the same thing applies to on-line porn. The primary cost to a porn site is content, but the business model depends on the volume of sign-ups to make a profit. Share sites are a concern, but the vast majority of porn sites feed specific interests which the share sites cannot do. More to the point, the porn producers in the 1990's and early 2000's had more to fear from unauthorized dupes and sales of their VHS stuff than porn sites have through share sites. And that characteristic is affirmed by the fact that, even the most paranoid sites (e.g., Danni.com) have recently dropped DRM with a resultant quick bump in new memberships. Bottom line (at least to me) is that DRM is much more of a drag on the revenue line of a porn site because most folks like me will never sign up for a site with DRM, and most folks like me aren't interested in share sites nor will we use them. I'm completely sympathetic and completely agree with everything that Splatnet says in defense of a site's exposure to economic loss from piracy. However, as with any anti-piracy techniques, using DRM has its revenue consequences and I assume that Splatnet considered those consequences in his decision to use DRM.

This way is better: Are we basically talking about nude photography or are there niches like lingerie, upskirt etc. to be found on the site? I couldn't get that info from the preview. "Sexually explicit" is not a must but the niches I mentioned are important to me because I get easily bored with plain nudes no matter how attractive the model may be. I appreciate beauty but don't want to look at nothing but naked for a month. Blame encroaching old age for that. One does become slightly jaded after a time! :-) And Monahan, the models are extremely good looking and the quality appears to be outstanding so I don't blame you for recommending the site. To give you some idea of what's on Met-Art, drill down into their free website to page 4 or 5 and go to the bottom - "subscribe to our newsletter" - and you'll get a good idea of their stuff. (Be patient. The javascript for the subscription template is rather draggy.) To summarize the content, 1. It's all young women. Only. On the Met-Art Planet, there are no men. 2. The shoots range from partial nudity (some but not that many) to legs wide open gynecological examination shots. 3. The only self touching, curiously, is a very casual hand drop that might brush a breast or the labia. Definitely no insertions of anything; not even labia lip spreads. 4. There are several lesbo sets where the sexual contact is far more suggestive around the breasts (licking, kissing, etc.) as well as 1980's Playboy style "close call" shots around the labia. In shorter terms, I recommend that you try the free newsletter samplers first because I suspect you'll be disappointed when you see that Met Art is, indeed, nothing but naked BTW, if you are into video stuff, Met Art has video but don't join for that. The resolution isn't great and manyu times the video is just of a photo shoot and nothing else.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by messmer: You might very well be right, Toadsith. I'm no expert on photography. When I'm talking "warm and soft" I am referring to all those models that seem to have been dusted with a brownish powder and then blurred slightly with Photoshop in order to hide imperfections! :-) So, maybe I should stop using the term "cool" and replace it with "natural and crisp." The point is that you have been effective in defining your preferences, whatever terminology you use and they pretty nuch match mine. What drives me nutz with photos is when the photographer is focusing on the labia and the model is in a partial supine position and he pays no attention to depth of field. The result is a sharp pic of the target but an out of focus set of tits and even more out of focus face. This kind of thing is correctible in most cases but when a photoset has a bunch of pics with that characteristic, either the photog is lazy, or the photog is trying to be artsy fartsy. The technique occasionally is used as well for older women with age lines or young girls with complexion issues, but that's where a little PhotoShop work could preserve sharpess. Earlier I suggested Met-Art for any and all kinds of photography because the sheer volume of stuff is so big, if you find a saturation level or fuzzy focus issue with one model, you have a lot of alternatives.

Monahan (0) Active User Posts: 348 Registered: Jan 17, '07 Location: SF Valley, CA	Originally Posted by Wittyguy: You're right. I was referring to "recent history" (last 30 to 40 years) when I made my statement. Obviously, the laws and general culture prior to that time were much more restrictive. My thinking is that Justice Potter's famous line of "I know it when I see it" is probably coming to an end and that things are either going to tighten up or loosen up a lot more on the legal end as opposed to what they currently are. My other thought is that while we certainly have more speech and opportunities for free speech (like this internet forum) technology is making it easier to track those who possess or make "speech" that is on the fringes of society. Our speech today is growing more dependent on technology in order to "spread the message" so to speak and that makes all of us more susceptable to being monitored or branded as outlaws some day. I see a more complex scenario dveloping. In the early to mid 90's the Nudie bars were in crummy locations and lap dances were only a fantasy. Private booth dances required full cover bottom and top. 15 years later they are now "gentlemens' clubs" that advertise on TV and are now on high street (main street in the USA) and are generally accepted businesses. The private sofa dances are a whole lot steamier (and much more expensive) today. Local ordinances limit location and activities but nothing like 15 years ago. And as far as restricting speech, I haven't heard of any situations at all where anyone has been prevented from saying or depicting anything except kiddie porn. If you watch Law & Order, for example, and the detectives analyze a confiscated hard drive, you can see how a computer loaded with legit (adult) porn is ignored but if there's kiddie porn they will go to work on the perv. As they should. I can't think of any case at all since Y2K where possessing, viewing or producing legit. porn has caused someone to be prosecuted.

Fast and effective responses to all communications. No complaints at all. Lousy (non-existent) customer service: Danni.com, angelicacostello.com, BangBros.com and its sister sites. Danni.com was among the best when Danni Ashe owned it, but when the site was sold, customer service became virtually non-existent. Angelicacostello.com (Venus Knight's website) has no functioning customer service email addy. BangBros.com's reaction to my complaint when they refused to honor the TBP discount as published on these pages was rude and suggested that TBP was something I made up. (TBP has since removed the discount announcement from their BangBros.com listing.)
