It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he photoshops his pictures. The man is now 52, and he is the main selling point for his web sites and DVDs. So he definitely wants to look as good as possible, and if photoshop will make him look better in his photographs, why not?
He definitely has a lot of ego. But he is a porn star, and part of that means selling himself. Major movie stars have to sell themselves as well, when they promote their films. It's part of the business.
I admit my review was poking fun at his ego, a bit, but he does deserve respect for apparently making such a financial success of himself in the porn industry. He has not only acted in over 1600 titles, but he is also a porn director and producer. He also promotes/pitches products, which is what major movie and TV stars like Cher have done.
If you join a network with one of his sites included as a bonus, you might want to look through the DVD clips offered. Peter North has been acting in porn since the 1980s, and he's acted with a huge number of attractive models. He does not come across as an egotistic jerk in his videos.
He is a workout buff, and is proud of his body. But that is also self-promotion, and smart. I personally think that some of the promotion is overdone, but some fans are impressed by all of this. He is famous for having a large penis (in length and girth), famous for the large amount of cum he produces, and how far it shoots. His fans are both male and female. The female fans want to be on the receiving end of his sex, and the male fans want to be like him.
Separately, I gave his site a score of 87. That score is based on the network value of all 19 sites in the network, and not just on the single value of this individual PeterNorth site. If I was rating this PeterNorth site as a single, stand-alone site, my score would have been lower.
I tried to make that clear, in the BOTTOM LINE of my review, that I was scoring the site for its "network as a whole score, not as a single site by itself score". If my score was misinterpreted as a score for this site by itself, I apologize.
There might be fans who would rate this PeterNorth site by itself as an 87, but I'm not that crazy about him. I'm more into the female models he is bonking. :)
OneMan, I was trying to make a joke, which is why I wrote the word "joke" in parentheses in my reply. I guess the humor wasn't apparent. Maybe I should have used a smiley, instead. No big deal. :)
OneMan, please don't be shy. If you liked my site review, feel free to say so in a positive way (joke). I really wouldn't mind hearing from people if my reviews are appreciated or not. You write a review, get no feedback, and wonder why bother writing.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS EVIDENCE OF THE SAYING THAT GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE:
BUT I WAS LOOKING AT THIS SITE THIS MORNING, TRYING TO DECIDE IF I WANTED TO JOIN.
THE FACT THAT IT'S PART OF NUBILES PORN IS AN ADDED BONUS.
THE NETWORK HAS A LOT OF GREAT LOOKING MODELS.
WHICH IS ONE OF MY PRIMARY CONCERNS.
I DIDN'T JOIN TODAY, BUT I'M SAVING THIS SITE/NETWORK FOR A FUTURE JOIN.
AGREE THAT IT'S A SLEAZY CASH GRAB.
PLAYBOY HAS SUNK A LOT SINCE THE GLORY DAYS (1960S, 1970S).
I WAS A MEMBER OF THE SITE ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO.
I FOUND THE SITE, AT THAT TIME, TO BE DISAPPOINTING.
I FOUND MUCH BETTER QUALITY PHOTOS OF THE PLAYMATES ON NEWSGROUPS, AND MORE COMPLETE SETS OF THEIR CENTERFOLD SHOOT.
ALSO, THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEOS WAS POOR. THERE WAS ONE VIDEO OF STACY FUSON (SHE WAS FEBRUARY 1999 PLAYMATE OF THE MONTH) WAS SO BAD I INSTANTLY DELETED IT.
CUTE GIRL, BUT I HAD A MUCH BETTER COPY OF THAT VIDEO FROM SOME NEWSGROUP.
EXCEPT THAT THE NEWSGROUPS ON PLAYBOY AND PENTHOUSE SEEM TO BE LESS ACTIVE RECENTLY.
THERE USED TO BE CONSTANT UPDATES ON THE PLAYBOY NEWSGROUP SITES, BUT NOT ANYMORE.
I WAS A MEMBER OF PLAYBOY PLUS ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
AT THAT TIME, THEY DID NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR DOWNLOADING.
BUT I DID NOT THINK IT WAS WORTH THE MEMBERSHIP PRICE, ANYWAY.
THE NEWSGROUPS OFFERED MORE COMPLETE PHOTOS FOR THE PAST PLAYMATES THAN THE PLAYBOY PLUS SITE DID.
NEWSGROUPS WERE NOT ONLY CHEAPER TO USE TO BUILD A PLAYBOY PHOTO COLLECTION, BUT EASIER, TOO.
