| Pros: |
+Access to the StaXXX network
+1080p to 480p range of resolutions available for every video
+Somewhat okay interracial pornography
+Cool abundance of images, looking surprisingly sharp (avg. 300 per shoot)
+Favourite videos and access your own library
+Tags are consistent with the content on display
+Sometimes there’s two separate scenes with the same performers, a nice touch
+Site interface is nice to navigate around
+Find out about upcoming scenes |
| Cons: |
-Content is not exclusive
-Suspected content rotation with no dates available and there’s only 42 videos
-Scenes have amateur production value, they look like older videos that have been upscaled
-Some scenes have poor audio balancing
-Upon loading videos, it is unclear which sites videos are from, not marked as “Black Please” etc so had to use another way
-Pagination is poor, sometimes the page selector doesn’t respond and requires refreshing – have to start from page 1 every time
-Rubbish downloading speeds, it caps at a third of my full maximum speed
-Can’t use more than one tag concurrently
-Cancelling is awkward, requires you to visit the biller’s site to send an email ticket
-No TBP Discount |

Disclaimer: please note that by "interracial" I am referring to black men and not black women, these are industry standard terms not my own.
Black Please is among the StaXXX network and due to its focus on the interracial niche I had to give it a peek.
I am confused. I do not think the content is exclusive. I think they re-release material from several years ago in higher definition (site launched in 2016). Perhaps some new clips thrown in the mix every now and then. It certainly shows when watching the videos, there is an amateurish quality to them that is not reflective of the standards we had in 2016. By no means are they unbearable, but they certainly aren’t good either and it tars the experience. The majority of the content appears to be poor upscaling to 1080p to me but I could be wrong.
The videography is a basic gonzo presentation that favour excitement. Storylines are nigh-on non-existent which is to be expected. There are good scenes here but nothing really to write home about as many are run of the mill. Sound has unprofessional qualities to it or at the very least outdated. Some clips feature audio that hasn’t been compressed correctly so some moans and screams pierce the ears. This isn’t done in an intentional manner as I would be able to tell if it was. Production value is not up to scratch either then.
Site interface is poor. Clicking on scenes do not have any labels or tags entailing it to be from Black Please amid the other sites on the network; the only way to find out is by clicking on the video and reading “Related Videos” below and seeing the site names there. Gets real confusing when I use the “interracial tag” to be returned results from other sites. None of the clips are dated on the site either, so there’s no way to identify their update schedule. Now unlike the sound issue this is clearly intentional as they do not want us to be aware. Carpeting over such information is an alarming indicator of a site that is sketchy. The site also times out surprisingly fast and because they use a pagination system that’s on a single URL, you will be slammed right back on the first page after refreshing. Annoying when you’re browsing but with a bite-sized collection of just 42 videos there aren’t many pages to sift through anyway. Navigation is nice and simple aside from that. Model profiles aren’t here either, no information about them at all.
A few negatives so far, anything to rave about? Well the images look nice and sharp. Even if they have been touched up perhaps too much, most of the videos have hundreds of images with good helpings of solo and action - this is always a good thing in my books. The talent pool here is also obscure with many models I’ve never seen or heard of before, this is also good considering the nature of the site. I don’t think it’s trying to be big budget. The other good thing is that there are a few double clips featuring the same pair of models (male and female). They are not merely one scene split into two because they finish with different cumshots despite wearing the same clothing. This is something I wish more sites did, featuring the same pair across more than one scene definitely adds to the fantasy. However I understand this isn’t very convenient nor viable in terms of demand and more of a matter of personal taste. Alas, credit is where credit’s due and it’s nice. Tagging system aside from the non-existent site labelling is mostly good as well, but using multiple tags isn’t possible. That’s it when it comes to positives.
Images aren’t released alongside videos at the same time vice versa. I couldn’t access the supplementary image set on a recently released video, only to see the photo set labelled with an upcoming date marked on the thumbnail. I also accessed a photo set but couldn’t access the video, you get the picture. My suspicion is that most of the content here was produced years ago and are being cleaned up, upscaled, shelled out and then advertised as new product and/or rotated. On their tour page it says nothing about remastering old content so this is disappointing. They also advertise content on there to only after having joined see that their upcoming releases. What’s the point? Download speeds are also consistently well below normal – they’re capped. Cancelling also required messaging the biller via an external site through tickets.
Unless you want what I believe to be a half-baked attempt at remastering old interracial clips that aren’t even exclusive and rotates content as if they’re new, I would give this site a hard miss. Not many redeemable qualities here, especially if they’re not going to divulge their release dates. I have no intention of returning. Not because I hate it but because I don’t care for it. Black Please is a forgettable, mere blip. Getting access to the rest of the StaXXX network made this subscription barely worth it. |

