Carey, you dummied down my entire post. The post is about sexuality, not gender and the situation was hypothetically asked, not something that was tried to be seriously passed.
In life, a male or female is based on their reproductive organs at birth. Over time, puberty strikes and sexuality is born.
Somewhere around this point, it is not okay for males and females to take showers together. It really isn't just because one has a dick and one doesn't. It is because of the possible bad situations that could come from it. Most likely, but not completely, based on the males possibly sexually assaulting the females.
Going by that, if a gay man, who is sexually aroused by naked men is allowed to stand in a room full of naked straight men and get his jollies, then it is no different, hypothetically, then a straight man standing in a shower room full of nude women, getting his jollies.
Oh and by pointing out gender, it does go against the very question that was asked since homosexuals blur the line that gender is defined by. A gay man is a man by gender because of his penis, but is attracted to the same things sexually that a female is attracted to.
I voted no. I voted based on experience. I don't think anyone should have any rights taken away based on their sexual preference, but that can work both ways in a military setting. I will post the experiences so you all can think about these.
A co-worker of mine came out of the closet a few years ago. No one treated him any differently. Breaks at work, he is still hanging out with us straight people, as he jokes about, and he gets all the rights we do. Nothing changes in this setting.
When in college, as a football player, two players came out of the closet to a couple of players, not all. It was a school in the deep south of the United States, and truth was, most everyone on the team "thought" they were gay, but never said anything. As word started spreading, problems started coming up. These two players were never picked on for being gay, one was a 290 pound Defensive Linemen with what we called a "Mean streak" so maybe that played a part in him not being made fun of, but the other one was small in build and he was never picked on either. We still would hang out after practice, grab a pizza and do everything we always did.
BUT when it came time for showers, things became uncomfortable. Some of the straight players would say they wondered if the gay players were looking at them, the gay players even said it made them uncomfortable because you could see that some of the straight players were uncomfortable being nude around the gay players and they didn't want to do that either by coming out of the closet.
It caused problems, and though I don't think most people would look at the situation and think anything about it, it is much different when put in that position. I remember one of the straight players even saying, "Would I be allowed to shower with the female cheerleaders?" and he had a good point. That would be seeing your sexual preference nude.
The military also has times like this shower time that could cause problems for the straight soldiers, so the compromise of don't ask, don't tell, to me, was a good one based on my experience in a very similar situation. Just a different view than what most would say.
I didn't know how to reply. High school crushes weren't really an option, most of them are in jail or had 12 kids. Spent most of my high school years at Dominguez, trust me 12 kids and jail was a good girl!
Not really many celebs come to mind, maybe Jessica Alba and Alyssa Milano in a Viv Thomas production?
I marked other, our neighbors are pretty, two UCLA college girls, but the last thing I need is to start feeling like an old pervert at 34, even though my wife says I am.
Other, my Philosophy professor in college. She was probably 40, I was about 21, and I might have just imagined this, but I could have sworn she once crossed her legs and had on thigh high stockings with garters! But she would now be around 60, so I really didn't have a sure answer.
I ran into that same page last month and thought the prices had gone up, and just now checked and my prices were listed as the ones you are seeing too, but ran CCleaner and it went back to the regular prices of:
Nice detailed review, my latest trip to Brazzers was not that good. One thing, you mentioned "virtually every porn star of note", outside of HQ Honeys, I didn't see hardly any stars outside of American models. I think they might have pigeonholed themselves too much as almost only American models. Reality Kings has Mike's Apartment which features almost all Euro models and another Euro sex party site as well.
I think Brazzers has dropped off from my last review of their network, but that is just my opinion.
As I was about to click "complete transaction" I noticed something, now, this was BELOW the complete transaction button.
Your membership also includes free access to these sites:
One Thousand XXX Vids* Top Adult Pass **
Keeping in mind, this is a network of multiple sites, so it isn't that crazy to think a site would list which sites you get free with your membership, but those asterisks jumped out at me, I scrolled, not once, but twice to get the asterisks explanation.
