There's been interesting discussion on Twitter recently by porn performers about whether porn is destructive to the mental health of porn performers - the repeated feedback was that it was the non-porn world that is destructive to the mental health of porn performers - the banks and lenders that refuse to work with porn performers, the "fans" who buy content 1 minute, then bully, stalk and try to shame the same performers the next, etc. | |

Still no new news - very concerning. Wishing Emily the best - very sexy young woman, great performer, genuinely crazy into sex, if her interviews are honest. As someone I respect a lot constantly says, fentanyl changed the game - anybody doing recreational drugs these days is taking huge risks with an incredibly cheap, super-powerful drug being put in pretty much all other drugs being sold to recreational drug users. Unless you have a pharmaceutical test kit to test what you're actually taking, you can be dead just for wanting to "party". The 19 year old son of the former YouTube CEO just died in his UC Berkeley college dorm. It's scary these days. | |

Yeah, the big issue is that it's REALLY cheap so it gets used in everything to make the drugs stronger so it's really easy to overdose on. I live just across the bay from San Francisco where there were 806 overdose deaths in 2023, people see OD deaths every day on the sidewalk, on public transportation... | |

I understand that Jesse Jane had substance abuse issues, wouldn't be surprised if there were some fentanyl in whatever she took - that shit's a stone killer. My fondest memory of Jesse was seeing her do a live-stream, introducing fans to Bibi Jones for the first time. Fans were going bananas for Bibi and Jesse was delighted - "Do I know what you guys like, or what?" Now that I'm a senior citizen, someone dying at the age of 43, they're practically a teenager to me. R.I.P. Masuimi Max I spent a bunch of time with via her webcam shows when I was a member of her site. She was always such a cool friendly person, she didn't strip or do much of that kind of stuff on her webcam shows, she'd just chat, and it was fine, because she was fun and interesting and her husband was always watching car shows in the background so we'd always be listening to the sounds of huge engines revving, which somewhow was the perfect soundtrack. Surprised to hear of her dying so young since she always took good care of herself, ate healthy so she was in shape to travel and model and do her shows, which she was still doing semi-regularly. the world is a bit less wonderfully weird place now. RIP, Masuimi. You were 1 of a kind! | |

Biggest annoyances - The pre-check auto-enroll scam The pay-more-for-download scam The disappearing content scam The premium channel scam. Just be straight-forward - let customers know what you're going to charge and charge that. Have additional content on its own site and advertise it as such. If you're going to remove content for some reason, let your customers know the reason and, if possible, the last date the content will be available, like streaming servces tend to do when series or movies will be removed from the site due to licensing coming to an end. | |

There's an interesting phenomenon in porn social media lately where certain performers/directors are increasingly fed up with stereotypical porn. Daisy Taylor - DaisyTayTay on her instagram - went into a full-fledged rant yesterday about how angry she is about it, both about the "oh-my-god, you have a cock" stereotypes of most story-based trans porn and also the racist fetishing of Black men in porn, concentrated in the material on DogFart's network. Mike Quasar has been a leading director/producer since the earliest days of Zero Tolerance and has been going on in his sardonic sarcastic way for a long time about how bored he is shooting one step-family scene after another and how sad he is at the performers he doesn't get to work with because they don't fit the iimited view of female beauty/roles in industry porn. Janice Griffith's beef is both with the industry stereotypes but also with fans' expectations of performers on social media - the fans who think that because she's posting on social media that she should be available for them to ask out on dates, and that any limits she puts on her engagement with fans shows that she's just a money-grubbing slut. Or the fans that want her to feed their fetishes by talking about her worst experiences in porn. Elsa Jean recently did an interview with Holly Randall talking about how she was done with shooting for porn studios after 1 too many experience that drilled home for her that porn studios are not taking care of the well-being of their performers. With OnlyFans, she can make content where she is in complete control and has built her brand to where she doesn't need to work for studios that don't protect her. Personally I like that we get to see this stuff brought up. I think it's good to question what we as fans are encouraging in terms of treatment of performers both physcially and emotionally and how happy we would be with less stereotypical porn. For me, part of the problem is that I don't like the porn being made by directors/producers that are all about the story - that would really rather be making mainstream movies - because they really don't care about the sex scenes and it shows. Their sex scenes are crap and since I watch porn for the sex scenes, their content doesn't interest me. My absolute favorite scenes are those where I feel like the performers are going on a sexual adventure together - my favorite scene of the past few years was Rocco with Janice Griffith and Alexis Tae - it was intense and unique, the women looked incredible and it felt like they were all in on the experience. I like porn that fetishes women's bodies - butts, sexy clothes, legs, breasts, etc - because it's exciting stuff. While I like a lot of anal porn, I really question how healthy it is for the performers, especially when they're working a lot. I especially question how healthy the stunt-porn being produced in Europe is with the multi-man anal gang-bangs, etc. It's hot stuff, but is it damaging to the performers? I suspect so. | |

