Dark X (0)

Newbie 88* rearadmiral (0) 01-16-16  10:12am                TRUST USER?   YES (0), NO (0) Status: Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review). Pros: - Third site by Mason - High production values - A-list stars - Hardcore without crossing into rough - Many download and streaming options - Supports download managers - Bonus scenes from sister sites - TBP discount Cons: - Small site (but growing) - Scenes could be made part of existing sites Bottom Line: Dark X is the third independent site from the acclaimed director Mason. This site is in addition to her other excellent sites, Hard X and Erotica X. If you’re familiar with either of those sites you’ll know that if Dark X follows in their footsteps it will be a great site. I don’t want to sound judgmental, but I don’t really understand interracial porn as a stand-alone niche. For one thing, it seems that ‘interracial’ in this context only means a black male with white female. In the real world couples from any race can pair up. But what I don’t understand is why these interracial scenes couldn’t simply have been added to the existing Hard X and Erotica X sites since those two sites do have interracial scenes. But, for some reason, interracial porn seems to be a big thing right now and I can’t fault Mason for wanting to capitalize on that. The porn itself is up to Mason’s usual high standards: the models are A-list and beautiful. The women are all white but there is some variation in age and body type. The scenes are all well produced with good lighting and editing to best show off the models. I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is couples porn but it isn't misogynistic either. Credit that to having a woman as the director for giving these scenes a lot of heat and still appeal to a broad audience. There are currently 29 scenes uploaded, but that needs a bit of an explanation. When the site began it added a new scene each day for a short while. That makes sense as it gives members a reason to join. The current update schedule is one scene per week but the overall number of scenes is augmented by the addition of some bonus interracial scenes from Hard X and Erotica X. These are actual bonus scenes in that they don’t count as the weekly exclusive update. As of today there are 21 Dark X scenes, six Hard X scenes and two Erotica X scenes. For those like me who like anal sex scenes, there are six exclusive anal scenes and an additional four from Hard X. Like its sister sites, this one is laid out well and is easy to use. There are different ways to sort the scenes and you can choose a specific porn star or common niche. There is a search function but the site is still too small to really test that. I found that just being able to sort by star and niche was sufficient. Each main page has six scenes with each having a large photo and information on the scene including the model, the scene name and the upload date. Each of those opens into a new page where you’ll have a description of the scene and options to stream or download it. For both streaming and downloading there are a lot of options. Both offer seven different resolutions: 160p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080p. The downloads are only available as MP4s. I wish other sites would offer this many options. I downloaded the 720p files as those are a good compromise between file size and video quality. The bitrates are just shy of 5000kb/s (though a few were as low as 3500) so they look good on a 24” monitor. There are some photos available but it is fair to say that these are secondary to the videos. The photos are good quality but there aren't many per set and those appear to be screencaps. I didn’t see a way to download them as a zip. The site allows download managers and I found the download speeds to be at least as good as other comparable sites. Some may not see the value in joining such a small (but growing) site even with the TBP discount but that would be missing out on some excellent quality porn. The scenes are all well produced, shot and edited and all of them feature the best stars in the porn industry today. This is definitely a site that I’ll rejoin. Reply To Review Review in Favorites!

In porn IR tends to always mean a black man or woman with a white man or woman. As much as I enjoy IR porn. This is one of those sites that I classify under not going to join for a very long time because it's going to take them a long time to accumulate content. Worse it actually penalizes it's sister site Hard X because the people behind Dark X didn't so much create a brand stand alone new site as they stole the content that would have once gone to Hard X and used it to supply a IR only site. It's not like Hard X has already a huge library of content but now they will either have to share the same content or see some scenes that would have once been on their site get used on Dark X. 01-18-16  06:04pm Reply To Message 2 rearadmiral (0) REPLY TO #1 - pat362 : I agree 100% that the material for this site could just as easily be uploaded to either Hard X or Erotica X depending on the scene. I gave the site the benefit of the doubt because times are tough in the porn business and if a producer/director can spin off a separate site to generate more earnings then I can live with that - as long as the quality is good, and it is very good on all of Mason's sites. 01-20-16  02:40pm Reply To Message 3 pat362 (0) REPLY TO #2 - rearadmiral : I completely understand your reason and I see nothing wrong with it. I do wonder if you would have been as magnanimous if you had to pay full price instead of the TBP/PU discount. Don't get wrong. I joined Tushy and paid the full price all the while knowing that there wasn't a lot of content and updates were once a week so cost isn't always an issue but in this case I think what Dark X and in many ways what Hard X has done is borderline reprehensible because Dark is not really going to be a true stand alone site so much as a site that the owners of Hard X will now upload the IR content they would have once used on their own site. Instead of having a much bigger site with more updates. I think you will now have two smaller sites with fewer updates. Of course I may be all wrong and this is just the beginning of them shooting way more content to update both sites. 01-21-16  05:56pm Reply To Message 4 rearadmiral (0) REPLY TO #3 - pat362 : More good points... You're probably right that the TBP discount influenced my decision a bit and that if I had to pay full price I might not have been so generous. Your contrast of Dark X with Hard X and Tushy is correct too. I paid full price for Tushy because of the three sites that was (is) the one that offers something distinct and valuable. They offer a lot of first anals and I'm willing to pay to collect those. But Hard and Dark are really much more mainstream and could really be rolled together. I do think that for whatever reason "IR" is popular so Mason wanted to take advantage of that. 01-22-16  08:50am Reply To Message 5 pat362 (0) REPLY TO #4 - rearadmiral : I don't know if this makes me weird(or weirder) but one of the main reasons why I like IR is because I like the contrast in skin color between the performers. I don't care if it's a black woman with a black man or vice versa. As long as there is a contrast than I'm happy. Not sure if this is one of the appeals of IR or if like anal and other sexual fetishes. It is still a taboo subject. In fact it would quite easy to argue that IR is in many ways more taboo than almost any other fetish(baring the illegal ones). I'm sure that at some point I will join Dark X but unless they get an exclusive scene that I must have than it will be many months before I even consider joining. 01-22-16  03:20pm Reply To Message 6 rearadmiral (0) REPLY TO #5 - pat362 : I think the allure of IR is that it is perceived by some as still being taboo. I have no idea why that is, but it is. Consider all the threads on other forums about which starlets will and won't do IR. It's a major fascination these days for some. I can't fault Mason for wanting in on the craze. If Dark X's success helps fund more Tushy.com scenes then I'm a fan too! Bring on more first anals on Tushy! 01-23-16  07:14am Reply To Message 7 pat362 (0) REPLY TO #6 - rearadmiral : Sadly IR is still taboo in 2016 because way too many people are still racist and therefore that's why many performers who are not racist themselves will avoid doing for fear that it will make them pariah with many fans. 01-23-16  06:08pm Reply To Message 8 rearadmiral (0) REPLY TO #7 - pat362 : I think you're 100% right. 01-31-16  07:31am Reply To Message *Message rows highlighted in light orange are replies to replies.
