I contacted Freddie yesterday. She told me she has the flu. I hope she is getting better. She also told me that she would bring my request to Mike C for a decision.

I wrote a review on Tuesday of Asian Sex Diary that the webmaster did not like. I think it would be appropriate if he were suspended, or even worse, banned for life. PU does not need trolls or even hostile webmasters.

I wanted to keep this as quiet as I could until an answer came back from MikeC. This has always been a site for pornusers to express opinions freely without fear of harassment. It is not a site for webmasters to belittle past, present or future customers or their honest opinions.

Since I see responses from Shen, Jook and Exotics, I think it is time for everyone to see the situation for themselves. What should be done if anything?

I do not mind at all if one of us disagrees with anything I write. I don't take it personally, but apparently the webmaster does. "Fake News"? Sounds familiar, I think I have heard that before. But where? Edited on Mar 22, 2019, 01:21pm

Public transportation here is great. I certainly have no complaints.

Location: new jersey 		New York in the 1970s was depressing. The city was bankrupt and services were getting cut every day. Crime went up as there were far fewer police.

Now it is completely different. Still crowded, but much better in so many ways.

The place to live is in nearby New Jersey. Close to New York so you can work or go there to visit, but less crowded and cheaper. Rents have been increasing as more and more people from New York are moving in. Jared Kushner has several new condo buildings and expected but did not get big tax breaks too. He has been publicly feuding with the Jersey City mayor as a result.

I used to have a volunteer job with my local city councilman. I did the research on tax breaks for Kushner's projects and many others. The councilman did not want to give tax breaks as he felt they were unfair giveaways to rich investors. What Kushner wanted was unconscionable.

There has also been a lot of hotel construction in the area. You can stay in a beautiful hotel in Secaucus and take a bus to New York. This is much much cheaper than a hotel in Manhattan and maybe fifteen minutes away. Edited on Mar 21, 2019, 04:44pm

I recently started a thread asking for advice about my upcoming visit to London.

I am grateful for all the information and advice that has been so graciously offered.

I have lived in the New York area all of my life. I have been nearly everywhere and done probably just about everything.

If anyone wants help or advice, feel free to ask.

My bride and I visited London for the first time in the summer of 2016. I’m not a huge fan of travel generally but I really enjoyed this trip and we will most definitely go back. It made a difference that we could drive four hours and then have a direct six(ish)-hour flight. I prefer trips that are steeped in history but my wife really prefers to shop and be entertained so we don’t often take trips like the one to London.

Weather has been mentioned, and it is certainly variable but we went in late July and it was quite hot and humid. I don’t recall that we got a lot of rain but it would be advisable to pack and carry an umbrella. Or, if it rains in the afternoon just duck into a pub for a beer. The heat and humidity just about killed me but since you’re from New Jersey it will probably seem like home.

Another advantage you’ll have is that unlike someone from a rural area, big cities likely don’t intimidate you and you won’t do anything stupid that might make you a target for a mugging or something like that.

One thing I’m just remembering is that we found the pub protocols different from what we were used to. We went into a pub to get lunch and waited forever for someone to come to our table to take an order. It turns out that in pubs that don’t cater to tourists that the protocol is to go to the bar to order for yourself. Keep that in mind. In more touristy areas like Windsor table service was available.

The underground will be an essential means of transportation for you. I say that because surface transportation around the busy areas will be almost impossible. The Underground is clean and safe but there are so many lines that I found it difficult to use. But then I spent more time looking at the sights than paying attention to where I was.

We stayed right in London for the whole trip (with one exception) as there was plenty to see and do. We did a day trip to Windsor by train and I would recommend that. There appear to be different kinds of rail service between London and Windsor so you may want to do some digging. We went to Windsor on an express train that was modern and air conditioned. We came home via an older, un-air-conditioned train that stopped many times on the way back. I think you just need to time it properly.

I highly recommend the trip to Windsor. It’s worth it.

I recall we bought something called a London Pass or something like that. It gave us free or heavily discounted access to many places and in some instances it gave us access to shorter waiting lines.

