I use a really simple, ancient program called SuperJPG but it is no longer made and is showing its age. I just downloaded Tangub's sugestion, Xnview software and it looks really nice! It will go through images in fractions of a second speeds, which is something I was looking for, but it also looks like it as some other nice features. Thanks, Tangub!

Sometimes HD videos can be huge with a lot of garbage at the beginning and end, so I will edit them while preserving as much of the overall theme as possible. There are also a couple of things that are a real turn-off to me personally and, if I like the rest of the video enough to download it, I will edit those bits out. It is not hard to do with the right tools and it saves storage and viewing time.

Many pay sites post sample videos on the free sites as a marketing technique. I have a list of several US, European and Russian free sites that I visit when I'm looking for something new. And a lot of it is in 720p HD.
I've also found that these sites often have a community that edits and contributes. For example, Go to Thumbzilla and look up "Reverse Cowboy Compilation". Sure enough, down the page somebody has put a bunch of them together and put them to music....5 or 6 different versions. That's more work than I would ever want to do, but it is nice viewing. There is also some pretty good amateur stuff on occasion.
The pop-ups are sometimes a nuisance and for a while that stupid FBI Java hijack thing was a problem at some foreign sites, but current virus protection seems to take care of that.

After seeing the first two answers, I have to wonder if this is just US thing. I never considered that folks here hadn't heard of Reddit. (What about Tumblr?) If not, Reddit is a free image and gif site that, has over 100 NSFW subreddits covering every possible category, fetish, softcore, hardcore, etc. I am often surprised to see images there that I have in my collection or images of favorite models that I have not seen elsewhere. Many of the webmasters allow some of their images to be posted there as sort of free advertising. It may be worth a look if you are into images and GIFs. For videos, you have to go to xhamster of thumbzilla.

I first started thinking about this from an admittedly twisted American cultural perspective....here we are on a site that is all about one 'Vice" talking about one of our other vices. This country lumps sex and alcohol into the "bad" category, but there is an average of 3 prime-time murders an hour on almost every major TV network. ...I digress.
I don't drink much bet when I do....it's whatever is handy at whatever location I am at. I drink about half of whatever it is and then stand around holding the warm and/or watery remains for the duration of whatever event it is.

I buy monthly subscriptions to different sites on a rotating basis. But I will buy an annual subscription if the discount is big enough (i.e. $79-99/year) and I like the site enough to sign up for 3 or more months a year. So right now I have annual subscriptions to 3 sites.
Some sites hardly discount annual subscriptions at all. $200+ for an annual subscription? What are they thinking?
Lately, I've seen a lot of $70 "lifetime" network deals that are only in effect for as long as you maintain a subscription to the original site you signed up to in the network. "Keep paying $29 a month and we'll let you have these other sites for only $70"... That's not a deal at all and is actually a tremendous ripoff.

I'm kind of hoping that some of the webmasters will see this survey since I'm expecting it to be mostly "looking at the camera". I am SO tired of sets where the girl never looks at the camera.
The only not-looking set I've ever enjoyed is the "peeping tom" type of set where the shoot is through curtains or a mostly closed door and the girl doesn't make eye contact until she "notices" you. That is followed by a)yelling, b)a smile and a show, c)sex, or d) all of the above. Those are kind of fun but fortunately not that common. I say fortunately because the rarity makes them more enjoyable when they do pop up.
Oh, and I suppose a really wonderful arched-back spread-eagle or similar pose where the girl's face isn't visible is fine. But again, those type of shots are rare.

Once back in the 80's there was a set in Penthouse Magazine (remember magazines?) Where, for every image, this beautiful girl was just staring into the camera with a totally pissed "What are you looming at?" expression on her face. Every image. Oh my god that was so hot that 30 years later, I still remember the set.
My point? I believe it is ALL fantasy and there is an appropriate time and place for every type of expression...as long as it is done well.

