Need to blog about recent changes to of my favorite porn sites.
Anybody know about the Bangbus? The conceit is that these three guys (a cameraman, a driver and the well-hung fucking guy) drive a minivan around Miami picking up chicks who get in, reveal that they are whores, get offered cash and proceed to have sex in front of the camera. Of course it's not real; the girls are all (or nearly all) porn stars "acting." But by God, whenever I was jerking off to the preview videos on the site I pretended that it was all real. Guess I loved the concept so much I suspended my disbelief.
Their splash page was laid out such that the latest "pick-up" was the first you'd see and you'd scroll down the page for the previous week's Bangbus, then further down for the week before, etc. Also, their updates were put up every Wednesday, so for the past, oh, decade or so (?) I would, almost invariably, get to the Bangbus at some point on Wednesday to see who the next (in their words) "victim" was.
Until about a couple weeks ago. I sit down and get ready to get hard, but when I surf over to the site I see that their entire format has fucking changed. No latest updates anymore; instead there are three columns of screengrabs of scenes of these "pick-ups." I can't tell where the most recent "stranger" bang is because it doesn't say. I don't know if there even has been one because the pictures are of vids I've seen and beat off to weeks, months, even years before. I'm glad that the vast majority of these pics are facials, but that is not what I come to the Bangbus for. And, when you click on the picture there isn't a free truncated highlight reel of the scene but a sign-up form. That's bullshit. You give me all this good porn for free and now you just take it away from me? Fuck you, Bangbus.
At around the same time another porn site I rely on changed formats. Hot Sex Series, for at least ten years, had a welcome page of a modified biohazard symbol; they still had those three crescent-shaped panels, but you could see an image of a woman's face on one of them and her breasts in the other two. You hit "Enter" instead of "Exit," and you then get to the list of links updated daily. So it's not a standalone producer of porn, but an aggregator, and that was alright with me, because their links were pithy but informative statements about what it was -- "UNIFORM SEX" or "SECRETARY SEX" or "MMFF GROUP SEX." Sure, they recycled the pictorials and videos, but when I needed some material, it did in a pinch. Besides, I've gone to that site for years, and I still liked going to it from time to time.
Their new website approach doesn't take away as much as Bangbus did, but it took out a lot. This too now has a matrix of pictures. If you click on one of those, you do get to see that scene's full video in its entirety, and for free. Two things wrong with that, however. The first reason: I grew up with Hot Sex Series as a link to pictures, sort of like seeing a Penthouse pictorial online. It predated the advent of online video, and that was still A-OK with me.
The second reason kind of ties into the first: My Internet connection sucks. Last month I upgraded the Internet speed to our house (we have DSL, how much longer I can't say) and none of us can see an appreciable increase. Moreover, the last two or three nights the goddamn Internet has gone back on the blink. (I'm typing this particular sentence at just before 3 a.m. and right now I can't connect. I'll have to wait until either we turn off the air conditioning or when I wake up to send this because I just flat-out can't right now.) A connection this unreliable is absolutely no way to watch an online porn video. Trust me, I've tried: When the modem is working it still takes several agonizingly long minutes for a vid to download. If I don't wait until it's completely downloaded, it's slow enough that I see the beginning part of it and catch up, so the video has to stop and reload some more seconds before playing again.
So Hot Sex Series and Bangbus are now out of the porn rotation. To where can I turn to in order to find free masturbating material?