We did go to the British Museum but that was both hot and crowded the day we went. It either isn’t air conditioned or not adequately so. I got to see the Rosetta Stone and some of the Egyptian artifacts and then gave up, but that’s not so bad as that’s what I wanted to see and I’ll plan to go back next time at a different time of year when it’s cooler and less touristy. (One advantage to being from Atlantic Canada is that I could go there for what the Brits call winter and probably wear shorts.)

A highlight for me was Westminster Abbey. Utterly breathtaking! Religion, politics and history are all intertwined in the UK and I can’t imagine a place where this is more obvious than the Abbey. I’ll definitely go back there and probably spend most of a day.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is also worth the visit. The Abbey’s history goes back well over a thousand years and is more closely associated with Royalty. St. Paul’s is a bit newer (but still old by North American standards) and definitely worth the visit.

The year we went, Buckingham Palace was open to the public but I recall that was a rare occasion. If it is, that’s worth seeing too. Even stopping by to see the building is worth it.

I got dragged to Harrod’s and that didn’t go well. I hate being hemmed in by crowds and I hate shopping. The crowd in Harrod’s was something that I was not prepared for. It was wall-to-wall people and VERY difficult to move. If you love crowds and shopping give it a go. If I’m dragged there again I’ll head for a nearby pub while my wife goes shopping.

We took a Grey Line bus tour. You’d know the ones – with the open top buses. I wouldn’t do that again but I’m glad we did it. We got to see a lot and got to sit considering it was hot and humid, but the street traffic is so bad the bus moved slowly. I’ve done a similar tour of NYC and NYC looks uncongested compared to London. But it could have been the day and the place.

When we book all our arrangements one thing we did was book transportation from the airport. There is a train that runs from the airport and drops you at an Underground station where you can then hop on a subway and get close to your final destination. You can take a cab or walk depending on distance and stamina. We did that because a lot of what we read said that taxis from the airport (Heathrow) were super expensive. So we dragged our luggage to the train (a bit of a hike), then to the subway and eventually to the hotel.

On the return trip we were pretty tired. (It was us and another couple.) Rather than walk to the Underground hauling our luggage (it was a couple of blocks) we called a cab for that short part of the trip. The cab driver told us that we were misled, that taxis to and from the airport were not more expensive than the train. He asked what we had paid and he said he could get us to the airport for less than that. So, even though we had already pre-paid the train we were so tired we opted to have him drive us to the airport. We had door-to-door service (as opposed to walking probably a total of a mile otherwise) for the same or less cost. That is seriously worth looking into.

Obviously you’re going to filter all of these suggestions in the thread through your own interests. There are other touristy things like the London Eye and the Shard. I wouldn’t do the Eye again but I’m glad I did it. If I had the chance to ride the Eye or spend an additional couple of hours at the Abbey I’d go for the Abbey in a heartbeat.

For me the highlights, the things I’ll remember forever even if I don’t get back (and things I’ll visit again if I do) are Westminster Abbey and Windsor. Windsor will take an entire day. I can’t imagine doing it justice in anything less than that.

If I think of anything else I’ll post again.

Thanks so much for your post and advice. We will be there in mid May, so I hope that the weather will not be too hot or humid. As far as an umbrella, the ones I can get in my area are a waste of money. I expect to buy one when we get there. I have heard the English are known for better umbrellas. We have a ride from the airport as we used Expedia for the hotel and flight and they offer this service as well.
You mentioned the Greyline bus tour. I want to try that as an introduction to the city as we have never been there. I want to go to the British Museum for the Rosetta Stone, I see we have that in common.
I was thinking of going to Harrods, but may not. I hate crowds although New York is crowds on steroids. I never got used to that.
You mentioned Windsor. I will check that out.

I should start a post with advice on visiting New York. I could have been a tour guide as I have been everywhere.

That said, whilst there is a recent surge in pointless violent street crime in some outlying residential districts, I do not believe there are any particular ‘no go’ areas anywhere. Most random violence at the moment seems to be in the outer boroughs between kids and youths knifing each other over grievances – real or imagined – and on the street rather than on the underground.