I just wrote a long note but I guess it was TOO long and my login timed out. That's a first.
Many new models plaster on a smile and it stays there for the entire set. Yuck. But some models can provide very genuine looking smiles for most shots in a set very consistently. Lorena G (Met art, Twisty's) is one of the European models that has a terrific, genuine looking smile.
The other look you sometimes get with new models is the slightly frightened look. I don't attribute that that to submission (totally different thing) but more to the sudden realization "What the FUCK am I doing here" like a cat in a bathtub. That is often the last time you see those models. Sometimes you see this with popular models but it is probably more about the photographer. Ever seen a site where there are lots of girls but only one set each? I think it is because the photographer creeped the hell out of the girls and they leave and don't return. Sets where the photographers touch the models fall into this category and I don't blame the models for getting creeped out. (I'm talking straight photo/video sets, not faux auditions or pick up videos.)
What I did not convey in the survey was that intense, "I want you NOW!" look that, hopefully, we've all experienced at one time or another. Very few models can pull off that look, but when they do it is pure gold.
Oh, and if you really want to see how genuine a model is, look for the behind the scenes videos. (Warning: do NOT do this with your favorite models unless you want to be disappointed.) If the model's expression changes for every shot or two, it's fake. If there is other stuff going on in the room or there is obvious dialogue that the model is reacting to, then it is more genuine.
So for me it is anything genuine. ...now let me copy this before clicking "add reply...."

Same here. When I see a new or interesting model, most of the time I just look on the site to see what else she has done, but once in a while there will be somebody I just have to get more of so I go out to one of the directory sites. Without those sites and the related name cross-references, I sometimes would not know that a model I like is on another site I subscribe to under a different name.

I just looked and have over 1.9 million files in my collection...wow. That is mostly images but there are a lot of videos, too. My file structure starts with a rating system, A,B,C and it is mainly broken down by site. It goes all the way to AAAA for my favorite sites and material. Within a site, I organize by the year of the subscription. (i.e. MA10, MA11, etc. within the Met-art folder, which is a AAAA site.) Then I only look back as far as my last subscription. This helps me see at a glance when I last subscribed to a site, it eliminates duplicates and it helps determine when to archive older, low resolution stuff. the better sites already tag sets and files with the model and date but for those that do not, I categorize by model (within the year of the subscription). When I find something amazing, I include OMG at the end so I can search for it later. And the best videos get copied into folders that are visible to one of my Tivos so we can watch them in my A/V room...but that is another story. So...rating, site, subscription year, set/model...and OMG as a flag.

The deal is really a buy-one, get one free. So there is no free access to either.

This may sound odd, but I like some of these scenes because they demonstrate the challenge for the guy. Think about it this way. If you are with two girls, it should be because they are thinking that you can get them both off better than they can get themselves off. Challenge accepted. What I don't like to see is the back story where two girls just decide to jump one guy as a gift or treat. And I don't want to see a guy screwing one girl while the other one just watches or plays with his balls or herself. Sex is about satisfaction and that includes the satisfaction you get from knowing that your partner is or partners are satisfied. So the guy needs to be the best fuck they've BOTH ever had. To me, the best scenes are those where the guy is on his back, there's a girl on his dick and a girl sitting on his face and climax is nearly simultaneous for all of them. If the girls have to face each other or finger each other because they are more into each other than him, he's failed.
Philosophical stuff aside, (this is shallow-acting porn, after all) I enjoy watching the 2 on 1 scenes, but the guy has to look like he's putting in a genuine effort to satisfy them both.

Sasha. She may have been ridden hard and put away wet, but she cleaned up really nice and actually found some real acting and spokesperson jobs. I'm guessing that taught her a little about how to do things other than fuck in front of the camera. One other thing. She is the only one here, I think, that is not enhanced.

I think this may be a case of different strokes for different folks, but I do get pretty disappointed when I see a really beautiful, pristine model with a new, blatantly obvious tattoo. Example: Melena Morgan pre-tattoos? Awesomely beautiful. Malena Morgan with tattoos? Either clearly branded as a porn star or spending a lot of time on the softer sites covering them up.
A lot of these girls don't realize that they are their own canvas. It is what makes them so amazing. The minute they agree to be somebody else's canvas, it takes some, sometimes ALL, of that amazing away. Or maybe to put it more directly...when have you ever heard anyone say "That girl was hot before but that new tattoo makes her look even better!" Yup....never.

