GCode, I hope and believe you know I did not mean any personal criticism when I said it would be nice for the poll to be more open-ended as far as responses. It's not just your poll, but the poll structure at PU. However, I also realize that there's a reason PU puts the simple structure in place, to make the responses easier to read and more meaningful in a brief space. A trade-off. I just like to ramble, and some of my replies, to polls, instead of a single brief line, would take up lots of paragraphs. LOL.
I am really surprised at the even spread of the responses. You seem to have intuited the feelings of the PU members in your choices.
My main hard drive is only 149 GB. A few years ago that was a huge amount of storage. I recently joined Femjoy, and am downloading the photo shoots and videos of a few selected models. Maybe I should download the lower resolution files, but I am downloading the high resolution files. And just downloading a few of the more attractive models, and my main hard drive is filling up fast.
I have another external, 500 GB hard drive. But how many hard drives do I want to play with? Most people want the best quality (photos, videos) they can get, but the amount of storage it requires keeps growing and growing and growing.
I'm trying to be selective about the files I download, but I'm afraid of waking up from a nightmare where I will have to check my hard drives to see if I have any free space left.
Ideally, you should be able to choose more than a single selection as an answer. Also, it would be nice to have a "write-in" selection option as well.
But I think that good, basic improvement for many sites would be better/easier navigation along with better updates. Better updates would also include greater innovation of the material.
I think, in general, the major sites have good/acceptable photo and video resolution.
As far as videos, most videos could be improved by better editing, better soundtrack, more realistic dialog, less fake moans, groans, less intrusive comments from the camera-man/director, better plot/storyline, etc. etc. etc.
Also, my personal taste, use gorgeous female models, have decent-looking male models, get rid of all the tattoos and piercings.
I loved your comment, "Slow, slow, slow, slow.....you get hours of 'training,' but only a small percentage is actual sex or spanking. Without fast forward I would fall asleep."
That's one of the major reasons I belong to PU. You gave me the best laugh of the entire day.
Basically, I like to keep things simple, so I can understand them more easily.
But as far as the pricing for membership at youngporn.net:
What currently shows at both PU and TBP is:
Cost:
Monthly: $29.96 (recurring)
Monthly: $39.96 (non-recurring)
Multi-Mo: $69.00 (3 months, recurs $29.96/mo.)
When I click from the TBP site to youngporn.net site, and then click the "Join Now" hot link, and enter the information requested, and then click to the next page for signing up, the prices I see for membership are the same prices I now see listed at PU and TBP.
When I posted my original comment about membership price, I was trying to keep it simple. I did not give all three membership options. I just gave the membership option that I thought was most appropriate for PU members, which was the monthly (or 30 day, if you want to be entirely accurate) recurring membership.
I am a sucker for teen. Some of the models here seem to be yummy. The price I see at the sign-up page is $29.96/month. Not much cheaper than the $34.96/month shown at PU and TBP, but still, a more attractive price.
I'm more soft core than hard core. If the girl is attractive enough, I don't mind looking thru a "taking nothing off" photo set.
I was just looking thru some photo sets I downloaded from Teen Stars Magazine years ago. Isabella, Maria, Nicole and Rebecca are some of the models I can look at, whether they are nude or not. They are just good-to-great looking girls. Their photo sets are also at My Precious Virgins, where they also have the same names as at Teen Stars Magazine. It's easier when you don't have to list a model under different names, like you sometimes have to do at met-art.
And even tho the photo sets are not as high quality or artistic or artsy as the met-art photos, I can enjoy the photos of these girls as much as the met-art photo sets. Simple can be nice, for a change.
Sometimes I find myself almost drooling over some of these girls. I have to remember to keep my mouth closed. Lol.
Sorry you seem to be disappointed with the site contents.
If you read the earlier reviews at PU and TBP, they indicate the main focus of the site is soft core teen.
The earlier reviews also state the number of vids at this site are very limited, compared to the photos.
My only quibble with the TBP reviews would be where two reviewers give a + mark for exclusive content. As Drooler noted in his review, a lot of the photo sets were earlier shown at other sites, such as Teen Stars Magazine.
But you have to admit there are a huge amount of yummy-looking girls here. So the site is not a complete waste.
Size matters. I don't have unlimited hard drive space, and it's hard enough searching thru one hard drive. I don't want to have to look thru 10 hard drives just to see a particular photo set or video.
So if you can increase quality without increasing file size, great. Otherwise, I really would like the file size to remain manageable.
The PU review of this site is over 2 years old. The TBP reviews of the site are almost 4 years old. Would any PU members who have been recent members of this site care to comment on the value of this site? Is it still actively updating with new photo sets? New videos? What is the quality of the photos, quality of the videos? Is the site worth joining for a 1-month membership, or would the money be better spent on better sites? There appear to be a huge number of models at the site (700+), but it also appears that many models have a small number of photos (less than 100 photos).
I don't give amusing titles to the porn I collect.
I do try to provide amusement or interest in some of my posts at PU, but there are members who do a far better job of this than I do.
Wittyguy, Drooler, and others can provide, at times, intelligence, humor, insight, clear thinking, color. Some reviews and posts are really enjoyable reading, beyond the basic facts/opinions presented. That's a gift. And a major reason why I look at the site on a daily basis.