Obviously you should follow the usual rules – don’t flash money about and don’t act like a dick but other than that, the likelihood of encountering problems in the parts you are likely to get to are remote indeed. As with anyone and anywhere, it always feels a bit uncomfortable travelling really late at night alone so I would try and avoid it, but that is more just a general sensible precaution rather than out of any expectation of a problem. There may be groups of drunk revellers in the evening but so long as you just keep a bit of a distance all will be fine. Again – just common sense and as applicable in the street as on the underground.

I am not as pessimistic as Shen in terms of finding your way around the underground. But travelling on it is an experience to be endured not savoured. It is for the most part fairly dingy. At the main stations at commuter times the build-up of bodies borders on the sort of thing you only thought happened in films – spilling off the platform, up the stairs and out into the concourse. Shutters get pulled across to prevent too many people getting down to the platform. But outside those times it isn’t too bad.

It isn’t a social network on the underground. If someone talks to you, for the most part they will be after money, drunk, mad or a combination of all three. From time to time someone promotes the idea of wearing badges to indicate that one is a person happy to converse in the normal manner but it never gets off the ground. Overall you will find more signs of communication, good manners and civility in an ant colony.

The guide books will tell you more than I ever could about the sights and museums etc. I think the only thing I might add is that if you have particular interests then most main centres are fairly accessible and not that far from London by train (albeit that the train is expensive). So, for example, Rochester at 50 mins to an hour by train might be a destination for folks interested in the life works of Charles Dickens. Pretty(ish) in the day but as rough as old boots at night – much like in Dickens’ own time I imagine. But you get the idea in terms of the concept of other destinations!
T.


I appreciate your input. I am used to the subway in New York and this has some points of similarity.

I can only agree with MBaya here - I'm delighted if the site would like to encourage more gay members, but there are a lot of gay sites which aren't listed.

I have contributed to the latest "sites not listed" thread and I hope more can be added, because I drifted away from PU when a lot of the gay sites I used to review seemed to disappear and suggestions for new sites were either not acknowledged at all but acknowledged and nothing came of it.

The key to attracting and keeping members of any sexuality or sex is simply good communication from the site staff, and that has been variable in PU history from excellent to poor at different times.

It would also be nice if some of the polls could acknowledge not all users are straight males. I appreciate the vast majority are and I have no issue at all with polls which reflect that, but for example the one on the page at the moment asking what age of female model you prefer could easily have just asked for an age of model without specifying that they had to be women.

Where it's possible for polls to be inclusive of both sexes it would be good - though as I say of course the vast majority here are straight men and no issue with polls aimed at them which can't be adapted to include everyone.

I always enjoyed your reviews, even if I had no interest in the site. PU needs high quality input like yours.

Pretty self explanatory!

It is now a month since this thread was started. I for one would like to see an update as to what is happening.

If you reached out and are waiting for a response, I think everyone will understand.

This was an interesting thread, but I think your original question revolved around getting more gay members.
Over the years we have never had more than a few gay reviewers at one time.
What they had in common was a complaint that there were not enough gay sites listed.
List more and you will get reviews. Once you have the start of a community, I think growth is inevitable. Gay porn is a hot commodity for those into it. I heard years ago that the demand for gay porn was greater than the supply.
I looked at a few professional gay porn review sites and saw nothing that can compare to PU as a community. Edited on Mar 18, 2019, 01:49pm

Regarding the avatar, the forum is quite old so it's normal we encounter some technical difficulties. I have asked the tech team to take a look at it and they're doing the best they can!


He was awarded the points before I discovered the fraud.
In all fairness, I did not expect any response from Freddie immediately as it was a Saturday. But yes I expected the fraudster to be banned for life. His, not PU's which I hope will be a lot longer.

Tower Bridge
The Shard Building
House Of Parliament
The Science Museum in Kensington
Madam Tussauds (wax models of celebrities)
London Zoo
Trafalgar Square

I'm just throwing ideas around.