To be listed on TBP, sites have to provide TBP reviewers access to the site so they can review it and see that it's safe in the most basic levels. If a site does not provide that access, they aren't listed. The sites that are listed post some scenes of DVD's and there's one well-reviewed site that even has English translation. But personally I'm only interested in sites that post the entire DVD since the set-up in authentic Japanese porn is interesting to me even though I don't understand the language.

The best site for authentic Japanese adult videos currently is JSexNetwork. ActionJav had the edge up until this year due to their rate of uploads - 10 full-length products per day, with a mixture of hentai, full-length premium studio DVD's, leaked uncensored, Chinese videos, etc. The problem is that they put all their eggs in the 10-uploads-per-day basket and are not maintaining their site all that damned well. There have been points in 2023 when you had no access to the site at all, then you weren't able to download anything, then you weren't able to download much, then it was back to "you can download videos uploaded in the past couple of years", which is still a tremendous amount of product, given an upload rate of 10 per day, but it's frustrating to see so much great older material advertised on their site, but not downloadable in reality. Plus they've gotten much worse at Customer Service. The final straw for me was when they suspended my account for too many logins with the same password/username - well, given how poorly their site is maintained, I consider that to be a "their" problem and when they didn't respond to me quickly enough for my liking, I emailed Verotel, their billing agent, and said, "Hey, they locked me out of their site and they're not responding - please cancel my subscription and refund me for the period I'm not using", which they did within 1 hour. So "yay, Verotel" and I'm sorry to see Action JAV not keeping their site up as they should. I think JSexNetwork does a much better job at keeping their site up to date, though their rate of uploads is much less than Action JAV. JSexNetwork uploaded 60 DVD's in March, while at 10 uploads per day, ActionJAV uploaded 300 videos in March. But JSexNetwork keeps their entire library functional, I believe and doesn't have the other issues, in my experience. | |

ActionJav.com has VR videos - 12 added so far this month. But that site is becoming less dependable so I give it a qualified recommendation. Their C/S has disappeared entirely and there are days when their downloads don't work at all so you have to stream whatever you want to see. | |

Only-Fan is definitely a challenge to sites. Lots of talent making money on their own, not needing or wanting to work for someone else. But there are certainly a lot of sites still producing content consistently post-covid. Porn's always gone in a cycle and you have to work harder now to find new hot girls, since anyone who is smart and established talent is mainly going to Only-Fans route. | |

Since I'm old as hell, I'm always interested in podcasts that touch on the history of the business, this one with Francisca Le & Mark Wood does that, and it's a unique perspective from a couple that are business and artistic partners that have worked at high levels of the porn industry since the 1990's: https://blogs.adultempire.com/2022/04/02...mark-wood-interview/ | |

Historically, Paypal has been the worst, most arbitrary, most censorious, most unreasonable payment processor there is. They'll freeze people's accounts and take all their money at the drop of the hat. | |

