wow, Stanley, that post just oozes with puns. well done! Oct 06 12 08:09 pm Link Maybe we should have a system whereby the pics of the previous day's contest go into some kind of critique pool, so that we we can say why, or why not, we voted for a particular image. I suppose critiques of pics submitted by models would have to be limited to critiques of the model, but I'm not sure if any restrictions would be needed for pics submitted by photographers.

Oct 07 12 04:34 am Link I think that would be further deterrent to people entering - some are more thin skinned than others. However some of us would welcome constructive criticism. Oct 07 12 05:04 am Link I might bump this when the Americans are awake. Oct 07 12 05:11 am Link Some of us are awake. Had a long shoot yesterday adn a short one today with an out of town model who is nicely endowed so I got more meat for the grist mill to mix metaphors. The idea of a critique would be nice. I like it. But I have been paying a bit more attention to the entrants and winners in the contest. I am beginning to think we are chasing a chimera. Look at the winners page for the last 10 days. Out of 10 only 2 qualify as "sausage" shots. And 4 show nothing at all. The ohter 4 are normal size. It means that 80% show normal penis or none at all. Hardly a cause for concern. The previous 10 days show. 1 with no dick showing. 3 "sausages" And 6 average size. IOW 70% are normal to none. Folks, that's a hardly a problem. Sure big penises win maybe 20-30% of the time which some may deem unacceptable but to me it is normal variation. And just at a glance with no critique the winners seem mostly good quality imiages both technically and aesthetically. Some are very good indeed. No need to tweak the contest IMHO. Oct 07 12 07:28 am Link I am sure your stats are correct Stanley and that does support the view that it is not always a large endowment that wins the day. However when you go to vote each day you are presented with a display that wouldn't be out of place in a butcher's window. Even for me, as a gay man, I have to be sure my breakfast is fully digested. In terms of widening the appeal of the contest(s), I wonder if more people would participate and vote if it were a bit more vegetarian. My feeling also is that on days when there is not a really good quality meat free image, the sausages do rise to the top of the pot. Oct 07 12 09:35 am Link You must have a sensitive stomach. If the pic is just a skinny young man with a big meat and nothing else to offer, just a frontal with no composition or decency I jsut pass over it and vote for something else. I do agree that big dicks get votse but winners are not always teh biggest or most prominent. For myself I think a penis is not particularly and interesting thing to look at. Everyone's is pretty much the same and it's not really pretty. Oct 07 12 04:58 pm Link Actually, none of the first three from the contest today (7th.) had any sausage on show. Must be a sign of maturity among the voters.

Oct 09 12 03:58 am Link Mark Leighton wrote: Yeah, right. Oct 09 12 05:05 am Link I know people are always whining about the Female18+ contest winners are always spreads and crotch shots. This is often true, but I'm wondering if there isn't some kind of slant agains beautiful butts! I've lately become kind of an assman (thanks, Kramer), and I've noticed how seldom there are photos entered that highlight women's glorious glutes! As a matter of fact, although there are hundreds of shots of spreads and big boobs, in the last four days of entries that I looked through, there is not one really good shot of a bum!* What's up with that? Why such a dearth of good ass shots? *Does not apply to the male contests. There are asses galore in those entries! Oct 15 12 07:46 pm Link Hi, I keep entering photos into the Male 18+ Contest and they keep not showing up on the vote page? Why are they being rejected (They haven't been used in the past 15 days) -Gary Oct 17 12 01:27 am Link JoJo, can you check an entry for me in the female 18+ contest? I entered it October 14th and it's never shown up. It's the only thing I've entered in the last few weeks so should be easy to see which one I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.

Also from what I've seen unless sometimes they are voting for smallest 'schlong' there are exceptions to your perception.

I didn't know you were submitting it too Lol Oct 20 12 06:12 am Link I uploaded a pic last night and then tried to run it through the 15-day checker. The pic was there but there was no thumbnail - just a red x in a box. Does that mean the same thing will happen in the contest? Hard to get any votes without a visible thumbnail.

Oct 24 12 12:08 am Link I am having a similar problem. I submit my photos, fill in my info, and it all jives with the rules. So why do I never see my own thumbnail or how many votes I get? Are we not allowed to see our own, or is mine not getting up for some reason?? Confused - help please!
