Pornreports is the original Internet porn review: A consumer's
guide to porn on the Web.
Since porn is the engine driving the
Internet economy, it seems only fair that somebody hold porn
merchants--notorious for their deceptive, if not downright false advertising--accountable to a public standard. This is what
pornreports.com seeks to do.
What we hope to provide is a useful directory of pay sex sites. This
is a large industry, operating almost entirely without regulatory standards, so as
consumers it is up to you to do your homework. You may disagree with the
opinions expressed here, but we think it would be
foolish to ignore them. Buyer beware. And in case you want a second
opinion--just check out the links we provide to other reviews! We were the first
adult review site to provide such a feature. We did it to help you make
a better informed decision. We aren't affiliated with any other review
sites and we
don't get
kickbacks
from them.
The
number of
adult
Internet
reviews has
been growing
steadily
over the
years. Most
of them are
pretty good,
though many
of the new
ones tend to
look and
sound the
same. For a
general
overview of
what's out
there, see
our general
index of The
Reviews
Reviewed.
From
the
beginning
our
philosophy
was a bit
different.
We don't
have the
largest
database of
sites under
review, and
never will. We
don't go
into a lot
of technical
detail,
though we
try and
cover that
angle as
best we can.
We're just
here to take
an honest,
critical
look at
Internet
porn. When
we first got
started
no one else
was doing
anything
like this so we
had to come
up with our
own house
style. We
took porn
seriously,
and not just
as an
industry. We
believe that
porn is an
important
part of our
culture. Our
standards
are
subjective
(of course),
but
consistent.
It's an
approach you
won't find
anywhere
else.
But
reviewing
porn isn't
like other
kinds of
reviewing. For
one thing,
adult
sites are moving
targets. And
while we try
our best to
keep up with
re-visits
and
re-reviews
(we post one
a week),
there are
limits to
how much we
can do.
With that in
mind, here's
a point of caution when reading any site review: Always
take note of
the date of review. This should be posted. A site that was a dog
a year ago might have really improved under new management, while even
the best sites can go downhill or stop adding new material (hint: always
look to see if the preview/tour lists recent updates before
joining). In addition, the technical standards are always changing.
Remember
when you
watched
video at 250 kb/s
and thought
it looked great?
Back
before
anyone had
ever heard of
"reality
porn"?
Those
innocent days
are long
gone.
None of the people operating this site is an insider or
has any
connection to the porn industry, so don't expect the latest news and
gossip. If we hear of any important announcements, we will try to pass
them along. If you're interested in DVD reviews there are plenty of
other places to go.
The main thing we want to see in a site is good content. We look for
two things: quality and quantity. Is there a lot of content? Is it worth looking
at (taking into consideration both the production quality and technology
used)? Is there much variety?
From there we go on to consider such things as:
---is it a fair price? Do they offer a trial rate? Is it a real
or "limited" (scam) trial?
---how hard is the Webmaster working on the site? Are there frequent
updates? Chats? Do they answer their e-mail?
---does technical support seem adequate?
---in the case of videos, are they available for download (good) or
streaming (bad)? Are they "protected" by DRM?
---is the site well designed? Easy to navigate?
---are there any extra features? Are they really special, or are
they just the usual licensed content and grab-bag of feeds?
Our assumption heading into a review is that anyone considering
getting a membership is already a fan. There's no point complaining that
a particular performer is too old/fat/skinny/ugly/covered in tattoos
etc. We assume you know what they look like. We also assume that anyone
interested in getting a membership at a fetish site is interested in
that fetish. We aren't going to tell you that fat chicks/watersports/grannies
etc., are disgusting. If this wasn't your thing, why would you consider paying for
it?
Generally speaking, most porn on the Internet is a good value
compared to what you would pay for a video or magazine (remember
those?). As a result,
most sites will score 5 or better. Anything lower should be taken
as a real warning flag.
Of course, no links will be accepted to sites featuring children,
bestiality, or
real violence.
The site is designed to be quick and easy to use. We hope
you find it of some assistance, and look forward to any feedback.
Now: Be careful out there!
Sincerely,
Chris Dee (Technical Support)
