I think you've hit the nail on the head. Today's porn is lacking in any kind of affection. I think that's why I like watching lesbian movies. There is a company called Girlfriends Film which has some really passionate movies. I'm not asking for a masterpice, but I do want a kind of story and character intercation, and some kissing. I think that Anette was the most beautiful but there are dozens of late 70 early 80's actresses that I consider one notch above most of what's available today. I've read on differnt blog and forum sites people that compare todays stuff to the golden age of porn and the only thing which we have today lacking in the older stuff is lighting and better view of the sex. I think that if a studio wanted to, it could make something like Autobiography of a flea or any other bygone movie. You only need a script, a director, some good actors and actresses, and a desire to make a good movie, as oppose to a profitable one. That lost one is the main reason why there are few, if any good movies today.
I agree that they are a gimmick, but what a distasteful one. I also know that we are stuck with mindless gonzo porn, and that facials are part of that. I just wish we'd go back to a milder version with a small story and not the "paint by number" gonzo porn we see today. I watch movies these days and I can't find anything sexually arousing, because there is no surprise and because every scene is identical to the last 20 movies before it. Most of todays porn includes some or all of these: facials, ATM, PTM, Cum swallowing by the gallon, upside down pile driving sex, no kissing, bad blowjobs, DP's, slapping, chocking, verbal abuse and to top it all off badly filmed, and edited. No wonder I can't get turned on anymore. On a side note I still think that Annette Haven is probably the most beautiful porn star that has ever been.
Those pornstars need to just tell those phucking producers that they ain't taking it in the face before they start their scene or they will go to another company!! It's because some of these pornstars are so fucking hot, I bet those producers say they just absolutely have to have them on camera!!! >:(
I just went and looked up the WSJ article on the PEW Study; that is quite interesting. Though raised with a quite lax Roman-Catholic upbringing (though I did go as far as Confirmation, mainly because then I didn't have to go to church.) - these days I've settled into a happily agnostic existence. Yet I'm always somewhat fascinated at how many people are religious and to what degree they are.
For some people it seems to be a great relief, a lifting of their life's burdens by being able to apply a specific greater plan to their personal trials and tribulations. Others use it as a sense of purpose, a compass for their life and a hand-book for their behavior. Then there are the sociopaths that use it to get money and power - but that's a different crowd.
While I don't see any particular reason to believe in religion (though by its own definitions there is no reason not to either) I would never take away religion from people who gain comfort from it. That study stated that a whopping 60% of Americans consider it a very important part of their life - with the French turning in at on 12%. I guess it goes to show that our country's heritage of religious belief runs deeper than I would have imagined.
When I think about it: sure, all of our country's important documents talk about God. All of our politicians must profess an affiliation with a major religion - and of course the earliest settlers were so loyal to their religion that rather than convert they crossed an ocean. I guess I assumed interest would have wained more by now.
And back to the acceptance of differences topic line - you are quite correct, a lot of effort was put into it - the national opinion didn't drift that way on its own. There are a lot of dedicated and brave people fighting for human rights of all kinds in the US - and while much progress is left to be done, much progress has been made - and done so without the US abandoning its religions - which I think is rather interesting.
Ah, how I do love how these topics shoot off on wild tangents, lol
There are a couple of european sites - don't remember which - where they talk real funny in the socalled interviews.
One site - russian I guess - this guy try to get the embarrased model to talk:
"What's your naijme..."
He sounds like this antique-dealer-assistant guy named Serge (with a twist of lemon) in one of the early Eddie Murphy-movies at Berverly Hills PD.
Is that a turn-off or what?
Yes, it's always the same---they pan up the camera from the floor slowly to the girls face..."What's your name?" "Are you ready to suck some cock?" "Show me your tits!". And then they cop a cheap feel while I'm screaming at my monitor for him to shut the hell up!
Guess - had these guys been into porn/pornsites as long as a lot of us here at PU have, they might be influenced by some sort of self-irony/self-critic - and avoid those foolish interviews...
I really like the part you mention with Lenka Horokovas answer.
And yes, if you can't do those interviews (if any at all) professionally - drop it.
BTW - a relly good poll, this one. Hope some Co.'s behind websites see it.
Yeah, but most people (at least I *suspect* most people) quit on sites after a month anyway, as the value is gone temporarily at the end of your first month - whether it started with 30, 40 or 50 vids.
I was with Club Sandy for just one month, and quit with hundreds of vids and galleries under my belt. I'll certainly go back once I've been away for a good 6 months, so I get reasonable value again.
I have made the suggestion before: offer various grades of membership at different prices that offer limited quantities. So if you just need to top up with the last 2 months' updates, you would pay, say, $15, and only have access to the last 60 days (and the next 30). First time joiners who want 4 years of material would pay, say, $50 (obviously the more you purchase, the better the value), then maybe $10 for each month they stick around ($10 buys 30 days of updates, with no backlog, for example).
Just a thought. Might not be logistically easy to implement.
Haha .. of course I'm here ... I'm *always* here. ;)
Not sure I'm understanding what you're asking with regards to "ledgers". If you have a specific question, I'll try to answer it.
