I'm guessing that 50% or more of the sites out there are BS sites in one way or another
Dead sites that don't update or recycle content to make it appear that they update
Sites that update every once in a while but promise things that never actually happen on the site
Mirror other sites with updates that are the most common and most mediocre quality around - just easily licensed or stolen crap
Sites that you join and can't acccess and have no Customer Service to assist you
Sites that automatically charge your credit card for other sites that you did not request and have no Customer Service to assist you
Sites that offer "limited" trial memberships with less available content than you could get in their free promos
Sites that offer trial memberships that you cannot cancel - so you automatically get charged for the full membership
Given that there is a whole world of porn that is based on dishonest business practices, I give great respect to the honest pornsters out there - the people that run sites such as ALS Scan, Met Art, Brazzers Network, Twisty's, One-By-Day, ATK, Hegre, Karups, Danni.com, InFocusGirls, Karen Dreams, Suze.net and many others. With all the BS out there, you gotta respect the people that are really trying to do good work, whether you're thrilled with their content every day or not.
And you gotta appreciate sites such as this one that assist porn fans, crazy as we are, in differentiating the great from the not-so-great and the sheer crapola rip-offs.
The 70's porn stuff was hot for its time. I think that in the early 80's, things heated up. That's when you had adventurous directors like Cecil Howard and Alex DeRenzy start to really spread their wings. Then you had incredibly hotties like Ginger Lynn step into the fray. The quality got attrocious for a while when the shift from film to video happened - that early stuff looks absolutely like crap. In the late 80's, though, you had people like Bruce Seven start to do amazing stuff that paved the way for the best of gonzo.
I still say that if the great stuff being created today blows previous periods away. If I were in a porn theater, and a preview came on for a 70's porn flick and then some great Zero Tolerance vid with Amy Reid posing away, then sucking and fucking for all she's worth, I can guaran-damn-tee that I would be 200% more turned on by the Amy Reid vid.
I think there's a lot of nostalgia impacting the posts in this thread while the voting is a more accurate assessment of reality.
For me - and I've been checking out porn since the 70's - there is no question that the current porn scene is the best. The quality, the variety, the astonishingly hot looks of some of the women doing porn these days - It can all be summed up in one phrase - Thank you, Al Gore!
1st place on this list - Jessica Alba once she has had the baby - damn, that woman is gorgeous!!
2nd place - Christina Aguilera
3rd place - Olsen twins - so long as someone gives them the Italian mama treatment for a month or 3 first - lots of pasta dinners could make them quite snackalicious.
Who doesn't like discounts? I've joined a number of sites with the PU discount - at times I've been looking for a new site to try and have just started looking through the discounted sites to find one to try. It's fun.
How many porn movies have there been with real plots and anything substantial in them? Kris Kramsky did a couple of things that mixed hot sex scenes in with other stuff that was much better than your average porn movie, but other than that...
The Vivid & Wicked stuff that purports to have real plots is boring crap, in my opinion. Vignettes can often be fun - just set up a situation that leads fairly quickly to sex after some tease elements and I'm happy.
ALS Scan has done a number of scenes that I have really liked where the models just talked to the camera before doing a great masturbation scene. That worked well with girls, like Courtney Simpson, that had the confidence and wit to pull that off.
Actually, pat362, female ejaculation started being shown in US porn in the 80's with movies like The Graffenberg spot. But it's gotten much more over the top, like everything else in porn does.
I've seen squirting vids that are fake as 4 dollar bills with CG squirting - and then I've seen scenes like Amber Rayne at ALS Scan where she literally covered the camera man, much to his shock and delight, and that's as real as it gets.
The truth is, like many here, I've got plenty, so I could reasonably entertain myself with my current stash for quite some time - I suppose I could go to strip clubs more often - he he.
If I don't have enough energy to write a full review for a site - because there are a lot of sites that for me aren't really worth that energy - positive or negative - then I'll convey my impressions "Yay or Nay" in comments when the opportunity presents.
I was thinking that the poll was referring to sites that present themselves as review sites, but now that I understand what was meant, my answer is even more definitely "yes", because not only are some porn portals full of redirects and bad sites, but many are also filled with viruses of all kinds.
Since I can find similar info at a number of review sites, the number of review sites that I spend any time on are the ones - well, actually one - this one and The Best Porn - that I feel really make an attempt to give accurate info. There is good discount site info at Rabbits Reviews, I think it is.
Other "review" sites tend to just be advertising vehicles hoping that you'll join the sites through their link so they pick up an affiliate fee. I'm sure that TBP also makes money that way, but it certainly doesn't stop TBP from striving to do honest reviews.
Raven Riley's reviews page is a perfect example of one that I believe exists solely as an affiliate page, and I would have more respect for that whole thing if it presented itself that way.
That would be sad - very sad! As with others here, my entire place would have to go for that to happen, though. A very small percentage of my collection is on my hard drive.
My thoughts exactly, Toadsmith - and the length of time I can "really go", like how big my cock is and how much money I make is one of those things that I always lie about, because it's so much better that way - and if I'm with a girl and I lie in an obvious and silly way and she doesn't think it's amusing, well that's just proof that I'm with the wrong girl - but if she appreciates the absurdity of it all, then I know I'm going to have a good time with her no matter what happens.
