Ugh, no I would not say she has a very attractive voice at all. Sorry Drooler, I'm going to have to go with RB on this one. Don't you prefer photos anyway?
Just out of curiosity, did you actually sign up for a full month or just a trial membership? Also a more thorough bottom line would help explain things a little.
I have only been a member for a few weeks so I don't know the historical layout and navigation of 21st but it is currently a main network site with pull-down menu access to the individual sites and then a huge assortment of check boxes on the side for finding what you want; body type, camera position, location type, genre (over 55 choices here), sex type (hetero, lesbian, bi, etc.). You can also look for scenes by model name or using an update calendar, and then sort the results by rating or release order.
My main problems with this newish (might even still be in beta) navigation are the amount of crossover when you search by model and it's not always clear what exactly is in a scene when you search by genre, making you have to browse the photos or watch some video. Clicking on an individual model brings up her page with scenes and photo samples. When you browse all of a model’s scenes you only get five scenes per page and so many of the models have a lot of pages to click through. On the plus side you get video time, number of photos, and a brief synopsis of each scene to help you choose.
By itself Zoliboy may not have the crème de la crème of hot girls but they are not shy is saying so; something like “Normally we wouldn’t hire her, but she does a great fisting scene!” is typical. But the network overall has plenty of choices as far as hot models are concerned (including, as exotics4me would happily tell you, such goddesses as Eve Angel) and other niches are for the taking as well.

Pros:
+ Part of 21st Sextury Network for $30/month
+ Lots of hardcore content without going abusively overboard
+ Newest vids are 1920 x 1080 HD mp4s @ 6MB/s
+ Nice variety of girls; mostly eastern Euro, virtually no American
+ Download speeds rock for me; 1.5MB/s is pretty typical
Cons:
- Oldest vids are tiny 400 x 300 wmvs and somewhat newer are just not very good quality overall
- Too many scenes are broken down into multiple videos without single download options
- This really isn't a photo site; older scenes use screen caps, newer ones use medium size pics (1280 x 850 max)
- Content may be too much for some; body fluid-phobics beware
- Despite the many hot models present, some of the girls are a little too homely for my tastes
- One new update every Thursday
Bottom Line:
I recently joined the 21st Sextury Network of sites--25 "Instant Access" sites for $30/month--and Zoliboy was one of the first I checked out, and I was glad I did. Boy, what a lucky happy pervert! This is the dude I know a lot of men want to be; the young guy who picks up the pretty girls in the park or wherever they hang out, bring them back to his place, and then have a good ol' nasty fuck session with them--and catch it all on tape for the warm memories!
Okay, that's not quite how it really works but that's the 'story' and the setup for the earlier and admittedly very entertaining content on this site. Zoli never comes off as excessively douchey (like so many equivalents and copycats would) or too aggressive (like Mr. Hardcore, inmate #44902-112). Yes, he's pissing in a girl's mouth but she's not crying or getting choked or dolled up like a clown while he's doing it. It's all very hardcore without the typically overbearing wham-bam-fuck-you-ma'am tone and style of so many other sites out there.
The current version of the site still has all these older scenes but it's moved towards a blander hardcore Euro style. Zoliboy may be there in name only as his smiling visage is nowhere to be found in newer releases. Now the scenes are extremely well lit, in nice locations, in full HD (which look great by the way, even with the watermark), and with girl-girl and group scenes being released as well. You still get the earlier Zoli-type content--the toys, fisting, pissing, oral, and anal--but without Zoli doing it to one lucky (unlucky?) model at a time.
I love the HD and the content is pretty entertaining and not as repetitive as American hardcore (at least not yet), but they do like their fetishes and there must be a lot of mopping up to do after finishing these scenes as a result. Bottom line here: if you don't like watching the performers pissing all over the damn set you may want to check out the network's other sites first.
It's impossible to cover any of the other sites in detail here, but the network is a good deal for even just one month where you have your choice of perverted arts from the 25 "Instant Access" sites. There are 40 sites total, 21 of which are considered “exclusive,” and 15 that are “Loyalty Access” (i.e. you get to look when you stay longer than a month). From happy-go-lucky girl-girl stuff (Lez Cuties, Sweet Sophie Moone) to the harder piss/fist/fuck content (Pix and Video, Teach Me Fisting) there's is plenty of filth to explore, watch, sort through, and then watch again (because you know you want to...).
