Completely and totally disagree.

If I'm looking at a picture of an actual person, I want the person filling as much of the frame as possible. If they're lying down, that means landscape. But if they're standing, I would much, much, much rather have the shot be portrait than landscape. I shouldn't have to do any extra work with the photo just because you don't like portrait shots.

That would be assuming they regret the tattoo. Which most of them don't (both in porn and in real life). Some might be disappointed by the fact that some companies won't book them (and that's what Leya said exactly, not that she was having a hard time finding shoots but that some companies will refuse to book her, and that's not exactly the same thing). But because tattoos are a personal thing, I think that if you asked many of them if they'd do it again, business be damned, they'd still say yes. Also, may girls see it as if they're already not getting booked for having a couple tattoos, what harm is one or two more going to do as far as that's concerned.

And as far as girls getting more tattoos and coming back, that's an easy answer that's kinda related to the last thing you said. Very few girls retire with a plan to come back. The girls actually get the tattoos after they retire specifically because they've retired and now they can do whatever they want to their body without having to worry about what the fans think about it.

So what you're saying is that girls should be preparing for a career of being naked on camera by not getting (so many) tattoos even though they might have no plans of getting naked on camera at the time that they got them?

Usually, yes, but not always. I mentioned the Colorado movie theater shooter earlier, he lived through his incident.

I don't think gun ownership itself is the problem.


You are right in saying that gun ownership isn't the problem. If you're looking for a long term, this will never happen again type of solution, the real answer is fix how we deal with dangerous mental health issues (i.e. not just drug them and give them a court-ordered shrink to see once a week and send them home). But the gun conversation is much easier to have (and legislate), so it's the one that we usually have. Edited on Dec 18, 2012, 10:15am

I'm confident that a combination of anti-information and press control they could manage that. Especially when the result could save lives in future. They seem to manage to keep enough other secrets.



First of all, that would only work if the shooter died at the end of the incident (and, while most do, it's not a guarantee that they will). Because if they didn't, they'd have to be charged in a court of law, and that would have to use their real name. And even if they used sealed indictments and the like, those things end up leaking (and being reported on) all the time, even though it's a federal crime to do leak them.

Second, even if the shooter did die, at some point they'd have to notify the family of the deceased killer about the incident, so they'd have to have some record of their real name, so it could get out that way. Also, what would you do with the families of the victims? Would you give them the fake name that you gave to the press so they never actually know who killed their loved ones? Would you have them sign some sort of confidentiality agreement and then charge them with a crime if they told someone who killed their loved one? There's just too many people that are going to need to know this information for it to be kept a secret for very long.

No, it won't pass. Tattoos have been around since, well, forever. I could easily argue that they've done nothing but go up in popularity for the past 50 years. But you'll always be able to find girls that don't have any, because there will always be a market for that. But, as much as you may not like it, younger generations have decided that they care less and less about whether or not a girl has tattoos.

Maybe she just likes tattoos and really doesn't give a shit what all of you think about how she looks?

I'm trying not to be mean in what I'm saying here, but saying that some girl you've never met must have a mental disorder is where I start to draw the line.

Obviously it wouldn't work in all cases, but at the moment it seems that walking into a shopping centre or school and gunning down dozens of people is an easy route to global fame. I know a lot of people will probably disagree with this view, but I'm sure that in many cases it's an attention thing.


In today's world of social media, that would never, ever, ever, ever work. The name would get out there (even if it wasn't "the media" putting it out there). And it would spread faster than anyone could stop it. Basically, it would be The Streisand Effect. And what would even be the theoretical punishment for releasing the name?

Granted, you would need a fairly powerful handgun to shoot through certain helmets but a vest to hold ammo can't even protect you from a sunburn.

Regardless, I have my doubts about being able to positively ID a shooter in a dark movie theater, especially if he's wearing all black or looks more like a SWAT member than not, or I'm simply reeling from a gunshot would myself. Your best bet would be if it was one of those more elaborate multi-tiered theaters where the entrances are in the middle of the seats so you could be on higher ground or simply have slightly better cover (though fire codes might mandate doors at the top that someone could slip in through).

