The site is anonymous to a degree. And how likely are we to meet? Even if we do, would we be wearing our PU membership badges and carrying a sign to identify us to each other? Unless PU sponsors a convention, the chances of us hooking up in real life are pretty slim.
So I think it's safer to talk openly about sex here at PU than with real-life friends or relatives.
You only have to worry about how much the FBI and Department of Defense and Homeland Security are keeping records on what we write.
slutty, I took it as a compliment that you basically agreed with my review. I did not intend my reply as showing any disagreement. I just tend to ramble a lot, and sometimes people read into my words ideas I did not mean at all. You did not come off as compative (though I am not really sure what compative means).
There's a lot of the network I haven't seen myself. Or downloaded.
I assume you joined the network through the spunkybee site? Or did you find another site with a better offer?
There is a model named Klara at this site that is also called Aurita and Vera at the site. She started in porn maybe a year ago, and is appearing on a lot of different sites in both softcore and hardcore, at TeenMegaWorld network, Nubiles, and other sites. I think she even has 1 photoset at Met-art. I find her very attractive, and her videos at this site are among the best of the site. You might want to check her videos out at this site.
There are two other models named Klara at this site. I thought the video of the model named Klara with only one video at this site, listed as "Kaspar and Klara on video", that downloads as 252.wmv, is a good video.
I think that scoring a site is very subjective, and the score itself is only a very general opinion. Just like one critic might think a movie is excellent while another critic thinks the movie is just good or just OK, or possibly a waste of time, people will find different values in a porn site.
I gave the site a very high score because I liked the way the girls were treated with respect or affection instead of being treated as sluts or whores like many gonzo videos show.
But someone else could give the site a score of 80 or even 70 and I
wouldn't really disagree with their score, because that is their opinion.
I could have given the site a score of 80 myself, with no problem. I know that PU/TBP appears to believe a score represents something solid, but I do not. When I read a review, I am less interested in the score, which is a very general guide of the reviewer's opinion, than in the details of the review, what the person likes and dislikes about the site.
As far as acting as a possible guide to my joining the site, a lot depends on whether my tastes agree with the reviewer's. Many sites that get very high scores are not sites I would ever join, because I don't like the content of the sites.
I agree that navigation is not perfect. But I have a slow DSL connection, and what really helps me is having nice-sized thumbnails to show what the models look like. That makes it much easier for me to decide whether to view the video. At other sites in the network, there is no good-sized thumbnail, so I have to try streaming, which sucks for me with slow DSL, and some sites don't even have streaming. With no streaming, then I have to download the video, which can easily take two hours or more. So that's why I said the navigation is good, because for me, it's so much better than what some of the other sites have.
My current ISP DSL download speed maxes out at 150-160 KB/s. I am seriously considering paying more for a faster connection.
Until I do get a faster connection, the 3-day trials are not that helpful to me. To download a single 1.3 GB video file takes about 2 hours 30 minutes, and if I'm surfing the Internet or looking at other sites, that slows my download speed so the download takes even longer.
I can't really watch these videos as streaming, because they mostly stutter and stop, stutter and stop, while playing.
So I just need a faster connection. :)
There do appear to be a large number of videos at the Tony Bucks network. My experience has mainly been softcore photosets. I haven't seen any of the videos at Tony Bucks at other sites. There are some attractive models here.
slutty, please see my comment posted today, titled "Special offer ends today". It explains a cheaper way to join the network, and to get access to 10 sites in the network, instead of just access to 1 or 3 sites in the network. That comment was added to the 18stream page at PU. I posted my reply to you as a comment, instead of a reply here, because PU limits the lines and length of a reply. :)
(Continuation of original comment. Added because comments are limited to a certain number of characters and a certain number of lines.)
If you join the same network from one of the other sites in the network, you will probably pay $29.95 for 1 month, but you will get a smaller number of bonus sites in your membership. You can get access to anywhere from 3 or more sites, up to 10 sites, depending on which site you join through. There are 11 sites in the network, but I didn't see any offer which included all 11 sites.
It makes no sense, offering access to different numbers of sites depending on which site you join through, but that's the way it sometimes happens.
At each of their sites, they advertise that the special offer ends today.
Maybe they will extend the offer, maybe not.
But if you are seriously considering the network, I would take advantage of the special offer, and join today, and join through the spunky bee site.
If done right, a softcore or midcore video can be erotic. But most softcore videos are boring. Take a look at the Metart videos, which can feature lovely teens, and their videos are almost all a waste of time. While photosets of the same models can be strongly erotic. I wish someone would explain the reasons for that in a simple way.
Is masturbation softcore? If I had to choose between softcore and hardcore, I would put masturbation in the hardcore category. Simple nudity is softcore, but any sexual act would belong in the hardcore category, beyond simple kisses to the face.
Most softcore videos are really boring, no matter how attractive the model might be. I don't know why that is, but that's my reaction to most softcore videos.
Softcore photos can be extremely erotic, but it's hard to find good softcore videos.
