 | Reading your posts in topics about site dying and watching activity of members on the site I suddenly realized that recent google steps were not a real problem. It all actually changed about 2 years ago, when the site dropped out of search top on the words "penis photos" and rose on the words "big dicks".
Since then the number of active members have never essentially risen. That number on the front page does not mean much. People register, see some pages and abandon their accounts. Most of those now 40'000 accounts are dummies anyway. The number of people who are online was never essentially rising behind that point, despite that number of registered members rose above 50K. Also, level of conversations in forum had fallen and a lot of ugly fights started in public chat so I had to close it eventually. Now I get to think about all this and it seems to me that people who were looking for "penis photos" were essentially smarter than those who came here for "big dicks". I don't know if I manage to get this site back on a track, but definitely I have made some conclusions out of that. Even promoting this site as a penis site was wrong in a first place. Regrettably no one of you so far could tell me, what is the correct description of what people who stay long find here. But I think now it's rather friends, than penises/dicks... If you can add something to my thoughts, please do. |

This is the most fascinating thing I've heard in a long time. Really! Obviously you don't just read about these things anywhere online. The connection between word choice and behavior is really interesting. You should write an article for a mainstream publication (seriously).
Also, it's surpising. I'm a native speaker and very aware of language and I would never have predicted this. I'm surprised that people search for 'penis' at all, because it's more for non-porn uses (sexual health, sex advice, anything medical, mainstream article on a celebrity whose penis is visible in a movie). Doesn't porn use 'cock' and 'dick' 98% of the time?
My only explanation is that people searching for 'penis' might be more interested in just looking and comparing and maybe discussing but not mainly for erotic purposes as such (i.e. jerking off). Is that plausible?
>>> And now to the "penis". Thinking about all that made me realize that I should have probably made not the "show you penis" site in the first place, but something more like "come here to chat with open-minded adult people about sex and everything and may be share some nude photos, find occasional hookup".
Yes, that's what I've always noticed. I always figured it was partly due to the site and partly to peoples' preferences.
For me the main obstacles to connecting with people are (1) absence of space for profile text and (2) a good location search function (search within X miles of your city or zip code). But also there seems to be a lot of members who just want to look and show off and wouldn't connect even if the site were tailored to that.
1) Please explain the difference between "penis photos" users and "big dicks" users. This is completely fascinating but I didn't catch the distinction.
2) Likewise - really interesting but please explain: "Even promoting this site as a penis site was wrong in a first place."
3) What is the problem with people who register then soon abandon their accounts? Yes of course it's 'garbage' but does it make the site worse for loyal users?
4) How are dummy accounts or accounts that "wreak havoc" bad? Do you mean fake/stolen pics? I use the site a lot and hardly ever encounter this.
As for the difference between "penis" and "dick" - there is a very strong correlation between the words people use and their intelligence and culture level. This is even more true about searches people do in search engines. I knew it long ago, but the problem is that English is not my native language. I don't feel it. In my native language I know very well that changing just one word on the page I can attract more stupid teenagers or more educated over 40 men. But I never thought about difference between dick and penis in that aspect. But looking back now I think it's really big. Members who came here before site dropped on "penis" and "rose" on "dick" seems noticeably more intelligent - more polite, more thoughtful, etc. This is an average estimation, indeed. I don't want to say that absolutely everyone who came after was stupid. It's just that average level of newcomers was lower. And it's only my impression, I did not measure it in any exact way.
And now to the "penis". Thinking about all that made me realize that I should have probably made not the "show you penis" site in the first place, but something more like "come here to chat with open-minded adult people about sex and everything and may be share some nude photos, find occasional hookup". If I only could narrow down all that to some short and simple idea...
Please don't attack me for this statement
The People who stay here longer are kind People, not ugly perverts. I like them! We are very polite in our Chats.
But the problem is - I don't understand who are those correct members exactly and how to bring them to the site.
I think that having cam chat is the way things are going now. I don't know whether that would be good or bad for this site but it could be an option. All I know, is that of everything you look at on the net, when you come here, you feel at home. Maybe more pervs will find their way home eventually, but until then, this is as much family as it can be for many of us, and it's perfect just the way it is.
People that come here for large cocks run because most of us are average. I come here for hooking up, meeting people, and sharing conversation, though one can get roughed up for starting a thread that isn't sex related.