Yes, it is called the Underground and although it is very useful the lines can get confusing and everything is fast paced. You should try and be accompanied with someone at least the first or second time, as it is easy to get lost in my opinion. Much like many other major cities, everyone is walking very quickly and nobody likes a slowpoke there so if you need to slow down do it out of everyone else's way. This is the way it is unfortunately, in my experience. If you get lost, just ask (but not someone in a rush because you'll just piss them off lol) or find a map on the wall. You'll know where you are. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Just remember which line you're on and look up to see if you're on the right line, which stop you're looking for, and listening out for the tannoy to let you know where you are. I'm not sure if it is applicable for tourists, but if it is getting an Oyster card will be very helpful rather than buying a travel card. It's cheaper, quicker, more efficient. You can also use them on buses, while only travel card train tickets can do the same not others.

https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/vi.../visitor-oyster-card

I must add though that despite me going to London many times I'm not 100% sure on all this info as I also still get lost sometimes because I'm not very good at navigating around and have to resort to my phone to get back on track. I don't know if everything is inch perfect in accuracy either. I don't live in a major city so that might be why.

Good luck and hope you enjoy London!

What a wealth of information. Much appreciated. I see that my hotel is very close to Trafalgar Square.
I will definitely check that one out.

I have a hotel booked already in Central London. The sights are interesting, but there are so many I don't know where to start.

How is the subway, I see it is called the Underground? Is it safe and easy to get around? Edited on Mar 17, 2019, 12:35pm

Whatever.

But the prize should be restricted to outstanding, impressive reviews only. And should only be given once in a while.
Unless the level of reviews submitted somehow improves a lot.
Which is doubtful, in my opinion.
Some people have the ability, the talent to make some great reviews.
But most of us submit what we hope are adequate reviews.

And the standard bar that the PU staff uses for reviews is pretty low. I talking about reviews that win one or more raffle tickets.

Khan was much more discriminating.
May he rest in peace.

I agree with your comments, but feel that Khan sometimes hurt PU.

I have never mentioned this, but he once gave me a mere one point for a review because it did not have the stats for the photo sets.

I begged and begged that he let me rewrite my review and have it reconsidered. He relented and have two points awarded for every review that I have ever written.

If we used his standard today, we might see two point reviews maybe once a month, if even that much.

By the way I thought he was nitpicking and we don't need that today either.

Overall he was great for PU, but today we have a different porn environment.

I remember Khan liking it because it allowed lurker members to be involved and he thought it would lead to them posting.


I don't remember it. Was it effective in increasing participation?

Location: new jersey 		The list would be rather small if only using these criteria.

In fact it would be easy to predict who would win at least the first few awards.

I think leaving the specific criteria open and intentionally vague would let in some new names.

Isn't that what we want?

There is a big disconnect in the film industry between the movies made for money and the movies made for critical prestige. Almost all the biggest box office movies aren't considered for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, or Best Adapted Screenplay.

Film is an industry where most of the movies are made to reap huge box office take, which is why so many big studio hits are so similar. Due to the lengthy production process of film, money chases tastes, so we tend to see very similar movies over and over (one of the reasons so many movies are sequels, prequels, or trilogies). The money invested is chasing the trend of what has succeeded before. The major exception to this is "Oscar Bait" movies. Many of them have small budgets, don't get seen by many people, and make very little money. The reason that these movies are made (they don't get high returns on investment, so why make them?) are strictly to get awards. The blockbusters are subsidizing the more interesting and provoking films that won't make money. It's imperative that these smaller films give the studios *something* for their investment, so they are usually geared to winning awards.

There are some movies that I can't understand how they were made to win an award. Example number one was The Shape of Water. Pure ridiculous nonsense, even though I like fantasy stories. Example two was Birdman, completely a waste of my time. Halfway into it I was so bored, as well as so lost, that I gave up. I saw Holmes and Watson the day it opened and had not yet seen the reviews. I liked it better than those two, which was not all that much. Yet which one won a Razzie?
I dare not leave out one other clunker. What was so great about Grand Budapest Hotel? Deathly boring and disjointed. Edited on Feb 26, 2019, 04:04am

I think that is the reason. I realize you want to be polite, thank you. The best thing you can do is to leave trust votes for new people who you want to encourage. At this point I don't care if I get a trust vote or not. Edited on Feb 21, 2019, 01:24pm

Funny!

