How do people afford the videos?

I love the scenes on LP/AV but I struggle to be able to afford them. Every month there are so many videos that look great but on my previous subscription I could only afford about 4-6 a month.

If there was an option to pay more for an unlimited download membership I would jump on it. How do the rest of you afford the videos in the current pay-per format?

Its a question of priority I think.
The content I am looking for costs despite all those recent AVLP price rises still at least half the price I payed for it 15-20y. ago. Ad de facto going back to dvd age I actually spend much more less on porn films than just half the price, rather up to 10 times less. But I do watch and also buy more. Well... anyway, everybody has to allocate how much he wants to spend on this or that commodity.

Thus I just re-charge once in a while per month with another 120tkt.
This said I try to do it a bit less than a few months ago again. It all comes a bit in porn consumer waves with me.

But generally, videos are not THAT expensive compared with dvd age at all. They used to be way too cheap, especially if we consider fee rises for the girls and studio costs last 2-3y in Prague. Girls need to get payed fair and good fees if we dont want them all to go to cam, OF only or the other side of sex work only.

Some of use have greater access to a larger amount of disposable income and we are happy to support the porn industry, especially LP/AV.

As such, we buy the scenes as and when we want/like.
As for downloading the videos from Torrent sites, myself and many other customers here are fully aware that this can be done and it will be for free.
However, that would be a great disservice to the porn industry and we should not be advocating video piracy, especially for premium quality porn.

I find comments like the above distasteful. We want porn to continue, to improve and to further evolve so should be doing our part in it.

Yes, having to resort to use bittorent is sad, we agree. But sure some who live in their mom's basement can't do otherwise

A pint of beer in the UK is £5. I drink about 6 pints beer less every month to enjoy the scenes here.

Yes, torrenting is pretty sad for cheapskates who can't afford to pay for things. Not saying I've never done it in the past, but I can currently afford a monthly subscription, so I pay that to support the site and the models. The less people pay, the crappier the content will get, and the higher the individual ticket prices get to cover the shortfall. Plus, it nice to get a little pervy thrill knowing that you are financially encouraging and paying for girls to take it up the butt, and directly funding such a job.

To the OP's original point, I sympathise, as scene prices have pretty much doubled over the past five years (probably not unrelated to the amount of freeloaders out there). Ticket prices are now so high that the regular sub price will only get you a few scenes per month, so you are either going to have to be very choosy, or re-load on tickets all the time. As an alternative (or to tide you over), you might want to consider the Pornworld unlimited subscription, which is on the old standard model of giving you thousands of scenes for a monthly fee, and works out as great value. The action isn't quite as hard, but plenty of the same models, and will certainly save you a bundle.

In general, I think there are a handfull of 'whales' out there, who have so much money they can (and do) buy everything - even those crappy overpriced amatuer videos that have started being uploaded here. There rest of us have to pick and choose. There used to be a monthyl sub option to get all the scenes from specific studios like Gonzo and Giorgio at a monthly discount rate, but they discontinued that sadly. If that came back, I'd certainly consider subbing.

edit: Forgot to mention that by downloading for free from Torrents we would actually steel from the girls we claim to support, admire and even love.

Am I the only one finding it ironic when pokerguy insults people with enough disposable income that they can choose to support the hardworking women and studios who shoot for this demanding platform, despite all of us paying customers being both aware of and capable of finding porn for free, if we so choose?

The guy is clearly illiterate and based on his contributions in this thread, wouldn't be able to hold a job to afford to do the same himself. Yet he calls us sad... Pathetic!

This guy complains that sites have gone downhill since 2017, yet is too much of a cheapskate to pay for anything even though he can apparently afford it, and can't see a connection? Duh.

I give you some advices.

Try to focus in the kind of scenes are you looking for. Surely one studio here covers your preferences more than the others: Girls, locations, outfits, male crew, performance.

