No, and I don't mind either. Yeah, I'm spoiled by all the HD available (usually coupled with a terrible soundtrack of some sort), and I haven't even seen an actual porn film, at least not in a theater, only as they look after transfer to a DVD or uploaded to the web.
And thanks to "8mm" I really don't want to see any actual film footage...
Rocco Siffredi, the Italian Stallion, is one of the few living male legends in porn. He is comparable to Peter North in the U.S., but with a few mainstream credits to his name, along with a more aggressive approach to his "acting".
Thank you. I think you already know the answer to your question; you asked me about them just the other day concerning their content. Maybe its my favorite site because it was my first...whatever the reason, I still love it.
Overall I would say "better than it used to be," thanks to numerous improvements in technology over the past twelve years since my first join (thank you high definition!), plus lots more content, models, ideas, etc.
Of course, there are a few problems:
First, the site has either gone softer or harder since your first subscription. You could blame this on the need to stay in business (see below), but if you join a site and love its content, your feelings could be hurt when they trash it up or bring it up from the gutter. Sticking with a proven formula seems to be a big challenge for too many sites there.
Second, it has gone on to porn site heaven (which probably exists deep within badandy400's hard drives), and will probably never be heard from again. I understand saving the American auto industry is important to some people, but who cares when our favorite sites die? Where's their bailout? I am not sure what would be worse here though; a site stops producing new content due to economic reasons, or radically changes its content to stay in business.
Third, and in my view the most important, you just can't replace that first paysite. It is like your first car, or first kiss, spanking (giving or receiving), girlfriend/boyfriend, sexual experience, spouse, etc. This also applies to the first time you join any new site you quickly learn to love; every subsequent subscription, no matter how great, will never feel the same as the first.
Great poll question! Brings up some of the few positive memories I have of the '90s.
Looks cool, hope someone joins and does a review soon.
The only thing I didn't like was the way Nella (from ALS Scan, Met Art, Sapphic Erotica, etc.) looked with her jet black hair with bangs. I can't stand bangs! They make models look more like fake, plastic porn actresses than horny girls next door.
Well, as far as extreme spreading goes, it really depends on the model, but yes, generally they do it with fingers, not just toys and "devices". I would say about 90 to 95% of models use a speculum, and a few just choose not to, but the vast majority of them do use it in at least one scene. They all use toys (who doesn't?) and fingers, though I would say toys and other insertables get the maximum effect for the "quick pullout" shots they like to get, that is, where they get a temporary gape. :) And they love fisting, though that seemed to be tapering off slightly when I was last a member (December '08), but there is still plenty of it there.
As far as ALS Scan vs ALS Angels goes, yes, it is pretty much petite (regular ALS) vs thick and busty (Angels), but it is a subtle difference unless you are into breasts. Older models -- say, from 1990s through early 2000s -- with big breasts (C and up) are on ALS, but after that, they are primarily all on Angels. A few of these Angels girls made it to the regular site for some girl-girl shoots and an occasional Caribbean trip -- like Carli did for their 2007 Caribbean trip -- but they stay mostly on ALS Angels.
If you haven't been a member of either, and big breasts, or lack thereof, aren't a big deal, then I would recommend ALS Scan first. Yes, it is five dollars more, but there is so much more content there, due to archiving that goes way back, plus most of their content goes there, so they have more regular updates.
I hope this helps, but I haven't been a member in seventh months :( so maybe starting a comment and asking for a second opinion would give you a better idea, as I am sure some of our regulars are current members.
Karupspc looks like it has way to many Euro models for my tastes, so I will say this about Nubiles: they have more American models than I was led to believe, and to me that is a plus.
Wish I had read this before I recently joined. Yes, they have beautiful models, many shot in HD and in professionally done photography, but all without the passion!
I know they have toys and some hardcore, but it is all so bland and boring to me. The sheer number of girls actually makes it worse, because they have applied this formulaic blandness on a mass scale. It seems like every single girl will engage in similar acts, poses, and even in bio responses.
