Has Anyone Here Ever Paid For Porn Before?

    It's with shame I write that I have and in fact probably spent around $200 since I started oh I don't know 6 years ago?

    I just yesterday paid $5 for 30 days access to one of the largest porn networks yesterday in an overwhelming frenzy for PMO.

    Regular price is either $30 or $45 so I was slick enough to get a "deal."

    The reason why I did it is because most of the free porn videos are cut and edited from full length releases from the porn studios and uploaded by them as well. They are commercials more than anything. Even the "amateur" stuff probably originated from a paid amateur website and not actually uploaded by the amateurs themselves.

    Those cuts and edits really piss me off and make me yearn for the full thing. That's why I've subscribed.

    I even seek out people who share their passwords for access to more sites or that's what I did in the past I mean. Those days are behind me now.

    Even when I get the full length release I find myself more like a film critic as the camera angles...what their wearing....lighting... dialogue... pisses me off in some way.

    I'm ashamed to say I've become something of a porn connoisseur. Or I was but not anymore.

    That's another reason I can't watch porn free or paid as I will be critical of something I can't just mindlessly watch and wank I need everything to be "perfect."

    Though I like the challenge to refrain from porn for the whole 30 days this subscription is going. If I can get through this 30 days I'd say the $5 was well spent.

  2. I paid for VHS tapes and magazines when I was in college. I had my own apartment with Dial up internet during junior year. I had to drive to some shady suburb city where porn stores were allowed and either rent or purchase VHS or DVDs. rentals were a couple bucks but a full length movie could cost up to $40. I would trip out because there would be these oooold ass dudes who looked like they were in their 70s walking around with big stacks of porn movies like they should have gotten a shopping cart. Old school PMO shit. After college, internet downloads were more feasable and the tubes started popping up. Im glad i came up when I did. Actually having to drive to get the porn probably prevented me from turning into a total porno fiend. Spending 40 bucks a pop is very cost prohibitive. You also had to make your selection count so you werent gonna pick up some wierd shit just to investigate.

    I considered it when I saw a preview that I really liked and wanted to see the whole thing. Even in my horny state though I couldn't bring myself to give my credit card or other personal info to one of those shady sites/companies.

    Had I been able to discreetly pay for it with cash, I probably would have. I wouldn't have gone into a store, though, for fear of being seen. I wouldn't meet up with someone selling it online either.

    My cautious/pessimistic nature helped me out there.

    We all end up paying one way or another when it comes to this.

    I paid my life, my job, my career, my marathon runs, my workouts, my relationships, my exams, my classes, my eyesight, my physique, my hairs and my soul.
     
  6. Never paid for it because I used tube sites or torrents, but interestingly, never had the guts to go out and buy a magazine or DVD in a shop, i guess because you're infront of another person and obviously they know what you're buying and probably thinking 'wow what a perv' in the back of their mind, then there's the fear that once you walk out the store you bump into someone like your grandfather or a work colleague 'Oh hey, party for one tonight is it?' I reckon if i had grown up a decade earlier I may have just ended up getting a girlfriend, getting married and doing something useful with my life. I'm only now starting to reach towards a better outlook. Wasted soooo much time watching porn on the internet.

    Before I registered here I read about one of your experiences as a result of your porn addiction and what it led you to do.

    It was one of the most powerful things I ever read on here and sometimes I think about it when I feel like relapsing.

    I paid for porn sites for a few years back in the day. Don't fret over any dollar amount. That's pocket change compared to your overall well-being.

    This also brings up a great point for why this addiction is so hard to beat. You don't really need any $ to fuel your addiction. Can't really say that about any other addiction.

    I paid for magazines and VHS videos.

    I then found out that you could view the videos in little booths at the store. I paid to sit there with a VCR (later DVD), television and box of tissues.

    I paid for porn streaming - I did not have to rent the entire movie and could jump from clip to clip.

    Then porn became free through tubesites.

    They know how to get you.

    This is what makes the internet so pernicious. I wonder what Steve Jobs would have to say about it... the guy who wanted us all to be 'empowered' with a personal computer. Seems to me, the exact opposite is going on... a disempowerment.

    At least in the good old days, you had to go to some kind of effort to gain access to the world of vice... now, it's just a click away in the comfort of your own home. Some empowerment that is.

    Steve wouldn't even let his kids use computers or go on the internet. Think he knew something we didn't?

    Get off my thread you dirty pagan.

    I ended my RK membership 2 months ago. It was costly like a gym membership. I liked the quality of filming, just the substance sucked. 1 great video out of 25 average daily updates. In a do over I might get a different section, maybe one designed around fetishes. Or some ebony shit.

    I never paid for porn, I always thought "why should I pay for something I can get for free?"
