Assuming it is a rather large gallery, I'll usually pop through the gallery looking at a few random pages to get a feel for the content. If I love the content I'll go back to the first page and look through it, image by image, in order, from beginning to end. Then I'll go to the model's page, assuming the site is set up in that manner, and save a bookmark to download all of her content at a later date. Sadly this often builds huge bookmark folders meaning I have a hell of a task in front of me once I decide to download the content. For example, I'm finally archiving ATK Natural and Hairy - the bookmark folder consists of 272 models. Since I have to make a folder for each photo set, download and assign a thumbnail for the model's main folder and then assign a preview thumbnail for each set... this could take a while.
Great review, thanks - as a photo person, I may have to check out this site.
As for why some of us are bothered by pregnancy?
Ever seen the Chest Rippers from the Alien movie series? Just replace the fanged insect/snake with a really fat, tiny ape and make it scream like a wounded rabbit. Now put it inside the lower abdomen of another person. Have it twist, move and parasitically feed off that person - getting stronger and larger, month after month, forcing the host to consume more energy due to the added weight and because their blood system is feeding another being, like a tape worm, but more intimate. It consumes for almost a year and then it needs to leave, making the host's body an accomplice - but sometimes the host isn't fit enough (too small, too inflexible, too weak, et cetera). Sometimes they won't survive. So doctors try to help. They cut the host open, straight through the belly. They reach in and pull out this writhing creature and sever its connection with the host. Even with a successful breach from the host, the flabby, screaming parasite squeezing out through the sexual genitalia of the host, the parasitic relationship isn't over. The host's body is altered to lactate and feed the parasite for even longer - as if feeding from the blood stream wasn't enough, the parasite is now feeding off liquid expelled from the host's body. The real horrifying aspect for me, is that the parasite doesn't need the womb to survive, any good blood source will do fine. Hosts unfortunate enough to have a severe ulcer on the womb, puncturing straight through the wall of the womb, have had a fertilized egg attach itself to a very good source of blood: the heart. Aesthetically, the skeletal stance of the host changes - the hips widen, the center of balance is adjust to account for the weight - the host is physically altered not just in shape but in movement. All these things combined make pregnancy not the most erotic of visages for me.
I understand others talk about a "healthy glow" or the "miracle of birth" and so on - I understand it is a fetish for many - but in isn't for me. I do believe it would be awkward if a long-term lover of mine became pregnant. I would fully support her if her decision was to keep the child and I would take care of her and the parasite, but once it was large enough to change her physique, coitus would be much more difficult - especially oral administration to her. I fear my vivid imagination would ruin much of that. Hopefully we'd be smart enough to find solutions, maybe the furry scene so coitus would be performed in full body costumes...
I used to use Yahoo! anytime I was looking for an official site, like a company website, but Google has improved their results so much that most engines just pale by comparison.
Well, it has been almost a year since I was a member, so if the models have gotten more bottom of the barrel, that is unfortunate indeed. I'm surprised about the comments on the video quality, as I recall that being pretty good - near DVD quality but of course not HD. Some sites improve with time, others diminish.
Anyway - please post a full review, I'm sure other users would love an update on how much content is available and a different person's opinion of the site.
Pidgin. I used to use AIM exclusively, but as people started diversifying their preferences for IM systems, I needed a program that could interface with them all. These days, that program is Pidgin.
Despite videos taking up the bulk of my dedicated porn file space, I must say that I'm a photo guy at heart. So, assuming the site has photos, I'll gravitate to those first. Photos or Videos, I always traverse a site's terrain via the models. My entire collection is organized by site / production company first and model name second (preferably with a head shot to accompany the name) - so naturally it is by model name that I explore the site.