I was thinking about my recent review of CumPerfection. If I had not did mentioned it was a bj site, no one could ever have figured that out from the site name. If you take the tour you see it is a bj site. Without a mention in the review, you don't know and probably can't figure out if the site is for you or not. Do you spend time checking it out? Probably not as you can find dozens or hundreds of sites that may be worth a look.

I spent this morning looking for a site to join and read a whole lot of reviews. Often, I did not get information that I was looking for. Of course there are many ways to write excellent reviews and we all have our own style. Edited on Feb 21, 2019, 10:01am

I joined primarily as a way to complain about how a website treated me after inadvertantly not unchecking a cross sale box. Immediately I got some positive support, so I decided to post my first review. The comments about it were supportive and I got my first trust ratings from Aceofaces and Drooler. Thanks guys. They really made me feel good. So I then wanted to get past being a newbie with less than five points. After that, I felt that it was a lot of fun writing reviews and getting positive feedback. I have enjoyed the positive atmosphere that we have here.

I am not deliberately trying to pass anyone in the rankings, but it has happened anyway. I am proud to be ranked number three, but a lot more proud to have so many trust ratings from so many PUers. Thanks to all of you.


The reviewers I respect the most are Exotics and Gcode. I feel their reviews are simply awe inspiring and wish I could write as well. The two reviewers I find most helpful as their tastes are similar to mine are Drooler and Denner.

My only real criticism of many reviews is that after I read them, I find that I lack a true feel for the experience of being on the site. Many times I feel that the site is not sufficiently described, just criticised. I can read a long detailed review and still not know what the site is really about. They sound as if they were written for an audience that already is familiar with the site. It is better to start at the beginning and expect your reader to know nothing about your topic. Many college students also write this way and this is not exactly ideal.

This has been a fun year thanks to all the positive people on PU.


I still feel that starting in the middle is a problem regarding how many reviews are written. It is best to explain as if the reader knows absolutely nothing about the site.

Great idea. You also can give trust votes where you feel it would help as both Khan and Amanda did occasionally.

I would like the trust vote system revitalized. We need to leave a negative in order to flag those you should check out.

Leaving a positive trust vote is an easy kind of recognition. I leave them for new members who put effort into their reviews, comments, etc. When I first started here the welcoming attitude kept me around. The standard for everyone here, members and management, should be to notice new members and make them feel valued. Edited on Feb 17, 2019, 04:37pm

1. Member of the Month! The idea around here would be pretty straight forward. Each month, you guys nominate a member of the month - who wrote the best reviews, who was the best community member. The winner is chosen by a random raffle and would win a 30 day membership to a porn site of their liking!

We need a few rules for this to work. You cannot nominate yourself and cannot win more than once a year.

Is it too soon for a nomination? I would want to see Shen win. His first two reviews are astonishingly good. Edited on Feb 15, 2019, 12:06pm

What can be done to encourage reviews of sites that have none?

We are currently compiling it all and will be reporting back with changes that reflect everything you guys have been saying. By the end of the week, we'll post some suggested changes that we'd love some feedback on!

We have been listening and reading everything and want to make sure that we understand the grievances properly.

Once again, I wanted to say that you guys are the lifeblood of the community and what keeps it alive and a great place. I know I'm new here but it's clear how passionate you all are and it's very inspiring.


I am glad to hear that there will be communication. I think I can speak for everyone that we want a better PU.

Exotics mentioned some examples in another post. Members harassed an excellent reviewer of trans sites. No one needs to hear that this is not your taste-just whether the review is well done. Another example a while back was of a lesbian reviewer. We lost a member because of a political opinion.
I am sure there are other examples. Ignore that a member talks about orientation or uncommon interests.

Judge the review and not the person. Edited on Feb 11, 2019, 09:08am

I think we should have thread for input from members.

My first suggestion is that a new thread be opened by management for requests for sites to be listed. We have an old one from 2016, but need a new one.