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, BEFORE JOINING THE PLAYBOY PLUS SITE, THAT THE SITE WOULD MAKE COLLECTING ALL THE PHOTOS OF PAST PLAYMATES EASY.
BUT IT WAS NOT THE CASE. AND THE PLAYBOY SITE DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF THE PHOTOS OF PAST PLAYMATES.
SKIPPY,

THEN I SENT AN EMAIL DIRECTLY, FROM YAHOO EMAIL.
THAT EMAIL APPARENTLY WENT THROUGH.
I'M NOT SURE WHY THE PREVIOUS EMAILS WERE REJECTED.
MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD A URL AT THE TOP OF THE MESSAGE BODY.
ANYWAY, I ASSUME YOU DID GET MY EMAIL.
THE SUBJECT WAS: FROM PU MEMBER LK2FIREONE: SPECIAL OFFER...
SKIPPY, I'D LIKE TO SEND YOU A PRIVATE EMAIL.

i also used XNews. But it stopped updating years ago. And now, to use SSL, you have to use some other program with it. And it's for 32-bit computers, and mine is a 64-bit. And there are other reasons it's outdated.
So I have been playing around with some newreaders, but none are as simple as XNews was.
NewFlash Plus is free, easy to use. But when you download a file, for example, a JPG file, it opens an instance of the file, as well as downloads it.
I have an anti-virus program, Norton Internet Security, but if the files open at the same time that they download, then I think that is a security risk.
I want to download files, scan them for malware, BEFORE I open them.
That's what I do, even from sites I trust, like my paid pornsites: Metart, Diesel Access network, TMW, whatever.
I read years back you can use a stenography program and encode a virus inside a picture of any extension. Jpeg, jpg, bmp, etc.
By "you", I don't mean me and you, but someone who has hacking skills.
I used to collect Playboy Playmate photos years ago.
I just rejoined a newsgroup yesterday, because I was frustrated at how much time and effort it takes to collect Playmate photos from Playboy Plus. It was at least 5 years or more since I was a newsgroup member.
I have to learn how to use a newsreader again, and there are other methods I have to learn. But to build a collection of Playboy Playmates, and to organize it, newsgroup access is still so much easier and less time-consuming than trying to use Playboy Plus.
The magazine and internet site Playboy Plus is softcore. But what surprises me is that the company is heavily into hardcore.
From Wikipedia:
Sales of Playboy magazine peaked in 1972 at over 7 million copies.[2] The company now derives only one-third of its revenues from Playboy magazine, with the other two-thirds from the dissemination of adult content in electronic form, such as television, the internet and DVDs.[3] Much of this electronic revenue comes not from the soft nude imagery which made the magazine famous, but from hardcore pornography connected with the company's ownership of Spice Digital Networks,[4] Club Jenna,[5] and Adult.com [6]
I would guess that all the playmates would have their original photosets on this site.
The photosets are different from the original spreads that were published in the print magazine.
If you ever joined a newsgroup and collected the playmate photosets, you would have a better understanding of what I mean.
The site structure could be laid out much better.
To try to find a playmate, you can either enter her name in the search box, which gives her photos and videos, plus any other matching name. Like I said in the review, if you enter the search term "Christine Maddox", the results include any model named "Christine", and any model named "Maddox". So you get results that don't include "Christine Maddox", and you have to search (open) each file to see if that model is in that file, or use some other way to exclude files that are not what you want.
Trying to collect all the photosets for each playmate is a time-consuming process.
The site stucture does not make it easy.
The Playboy Plus site has the following categories:
(But here again, searching through each category is a time-consuming process. It would have been much better if they organized the contents based on the date the playmate-model-cybergirl was first published in the physical magazine or on the internet site).
I am surprised the video quality is sub-par, because that should be one of the great strengths of Playboy, along with expert softcore photos. But my biggest knock against Playboy is the plastic women: over the last 15 years, there were very few Playmates I found attractive. I think the Playmates from the 1960s and 1970s were much less plastic.
I used to read most of the Playboy articles, as well as look at the pictures. So I know at least 1 person was reading those articles. Haven't seen an issue of Playboy in many years, but back in the 1970s, when I was subscribing, I really did enjoy the articles, as well as the reviews on music, films, books, etc.
I do admit, however, the main interest was in the pictures. Especially the centerfold section.
I used to go over my limit for cons much more often. I tend to ramble and use a lot of words where other people are more succinct. I've given up trying to write really nice reviews. Though I do appreciate reading good reviews from others.