At most a national call to my credit card company, but that was unrelated to porn. If I have had a customer service problem with a site I use e-mail and never even thought of actually calling them.
Canceling an online service provider however(always had to do it over the phone)...holy fuck, worst calls in the world. The assholes on the other end should be working at suicide hot lines--you would die of old age before they let you go.
Clearly Alex knows this is new ground for ALS and thus the "fair warning" comment. As much as I don't want to see boy-girl shit on their site they make it up with the no more lollipop promise. Hooray! They have left the candy store! No more lollipops for 2010 (though the sex toy stores will still get their business apparently). I wonder if any other site would have the guts to say goodbye to their lollipop fetishes. I sort of liked the strap-on scenes ALS did so I don't care too much whether they keep them or not, but I always hated the damn lollipops so this is good news.
I just saw this the other day when I was checking around their tour pages. I was thinking of rejoining but now I don't know--I find all this BTS shit to get irritating, plus the last thing I want to see on ALS is boy-girl material. I always trusted them to be reliably boner-free, but now I have to look somewhere else.
Did Alex say anything in his blog about why they are putting this on their site? On the preview page for the release they said "Trust me, you don't want to miss this one of a kind treat!" but I bet there are more than a few members who could care less. It seems that by now they would have more than enough of their own material to not have any reason to post this stuff from a Club Sandy shoot.
"It depends" because I think it's getting better with technology, access, and choice, but at the same time also getting worse for the same reasons. The economy hasn't helped and it just had to go south right when everyone started to go high def and hard drives started getting cheaper!
Really, it's not? Maybe you don't live in America--land of the free, home of the prudish--considering the way we demonize sex and defend things that do end lives like guns and the death penalty.
"Yes, I sure would"--if I had my own private theater and film projector, though if I was that well off I could probably afford to privately finance my own dirty movies (this is starting to sound like "8MM"...).
But until I get my own theater, no. Isn't this the whole reason they invented VCRs, the Internet, DVDs and external hard drives? People didn't like going to a theater with a bunch of strangers who may or may not have been jerking it, so why would they want to go back? The cost of distribution alone (transferring to 35mm, making prints, the list goes on) makes theatrical releases prohibitively expensive to even the big companies.
Reminds me of an article I read recently about people who were giving up their toilet to go "green", i.e. literally shitting in a bucket. I am not joking, as they think it's best to use a waterless bucket, uh, "toilet." All I could think was "isn't this why we invented indoor plumbing and toilets in the first place, so we wouldn't have to shit and piss in a bucket?!"
Still, it must be something to see a cumshot on a 25ft+ projection screen.
In this day and age Photoshop is inevitable, whether it's cropping, fixing white balance, blurring out the owner's license plate number on the car the model is posing in, and of course the long list of natural skin ailments, not to mention the bruises, track marks, and all the other unpleasant things that get left behind.
But c'mon, what can "pass muster"? I say you better be prepared to go the whole way--no makeup, no hair dye, nail polish, etc. I mean if a hot girl needed to have her appendix taken out, who are we to judge the scar that it left behind? I just don't like the bizarre, over-touched shit that you see on so many sites, especially their intro and tour pages.
Just kidding, but seriously you can't please everybody everywhere, so why bother worrying about what some morons think at a party? And like Jay G mentioned there are plenty of places where everyone else thinks (or has no other choice) that porn is "bad" and sex should be totally expunged from the public forum -- Saudia Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Utah...
I agree with this view most of the time, though a good scene doesn't necessarily have to have penetration or any toys...but it certainly doesn't hurt.
Also, I would be inclined to call these scenes girl-girl instead of lesbian as I think there is a significant difference, especially in the target audience being primarily straight (if still pervy) men, not homosexual women. 'Real' lesbian porn tends to be less of a girl-only interpretation of hardcore porn and more of a focus on intimacy and emotion -- and it can still involve toys.
:0 Lol! Wasn't expecting anyone to say that, as we seem to only talk about the girls shaving and never the guys.
Not to sound weird, but I personally prefer them to be shaven since it's makes them less Hedgehog-ish and more porn star, and I figure if there's going to be a guy there he might as well not be sporting a full bear suit. Though it starts to get a little weird when he's more shaven than the girl -- legs, chest, everything -- as if he competing in the Olympics.
