| Cons: |
-No additional access to other sites

-Obtrusive “Blacked.com” watermarks on some pre-scene images
-Poor search engine, no advanced searching available
-After rating a scene or model you can’t rate again, colours don’t change after refreshing so you have no idea what rating you awarded nor know if you rated them
-Site can time out after a period of inactivity
-Solo and sex images have taken a dip in quantity compared to previous years
-Tags aren’t efficient or useful as they could be
-Notification bell cannot be disabled, good thing it’s not intrusive

-Thumbnail previews only work on the main page (latest six updates)
-Image ads below videos you’re watching

-No downloadable trailer previews, would be really useful |

No condoms (my preference)
Disclaimer: please note that by "interracial" I am referring to black men and not black women, these are industry standard terms not my own.
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. |
