- First Impression
At this point in my life (I was gonna say "career" but let's face it, I was watching porn long before I started reviewing it for a website), I feel like I've seen all the bareback porn. Ever. I've seen gangbang bareback, I've seen DP bareback, I've even seen bareback porn where peanut butter was used (by the way: never again). So when I'm at a new bareback paysite, I look for something to stand out.
BareBackHDPorn.com is headed in that direction. The homepage claims that users who visit the site have reached "the biggest bareback movie site on the net" with "thousands of bareback scenes in HD starring the biggest names in adult entertainment!" I guess, right off the bat, BareBack HD Porn is setting itself apart from the rest: it's not a website that creates it's own porn, it's a site hosts all the bareback movies I can't afford to buy in one handy dandy site. And in high definition.
- Navigation
I really like the guest homepage. A black background makes all the the movies and naked men pop. It might see a little busy, but it's a busy that works. However, when I log in, the site becomes pretty generic looking. It might be my own perspective, but I would imagine that a site that boasts high-def in its name would have a better site design, one that isn't gray and blocky and, frankly, boring. The navigation is nearly 100% wonky as well. The first time I looked at this, I was quite tired so I figured I was just sleepy and irritable. After a full night's sleep, though, I'm still quite annoyed by the navigation. After a couple of squints, I see that there is a task bar near the top of the page, but the links look like they belong to new websites. Hence my confusion. When I do figure out where the movies are, there's no simple way to look through them. The previews are too big, there are too many ays to search for videos you'd want to watch…it's just a mess. This navigation needs to be cleared up, stat. There are buttons to change the page view layout, but I didn't notice it until I'd been on the site for about an hour. -
- Content
Once I finally find what I'm looking for, I'm a little further disappointed. Clicking on the movie you want to watch doesn't open a new page. It opens a subwindow (does that make sense? A window within a window, for lack of a better description). And the movies are only offered in MPEG format. There's no online screening at all. The site does suggest that if users have a problem playing DivX or MPEG videos, users can play them with VLC media player and gives a link to download it. But really, no online streaming? No other file types? It's…quite annoying, to say the least. -
- Guys and Sex
The sex and the guys are more often hot, than not. This makes sense; movies--that is, physical, tactile movies--don't get made unless they can sell. Sex sells. In order for that to happen you need hot sex and hot guys. This is BareBack HD Porn's saving grace, that the content is truly walkable. As always, my advice is to sort by rating and go for the highest rated. You can never go wrong with what people before you have deemed to be the best. But don't be afraid to root around; I found a couple of videos that weren't rated as high as I thought they should have been. -
- Value
The bonus content is not as hot, but it does add more bang for your buck. There are bonus galleries to be viewed as well as bonus video content. Additionally, there are live sex cams. As I mentioned, this content isn't necessarily hotter--though there are some gems there--but it's nice to see the site try. -
- Bottom Line
BareBackHDPorn.com has the most important part right: the content. However, the site needs to work on everything else--the design, the navigation, the content delivery styles--and make it sharper, cleaner and more efficient. If you don't mind that, you'll get some quality porn. -
