Are you still monitoring this topic? I've submitted a proposal for the "interracial" category twice (#141, #142), and there's no indication that either of them has been acknowledged; i.e., I've received no response regarding my replies/proposals, and the interracial category still only shows (2) proposals (out of the "at least 3") to be considered. Please let me know what's up. Thank you. @Popper: As part of the big puzzle for better torrent presentations, we'd like to make a Guide to Categories. In order to progress on that project, I propose an upload credit of 2 GB for a definition proposal of a category, until at least 3 different definitions are available for each category. These must be short, one small paragraph. If there are rules regarding their use, the definition should include that. Please keep in mind that the majority of GayTorrent.ru's members are not native English speakers. I suggest that members vote thumbs up the definitions they think are good. The proposer of the best out of the proposals for each category, at my sole discretion; will get extra 5 GB upload credit. Just make your proposals in reply. 1 post per category. Please use English language for the proposals (sorry). We need more description proposals for the existing categories! Here below are listed the categories with the already proposed descriptions. Categories for content formats 3D [box title=Proposal 1]3D - Video rendered in 3D (three-dimensions) makes for a uniquely erotic viewing experience. Most computers require special hardware and powerful chips in order to process this format.[/box] Anime Games [box title=Proposal 1]Anime Games may be of non-sexual, erotic or pornographic/hardcore content playing a game or interacting with it.[/box] Books & Magazines [box title=Proposal 1]Books & Magazines contain still images, usually in pdf format, of printed magazines or books.  Each book or magazine should be a separate file within the torrent.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Books & Magazines include individual books and magazines or collections of them centered on an author, title, series, time period, or theme. These are torrents of pdfs, e-book files such as .epub or .mobi, folders of still images, or other well organized collection.[/box] Comic & Yaoi [box title=Proposal 1a]Comic & Yaoi involves non-sexual, erotic or pornographic/hardcore content under the form of drawn images that usually follow a storyline, added that the concept of Yaoi implies male on male action.[/box] [box title=Proposal 1b]Comic & Yaoi involves non-sexual, erotic or pornographic/hardcore content under the form of drawn images that usually follow a storyline, added that the concept of Yaoi implies male on male action, including bara. [But no shota pls…][/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Comic & Yaoi refers to Western and Asian style drawn erotic and pornographic pictures of male same sex relationships. These can be individual book titles, series, or collections of images based on illustrator, publishing house, or theme. No images can contain images of underage boys (e.g. shotacon), which are banned.[/box] DVD-R [box title=Proposal 1a]DVD-R: Contains files used for creating a copy of a DVD movie[/box] [box title=Proposal 1b]DVD-R: Contains files used for creating a copy of a full DVD movie[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]DVD-R are native DVD with -untouched- content containing menus and/or extras or a shrunk copy of a DVD9 to fit one DVD5 (lower bit rate video quality and/or left out content such as trailers, extra or multiple audio tracks) [/box] DVD-R Non-Porn Images [box title=Proposal 1]Images - contains non-sexual, erotic or pornographic/hardcore photographs of men (as opposed to drawings).[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Image - Photographs, drawings, paintings, etchings, computer-generated illustrations; a single, still picture.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Images - Pictures, photos, drawings, screen-captures, etc. in any format.

Usually involves the usage of non-studio quality audio/visual equipment and little to none scene editing including scene cuts, etc.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Amateur - Videos (of a sexual nature) that are professionally made and where the models are claimed to be "amateurs". True amateur videos should go into the Homemade category.[/box] Anal [box title=Proposal 1]Anal features sex acts involving the insertion and thrusting of the erect penis or an object like a finger or dildo into a person's anus.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Anal - Ass-play focused on the anus. Includes fucking, fingering, dildos, insertion of objects, rimming, and more. Excludes a focus on spanking, which is considered a fetish instead.[/box] Asian [box title=Proposal 1a]Asian features performers whose ethnicity is perceived to have a degree of ancestry from the continent of Asia, including India and the Pacific Islands.[/box] [box title=Proposal 1b]Asian features performers whose ethnicity is perceived to have a degree of ancestry from the continent of Asia, including India and the Pacific Islands. But not Middle East ancestry and Arab region. See also: Middle East category.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Asian includes works with actors whose ethnic ancestry is from the Asia/Pacific region (approximately bounded by Afghanistan to the west, Mongolia, to the north, Hawaii to the east, and Indonesia to the south). The most common countries for Asian gay porn production include Japan and Thailand. Asian includes those with Asian ancestry in other world regions such as Europe and the Americas (e.g. USA, France, Germany) but does not include those from Central and West Asia as there is a separate Middle East category.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Asian is a type of category including actors whose are from Asia countries.