I still say these are freak incidents with exaggerated media coverage relative to the danger of ever being caught in one.


Thanks for the corrections. I remember reading the initial stories saying that he was in full bullet-proof armor, but I guess those were wrong (just like many of the initial reports for this story).

Regardless, full body armor can be obtained (over the internet even), so I would imagine that if we had the theoretical of more people owning guns making it more likely that you encounter a gun owner on your rampage, the logical step for the shooter would just be to wear (more) bullet-proof armor when they go to carry out the attack.

And I would argue that the media attention is what it is not because anyone is likely to find themselves in this type of situation, but because these situations seem like they should be preventable, but no one seems to be taking any steps to prevent them (for example, are high schools really any safer now than they were in 1999 before Columbine?)

The Colorado shooter was wearing full body armor, including a bullet-proof helmet. If everyone was packing, that's what would change. Even if someone else had a gun, they wouldn't have stopped him, and there's a good chance they might have hit someone else in some sort of crossfire.

Most sites will allow you to access them from a couple different IP addresses, but throw up a flag if there's a lot of them in a short amount of time (24 hours is the time period I've heard most often). So if the only time you access it is at the original signup, and then give the info to the other person and don't log in again, you shouldn't have that problem.

That being said, I agree with Pat that if you want to do this, the best way to do it would be to give the friend a pre-paid credit card loaded with the amount of money needed to join the site for however long you want them to subscribe.

It would be possible to buy a 16GB version from Amazon and the price is only 180$ but it is currently out of stock and no date is set for when it will be available.
Seeing as they offer the same model in stock for 288$ then my guess is that the 180$ model will never comeback in stock and seeing as it`s the main competitor to their own Kindle then it makes sense.

I currently still have some money from my winning at Amazon so I`d much rather buy it from them since I will save a lot of money doing that then going elsewhere.


After looking around, it looks like Amazon and Best Buy both don't actually sell the Nexus 7 directly. Both companies have a program where they allow other people to sell through their storefront (Best Buy Marketplace and Fulfilled by Amazon), and that's how they're both selling the Nexus 7. Which would explain the mark up. Best Buy might end up carrying it, but Amazon probably won't because of the Kindle Fire.

Edit: And there isn't that much difference between the Fire HD and the Nexus 7 (the biggest being that the Nexus will receive it's OS updates direct from Google and the Fire won't), so if you want to spend Amazon money, I'd just go ahead and get the Fire HD. Edited on Dec 01, 2012, 11:14pm

The $249 Nexus 7 is the 32GB one. There is a 16GB one that only costs $199. I know you can get that one in the US, so maybe you can get it in Canada, too?

I've used a Kindle Fire (not HD) before, and I liked it. It was big enough to hold decently far away and still read, but not so big that it felt unwieldy. If you're going to go for a 7" tablet and don't want an iPad, I prefer the Nexus 7 to the Fire HD, and those are really the only ones worth getting.

This is going to sound like a cop-out, but whichever one the girl prefers. Different girls like to have sex different ways, and some girls like it really aggressive. I have no personal preference of one style over the other.

Here's that argument in a way that actually makes sense:

It's probably the law in California that you have to wear a seat belt while driving a car. But when filming a movie, you can have a stunt man driving a car without a seat belt as long as he's taking the right precautions. So why can't porn performers not wear condoms as long as they're talking the right precautions? Why is it any different? It's not technically a free speech argument, but you're allowed to do certain things that are actually illegal in a movie for the sake of creative expression, and pornographers feel that not having to wear condoms should fall under that line, especially since it isn't something that's illegal in the first place.

That's the second time you've said that and it isn't true. This measure has no jurisdiction outside of LA County, because the people administering it are the LA County Health inspectors, and they have no power outside of LA County. So if you aren't shooting there, you don't have to follow it.

The more recent Julia Bond stuff has a ton of tattoos (I think she may have only shot from Brazzers with that many). Andrenalynn has a nice amount, but I don't know that I'd call it excessive. Same for Scarlett Pain and Misti Dawn.

I never actually used the word results, but I'll clarify the part that you quoted.

