I'd guess that more than a few people join sites mid-wank and when they start thinking with their rational minds, buyers remorse sets in. | |

I've seen samples from that site for years but I've never really been very impressed. The standard of women on the site is pretty variable but thats not really the issue, amateur girls is the sites niche. The thing I don't like about the photo samples I've seen is the bland neutral backgrounds which the girls are shot in front of, they do absolutely no favours for the girls. Even worse is the harsh lighting used which is not sympathetic to the girls at all, if they were shot in a nice room with some soft lighting they'd look far more attractive. As it is the pictures are about as erotic as a police arrest photograph. As for nipples and aureoles, I'm not a fan of tiny boyish nips but neither am I a fan of huge plate sized aureoles like say Lindsay Dawn McKenzie has. Somewhere mid-sized is grand although I do like puffy nipples which are quite uncommon, someone like Koika from Met-art would be quite er prominent, Polly B from Met-art is another example. | |

Thats pretty much exactly what I was trying to say. I was being a bit flippant when I said that seeing the girls pussy in detail isn't important, of course its great to see a beautiful pussy but taken in the context of the rules of japanese av and in the context of the movies as a whole that it isn't a deal-breaker for me. Its amazing how soon you get used to the mosaic and how your mind can reinterpret the data its getting. I would hate to have the removal of the mosaic law change the way that av movies are shot. For example my latest av fascination is the actress Rico Yamaguchi, she only ever did 12 av movies but by god she looked so amazingly beautiful getting fucked in each one that its worth putting up with the mosaic. | |

I usually agree with quite a lot of what you say on other threads but I pretty much disagree with everything you just said I hope the Japanese keep making porn the Japanese way and don't bow to pressure from "the West". I don't particularly have a problem with the mosaics, I know what a vagina looks like and I'm not particularly interested in looking at some other guys cock in any kind of great detail One thing that the mosaic does do is that it forces the Japanese directors not to focus on the genitals. One of the most incredibly boooooooooooooring things about western porn is watching minute after minute of a cock thrusting into a vagina. The japanese directors tend to focus on the whole scene more and also and even more importantly they focus on the actresses face more while they're being fucked. The fact that the japanese actresses don't give the trout-pout porn-face that American and a lot of European porn girls do is a big improvement also. Japanese porn isn't just about tentacles or extremity either, there is lots of vanilla porn as well, a lot of it with higher production values than the USA, especially when it comes to labels like Alice Japan, S1 and SOD Create/Star. There is lots of porn where the actresses play the part of the viewers ideal wife or girlfriend, so they make a nice dinner and after are a demon in the sack Another great thing about Japanese porn is that tattoos are pretty much verboten and I can't recall any Japanese actresses with any piercings, certainly no facial furniture and no genital piercings. Japanese porn actresses generally have the bodies of normal healthy women whose boobs maybe sag a bit or whatever. Fake boobs are rare in Japanese porn, even amongst the big boob girls I can think of maybe two that have plastic tits. As regards the men in Japanese porn films, I've seen a few with black or white american actors and they generally act as dumb and assholish in JAV as they do in american porn. Japanese male porn actors seem more like normal guys for the most part, theres less of an emphasis on the guys looking like body builders plus an above-average sized penis in Japan is more like an average-sized penis is in Europe or America so there isn't this thing of the males needing to have 11 inch penises or whatever. I wonder if the obsession with having huge penises in American porn is some sort of repressed homosexual urge or something. Personally I prefer the nakadashi finish rather than the bloke clambering around to pop on the girls tits or face, its a more natural ending to a scene imo so the japanese emphasis on that is fine with me. The bukkake facial stuff I can take or leave. For the most part I gave up on western hardcore about 5 years ago and have subscribed to sites like Actionjav, jsexnetwork and asiamoviepass since, they're all incredible value for money. | |

Agreed. The high pitched whimpering in japanese porn is a bit of a stereotype really, these days there seems to be a loss less of it and most of it that remains seems to be in the school-uniform type porn where actresses are portrayed as being younger. For the slightly older actresses like Yuma Asami they sound more like normal women making normal sexual noises and less like the hyper-agressive shouty banshees you get in american porn. As well as that there is a lot less "porn-face" and mugging to the camera by the actresses which is so irritating in american and european porn. | |

Aye pretty much my view too. In a healthy relationship this type of thing is talked about and boundaries set and whatever happens inside those boundaries is fair game. The problem with typical porn is that there isn't a context to place the what is said in, so we don't know if the girl is actually turned on by the guy shouting "Take it bitch" or "get on your knees whore" or if its borderline abusive. Added to that is the often unnatural setting and the sometimes ludicrous positions that the girls are being made to adopt can take away from the girls dignity. | |