"* If not cancelled within the two day Free trial period, your subscription will automatically renew at thirty nine dollars ninety one cents per month."
"** If not cancelled within the two day Free trial period, your subscription will automatically renew at thirty nine dollars ninety one cents per month."
How nice, didn't even put the price in numbers to try and catch us sleeping! Wouldn't it have been much easier to put $39.91 instead of spelling it all out? Of course not, numbers would be too noticeable. This is probably the worst pre-checked cross sales I have seen. You join a pretty good network for $12.49 but end up paying ninety-two dollars and thirty one cents or $92.31. Definitely should be some kind of rule or law about the pre-checked cross sales being above the complete transaction button, and now, I'll take a pass on the network.
Hey Denner, I re-joined this site last week, they have some Eve Angel content, which really surprises me, though Eve is a great tease when she wants to be, she usually is known for more than just tease. I will write a re-review in a week or two of it, I do notice that they now have what they call "Prestige" sets that are released only on Fridays that look to be a little more skin than the regular sets. My other reason for joining, their collection of Gemma Massey is up to 52 sets! Seems like it was only in the 20s when I was a member before. Just from a glance, some of the Eve pictures are showing full nudity, I just don't know yet how far those go, but will let you know in the re-review.
I put "not for me". I think a big part of the interest in bondage and the very rough sites and their enjoyment of their viewers depends on how the viewer was raised, type of environment, etc..
Growing up in the Belly of the Beast, South Central, Los Angeles in the 80s, has turned me completely against most things that even approach violence. I still hear women screaming from being assaulted or finding their son with his head blown off, so I have trouble with any site that could even start to make me think the woman is in any pain.
And similar to what Jay G says, I don't ride thrill rides, I've never bungee jumped or sky dived. As a kid, I used to have to go to the pharmacy to get my grandfather's diabetic medicine, and it was a run for my life most of the time. Kid carrying a $50 bill in an impoverished neighborhood filled with crackheads with guns.
Once we moved out of there, I never looked for an adrenaline thrill again. Having said that, I have joined several of the kink.com sites, and do like their content, I'm not even for sure that it falls in much more than very light bondage though.
I don't want to come off as haughty or anything like that, but I do want to point out a few things and hope that you will understand that if nothing else, I am only defending my score of Twistys.
To start with, you mention the two bonus sites you went to. Those are network type sites that twistys should not be advertising as separate sites, unless they want to call Twistys the main page and take the content off Twistys, which they could do. But Anette Dawn, Blue Fantasies and Nicole Graves sites are 100% exclusive, none of the content is shared with Twistys and you get those 3 with a Twistys membership. You don't even have that listed as a pro, but have the others listed as a con. Maybe you reviewed it from a trial and didn't have time to check all the sites out?
Next is that I know of Twistys has never sold itself as a hardcore site. So, I don't see why you would take off for their lack of hardcore. I used this comparison before with another member, it would be like going to a hot dog stand and being mad because they don't have pizza.
One big reason that I point that out is because your highest rated site is 1byday, a site that is pretty much identical to Twistys in content. At the most, I remember 1byday having hardcore Fridays on their site last year and before then for awhile, but they rarely have more than 1 hardcore set per week, so why would you take off twistys score for not enough hardcore, but not 1byday's score?
I will agree that Twistys picture size should be bigger, but I won't agree about the video size, their standard for a couple of years or more has been 640-720 high end with 2000+ bitrates, that is above average quality. And if you look at 1byday, while their newer content is 1280 high end, their older content is 440 high end.
The part though that jumped out at me the most was when you made the comment about twistys models, I hate to tell you, but I would estimate that more than 90% of the models on 1byday are on twistys. Plus twistys has American models that 1byday doesn't, like Georgia Jones, Nicole Graves, Jessica Jaymes, Brea Bennett just to name a few.
This is the best way for me to say this.
