If you are looking for free porn I suggest this free porn index.
The web site is clean and scam free. There are a wide variety of sites to choose from. These are the types of sites that you have to use an email to sign up with. The reason that they are free is that they are going to try to sell you something at some point or another. However you DO NOT have to buy anything at all. Just sign up and enjoy.
If you are worried about spam you can always create a new email address with Yahoo for free and never worry about it.
When you sign up they will send a validation email to that email address that you use. Once you reply to it you are set!
Enjoy.

This is an piece I wrote a while back, but it is still important. The bottom line is the same, if you are hosting hardcore (and some softcore that falls under 2257 laws) make sure you are legaly protecting yourself.
== Original Article ==
(I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice)
(i.e. don’t sue me please)
Along with waging other unfortunate wars, the Bush administration is looking to launch their preemptive strike on the world of porn (online and off). This war on porn falls conveniently and mostly under the easy to swallow guise of, “For the Children!”
This issue and this attack are a little different though. Its not (just) about the children anymore. John Ashcroft says things like “[I am] concerned about obscenity and… concerned about obscenity as it relates to our children,” Backed by the religious right, look for the war on porn in a candy coated shell that makes it easy to battle any dissenter. Remember this is the man who had the “Spirit of Justice” statue curtained because it had a bare breast.
So in battle you need weapons right? Well look to see some heat seeking 2257 lawyers at a porn site near you. Specifically what I am addressing here is the 2257 regulation. What is 2257? This “federal regulation” (I think that means law to us normal people) is about to be modified if Ashcroft has his way. And what we should be concerned with has to do with the misuse and abuse of the law that was designed to protect children. In the modern courtroom there is no “spirit of the law” as far as I can see. You use whatever you can to get what you want.
But again, what is 2257? 2257 sounds great on paper - basically 2257 requires porn producers to keep records proving that their models are of proper age. Sounds great right? I agree that it is an appropriate standard for the industry to protect kids. How this law can be misused is a little frightening though.
If you do not comply with 2257 regulation, you get your free 5 year tour of federal pound me in the ass jail. Now I didn’t say, you get 5 years for underage porn. No, I mean you go to jail for 5 years for not having the right records kept in the correct way.
Here’s a helpful example. Say your model is 75 years old. If you do not have the proper records for proving that (s)he is 18+, you can go to jail… and again I’ll repeat for effect, 5 years. She will be 80 by the time you get out and you are right out of the hot 70s porn segment.
Or lets say you do have the correct records, but they are not kept at your place of business… 5 years. This is a record keeping law. 2257 has nothing to do with any sort of moral right and wrong.
That’s the way the law is now, but there’s more coming soon. Ashcroft has officially proposed that the regulation be changed. You know one of those helpful “clarifications”. He wants 2257 to include not just the producers of the material, but also “secondary producers” to keep records.
It will come as no great shock to learn that most adult webmasters, as well as experienced lawyers are a bit confused as to what exactly this “clarification” is all about. Here are a few threads on the subject:
18 USC 2257 Compliance
New rules on 2257
What it seems to boil down to is that no longer do only the producers of the materials have to keep records, but anyone who handles it. This may not seem like a big deal, but it has some serious conflict with the way the world of porn on the internet works.
Most of the porn you see out there is being shown by affiliate marketers or people who run link lists to porn - not the original producers. With this change those people would have to get and keep meticulous records from every producer’s material they deal with. Consider that almost every porn promoter out there has material from 100s if not thousands of different sources, and you have a mess.
Handy tool if you want to shut down an industry. Create serious penalties for doing business wrong, and then make doing business extremely difficult (if not impossible for some sites).
There is no doubt that there is unacceptable porn out there. The idea of child abuse in all its forms sickens me. What I also can’t abide is a government with its own (moral and otherwise) agenda.
Get off your lazy asses and vote this time.
Here are a few links on the subject:
YNOT: With 32 prosecutors, a team of FBI agents and many investigators combing the Internet for pornography, many cases are expected to be filed in the near future. The government has warned that no material is off limits, including softcore television programs like HBO’s show Real Sex or adult movies offered in hotel rooms, notwithstanding its wide acceptance.
XBiz: The harsh fact of the matter is that I doubt that even 1% of adult sites (including free, AVS and pay sites) are in compliance with the law
Bush or Bush: George W. Bush is sending out signals that battling pornography will be a key objective of his administration.

