Then, at the end, you would have a ready-publicized movie to sell. I would watch that in a heartbeat (the show and the movie). That is a frickin' genius idea...so much so that I am ashamed that I didn't think of it myself! I'd also like to see some enterprising porner do an XXX-rated take on something like <link> too. Loving your blog, by the way!

    Kind of a question from left field here, Howard, but seeing as you're the man with an 'in' at Vivid...did Paul Thomas' book 'Waiting For Wood' ever get published? I'd love to read it (even if it was just a galley version), but all I can find are listings for it. Nobody ever actually has it in stock. Any updates you or PT might be able to give on this project would be gratefully received!

Completely fake...Mel is now married I believe (to a bloke, no less). Maybe it was their half-hearted attempt to steal some of the thunder from the extremely popular double act over at the Daily Star around that time, namely Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh?

    Wow! I guess you'll definitely be 'forced' to be a pirate forever now, eh? Kind of convenient how that worked out for you. Oddly enough, while I haven't taken out a BoB membership in years (since they've finally gotten their affiliate program FHGs to accurately mirror the content available on the site. Previously there was something of a lag between the two), I've never had the slightest problem signing up.

With the sites I'm interested in I doubt I would have 20 DVD's worth thus my cost would be lower than having to keep a subscription to watch them whenever I wanted. Most sites let you download the content, so you can either save it to your hard drive or burn it to disc if you have a CD writer. Ergo, you don't have to join up every time you want to watch, just one time. If a new scene takes your fancy six months down the line, join up again and download it. My question is whether these sites are missing out on a significant ...

    StillHope wrote: Also, whether you all like this or not, many porn consumers have reasons for keeping that part of their life in the dark. Many people walk in my home and see my DVD collection, few if any use my computer. You know, this is a topic for a whole different thread (probably in The Feature Side), but it has always struck me that due to the traditional stigma attached to porn, it is at a distinct disadvantage when compared to other more mainstream media. As you correctly point out, when you invite someone into your home, they will most likely see your DVD collection, your CD, rack, your bookshelf etc., and will draw their own conclusions based on what they find there. Whereas certain items (say a book by a cult author or a CD by...

    Rick James Jr wrote: If the product I want isnt made available on DVD ,Im forced to become a pirate. 'Forced' to become a pirate? Again, let's examine the logic of this argument: The porn you want isn't available on DVD, ergo you illegally download a copy which is an exact reproduction of the content you would find on the paysite, identical in every way (such being the nature of digital media). I fail to see how this solves the problem of the content not being available on DVD. You're getting the exact same content you would have got had you paid up and joined the site and legally downloaded it. All I see is a weak attempt to justify piracy, I'm afraid.

I think straight fans get by far the better end of the deal on this one. By the way, you do realise ADT has a Gay forum too, and that by patronising ADT even as a mere surfer as opposed to an active link/ad clicker, you are helping to partially fund the existence of it? Hell, you're practically on the down low just being here. the oversaturation is due to to inferior knock off product and over aggressive compilation releases.fans who buy/rent ,the bulk of the DVD market, do...

As Billy says, its $2 per site.Ok ,then charge me $8 for 4 sites of my choice.by BoB billys reckoning. Actually, it was me and not Billy who said it works out to a little over $2 a site, but it's true whoever said it. Either way you slice it, it's still better value than $35 for one site. That's not to say $35 represents bad value for money, as with a site like BoB it means you are paying $8.25 per scene. You'll end up paying a lot more than that for a lot less quality on some of these individual clip retail sites. Also, you're not paying for content that you have no intention of watching. You'r...

    Rick James Jr wrote: most people DO NOT want all 14 sites, they usually want just 3 or 4. Putting aside the fact that your statement is mere conjecture as opposed to empirically-demonstrable fact, I fail to see the logic of your argument here, perhaps because there actually isn't any? Just because members have membership to all 15 sites doesn't actually mean they have to utilise it. They can just choose to look at the sites that interest them. It's not like Billy Watson comes to your house and points a loaded gun at your head and tells you which scenes/sites you may or may not look at. Also, are you seriously suggesting that if you were offered access to four sites for $35 versus access to 15 sites (including the 4 you really want) for t...

Obviously you missed what Billy said...if you join any site in the <link> family, you get access to all of them, which is 14 different sites if I remember correctly (15 if Cuckold Sessions is thrown in too, but I can't say for sure on that one...it only says 14 if you look at the join page)). Maybe Billy can clear this up next time he posts? Still, 14 sites is pretty good going for $35 bucks a month...that's a little more than $2 per site, per month by my reckoning.