I'd do more reviews of Asian DVD sites, a fave genre of mine, if they were listed in PU/TBP's registry of sites, but the sites don't give PU/TBP the info they need, so... I thought I'd start a forum thread to collect some info on this genre - feel free to delete the thread if this breaks rules I'm not aware of: ActionJAV is my favorite of this genre because I like frequent updates and Action JAV updates with 10 new updates almost every single day - I can recall a day or 2 that they failed to do so. The updates used to be 10 full DVD's from a variety of Japanese studios. I find full DVD's infinitely more interesting than the selected scenes that some of the most prominent Japanese DVD sites post - the set-up, the tease, etc, can be really entertaining - if not, you can skip to the action. Probably as a result of fan feedback, Action JAV is now uploading a mix of Japanese DVD's, which always include mosaic/masking of vaginas and penises with uncensored/leaked material, some Japanese, some Chinese. Most of this uncensored/leaked material is much more amateurish than the Japanese DVD's being put out by major studios, and sometimes there is just 1 actual scene with a bunch of ads. But as I say, there are 10 updates per day so you would hardly be begging for more material. One caveat with this site is that they make room for new material by taking down old material without warning, so you may try to stream or download a listed DVD from several years ago and find that it is not available - There is also not a lot of new work being done to list new material under the performer's name, so you may have to search under the performer's name to find all of the material on the site featuring that performer rather than being able to click on her name. But that's the price one pays for having them continue with the main selling point of the site - 10 updates per day. There also are not a lot of download options - there is one - most full DVD's are in the 6 gb range - some double-DVD updates are close to 20 gb to dl. I have never run into a download limit with this site. The other site I like a lot is JSexNetwork. JSexNetwork has a much more complicated design because they have a section of gravure - really cool and extensive but not updated in years, AV Movie Express - I don't know what the point of this section is - it really just points you to their DBank page, which is where all new updates of official Japanese porn are located, various pages of amateur and uncensored material, the DBank listing of official Japanese porn and the New Stuff listing, which is where you can peruse everything being added to the site. They don't update every single day. They don't have a set schedule. On days when they do update, they update with 2 or 4 DVD's, some of which are official Japanese porn and some of which are leaked uncensored material, including material involving top Japanese pornstars of the present or the past, like Mihiro. Most of their official Japanese porn (with mosaic) is offered in 2 download options - the larger is usually about 5 gb to download, the smaller is less. This site puts a lot more effort into updating the performer's movie lists and in making sure that their catalogue continues to all be available than does ActionJAV. The trade off is that this site will average 60 updates in a month while ActionJAV will average 300. Anybody else have favorite sites in this genre? I remember reading a review by Exotics of an Asian DVD site that included English translation, but danged if I can find it - I remember AsiaMoviePass used to be a good site years ago, but COVID might have killed it because looking at the site now, it shows 0 updates since May 16, 2020.

The Only Fans thing has drastically changed the porn industry. Yes, sites are still creating content but any new girls with a semblance of a brain knows that the way to make money is to build her own social profile and OF. So delightful newbies like Dakota Tyler have much fewer scenes on industry sites than would have been the case in other times. This might change if the threatened MasterCard crackdown comes about, but until then we really don't see much of a plethora of new delights. | |

I recommend doing it as a forum post. TBP/PU is an affiliate business, basically, so the sites that TBP reviews are sites that give them access so they can do the review and they promote the sites that they're able to do discounts for, etc. A site like indexxx.com doesn't really fit that model for having reviews and there are a lot of sites, including the best Japanese Adult Video sites, that don't give TBP access or have any affiliate program that TBP can use so they don't list them | |

Agreed 100% - I hadn't realized that Jay Sin had been convicted 2 years before the content was pulled. According to this article: https://mikesouth.com/reader-mail/is-the...-reader-email-72488/ Jay Sin's wife told Stagliano directly when the arrest occurred in 2020, which makes sense, since Stagliano has referred to Jay Sin as his friend, and if your spouse has been arrested, you'll probably let their friends and business partners know pretty quickly. The only think I can surmise is that EA & Gamma thought this might be a big problem with credit card companies before too long and they decided to act first and get on a high horse while doing so. | |

I don't know if I'm the first one to notice that Jay sin content was now gone from Evil Angel's site or the only one not to have paid attention to what happened to him, but I just discovered tonight that his content was all gone from Evil Angel and when I did the google thing I found this from late March 2022: Evil Angel (c/o founder John Stagliano) Recently Jay Sin was convicted and imprisoned for "Access with Intent to View Child Pornography, in violation of Title 18 of the United States Code - Section 2252 (a) (4) (B)." Evil Angel has decided to remove all Jay Sin's content from our online distribution. A conviction of a sexually related crime is against the ethics of Evil Angel. I was informed of his indictment, conviction, and incarceration over the weekend and that was confirmed to me yesterday. Jay Sin's conviction is not related to any content distributed by Evil Angel. None of it was involved with, or contains, any criminal activity. The details on how to handle content from Jay Sin that has been marketed by Evil Angel customers, either through the Internet or by DVD, can be worked out by calling Alexandra Kelley in the Evil Angel offices alex@evilangel.com or by emailing me directly at john@evilangel.com. Well, that's freaking awful. | |

