Tube sites evoke all sorts of reaction from porn aficionados. For the average user, tube sites represent free porn videos en masse. To the industry, it looks an awful lot like the Reaper has come for their sales. Their fear is well founded: if nobody pays for porn, then the adult industry will be forced to shrink, which is bad for everybody, including the users of free porn.
Personally, I pay for porn, and I do so for multiple reasons — quality being foremost.
I do realize that I am an outlier though – and that given the opportunity, most people opt for cheap shitty service versus paying top-dollar for something nice. Just take a look at budget airline ticket itineraries, the prevalence of fast-food/Wal-Mart culture and you’ll see what I mean.
But despite their threat to the adult industry, I still watch and reluctantly support the tube porn sites.
I personally spend at least 30 minutes a day skimming through tube porn – usually over breakfast. I find it’s a fantastic and efficient way to learn about new studios and new talent. If I’m enamored by the filming or the star, I will inevitably research the subject further which may ultimately lead to a DVD sale or adult site membership – which is usually money well spent thanks to the solid preview I was able to view.
Tube sites are also great for trying something new. Just over a year and a half ago, I was only interested softcore and easygoing lesbian porn. I rarely ventured outside of my comfort zone with my purchases because I simply didn’t want to waste money on something I might regret.
These days, I love hardcore porn. Why? Because I ventured outside of my comfort zone and discovered that there were in fact studios that film the act of sex as a respectable work of art – which is the whole point of this site.
I am most encouraged by the challenge set forth by tube sites. Such an abundance of free porn videos has really driven the innovation of adult studios. Now we are beginning to see films, photos, and members-only sites that provide a compelling reason to purchase — fantastic high-quality pornography. From big-budget productions like Pirates to the visual feast of X-Art or Daring Sex, I look forward to the creativity and artwork to come from the next generation of pornographers.
What are your thoughts on tube porn sites? I would love to hear from you in the comments below.
Well don’t forget The Art of blowjob. She struggles to present art within the context of her single partner with music. She is truly a pioneer in this struggle to make porn artistic.
How can I forget Camille? She creates fantastic art and demands respect for her pro-porn writing.
I stumbled upon this site, what a great find! Your take on the tube sites is entertaining, I stopped using them because of all the popups and garbage that comes along with them although there are still a few amateur tubes that I will check out on occasion.
I second the voice regarding TAOB. That is one site that pulls all the nuances of lust and sensuality together nicely.
Thanks for the site, it rocks!
Well thanks for checking us out Dev, be sure to check back, I’m always adding new content.