Maybe I can share some of what I've learned about webmasters who launch new sites that may help the users here at least see why all new sites dont automatically go with what you feel they should.
While there's no hard-fast rules (and there's always exceptions), those opening new sites typically fall into one of three groups.
The first is when an existing network is just adding a new site. Often this is in response to requests from their members about a specific niche. There's a good chance they'll have plenty of content when they launch though there's also a good chance some of it will have been seen elsewhere in their network.
The second is an experienced webmaster who sees a niche that he feels has earning potential. They'll have some content for the site but there's a good chance most of it is licensed from a third party content producer (and may have been seen elsewhere). It's unlikely they'll put a whole lot of content into the site until they see if they'll be getting sign-ups to pay for the extra content.
The third is the brand new webmaster. These are usually VERY inexperienced. Often a surfer who decided they wanted to try their hand at running a site. Many just bought a new camera and think they're now content producers. Amateur sites often fall into this group too. This group often will have fresh, original content but the quality might not be consistent. The problem is, they also tend to underestimate how much content they need to launch a site. As MargulisAZ mentioned, they're often in a rush to start seeing some earnings since by now they've spend far more than they originally estimated.
There will likely be a few webmasters in the first two groups who scan the polls (and reviews) here at PornUsers. I doubt many in the third group do.
Contrary to what many surfers may think, producing good content isn't cheap and at the end of the day, most porn sites are businesses so the owners look for a good return on their investment. Giving away a ton of content at the initial launch and following with frequent updates often doesn't seem (to them) like a good business decision.
Hopefully something in there helps you see the question from the other side of the glass.
You tell 'em Drooler! The fact is, usually before you sign up to a site, its extremely hard - if not impossible - to gauge *quality* as they invariably stick up a load of top notch horny pics and clips on the tour pages to suck you in (if you'll excuse the pun). But that is so often not reflective of the true quality once inside. It may be - it may not.
So we can't really use 'quality' as a criterion when joining - after all, we'd all obviously choose 'top quality' if we could guarantee it. But we can only allow a little faith on that point.
What we *can* gauge objectively is the *quantity* of material available on the sites; that's why this poll is so relevant, IMO. And when you have such sites as Sapphic Erotica, Club Sandy, Pics & Videos, etc. offering hundreds of movies and galleries, one does have raised expectations of what you should get for your buck.
If I could find a fault with this poll, it is that the highest option was '50'. I would have started with '30' and gone up to maybe '100' in my options. But I'm being picky. Good poll.
I have already lived over thousand years so porn is available to me as follows:
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4.28 weeks a month (I use this number to calculate my monthly income), 12 months a year, 10 years a decade, 10 decades a century, 10 CENTURIES A MILLINIUM!!! :D :D :D
Or James Hanson. Actually, don't ask him, whatever you do. He'll just find a way of linking it to global warming, like he does everything else. We'll have to buy porn credits, and be accountable for our spunk footprint. Guys with vasectomies will be taxed less of course, for 'running on unleaded' with lower emissions. And developing nations will be deprived of ever getting the porn we in the West enjoy.
Thank you, you elaborated a bit more than I felt comfortable on a site like this, but you are exactly right. Denner brought up the point that living in a free society is better than the alternative and I would also agree with that, but in my opinion neither is anything close to ideal, and both cultures will eventually lead to societal decline. So while I enjoy porn I do not believe that it is by itself the ideal form of sexual fullfilment, I probably would prefer to have a wife and a traditional family (even if like most women my wife would probalbly hate porn, thinking it degrading to women).
However I have seen too many good men brought to their knees both emotionally and financially in the culture/society we are a part of. The meteoric rise of the adult industry, (which now dwarfs all other forms of entertainment in earning power) coupled with the continuing decline in the number of traditional marriages underscores that there is a problem. This may not be the place to discuss it though, so I will leave it at that.
Man, I will marry Daisy Marie in a heartbeat, you muthaphuckas!! I am serious!! This woman is, I don't know!!! But she is bad than a muthaphucka!!
Man, I love Slender Exotic Pornstars!! Let me mention some more HOT PICKS:
Alexis Love, Kat (Don't like when she does Anal, though), Lacy Duvalle, Leah Luv (Before she started doing Anal), Sarah Blake, Hennesie, Sunshine (Light-Skinned Ebony girl), 99...
Oh, but I have to mention this one girl, black and latina, her name is Sabara!!! Ooooooohhh MAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!! The first time I saw this woman was on a video where she teased to camera for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, in a thong and nothing else!!!
SOOOOOO MUCH ASS, MAN, and it was one of those asses that looked like a perfect unside-down heart, THE MOST TITATIUM ROCK HARDENING ASS LINES... I had to keep rubbing my face in disbelief like, "OH MY GOD!!!" Try seeing if you can locate her on the web!! :-D
I'll hit up Rick or Khan and ask if they have ever thought about implementing that option.
I have a gang of names I like to look up on the net, but if I can do it in PornUsers, perhaps some vital information we discuss here will get to them or get noticed.