Thanks, yeah I felt the difference in style needs to be highlighted because they generate very different experiences. It's good to see they're holding on tightly to their moniker in that sense.

No problem and thank you for reading. In regards to your billing, that is very unfortunate - getting random annual charges is very alarming. Hopefully it doesn't happen to you again. I've never signed up to any of these sites until the beginning of this year, probably why I didn't know they were a new biller. I've had no issues with VXNBILL thus far though thankfully. Thank you for raising this issue and I will certainly keep a closer eye on these charges now.

Disclaimer: please note that by "interracial" I am referring to black men and not black women, these are industry standard terms not my own.
From the creators of Blacked.com emerged Blacked Raw. This is their follow up site that arrived a couple of years ago and opts for a different focus as suggested by its title. If you came in thinking they are a Blacked.com copy pasta, you – thankfully – thought wrong. The very rich and airy videography doesn’t follow suit here, instead there’s thrilling action with far more intensity and bite to it. Obviously the ultra-sharp video quality still carries over as you would expect under Lansky’s umbrella, with all clips supporting up to 4K but the film style is pretty different. When it comes to the best shoots they’re incredibly intoxicating, enough to send you over the edge and beyond. You can tell that the talent and production really put their backs into this because damn does it show. It’s professionally brash in the best way.
Talent pool here is very similar so there will be plenty of familiar faces, though repeat performers seem to be a bit sparser. Lansky’s vision continues around there parts as well so no heavy makeup or eyeshadows. Cumshots are indeed usually between the classic facial and creampie.
My issues are not all too dissimilar from Blacked.com. A la repetitive cheating storylines, taking the clothes off too early (though definitely not to the same extent thank goodness) and of course the calamitous search engine where there is no advanced searching available. There is nothing all that different here. The site interface is just a dark rendition, the same easy navigation carries over. Of course the new favourite function has been made readily available here as well. The quantity of images however differ far more here, some scenes pack over a hundred while others a little over a dozen. Weird to say the least, but this isn’t as frequent on recent updates.
On videography, the capture is moving more and engaging the viewer with great spontaneity. You’ll find angles you won’t find on the other site which of course is a great plus, but there also seems to be an increased tendency to miss more convenient, standard positions. This is purely down to the nature of this filming and should be expected. In any case the sex is more steamy and wild. Both the men and women are really into it, nothing masochistic if you’re worried about that. There is some portrait footage too, with some selfie captures that evoke more reality. Additionally, I found that sound plays much more of a key role here as it amplifies everything by a ton. The slapping noises between bodies seem to have a lot more body – excuse the pun – and fullness. Absolutely great stuff, another strength that is worthy of high praise.
One element I haven’t covered yet is the lighting. Grandiosity is not the intention here so of course it’s nothing like Blacked.com. The contrast is much greater, with a lot of brightness shone on the models whereas the background is quite unlit. I think there is more saturation going on too. I suppose this is the image they’re shooting for with the “Raw” moniker after all and I certainly like it, the vast majority of it anyway. Occasionally it contrasts too much and diminishes the experience somewhat. Too dark and too bright essentially and it’s notably apparent on images. The first few scenes had poor lighting, felt like I was watching it through a blurry keyhole but they’ve made large strides since so there won’t be any of that anymore. Good.
The last thing I want to touch on are the images. The first – or last - few images are usually selfies taken by females with males. They are not high definition with a grainy quality so they’re mimicking real scenarios which is great. However, they’ve taken steps to insert small watermarks centrally. There are two sides to this: the first is that it disrupts the fantasy, even if they are small they are hard to ignore. On the flip side they kind of have to do this. The quality isn't distinct like their other images so these precautions I think are necessary to combat idiots passing these pictures off for different purposes. Google Dani Daniels’ if you want an example. Some is better than none I suppose.
All in all Blacked Raw produce super interracial with a visceral kick to it. They are firing at all cylinders here with what they have so far. If you have already have a membership with Blacked.com, you will regularly be met with discounts for Blacked Raw with a horizontal bar near the top of their main page. This option makes things easier if you’re interested in both as there are no bonus sites here. Wait for a $10 flash sale if that’s a deal breaker for you. Very easy recommendation for interracial lovers and certainly recommended for everyone else. Lansky’s genius continues, these guys rule and show no signs of slowing down. |