[/box] Bareback [box title=Proposal 1]Bareback films have penetrative anal sex without condoms.  Videos from before the 1990s that feature anal sex without condoms are sometimes known as "pre-condom" and may be better suited in the Vintage category.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Bareback means sex bareback riding without anything, it is sex without a condom … Much more fun, enjoyment and joy![/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Bareback - Fucking without condoms, sometimes called "condomless." Typically refers to modern videos. Condomless sex from the 1970s thru early '90s is often called "pre-condom" instead. Clips and movies classifed as "Vintage" are frequently pre-condom.[/box] BDSM [box title=Proposal 1]BDSM must involve one or more of the following activities: Bondage, Domination, Sadism, Masochism. Mere inclusion of accoutrements often used in the BDSM genre does NOT warrant placement in this category if none of the aforementioned activities are present. [/box] Bears [box title=Proposal 1a]Bears are hirsuit men of all body types and ages (Bears, Cubs, Otters, Wolves).[/box] [box title=Proposal 1b]Bears are hirsute men of all body types and ages, Bear encompasses a few sub-categories with the term Bear itself generally referring to "Daddy" types, both in looks and manner. Younger more "boyish" looking or acting Bears often are referred to as "Cubs". The category of "Otter" is bestowed upon those who, lacking the formidable mass often associated with Bears & Cubs, are instead rather lithe in build. Then there are Wolves … a fairly particular type of Bear. This term is reserved for the most feral of the bunch. When a Wolf looks at you across the room ....you know you're being sized up for the bedroom ... or dungeon ... [/box] Bisexual [box title=Proposal 1]Bisexual features sexual acts containing either (a) two men & one woman; (b) two women & one man; or multiple scenes where the same performer is engages in sexual acts with a female and a male.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Bisexual involves the same male performer engaged in sexual activity with other men and woman, including in different scenes. Content which involves the same female performer being engaged in sexual activity with both a man and a woman is better placed in the Straight categories, tough technically bisexual porn. Content where there is no sexual interaction between the male performers but both have sex only with the woman is straight porn.[/box] Black [box title=Proposal 1]Black features relatively dark-skinned performers whose ethnicity is perceived to have a degree of Sub-Saharan African ancestry.[/box] Chubbies [box title=Proposal 1]The defining characteristic of a Chubbie is their rotundness. Merely lacking a 6-pack, or having a bit of a beer-belly or love-handles doesn't cut it. A Chubbie has an ample shed built over their tool! Chubbies are sometimes confused as a sub-category of Bears, Chubbies can be sparsely furry to downright bare. [/box] Clips [box title=Proposal 1]Clips features works that are relatively short in duration, and usually consisting of a single scene or episode, often taken from another larger complete work.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Clips - Either taken from a larger work or created as a short, standalone scene.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Clips are relatively short videos that don't fit easily into any other category - for instance, street or sport scenes. (If the topic does fit clearly in another category, the post should go there.)[/box] Daddies / Sons [box title=Proposal 1]Daddies / Sons features inter-generational action and sex between men with a significant age gap.  Includes daddy/boy roleplay and can also include groupsex.  Videos with daddies only are usually more appropriate for the "mature" category.  This category is all about action between older and younger guys.[/box] Fetish [box title=Proposal 1]Fetish contained more then one specific category, any Kinky interests in the sex should included here: Tie up, Peeing, Fisting, Leather lover, Sex with clothes, Electro, Sounding, Cock rings, Ball plays, Nipple plays, etc. Any lover of special interests will find here as paradise.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Fetish can contain more than one specific category, as long as it focuses on something that plays with kinks, whether it involves objects (such as tying up, leather, cock rings), other types of sexual action (humiliation/abuse, nipple play, peeing, fisting) as well as any kind of specific interest (wrestling, role playing, hypnosis).[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Fetish centres on some aspect that is given an erotic interest. vids in this category may contain sex and penetration but they are more focused on exploiting the erotic qualities of the main aspect: foot worship, nipple play, hypnosis, etc. [/box] [box title=Proposal 4]Fetish - Videos that can but need not include scenes of sexual intercourse and that derive most or all of their sexual arousal potential from articles (e.g. underwear, sneakers, leather or lycra clothing) or actions (e.g. wrestling, domination, humiliation, mild spanking, bondage, foot worship) that are not themselves part of the intercourse. If the play-action involves severe punishment (e.g. whipping, heavy bondage) or brutal penetration the video should go into the BDSM category.[/box] [box title=Proposal 5]Fetish - A fetish is anything that is outside the range of basic sexual activity, where sex is enhanced by words, actions, objects, body parts, bodily functions, etc. Wrestling, spanking, slapping, foot worship, leather, piss, scat, and role-playing are just a few.