Everyone seems to have had different reactions to the vaccines and boosters. I assumed that the booster would make me feel unwell to some extent so I got the booster & flu shot on the same day in October on a Saturday morning, felt crappy the rest of the weekend, was fine on Monday. I never got much arm pain in response to any of the Pfizer shots, though I know a lot of other people that did. On the topic of comedians who broached sensitive subjects, the great Gilbert Gottfried just passed away. I truly loved that guy - he was like a comic gnome. I remember his response to losing his Aflec gig over making a Twitter joke about the tsunami. He said something like "Only a crazy person would think that after the tsunami, people in Japan would be thinking, 'I was having such a pleasant day until that Gilbert Gottfried made that rude joke!'" There's a great scene in the movie The Aristocrats where Gilbert is at a roast of Hugh Hefner. This was shortly after 9/11 and Gilbert made a joke about trying to find a way around NYC with the landmarks gone and people in the audience shouted "Too soon!" Gilbert's response was to instead tell the longest filthiest joke ever conceived. | |

Black comedians have done comedy for decades about threats and violence against Black people, so as Wraith says, comedy has been used very well to address serious life-and-death subjects. South Park has done episodes about abortion issues and other things that are life-and-death issues and taken very seriously by large portions of the population. As to the deaths of vaccinated people, there are generalized stats about how much vaccinations protect against illness, but not every human being has the same chemistry. I used to work with a woman who couldn't use aloe vera because it would burn her. There's also the issue of boosters. The point of the boosters was that they found that all of these vaccinations started losing effectiveness after 6 months. If I recall the stats, Moderna was down to 50% effectiveness, PFeizer was down in the 65% range and J&J a bit higher, but still not much more than 70% effective, so that left a big vulnerability for people who were not boosted. Which is why once again they're talking about another booster. I'm well over 50 and I'm planning on going to a big music festival at the end of April, so I'll be trying to get boosted again next weekend. | |

Another really good Holly Randall podcast, this one with ChristianXXX, who is always pretty outspoken, though Holly Randall is taken aback by Christian's reluctance to talk in depth about the goings-on at Naughty America. Too bad that he doesn't talk about that period. I remember quite well when the first Lauren left (fired, per Christian) and the other Lauren took over. It was such a strange company. They had seemingly built a devoted fanbase, which they then tore to pieces with their bizarre sudden changes to their business model. It's not surprising to hear how caustic Christian is to younger male pornstars acting all virtuous for suddenly being open to fucking trans performers when Christian paid a huge price for doing so years before it was hip and virtuous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkxEUnsAEEc | |

Agreed - joining 1 site through Gamma, no problems. Do an add-on to an existing sub, expect problems every time you log into your add-on site (emails about how you've been blocked for sharing your log-on info, doing too many multiple log-ons from various devices, other bs). | |

One thing I found really disappointing was Larry David deciding to produce the newest season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in a non-COVID world. I understand that there is friction between people having different feelings about COVID and all the rules and requirements and all that, but that seems to me to be the gift that keeps on giving for someone like Larry David, whose stuff is all about friction between people and the absurdities of trying to navigate daily life. Someone on Twitter this morning posted a long thread of all the Seinfeld storylines that could relate to vaccines and masks and social distancing and "alternative" COVID treatments etc. Some people are doing some fun stuff. I've seen Lauren Chen start to do some amusing tik-tok stuff but the door's wide open for some people to do a bunch of sketch comedy about the absurdities and discomforts and frictions of dealing with a world where COVID is still affecting lots of things. Hell, Quebec is coming up with new crazy things by the day. The other day, they were talking about prohibiting non-vaccinated people from buying alcohol, today they were talking about some new fines for non-vaccinated people. | |

If you've got a membership with a Gamma/Fame site and you see a tempting offer for an add-on membership - like if you've got a membership to Adult Time and you see an offer to join Evil Angel for life for some ridiculously low price - while the offer is a good one, a) their add-on offers don't include downloads, so you'll think you're getting a deal that includes downloads, then you'll find out very quickly that it does not and that you would be needing to spend a lot of other money for downloads and b) their system can't handle add-ons and you'll be having nothing but problems with your membership getting constantly de-activated for abuse. Here's an email I'm about to send after having these nightmares after getting a 1-month add-on membership to Zero Tolerance having Gamma/Fame deactivate my Evil Angel account just about every time I log into the damned thing: This is the THIRD time you imbeciles have deactivated my account for some supposed abuse. The real problem - I took you up on an offer to join another one of your sites - Zero Tolerance - and every time I log into that site, you imbeciles deactivate my Evil Angel membership for the "abuse" of having given your stupid company MORE MONEY! What the fuck? I will never ever ever ever make this mistake again. I thought MindGeek was bad, but their company handles add-ons a million times better than Fame/Gamma does! | |