This is it. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone into porn who hasn’t heard of prestigious, interracial powerhouse Blacked.com. This one transcends beyond the bubble of pornography and for good reason. Teeming with top tier production value and jaw-dropping talent, it’s no surprise to see Lansky establish a large fan base and break into the world of memes and pop culture. For me, that is a testament to how successful they’ve been ever since their conception.
If it wasn’t obvious, I love this site. Hung black men, devastatingly beautiful women sandwiched with razor sharp videography. 4K is more of a normality here, dating back to 2016 so there’s plenty to go around. When it comes to the ladies, Lanksy’s motto seems to be less on eye shadow, nail polish and tattoos. This is a feat I wish more sites shared – though I do like tattoos as long as they’re tasteful and there’s a few models here that have them. When it comes to cumshots, they’re usually a toss-up between a lush facial or a delicious creampie – a great finality either way. Year in, year out the production value escalates to new levels and so does the experience. The best shoots deliver eye candy akin to honey rippling in paradise. A sense of sweet satisfaction like no other. Seriously, I get chills. Tori Black’s “The Big Fight” springs to mind.
Now come the criticisms. In recent years, branding soared to new levels particularly on images. While I appreciate their motives, it can leave a bitter taste when I see enormous “Blacked.com” watermarks plastered on the starting solo images. They vanish once the scene begins, resuming to normal watermarks. Regardless, they weren’t sexy or cool. It’s good to see they have clamped down on this practice looking at the newest material, at least to some extent. However, solo images during scenes have taken a clear dip in quantity compared to previous years which I do not appreciate.
When it comes to plot, I love some good cheating stories, but even I think they play it safe by using this narrative many times over. They aren’t the most scintillating per se. More creative and risky approaches would raise the bar but they seem happy to stay put. The settings are also quite predictable but to their credit they are venturing elsewhere more often nowadays.
Cue the moment to go back on the models’ presentation (slightly). On recent material, the ladies are stark naked throughout the sex and as early as the blowjob all too often. A dash of lingerie, stockings or cute little dresses always spiced things up before but that doesn’t seem to be in their interest nowadays – perhaps a section of their fan base are against it. In fact, I’m sure it is. They often take everything off too early for my taste. I prefer more build up personally or heck some shoots for them not to be stark naked for such a long duration. Ashley Lane’s “Schedule Opened Up” dropped late last year on Blacked Raw and is a good example of a brilliant shoot sweetened with amazing lingerie and stockings to match throughout. Again, this is a matter of taste. I would like the variety back is all.
My final issue concerns the search engine. For such an established site, it’s comical how dreadful their search engine is. There is no advanced search available, the model index has a few bog standard filters, so often I found myself sifting through pages (max 5 at a time) or skipping to the last. They’ve had long enough to improve on this as well. No excuses. While they’ve finally introduced favourites, a fantastic and much needed addition to build collections, they’re the tip of the iceberg on what else they can improve. More info on model profiles also wouldn’t go amiss either. Otherwise the site looks very crisp, sharp, simple and easy to navigate around. The browsing experience is surprisingly subtle in difference versus without a membership. Other than the full streaming and downloading, it very much feels the same. You definitely know what you’re getting and I like that.
To conclude, when all is said and done these issues – sans the search engine - are just mild bumps on an otherwise luxurious ribbon of road. Big names come with big expectations and highly coveted Blacked.com for me are unequivocally, the crème de la crème of interracial pornography. If you like interracial, this place is a no-brainer and even if you aren’t I still highly recommend it. I adore Blacked.com. However, it isn’t perfect. While there are things they’ve improved on, there are also things they were better at before. With a bit more polish, their potential is nigh-on limitless. Offering an all access package along the other sites would itch a scratch that would never need itching again. |

Very good review. I've read from somewhere that they cited production costs the reason behind not offering all-access packages, which may explain their discount offers after joining a site as some sort of weaker alternative. I think the least they could do is offer a paired package i.e Blacked.com + Blacked Raw or Tushy.com + Tushy Raw sometime even if it will cost more but that remains to be seen.