Well DBAN (Darik's boot and nuke) http://www.dban.org/ will thoroughly clean a hard disk but its not something that you would do lightly. It erases all data on a hard disk and overwrites it, once thats done you reinstall windows. Be warned it can take ages, the one time I've personally used it it took about 10 hours iirc. | |

Hi, I went the whole way with method 3 but the infection was dealt with by malwarebytes once I was able to get access to windows (which is the really infuriating part of the virus) Although it was a bit of a pain it did the job and the instructions given on the link were accurate (unlike a lot of software instructions) and most importantly it did the job. At least I have the kaspersky recovery disk now in case I ever get hit by this crap again. | |

This may be one of the reasons that I've turned away from American porn in the last few years and mainly look at european or japanese porn which luckily are not as badly infested with this tattoo plague as the US is. Tattoos and piercing still repulse me and I don't see that changing. It beats me why anyone would want to "enhance" their body in this way but different strokes for different folks an all that I guess. | |

I wonder are they still blaming the floods in Thailand? Maybe, maybe not. I think a real problem in the HDD market now is that there are only 2 manufacturers, Seagate and Western Digital. With such a monopoly, price-fixing is always a danger plus there is no real competition to drive prices down. 6 months ago I built my own computer for the first time and used a case that had the capability for 6 hard drive bays. At the moment I'm only using 3, one has an ssd for the operating system and I have two Samsung F4 EcoGreen 2TB 5400RPM 3.5 Inch SATA-II Internal Hard Drives. They aren't the fastest drives in the world but then they don't need to be as they are just for storage of movies and porn. I bought the 2 drives for £84 each six months ago, I checked amazon.co.uk just now and they are at £92 each. | |

I've had that problem before with both verotel and ccbill, where I tried to sign up to websites while abroad and been refused because the transaction was suspicious or whatever, then tried to sign up to the same sites at home and had no problem whatsoever. I think with at least some of these cases that its down to the billing company. It seems that with some cc processors if the ip address of the computer you're on doesn't match the country that your credit card number is registered in, your signup will be declined. I'm pretty sure its an anti-fraud measure and it may also be a way of preventing people getting around regional pricing issues. Talk to your CC company as GPL said and also get in contact with Verotel, it may be a security measure of theirs that is inadvertently hindering you. | |

Its interesting that Brazzers do use regional pricing but Twistys doesn't yet they are both Manwin companies. Housewifekelly.com is another one to add to the list, it's a great solo amateur hardcore site but it's moved to regional pricing as well. Just for the hell of it I checked one of my old favourite solo-model sites which is loooooooooooooong dormant, Alisonangel.com and not only is it charging regional pricing but its passing off old material as new. When I saw updates there for 2012-09-28 and 2012-09-25 I started thinking "Holy Shit Alison Angel is back???" but then when I checked the set names against my own files, its all 4/5 year old material that their trying to claim is new. Pretty shady move imo. | |

Also your psu may not have the right connectors for the graphics card. I built my current pc about 6 months ago and threw in a Gainward GTX560 phantom 2gb card and it required 2 6 pin power connectors from the power supply unit. There are some amazing motherboards and cpu's out there, I don't regret upgrading one bit. Next upgrade I plan on making is to install a ssd and throw the OS on that, should go like greased stink | |

I'm not talking about Air-brushing models, I'd be against that as well but when someone is going to do a photoshoot or video then a bit of body makeup to hide some spots is no big deal. I don't mind appendix scars or a bit of cellulite or what have you but I draw the line at big angry spots on a models arse | |

I have to agree with that, sometimes HD does not flatter a model. Not only razor burns but pimply arses are such a turn off, especially when so many of the in-out in-out scenes focus on the arse, blecch! I recall, probably at least 5/6 years ago now a video of Faith Lightspeed (aka prolific model Ariel/PiperFawn etc etc) in which she had a massive genital wart, I shudder to think at how repulsive that would have been in HD. The things that would probably work the best in HD are the high-end stuff like Joymii or SexArt where they might at least have a make-up artist available who could use concealer or something to cover up pimples and stuff. | |