1byday updates at best with 4 sets per day, and that isn't that common these days, it is more like 2 new sets per day as they split the updates with remastered sets. Twistys has 4-5 updates per day, probably half or more are exclusive. 1byday has no bonus content. Twistys has 3 exclusive bonus sites listed above. Twistys has at least 90% of the models 1byday has plus many American models 1byday doesn't have. Both sites have similar hardcore content. Twistys $19.95, 1byday $34.95.
Would have helped a lot if you had a review of 1byday and not just a rating. I would like to see the cons and how they compare to twistys.
Sitting right on 85, I'm using something similar to a college professor using a grading curve. I've only reviewed 2-3 sites below 70 out of 150 or so sites, so I have 70 as my low mark, the few I have graded below 70 was because of serious issues like false advertising about content in preview. So, my scores tend to fall between 70-100, and 85 is right in the middle. I remember explaining once that most of the sites I have reviewed here are sites that I've been a member of more than once, so I obviously liked the site enough to join a second time, so I recommended it to myself. And the only way I take risks on sites is if they have content of one or two of my favorite models, which in turn means it will most likely score at least around 80.
I wouldn't have a problem wearing a t-shirt with TBP or PU logo on it. I'm usually in California or Florida, Florida might freak out in the northern areas, but shouldn't be a problem at all in California.
We see people wearing funny sexual shirts all the time. This girl was buying some gas, when I noticed her bumper sticker, "My other car is a Sybian" to the more obvious shirts "Yes, those are boobs and they are real" to the ever funny liberal crossdressing men, "Real Men Wear Crotchless Panties" and my favorite of all, I saw a man, probably 70 or older with a shirt on that said, "College Girls > Viagra"
I agree that the new format 21st Sextury is using is confusing, but they have improved it some. I went through the whole process of finding the site that had the most sites I wanted with it. I didn't realize it is much easier than I thought it was. Here is how you do it.
Go to a site on their network that you are interested in. Click "Full Network" once that opens up, look over at your right, you will see a dropdown box, if you click it and scroll down, it lists all the sites you get instant access to. If you keep scrolling it will tell you the order you get the loyalty sites, 2 per month that you stay as a member.
You can also look just above the samples and it now tells you how many sites you get instantly by number and how many loyalty sites you can get.
I joined through zoliboy and got 35 sites instant access, including this one, Lezbo Honeys, Footsie Babes, Sweet Sophie Moone, Playful Hands about 8 sites that are really good, the other 27 are okay at best. Still, with 8 really good sites for $30, that became a good deal for me. On a side note, the ones that looked to have the worst bonus sites were Club Sandy and Pix and Video.
Most of my technical knowledge comes from my porn collection. Remember when they used to say the internet was invented for 2 things, education and porn? Killed two birds with my stone.
If I am on our powerful computer with the big monitor, the higher resolution and higher bitrate is very important. Try watching a 320 high end video clip in full screen on a 1920 resolution monitor.
I always looked at the bitrate as being similar to frame rate. The problem is, it runs in a ladder like progression. The higher the bitrate/resolution is, the more advanced computer you need to truly enjoy it, and the more hard drive space you need to store it.
I was blown away by the new Give Me Pink videos, those are 1920 high end, 8000+ bitrate, and the files are right at 2 GB each for a 30 minute video. On our powerful computer, the videos are crisp, as nice as I have seen, but if I put the video on our older laptop, it struggles with the fast bitrate and large resolution, I assume the RAM isn't high enough and the video card isn't powerful enough.
Going by that, I think the information from a site before joining could be useful since some people might not have a computer powerful enough to get full use of a 1920 and 8000 bitrate video. Then it would be nice for those that do, so they would be interested more since it would use their computer's power fully.
Personally, my favorite combination as far as quality, size, speed is the 960x540 resolution, around 4000 bitrate. Those files are 600-650 mb in size and are big enough in size and speed to be good enough quality without the 2 GB hit on the hard drive.
Was looking through the Euro sites when I noticed that this site was now available with a second site, though neither are expected to be that good, I thought I would check out a preview, but my Kaspersky isn't allowing it. I tried it multiple times, but continue to receive this warning.