This is a hugely positive review, thanks for writing it! Guess this must be your favourite site with a score of 99 right? Haha, I'm glad you found this site as enjoyable as it is.
The only thing between me and getting a 6-month subscription to the Dogfart Network is the 4K charge per video. I'm a sucker for that format so it might add up too much otherwise. If they could incorporate a price upgrade instead, that would be marvellous.

Thanks for the review marc. Straight to the point and a lot of good detail. The Dogfart Network seems to have a whole host of sites I'm interested in, knowing that this site has a humiliation niche was something I was unaware of before.

The only parallel I could draw is (depending on the region in America) both sets like to purposely miss out words to get to the point. Otherwise, I would say they are distinctly different. I understand most British accents through watching shows and talking to people, but some accents up north are very strong - we struggle sometimes let alone you guys!

I don't remember it being listed at all during the subscription process but I gambled anyway and tried to sign in to Adult Time. They didn't recognise my details after numerous attempts, so no I don't believe it comes with the membership.

Thank you very much, it pleases me to be a part a very warm and friendly community. I absolutely agree with deep dives. I may not be able to explore every nook and cranny, but us "amateurs" will definitely be able to find stuff TBP may miss or not address what could potentially be vital information that can make or break subscriptions (download limits in your case certainly is one if it's really disruptive). I also believe we won't hold back if we dislike something either, which is something TBP understandably can't do to the same extent as us. I'll try to write more, once again thanks!

| Cons: |
-Late on the 4K game, started in September 2018 so not many videos available in 4K
-Download speeds vary from very good to very poor
-Oldest shoots have as little as 10 images in a set
-Videos occasionally have poor lighting
-Some cuts last way too long, particularly facial expressions and random skin during intense moments, can get really grating
-Seeing both bodies in action needs more airtime over close-ups
-All videos have supplementary image sets but “photos” tab under videos link to one image set, won’t affect latest shoots but will affect the older - use model profiles and search interface to circumvent
-“Photos” tab can also link to “screenshots” for no reason (usually only 30 images), “download full gallery” isn’t visible there - use advice above
-Sometimes the page selector breaks for no reason
-Photo sets can disappear on model profiles whilst navigating, especially after refreshing due to the page selector
-Some older shoots look like HardX content |
| Bottom Line: |
Extra pros:
+Large selection of models
+View upcoming schedules
Extra cons:
-Some image sets are broken and still haven’t been fixed after over a year
-Images in ZIPs are not in folders, can make transferring a bit slow
-Tags still miss content with points of interest
-No model stats