I am going to wait at least another week before I do a review, but my hopes are not very high at this point. :(
I don't really think he is a jerk, he seems to just come off that way in your review, which I thought was quite funny, especially the fifth and sixth pro points. I find it funny when he is selling a pill, or giving advice on how to pick up women...when he is a porn star! All he has to do is go to work, and never change his identity.
I am not sure if it is him simply being a reliable legend, or just a sort of sideshow/freak act attraction to his up-gunned cumshots, but the ladies do seem to love working with him, and he comes off as quite civil in his scenes, at least compared to the more abusive fare now offered. Oh, and his hairstyle from the '80s was great, he needs to bring that back!
Yeah, this has happened to me as well, or it took way too long to get them back. I have lost a couple of great DVDs this way (moment of silence, please).
We love having new users, especially if they genuinely want to contribute to the site, so welcome to PU! This sounds like more of a review than a comment, so consider doing a review.
On that note, mbaya's review from a few months ago (currently the latest one on the InTheCrack page) is a fine example of a good review in length and style, though different opinions are always welcome and acceptable. So feel free to to do a full review (here's the forum on what a PU review should include), but we do prefer that members justify their scores and opinions, rather than just hating/loving a site for no reason.
Great review, and you came up with a ton of pros, considering the score. I can't imagine joining a guy's site, plus your review makes him sound like kind of an asshole, or at least a guy with a lot of ego.
Is it just me, or does his photo on the site look like it was Photoshopped? Supposedly he is addicted to working out, and he does look like he is in shape in his videos, but that photo looks terrible, as if his head was just pasted on a different pic of his body.
If only it were true...but I am afraid not. Her shoot with ALS was back sometime in the fall of last year; I don't remember the exact date, but it was in the fall. Her recent announcement concerning her health is dated April 8th of this year. :(
I only hope that she just hasn't updated her site with some good news since then.
I agree with you here, even if "chaotic" is not the right word; maybe "non sequential" is a better term.
I would like them to at least once -- just once is all I ask -- select a new model, without previewing her to members, and release all of her material, and in order. And all of it would be released within a short time period, say a month, no ifs, ands, or buts. Then, since everything seems to be based on what members say, see if this even popular, or if they should just stick with the current system.
Personally, it is one of my pet peeves concerning the site. I know I didn't mention in my review a year ago, but I did when I reveiwed ALS Angels, where they do the exact same thing. I just know there is more material out there, because the webmasters say there is, and some models have little content posted, but I also know all of it won't necessarily get released anytime soon, if ever. I understand they want to please the majority of members, and therefore what and who wins the most votes will see the light of day, or members' area of the site (no wonder I hate democracies...), but it's got to be irritating if you always vote for models/scenes that don't make the cut, so to speak.
I am afraid I am part of that 1% (if even that) that you mentioned, so don't worry, you're not alone here. I also miss their somewhat harder stuff, rather than the focus on glamor and tease, among other things.
That's a good point, though I would say that the set of a film does not count as society -- at least as I read it in the poll question -- plus, it would be hypocritical for them to look down on her simply because she does most of her fucking on camera. The entertainment industry is pretty open-minded; I mean, as long as you don't murder anybody, you can still enjoy success and a measure of respect.
Me personally, I don't care what anybody does, just so long as they do not think they are somehow really better than anyone else.
I can't think of any porn stars that have good role models or done something positive, but I guess it depends on how you define it. I would say that few others, at least those with any amount of fame or wealth, have really done anything positive, or even acted as good role models.
Of course I am pretty cynical, and I think we are all just a bunch of animals, so the idea that somebody is really that good or positive is just nonsense to me.
Yeah, 'Papa Bear' Bill is unprofessional, and quite rude to many of his guests. I do not count myself as a fan of Jenna (just read the replies to our previous poll), but the fact that her answers were so far from what he wanted to hear was entertaining to watch. Maybe he was just pissed off at her for being a successful woman?