Listen to interviews with people in porn and the reality is that some girls aren't cut out to do porn and they find that out really quickly. Some complete the 1 scene that they showed up to do, some express discomfort on set and are sent home by responsible producers before the scene is ever filmed with a message that "This is not the business for you - do something else." | |

Holly Randall comes through, again, with a clear cogent explanation of what was driving OF's actions - apparently MasterCard gave OF until October 1st to sign an agreement that they were monitoring all content on the site to be sure that it was all lawful activity - No CP, especially. Since OF had no way to monitor all of the content, including live shows for thousands and thousands of content providers, they chose to institute a ban on sexually explicit content as of October 1st - then backed down when they realized that they would go out of business if all their customers disappeared - but how have they dealt with the MC deadline? That's the big unknown. Is MC going to stop processing credit cards for OF on October 1st? Unknown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Il2otsHHY | |

Not surprising, as they calculated just how quickly their entire customer base would have been gone. I hope smart adult content creators bargain with OF and other platforms for the highest percentage of the money possible. | |

Weirdest porn podcast I've heard - TT Boy's podcast with Peter North as his guest. Holly Randall, at times, is not beyond working to get compliments from her guests, but I've never hear the insecurity-on-steroids that we get from TT Boy on this podcast - "How many girls did you bang before you got into porn? I nailed 150!" "Who was your favorite partner in those 2-man scenes? Me, right? Did I ever let you down? Ever? No, right? I was always raring to go, right?" Talking about porn actors with actual acting ability - "but they weren't wild men like me, were they?" Peter North is a pretty low-key guy and mainly just nods, but TT Boy is like nothing I've ever seen. | |

Exactly - If Amazon had announced that they were going to eliminate books and everything else that people came on their site to buy, then one could make a comparison of Amazon and Only Fans. Only Fans exists because it's a place where customers go to join sites offering adult content - period. What's going to be left at OF after the adult content creators leave? Nothing that YouTube doesn't offer a million times more of. | |

Of course, all of the adult content creators can go elsewhere, as well as all of their customers. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of discussion on Twitter about where they will be going. Then we can look forward to seeing Only Fans declare bankruptcy in a few months. | |

And another new article on Only Fans. It looks like the owners of OF are looking at the tea leaves and getting ready to leave adult behind. Given how profitable this model has proven to be, it will be interesting to see who - or how many companies - step in to replace them in the world of adult: https://www.businessinsider.com/onlyfans...ove-1-billion-2021-6 | |

Given the lack of communication from Mind-Geek, absolutely anything is possible. | |

I listen to a lot of Holly Randall's podcasts. She has interviewed a lot of porn-stars, like Eva Lovia, who are using OF to have more control over their content and to make more money besides. Mike Quasar, who has worked for every company in porn, just about, has posted on Twitter that girls are making so much money on OF that they're blowing off their scheduled non-OF shoots, so he winds up on set with a crew and male talent and no female talent. But I think it's very uneven - Lauren Chen and Marie Oakes, who come from a conservative direction, have a really interesting discussion about that and other issues with OF in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq2OjpVYcgo&t=1510s | |

The one thing that is clear from the "Me Too" movement is that there are a LOT of women that don't like the way that men deal with them. The independent pro wrestling scene was heavily impacted by that movement. Joey Ryan was a very popular independent pro wrestler who ran a very popular indie promotion in L.A. called BAR Wrestling - every show they ran was packed and he was very much in-demand as an independent pro wrestler across the country. His gimmick was that he acted like a 70's porn star, looked a buff oiled Harry Reems and he would get his opponents to touch his genital area during his matches and then they would flip over, giving the impression that he had flipped them over with his penis. When all the "Me Too" stuff broke open, Joey Ryan had MANY women talking about him pressuring them into sex, forcing himself on them, etc, etc. His defense was to come up with all these texts from these women about how much fun they had with him. It didn't matter. They were telling a different story and he became persona non grata. The venue that had been hosting BAR Wrestling broke any connection with him and BAR Wrestling and he couldn't get booked anywhere. The ironic thing is that before he became a target, he was one of the most active "cancel culture" advocates, leading the charge against anybody that he considered to be homophobic or anti-progressive in any way. | |

