I'm more of a hoarder than some of the others who answered this question, but I'm okay with download limits as long as they are reasonable. In 2017 having a limit of 10 or even 20GB per days isn't reasonable given file sizes.

I think we're living in a Golden Age of porn. High-speed internet has changed everything. I have access to virtually anything I want in the comfort of my own home. I don't need to go to the porn shop and risk having a busload of neighbours drive by as I exit with a VHS tape. Canada's porn laws are still pretty draconian so stuff like what Kink.com sells online would never make it across the border in a physical format but now I can subscribe and download what I want. And storage is so much easier now. If I had the porn collection back 20 years ago that I do now it would fill my basement. Now it is a couple of dozen external drives in a locked briefcase.
Having said that though, I have really fond memories of when I started to be a collector, which was in the early-to-mid 1990s. I've been able to source a lot of my favourites from that time online and while the resolutions are crappy I still enjoy them. And unlike my entire collection which is backed up, some of these treasured titles are double-backed-up.

Valid points. I'd likely sign on for that rate. The drawback for LP would be that many subscribers wouldn't keep recurring membership but would join occasionally to download the scenes posted since the last time they joined. But it would still be very profitable for them. And I agree that the ticket system probably prevents some people from 'joining' who would otherwise take a membership.

It's strange that the site is affiliated with 45 other big sites (like Team Skeet) and this is the only one where they don't list the models. I subscribe to a lot of sites in the course of a year and this is the only one that I know of that doesn't list models.
It's close to a deal breaker for me too. I might email them with a suggestion but I'm sure the chances of them listening to a customer is about zero.

I suspect that they are already raking in huge amounts of cash with their current business model which gives them little incentive to change it. They also show no signs of any kind of decline that might otherwise cause them to try something new.
Bear with me while I make some completely uneducated assumptions.
The latest Charlotte Sartre scene is currently showing about 55,000 views. I highly doubt that means that so far 55,000 people have bought the scene. I suspect that number is how many people have accessed the page or watched the trailer. My biggest assumption is on the number of people who then buy the scene. Charlotte is a big-name American star so I’m guessing that a conservative estimate would be that 5% of people who access the scene buy it. That would mean so far that 2750 people have bought it at approximately $5.50USD for a total of just over $15,000USD. I suspect that amount probably has them in the black on the scene already. But remember that the scene just went online yesterday so it still has lots of legs in it. I plan to buy a copy but just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Truthfully, I need to add some tickets to my monthly allotment before I can buy it. The Aidra Fox scene took the last of my tickets.
But look at another older scene that probably also generated a lot of interest – Samantha Rone’s first double anal that was uploaded in August 2016. That scene currently has views of 230,000. Again assuming that 5% of viewers buy it that means the scene (based on my uneducated assumptions) grossed approximately $63,000USD. (I had to assume a 5.5 ticket requirement because I bought the scene when it came out so I can’t see the ticket cost for it any longer.) Even if they paid Samantha properly for that scene they have definitely made a lot of money off of it.
I suspect that in choosing the two scenes that I have I am slanting things a bit because these scenes were probably bigger draws than many others. But it’s also possible that my assumption on uptake is low and maybe 10% of viewers buy the scenes. That doubles the gross for each of them.
Not to drag this out, but I think a good comparison is between Kink.com and LP. Kink is clearly in decline. They still produce some of the best BDSM porn available but it seems to me that it is a sign of decline that they can no longer sell memberships to individual sites but now bundle them as a network. If LP is generating the interest that they are then there is lots of life in their business model yet.
But like you, I definitely wish there was a one-price full access membership.

The problem for me is that LP is like the crack cocaine of the porn business. I first 'joined' LP maybe five years ago and it is easily still the biggest part of my monthly porn budget. Like you, the hard part becomes budgeting your monthly tickets to get the scenes you want. I'd say at least six months of the year I end up buying additional tickets just to get the scenes I want. I'm not complaining though - that would be me complaining that LP makes too much porn that I want to see!

Your review was interesting to read. Ultimate Surrender is one of the few Kink sites that I've never really gotten into. It's a niche that doesn't really do anything for me and since it is all-girl that's a downside for me too. But for those who like this niche I have to recognize that if anyone is going to do it right it would be Kink.

I'm anti-social all year so there is nothing about Christmas that impedes my porn habits.

Definitely yes. Thanks to the TBP/PU staff who put together some seasonal deals I'll probably join several sites.

mbaya's Review
I'm not a fan of CFNM porn but I can still appreciate a thorough and well-written review.
I know that CFNM is a specific fetish and I get that, but I really like CMNF scenes and there is no specific label for that since it occurs in a lot of porn. I just wish it was a tag. It occurs a lot in BDSM porn since it is an easy way to set up a power imbalance (as it does in CFNM porn too) but I like scenes that have that power imbalance but don't go as far as BDSM does.
Thanks for posting the review!

Coincidentally I was thinking of a BB rejoin since it has been a while. I'll join using a different computer and email address and see if I can get the same offer. Thanks for pointing this out.

"Glad" by Steve Winwood when he was with Traffic does it. Another go-to song is "Blue Sky" written by Dickie Betts which was an Allman Brothers staple for years until the rest of the band kicked Dickie out due to his, ummm... unhealthy lifestyle. The irony is that Dickie may be the only member of the original band who is still alive. He's well preserved, I guess.

I have to say that I am really surprised at the longevity of DVDs. Here at PU and on some other forums it seems that DVDs are still the 'go to' format for a lot of people. I don't get that. If my porn collection was on DVDs it would take up a warehouse. That's only a mild exaggeration. As it is, it's on 24 external drives and they fit in a briefcase.

Thanks for the comments and advice. i probably won't be taking the plunge in the next 12 months but I am confident that VR will have eventually be mainstream in porn and because of that I'll take the plunge sometime.
I hear you on the issue of porn driving so much technology. Hmmm... what on earth could the 4-head VCR be good for...?

Hmmm... maybe I should look into this a bit more.
In terms of hardware, what else is needed besides the player? Is the 'player' just software? Is the headset thing USB or HDMI or something else?
You've got me interested now...

skippy's Review
Thanks for posting this review. For a long time I always tried to be on the cutting edge of technology and a lot of that was driven by porn. I had the first VCR of all of my friends (back when they were top-loading and weighed 50 lbs.), I was a early adopter into DVDs. I skipped Blueray simply because online porn and external storage was becoming better and cheaper. But... I can't bring myself to take the plunge on VR yet and it isn't that I don't think it would be any good, but my worry is that it isn't plug-and-play and I'd never be able to figure out how to use it.
Someday though...

This may be a UK or EU (or international) issue. In Canada and in the US Evil Angel has its own billing company. They aren't the best in the business (because you have to jump through a few hoops to cancel) but I've dealt with them enough to trust them.
Here's a solution for you - move to the Colonies! :-)

For me I think I like watersports as D/s play. My preference is for scenes with M-on-F peeing and I like those even more when they are part of D/s play. Squirting isn't usually associated with D/s unless it is within girl/girl play.

I don't want to challenge your experience here, but I had an annual membership to Passion HD and a bunch of sister-sites and in that year I never experienced any issues with slow download speeds or with dropped downloads.
As Onyx said though, the difference may be a download manager. I used Internet Download Manager and have always found it to be reliable.