Glad you like, her sister was quite nice too http://content.coedcherry.com/princess-c...on/827546/pics14.jpg Most of the content on her site was I think, made around 2005-06 and then she pretty much disappeared, probably made enough money to get through college I guess. Dawson Miller is another girl that had great boobs, the story that she gave is that the content on "her" site was all done in a 30 day period. After the site went up and her family heard about she got christianity and claimed she was duped into the whole thing...yeah right. Still, nice boobs anyway http://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/xvmu...iller/1#video=x5y7ty Alison Angel of course is another girl with phenomenal boobs who went from the solo-model scene after her boyfriend heard about her site lol Rosanna from Abby Winters was another favourite, absolutely gorgeous boobs http://lapcave.com/abby/amateur/Rosanna/images/14.jpg unfortunately she hasn't been seen since AW went to holland. Gabi B from Met-art is another girl with small-ish boobs that had a nice bit of droop http://www.themetart.com/g/gabi-b/fvft/ Alex Sim-Wise and Lucy Anne Brooks from Only Tease are another pair (fnarr!) I can think of with those type of boobs | |

Hey there, I just wanted to let you know (especially the non-US Met-art fans I guess) of what feels like a small victory, albeit a completely accidental one. I was doing a websearch on something unrelated and completely by accident found a link to a Met-Art promotion on one of the websites I visited in that search. There was a blog entry on the site entitled Met-art Network for $49.95 a month. So I went to the link, thinking it might be a scam on for it to go to a proper met-art promotion offering the full Met-art network (including sex-art, TLE and the rest). So I keep going through the sign-up process fully expecting to get hit with the Euro price at the end, but I didn't Not only that but each site is billed separately at $9.95 per month so if I want to drop 1 or 2 sites and keep the others I can, woo! Met-art used to be one of my favourite sites, for a few years I subscribed to the yearly membership at $99 until they went to regional pricing so it makes me really happy to be able to reacquaint myself with some of my favourite models I'm guessing that site rules prohibit me from posting the link but maybe the admins here could include the promotion on the review page or tpb or something. If not then try searching for met-art network july 4th special or something. And I'm sure US metart fans here wouldn't mind some of that $50 action either | |

I have some softcore German films from the 70's like the Schulmadchen series and the Hausfrauen report series but American hardcore films from the 70's do nothing for me. I prefer shaven or neat bush but the rampant tawny undergrowth that many of the 70's chicks kept between their legs is slightly revolting tbh. | |

Big Ben actually refers to the bells inside the tower but over the years that name has commonly come to mean the tower itself. It dosen't matter what official name they give it, it'll remain Big Ben to everyone except some over-officious twats. Its the same as the Willis tower in Chicago....the what? I hear you say? When I went on vacation to Chicago last year everyone still called it the Sears tower and probably always will. | |

I was last a member of Orgymax/Tainster/Whatever-they-call-themselves this week back in September last year. You are pretty much correct in your estimates, a 25 minute HD clip comes in at about 1.25Gb, a medium quality clips about 700mb and a normal quality clip at about 350mb. The HD really does suit the pissing sites quite well, I'd gotten quite disenchanted with those sites around 2009/10 as the clips got kind of lacklustre but the HD really helped out plus they got Bibi Fox back and she really is the Eromaxx piss queen. One of the unwritten rules for female models is that if you appear on a piss site then you'd better be willing to take it on the face and glug down a bit of the golden shower and for a while too many models appeared not to want to go along with this. One of my other favourite regulars on the Eromaxx sites was Tatiana Milovani, she was never afraid to get into the action plus she had a piss stream like a laser beam unlike some who just dribble it out. The best era of Partyhardcore imo was between 2004 and 2007, you were always guaranteed some cute amateurs plus they always had one of their own site models to get the party started. I remember one of my favourite euro big-boob models Petra Mis did a stint on PH in 2005. In latter years it seems like more and more of the amateurs are chubby chicks which might appeal to some I guess. Another issue with Partyhardcore is that with its format of 4 clips of 30 minutes each released at a rate of one per week then if its a bad looking set of girls, your stuck with them for a month. Added to that, the first clip in each "film" has very little sex or nudity as its the male strippers doing their thing to get the party heated up, its usually the 3rd and 4th clip in a sequence which have all the action. As you said its mostly amateurs on PH so part of the fun is seeing them get more and more inhibited as the night goes on, starting off going topless, then getting encouraged to give handjobs and blowjobs, then hopefully getting horny enough to get boinked. As you hinted, part of the advantage of this network is the back catalog of material, with most of the sites dating back to 2004 or so. Even with their slow release schedule, theres more than enough material on their sites. | |

