I was checking out the price of those premium channels -- $18! Considering a regular membership, with its access to so many DVDs, starts at $10, I cannot believe that people would really want an extra channel for that much cash. Does Evil Angel = evil price?
Normal movies because they keep re-releasing them in infinite editions, plus all the times they show them on TV, whereas porn seems to be too often limited; miss something and you might never see it again!
I have not been a member of ALS since late 2008 (I know, blasphemy!) so I was wondering if they have any hot new models for this year? Especially any that aren't Eastern European or already on three dozen other sites.
Oh, and have they gone on their tropical trip for the year? Those are usually incredibly hot and very entertaining with tons of footage, though personally I think last year's was a step down from their one in 2007, so I am hoping they improved a little this year.
I spent 3 1/2 years in the military and saying that they have some antiquated and intolerant policies is a considerable understatement.
Because of my job, I was in a combat unit (all male), and, yes, you could say being straight was a requirement. In fact, being outright homophobic, misogynistic, racist, and just generally intolerant were all pretty standard. I understand people when they say "well, that's just the culture" or "it's to be expected," but there is simply no excuse for intolerant policies in what we so loudly like to tout as a "free" country.
I think part of the problem is people confuse sexual identity for sexual aggression; that is, someone who is gay is supposedly more sexual than someone who is straight. It is sort of like how some fear Islam is more violent than Christianity, but today many of the barriers to religious tolerance have come down, or are at least much lower than, say, during WWII or even Vietnam.
I am afraid I don't know what the best solution is, though getting rid of the stopgap non-solution of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is a good start. The military has been ahead of civilian changes in social policy in the U.S. in the past -- like starting desegregation before civilian institutions did -- but sexuality, and our obsession with it, has a long way to go.
I have to say Europe after having lived there for a few years...the porn is not just the "hottest," but some of the most different as well. It is not just the depth, but the breadth of material that is amazing, and how relatively equally distributed it is compared to North America. We have loads of "mainstream" mass-produced porn available here in the U.S., much of which is professionally shot and captured, but not necessarily the hottest.
I would say Asia (or just Japan) is second only because it is a single country and it is censored.
Though they don't really offer a lot to sample, I love how you can browse through their whole collection for free and read the video descriptions. I still check their site to see which videos have certain material when I am about to watch them. I just wish they would say what is also included in the photoshoot section (might entice me to join again, since I do love their photography).
Yes, you definitely get your money's worth for the first month, but after that it seems like a small discount or something would be in order if you were to continue as a member.
Their content does seem like a pretty good investment though, because even as HD video and hi-res photos become the standard, their older stuff is still unique enough and decently shot to be worth saving.
Thanks to PU, as well as the fact that I am still going to the bigger reputable sites with lots of good reviews, I have an average score of 84.6.
As others have said, we all have our own tastes and I try to steer clear of the sites that just don't interest me, no matter how high their average score is.
Yes, I was surprised mbaya did not mention price in his review -- $35 is not exactly cheap, despite how beautiful their content is. Even if they had better search functions, I would still give them a score in the 80s with their current price.
Yes, and I have, though the majority of models at most sites seem to be white American or European.
My question: is anyone really concerned whether their porn is interracial or not, because I only really want to see the girl, I don't care if she and the guy are "mixed."
That sucks, I get looks for some of the shirts I wear too, and they are only related to music, not porn.
I am still more on the anonymous side of wearing a PU shirt, as American culture is still way too hung up on fashion. I really do not care what people wear, as long as they are comfortable, but if I was to be offended by something, it would be a logo of a large corporation (pretty much any would do) or even a government organization, long before any band or porn site.
Justification for a high score, as well as lots of exclamation points, is what reviews should be about. We are all biased in some way or another, but I think a 100 or 99 can be validated, especially with the higher character counts that are allowed for reviews.
These reviews barely even read as advertisements, they just come across like every spam subject line we have had to read as we empty out the junk mail folder.
Is there a way to temporarily block reviews for this site until the flood of enthusiasm recedes some?
Hmm...this is the third review in just as many days for the same site, and the scores from these three range from 99 to 100. They are also all by three brand new users who have joined PU in the last few days and only reviewed this site.
If it wasn't for the newbie ratings, super high scores, and countless exclamation points, I might consider these to be at least somewhat legitimate.
Maybe I am wrong, and this site has gotten really popular in the last few days.
A beautiful setting can help, but sometimes it can be distracting because it is so overwhelming visually. For example, almost every beach scene I was taken in by the setting well before the girl or action. It definitely helps to have a nice set, but it has to complement, not compete with, the main action.
This also applies to more amateur looking settings; if there is a lot in the background it could draw people's attention away from the subject. Ever look at photos or watch a video, but you kept focusing on something in the background instead? (This is part of the reason why I don't enjoy public nudity or sex, too much going on in the background.)
I like simple, clean, but not overly luxurious settings. Seeing mansion after mansion, or paradise after paradise, emphasizes the fantasy aspect too much for my tastes. I also don't like the studio backdrops that a lot of photographers use -- too boring. Somewhere in the middle are the good settings.
Yeah, I am really lost as to what he or she is referring to. Maybe it is someone who works for the site (but I doubt it) or a really enthusiastic fan...either way I still hate the anonymous ratings, even with comments.
Excellent review! Nice to see a member being honest about this site; I mean really, what's with all the high scores?
Anyways, I am never sure how to classify this site. Like others said, it is too disrespectful to its models to be glamour, plus most photos and videos are not up to the more "artsy" sites' standards, and if they are it took too long to implement. It is not really hardcore either, or at least solo hardcore, due to all the repetition. I became so bored with the site so quickly.
I am not big on search features -- I prefer to just wander and wade through the material -- but here the quantity overwhelms you long before the quality does. I think this site has a lot of great content, it just doesn't present it to its fullest potential.
It's good that you have mentioned them in reviews, but I think it goes over a lot of people's head. Quality can be a very subjective thing, and quantity -- even high quantity with low quality -- is much more objective, especially since it is often just numbers. But bit rate can really determine a video's quality, even if everyone is more concerned with the resolution or length.
Maybe there is just not enough demand by members for sites to post them, though once you download a file you can see for yourself. I worry too many sites will just use high bit rates to claim they have good videos, just like they do with HD resolutions. Just because they captured a shitty scene in HD does not keep it from being any less shitty had it been captured in SD. In fact, higher quality often only reinforces bad lightning, camera work, sound, style, etc.
I don't think it is a very big part of American culture, what with our Puritan background and the demands of the colder climates in many parts of our country. We are so hung up on the "evils" of nudity, I am sure you can find people who would even call it un-American.
I think a lot of us (myself included) have been so conditioned to simply think that nudity=sex, and therefore a nudist resort could be some free-for-all nonstop orgy -- but everyone is unattractive -- instead a way to just relax without clothes.
Personally I would like to try it at least once with friends and some extremely strong sunblock, as my skin is not up the task of being exposed to the sun for very long. And if they are all "overweight middle aged people" then I would at least have less to be self conscious about.