If the quality of the videos was upgraded to high resolution, I think at least some of the videos would be worth keeping, because there are some very attractive models in these videos.
There is one model in particular that I really like. I've seen her in a very few videos at different sites. And she's in one video at this site. If the definition was only better, it would be a nice video, because I find her very attractive. I don't know her name.
But the chance of this network upgrading these videos is close to zero.
Regarding subtitles: I think for most porn sites that have subtitles for their videos (mainly Russian or Eastern Europe), most of what the models say in these clips where the model and stunt cock are "acting", the conversations and subtitles are far below the standards of even a grade B movie. I enjoyed the idea of reading subtitles in a porn clip, but after reading the subtitles of a few clips, most of what was said was either stupid or boring or almost meaningless, and I did not worry about the accuracy of the translations.
Check the subtitled videos at the Teen Mega World network to see what I mean. Tricky masseur has a lot of subtitled videos. Or this Policeman site has subtitles, which helps to explain the words the models are using. But after reading the subtitles, you can turn your brain off and try to enjoy the sex action, because the conversational part has little to hold your interest.
There are softcore films where the conversation can add interest and humor and flavor to the video/movie. But not the sex porn clips found at networks like Teen Mega World, Devils Film, or Diesel or Nubiles.
I had a 30-day membership, which I got for $5 on a special offer. I had no problem cancelling, and was not charged any extra fees. I'm not sure why you had a problem with an automatic renewal. If you had a 30-day membership, or a 1-month membership, and you were renewed before the 1-month was finished, you should be able to get the site to reverse the renewal charge. I've been a member of sites belonging to the company that runs this site (they also run the netFameSolutions network of 19 sites), and they've always been very fair and easy about billing.
Unless there is some special reason why you want to belong to this site, I'd suggest cancelling your membership, and using the money for a better site.
Here is a link to a special $5 membership to the netFameSolutions network of 19 sites at PU, that gives you full membership to all 19 sites for 30 days. Some of the sites are very worthwhile, such as Devils Film, SilverstoneDVD, roccosiffredi, and peternorth. There is good quality DVD clips at all these sites (as well as a bunch of junk), but the good stuff is much easier to find there, and there is a lot of good DVD clips. There are also other sites in the network that are less attractive, but that you might find something if you hunt thru the junk. What you might like depends on your personal tastes, but the sites I listed have a lot of what I think is good material, that is good (but not great) video quality.
Click the link above, you get a special offer of $5 for 30 days full membership in the netFameSolutions network of 19 sites, which includes Devils Film.
Remember to uncheck the special offers that are part of the sign-up process, or you will probably be re-subscribed to PornAcess. Lol. You have to specifically uncheck the special offers when signing up for any of the sites run by this company, but they have some very nice offers: a special low price for membership to a bunch of nice sites.
But you have to remember to cancel the 30-day membership before it renews, because the renewal price is much higher than the price you can get thru PU/TBP, or thru some special offer that might be available.
Regarding site score: You said you "stumbled into some really great stuff", and that's the problem. Either you get lucky, and find some clips you really like, or you stumble around in the poor-quality junk and lose patience to keep looking. My problem (one of them) is that I get frustrated easily. If I see one lousy clip after another, I just stop searching for the good stuff that might be there.
The site has a huge amount of content. If they organized it better, the score (value) of the site could increase dramatically. But they really need to delete the massive number of duplicate links to the same video clips, because that adds to the difficulty of searching thru the clips.
They also need to give the clips some simple descriptive title.
They also need some way to highlight the better quality clips, to make them easier to find.
The current structure of the site is like a garbage dump, where they just toss all the junk (and good stuff) into a common yard, then write up an inventory listing that is almost worthless to try using.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: stinger, one that stings.
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," quote by Muhammad Ali.
Stinger sounds like a wannabe boxer/fighter. But as the great one also said, "My toughest fight was with my first wife."
So how good is Stinger in a clinch?
My guess is Vegas Ken and Stinger are 2 separate people. Vegas Ken is just passing along the news of the special $5 membership offer that Stinger (from Porn Access) is telling us about.
If you were just making a joke, sorry, sometimes I can be kind of slow on the uptake.
Just checked my email, and I got a confirmation on my membership.
It says:
"You ordered the following product:
30 days Membership at 5.00 USD that will automatically rebill every 30 days at 29.95 USD.
Site URL:: http://www.pornaccess.com"
Also, remember to uncheck the special offer when you give your credit card information, unless you want to join whatever site they are currently promoting when you join the porn access site.