I find that the TBP reviews are a little too positive sometimes, but there are often very well written PU reviews. In the end, you have to take a leap of faith no matter how good the reviews and previews are, but it helps a lot to have both professional and PU reviews.
The Better Business Bureau and Yelp have both been proven to accept payment for a higher score. I don't really think that happens in porn site reviews....yet. A site can plant a positive user review (which you can usually see through), but for the most part, I like how honest the user reviews are.

It depends entirely on the scene and the purpose of the video. POV scenes, for example, often don't have much of a set up but sometimes, like in a few of the W4B videos, the set up adds a lot to the scene. So I had to answer "other".

I'm on the fence about this one for two reasons.
Many of you remember Savannah. Those who don't should look her up. She was an amazing porn star that committed suicide in 1994. Would it not make sense to remove her images? I had a lot of pictures of her but the thought that she blew her brains out made them considerably less appealing.
In other cases, some models request to have their images removed after they retire and move on. Marketa Belonoha is probably the best example of a spectacular model who has moved out of nude modeling and has asked the sites that showcased her to take down her images. Many sites honored that request but many did not. (She had a micro-site called Marketa4U.com in the Watch4Beauty network but took that down.) These day's you can't hide your past, but I think it is respectable to try to hide it from your kids until they are old enough to understand. Cases like these are reasonable when it comes to taking models off sites. (Marketa was one of my all-time favorite models, so I already have nearly every image ever shot of her.)
Other good reasons for pulling models include that they were minors when the shoot occurred or that the model release or image sale to that particular web site was disputed/pirated. Occasionally, when a site is sold, there are disputes about who actually owns the rights to the images (i.e. the site or a past partner in the site). That happens remarkably often and the safest thing is for the sites to remove the disputed images.
All that said, I do not think that old shoots should be arbitrarily pulled unless the quality is so bad the images or models degrade the impression of a web site. I just went back and looked at some Penthouse stuff shot in the mid-90's. Great stuff, but the images are 600x400 MAX so they have been remanded to the deep archives. What do you do with that stuff? If the originals can't be re-scanned, then I have a hard time blaming the sites for removing them.
The good news is that there is a shitload of great, new, high-resolution stuff out there and in terms of disk space it is pretty much doubling every year. We all like our old favorites, but there is a new girl somewhere getting naked for us every day!
Shit. Another novel. Sorry!

Funny thing. I think we all trust CCBill and Epoch because we have used them so much and know what to do when it comes to cross-listings and cancellations, everyone's biggest gripes. CCBill and Epoch have their own sites where you can find your subscriptions and cancel them without having to go through the web site you signed up with. Most of the other billers exist because a) they undercut the above two with lower fees to the web site, b) the web sites don't want to make it too easy for you to cancel, or c) it is the web site's own billing system, so both. Using that logic, I always have to think twice before signing up with a different biller.
I have been screwed out of a couple of hundred bucks by websites/billers that have no clear cancel process, that require you to PHONE them several days in advance to cancel, or that cross list and don't send you any kind of email that you have subscribed to something other than what you intended. CCBIll and Epoch don't do that. (And no matter how careful you are, some sites manipulate their pages in an effort to trick you into a cross-listing. The most common is the "oh, you got that wrong" trick where they show you an entry error, but FAIL to highlight that the cross-listings have quietly been rechecked.) With CCBill and Epoch, you can point this out to them immediately when you sign up and they will reverse it or you can at least see the extra subscription on the biller's site and cancel it before you are charged the big monthly fee. Good luck with other billers.
A simple analogy is that when I buy something on eBay, I expect to be able to pay for it with Paypal. If an eBay seller doesn't use Paypal, I really have to wonder why. As an eBay seller, I use Paypal to ensure that people know they can pay for it easily and that they get all the buyer guarantees that come with it. CCBill and Epoch are the Paypal of porn. Most webmasters who don't use CCBill or Epoch are at the very least, being cheap and at worst, trying to get an extra month's subscription or perhaps a cross-listing fee out of you by making it harder to cancel.
All that said, if a new biller sends me an email with my sign-up information when I sign up and has a separate site that allows me to cancel easily, I will gladly use it. I just can't think of a good one other than the CCBill or Epoch.
Wow, what a novel! Sorry!
