I don't think it's an inherently bad idea. I think some girls can make it work, and some can't. I think some go overboard, and some don't. I take it all on a case-by-case basis. Some of my favorite girls have boob jobs (Eva Angelina), some don't (Tori Black). And I think that nowadays, the decision by some girls to get implants is as much a business decision as it is an aesthetic one. Because, from most of the things I've noticed, girls with big boobs (whether real or fake) get more shoots than girls with small ones, especially when it comes to porn made in California (Valley Porn, as it's called). And with companies shooting less because of the economy, you have to do what you can to get shoots.
They're not going back on anything. It was a bug. They've always allowed negative comments, and unless they are abnormally mean, they pretty much always stay up.
And I completely disagree with your second statement, but that's neither here nor there, and a topic better left to another thread.
I have no clue if that is the scene you commented on, but that should answer anyone's questions as to whether they consistently censor negative comments/reviews.
That happens sometimes. Really, comments on scenes going missing and coming back isn't a new thing. And it happens with good and bad ones (I only make positive comments, and I've had it happen to me). If there's one definite fly in the ointment there, it's the tech issues that have been popping up over the last few months. None of them are deal-breaking, per se, but you do notice them, and they can get to be annoying.
Because I'm a fan of Live content, my favorite site gives me a reason to stay around for months on end. That being said, I've cancelled twice, once because I had no money, and once to get the PU discount for them.
From what I know, the site is DRM free, and they update it about once a week, but they have content from as far back as 2005, so some of it is a little old.
Also, it looks like it costs $10 to $20 per scene, not $30. Still pretty damn high, though.
And from what I can tell, you have to pay extra to access the mobile-formatted version of their website, which houses the exact same content. Really? I will also say that I had an extra 30 cent charge come from the same billing company (and the only other website I use doesn't use them). It's the only extra charge I've seen, and it's a very small amount (which is why I haven't gone through the hassle of finding out what happened), but it did happen for no apparent reason. Their forums are active, and I've seen people get service when something has gone wrong, but it's primarily only if you keep yelling about it and make them want to shut you up. And this is to say nothing about how other people/companies in the adult industry feel about the way Brazzers does business (look it up sometime, it's an interesting read).
So, in the end, would I recommend this site to another person? Yes, as long as you made sure to avoid any upsells and pre-checked cross-sales. But I honestly see no real reason to be a subscriber for more than a month at a time.
I've done it before and will do it again, both to show off for friends and for my own personal use. Hell, sometimes I just use it when I don't feel like getting out of bed and walking to my computer. The hardest part, though, is holding the phone steady with one hand while the other one is "occupied".
Thanks. I used 3000 characters in my bottom line, so with more space I probably would have gone on even longer. I probably need to work on being more concise.
They've always had a problem with download managers. The issue is that the download links on any given page expires after a certain amount of time (last I checked it was 10 minutes). So if you try to download a file after that time, it comes up either not found or forbidden. To get around this, what you want to do is download a little bit of each file, then pause it, then let your download manager take over.
I've been a member for about 9 months now, and they've had more tech problems in the past month than they had in the 6 before that, especially with the Live shows. Hell, one day their hosting company got hit by a DDoS attack and it took out the entire website for 4 hours.
I've noticed some pretty slow speeds off and on for the past few days. But it seems to be fixed, and it hadn't been a problem until the past few days. I was (and am) consistently getting speeds over 1MB/s. Never had a problem accessing the site though. Since I know cancellations don't take effect until the end of your billing cycle, why don't you try again this weekend.
The just added a new pricing option of $95.40 for 12 months. Even with the old deal of $15 a month, that's still 12 months for the cost of 6 and a quarter.
It's somewhere between the two. Older videos (pre 2007 or so) aren't even that close to DVD quality (though they have been trying to remaster scenes). 2007 to middle of this year is better than Videobox quality, and close to DVD, but not quite there. Over the summer, they introduced high-def movies, and the quality on those are very good, even if you go for the DVD quality download.
The older women do tend to still be/look mid 30s or so, but every few weeks you do get a woman that does look noticably older. And the logging in to multiple sites is long gone, everything is hosted at naughtyamerica.com now, so there's just one login.
Also, in their tagging options, you do have a chance to differentiate scenes between natural and fake breasts.
Yeah, I've never really understood why people tend to be so against change, it really doesn't make sense. But that's how it is sometimes. I hope people get over it, because I do like Naughty America as a company and would love to see them shake things up a bit. And I guess I meant to imply that mainstream porn is filled with women with fake breasts (i.e. the Vivid/Wicked/Digital Playground/Adam & Eve/etc. of the world). But there are a bunch of websites out there that aren't nearly as bad. But let me put it to you this way, Brazzers has 9 different sites dedicated exclusively to large breasts (and only one of them cares whether they are real or not):
Big Tits at Work
Big Tits at School
Big Tits in Sports
Baby's Got Boobs
Mommy's Got Boobs
Racks and Blacks
Bustyz
Busty and Real Jug Fuckers
Now I will admit that some of those sites probably don't update anymore, but that's still more than a third of their network dedicated to large breasts.
Honestly, I love Naughty America, but I completely agree that the biggest mark against it is that, in the end, it is the same scene over and over again with different actors and slightly different scenarios. But the problem becomes that when you get as big as they have probably gotten, your members come to expect a certain type of scene, and when you start to deviate from it, they get upset. And they get vocal about it. I can bring up two examples that apply to Naughty America in particular.
The first is when they brought out Naughty Flipside in 2007, which I would argue was their attempt at making alt-type porn. They scenes were, at worst about the same quality as their other scenes, but the members never got into it, and site only lasted for about 3 months before they stopped updating it.
The second is a lot more recent. Around late October/early November, they started to release scenes shot with a fixed-position camera (i.e. home-video style). I was a member on their forums at that point, and there was a huge outrage about it. People saying that this wasn't what they signed up for, that they hated it, etc. If you look at the reviews for those scenes, they say the same thing. So they tried to compromise by only putting the home video styles scenes on their own special category (the general Naughty America site) and having those scenes come out in addition to their normal 13 scenes shot regular style per week. But people still didn't stop complaining. They didn't stop until the producers agreed to stop doing it altogether.
So, in the end, while complacency is probably a large part of it, I think part of the problem is that the larger sites have become so big that they can't really experiment or change things up on a larger scale, because they get a backlash from the members who like things the way they are (and let's be honest, if they didn't like things the way they were, they wouldn't be members in the first place). Smaller sites have the ability to be more nimble, but when it comes to large networks, it's almost a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.
P.S. - Also, give me a site that isn't specifically small or naturally breasted specific that isn't drowning in fake breasts. The entire porn world is drowning in fake breasts, this is just a microcosm of that. And at least they aren't as bad about it as Brazzers.
Did you try the Ass Masterpiece scenes? I'm pretty sure each one of those has a tease before the start of the actual fucking/sucking (they may not all have full nudity, though). As for everything else, it's hard to do a tease when you're trying to do scenario-based porn. What pseudo-real life sexual situations can you think of where the girl stands there naked for a minute or two before getting down to business?