Disclaimer: please note that by "interracial" I am referring to black men and not black women, these are industry standard terms not my own.
DarkX have now racked a few years under their belt and are beginning to establish themselves as one of the more well-known interracial porn sites, but are they a prime example of one? No, but they are certainly competent in their craft.
I like the premise of their content, well produced and filmed in a professional manner tied with stories that are decent albeit generic. The filming is by no means perfect though. I’m not a fan of how zoomed in some of the cuts are and how much time is dedicated to those moments; I’m well aware they are aiming for a distinct style that is dynamic, but this isn’t the best way to go about it and for me absolutely spoils certain scenes to be brutally honest. Seriously, these (lengthy) close-ups of random bits of skin, faces or genitals do nothing to enhance the experience in my opinion. It's fine if it's for a few seconds but they seem to make it much too emphasised and overwhelming for my taste. I wish I could see both bodies more often rather than seeing the guy or girl partially cropped out of the frame. Some shoots also have dreadful lighting of which I have no idea what they are trying to achieve, it doesn't make things feel more real or intimate – only a select few scenes did the dimmed lighting actually work. Also, to jump back on the distinct style, some of the older shoots look they’ve been produced for HardX but with the DarkX label plastered on it. I can tell as HardX is shot with a rawer approach with rougher edges. Seems to be a conflict of identity but this isn’t so apparent in their recent content so I’ll give them a pass.
In terms of site functionality, this is where I believe DarkX seriously excel at and despite its blemishes I’ve outlined above, they must be praised on what generally appears to be a fantastic user interface many other sites seem to neglect. It is very good, to be able to add markers, create my own playlists and use a dropdown box that contains both model names and tags makes it very comfortable for me to enjoy a service just how I, as the user wants. Having a porn subscription should be a cruise, so it’s good to see a site that caters to the user with no major hassles or bottlenecks – even cancelling was a quick and easy process. I also believe their images deserve praise too, there's plenty of them and I love their take on solo imagery as the girls look gorgeous and are enveloped in great lighting. The action consists of no lazy vidcaps, nor do they mislead you into scenes that never actually happen. There are some issues with what some may think are missing image sets, but they aren't actually missing. That is certainly an element of the user interface they can improve upon as they should make it easier to locate them - to find them just look in the "Cons" box for more details.
To sum up, I do recommend DarkX despite my thoughts on their irritating filming habits as I understand that this is highly subjective, even for a porn review. Regardless, I strongly believe it is not great and has the tendency to leave me unsatisfied. Ah well, at least the images are great. As far as interracial porn sites go, it’s good and can be exciting, but if it weren’t for weekly updates I wouldn’t be so positive. Give this site a go if you like interracial but don’t set your expectations too high or you'll be left disappointed.
PS. personally I would love it if DarkX blended a bit more romance into their stories, perhaps taking a leaf out of EroticaX's book would help? |

Extra information:
No condoms (my preference)
A preface if you will. One weakness I’ve identified among Lansky’s sites are repetitive stories. While I praise his glam oriented vision, occasionally I felt that his production values would provide leverage. Good, creative stories freshen content up and can help combat the monotony folks at PU identified so I’m unsure why it’s low on the priority list. For me his sites are in the supreme bracket across the entire porn tree, but indeed this is a blemish overlooked.
By bringing Deeper into the fold, my interest was instantaneous as the name alone is possibilities galore, they could fill voids that have long been overdue: content with story behind it. Kayden Kross of TrenchcoatX was identified as an important figure to embark on this new project. She packed her bags to shift here from her old site, replacing the latter site and is thus at the helms of Deeper. I’m unsure of the semantics, but that’s the gist of it. You can search for TrenchcoatX but the link will redirect you here instead.
Deeper is the newest addition to Lansky’s ever-growing glam matrix. As mentioned before, this one is very much unlike its companions. Presentation wise. I would class their videography as a lush, premium blend of cinematic porn, with elements of gonzo through certain cuts and captures. Naturally you’ll think of Sex Art, but not so fast. They shoot material that could be stripped from shows and movies in my opinion. Not that it’s a bad thing by any means. Anyhow, it appears they’re trying the inquisitive and curious approach. All videos are available up to 4K, they aren’t messing around here. The talent pool is also unsurprisingly chock full of the most fabled adult stars kicking.
Let’s crack on. Needless to say, the moniker alone should depict a greater focus on story but I found that the emphasis I’ve been chasing hasn’t really been met. Instead, Kayden is churning out more BDSM material compared to her earlier work which I’m not keen on. It has its appeal, males dominating women through light BDSM but I think Deeper could and should be more. I don’t mind the odd shoot on it but recently it’s become so lopsided on that niche. Yawn, it’s just not my cup of tea - they should mix things up like they did before like with Lesbian content and amp up the dialogue.
Despite the intimate shots, the light-handed stories blot and hollow my curiosity, wasted potential. The natural model presentation Lansky is known for isn’t the same here either. Bright nail polish and lipstick are copiously used on newer material. I can appreciate a new site carving a distinguishable position among its siblings but thematically it’s not very cohesive. Over the years, Lansky’s beauty aesthetic played a major role on cannoning his body of work and name to the pinnacle. It’s off-kilter for this value to not follow suit in these parts.
More issues surface. While videos are exceptionally crisp, I don’t enjoy all aspects of it. The lens flare doesn’t add much and is at times obnoxious, but the lighting is another story altogether. It can get very bad. Some scenes contain a distracting spotlight, others would be disastrously unlit to the extent you see little to nothing of interest. It’s not very provocative if that’s the goal - they verge on unwatchable for me. Generally the videos have dark lighting which I’m not on board with. I also find it bizarre that some supplementary image sets are in settings that do not match with the video. This concerns the action, not solo imagery.
The more videos I watch, the more I’m unsure whether it belongs under the Lansky umbrella. Not because the quality isn’t there (it certainly is) but because it differs so much aesthetically. It hasn’t fit in snugly as I’d hoped. It’s an awkward one because it’s arguable that the Raw sites differ in that aspect as well. Either way, the name “Deeper” is ingenious. In theory it should yield a virtually bottomless pit of ways to get creative. At the moment though, they are not maximising their possibilities and potential to boot. Their content is quite inconsistent, varying from stylishly elegant to basic run of the mill couple porn or light BDSM with little bite to it. The model aesthetic bothers me as well. I don’t mind Deeper switching things up, but for me that’s a Lansky core that should be adhered to. Their older updates were better.
Expectation got the better of me. I have no aspirations of returning in the near future because for all intents and purposes, I found them underwhelming and bland even with regular updates. They need more creativity and dialogue to ascend to something greater. Something “Deeper”. Inside the Lansky fortress, this is the first site I’ve found pretty mediocre honestly. It didn't give me that wow factor. Give it a shot if you’re into these kinks. Perhaps it’s for you.
PS. the search engine is still terrible. |