I had a chance to check this site out back in December for a week and was impressed with it. From what I remember all of the videos had 1280 max options and everything was exclusive to the site. I'm just not for sure why the $35 price at this point. When I was on the site it only had around 50 total sets and updated 3 times per week. The high quality is very nice as is the exclusivity of the content, but that price just seems too high to this porn user for a site that is just getting started. I always thought if I were them, I would package this site with the Cherry Jul site, since it is dead now and maybe the Sandy's Fantasy site since it is dead too. That would be a nice package of sites and I think it would be a good way to get this site noticed. But hey, what do I know?
This caught my eye while checking out some of the newer sites, couldn't help but notice one of my favorites Lucky (Lucy, Lucie) oh and Spencer's review that starts with "LOL" my thoughts exactly after seeing the preview. Seriously though, this network of sites looks to have some potential. The Latina site looks really good. This Torbe guy looks to be quite lucky or really rich! Anybody tried any of these out, maybe some video specs. The TBP facts say 1280 high end, but at the time of the review there wasn't many available 15 is listed, wondering about updates, how often, etc..
I had this same exact problem last week. You need to clear your cookies out, ccleaner is good for doing that. Once you do that the $14.95 TBP special will be back available to you.
I found some Mia with Eve content on the defloration site. Seeing the two of them together again was great, but the story was maybe the worst I've ever seen. You'll like the premise, "Both of these ladies are virgins and are going to let us pop their cherries with sex toys". Not for sure but I don't think a sex toy de-virginizes a woman, and the material really doesn't look that old.
Mia was the first blonde in porn that I really liked and started collecting. My comment about the voting on the sets to remaster was mainly about the Mia content on ALS, I have found some content of her on older sites as Illona, never knew she had an alias besides Mia. I was surprised to see her on videobox too, they have several of her boy/girl scenes. Oh and before I forget, on the defloration site, an included loud pop happens and the dildo comes out all red ha ha.
I was going to join, but the payment processor is a different one than usual. It says Global Cash Limited or something like that. I'm going to send a support email and ask about it. I had just noticed the new content on the previews and like you, was impressed. I really like Tea, she is one of the few newer models that has caught my attention. I will let you know as soon as I hear back about the payment processor.
Just to further Denner's last comment about this site that still has a ton of potential. They have improved their update schedule a great deal. You now get a video and photo set every week, there for awhile, you were lucky to get one video per month. With the added site discount, if you haven't joined it, it has some really good content from years past, pretty softcore for the most part, but the improved update schedule and lower price at least shows they are moving in the right direction.
Hey wiild1, sorry about the delay, I was waiting until I had a chance to check my old email folders that I keep my receipts from sites in. Back when I joined this network, they were using Epoch for billing, according to my receipts, now I see that they are listed as using netbilling as their payment processor. That does look suspicious, especially seeing that they are offering a one day trial, and if I'm not mistaken, netbilling asks for 5 days ahead of time to cancel, which would make canceling the trial impossible before it recurs the next day. That is a shame that more and more of these sites that had good potential have stooped to this level.
Thanks Squirrel, one of the other sites included in the network that came with Zoliboy besides this one is Fassinating, which is another hardcore mostly Euros only site, and it has several other HC sites that I think are mostly made up of DVD content available on most DVD sites. Fassinating was rated an 83 by TBP, so it too is a good solid HC site.
New bit of eroticism, other sites should take note!
I was just going through the Give Me Pink videos that I downloaded last month, and as I got into the newer videos, I started noticing something that was new to me in solo porn and I have to say that my thoughts were, "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?"
What is it you ask? The cameraman is a woman, and instead of having the man talking and asking stupid questions, the woman behind the camera says things like, "You have a perfect body" and you can tell that the models really like this! This camerawoman also touches the models and even fingers some of them. This adds a whole new dimension to porn for me and maybe is the end of the typical guy talking trying to make jokes. I didn't download all the content, so I don't know when they added this woman behind the camera, but it is a genius idea, the Anita Pearl and Wivien videos are probably the two best of these newer ones. Wivien really seems to like the attention the female videographer is giving her!