If you are planning on joining I'd recommend observing the site for a while to see if it goes through that site update they are promising. Just don't want you to jump on the band wagon only to realize it was upgraded to a coach a few months later, lol
That is a valid point - essentially the decision has already been made. I'll have to reconsider my score, perhaps it needs to be adjusted. Hell, I've been planning on adjusting all my scores to a less finite measurement anyway - maybe now is the time to do that :-P
Well thanks for sticking it out, many people run away from arguments (discussions, debates, et cetera) these days - it is always nice to run across other people who enjoy the activity. I'll admit I often have the habit of arguing another side just for the sake of arguing, it isn't in my nature to concede an opposing party's argument :-D
Assuming the raffle's engine truly random, I see it as perfectly fair. To earn tickets you need to be writing reviews and actively participating in the Porn Users community - limiting users from winning multiple weeks in a row punishes the most active members.
If popular opinion dictates that people shouldn't win multiple weeks in a row, I think their tickets should roll over to the next week. That'll keep infrequent reviewers like myself from holding off on a review just to make sure the tickets it generates actually count. While I don't actively hunt for tickets, I'm sure as hell quite aware of them.

Pros:
* Mindy is very energetic; loves to perform for the camera
* Mindy loves facials and is apparently married to one of Peter North’s relatives – the facials are quite impressive
* Mindy is petite, very fit, and has a beautiful eastern European face
* Mindy has an impressively long set of labia
* Mindy is skilled at deep throating, performs anal and sometimes performs with women
* 177 Videos
* 65 Photo Sets
* Newest videos look excellent in HD (1280 x 720, 4200+ kbps)
* Newest photos are large (1229 x 819)
* Most of the content features Mindy with her original, small, natural breasts
* Multiple video formats for all videos
* Uses CCBill for billing
* No DRM
Cons:
* Atrocious update schedule
* Most videos use sub par bit rate (640 x 480, 1414 kbps)
* Some videos are segmented into parts (most are one large file)
* Photos tend to be a bit blurry with mediocre lighting
* Most photos are only 640 x 480
* Half the videos are only 320 x 240 (229 kbps)
* Mindy upgraded to larger breasts a few years ago
* Old site design
* No search engine
* As an amateur site, most of the videos don’t have a camera man, so expect abrupt cuts and long, unmoving takes
* Watermark on video and photos
Bottom Line:
Yummy Mama has excellent content provided in sub par video. The video resolutions can deceive as half the videos on the site are 640 x 480 or better, but the bit rate is too low – thus the videos don’t stand up to full screen viewing (read: blurry). They recently purchased an HD camera (1280 x 720) and the newest content looks beyond DVD quality – but only three videos are presented this way.
The next problem is the dismal update schedule. Mindy took a long hiatus, rendering the site stagnant for awhile. In 3 months, I saw only one update - over a month ago. It stated that they are working on a “whole new members section” that will herald her full-time comeback and will contain: “[i]a classic’s section with never before scenes from my teens, HD videos, Instant webcams shows with me, voting, a members forum, comments and ratings[/i]” We’ll see if that really happens.
This site is primarily a video site. It has a photo gallery, but mostly of small, softcore or dildo-play content. Plus the photo quality and lighting leaves a bit to be desired. No zip file downloads here either.
The site design is late 90’s – easy to navigate but rather ugly. There isn’t a search engine, but thankfully the content is sorted descending from newest (post dates aren’t listed). Multiple formats for the video downloads are offered, even the oldest videos, and the latest videos support both large HD video and small PDA / iPod compatible formats. 12 of the videos are even available in streaming Flash format.
So you ask: What is the appeal of this site?
The answer is Mindy and her husband. She is exceptionally good in front of the camera – visibly enjoying the attention and loving to perform cheesy role plays with lots of erotic chatter. She has an impressive physique, is quite petite and has a beautiful face. She also has a wonderfully vagina with especially long labia. Sadly she got herself new breasts a few years ago, but they are almost reasonable in size, so she is still very attractive. Mindy is also quite skilled at her trade. She is a talented deep throater, performs anal sex, cream pies, and occasionally performs with other women as well.
The other part of the equation is her silent partner. Her husband generally never speaks and a superb talent: The man rains down an impressive storm of one-man Bukkake on Mindy in nearly every scene. The site is by nature amateur, so usually there isn’t a camera man: Expect abrupt cuts and long, unmoving takes.
