I think the only reason for any negative feelings about porn would have to come from external sources. Porn, in and of itself, isn't necessarily bad or good. The bad or good gets added through a filter of morality. In most cases, morality around anything sexual is informed primarily by religion and, in my opinion, mainstream religion's track record on human sexuality is almost perfect. A perfect failure, that is.
So guilt is something that you'd feel when someone imposed it on you.
This reminds me of a time when we in the Canadian military would discharge anyone for being gay. The reasoning was that because being gay was such a bad thing, people may be blackmailed into doing treasonous things. But the flaw was always that if being gay wsn't seen as bad (which it isn't - it's neutral and only bad or good through a lens of morality) then the people couldn't be blackmailed.
Same thing here - if you feel guilty about porn, then that's primarily because someone else wants thinks you should feel bad about it.
Another example is back in the early 1980s the Canadian Defence Minister was fired for having gone to a strip club in Germany. The worry was that East German spies may have been present and may now have some dirt on him. Therefore he had to go. Contrast this with the time several years ago when Kevin Rudd was just elected Prime Minister in Australia. The press, in their gossipy best, discovered that Rudd had recently been in a Moscow strip club with some fishermen from Newfoundland and Iceland and apparently had a very good time. The press thought they had him in the crosshairs, but he defused the issue by declaring to a reporter that it was all true and it was the best time of his life and that anyone who has the opportunity to go to a Moscow strip club with Newfoundlanders and Icelanders should immediately do so. That killed the story immediately.
Bottom line - I don't feel guilty and fuck the people who think I should.

I agree with what both JayG and 247skizia wrote. I've written webmasters before and it is frequently a frustrating experience. I suspect that most webmasters don't give a flying fuck what we think, pro or con. Most just ignore emails. Having said that, I did have exceptional service from the now gone American Vice and from the Kink.com network (probably through The Training of O site...). The latter proposed a solution to a membership problem that I had that went beyond what I expected.

Thanks. I agree that VB servers are a big part of the equation. What are you seeing for download speeds?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's one thing to be unethical, it's another to spam another site while trying to do it.

Great review. Thanks for the updates on this site. I agree that it is one of the best out there but the quality can be pretty spotty. I haven't had a membership to VB since I upgraded my ISP to fibre-op and was wondering how the speeds would be. Given your information I'm hopeful that they'llbe pretty goo.

Thanks for pointing that out. My first suspicion was that this was JAB's cousins promoting his site, but I guess it's worse than that. I hope this concept gets nipped in the bud soon as the legitimate reviews are getting flooded out by these 'fake' ones. Should the PU staff consider de-listing JAB Comix for this tactic?
And if JAB Comix thinks it could really push sites like ALS Scan, Met Art and Videobox out of the top ten here then I suspect that they're delusional. Is anyone here a member of rabbitsreviews? Are they getting spammed too?

I'll check that out. Thanks for the tip.
BTW - I've been watching more Rocco and you're right about him being rough in a fantasy way now without being degrading like he used to be. I'll be downloading a lot of Rocco stuff now that I might have otherwise overlooked.

Based on that ringing endorsement I'll be downloading the other scenes in this title too. And with Amy Brooke what's not to like? Young, petite, B-cups and does anal. That is pretty much perfection!

PinkPanther:
I’m not sure that we have different tastes at all. I think the problem may be a combination of us each talking about something different and the fact that I might not know what I’m talking about.
First the fact that I don’t know what I’m talking about: my only experience with Rocco dates back to the days where he was rough for the sake of being rough. I haven’t seen enough of his more recent work to realize that he’s changed. Consider me duly informed. I downloaded a bunch of it from the EA site and will definitely watch it.
As for degrading porn, I view anything as degrading that is obviously over the top and clearly intended to degrade. The measure I use isn’t the Dominant person (usually male) or me as the viewer. I judge degrading on how the woman appears to react to the situation. Max Hardcore is probably the poster child for rough and degrading porn, though there are others too, like Khan Tusion. What makes me think of Hardcore’s and Tusion’s work as degrading is because they clearly intend it to be that way. There is no sense of it being something the women are into and there is no sense of fun. It’s as if they wouldn’t want the women to be into it and enjoying themselves.
I mostly agree with your comments on Kink.com sites. I’m a huge fan of their stuff because it is hardcore BDSM without being degrading. The submissive women on the sites clearly enjoy what’s happening to them. And even though I rarely watch the interviews before or after the shoot, I know that they are there and the women comment on what they liked and how into it they were. It’s obvious that the women who work for Kink.com are into BDSM play – it isn’t intended to be degrading for the sake of degradation. Any degradation is part of the play that brings the women enjoyment. But like you, I find that the biggest problem with Kink.com sites is that they can seem a bit sterile and repetitive. It may be that the individual sites focus so narrowly on one or two aspects of BDSM that it becomes difficult to get interested eventually. The Training of O is a bit different in that it is more dynamic and uses more BDSM conventions. I understand that many people don’t like the strict roles in many Kink.com sites, but I think that is part of the allure that I like. So on this point at least we can admit to different tastes.
So I’m off to view some newer Rocco stuff. And if the scene you’re referring to is the one in Rocco Ravishes Hollywood, then you’re absolutely right about that. That is truly an amazing scene!