General: What every porn site needs to make money is traffic. What’s traffic? That is your public, the surfers. The more eyeballs looking at the site the better the chances of making some money off of a pair of them. A variety of traffic brokers can offer you just that.
What: Certain companies specialize in getting traffic to your site. This can work in several different ways. Traffic can be delivered through Pay Per Click (PPC), banners, text links, blind clicks, 404, expired domain, exit etc.
- PPC - This is typically done through search engines. Google, Overture, 7Search etc offer Pay Per Click traffic. Generally you pick keywords that you want your site to show up for and set a price you are willing to pay for them. Pricing is competitive. Paying more compared to other advertisers will yield a better placement on the search results page. This traffic type is considered to be the best overall. Prices run from $.01 - $.50 for a click. Just guessing but I imagine most people promoting porn spend around $.03-.15 a click. More for physical products (DVDs, toys etc.
- Bulk Traffic - Can be delivered in many ways; clicked, blind clicked, exit, 404, redirected expired domain etc. Depending on how the traffic was generated determines the quality. Typically you pay $X for Y clicks. Prices vary from pennies to $25 per thousand hits.
- Standard Advertisement - This may be a text link, banner or promotional plug for your site. Typically you pay $X for your ad to run for Y time. Prices vary all over the map.
Why: Generally speaking, the principle of “if you throw enough mud something will stick” applies here. The more traffic the better. But how do you get traffic to come to your site? Although there are a variety of methods to do this, the most direct is to simply pay for it. Its extremely well controlled in terms of knowing how many people will be coming and when. All other methods have a certain element of chance and unknown in them, but buying traffic is very easy to understand and plan around.
If you know that historically x% of people who come to your site will sign up to pay for something, they you can pretty easily determine how many people you need to make a profit. You work the formula and see what you can afford to pay. The fly in this ointment, is traffic quality. Once you understand what certain types of traffic will bear, you can tune your sites and purchased traffic to make financial sense.
I’ll follow up on this article to talk about specific traffic brokerage services.

General: Link list are similar to TGPs except they have collections of links to mini-sites rather than single gallery pages. They more or less work the same way as TGPs in other respects (the good and the bad). They tend to be of higher quality than TGPs though.
What: This type of site is usually a big lists of links to free mini-sites. More often than not they are categorized. Some are rather confusing and have a certain amount of indirection designed to lead the surfer to pay for something. They produce less traffic for the porn promoter, but generally its better quality traffic since the surfer has had to choose what they wanted to see by category. Surfers tend to like them more since the galleries they end up at have more content.
Why: Same as the TGPs. Link lists sell advertisement spots, as well as promote sponsors and other pay porn sites through banners. They draw massive traffic from surfers looking for free porn. They are useful for the porn promoter who submits their site to the link list for the traffic.

As a porn surfer you will be exposing your computer to the worst of the worst. Websites that try to download a variety of horrible stuff onto your computer; chained popups that can potentially make your computer stop responding etc. As a webmaster you will be doing the same. You’ll need to check out other websites as research if not simply for other needs.
There are a few tools you can use to protect yourself - and they are all free!
1) Decent Web Browser. My personal choice is Firefox. Built in pop-up protection, extensions, greater resistance to spyware / malware.
2) Virus Scanner - I use and like AVG. It is free and so far its been perfect for me.
3) Firewall - Stop people from connecting to your computer remotely. Also stops programs that you do not want from connecting to the outside world. Very useful even if you use the built in Windows firewall. I use and recommend Kerio.
4) Spyware Scanner - 2 recommendations here, Spybot Search and Destroy will both scan for and remove spyware, but it also immunizes your computer for known spyware and common exploits. Adaware is also a very good scanner. Use both for best effect.
*** Important - Do not just download this software from anywhere. The links I provide here are safe, but if you would like to locate this software yourself, make sure of the source you are getting it from. Some dishonest people are taking the existing software and modifying it for their benefits and your loss, and making it available for download.
Try download.com (run by C-Net) or go to the products homepage for your software to be safe!

