This is really more of an age question isn't it?
My first owned porn video was a VHS tape in the mid 80's. My local video store had a back room and I would buy the videos I really liked. I was given well over 1000 VHS tapes in the late 80s and early 90s as a big family oriented video chain bought out smaller ones and I got the back room inventory that would otherwise have been discarded. I only kept the best few of those though and now all are long gone. Funny to think that I probably have 100 times more HD digital content on a couple of hard drives than I did with many boxes of tapes.

This reminds me of the statistic that says 75% of Americans think they are smarter than average and that 80% think they are Democrats..... Good to know that so far we are honest with others and ourselves here at PU. :-)

Ever notice how movies that you know got bad critic reviews actually have pretty good reviews on Netflix or Amazon? That's because the people reviewing like the genre or subject or cast, chose to watch the movie and in most cases actually paid for them and THEN chose whether they liked it, 1-5 stars. So there is a known psychology about why you might rate a site higher than a reviewer. You wanted to go there and you paid for it. My average site rating is 81.1. Why would I want to sign up for a site that rated less? (Unless it was a new site or I wanted to visit it to write a review...or it had a particular model that I liked...)
What I think is interesting is when PU reviews differ significantly from TBP reviews or when, occasionally, TBP misses some key aspect of a site that makes it better or worse. At the end of the day, TBP writess professional reviews and gets revenue from referrals. Reviewers at PU, although we do occasionally get rewarded for our reviews in the weekly drawings, generally are not professionals and don't have anything to gain from our reviews other than letting people know the good and bad about sites. As the cyber porn Neighborhood watch, I'm not sure anyone is really expecting our reviews to be spectacular, just honest.

I started buying annual subscriptions for my favorite sites and have maybe 8 now (Met Art, Femjoy, Hegre, Watch4Beauty, MPL Studios and some VR sites)..about the same money as I would have paid for a year of monthly subscriptions for just two sites (2x $30 avg x 12 mo=$720 vs. 8 x $90 avg=$720). Oddly, that still leaves enough $ to visit other sites for a month. So right now I probably have subscriptions to 11 or 12 sites including a couple of sites thrown in for free with longer term subscriptions (i.e. Playboy and Naked News for a free month with the $99 lifetime subscription to Mr. Skin). Damn, that seems excessive...but after spending over $100 a month on just 4 sites a month for over a decade, I finally decided to see if I could be a little smarter (and honest with myself) about it. The trick is waiting for the deals on annual subscriptions.

I was once asked if I wanted to invest in a then-popular strip club. I thought about it and decided to pass. The club was gone a year later.
Producing a quality web site these days takes money. A lot of money. And the revenue stream is only as good as the continuous flow of content. Now, if somebody asked me if I wanted to invest, say, $50k in Met-Art, I'd think about it after seeing the books.
And the term "owner" here is a bit of a misnomer. There are really not much in the way of assets to own. All the physical or virtual assets are leased, the talent is contracted and everything, even the content, has roughly a 5 year useful life. It is a business.
That said, if you know of a site that scores 90 or above here on PU that is for sale with management intact, I'd like to know about it. I was lucky enough to retire very early and could always use another hobby with the potential to break even.

I have used email, phone and live chat but prefer live chat followed by phone. Most of the better billing sites have live chat and several of the better porn sites do, too. My biggest issue is always with account logins while I am travelling.

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale literally 3 blocks from the beach and I spent a lot of time there. Because of the times and the location, I grew up thinking EVERYONE under about 40 was fit, sun-bleached and tanned. (I looked like Peter Frampton back then...complete with the long hair.) College in Florida was the same way. I honestly don't remember any overweight girls and only remember 2 guys, frat brothers, that were overweight. I truly didn't know any better. Then I lived in Atlanta, where the refined, poised, well coiffed blonde southern-bell type altered my views of beauty somewhat. After that it was a 20+ year stint in Pennsylvania where I coined the term "Pittsburgh-10" which means a 6. Average age there is about 60 and nobody is even remotely fit.
So historically, I'd say the fit girls of my youth influence the definition a lot. (Look up Gabby Reese at 22...like that.) But I do think there are a few models in porn (on Met Art or Femjoy) that could stop a 747 in mid-flight with their looks (because everyone would want to get a better look)...even with their clothes on.
Oops. Another novel. I guess I pick "Something else"

Even when I'm scanning and only downloading the things that I want, I have hit limits on a few sites, mainly In The Crack. I also think that sites that sign you up as streaming only without telling you are pretty much committing fraud. That includes Playboy Plus, Twisty's and a bunch of other sites managed by the same sleazeball company. Fraud. The expectation is that you will be allowed to download anything you "see" unless specifically told otherwise. Limits are one thing. Bait and switch is fraud.