First, the industry tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea are both blood tests, as far as I know. So it doesn't matter where you actually contract the disease, it should show up on a positive test around the same time no matter the area of infection. But, basically, what the study Pat was trying to point out says is that most of the time, when they found that performers had these diseases, they didn't present on the pubic region, which is where most people check when looking for signs of the disease. They presented around the mouth or around the anus.

More than likely these people didn't test positive according to the industry database because since those two diseases are completely treatable with antibiotics (at least for now), when they found out they had it, they stopped performing, took the antibiotics, and waited until they got clean before they tested again. So, to extend that logic, if you go by the industry database, then they possibly can say that they have a lower instance of STDs than the general population, but that may be because performers that do have STDs are removing themselves from the amount of people tested for the time that they have them.

And this whole thing brings up a point I've made about how this isn't really about performer safety. If it was, then this is exactly the type of information that they could have given to the industry at large to try to help them improve their testing regiment (okay, let's teach everyone what those two diseases look like when they present orally and anally, and make sure that we check both of those orifices in addition to the pubic area before every scene). Instead, it's used as a blunt instrument to try to force them to wear condoms (proven by the fact that they waited until the week before the election to publish the results).

I'm also pretty sure that condoms are only to be used for vaginal or anal penetration so oral sex and handjobs are not an issue.

I know many people are against this but I've yet to hear one person say that the health of the performer is the reason why they are against it. The only people that seem to mention this do so by adding that testing will stop once condoms are used and that is completely false. Testing will continue and I'm pretty sure that they'll add more diseases to the standard test.

Here's a link to a small interview Mike South did with the author of the most recent STD study on porn performers and it clearly demonstrates that it's a myth that people who do porn have lower instances of std's than average people.

http://www.mikesouth.com/page/2/


You are wrong, it's about where the scene is shot, not necessarily where your headquarters actually are. Basically, if you shoot commercial footage in LA County, you're supposed to get a permit from the county to do so (from a place called FilmLA). And if you're an adult company that wants to get that permit, you have to follow the guidelines outlined by Measure B. So as long as you don't film in LA County, you don't need that permit, so you don't need to follow those guidelines, no matter where your company is headquartered.

And if we want to get technical, I know the study you're talking about, and what it says is that they have a higher incidence of chlamydia and gonorrhea. Both treatable with antibiotics, but that isn't the point. What pornographers generally say is that they have a lower instances of HIV transmission than the general population, which is undoubtedly true and he (nor anyone else) has proven other otherwise. And, interestingly enough, that study also says that the reason that the incidence is so high is because the testing is only done near the pubic region, and their positive tests come from the mouth and anus. Neither of which has to be covered according to this law.

A lot of people are making bold claims about porn going underground or moving out of LA to shoot but I wonder how many of them are doing that out of ignorance. Do these people know that porn is illegal in all but two States. california being one of them and New Hampshire being the other. I don't know but can you name one studio located in New Hampshire? I can't. The vast majority of studios are located in Los Angeles and the vast majority of the people who work and appear in porn live in LA.

I'm sure many studios will try to find a loophole in the law that works in their favor but I kind of feel sorry for them because they will waste huge amounts of money in doing so and will probably lose anyway.

The one that has me really scratching my head is Wicked studio because they came in favor of "No" on measure B and this is a studio that has been using condoms for over a decade. I've heard the expression Do as I say and Not as I do but this is the first time where I see it used in the reverse form.


Getting around it won't be that difficult, they just have to start shooting outside of LA County now. So an extra 20-30 minute drive to set.

And the reason that even a company like Wicked was against it is because in addition to having to wear condoms, now each company that films in LA County will be required to pay for a license given by the Health Department stating that they are following all of the required regulations, which is going to cost thousands of dollars (they haven't decided the final cost of the permit, but the low end of the estimates are about $2,000) and require that you allow a Health Department to be able to come to set at any time for any reason for an inspection.

I almost went once in 2005 (I was there for CES, but didn't have the time to double-dip, as it were). But since they moved it away from CES weekend, I don't know if I'm gonna go anytime soon, because I'm not going to travel to Vegas just for it.

