I was reminded of this when I was reviewing the Animan videos I uploaded. Three of them had a logo fly across the screen in the middle of the video. Pretty annoying.

Thanks for the info, and for the rest of the edifying and entertaining conversation.

I think I know that ridiculous intro from Gay-Top.Net. It's greenish and black glossy and makes you feel like you're in some sci-fi movie like Terminator 2: Judgement Day? Whoever came up with that decision is just terrible. That music intro has NOTHING to do with porn, lol!

Yo, soy Diseñador gráfico y una marca de agua es un logo y por eso es como el D.N.I de cualquier empresa , es con lo que lo identifica. en el porno gay eso al principio no tenía tanta importancia como ahora que le dan mucha importancia a la identidad visual

Lo sé, querida. Solo estaba tratando de simplificarlo en mis propias palabras de cómo lo describiría a aquellos que no están familiarizados con el término. ¡Jajajaja!

Personally, I'm most annoyed at the ridiculous intros that some of those idiots preface their rips with, most notably the one that starts with the massively loud musical chord, repeated multiple times. Thankfully, those intros can be stripped off pretty easily, unlike the embedded watermarks.

Most of the stuff I have was ripped several years ago so, thankfully, missing both the watermarks and the intrusive intros.

Oh yes ... the back room of the adult bookstore. That brings back memories. I definitely would not have wanted to be on the cleaning staff.

I design logos, so dissing on watermarks is somewhat contradictory to what I do. BUT, when they're all over the chalkboard when watching adult films is so completely unnecessary. When I upload, I want peeps on here to get the good stuff, lol!

I used to work at an adult novelty store back in the day. I didn't really care what the customers were buying or renting out movies. Come to think of it, there were several private video rooms too, so customers would need their quarters. And I remember an undocumented older Latina who would get paid in cash for her cleaning services. I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't happy, but being undocumented, it's all about survival, so she cleaned those rooms and didn't say one word. I did like the sexy businessmen who would always come in, but I could never compete as they loved their she-males. That job was very short-lived, but I did like it because I never really had to deal with the public, unlike regular retail or restaurant work where customer service is completely different. The patrons at the adult novelty stores come in and mind their own business and that's it, lol!

When I moved to a larger city, it was easier. And now, of course, porn is everywhere.

Our local video rental store used to stock porn videos, with a small percentage of those bi and gay titles. Renting one of those videos was a bit embarrassing, since you were always wondering what the clerk was thinking, but I still remember watching "Chip Off the Old Block," "Brian's Boys, "Rodeo," and a few others back in the day.

Then I moved to a larger city, porn on VHS really took off, and a visit to an x-rated bookstore offered much more variety than those few lonely videos that I had been accustomed to. Nothing at all compared to the quantity and variety that are regularly available today, of course.

I can't help you with Skynmen, as I never collected those. I do have 104 of the Treasure Island Media videos. I'm not sure what you mean by watermarks, as I don't think I've ever seen any.

I'm trying to think of porn that I need. I know I would like to complete my SkynMen video library. I'd like more Treasure Island without the gazillion watermarks all over the place. But, welcome to the site!