Sounds like just another anally-themed site, though with a great name. Too bad about the speed issues; twenty to thirty minutes is terrible for one scene, and an hour for an HD version sounds unbearable. You also did a review of Dildo and Fisting, but are any of the other sites' content worth anything?
When I said "Some of my favorite models over the years never seem to have gotten it all right," I meant that it was a combination of the star and the industry. I think a lot, maybe the majority, of girls who enter porn do so with only short term goals in mind. Maybe a year of two, not the decade and a half Jenna has been going at it, though I doubt even she knew she was going to last as long as she has.
Even if a girl is knock down, drag out popular, if she does not have the intent to stay in the business, then the industry will in turn not work to make her a superstar. If there is a profitable fan base, they might try and convince her to stay at least as long as she can make money.
I will chalk up part of my theory, and the fact that my favorite models have short careers, to the fact that I personally steer away from the mainstream, and to me, awards represent nothing but the mainstream, so they will always be meaningless to me. I hate most mainstream porn, and all the "superstars" and awards that come with it, so generally speaking, if I like a certain model, it is partly due to her not being a star.
And as far as Jenna Jameson is concerned, she is blond and beautiful, and seems to have rightfully earned her fan base and the unique level of popularity only she can enjoy. To me, she has outsmarted and outfoxed the system, and as a result controls her career, without even performing in front of a camera anymore. But I will also blame her for every breast implant surgery and blond Barbie doll look that so many young models have gone for.
I am going to have disagree with you here, particularly your statement about the fans:
"...not only are they the ones who buy and know quality after seeing so much stuff, they definitly dictate rising stars careers and how long their career are. The demand from fans from certain stars is what keeps the business going. It's obvious the industry can get some average looking amateurs and make a film with plenty of audience willing to watch it but when it comes to the superstars of the industry; it's all about the fans."
I think it is the industry, not the fans, that ultimately decides who makes it and how much they make, as well as the stars in question. The companies write and offer the contracts, the girls sign them and, hopefully, fulfill them (some of these models have gotten huge contracts quite early on, and I just can't imagine any of them saying “no, thank you”).
Yes, we the fans dictate their popularity, but I think a lot of it has to do with how someone is presented and marketed. This is going to sound cruel and cold, but in porn the girl is the product, and therefore she has to sell herself, and I do not mean just her body, but her personality, her act -- the whole package. Some of my favorite models over the years never seem to have gotten it all right, no matter how obviously hot, or just generally appealing, they were -- and most of them are gone.
Personally, I am not a fan of the biggest names in porn; I just don't see the appeal (why exactly is Jenna Jameson the biggest name in porn?), and my preference is usually for the unknowns to the almost amateurs. Nothing I hate more than to see a girl I love plastered all over a dozen sites doing virtually the same thing, or appearing in scores of DVDs repeating the same set of acts. To me, there is something special about a more restrained girl who you have to seek out to find her work; then the catch is that much more fun. :)
I thought she was getting better, but according to her site I am wrong. :(
She shot with ALSScan last fall, after having first shot with them sometime around 1998-'99, and she had a clean bill of health and was in good spirits. Now, at age 30, she has had her second diagnosis of cancer! Due to her preexisting condition, she can't get health insurance (we really do have the best health care in the world, don't we?), and now needs donations (through her site) so she can have more surgery for the hysterectomy.
Hope she gets better -- she is one the sweetest girls in porn!
Wow, what is that, two or three redheads for one trip, depending on if you count Hailey and Anita? Sucks about Jayme's tattoo, and doesn't Amia Miley have a tattoo on her neck of all places?
Sounds like another great Caribbean trip as always, though who exactly did they bring along? All those models you listed have been there for a while -- at least a year it seems -- and I was curious if they brought any new girls for the trip.
I am thinking of rejoining for the umpteenth time this summer and can't wait to load up my hard drive again...the content always overwhelms me. :)