Thanks for the review mbaya. Good detail that is nice and concise as always with a great summary. Such an ocean of content here, no doubt I'm interested in the many of them.

Yeah this should have been a comment but thanks for letting us know about the 4K part. I did not know about that and if that is the case I am disappointed. I would much prefer an upgrade tier style if they want to charge rather than per video.

I don't know much about this site or the model but those sound like very exorbitant prices.

As long as they disclose beforehand, I'm fine. I take issue when there isn't disclosure, when they don't mention streaming nor downloading. Not even in the terms and conditions. That system is deliberately designed to mislead customers as far as I'm concerned.

Bottom Line Extended:
The final issue is a sore one, revolving around what I fear most: cancellation. Sigh, this is what happened. On the left side of the main page scrolling down, there’s a link for billing. Got to a page asking to fill out details. Fine but there’s a box to enter your card number. What relevance does a card number have on cancelling? I thought that this was off, perhaps there’s something I’m unaware of. After that, I got the following message: “no account based on submitted information”. I check everything before I put it through, so I tried again – same result. I knew this was an issue on their end and not mine. I wasn’t getting anywhere, so I went to their forums and PM’d a support member, asking for both 4K and my overall membership to be cancelled before the rebill. I read a PU comment somewhere that you have to cancel both, cancelling your membership won’t cancel 4K as well. I can vouch for this because the billing page displayed those options. This is daft, they’re doing this on purpose. I put the PM through sometime before the rebill date, then I received a reply giving me my cancellation date a month from the day I sent the message. To put it simply, I was going to be rebilled and they ignored my request. I thought about contesting this, but I couldn’t be bothered and wanted this done and over with - my 4K upgrade on the other hand was cancelled immediately. A quick gander at their forums and you can see hundreds of posts asking for cancellations dating back to early last year. At this stage their intentions are clear and it’s not a good look.
It’s dirt like this which make me question the integrity of these sites. You are an established entity in the adult sphere, you bust out excellent material and you choose to indulge in this. What a shame. This site and the others cannot and will not realise their full potentials under these lousy measures. To conclude, Monsters Of Cock hold a fabulous interracial (most of it at least) hub and there are a myriad different positives to rave about, other elements could use a reboot of course but most importantly there’s quality in their main product. Much to my annoyance however, their ideals and values are in another dimension altogether. Unfortunately you’ll have to bargain with yourself here. I will join again, after a lengthy break of course.