Is about preferences, unless you have a lot of money to spend, is a good idea to focus in a studio that shoot scenes based on your tastes. Anyway is a good thing check others ones if you have some budge.

I based my spend on that idea.

About the money, there are some ways to support an scene per day or a studio:

First, the subscription of 3 months gives you 48 TKT each month (70 € in one pay) = around 6 scenes if the price is of 7 TKT, later you got the 20% discount to buy TKTs.

Basically with additional 250 TKT (155 € with the 20% discount) +- adding the charge of suscription TKT (48) (around 300 TKT) you should be able to buy one scene per day (225€ first month(suscription + additional TKTs), 155€ in the second and third month only for add the 250 TKT package).

You must think the tkt price per scene change but is a realistic close average with the current prices. Sadly these days you spend around 1.75 more with the same quantity of TKTs that 2-3 years ago.

Every user here have a different financial situation but is a "good deal",

He is embarrassing himself. It is entertaining. I hope he will do unvoluntary humor more often here, I need a good laugh.

A couple of other suggestions - don't neglect the earlier scenes. There are some cracking releases from a few years back which have much lower ticket prices than the newer ones, so if you dive into the back catalogue every so often it will help your tickets go further, and you'll get more for your monthly sub.

Another thing to consider if your tickets are low is focusing on what new model (or maybe underselling model) you want to see more of and support. One of the frustrating things about torrenting is when a new model comes along and does 1 or 2 scenes, then Giorgio says she won't be rebooked as there wasn't 'enough demand' for her, yet you know full well there are thousands of freeloaders out there watching the scene. If all these people just paid £1 or£2 each, there's probably be enough money that she'd have come back, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in. It's sad to think of how many potentially great girl's careers have been cut short this way. But hey - that's the modern day, and it's only going to get worse.

Well i use monthly tokens to buy scenes i like. I dont buy the most expensive scenes, mostly with newcomers, favourite performers. Yes there is other way to get all of the videos, but I feel its kinda lame, but I download from time to time something from Brazzers, Tushy etc.
Same with streaming platforms, I am paying only for Netflix monthly, other like HBO GO or Prime Video i pay only for like month when i want to see some specific film/series.
If I should pay for everything, it would cost me more than 1000€ and I am not talking about things like OF (which is kinda lame, pay to subscribe + pay for scenes, lol)

Yes, I fully agree! Maybe, he doesn't know what he is into. It is important to know your "needs" and have concrete criteria:
For example, for me, no problem, to go back a couple of years.
I try to find out by assessing reviews and trailers, how the scene actually is and if it might satisfy me.
There are many models from whom you know what you get and can expect.
So, no need to buy every new scene. Not all of them are made for all of us.

The more criterias you have, the better it is. And the more precise you are, the less you spend.
You spend even less money, although you might buy expensive scenes.

Having all those precise criteria and just buying those scenes is also important as hopefully there will be a good
allocation of the resources...demand goes up and we get more of it and hopefully in even better quality...

My crieria e.g.:
- natural normal body with no or minor tatoos
- gangbangs or 1on1, 2on1
- the hardest fucking possible
- no 2 female models in one scene.

I am happy to spend good money on those type of scenes as long as those criteria are fulfilled. Better spend 3 TKT more
and you get exceptional stuff.

I used to buy a few scenes here to complement my other subscriptions. Then I bought a significant amount of Tesla stock in 2016.
Now I buy whatever I like and have the time to watch. I like the idea of supporting the studios and the performers.

People who steal porn are people who steal in grocery stores or whenever they think they are not watched. Why pay when you can steal?
They will eventually be caught and their life will spiral downhill with drug abuse, lies, no job and no family or friends.
I don't believe stealing porn is their biggest problem. I mean, can you imagine pokerguy having any friends?

You are the reason the videos are so expensive here.

I am in disbelief about how much people spend on cars, watches, computers and televisions. Don't they know you an just steal them? Sad.