I was going to mention the old Abby Winters actually. Between 2005 and 2007 it was a great site, sure there was a lot of average stuff but the gems were good enough to make the subscription well worth it. Nowadays, I took a look at the new AW site and it just looks generic and all the originality it had is long gone. Girls like Paula, Armine, Chloe B and Rosanna were magic, there was a feeling that the girls were genuine and not just porn stereotypes. There was one series of vids that Rosanna did where she dressed and undressed numerous times with various different bras, panties, dresses, jeans etc, awesomeness One thing I did dislike about AW, as with almost every multi model site is that I would have liked to see the best models more often and not have constantly have average models just because they are "fresh faces". I'd rather see 6 great models do lots of pics and vids for a site rather than dozens of average bored girls. If AW had done a www.paula.com or www.rosanna.com I would have been so all over that its unreal | |

I'd agree with much of what you say, it certainly is tough to find quality these days. I like to see women in good lingerie for sure but even normal everyday panties and bra are fine (as long as they aren't dirty and ratty!) as long as there is a good strip. Only tease is great for this, the major problem with their network being in the name, its all tease and no-payoff, a lot of the girls don't even do full nude. What I'd ideally like is a sort of a hybrid of Only Tease and something like I feel Myself, a good strip followed by a good masturbation scene. It seems though that you either get one thing or the other, rarely both. | |

I think broadening the argument to other products is a false argument. There are tangible reasons for physical items to be more expensive in one country than another. Also an argument like "well we pay more for other stuff anyway" is a weak argument. Porn downloads are intangible items, the cost to send bits to europe rather than the USA are so negligible as to not matter. I don't think local taxes can be used as an excuse either because if the website is paying local taxes then this is already factored into the price that the website charges. The website doesn't collect a higher tax rate off foreigners than it does local customers. If there was a local tax rate of 20% and an "export" tax rate of 30% then I think this argument would have merit but I think as it is the tax argument is a red herring. I think this argument really deals overwhelmingly with sites that originate in the US or that do most of their business in dollars, thus they fix their prices based on the dollar (like met-art). I've found the incidence of Sterling or Euro-denominated websites imposing regional pricing to be much lower than that of american websites, perhaps US members could mention if they've been charged regional pricing by European websites? Perhaps these US dollar websites are under the false impression that Europeans are wealthier than them? Perhaps they've been living under a rock and haven't heard of the "Euro Crisis" (with Spain now requiring a bailout there is a good chance that the entire Euro may collapse). Or perhaps they just think that we are rubes and are gullible enough to pay over the odds for their sites (which clearly some subscribers probably are). I don't see why I should be charged more than an American for no good reason (and there is no valid reason for regional pricing in my opinion) and I don't see why I should be subsidizing other users just because they are one nationality and they are another. | |

Aye, another vote for Openoffice from me, both the excel and word equivalents are good and free from some of the quirks that word has. I used to use word 2003 for years but if I tried to copy in text from a web page that was too large in size, word would crash. I found that if I copied the text into notepad and then into word it would work, it seems like word (the 2003 version anyway) doesn't like dealing with html and will bork itself where openoffice is ok. | |

I'm not a reviewer so I can't comment on that side of it but as a customer, if you look at how a site scores in comparison to sites in the same genre then you quite quickly see how it ranks and you can tell that a site that scores over 80 is worth considering and a site below 60 is to be avoided at all costs. Thus whether a site scores 50 or 0 is sort of irrelevant seeing as how they mean the same thing, certainly for sites that have a good number of reviews, if a site is consistently at the bottom of the rankings then you know what that means. What this rule does avoid is something which can often happen with reviews of products on Amazon, where a customer will give a product a score of 1 because they got something which wasn't what they expected (normally because they didn't read the product details or description) and if a product only gets like 2 or 3 reviews then an unfairly low review can directly affect sales. The vindictive customer is something that you need to be careful of, just as you need to be careful of shill reviews, this site lives and dies by the trustworthiness of its reviews and it generally does a good job of striking a balance. | |

I'd agree with most of that. I hate it when the males in videos talk too much, especially all that "suck it bitch" stuff. Assertive is fine but if they need to give instruction then whisper it or say it in the models ear, we don't need the stunt dick thinking he's the director. Also some actors seem to treat the girls with contempt, they don't seem to realise that the girls are the stars, the fellas are props. Another thing that really ruins things is when the stunt dick starts showboating to the camera. It seems to be particularly prevalent in Eastern European videos, where the guy will start flexing his biceps to the camera while screwing the girl or start doing pushups or something equally as stupid. Theres also that thing where some stunt dicks use positions that are just plain dumb or degrading like when they have the actress balanced on her shoulders with her body straight up in the air and the guys penis is pointing straight down, that just completely depersonalises the actress and makes them seem more like an object than a human being. Message to stunt dicks: Just have sex normally, forget the bloody camera is there, we're not interested in your bodybuilding routines or weightlifting skills, we want to see good-looking women getting screwed. Know your place! | |