If the choice were porn or regular/cable TV, the only thing I would actually miss would be the news. But there are a few good movies.......

POV and, of course, Virtual Reality didn't exist a few years ago. Those two things have transformed porn into a much more personal experiance for the viewer. The sheer volume of porn today means that there are also genres for every taste from traditional to literally whatever you are into.
On the other hand, I agree with Drooler about the extremity of sex today. (I admit I had to look up Gonzo and apparently not all dictionaries agree on what it is...). Some things, like anal sex, have become way too common on mainstream sites. I agree that the white background thing is annoying, but it seems to be passing. Tattoos? It is a generational (and partially socio-econimc) thing that, unfortunately, will always be more acceptable for younger generations than for older ones. But the tattoo industry has grown tremendously in the past two decades and probably won't go away any time soon.
...I digress. Quality, quantity and variety today are generally better than ever.

I have a routine that includes checking sites for updates and it seems that I do this pretty consistently. The weather (or season) probably has the biggest impact on surfing frequency. Nice weather means I'm off doing something else. Cold outside? More surfing.

It is sometimes fun to hear the lead-up, especially when it is something you can actually fantasize, but there are limits.

I think an answer that is missing is "I just go where the surfing takes me" I sometimes start on Reddit and just browse around until I find something interesting with a watermark on it, then I go to the watermark site to see what it's about. I have found some really interesting sites that way.

There are several videos on my favorites list where the girl un-mounts the guy and cum drops out of her. To me, this is the ultimate straight male "mission accomplished" ending.

I picked feet also, but I don't like seeing bolt-on boobs, belly fat, puffed up lips or bad tattoos. I prefer girls without any tattoos but I also have to admit that sometimes really great tattoos contribute a lot to a girl's mystique.

I'm going to say site previews first, then PU review (if any) then TBP reviews. Sometimes, I'll see a site review on PU or TBP that will make me go to the site and look. And sometimes, I'll see an interesting image or model on a site like Reddit and go to the site to look, then PU and TBP. Any site that doesn't have at least some representation of what is in it usually gets an immediate pass.

I think it is fairly normal for men to look at porn but I do not broadcast it to anyone. The way the opinions and norms change in the US today, you never really know if something that is marginally acceptable today will get you fired from a job or denied credit 20 years from now. I'm not a public figure, but you never know what somebody might dig up at some point in the future.
For the most part, sex is the 4th conversational taboo behind politics, religion and money. I share those 4 topics with a very small group of friends and relatives and we rarely agree on any of them.

I'm a straight white guy. I watch VR porn all the time. It is VERY realistic and often your body just sort of aligns with the male in the video. Then I look down and go "Holy shit, look at the size of my dick!" or "Holy crap" look at my giant tattoo?" or, occasionally "Holy crap, I'm black!" So, yeah, the aesthetics of the male performer are very important in a VR setting.

For solo sets, I'm going to say in and out of or near water. That can be a tub, pool, wet-studio set or beach. For sex scenes, the bedroom is the place to be. For VR stuff, a Chaise lounge or bed is the optimal setting.

This will sound odd, but do you remember the last time you went out on a first date and it went well? There was sort of this positive anticipation vibe. Remember it? It was kind of euphoric. I am pretty sure there is some kind of endorphin that gets released when we see a really beautiful, fresh, new model and that we are constantly looking for new faces or sometimes new sets of favorite faces in part to experience the release of that endorphin again. Regardless of whether there is...um...gratification involved, looking at gorgeous faces and bodies makes us sort of high.

Halloween has always been a big holiday for me and I live in a neighborhood where we get between 300-400 trick-or-treating kids, so I go all out. There are also a couple of parties that I enjoy every year.

Television really sucks these days and I just don't have time for it except for watching the news in the morning. Even the DIY shows are getting crappy. I would have turned it off long ago if my wife wasn't addicted to a bunch of shows.

I'm also a long-term member of Met Art. Beautiful young models, no ink, etc. Vixen has recently joined my list of good sites, although they only update once a week. The POVD network is up there. And lastly, some of the VR sites are getting much better.