[/box] Grey / Older [box title=Proposal 1]Grey / Older are above the 40', rather in the 60' and plus, as typical studio gets into my mind HotOlderMale[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Grey / Older - Erotic footage of more the mature looking men. Such as polar bears, grandpa's and daddy's. Mostly known to have past the 50's and not specifically hairy. Not combined with younger guys. [/box] Group-Sex [box title=Proposal 1]Group-Sex - Sex acts involving three or more participants, such as three-ways, double-penetrations, orgies and gang-bangs.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Group-Sex - Sex of any kind with more than two people in the scene, even if some participants are just observing. Includes 3-ways as well as orgies.[/box]                                                                       Homemade [box title=Proposal 1]Homemade - contains erotic material, not produced by professional studios, with zero production value, zero scripting, and little to no editing. The performers also tend to be responsible for the operation of the camera. Also, the performers don't necessarily need to be unknown to the general public. For example, a 'sex tape' from a famous pornstar could be considered homemade.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Homemade - Created without the use of a production crew, company, financing, marketing, or with the intent of selling in the commercial marketplace.  Like Aunt Jen's crocheted Christmas Village or your fishing buddy's hand-tied trout flies, it is made, at least initially, to be used and enjoyed by it's creator(s) and immediate circle.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Homemade - Videos (of a sexual nature) made by non-professionals. The production values can be amateurish or professional, and the videos may be sold or given away for free by the producer, but the producer should not be associated with a "proper" video studio (typically, all camera and editing work for all videos will be done by the same person). The models will normally be (real) amateurs as well.[/box] Hunks [box title=Proposal 1]Hunks are the bodybuilder type with more beefy muscles than the Jocks.[/box] Interracial [box title=Proposal 1]Interracial features sexual acts between performers who are perceived as belonging to different racial groups.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Interracial includes sexual acts between men of different racial groups (such as white and black, white and Asian, or black and Asian) and group sex scenes that include more than one racial group.[/box] Jocks [box title=Proposal 1]Jocks have an athletic body type, in the 25 to 40 years old age range, means to old to fit well into Yougblood or Twinks.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Jocks features performers and themes that suggest athletics and sports.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Jocks - ball caps, tank tops, Reebocks, athletic shorts, sports uniforms and jockstraps.  Locker rooms, coach's offices, gyms and sports fields are generally the backdrop to the sexual action or at least is where the guys meet before heading elsewhere for play.  Jocks as a category may be applied to production videos as well as a sub-genre or theme of other categories (i.e. Amateur Jocks, Hispanic Jocks Bound, Beaten and Barebacked).[/box] Latino [box title=Proposal 1]Latino features performers whose ethnicity is perceived to have a degree of ancestry from the countries of South America or Spain.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Latino features performers who characteristically have a mid-tone, tan to dark skin. With Latin American or Hispanic ancestry from countries such as Brazil, Mexico, etc.[/box] Mature [box title=Proposal 1]Mature are real Men standing in life, means in the (later) 30' and 40', as typical studio gets into my mind MenOver30[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Mature features sexual acts between men who are at least 40 years of age. [/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Mature features middle aged men from 40 to 60 years old (past 60 should be considered gray & older). They are definitely NOT baby-faced and have rather tough and rugged looks.[/box] Middle Eastern [box title=Proposal 1]Middle Eastern features performers whose ethnicity is perceived to have a degree of ancestry from the countries of Northern Africa and Near East.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Middle Eastern includes works with actors whose ethnic ancestry is from Southwest Asia and North Africa, from Morocco to Iran, including countries such as Egypt and Turkey.[/box] Military [box title=Proposal 1]Military features sex acts involving performers or themes associated with the armed forces, such as soldiers, sailors, marines, uniforms, army bases, etc.[/box] Oral-Sex [box title=Proposal 1]Oral-Sex sexual activity involving the stimulation of the genitalia of a person by another person using the mouth (including the lips, tongue or teeth) or throat.[/box] Shemale [box title=Proposal 1]Shemale means Transsexuals, any male transformed to female, or any female transformed to male, you can find it all here![/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Shemale porn includes at least one actor who was born male but dresses as a woman or has had surgery to become more like a woman. Shemale actors will often have breasts implants but still have a penis. [/box] Softcore [box title=Proposal 1]Softcore contains substantial male nudity, even 'sex play, but no erections or penetration.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Softcore is opposite of hardcore. It is commercial photography or film with pornographic or erotic component, with nude or semi-nude scenes, that does not show penetration, genitalia, or actual sexual activity. [/box] Solo [box title=Proposal 1]Solo is a category of pornography featuring a single person. It usually consists of stripping or masturbation or any other sex act performed by a single person. [/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Solo - each scene features a single performer.