What are TGPs?
TGPs (Thumbnail Gallery Posts) also including MGPs (Movie Gallery Posts) are a type of portal to single or multi-page porn galleries. They generally have chronological listings of porn galleries linked either through a text description (e.g. The Hun) or by thumbnail (e.g. Mad Thumbs). Most TGPs update daily. Listings can be purely chronological or first grouped into categories.
The average TGP has links to hundreds (if not thousands) of porn gallery pages. On a TGP linked gallery you will typically see 10-20 clickable thumbnailed pictures or a few video stills (in the case of a MGP). The page will also contain banner ad(s) and advertising text that click through to a paysite (or a hub occasionally).
There are 2, well no 3, well maybe 2 1/2 different types of TGPs.
Real TGPs
This is just what I have been describing above. The linked porn galleries come from other webmasters who submit their sites to the TGP. Once the TGP owner approve the gallery, it gets listed on the site.
Fake TGPs
Again these TGPs can look just like a real TGP, except all of the galleries listed are posted by the TGP owner. Basically this is a private TGP system that does not allow outside webmasters to submit their galleries.
Semi-Fake TGPs
A variation on the fake TGP. A semi-fake TGP is basically a fake TGP except the TGP owner may allow a few friends to submit their galleries.
How do TGPs make money?
Paid Gallery Submission
Some TGPs require submitting webmasters to pay a fee to be allowed to submit at all. Other TGPs allow webmasters to pay for better spots for their galleries links. (A link placed at the top of a TGPs page will get a lot more clicks than at the bottom.)
Paysite Advertising
TGPs owners advertise paysites on their pages. The TGP owner gets paid a commission if a surfer clicks through and signs up.
Owner Submitted Galleries
The TGP owner may submit (especially in the case of the fake TGP where all the galleries belong to the owner) their own galleries to the TGP. Again if a surfer clicks through on the advertisement on the gallery page, and signs up for the paysite, the gallery owner gets a commission.
Traffic Brokering
TGPs owners can sell traffic to other websites. The TGP owner can use software to control where you go whenever you click on a link. You may be clicking on a link called, “Busty chick spreads wide for you” and end up at a completely different website. Not all TGPs do this, and not all of them that do, do it irresponsibly, but some really jerk the surfer around.
Paid Advertising
The TGP owner may sell space to advertise on.
Webmaster Referrals
The TGP owner may offer a webmaster’s area that encourages other webmasters to sign up with the owners sponsor(s). This can lead to a commission for the owner.
So what wrong with TGPs
TGPs are extremely popular. Many TGPs command insane amount of daily traffic. For example, Free6 has about 38000 unique visitors an hour (see stats here). Yes, 38,000 unique people an hour in this example. Some get more.
TGP owners want to make as much money as they can (its business after all - big business at that). To do this they really don’t want you to see some free porn, so much as to do something to make them money. How can they make money off of you? Well look at the list above. Which of those methods have you surfing to a happy porn land where you will end up satisfied?
Go take a look at the average TGP, is it easy to find what you want? No.
It is designed to leave you unsatisfied. They are designed to get you excited and then leave with you no choice but to pay to get what you (at that point) need. Its called impulse buying.
Secondly, there are a lot of dishonest TGPs out there. They contain galleries that try to download spyware, virus, dialers and other things you really do not want on your computer. They also skim traffic / blind link so you never know really where you are going to end up.
This being said, not all TGPs are bad. There are a handful of them that have been around for a long time, and have learned that treating their surfers well is better for their business model.
Tips for the Surfer
1) Make sure you computer is safe from virus and spyware. Get Firefox. Adaware. Spybot Search and Destroy.
2) Stick to the quality TGPs. I’ll post a list soon.
3) If you click on a link to a gallery and end up at a different website having nothing to do with what you just clicked on. Leave both sites behind. They are crap. You are being traded the same as currency.
4) Popups on the galleries? Forget it.
Tips for the Webmaster
1) If you are a new porn webmaster, forget running a TGP. It will take a massive amount of time and not work unless you get really lucky.
2) If you are submitting galleries, read up on how to do this well.
3) Follow the rules of other peoples TGPs.
4) Experiment with different gallery designs to see what works.
5) Write good advertising text. Banners are fairly useless.