-After logging in, takes you to obnoxious page brimmed with site package deals
-Videos play automatically upon loading
-Extra $5 per month required for 4K access
-Irritating malpractices, more details below
-Rolling watermarks randomly throughout videos across centre
-You can’t comment, they have a feedback utility though I guess
-Search engine misses videos with points of interest due to poor tagging, sometimes they forget to include the model names which is strange
-Site interface in my opinion looks outdated
-Navigation between various sites on the BangBros network is a mess
-Many shoots have huge image file sizes, 500MB is quite common here with some as big as 2.5GB
-4K video file sizes can be as much as 9GB
-Cancelling is cretinous, I had to use their forums to cancel properly
-No downloadable trailer previews |
| Bottom Line: |
Disclaimer: please note that by "interracial" I am referring to black men and not black women, these are industry standard terms not my own.
Buckle up because this is going to be a long one. Had to cover a lot of bases here so for the first time I’m going beyond the limit. This is down to the controversy surrounding them.
BangBros have been in the porn “biz” for a long time and are pretty much a household name these days. If you like porn, you will have at some point almost certainly heard of these guys. I joined in pursuit of Monsters Of Cock as most of the content there is interracial and I’m a sucker for the niche. I have to be honest, I was anxious joining. Reason being these guys have bundled up quite the notoriety over the years, even being dubbed a minefield by people at PU due to their various advertising ploys. However I bit the bullet and tried it out, aware of the potential calamities that lay ahead. I ran into problems alright, but we’ll get on to that soon. Let’s be positive for now.
Monsters Of Cock excel in punching out jovial, ditzy and ultimately sexy eye candy that would satiate many. There’s fantastic interracial. Under the BangBros umbrella, their videography is why they propelled to stardom in the first place. Their capture in my opinion is one of their defining features, similar to a fish eye lens? This style is shared across the board from what I’ve seen. Edges are rounded off in the corners, so the footage bends into the outer reaches. It supplements the action neatly, especially the POV segments which are a sight to behold because well, they’re phenomenal. Not sure if these guys are the only ones who utilise this capture but I know it’s uncommon. The crop of talent here is rich with variety, all the women are from different walks popular or not. Nowadays, the popular talent are more of a commonality.
Quality wise you’ll be in safe hands, the production value keeps ascending. Today the scenes are shot in deliciously crisp, sharp definition. They are diligent here because damn does it come through. On the other hand, sound is an area where they can improve. Some shoots sound very muffled, especially during sex. Unprofessional in my books, usually I am more lenient but it shouldn’t be happening at all considering BangBros’ stature and budgets.
Photos look brilliant, there are hundreds per shoot and they also supply screencaps with similar quantities. I wish more sites did this as having both options are great, makes comparing actual footage with photos much easier. Likewise with their videos, they’re very corny yet undeniably sexy. It can be to their detriment though, whilst browsing videos the photos used as thumbnails on site might not be in the video at all. Clickbait-esque, screencaps would be better. Solo imagery doesn’t appear to be a focus either.
Time we hone in on negatives. Their upload schedule is every two weeks, pretty slow but the network makes up for it. 4K access requires a $5 upgrade per month. A reasonable charge years ago but not now. The site interface here isn’t impressive either, it looks aesthetically deprived. It looks outdated, grey and lifeless to me. If you took a screenshot and told me it was from 2012, I would believe you. Navigation is clunky too especially when browsing sites, no clear designations such as logos or home pages for any of them. Clicking the site links below videos is the easiest way I think. Amateurish qualities if you ask me, this system is crying for an overhaul.
There’s also a lack of identity, is it really an interracial site, has it become one over the years? I see plenty of interracial content for other sites on the network and wonder why they weren’t released here, seeing as their premise isn’t all that different. The name Monsters Of Cock does lend other possibilities, but clarity would be appreciated. There isn’t anything particularly distinct about the way they shoot either, they use the same BangBros formula as everyone else. Story while not a focus can do with some elbow grease on creativity. You’re launched into the action very quickly most times and on occasions it feels like they’re jumping the gun.
Now more familiar problems ensue. Ads, ads, ads. Getting offers after logging in, seeing a long column at either flank on the page while browsing videos saying “unlock” above each site thumbnail. It isn’t as bad as “one wrong click” as I’ve read from some at PU but vigilance is a must. Not what you want at a porn site. They also use a cheap, animated watermark that rolls across the face of videos at times which is obnoxious and serves no purpose. Get rid. Furthermore, there’s a loyalty scheme where every three months of joining lands you a free site. Once I reached the threshold, I expected to choose a site at my own accord, but they chose one at random. Wouldn’t have minded so much if the site didn’t have 10 videos. Tacky moves, amigo. |
