I'm thinking the opposite. If the boss is a female, any substantive answer will probably be converted into a sexual harrasment discharge or worse. The only safe answer is "No Comment."
I'd ignore the question and, if pressed, I'd ask him why he is interested. (Why is it his business whether I watch porn or have cheese on my hamburger?)
I'd answer 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 if a multiple answer were permitted.
D/L ability is the key option for me however. I will never knowingly sign up for any site that does not permit easy and DRM free downloads. That's binary. I stop looking when I see a download issue.
The other elements are subjective. Price is my second criterion, then quality, and finally site design and navigation.
Update schedule is not a criterion. If it's a site with good stuff that is new to me, even without updates I'll sign up to drain off the content.
Lots of details, lots of information and a lot of possibilities for me.
Can you describe the mechanics? If you want just 20 scenes for a specific porn star, are you obligated to pay for the entire video or can you go to specific scenes?
Are the videos for sale duplicates of Video Box offerings or do they offer a different assortment?
12 hours is plenty. These guys are rolling in huge amounts of money and should be able to respond within 12 hours or faster.
Failing that, a human (not auto) response that the matter has ben received and will be addressed within a reasonable period of time.
What really pisses me off is getting no reply whatever until a week or more later where the webmaster is now asking if I still have the problem.
What pisses me off more is where the reply bears no relation at all to the reported problem. Recently I had an access problem with a site I just signed up for and emailed the webmaster. The or four days later I got a reply that said, "If you wish to cancel, you must do so at least 24 hours before your membership expires." I was able to get the problem resolved via CCBill (of all things) but not from the site.
I was a big Danni fan back when Danni ran the show. Technology wasn't as good as now but she was the leader of the pack at quality porn, honesty and having a really fun time, which added to the attraction.
When she sold the biz the quality slipped, they killed the chat room (it's back now), they stopped their superb support functions and totally fucked up how they handled DRM. They let that ruin what little quality they had remaining. And worse, it stopped being fun.
I was one pissed off guy back then, yet I did return once for a month. It happened to be when Shay Laren did a live webcast (Holy shit was that outstanding) so I asked if it would be preserved as a content offering. They said yes, so I stayed another month. Never was posted so I decided to pack it in.
I still resent their attitudes but I agree that the site has some great content. At $19.95, joining one month each year makes sense as a way to drain off all new content then move on.
Great review, asmith12. I couldn't nail my problem with Met Art until I read your comments. Then it hit me. There is no real "fire" in many (most?) of the pics. Gorgeous babes shot beautifully, but something is missing.
And that explains why I found the videos to be unsatisfying; most of them are simply someone videotaping a photo shoot with all the emotion of an ice cube melting.
Private once had a series of videos of their hardcore shoots and it bombed out. Who wants to see a guy about to get a BJ being told to move over a little bit for a better angle, or a full vaginal insertion being delayed as the lighting is reset?
Porn is about fantasy and emotion. Met Art misses that element, IMO.
Pros of on line only/cons of hard DVD
1. No ads at the front end and back end.
2. Ability to easily edit out the garbage porti0on of the scenes.
3. Easy cyber storage and organization.
4. Privacy.
5. On Line less expemsive by far.
6. Easy and no cost rejection of lousy material,
Cons of on line only/pros of hard DVD only
1. No access to new talent or to proven talent with new material that can be obtained only on "hard" DVD.
2. Potential for hard drive crash or malfunction wiping out all or some of a collection.
3. Access to extra material such as interviews and bloopers on Hard DVD.
Bottom line, the incredible amount of money being made by on line sites will improve the quality and timeliness of new material without interrupting the cash flow to the producers. Contrary to the worries of the "legit" film industry, porn, once again, is leading the pack at developing this huge new revenue source while reducing the promotional and delivery costs to the producers.
The babe identified on FTV Girls as Danielle is a big natural breasted woman with a really great personality. Love those boobies. But as you may know, FTV has no hardcore and because Rob at FTV is setting up a new site for Danielle, I'm assuming that she's under contract with FTV.
But in doing a web surf for Danielle, I found her on a teaser clip for this site, Amateur Allure, where she's giving this guy Thomas a juicy head job and taking his schlong in some vaginal sex. Not at all like the sweet virginal sex bomb that she is on FTV Girls.
Because I love this babe, and because your review gives the site high marks for the quality of the talent, I'll be forking over the ridiculously high fee of 1/3 of a C Note for a month's membership.
I'll give you a quick reply and when I join I'll be more complete (so other members can supplement my comments).
I really enjoy watching an uninhibited girl who likes her body and happily shows it off. One of your models is Andie (aka Andrea) who also appears on FTVGirls. She does heavy masturbation but some of her FTV stuff is PG where she dances, plays with her labia, gets really down with breast play and leg spreads.
Some ideas for pretty girl stuff would be floor level upskirt stuff, breast massage underneath a transparent bra, nipple tweaking, etc. I also enjoy public scenes where a gorgeous girl with erect nipples in a tight sweater, a nice pair in a low cut blouse, short plaid skirt and pantiless, etc. is showing off her PTA [pussy, tits and ass] in subtle and not so subtle ways.
The issue we both face, you as a content creator and me as a consumer, is that I don't see how you can make a video that is longer than 10-15 minutes without losing my attention. That's why, although I prefer "soft core" (PG and masturbation) over hard core (damages the fantasy to some degree), I can see the need to include some HC just to add variety to the offerings.
I'll probably be joining Nubiles in the next few weeks so I'll add more comments then.
If you'd like to chat directly feel free to PM me on PU or to email me directly at jackmonahn@hotmail.com .