Helpfully CCBill make their webmaster configuration instructions public so we can see that CCBill make the options available and its the webmasters that have to choose (I know that this has already been said on previous threads but there is no harm in reiterating it) http://www.ccbill.com/developers/demos.php#admin-demos There is a choice of 3 settings for regional pricing, Daily Dynamic which is fairest and uses actual real-world exchange rates, CCBill recommend which uses unfair rip-off rates and Custom which allows webmasters to set the prices themselves. I had a look at some webmaster forums and although some webmasters thought that it was unfair and refused to use it, some others had different opinions like: (http://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=939760 ) "If the owner of a site you're pushing with regional pricing puts his price on the tour, then he's a fucking moron and you shouldn't be promoting it in the first place. I've NEVER placed a price on my tour....It's my job to sell the customer to the point to get him to click on the join link.....You never tell the price until you absolutely have to and by then, you should've already sold the customer enough to where he/she will accept the price... The other day, I got a $141 sale off of my $99 option....I regularly get $40 sales from my $29.99 option.....Europeans will pay 99 euros just like Americans will pay 99 dollars.....However, the person who has his price on the tour with regional pricing is just shooting himself in the foot." and "I've been using regional pricing on my own site since the feature came out, and it's been great. I don't mention a price on my tour, just tell the customer exactly what to expect. so by the time they get to the join page, there are no surprises." So not only do these two particular webmasters want to rip off non-US customers, they want to deceive them as well. As customers of porn sites over the years I'm sure we've all fallen victim to a scam or two like ye olde pre-selected cross-sale and the dodgy billing companies where its almost impossible to cancel the credit card charge, regional pricing is yet another scam. You learn from your mistakes and as customers if you get stung once you become wary. The porn business gets given a bad enough name by "normal people" and then it goes and pisses off its customers. | |

I could understand if there was a small amount tacked on due to exchange rate difference or something but the differences are often so huge that it can't be anything other than profiteering. One common trick that comes up on CCBill is that if a site advertises itself as $29.99 when you go to the CCBill page to sign up the fee becomes �29.99 which when you convert to dollars is currently about $38.50 but when the euro was stronger a few years ago it used to be about $45. I don't know how much of that $8-15 difference went to the webmaster and how much to CCBill but it was a huge profit on top of the existing profit made per subscription. I guess that CCBill thought that perhaps people were gullible and couldn't tell the difference between euro prices and dollar prices or perhaps they thought that customers didn't care and that their need for porn superseded rational thought and consideration of value for money. Either way its a pretty shady way to do business and shows the contempt that they have for customers. I can only speak for my experiences in subscribing from euroland but I'm guessing customers in the UK, australia and other territories have been treated just as badly. And as someone else above mentioned, this isn't an issue of workarounds, its a matter of principle really. Just because we subscribe to porn doesn't mean that we have to be treated as fools or suckers. | |

I've lurked here on and off for ages but this is something that really annoys me. Up till about 2008/09 I used to subscribe to 4-6 websites a month, then regional pricing was brought in by CCBill at first, then by other processing companies. The massive differences between dollar and euro prices were so high that it was obviously price gouging by the payment processors and webmasters so I subscribed to much less sites from then on, maybe 0-1 sites per month and usually to sites that didn't engage in this practice (which isn't many unfortunately). I did ask one webmaster about this and I explained the reasons that I wouldn't join the site because of the unfair pricing model to non-americans. I should note that I had previously been a member of the site before regional pricing came in. This is the reply I got "Hey, First let me say thank you for previously joining my site, I hope you enjoyed your time with me. As for your reluctance to join a pay site due to its use of regional pricing you will find most sites today use this, not all but most. Those that don't usually apply it to subscriptions that renew automatically after the first month. Anyway I'm sorry you will not be returning. Take care" I didn't pursue it any further because frankly I couldn't be arsed, if a webmaster doesn't want my money then I'm not going to chase after them to make them take it! I don't get why a webmaster would find it preferable to get no money, rather than some money, its not like I was looking for a sweet deal or anything, I just wanted to pay the same price as Americans are paying. I don't see why I should pay more just because I'm in a different geographical location, these are purely digital products/services and the cost of supply is no different whatever part of the world I'm in. | |
