XVideos

XVideos.com is one of the most popular pornographic, tube-style video sharing sites on the Internet. They get over 3 billion visits a month, consistently ranking them among the top 50 websites in the world, and the top ten adult websites globally. They were streaming over a terabyte of smut per second several years ago, and their popularity and catalog have only grown since then. As of this writing, they had nearly 9 million videos available to stream on-demand. XVideos is owned by WGCZ Holding, a Czech company that also owns Penthouse magazine and the BangBros network. The site is available in English, Chinese check, Dutch, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish, making it a truly global phenomenon.

History of a Major Porn Tube XVideos

XVideos was launched in 2007, and by 2012 had become the largest pornography site in the world. They were receiving over 100 million page views every month, a number which is still impressive years later. MindGeek, owners of the massively popular Pornhub network, tried to buy the site for $120 million. The offer was turned down, with the site owner apologizing and saying he had to go play Diablo II. As a large and well-established adult website, they’ve been the subject of censorship around the world throughout their history. Lebanon was among the first to ban them in 2014, followed by Malaysia and India. They were banned from the Philippines as part of an anti-child pornography law in 2015, and they were dropped from a major Venezuelan ISP without any statement in 2018.

Setting the Bar for Porn Tubes to Come

XVideos has what may be described as a typical porn tube format, though given the site’s age and influence, perhaps XVideos helps set the mold as to what is expected. The main screen is mostly thumbnails from the site’s extensive library of pornographic scenes. A wide variety of video content is available, from interracial encounters involving BBC to teenage stripteases and taboo movies about what happens when dad isn’t home and mom has a thing for her stepson. Clip lengths are among the scant information presented beneath each thumbnail. Viewers will note the broad range from short premium sample and amateur clips of only a few minutes to full-length epic orgies that run hours long. Coupled with the broad range of material, XVideos seems suitable for a variety of masturbatory styles, from quickies to marathon sessions. The cluster of genre tags in the header looks a little bit cluttered, but they give quick and easy access to many of the site’s most popular subcategories of pornography. Amateur, Asian, Ass and Creampie are among their most highly sought offerings, and current trends among pornstars and sex acts are laid out in plain English. At the time of this writing, Brooklyn Gray, Addison Lee and Dee Williams were trending starlets, with Teen, MILF, Anal and Squirt showing a strong uptick in searches. By default, XVideos is displaying material from their Straight collection of content, as this is the material most popular with their mostly male viewing demographic. They do aim to please everyone, though, so a dropdown menu in the top right corner lets you access their Gay or Shemale libraries.

Animated Previews and Full-Length HD Sex Scenes

As with most modern sex tubes, the thumbnails display animated previews if you hover over them with the mouse or tap them on your mobile device. Viewers will be faced with such a wealth of amateur anal sex and professionally filmed threesome scenes that it may be hard to choose. For this review, PornSites.com started with one of the newest scenes on the menu, a 30-minute Team Skeet movie called TheRealWorkout: Cute Blonde Gets Her Pussy Stretched out. On most tube sites, the presence of a full-length scene like this would be a strong indicator of piracy. Here, however, the 1080P HD scene has been uploaded by the premium porn giant themselves. As one of the largest sex tubes out there, XVideos has the clout to make full scenes like this available to their viewers at no cost. With our ad blocker enabled, the Play button starts the movie off with minimal buffering and with the quality already maxed out at the highest resolution. There is a brief website intro for The Real Workout, and then we see our starlet riding a bike around the park in a very tight and revealing outfit. Considering the source, it’s hard to complain about the quality of this particular piece of hardcore pornography. Throughout the beautifully shot, half-hour scene, we see the busty young trainer get pounded in her tight, shaved vagina, working her facial muscles during an intense blowjob, taking it in doggystyle and cowgirl positions, and finally getting her lovely face covered in a thick coat of hot semen.

Social Networking, Downloading, and Masturbating

The video doesn’t belong to XVideos, but the delivery system does. Playback is very smooth, with no stuttering and very little buffering when skipping around throughout the full runtime. Viewers can easily jump from the cunnilingus sequence to the facial finale and then back to the fingering without losing any masturbatory momentum. As with other tube-style video sites, there are basic social networking features built into each video page. Viewers can voice their opinion on each gonzo porn or public blowjob video by clicking the Thumbs-up or Thumbs-down buttons. Registered users can also leave comments and create their own playlists for later masturbatory enjoyment. There is a Download button beneath each video enabling users to save MP4s of the Latina movies and yoga-themed sex scenes. The one caveat is that you need to register for an account first, though all one needs for the privilege is a working email address.

A Strong Amateur Community with Tons of DIY Smut

Since XVideos is technically a video sharing website, and one of the largest ones with one of the largest user bases, they have one of the most thriving amateur porn communities the world has ever seen. With over 100,000 verified women and couple videos and growing, this tube is a true goldmine for fans of DIY pornography. You can access their full archive of Amateur smut through the tag link in the header, but the 100% Verified link brings you directly to the movies they’ve confirmed as coming from their actual users. As this is a worldwide site, viewers have instant access to homegrown squirting movies, lesbian experiments, and BBW stripteases from around the globe. As PornSites.com reviewed XVideos, the most recent verified amateur movie was an Iraqi clip of a woman wearing only a burqa giving head and taking a load to the body. The thriving community of amateur pornographers on XVideos allows exhibitionists and their fans to interact across the globe. Amateurs get their own profile pages to showcase their videos and photos. The most popular verified amateurs have thousands of friends and fans on their lists. The site makes it easy to follow your favorite homebrew smut peddlers, as well as the infrastructure to let them view it all completely for free. One of the things that has allowed XVideos to thrive on an Internet completely saturated with other free porn tubes is that they are able to serve up a far greater amount of material with far less spam. During our visit, with our ad blocker enabled, we didn’t have any issue at all with pop-ups, pop-unders or banner ads. In fact, the closest things we saw to advertisements were the brief production house intros at the start of some of the professionally produced movies. The secret to the lasting popularity of XVideos.com seems to be a very simple formula that they’ve managed to pull off better than the competition. They’ve got 9 million videos, in all pornographic styles and levels of perversion, and very little spam between that smut and the end-user. Those basic facts are enough to make them one of the most popular websites in the world.