Google is working on an Augmented Reality HUD called Project Glass that would superimpose information over your view of the real world as is relevant. It looks damn sleek but is a far cry from display HD video. Perhaps its development will eventually lead to sleeker video goggles, who knows? One can only hope.


Does it really matter what you look like when the only time you'd actually be using it when you're at home by yourself? In my opinion, the annoying part of the bulk is that it becomes uncomfortable to wear after a while, supposedly.

I had to comment on this part. Becoming a transsexual isn't about what gender you're attracted to, or what roles you like to play, or what sexual organs you like stimulated. It's about what you think your mind tells you about what your gender should be. One doesn't have to have anything to do with the other.

I would think that a some of it is that the film reels/masters have been lost, and the other is that porn DVDs/Blu-Rays really don't sell well at all in this age of internet streaming, even the most popular releases, and it costs a lot of money to fully digitize and remaster a movie like that. Especially with movies like Insatiable where I'm pretty sure the original company that made it went out of business and the rights are probably owned by a holding company, I don't think they're willing to take that financial risk.

Piratebay's issue is that they do not respond to takedown notices. Like, almost never (I think they may do so for child pornography, but that's about it). They even post their takedown notices for the world to see:

I have seen , ummm scenes on one site then on a tube in worse quality. I am sure there is place for porn-tube.
But I do not see much separation from P2P and tubes as they do not seem legit to me. I had dabbled in tubes before but a few malware hits and poor quality and I ran away. Back to the safety of the PU forum


For the most part, the sites are legal as long as they remove any infringing content within a reasonable amount of time after they've been notified that the content is infringing. Due to some parts of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and specifically the Safe Harbor portion, a site isn't fully responsible for what its users upload to it. It was designed to protect sites like YouTube from being sued because users were posting illegal things, but it extends to porn tube sites as well.

Yeah, that's what it means. It's not really an acronym as much as it is an onomatopoeia, with the fapping being the sound of the skin-on-skin contact.

I wish that reddit had a simpler way of distinguishing between your posts and the questions and answers to your posts.

AMAA and fap and other acronyms, you have to be a blogger or something to understand all that internet lingo. Lol.


AMAA = Ask Me Almost Anything, as opposed to AMA (Ask Me Anything)

The contest really is as fair as we can make it. We've had some users think we pick winners based on who we like. Just ain't so ... the way the raffle system works, I couldn't influence the drawing if I wanted to. It's all handled by the system. Each ticket has an equal chance of winning.

All I can suggest is to review the raffle info page:
https://www.pornusers.com/raffle_info.html
... to see how you can make sure you're earning the most possible tickets per week. Don't overlook earning as many badges as possible. You earn a raffel ticket per badge each week you qualify so an extra badge can go a long way towards improving your odds.

We've given away over $50,000 to date. We like to think of it as a tangible expression of our gratitude for the ongoing support of our (great) users.

For what it's worth ... good luck !!


I have absolutely no problem with the fairness of the raffle, and have never suspected anything being wrong with it. I attribute my winning (or lack thereof) to good luck for my first two weeks and bad luck since. My biggest thing is just that I don't join that many sites, so I don't get a chance to write reviews or make comments that often, which are the "best" ways to get tickets since the other ways max out at one per week (plus the badge tickets)

Maybe it's changed since the last one I won, but I remember looking there because of the first e-mail thing happening and it not being there for at least a day. We could always test this by having me win again .

That takes a day or two after you win to show up, though.

I had this happen as well, and actually had to ask them to resend the prize notification e-mail because I never found it (even in the trash). The second e-mail ended up there too, but since I was expecting it I was able to find it there.

And I won twice in my first 2 weeks of being eligible, but I haven't won again since. I still keep entering, though.

One of the reason it might only be finding the tube site level XXX stuff is because many actual porn production companies haven't put up a .XXX domain yet, so the engine has nothing to draw on from them.

That being said, something like this could be useful when searching for a particular girl, or a particular act (which a site like PU is really no good for), but for looking up whole sites, would generally be really lacking.