Another great episode of Holly Randall's podcast that can be found on Youtube is her talk with Francois Clousous & Mike Quasar, 2 guys who have worked in porn for decades, seen everything and banter like 2 Catskill comics. You won't want to listen to it if your laughter will be bothering anybody, because at some point they'll get to you. But they're also serious about the business & protecting the business and protecting performers, especially young performers who sometimes have no clue what they're getting themselves in for and need someone professional to say, "No, you're not comfortable doing this. This scene is over. You need to just go home and do something else with your life." | |

I continue to really enjoy Hollie Randall's podcasts/interviews. Some of the best I've heard lately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9WTwCLmlKo&t=4881s John Stagliano is always interesting and he takes the time to go through his whole history - and then Holly gets into territory that's pretty uncomfortable, talking about complaints from different performers about Evil Angel shoots and what EA could/should be doing to more fully inform their performers and get complete consent to absolutely everything that's going to occur in a scene. To his credit, Stagliano doesn't poo-poo any of what Holly brings up, and doesn't take it as an attack. He deals with the issues pretty thoroughly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi4QEL0YNeU Holly's interview with Rob Piper was one of the most surprising interviews I've heard with a porn performer because Rob's a pretty deep guy. He talks about scenes that have gotten intensely emotional, he talks about scenes that had to be ended before they started, he talks about the multiple books he's writing. | |

Lifetime memberships are not always lifetime memberships. I had a lifetime membership to Playboy Plus as an add-on to Brazzers. Then PlayboyPlus decided to disconnect from that portal and decided that I should only have another 3 months on my lifetime membership - at least they didn't send a hit man to kill me. On the other hand, I had a lifetime membership to a different site as an add-on to Brazzers that also disconnected themselves from the Brazzers portal. They have still - so far - honored my membership without me paying another dime. I'm not going to name them and curse my luck, but they're cool in my book. | |

There are a few OF sites that include live streams. Some - like Riley Reid - do them on the spur of the moment and if you don't happen to be online at the time, that's it. Some - like various Suicide Girls models and Hime Marie - let you know in advance when they'll be live-streaming. Hime Marie does it in place of Chaturbate stuff that she used to do. She's more in control, has less trolls and she makes significant money so she'll do 2-3 hour shows when she does them. As to downloadable, pc's have capture software as basic apps these days, so yes, it's completely downloadable. | |

For the most laugh-out-loud war stories in a porn podcast, I highly recommend Holly Randall's interview with Elsa Jean. Elsa's little-girl voice makes her stories of male talent breaking down in tears, calling their mommy and daddy even funnier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DipTRbWdp5s | |

Here's the latest scam from Bang Bros - and as you say it's truly puzzling because content-wise, it's quite a legitimate site - I was strolling the internet last night and took a look at a number of different previews of different sites, including a couple of previews of BangBros scenes from years ago. To my utter shock, when I checked my email later, I had an email saying, "Thanks for joining Bang Bros". I was like "What the fuck?" There was NOTHING I had seen that mentioned ANYTHING about joining Bang Bros! NOTHING!! I immediately emailed customer service at the biller who had sent me the email and demanded that they refund me immediately. I got a response that there was no refund available because when I had joined previously - who knows how long ago, I had agreed to their terms and conditions, which included One-Click Purchasing, which apparently means that if you ever click on any preview of a Bang Bros scene, they will then charge the card you had previously used to join. They then said that, as a courtesy, they could refund me 50% of what they had charged me for the membership. Rather than go through all the hassle of cancelling my card, etc, I agreed to take the suggested refund and told them to disable the one-click purchasing on my account, which I doubt they will do. So I congratulate TBP on stopping doing business with these hoodlums. I truly don't get it. Why do you want to do this bullshit when you have a legitimate site? Whatever - if you've ever been a member of Bang Bros before, though, be sure to NEVER EVER EVER click on a preview of any Bang Bros material unless you want to be charged full price for their site! | |

No, I've never seen her hard-core scenes. She posted a teaser on Twitter several months ago of a boy-girl scene. She must not have gotten a good response, as the scene itself has not yet been posted on her site. I've been a member of her solo site a couple of times. The videos are good to great masturbation scenes, most averaging 8 minutes and she tends to post 1 video a week. She tends to post several photo sets per week, though most of them are very small 10 pics or so. I'd stick around her site longer if she did longer photo sets. The videos are all stream-only. | |