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Solo - Clips with one performer, usually posing/modeling for the camera. Often features stripping, teasing, and masturbation.[/box] Straight older [box title=Proposal 1]Straight older features intergenerational sex acts between a mature man and a young woman, and intergenerational sex acts between a mature woman and a young man.[/box] Straight younger [box title=Proposal 1]Straight younger this is the only sex between straights, but only up to 40'. If you want old this the other category! [/box] Themed Movie [box title=Proposal 1]Themed Movie - this category includes movies and short films (aka shorts), which are part of movie databases like IMDB, or have been shown at film festivals. Does not include episodes from series or soap operas.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Themed Movie - short or long movies that have a specific subject and follow a storyline, having generally a unifying or dominant idea, motif.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]LGBTQ Themed Movies: Non-porn,  theatrical, feature-length or short films that include a significant plot line devoted to lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, or transsexual themes, characters, or both.  As stated in the current rules, openly gay actors/directors or secondary gay characters do not fulfill this requirement.  Always review the banned material list before uploading.[/box] [box title=Proposal 4]LGBTQ Themed Movies:  Non-porn,  theatrical, feature-length or short films that include a significant plot line devoted to lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, or transsexual themes, characters, or both.  As stated in the current rules, openly gay actors/directors or secondary gay characters do not fulfill this requirement.  Films that focus primarily on the male physique such as wrestling, bodybuilding, swimwear modeling, or underwear modeling may also be posted in this category.  Always review the banned material list before uploading.[/box] TV / Episodes [box title=Proposal 1]TV / Episodes - This category includes episodes from series and soap operas.[/box] Twinks [box title=Proposal 1]Twinks refers to men who fall under the appearance of barely legal 18< to late 20s. Generally of small build, boy-ish features, minimal(rare) to no body/facial hair, full of energy, and flamboyant. Refers to the "Twinkie" snack as in "golden, and full of cream".[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Twink features young (18-mid 20s), thin, boys with little or no body hair.[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Twinks: Videos (of a sexual nature) where all or most participants are smooth and youngish-looking but not particularly muscular (and, of course, of legal age).[/box] Vintage [box title=Proposal 1]Vintage should be at least pre-1990 and 'pre-condom', not to be confused with 'bareback' which despite Wikipedia is not synonymous.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Vintage - This surely comes down to the age of the person uploading/downloading/viewing. The suggestion that it be reserved for pre 1990 releases is, IMO, a bit odd. Anything much older than a decade is starting to look creaky and anything pre-2000 is now starting to look ancient. For instance, some Bel-Ami and Hungarian stuff has aged really badly. I've no idea what the age range is here, but putting the Vintage tag only on movies which are now almost 25 years old seems way off the mark, in my opinion. I'd set it at 15 years. The age of an excellent peaty whiskey. [/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Vintage Personally I'd put this at 1995 and before at the latest. I would tend towards 1990. It is not so much the condition of the movie but the date of its original release My two penn'orth Smiley[/box] Voyeur [box title=Proposal 1]Voyeur features a scene where someone is watching the sexual acts of two or more people with out directly participating.  The voyeur may be masturbating  or even directing the action of the others, but they should not directly engage in the sexual actions.[/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Voyeur is all about Hidden cams (contained peeing in the public, anonymous in spa halls, shower in the changing rooms, etc), Public actions (including fucks in the woods, jerk off in the public, etc), Selfies (real actions pre-recorded by the performers). Any type of Spying interests should be grouped in this category as well.[/box] Youngblood [box title=Proposal 1]Youngblood features sexual acts between performers who are perceived as belonging to 18-25 age bracket and emphasizing their age in title, body or acts. But not as slim as Twinks. [See also: Daddies / Son, Jocks, Twinks][/box] [box title=Proposal 2]Youngblood - Sexual performers whose body type is in between Twink (thin/smooth) and Jock (athletic/toned).[/box] [box title=Proposal 3]Youngblood - Videos (of a sexual nature) where all or most participants are smooth and youngish-looking (apparent age about 18-23; actual age over 18), with more muscular bodies than in the Twinks category but still on the slim side. [/box] The rules might be changed, depending on the participation. That already happened as close followers will have noticed. Don't worry, everyone contributing with proposals will get his reward. This shall be a pleasant exercise. It is the first trial topic on a new approach to get GayTorrent.ru's community involved in improving GayTorrent.ru. As next steps, once (at least, more are welcome) 3 proposals for a category are collected, I plan to add definitions from web resources, then make a "final" definition out of that all. In case the proposals show an important divergence, there might be opened additional specific for that category perhaps with a poll added. Nevertheless, please keep in mind that it is not a democratic but participative and consultative approach.
