• SLR

  • Multiuser features are coming to SLR

doublevr at least 30% of SLR users are female and that number is growing over time

I really, REALLY doubt that. Maybe it was a typo and you meant 3%... šŸ˜‰

    doublevr

    I'm curious, how do you even measure number of female users? As far as I can tell there is nothing in my SLR profile or anything that indicates male or female. I never told SLR if I was male or female.

    Just curious, that is an interesting stat if true.

        Mutiny I think Kinsey had a bit of an agenda and his data isn't exactly the best. I DO agree with his conclusions/suggestions that people experiment and that such experimenting doesn't define into a "sexuality" or sexual label, but to pretend that he did some sort of random sample with solid methods... well I'd disagree, but that's just my take.

          This is NOT specific to SLR but a general answer for how most websites track your usage.

          Browser stats are a powerful thing just about every website or web app you go to has some form of metrics enabled that allow them to gauge specific information about the users visiting a site. This can be things like total time spent on a site, click paths, conversions, unique users, button clicks, or feature usage. This is how a product team can tell if an new feature is being adopted, or if the average user only rewatched a video x number of times, or the average length of time a video is viewed before moving to the next one.

          With these metrics if demographics is enabled then you can pair the above stats with things like location, age, gender, etc. (if you donā€™t think Amazon knows your porn preferences think again).

          The demographic information is gathered from multiple sources. This could be 3rd party double click cookies, android advertising id, iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA, just to name a few, but If you go to a site and login with a 3rd party auth like Amazon, apple, Facebook or google, thatā€™s an easy way to get all info from your profile data thatā€™s passed.

          This is also the reason you see the ā€œā€acceptā€ or ā€œdeclineā€ cookies on almost every site you go to now. The EU has GDPR rules in place that can heavily fine companies for tracking usersā€™ PII (personally identifiable information) without their consent.

          Hope this answers your question.

          Mutiny And I'd go so far as to say no one who complains about fat guys showing up in their porn is truly "straight", which appears to be (checks notes) a whole lot of people on here.

          thats a controversial one šŸ˜

          porn is a form of art and having actors with a good (or at least unobjectionable) body... whether thats male or female... takes it to another level compared to having actors that are fat slobs. like, when was the last time you saw an obese male or female swimsuit model? probably never. there is a reason behind that and that same reason applies to porn. its just seen as less perfect and less appealing generally.

          i disagree that it makes someone partly gay (ie anywhere to the right of straight on the scale in your earlier post) to prefer a male actor with a decent body in porn. firstly.. there is no rule that says finding something more attractive means that you are sexually interested in it. example.. my car looks sexy af but i dont want to bone it. secondly... its not all about attraction either. it could be that someones repulsion for fat male actors in porn makes them less appealing.

              Mutiny I don't discriminate fat guys. I don't want any guys in my VR videos.

              As far as experiments go, the most I could imagine is something with an extremely feminine trans woman. By this I don't mean men who decided at some point in their 20-50s that they feel like a woman, who still have very masculine facial features, but ones that are really so feminine that, except for the penis, you have the feeling that you're looking at a woman. No idea where that would put me on the scale. Probably pretty far to the left.

                doublevr How does Google know who uses the computer while visiting SLR? A lot of couples share a computer, so Google doesn't know which user is visiting SLR. Maybe the woman does a lot of shopping on that system and Google rates the whole system as female user for that reason.

                    someoneX google is just one of many systems that track user metrics, and is nowhere near the best.

                    If you want to know how it tracks demographics here is a link. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2799357?hl=en#zippy=%2Cin-this-article

                    FWIW if you look at porn stats online itā€™s well documented across various sites that 25-30% of users are women, which puts SLR in the broader metric range.

                        Sperson The link doesn't explain how they will track different genders on a shared computer.

                            Thanks for the explanation, that does make sense. I'm probly the odd one out in that I use a separate dedicated browser for porn (Opera) in which I've never logged into any google, amazon, facebook, twitter, etc service. Just my porn subscriptions and a couple of porn forums. It's not that I really care about the tracking, its just I find it nice to be able to have open tabs and bookmarks organized for my porn without cluttering up my other browsers I where I work and play.

                            That said, re the topic at hand, I don't think I would ever want to watch porn with other people unless it was like a significant other. Honestly, it sound like a virtual circle jerk, not my kind of thing, but that's cool if other people are into that. I like to feel like I am the only person in the world watching a video, like that video was for me and it is just me and the girl, it's our little secret.

                            doublevr I don't think google analytics gives you a proper picture of your actual customers. If you really think that a porn site that is made almost exclusively made for males was visited by about 30% females is imho pretty baffling. Common sense alone should let you question your numbers, dude...

                              someoneX Iā€™m not going to pretend to sound like I know how it all works. I have a data science team that manages my tracking and builds me nice dashboards with all my user data.

                              There is a ton of information out there that you can google on how google analytics, and other tracking software tracks you through your clientID in the tracking cookie. If itā€™s smart enough to know who you are coming through multiple different devices, then itā€™s probably smart enough to tell when two different people are using the same device. It is google after all.

                              These cookies are powerful though. There are companies using the IDFA cookie info to build user profiles and selling this data to police departments in the US because it can basically ID a person and give you a high probability of where they will be based on past habits.