If you don't have the time or patience to read the entire thread, which is only 2 pages long, you can read 2 of the more important posts of the thread:
1. The introductory post #1, by Wittyguy, which explains what he thinks a good review should include.
2. Post #7, the cheat sheet created by Toadsith, which is a detailed listing of the main factors many PU members want to see in a review.
The review you write is your own personal creation, based on your own ideas and opinions and facts, but to have value for the PU site members, some specific tech details, site numbers (number of photos, videos, etc.), and your own opinions should be included.
I voted for boy-girl. But girl-girl isn't bad, either. More than 2 people, and I get confused who I'm supposed to be watching. If the girl is really yummy, you can even leave out the boy.
I go along with Jay G, that if I like a model, changing her hair color does not make me like her more. Probably less. One hair color that is difficult for many models is red. Redhead models, at least in the porn world, often look like a bad dye job.
Currently I will not go above $30/month for a single site. I try to find lower prices than that. Actually, there are so many sites out there that look good, that seem to be worth at least a 1-month membership, but I've been trying to limit myself to current membership in 3 sites or less per month. I think I've overdosed on porn, and I just don't get the same kick out of it that I used to.
Thanks for the information, atrapat. I didn't look at the TBP data. Lazy. I just checked that there were no reviews or comments at PU or TBP, and figured there was no data. Before joining PU, I used to read the TBP pages, but since joining PU, I glance at TBP only rarely. I think PU reviews are more up to date and relevant because of member details and opinions. But you reminded me that TBP is still worth looking at to see what's there. You have "site facts" at TBP even if there is no TBP review.
Have any PU members joined Sugar Paradise and have any opinions on value of site? The preview/tour is only 1 page, it does not list number of photos, photosets, or videos, or give any numerical data on site contents. The preview page shows a bunch of teens, 1 is really cute, Diana, but need much better idea of content quality and quantity before joining this site. It's part of a small network of teen sites.
Thanks for the tip. I will study pornclubcard to see if I can use it in the future. I've had 1-year memberships at met-art in the past, so I might try it that way the next time, unless I go with a 1-month membership.
MPL Studios looks attractive, but expensive at $34.95/month. Is there a discount available anywhere?
I mean, really, the price is out of line with most other sites of a roughly similar offering. I'd like to get in to sample the wares, but not at that price.
Could be the result of inter-generational cross-breeding. In the new permissive society, women can date men who are either older or younger than themselves. Thus, the sons and boyfriends of their significant others could also be approximately the same age as the mothers. "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" mentality.
It's sometimes hard to find good porn. Too many nitpicking details get in the way of our enjoyment.
I'm not a member, but from looking at the preview, the girls look yummy, not like cartoons at all. Almost, but not quite, as good as the real thing.
The guys look huge or large and threatening. But even the guys are smooth-shaven. What happened to the traditional "big, hairy monster" type? Or did that fade away back in the 1960s with the era of the bikers?
Did you notice, they even have gorgeous she-males? Yikes.
I've had at least a couple of sites tell me my password had been hacked. None of them accused me of sharing my password. The sites just changed my password to let me back into the members area. So I
might have been blocked from site access for 1 or 2 days, and that was it.
Each time it happened that I was blocked from site access for a full day or more, I sent an email saying I couldn't get into members area, and I got a reply email back telling me that my password had been hacked. The support email was responsive, within 1 or 2 days.
Some sites, you send email to support, you never get a reply email. Normally I don't send emails to support, because I figure it's just a waste of time.
Last email I sent to support (at a porn site) was to Just Teen Site back in November 2008. They advertise friendly 24 hour, 7 day a week support is available. I am still waiting for my reply, even though my membership there expired in December 2008. Maybe I should give up on waiting for my reply to come.
Edit: Actually, I sent an email to Glamdeluxe support after that, asking for help on a problem. They also never replied to me.
If you don't want to wait for celebrity status, there seem to be at least a few people on PU who would be interested in bidding on your item. Perhaps the PU team could set up an ebay-type auction in-house. That would help raise money for the PU staff, and some of the extra cash could be used to make a higher payout for the weekly raffle, plus extra prizes for doing good site work, like for making wonderful suggestions on how to improve the site.
I've already made two suggestions that are worthy of a cash payout:
1. I suggested PU add a section to post homemade videos on useful topics. The first subsection would be homemade videos of members using the male sex toys so the rest of us could get a leg up on the learning curve.
2. The idea of a PU auction for personal erotic items that might be difficult to sell online at more timid sites.
My brain is flush with further money-making ideas, perfect to re-invigorate the moribund economy and put cash into people's pockets.
Uncensored Maria Oazwa videos are not easy to find. She is my personal favorite Japanese AV actress. Absolutely gorgeous.
Download limits are a pain, but you get a daily limit of 15 GB. That's a lot of download.
It's your money and your choice, but if you want Maria Ozawa, or high quality vids/photosets of Japanese porn, this is supposed to be one of the best Japanese porn sites around. Expensive, but Japanese porn, and even Japanese non-porn movies and music CDs, are expensive compared to American non-porn movies and music CDs. You buy a music video (non-porn) of some Japanese singer, it can easily cost $40 or more, plus shipping.
But the shipping charge is cheaper than flying to Japan and trying to buy this stuff in person.