This Suggestions thread, the New Site 2019 request thread, the New Member thread, What a PU Review Should Include and the thread Help Wanted should all be pinned to the top. They used to be and are all helpful, I think.

The new site request thread should be taken seriously. Members should get an update as to their request's status. It can be as little as the site has not responded or even the site does not want to be listed. If a site does get a listing, let the members know. Not informing anyone has happened, but is not what is in the best interest of PU as the requesting member probably wants to post a review.

Because it did look like to some that I was causing problems. I've also never known you to cause problems. And it's why I said I understand the frustration but I hope you do at least give the staff a chance to make changes. My post above lists several changes that I think would be great for PU. Including a couple of female members, which is something I know you've asked for more of. I wouldn't say I'm taking a risk there but having members like you in the forum, will make me feel a little more comfortable about how they're treated.


Yes I do not make trouble and don't even complain. I have ignored many things that have happened here.

I am glad you brought up the topic of Miss Hybrid. I remember it well. I think that I have become hypersensitive regarding shills and trolls as a result. How that webmistress treated our members was a real travesty. I was afraid that the incident would be the downfall of PU. Anyone who was not here then is lucky to not have had that horrible experience. We must be vigilant that our site does not allow parasites to ruin what should be a great site.

I think we can make PU the best review site of any kind. We are already better than Amazon or Yelp reviews. Reddit is a site that I am not familiar with.

I will not go into what I have already complained about.
I don't want to be angry forever and I don't want to leave PU.

Granted those are just words, but they are the sentiment we want, no?


An apology is a good place to start.
My issue is as follows:The first raffle, she did not know the rules. Ok, understandable. Awards a winning to someone who had won the previous week. Corrected the mistake online, not in private and let us know that mistakes would be corrected even after the raffle winner is announced.

Soon after awards a raffle again to someone who won in the previous raffle. HUH? Told me that the rules did not apply, New Year new rules, but that she was changing them after the fact since no rule change was ever announced.

What you saw was my reaction to a third episode. She had time to change the announcement, but instead did not. Later she told me that she could not take the award away because she had already announced it and thus establish a precedent for that kind of thing. She actually did that on the first event. To make matters worse the review in question was 97 words and said nothing. Even if you are unfamiliar with what shills do, that would still be a totally inadequate review. Gave it 1 point when the rule is that under 150 is ineligible.

Did not read the raffle rules even after she made the first mistake, did not even know about what she had previously posted in the first incident.

After the second incident I disabled my account. I had a change of heart and contacted her to reopen it. She was unaware that it was disabled. A regular here is not noticed?

I am sorry but this is not about cutting someone slack. Edited on Feb 09, 2019, 04:02pm

As long as a review is not tainted by a conflict of interest, such as a quid pro quo that a site be reviewed favorably, free memberships can help make PU better.

I used to Trust the PU site, I do not trust the reviews at all since being under new management. And is why I stopped giving stats and gave a more personal touch.
Which didn't matter, if staff is allowing trolls to openly abuse the site.

Its going to take allot to gain my trust back, gees dare I say I trust Rabbit more? I I think they are hacks.

Perhaps PU is not meant to be, guess we will see but not spending my hard earned cash here until I see results. I have a couple reviews coming from sites I am a member at now, but after that I may stop until things improve.

I hope you still trust the long time reviewers. I know that my reviews are always my own opinions and that is true for at a minimum the reviewers with the most posts.

You can email where it says contact us on the bottom pf the page. Choice two is there a forum thread. Beware though that the thread is sometimes not followed up on.

All sorts of stuff really. I like niches and regular stuff, so I like transsexual, interracial and femdom (not brutal or crossdressing males). But I also like popular content too especially if it supports 4K, as my laptop does have the capability to run it. But above all else, if it's well directed, well produced and at a good price, I'm in. I've noticed that some of the sites I'm looking for don't have many user reviews and some others not even listed. So it would be nice to perhaps fill those gaps when I have the time.


I also like interracial. Femdom and transexual sites are under reviewed here. Ask for sites to be listed!