As has been said, it depends on your TV. MP4 is the file type that is most likely to work, followed by mpg and wmv. Avi files are probably not gonna work, but it's possible possible. If you can find the manual to your TV somewhere, it should be able to tell you the file types that work.

You'd have to pay for new content as you wanted it, but content you'd already paid for would remain permanently available to stream but not download.

Although I'd still prefer a download option, I would consider joining such a site - though it would have to be very hot, and I'd still expect it to be cheaper overall than a download site.


There is a site out there like that, run by Pink Visual. It's called PVLocker, and the biggest issue with it right now is that they don't sell that much content though it (they sell the stuff they make and have agreements with a few smaller studios, but no big ones). And if you're willing to pay a little bit extra per month, you can upload some of the content you already have to the service too.

I had thought it went through a long time ago, as I had been hearing it was a done deal since about last November or so.

I don't see any negative to a business (and that's what porn companies are, a business) joining social media. If their updates on Twitter or Facebook or anywhere else can somehow net them a few more subscribers a month than they had otherwise, I don't see how that's not a good thing for them. And if you think that it doesn't net them subscribers (if they're doing it right), I'll just say that you're wrong.

Also, you'd be really suprised at how open people are willing to be. Lots of people, as a matter of fact.

That's probably why you don't see as many of them today as you did in the past. Nice natural large breasdt like Christy Canyon were perfect for that type of scene. Good luck doing that with Lisa Ann.


You were saying?

There are plenty of examples of women that have implants that make titty-fucking hard. Lisa Ann is not a good example Hers easily have enough movement in them to be able to both pull them far enough apart and push them close enough together to make it work perfectly fine. The girls that have problems are the girls that were A or small B cups before, so they have no give/movement afterwards.

While I agree with the idea of some sort of obvious warning of sites that don't allow downloads, I completely disagree with this analogy. If you've watched the video, you've consumed the content. Doesn't matter if it's streamed or downloaded. In my idea of a "perfect porn world", download only sites would cost less than sites with download options (and maybe even offer an addition pay-per-minute option completely separate from the monthly membership for the people who are literally just looking for something to watch right now and don't need to pay for a full month).

In absolute theory, a MILF should be someone who is old enough to have a child that would be old enough to have friends that would be legal to sleep with. So if a woman had a kid at 16 (the youngest reasonable age I'll allow for having kids), and that kid turned 16 (and a 16 year old kid having 18 year old [i.e. legal] friends wouldn't be odd), then 32 should be the theoretical younger limit for MILFdom.

In porn, though, 30 seems to be the cutoff, but it becomes more about how old you look than how old you are. For example, I've never really seen Dana Dearmond or Bobbi Starr in MILF movies, and both are a couple years older than 30 now.

They allow shop owners to set much lower prices, so maybe as the world becomes aware of that, the market will shift accordingly?


Let's hope. Competition is generally a good thing in business, as long as it doesn't result in a "race to the bottom". Their prices are a little too high for my blood (understandable, but high), so seeing someone allow for more variable pricing so that prices can go lower if wanted would be nice.

Okay, just looked at their website, and while functional, it doesn't look very, I don't know, appealing, at all. Almost like something I could throw together in a couple days. The first thing they need to hire is a new web designer.

You can get over a hundred hours of porn from most porn sites for that kind of money.

I can't even see them offering some kind of deal because the way clips4sale works. The different studios are often mom and pop operations that uplaod their content and make money each time someone downloads their videos. Offering a deal where a member can download "X" amount of porn for a set price would be logistical nightmare


Saying it's not for you is one thing. But to call it a "con", like they're trying to trick people, is unfair to the site and the people that sell videos on it. There's a fully legitimate reason that the scenes cost as much as they do, and it isn't because they feel like ripping people off.

She looked fine before it, she still looks fine now. It doesn't seem to have affected her career much, if at all. She still shoots as much now as she did before, if not a little bit more.

Retired, And yes, it turns out she probably faked having cancer, so she is healthy.

There are laptops where you can switch out the DVD drive and place another hard drive in that spot, though I realize that most people aren't willing to have a laptop that can't read optical discs unless it's designed to be really small, in which case that space doesn't exist anyway.
