I am an associate on a website that has a predominantly US member base. Each month the clips available for download are summed up with the top 10 clips receiving awards. 99% of the time these clips will be softcore or even simulated sex scenes (such as Penthouse or Playboy style movies).
To back up this I did a bit of research. I checked a well known torrent site (that I look at to ensure that none of my content ever appears on) and found that although all the perfectgonzo stuff does appear, its download amount are low. Given that this is theoretically free on these sites and has received low downloads, would suggest that its not actually that popular!
Thank you. American consumers get insulted on this board far more than deserved - and most of the times those making the comments are flat out wrong.
Most Americans stick to softcore / lesbian porn, or the more intimate stuff, like husband & wife sites (every American porn surfer knows of and likes Heather Brooke, Desirae Spencer, Wifey, as to a lesser extent Rio, Dawn, Dagny - and in my opinion, the *best* stuff was from motel69star, compared to stuff like that, *all* the European hardcore sites are boring). Certainly no fake tits. Americans LOVE the solo girls, Jana Jordan, Sandy Summers, NextDoorNikki, Pattycake, Sarah Peachez. Americans hated when Karen Dreams got a tit job. If a survey were done of the PerfectGonzo sites, GiveMePink would be the *overwhelming* favorite.
The subject of this thread is not a problem of what people want - it's a problem of what people are willing to pay for. If a second survey were done of how much $$ is spent by those who prefer lite porn, versus those who prefer rough porn...
Personally, I gave up just about all hardcore porn after seeing the video that went along with these photos:

Absolutely horrible, no chance that scene was acted. I don't care how friendly they may have been before / after the scene - the scene is deplorable.
Hell, I even cringe when I browse the forums here and see all the disgusting avatars. The only reason I registered an account here was hoping the user control panel allowed disabling avatars.
I'd imageblock the site, but then I'd also lose all the images in the main index pages.
Just look at the culture of this forum - a new dvd is released featuring a girl taking it in the ass from 5 different guys, and, say, a 6th is pissing on her face - there's a rally cry "I can't wait, gimme gimme gimme!" The other day someone announced a dvd of solo performances and made sure to add a big "Yawn!" in the thread title. It's probably a nice little group of people here, and don't get me wrong I do love all the effort put into organizing all the girls and their aliases and their sites - but there's a definite reason why the bottom of the forum says:
"Most users ever online was
120 on Tue Oct 09, 2007 8:50 am"
while the porn forum I frequent more often has 2,500 users online
right now (and no, it's a strict no-piracy allowed forum).
