marcdc1's Review
It isn't often that those of us who join straight sites would get an opportunity to review a gay site. I think it is a great idea that you did this since we only have a few gay/bi members here so adding gay site reviews is a good thing.
On a semi-related note, I've been a regular Kink subscriber off and on pretty much since they started. They have some of the best BDSM-themed porn available on the internet. I'm really happy that they turned their membership into a 'network' rather than subscribing to single sites. But my take (and I've read similar opinions here and elsewhere) is that Kink has lost some of its edge and may be slipping from its place at the top of the heap. What are your thoughts on that?
This will fall into the category of TMI but I've never, ever had the courage to open any of the gay Kink sites even now that there is full network access. I'd have no trouble at all reviewing a 'mainstream' gay site but as someone afflicted with really, really sensitive testicles there is no way I could watch any scene with cock and ball torture without passing out! :-)

One of the big advantages that TBP/PU has is that you get the 'professional' side of things, TBP, which can list new sites and give some great information on sites. But then on the PU side you often get a deep dive into a site that normally takes more time than the professional reviewers could devote to a site. For example, I've found download limits because as a user I probably download a lot more than a professional reviewer would. Having both views is the real value here. If any site has a real flaw it’s likely that someone here has found it.

Wow!
I'm not challenging what you are describing, but I've joined Amateur Allure many times over the past few years and have never had a problem joining or cancelling. They did a complete site redesign recently and maybe they added this new code thing in. I rejoined a few weeks ago (after the site redesign) and I didn't experience anything different. Just now, based on your comments, I went on the site and downloaded 10 videos to see if I had the same problem as you. Normally all I do is go on and download the latest update every Friday. I had no problem with ten downloads back-to-back. They do have a download limit but it is fairly high and not something that should trigger after one video. Most times the site is pretty good at responding to emails. Would you let us all know how this turns out please?

Thanks! (Apart from decency we do share some other common traits. Like being Canadian and being the same age. I remember reading your posts early on and thinking 'could this guy be my long-lost brother???' :-)

Agreed. We may have a few differing opinions on some things but we're a lot more alike than we are different.

The issue isn't additional unwanted charges. It's the inability to cancel. Dozens of us here have had that problem with Centrobill.

exotics4me's Review
I have to weigh in and say that this is one of the most informative reviews I've read in a long time. Admittedly, I've been thinking of taking the Bang Bros plunge again (I haven't been a member there for a few years because of their shady billing practices) and your review is really helpful.
Bang Bros is likely the one site that many of us would name where the site itself is excellent but the experience can be seriously dampened by the tactics the site uses to get more money from users without them even knowing.
Your tips in avoiding at least some of their crap will be useful for all readers.

Thanks for that additional information. I suspect that after I looked at the other company sites and realized that I don't know any of them after years of porn buying that would be another red flag. Anal, butt-centric or not, I'll stay away.

Thanks for replying to my message with some interesting information. I suspect that a driving factor for a lot of EE/Russian models in porn (gay and straight) is that is it probably a factor of the economies in many of those places. But then again, the same can be said in North America. If a young person with no marketable skills other than their looks wants to make some money then porn can be an option.

I have to admit that while I don't have any real interest in gay sites (nothing against them, I'm just straight) I make it a point to read all well-written reviews and that includes the ones you write.
I have a question though - it seems like a higher proportion of gay sites have Eastern European and Russian models (or maybe just non-American) than I'm used to seeing with straight porn. I'll confess that I haven't thought this through at all and that since I don't collect a lot of EE/Russian porn that may skew my perception. But is there a relatively high proportion of EE/Russian models in the gay side of the industry?

I sort of did a test drive on giving up TV. Last November my wife wanted to cut the cable and I put up no resistance. It'd be a rare week when I watched more than an hour and I could go weeks on end without it. I didn't think she'd last as long as she did, but a few weeks ago she signed up again. But it's been three weeks now (maybe four) and I still haven't had it on.
(In the interests of full disclosure, I am PVR-ing the new Ken Burns series on PBS called "The Vietnam War." I've liked some of Burns' stuff in the past so I can see myself binge-watching this some cold January weekend.)

Interesting review. I'm a big fan of this site too. I like the whole premise of it and I also like how the scenes begin with the girl sleeping.
Come to think of it, we share a lot of common opinions about this site...

If you dig around you'll find more like this. I reported the two I mentioned and got an email that they were fixed. They obviously aren't. It surprises me that all of their members aren't complaining about the broken links so much that they actually get fixed. With a couple of the dead links I was able to access the site by going to IAFD and looking up the title and then searching those specific stars on the JJ site. That didn't fix the whole problem since some scenes aren't associated with DVDs on the site.

What is your experience like with broken links on the site? I've been a member at Jules Jordan multiple times and that is something I notice a lot more of than on comparable sites.
To use two examples, two of the most recent updates, Manuel Ferrara's Ripe 4 and Double Black Penetration 4 are dead links. In fact, I can't even see the DVD cover for Ripe 4. For both, clicking on the link merely cycles me back to the main DVD page. Is your experience different?
I emailed the site last weekend and they said it was fixed but I see no change.
I wouldn't ordinarily be so picky but I've noticed this every time I have a membership there.
Do you have a similar experience?
(I should add that I've tried the usual things on my end, including using a different browser, but nothing works. I still get the broken links.)

I've been burned by similar sites. My guess is that Open Life tacks these 'solo' sites on so that can call themselves a network. I haven't been a member at Open Life in a while but I recall mostly liking it. (It's odd that I didn't review it though...)