I'm into this genre (I really like FTVGirls, for example) and this site looks like it is as good, if not better. Hardcore is good occasionally but I prefer the masturbation/pretty girl (no insertions) genre more.
I will be joining shortly based on this review, and more importantly, because Nubiles Captain posted such informative responses to the comments in this thread. He reassures me by his thorough and literate comments that I'll be getting just what I want and that he'll be there if I have any problems or beefs.
As for Nubiles not being a video site, anyone who checks out the public site will see that it is very heavily loaded with video content; perhaps more than most other sites in this genre. For those who haven't checked out the public site, I suggest you do. The number of models is huge and growing, and the site provides very well done 20 second samplers for almost every model.
BTW, the quality of female talent emanating from Eastern Europe is, simply, jaw dropping and I'm hoping it continues forever. Yes, US talent is fine as well but there is something about all natural bodies not messed up with "body art" (tattoos) that I find extremely appealing.
It's my experience that, when a site slows down or stops updating, it's in a shut down mode.
I would first discuss it on Porn Users to see if there was an announcement or something that I missed. If that yields no information I would email the webmaster, but would not hold much hope for a meaningful response.
As a result, I would probably accept it and cancel my membership a day or two before the renewal date.
Three cases, one with a good outcome and two with a lousy outcome.
Case 1 (Good outcome) Sexy-Babes.tv - They stopped updating all of their sites with no notice at all. I wrote an email to the webmaster and posted to the site's forum with no response. Two days later I posted a question on Porn Users that was read by the webmaster who replied that they had a serious server problem and were working on it. He apologized for failing to think about the members who had no idea why there were no update and posted a notice on the site.
Cases 2 and 3 (bad outcomes) - AngelicaCostello.com (Venus Knight's website) and VictoriaPink.com. In Venus's case, although the public site promised frequent updates there were none, and hardly any content on Venus. In Victoria Pink's case, I renewed for a month hoping that their promise of frequent updates and sent emails to the site that were unanswered. The site remains but has not been updated in years...except that the price has increased from $9.95 to $24.95.
My basic strategy before I found P. U. last year was to sign up for a site's trial with low expectations then cancel. Now I will never sign up for any site without reading all of the reviews on P. U. and The Best Porn.
As for communications with a site's webmaster, in the (very) few cases where I get a reply, it's usually a useful one but occasionally the webmaster is nonresponsive.
I love the European babes and want them on as many sites as will have them.
1. Few have tattoos messing up their gorgeous bodies and even fewer have ugly ones.
2. Few have aftermarket boob jobs.
3. Most seem to really enjoy their profession much more than the US models...or the Euros are better actors. Whatever, I love watching them.
I am too old. I remember the bad jokes back before Perestroyka about how ugly Eastern European and Russian women were. Clearly there was, and still is, a mother lode of talent that has been created by the ladies who were born at about the time the Iron Curtain came crashing down.
Yours echoed most of my "cons" but there are two more.
1. Almost all (not all but almost all) scenes have the same guy with a hideous tattoo on his face. He usually stays appropriately quiet, and is excellent at making sure the babe is always the highlight of the scene. I'd really like to see different guys just for variety.
2. The concept is dreadfully boring with scene one (the only scenes available for the "trial" subscribers) being some overly long pickup scene that usually ends with the babe getting ready to show some boob. Scene 2 is usually a solo adn Scene 3 is the hard stuff (except in a few cases there's no actual sex). There is absolutely no variety at all, so the only reason to sign up is to check out the superb tits (all natural) on the flat out gorgeous babes, but frankly that's why I sign up every 10-12 months to drain off the updates since the last time.
On the positive side the lighting is always excellent and the cameraman does a great job of catching all the body parts at their most flattering and in getting great camera angles.
As for video quality, I concur with Denner, but most of the new stuff is crisp enough (640) to be fully satisfactory, if not as super sharp as current technology permits.
But these guys have to be pulling in big bucks so is it too much to ask that they maximize the quality of their product?
Final add: For those who care, the vast majority of the talent are European and most of the scenes are taken in Prague.
Off your point altogether, but my sincere thanks for posting a comment.
I never heard of this site or of Paris, but because of your comment, I visited the site. Paris is definitely the kind of babe who qualifies as a keeper. I'll be enrolling soon, but do you know whether the site is active with regular updates, can you tell me how much video content is available, and, finally, is there any DRM or other content download limitation?
Also, is there enought to sign up for the 6 month plan?
I ran into Randy West several years ago in the (large) waiting room of an Orthopedic medical group.
Randy, clearly, was not interested in being identified because, when I approached him to tell him how I liked his work in the Up and Cummers series, he said, thanks, and moved to another location.My guess is that most porn stars would have the same reaction.
Frankly the expectation issue for me is the silly notion that a guy can keep his rod hard for 30 minutes straight. (Now that I say that, maybe there are a lot of guys who can do that...but I sure ain't one of them.)
Excellent review, indybt30. I really like your writing style because it reads like a real review and not like responses to a questionnaire.
Nubiles is on my short list of sites to join when I get tired of a site I'm currently on because I do like the genre...but because I'm more a video guy your comments about the vids are important to me.
Bubble butts are not important to me but variety and quality is. I may lower Nubiles one notch on my short list.
My wife loves that show but I can't handle the bullshit life and death stuff the "reality shows" all use like the way they spend 10 minutes (including commercials to stretch out the "you're fired" part.
There is the occasional babe FMILF (fashion model I'd like to fuck) that will hold my interest for a few seconds but the rest of the time I'm surfing more intellectual stuff on the web like Twistys, Video Box and Brazzers on my laptop.