I hope that Mindy comes through with her promise of a new & improved site, returning full time with regular updates. I’d love for them to go through their archives and update the old video to better quality transfers. Even in its current state – I think it is worth a one month visit if you find Mindy as attractive as I do. If the changes come through, I may revisit in the near future.
I agree, one could worry about a slipper slope mentality to separating site niches to be rated amongst themselves - it could quickly become confusing. However, there is a single difference between the adult 3D games and the other sites reviewed on Porn Users that I believe negates this argument. The games are an entirely different medium, sure both can be viewed on a computer monitor, but the games are an interactive experience that requires user input. If there were more companies dedicated to producing adult games, I would recommend that sites like 3D Sex Games not be allowed to be review on Porn Users as it isn't a passive entertainment medium, like videos, photos and stories. That interaction that changes the experience at the users request makes it in many ways tougher to review.
I will grant you it is related, you are still viewing porn, but I think the experience is significantly enough different that it makes it quite difficult to compare. Separating "ATM from Anal", as you suggested is like saying you only review Hollywood comedies and not SciFi, or station wagons and not sedans (estates and not saloons, for our UK members). They are the same medium and narrowing down by niche that much on a user review site could be trouble.
Still, it is difficult to decide where to draw the line. For at the same time, despite being of different mediums, both an adult content website and an adult video game are trying to provide you with pornographic entertainment, so in that sense they are related. How they try to entertain you is significantly different, but the goal is largely the same.
On the other hand, I suppose I may have simply enjoyed messing about in 3D Sex Games more than you did. As you said - that is what the site is for. I hardly think the game is perfect, but I do think it is quite a laugh and a great time waster. I've said in the past that the numeric score is the most dreaded part of the review for me, I fight with myself over it for hours - in the end, perhaps I got it wrong on this one. I don't know. I would recommend the site to most people, but I'd certainly recommend MET-Art more. It is tough - I wish we just used a bloody 5 star rating system, lol
I'll agree with you that the human reaction to the animation and design of the models is better in Active Dolls - they are simply far more endearing. At some points the models and animations of 3D Sex Games suffers from falling into the Uncanny Valley. I had latched on to your statement of the "3D Game Engine", which generally ignores the aesthetic of the animation and model design, instead referring to the technological architecture that makes it possible. In that regard I would say the games are relatively equal - and far surpassed by 3D Stripper.
As for the rating, I personally see this as such a different animal from other adult sites that it seems difficult if not impossible to compare it with the likes of VideoBox or MET-Art. How does one give Pac-Man a rating in relation to Ghost Busters the movie? Both have plots involving the removal of ghosts, but they are so different that the scores wouldn't make any sense. "Buy a Ford Mustang, it has more moving parts than a banana."
I believe that if a user is contemplating joining a 3D adult game site - they are looking for just that, a fully interactive 3D game, not just any form of adult entertainment. In that regard I think both 3D Sex Games and Active Dolls are among the best available choices and deserve high marks.
I've used 3D Sex Games for years, so the control issue was never an issue for me, but I see how it can be deemed confusing. However, of all the sex simulation games I've encountered, I personally found it to be the best. With only the mouse, you can control every aspect of the game. Moving / rotating / zooming the camera, switching poses, modifying the speed of the action (or directly controlling it) - all these can be done on the fly without finding any keyboard keys. There is a bit of a learning curve, but compared to other programs that have the characters trying to walk around or keys needing to be pressed in conjunction with mouse movement to simply zoom out - I find 3D Sex Games' control system far superior.
I would agree that the animation leaves something to be desired, especially facial animation - it is all hand animated, and while that provides a certain fluidity to the repetition of the action, it doesn't provide it with as much natural movement. Mo-cap might aid it, though I've seen mo-cap fail as well.
