The first full frontal nude centerfold in Playboy was Marilyn Cole, Miss February 1972. This magazine vanished from my older brother's porn stash and formed the foundation or mine.

I have some really old some from college. Things like the "Oh god, she's nude!" Vanessa Williams Penthouse. It is stored in the bottom of a box someplace and once in a while I stumble upon it, look through it, wonder what to do with it, put it back and forget about it again until the next time.

You should probably talk about anything OTHER than shop. In fact, let them take the conversation wherever they want to.
I met Raquel Darrian at a non-porn related party in LA hosted by the Major Video rental chain (they rented a lot of porn videos before they were purchased by blockbuster...this was about 1992, I think). Her then-boyfriend Derrick was with her. Although I knew who they were, I went out of my way not to talk shop with them, partially because this was not a porn industry event, it was a video industry event. Funny thing...I ran into her about a year later in a Fort Lauderdale strip club and she remembered me...not my name, but she remembered where we met before. She was headlining there that night and one of my vendors had brought me to this club. Derrick was with her, and they sat at my table for a while so they could stay on the floor without having to work it. Again, we talked about anything but shop.

I have annual subscriptions to 3 of my favorite sites and have had them for a couple of years now. I still poke around and subscribe to other sites, but not as much as I used to. Those three sites each provide multiple daily updates and that keeps me fairly satisfied.

Monahan,
I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think you can compare softcore modeling or even European porn to mainstream US porn. Very few models make the transition to hardcore easily because the traits needed for the two are different. Those who do make the transition may simply be starting in softcore with a plan to move on as they gain popularity. Also, European and some american nude models make a shitload of money, probably as much as or more than US porn stars do. Sidney Moon started with Playboy, made a lot of money modeling and was able to retire without going into porn videos (although she did a couple of girl/girl videos back in the Danni's Hotbox days.) Marketa Belonoha never did a single porn or girl/girl scene, often had two shootings a day and retired fairly wealthy in her early 30s.
There are a lot of European models that have done what I'll call European porn but will probably never progress beyond sex with their real life boyfriends on-screen. Connie Carter, often seen in Met-Art is a good example of that. There are also a lot of softcore models that are lesbians and won't do boy/girl sex scenes. This gets back to the traits thing I spoke of earlier. (i.e. Sydney, I think.)
So, my point is that nobody HAS to progress to freaky porn to be successful. There are plenty of very, very successful nude models that don't and plenty of their followers who appreciate it.
Just sayin' :-)

There are many girls in this industry that know exactly how to manage their careers, but there are also a lot of girls who have no idea what they are getting into. It seems like many of the girls make the decisions about what to do, but it also seems like in some cases others make the decisions for them. My point is that I'm not sure if the start easy and get progressively more hard core is a planned thing, or if the girl just progresses from nude modeling to porn acting to progressively nastier stuff because those around her are telling her that's what she needs to be doing.
I am NOT saying that this is an exploitation thing, but it is interesting how the pattern so closely mimics exploitation that you often would not be able to tell if it was or not.
Personally, I am not into the really freak stuff. I like the model sites and straight porn with a POV perspective...a little bondage occasionally. Anal, DP and brutality are huge turn-offs to me...probably because I could never do those things in the bedroom and would never want to treat a woman that way. (Seriously, have you ever had a long term relationship with a woman who likes Anal? Do you know any woman that truly likes it? Porn is not about getting off, it is about getting YOU off.) So I don't want my favorite porn girls to be doing too much of the truly freaky stuff...ever!

Most porn stars make truly awful noises during sex, foreign or not, so the volume is off when I watch them. There are a few exceptions when the girl is talking to the camera, but not many.

If you look around enough, you will see almost every porn actress or model out there in both girl-girl and girl-guy scenes. So they may have a sexual preference, but it does not impact their ability to have sex with whoever the scene calls for. I do think that the industry tends to have a lot of bi girls.

Depends on the porn star. Some, like Savannah (Shannon Wilsey) from the late 80's-early 90's, have particularly graphic and unfortunate stories leading up to their deaths or suicides. Knowing the stories tends to shrivel one's enthusiasm. But if they had long, successful, relatively happy careers and died of something unrelated, then here's to remembering them in the best possible way!

I have software that synchronizes slideshow images to music, so it is usually some kind of dance music or electronica.

Porn Awards....kind of an oxymoron. Porn is privately watched by many, but, at least here in the hypocritical US, publicly shunned. (It's OK to shoot somebody on TV, but you can't see a boob because that would be porn!) How stupid and unhealthy. The value of the award is high within the industry, I suppose, but outside the industry, what, there are awards?? Because of this, it has to be because the fans, who will nearly always remain nameless, really appreciate or enjoy the work or the look or the unique talent that a porn model or porn star has. This is the weirdest industry on the planet....but I do see an opportunity for an independent, poll based industry award...THE PORN USER AWARDS!