I vote yes. But that answer presumes that the site has enough content to make it worth the price without the updates.

Thanks for the information on Evil Angel over at Videobox. No one really mentions this is detail in any of the PU reviews. I've been curious about EA and Vivid as add-ons and wondered if they're worth it. Sad to say, but I wonder if these add-ons are now necessary to make Videobox worth a renewal since they seem to be using second and third rate American porn to supplement a steady diet of second rate European stuff.
I guess abuse is in the eye of the beholder. I see Rocco as just a bit less abusive than Max Hardcore but I don't see some of the hardest stuff on the Kink.com network or Society SM as being abusive. I have no idea to explain this different perception. Rocco does have quite a following and is certainly a talented director and performer.

The threeways and multiples are a mix. I'd say only about half are G-G-B but that's just a guess. There are a lot of scenes with more than three too and those tend to be mini-gangbangs.

I'm glad I could be of help. Like you I appreciate reviews that steer me to good sites that I have an interest in and I also appreciate reviews that confirm a suspicion that even if a site is technically fine I probably wouldn't be into the material.

SteveO - there is one other possibility that I have no info on. Evil Angel DVDs are also offered as an additional-cost 'channel' at Videobox. I don't know how much extra it costs and I don't know how much overlap there is, but that could be a better value. But you are right - the EA site is easily worth the monthly fee.

They have such a great catalogue of older titles that I was hoping to get access to. I suspect that it might be more work since they have to convert it to digital first. And it is possible that some of the directors only had a loose association back then. I was particularly hoping to get more older Joey Silvera titles. he had two exceptional series in the 90s - Butt Row and Fashion Sluts. Those are hard to find now. And Joey seems to be more into transexual stuff now. I remember about a decade ago renting a new Joey Silvera DVD just because it was him. It was from his Rogue Adventures series. I must be naive because it never occured to me that Rogue Adventures could be a code word for transexuals! Some of the older Buttman stuff is there too. But like you, I can only take the newer, abusive Evil Angel stuff in small doses.

Denner - don't do the clean up. You'll regret it. External storage media is so cheap it isn't worth your while. Back in the days when I was saving everything to DVDs I did a purge. Then along came reasonably priced (at the time still expensive) external means for storing a lot of data. My first WD external drive was a scant 120GB. I've spent countless hours and a lot of dollars finding the stuff I deleted in the name of space.
My point is that there is no need to sacrifice and you'll regret it.

Good fucking God, yes! I think I'd be suicidal if I ever went blind. I like to think I'm more discrete about it now that I'm older, but I'm probably not.

mbaya - JayG's review is accurate. This is an AMAZING site for a really specific niche - it's all about anal play, not anal sex. And being part of the Kink network guarantees quality. I assume that there are some free samples available and this may help you decide whether the site is for you or not.

I don't think about sex in porn all that often, but I regularly think about managing my collection and better ways to catalogue what I have. And I agree with mbaya - when I have a new membership I'll spend some time thinking about my likes and dislikes in the site and what information may be useful in a review.

Decent review and a great warning for those of us who like these kinds of sites. Some of the preview pictures are fairly high resolution. I assume that these are a tease and the real ones inside are smaller? And the price! If the site is as bad as you say, $30 seems pretty steep.

Interesting... I never spent any time in the bonus sites since none of them really interested me. Actually, they did, but given that I was so unimpressed with the main site I was a bit worried that I'd end up being charged extra for the "bonus" sites. That's happened to me before. The whole business seems a little unscrupulous when the links to download videos on a pay site where you have a membership link to a different site.
I'm also willing to accept the possibility that the site was just having a bad time when I joined and that in the future the links will be fixed. I just don't think it will be me who figures that out.

Good review. Thanks for the info on this site. The preview ability for the site is pretty weak. There doesn't appear to be any option to download any samples of the photos though there is one sample video. A couple of the thumbnails lead me to a question that you may be able to answer: is there any public nudity on the site?
Thanks