I've very surprised to see your preference for the graphics provided by Active Dolls. Their models are far stranger looking - not remotely human (more Anime styled), it only supports 4 different video resolutions (1280 x 1024 not being one of them) and texturing and lighting are quite simplistic - I would say on par with 3D Sex Games. I would totally understand if you stated 3D Stripper had a superior graphics engine, as it does. Projected shadows, bump mapping, a 3D model body & face designed by the same guy that designed the faces for Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. That game has many problems of its own though.
I guess I see 3D Sex Games as having the largest selection of options and activities of all the games while having reasonably good graphics and a somewhat regular update schedule. All in all, in my opinion, this makes it the best of games available and I graded it as I did in relation to the performance of its peers.
Meh, so much of this question depends on what type of person your boss is and what your relationship with them is. My current boss has asked the question and gotten an honest response. This is because of the type of person he is though. The first time I went to his house (for the annual company x-mas party) there were Peter North DVDs sitting on the TV in the living room. One could say our company doesn't have the normal, political correct atmosphere due to our boss. He often amuses himself by very loudly reading out the content of the most graphic porn Spam he has received that day. Of course, stuff like that is one of the reasons we try to make it very clear to him when walk-in customers are in the building.
So my answer with this boss was a simple "yes" - but with other bosses, I might have to pussyfoot more. In America's culture, it is still a rather taboo question, so if a boss were to broach the subject, I think it is rather telling about that person. If the boss is a woman - I'd disagree with Monahan's contention that it could be a sexual harassment situation that would get the employee fired, more likely the other way around - as the question states that it was the boss asking and on lunch break. Granted the no comment answer is safe enough, though will be seen as passively answering the question with an affirmative. I tend to be a rather honest person (I generally only lie for entertainment), so I'd still probably say yes - and because I'd be very curious as to why the question was being asked.
Still though, it very much depends on the person asking and the type of company and so on. If I didn't trust or like my boss, I might say no to simply kill the conversation.
Overlap of models or of actual photosets? I've been a member of both sites simultaneously in the past and only saw overlapping of models. If they've started overlapping sets, well, that is a sad thing.
No, he has many different series - though most of them are shot in a POV format. Usually the series are based on some sort of basic (usually silly) fantasy - babysitter, how to pick up girls, a model shoot that goes a bit farther, so on and so forth. Mr. Moore is pretty amusing so the videos are usually watchable, though frequently odd.
The main issue I had with his site is that it was incredibly confusing to navigate and the video quality was often rather low and only available in segments.
Porn Stars have a tendency to just vanish from the scene all of a sudden, so I don't bother specifically hunting for certain models anymore. I certainly do remember many and will download them right away if I happen across them, but I search for sites whose content in its entirety attracts my attention.
Unfortunately I no longer have an active membership with them - so I can't check to be 100% sure, but if memory serves, in their big ass list of random categories they had a natural or real or something like that category. Now whether or not models were correctly placed in it, that is an entirely different matter. I know they weren't exactly consistent on other categories :-P
Good point. The implants aren't necessarily silicon; I got a bit overly specific - some could be Saline or perhaps something all together more alien. I did go through the models and count exactly how many of them were specified as natural - thereby getting the 84% figure. I just wanted the readers to realize that you are getting a lot of bottle blondes and a lot of surgically augmented bodies.
While I love the enthusiasm present in models from American mainstream porn - I personally don't like severely altered physiques that chase the Barbie ideal. I don't mind tattoos or piercings (sometimes they are awesome) - but enhanced breasts, noses, chins, et cetera - can make for some unnerving results and almost always diminish the model's beauty in my eyes. I think Jeremy Clarkson said it very well in last season's Top Gear:
"Mind you as Francis Bacon once said 'There is no beauty that hath not some strangeness about its proportions'. And he's right, whoever he is. I'm mean, look at Keira Knightley: She's just an ironing board with a face, and she works."
Don't worry - if they could replace Lloyd Bridges' tongue with one supplied by a Labrador Retriever, I think they can do it for your nose. They have the technology. They will rebuild you.