Not a Japanese expert, but the mosaic blurry-thing is something you have to learn to accept, since it is present in most hardcore Japanese porn. I don't like it blurry, but Japanese porn can have a different flavor, lots of pretty Japanese models, and I don't really know if it's worth trying to find Japanese porn without the mosaic.
Thanks for the positive vote, TheSquirrel. But my reviews are really far below the outstanding reviews of someone like Toadsith. That guy has the technical knowledge, clear thinking, organization and way with words to write reviews that are informative and a pleasure to read.
There is definitely a hard-pro tone to most of the videos here. A few of the girls appear new to porn, but that is the exception. And even the new girls, if you see them in a second or third video clip, are fast turning into pros.
Personal taste varies widely. I don't know what you like. There were a few videos I found a year ago that I thought were very interesting and colorful, but I can't find them this time. Which is disappointing.
For $10 you get a 1-month membership to 22 different sites. (I don't know what the rate is for Europe). That is a very low price for around 5 sites that are solid hard-core video sites, with the other sites being niche sites (tranny, Indian [the country], etc.).
But it all depends on what turns you on.
There are sites out there that are worth the money. You just have to keep searching, and keep up the strength. Life, and porn, is what you make of it. :)
If you are a serious collector and you want all of the Rocco DVDs, you won't find them here. The guy has been in the business a huge number of years, and his output is tremendous. What you do get is a large number of scenes from his older work, and an even larger number of scenes from his more recent work (recent going back 10 years or more). You also get scenes/vid clips where he does not appear, but he is in a large number of the clips. As I said, he is the star of the site, and he takes a lot of pride in his porn star status.
I do agree with you that the price is very reasonable, because you get access to a large number of sites in the network. There are maybe 5 sites that are the main value, and a bunch of niche sites that might have some content that you might like, or find interesting, or a waste of time. Personal preferences vary widely. :)
For $10 for a 1-month membership, I definitely think the site/network is worth checking out.
At 10 Kb/s, a single high quality video clip could easily take 10 to 15 hours to download. Are you sure the download speed is that slow? When I had dialup, my download speed was usually between 1 and 4 Kb/s, but that was dialup. I could never go back to those speeds if I wanted to download photosets or video clips. It would drive me crazy.
There are more than enough hardcore pornstars. What we really need are more cute and adorable softcore models. And some competent photographers that will present them in attractive and innovative ways. But without too much photoshopping or colorized skin tones or overly artsy styles.
Playboy and Penthouse back in the 1970s had some of the best models they ever had, and many of them were presented in a lovely way, even if the girls were photoshopped a little too much.
Thanks for the information, Drooler. I didn't know you were still a current member.
There are a few models at Rigin that I really like. But I will pass on the site, because I just don't have the patience to manually copy each photo from a set. I did manual copying years ago at some sites with no zips, but no more.
$19.95/month is the price listed at PU. Not really sure what you are trying to say. If you do not use the PU link, the "regular" price is $29.95/month.
Edit01: Perhaps the price listed at PU was different from $19.95/month when you made your comment. Is that why you made your comment? Your comment is so short, it's hard to figure out what you were trying to say, or mean. :)
Not in my backyard. If you understand the reasoning behind that, then you understand that porn is evil, will contaminate anyone who comes into contact with it, and if you are foolish enough to admit that you might have seen a pornographic image once in your life, you risk being excommunicated from polite society.
Of course, those same people can fuck and suck and do whatever, because that's their God-given right.
It's not quite hypocrisy. It's more like double-vision: They see themselves as blessed, and we are obviously damned.
Monahan, you were born around 1952. So you were around 10 years old in the early 1960s. So what happened: instead of hiring a baby sitter, your parents dropped you off at a burlesque theater with strippers? No wonder you grew up addicted to porn? Lol.
The same sort of thing happened to me a few days ago.
I joined the Devils Film network, and was signed up for a separate trial membership to Porn Access. The Porn Acess membership was only $1.95 for 3 days, but it would renew at around $30 after 3 days unless cancelled. I looked for, but did not see, any pre-checked agreement for a trial membership.
But I was lucky that I was only charged $1.95 for the trial membership I did not want. I called customer service immediately, told them I did not want the trial membership, did not see the pre-checked agreement. Customer service would not cancel my charge of $1.95 for the trial, but they did cancel my trial membership.
I never used the trial membership.
But it was only $1.95.
I got a message from my credit card company to contact the credit card company. They wanted to know if the charge for $1.95 was valid, or if there was fraud (evidently, they have a program flagging charges by the billing company Porn Access uses). I told them the charge was valid, because I didn't want to get a new credit card number and whatever else I would have to explain about the charge.
You would think that we would be experts about these pre-checked agreements. But I sometimes wonder that sometimes the agreement might not even be shown on the sign-up page, because I was looking for the pre-checked line, and did not see it.
Live and learn. But what can we learn if we honestly don't see the pre-checked agreement?
Is it too much to ask for some good old-fashioned sex, with maybe a little tenderness or emotion or eroticism in there?
People can get bored with sex, so how about some fetishism.
But I would prefer some sex that is less kinky, less gonzo.
