PornHD

PornHD.com is a free pornography website with a typical sex tube format. Registered in 2004, the website is a library of smut known worldwide for its wide variety of perverse videos available on demand. The videos are in high definition, hence the name. As of this writing, the site was receiving roughly 35 million visits per month, putting it in the top 100 porn sites globally.

A Porn Tube in Crisp HD

The front page of PornHD features the wall of pornographic thumbnails typical of websites of this type. The entire presentation is clean and streamlined, with a white background and very basic header featuring an understated site logo. Minimal information is presented for each video, lending to the clean feel; only a title and runtime is visible for each scene. As typical for a modern sex tube, thumbnails display a moving preview upon hover-over. The default view shows Featured Videos first. When PornSites.com visited, these included a taboo MFM anal scene, a petite and bubbly teen getting hosed down with semen during a casting call, and an embarrassing situation involving a Latina getting caught out in public without any clothes. We consulted the animated preview to see how Serena Santos dealt with the situation, and it involved oral sex, doggystyle, and a man ejaculating on her naked breasts. The Featured Videos lean heavily toward professional scenes with high production values. Indeed, some of the trending tags listed at the top of the screen make it apparent what type of material is popular here; Brazzers, Anal, Blacked, Big Ass, Reality Kings and MILF are all popular categories on the site. Premium porn sites listed as tags is often an indicator of piracy. However, the relatively short duration of the Featured Videos would suggest otherwise. With most sex scenes running around 10 minutes, the site features a constant stream of paysite sample clips as part of their regular updates. The Reality Kings section of the site, for example, has sign-up links to the paysite as well as regular updates of short preview scenes to entice potential subscribers.

Incest Movies, Blowjobs and More

PornSites.com uses a readily available spam-blocking plugin while reviewing sex sites. While the front page is clear of banner ads and animated erection pill demonstrations, several live webcam links are slipped in among the thumbnails of MILF blowjob and interracial orgy movies. They are denoted with a LIVE icon where the other thumbnails have a timestamp, though unaware users may click one or more during the visit. At best, this means a free glimpse at live nude girls, possibly engaging in masturbation or intercourse. At worst, viewers who fall in love may find themselves in a dire financial situation. The first thing we clicked on was a thumbnail for a taboo movie called Stepsis Mackenzie is Bi-Curious and Horny. A pop-under slipped by our ad-blocker, but we were able to get the video playing without difficulty. The 12-minute scene is, in fact, a sample from a paysite indicated by a watermark in the corner and a short video introduction. Scrolling text further reminds us that the full 44-minute film is available to paying members on the official site. PornHD began streaming the scene at 480p, though we didn’t have any buffering or stuttering issues after bumping it up to 720p. While technically HD, 720p is no longer considered to be the high end of the spectrum. As the site is called PornHD, users may be disappointed by the relatively low definition. A blurb at the bottom of the front page explains that some movies are 1080p, though during our visit 720p seemed standard. Stepsis Mackenzie is Bi-Curious and Horny looked somewhat grainy in full screen even at maximum resolution. Playback is very smooth, even maxed out and while skipping around the timeline. Mackenzie aggressively dry-humps an inflatable sex doll before being surprised by her step-brother. It takes minimal effort on his part to convince the young lady to try having sex with a real person. She’s soon administering oral sex with a surprised look on her face, followed by reciprocal cunnilingus from her older brother. The clip culminates with several minutes of Mackenzie squealing while riding atop the man’s turgid erection.

Free Porn and Aggressive Spam

After the video concluded, we clicked the Like button. PornHD does not require memberships, so our Like was added to the total without any need to sign in. Clicking the Download button, however, proved to be an issue that ties in with the site’s very aggressive use of spam. With our spam blocker enabled, the Download button did nothing when clicked. We tried multiple times, even reloading the page and trying other videos. Downloading does not require any sign-up, but does seem to require that users deactivate any ad-blocking plugin they have enabled. We turned ours off and refreshed the page. Much of the page was now covered in short advertising loops of men thrusting their penises into sex toys, women making “jack-off” hand motions, and micropenises expanding after being doused with a miracle cure. The Download button, however, now works. Users can select between Standard (480p) and HD Quality (720p). A couple other minor features of the site that appeared broken began to work when the blocker was deactivated. For example, there are dropdown menus on the front page that let you reorder the videos or log into the site. With our spam plugin running, these menus were completely non-functional. Upon dropping our protection and refreshing the page, they began working. PornSites.com did not feel the trade-off was worth it. During our visit to the site, our spam blocker was able to protect us from the majority of intrusive advertisements. After the initial pop-under ad, the plugin blocked the rest. However, it was clear that the site has a very aggressive spam experience in store for their users; our ad-blocker consistently displayed double digits in its blocked ad count. Viewers of the site are strongly advised to always use an ad-blocker when perusing PornHD’s collection of double penetration, teenage lesbians and public indecency movies.

A Picture Menu of Pornographic Videos

PornHD’s Categories page is an exhaustively detailed picture menu of well over 200 pornographic subgenres. Everything from Anal to Squirting to Stepdaughter is illustrated with a relevant thumbnail of a penetrated rectum, erupting vagina, or innocent teen giving her surprised step-father a well-practiced blowjob. Each thumbnail is clearly hand selected. The photo for Orgasm features a beautiful woman with her eyes closed and mouth open in a big O. Rough Sex is denoted by a naked woman held by her hair, tears streaming down her face and ruining her makeup. The Role Play section features a girl in a sailor suit and another dressed as a princess, and the girl with the mouthful of semen represents the Cum In Mouth section of the site. The Categories run very deep, with porn standards like Reverse Cowgirl and Toys side-by-side with kinkier acts like Blowbang, Gaping, Femdom and Ass-to-Mouth. The amount of effort that went into the list and presentation is impressive. Most porn tubes trim it to a few dozen, leave them without thumbnails, and then make users dig through extensive tag lists to find their favorite specific content. PornHD has a similarly exhaustive Pornstars section with thumbnails for a seemingly endless range of pornstars. By default, they’re sorted by popularity. The number of pieces a particular starlet has on PornHD is listed below her thumbnail. Lana Rhoades, who currently holds the #1 position, has 73 hardcore porno movies available to stream and download from the site as of this writing. Some of the more prolific actresses, like Riley Reid and Abella Danger, have hundreds of dirty movies to their names. PornHD does have something of a spam problem compared to some of their major competitors. It’s easily the biggest downside to the site, but it isn’t bad enough to discourage their nearly 35 million monthly viewers. PornHD remains one of the biggest and most popular free sex tubes because they consistently deliver top-shelf content from the big names, and they never charge their users a cent. It’s a simple formula, but it obviously works.