But I've never had a porn site yet that displayed a message complaining about me having cum too fast so I must be a real stud!
Yeah, I'm with the majority above. I'm happy to get T-Shirts from porn babes or hats from strip clubs and the like, but they're for a private collection as opposed to wearing them out in public. Why would I want to explain it all? I'm not one of those people that wants to put every aspect of their life out on display - I voted for this person, my kid goes to this school, my favorite musical act is ___, I'm a Pisces with Gemini rising, I like young Asian babes with big boobs - etc.
I like them - quite a bit. I'm not going to surf for porn at work. I've had to report people to their managers when they were doing that stupid shit in a dept full of women - it's begging for a lawsuit otherwise. I guess I've been lucky in finding the ones that I've run across to be quite decent quality. If not, I probably wouldn't care for them. It'd be downright stupid for a webmaster to post a crappy-looking auto-play vid on their site. It'd be like naming their site "Poor Quality Porn 4 You"
Internet porn, no? A fun trip to my fave strip club - most likely - I can think of some gorgeous honeys that I'd like to stimulate - economically and otherwise!
I like tattoos on women. Why? Cause they're guides to erogenous zones. Start kissing and nibbling in every spot where there's a tattoo and you're guaranteed to hear some sexy sounds.
If it's a vid of a photo-shoot - and it really IS a vid of a photo-shoot, well, it makes sense for a professional photographer to have some things to say while they're working, so it doesn't bother me.
I can't remember an interview where a guy added anything - usually they visibly bore the shit out of the girl or just annoy her. Guys talking to set up vignettes usually talk way too much. And in both those situations, I'd much rather have a cute girl talking than some guy anyway.
Yeah, an unnattractive guy in the scene, especially when the girl is acting like he's such a stude, like in some of the Brazzers Network vids, can definitely be a distraction. A guy that's reasonably good looking and acting like he's really hot for the woman can definitely add to a scene.
Even a guy that's not so good looking or an old guy that's acting like he's hot for the girl is better than the type of porn where the guys are more concerned with looking in the mirror than they are fucking the girl - I just hate that shit!
I wind up screaming at my monitor - put your hands on her, asshole! Look at that fabulous body in front of you and you ain't doing shit!
It's rare that I would pay $30/month for a site, and to be perfectly honest, I'm not going to do it unless the site has some special live events with a porn babe that I'm totally in lust with or the site is know to me as having been around for years and having some real depth in their archives. I put 50+ in the poll, but the truth is that I would not be the first in the place unless they were going well beyond that.
For instance, The Black Alley was a site that I was itching to join when they first opened because not only were they providing the material for a new site, but they were announcing that they were going to be providing the archives of Asian4You, a site that had been around for years. I think they were a bit south of $30/month AND they were starting off with a lot of content - that's a site that's going to have me excited.
Some new site that's got just a few galleries and wants to charge $30/month is barking up the wrong tree if they think I'm going to be a customer of theirs.
I like sites that have live cam shows as part of the site, such as Danni.com, Karen Dreams, Adriana Sage, Jana Cova, Nautica Thorne's site or Jenna Haze's site, but I wouldn't pay for a web cam site where that was the whole thing, nor could I see paying $20 or more for a private cam show. The thing that I find amazing is that, despite the development of broadband and the high quality of the streaming that some sites have, few sites have cam shows that look good or work well. Misha's cam shows, for example, almost always look like crap. Phil Flash's used to look good, now they are also postage stamp sized crap.
The site with the best quality web cam shows I've seen lately are at Met Art - in Siberia! What the hell is up with that?
Not to get political or anything, but to me the perverts of the world are the people that do evil shit, people that operate or support or protect death squads, the people that torture or force other people to commit torture - those are the perverts of the world. Child molesters, rapists, wife-beaters - they're all perverts in my mind.
Snowdude - if you like "bald babe" scenes, try to find the Taking It To The Limit scene that Dru Berrymore did when she was a very hot lithe young blonde. She came in with long blonde hair, had a bunch of sexy babes dance for her, including Jill Kelly, looking her absolute best, and Channone - mmmm - then they stripped her, oiled her all up and shaved her bald all over and licked her luscious bod everywhere. Seeing gorgeous nude babes rubbing their bods over her oiled-up freshly shaven head was astoundingly sexy. One of the best kinky fantasy scenes of all time, in my book
In general, though, I'm in the "who cares so long as she looks hot" camp. Most bald women, including Belladonna, look like they're auditioning for the lead in the sequel to GI Jane.
I agree with asmith. I've actually had the opportunity. Living in the Bay Area, it's regarded as a pretty high-flying scene and there have been porn babes that have scheduled scenes to be done where they invited ordinary guys who would be able to fuck them with dildos and hands and such to be broadcast on European TV. I thought about it, but decided it really wasn't anything that I'd be comfortable with. I've gotten my picture taken with strip club dancers and porn stars and allowed those to be posted publicly but they and I were wearing clothes and looking reasonably respectable at the time - that's as far as I'm likely to go in real life.
In my fantasies, well that's a different story. And I suppose that's why, as Seymour Butts always said, you see the same 10 guys in every single porn flick ever made.