Yes, for most sites I only sign up for a month at a time, but I have annual subscriptions to a few. You are right about some sets not being that exciting, but I like the format because you can truly see what each model looks like without any stupid props, covered tattoos, airbrushing or clothing designed to hide things. Every single model is real and most are stunning. It isn't up in your face stuff very often and is mostly pretty soft core, but once a week or so there is a set that knocks my...um...socks off.

We're talking turn-offs in porn, right? Well, big tits and big dicks bring big egos, right? Lack of intelligence...don't know many PhDs in porn (although I do know one or two) and don't care. It ain't Shakespeare. Aggression..can't really have submissiveness without it. So that leaves poor hygiene....which is totally true about porn...everybody needs to be super clean....except for that part where somebody either licks or sticks their dick in somebody else's asshole. Yea, hygiene....except apparently anal is OK.

Scenes? This reminds me of the proverbial center of a tootsie-pop question. (Apologies to those who don't know the Tootsie-pop owl.) When previewing potential downloads, I might scan through a couple of dozen scenes in a sitting, download the ones I like and then watch them later. Once downloaded, if they are mediocre scenes, I will fast-forward/skip through them and occasionally just delete them. If they are really, really good scenes, I will, um, be done with them before they are over. So from my perspective, the ideal answer is one because it is frigging awesome, but occasionally it is a few.

Great review and you cover all the bases perfectly. I just saw your review because T4K was just scored and I had joined a few months ago.
I'll drop a little update into comments.

Interesting question. Totally depends on what else is going on, how much time I have and the type, quality, new-ness and maybe the length of the queue of scenes (i.e. go look at new stuff for each active subscription, then go to collection if there is nothing amazing among the new stuff). Generally it is time constrained. Got 5 minutes? Then it takes 5 minutes. Got 2 hours and absolutely nothing else to do? Then it takes 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, then 40 minutes. Ha!

I've tried a few. I didn't realize until recently that there is a little subculture/sub-market of erotic drawing/rendering tools and products. (go check out renderotica.com to see what I mean...) They all share one problem with the games, though. Although bodies and movements are getting better, the faces are nowhere near realistic enough. It's fun to play/look for a few minutes, anyway.

Yesterday the option changed again to "Thanks for using our public beta. Click here to set this as default" but there was no way to go back to the "classic format". Fortunately, there is a setting in "options" that allows you to set your default to "classic". This works, but my browser spends a lot of time switching from the now global-default new format to my personal setting classic format.
I would not mind the new format so much if it provided me with one-row per day (i.e. 4 sets) like the old one did, if it used the same naming conventions and if I could do the same things in the same number of clicks. (i.e. download a zip file) Both formats leave huge amounts of unused space on the sides. If the goal was to provide larger thumbnails, just take up some of that unused space.

So...my wife sometimes takes longer than I'd like in the bathroom once she's decided she needs to "freshen up" before we have sex. I'll grab the iPad next to my bed and start browsing the usual porn haunts in an effort to stay hard. In the strictest sense, this is fluffing. Depending on what kind of mood she and I are in, I will sometimes show her things I find so we can try them or NOT try them, depending on the site and thing. Sometimes she just comes out and asks me what I was looking at and looks put out when I show her. Yes, she "caught" me, but in this case it is more like getting caught stealing a cookie...except the only one I get to eat just finished freshening up in the bathroom.

Have you ever watched a Spanish TV show with the sound off? Facial expressions are so exaggerated that it looks like somebody is eating nails! (No offense, I think it's a cultural acting thing...) Porn is often that way with the sound on OR off. With it on, you get an endless stream of ridiculous moans and "oh fuck"s. And with it off, the models and actors facial expressions either look like they are either running a hundred yard dash in the middle of the worlds longest yawn or in some serious pain.
The only sound I can tolerate and sometimes enjoy hearing is that low, gutteral, gritty "Unnnngh" sound when a woman or a man is actually coming. But that sound is all too rare.
Oh, and there are/were a few sites that create scenes where the model talks to you. Twisty's and Danni.com used to have these sets where the models would talk to you as though you were sitting there. (I just looked and they are not a separate category on Twisty's anymore but they are still there.) They were pretty awesome and worth having the sound on for.

I think seeing a model eat food in a porn set is more comical than sexy. Food is sometimes used as a prop to distract new models, but it doesn't really do much and isn't particularly realistic. It isn't really foreplay...
Now, I have seen a few excellent sets/scenes where the model is dripping honey or chocolate on herself or having fun with a can of whipped cream. The huge difference here is that, rather than having to watch a model eat food, you end up wondering about what she tastes like. Yum.

Thank you! I see you pulled the site from your review list also. It looks like the site is still up but they aren't accepting new accounts. That sounds like they may have shut-down but don't want to have to refund any money for current subscriptions. Oh well. I hope you get an answer.
Thanks,

Rearadmiral,
So...what happened? I would hate to think that a company/brand as reputable as Playboy would give you the runaround. I found your note because I was here looking before signing up. I think I'll wait to hear what happens with your case before I do.
Thanks,
Skippy
