I've joined videobox a couple of times but I never stayed for very long. The first time was the best because I had access to all this amazing content which would have costed me hundreds and probably thousands or dollars if I had bought it in DVD's.
I can't say that I didn't get my moneys worth but once you downloaded what you liked then all you have left is what new content they add. This is where I find that a long term membership is not worth it. I've noticed that a great amount of the newer content is barely 5 to 10 yrs old. That might be the reason why you thinks it's blech! I know that I do. If Videobox brought older content from the 80's and early 90's then I would have a different opinion.

Videobox is great site to rejoin after a year or so, last time I had my membership with the site was about 2 years ago. So I am thinking about rejoining again. I hope the newer stuff they added isn't too bad.

I didn't find the new stuff bad, my problem was that there was nothing there for me. It is Gonzo all the way which is something I'm indifferent to. Most appear to like it when scenes get right to the point and so we have update after update that basically look the same. At least they do to me.

You put your finger right on it, Pat, in what you wrote. I think my problem is that basically anything 5 - 10 years old is generally done Gonzo style and, as I stated in another reply, this is a way of making Porn that I am indifferent to. I hate it when one moment a model is fully clothed and then the next completely naked and in the middle of action and if basically one DVD after the other starts and ends the same with the same action in each it does tend to get tedious.

There is no way to prove it but I think that a large part of why so many updates on Videobox are new content is because it just didn't sell very well and this is a way for them to make some cash with it.
If the movies were so great then why would they offer them on a site like Videobox who charges so little to download it?
I think you and I have a affinity for older porn and since most new updates at Videobox are not that then why stay. I still visit from time to time and I suspect at some point I will join again but I don't want to download crappy porn simply because it's new and flashy.

Yes, I do wish they would produce more porn along the lines of the stuff that was made 20 - 30 years ago, Pat, yet at the same time I could put up with new and flashy if they indeed presented something new and flashy instead of an endless repetition of scenes that look identical except for the faces.
I'm done with DVD sites for a while because I was just as discontent at Videosz and Porn.com, for the same reason. And don't let anyone say I'm becoming jaded from over exposure because good stuff when I come across it now and then still turns me on! :-)

I could also put up with new and flashy if there was actual intent to make a good porn movie. That is not the case. I've heard the arguments back and forth that it's this or it's that but in the end. I'm left with the feeling that it's a lack of actual talent behind the camera. Most of the guys directing porn today couldn't get a job directing traffic. The guys in the 70's and 80's had to have talent because they understood that a sex film without a story was a basic little loop film. Great for backrooms but it was never going to sell tickect in a theater. I think many have forgotten that there were porn theaters and you needed a product that would attract a wide range of customers so gonzo style would never have made any money to the theater ownwers and these were the people that made you money. VHS and Beta kind of killed porn theaters but they were still being made by the same people so these guys wanted to make a decent product.
I'm not jaded about all porn. I'm just jaded about crappy new porn. I can still watch Seka, Arcadia Lake, Lysa Tatcher,Veronica Hart and all those women that made porn fun to watch.