I would say talking all the time as well as hearing direction, but so much talking is just talking, not direction, and serves no purpose other than for some ass to make stupid small talk or add dumb comments -- that's what this site is for!
I have seen quite a few European videos that sounded like they used a significant amount of ADR (automated dialogue replacement) where the talent awkwardly rerecorded their "lines" and a sleazy cheesy muzak track was added as well. It does not always make for the hottest or most natural sounding audio, but the advantage is you don't hear the usual panting, giggling, catcalling crap that is in so many American videos. Seriously, it can be a real treat to watch a video or an entire movie and not hear what should have been left in a BTS video, or better yet on the cutting room floor.
I'm not quite sure what that means but it sounds like my viewing habits. In between rounds I might go get something to eat to recharge my batteries -- never ogle on an empty stomach is what I say!
I'd like to think of myself as a collector but with the sheer number of sites out there combined with the huge number of girls doing very similar acts on so many of them it can become next to impossible to find everything that certain someone has ever done. I therefore have to get choosy: crazy, stupid, mind-blowing one-off acts always get added to the pile, but the more repetitive and predictable stuff, I am sad to say, has to get organized and sometimes deleted.
What I really like is when I find someone with a little bit of material and then I stumble upon something I had no idea that she had ever done or would ever do; like a hardcore scene involving a girl I thought was exclusively solo or girl-girl, or even better, I once found a single photo of a model when she looked to be around six or seven months pregnant -- something that totally blew me away -- and I instantly saved it.
I do seem to have a thing for falling for obscure models who I discover in a single shoot on one site and then they break my heart by disappearing forever. :( No amount of searching and hunting can remedy those lost to the maelstrom of Internet porn.
I own two and they are both still working fine -- a My Book and Passport, both 500 Gb. A lot of WDs seem to have a reputation for behaving like rock stars; fun while they are alive, but short-lived nonetheless. I don't really know what the problem is, whether they have poor quality control standards, or just manufacture so many and their intention is affordability not reliability, or it is something else entirely.
I have read some favorable reviews of Iomega external drives, though they seem to be pricier than other brands. I also own a 4yr old 300 Gb Maxtor (now Seagate) external drive, but it's actually a non-porn drive if anyone can comprehend such a thing. It's kind of nice; an on/off switch, USB and FireWire ports, but it is also a little bulky by today's standards and is pretty loud when I first fire it up.
Where's badandy on this one? I bet he could start a whole site about hard drive reliability and setup. :)
I say "Other" as in all of the above and then some!
Okay, maybe "Ideas for a better sex life" isn't exactly a real possibility right now, plus, as Jay G has already noted, turning fantasy into reality comes with lots of baggage (oh, what fun baggage though!) and isn't exactly the shortest path from point A to point B when it comes to sex. Then again, you can never really travel lightly, so why not?
It sounds like you need to log in, which is why the file is just 'login.php'. I can't remember if you need to enter username and password with the download managers but I am pretty sure you don't. It's been a few months since I was a member so e-mail the site and see if they have a solution. Hope this helps.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that it probably is a lot of fun for fans, but seeing a bunch of bulging bellies worn by a group of creepy guys in even creepier masks is the stuff that nightmares are made of.
Some Muslim countries don't even allow women to drive or show any part of their bodies beyond their eyes -- including the U.S.'s good 'ol ally Saudia Arabia -- so I doubt any porn would be legal in these places, unless it involved arresting women and then stoning them to death for looking at another man.
My biggest fear would not be legality (which is pretty a constant fear with porn no matter who's involved) but safety. You hear about these gangbang contests some female stars do for video and they do indeed include hardcore fans, though maybe not all fans, and blood tests can sometimes become problematic. The industry is largely unregulated in terms of hazards and safety, and what is done is purely self-regulation that is mostly voluntary. In other words, not the most ideal situation in which to 'act' with your favorite star.
If you had nothing but disposable income then maybe making a one-on-one video with your favorite star would be possible, and a lot safer.
I guess we want to get our money's worth from sites and not waste our subscription, though a new HDD is probably a lot more than giving up a membership. I mean really, what other choice do we have?!
