Yup. You could make an argument that they could afford to shorten the amount of time of the contract, but if they didn't sign an exclusive at all, they could pay the extra money they're presumably paying for first IR, and then have another site come and shoot an IR scene a couple days later and release it a couple days after that, completely devaluing the scene they just shot (and before someone says that wouldn't happen, it would and does).
Here are a couple scenarios for some Blacked scenes: 1) Female performer is a nude model who is posing for an artist (male performer) 2) Female star is a nude yoga teacher meeting with a male student for a private session 3) Female is at a bachelorette party and a male star shows up and either *A-Guy brings friends and the scene becomes an orgy or B-Female has one last hurrah with friends joining in and the scene turns into Blacked's version of a Dancing Bear scene 4) Female performer is a MILF who is teaching a BJ class to female students. She transitions from cucumbers and bananas to a male performer and the scene escalates and possibly includes some students in the class getting banged in front of the rest of the class

I think some performers or pairings of performers really need a director's guidance to make a Blacked-quality scene. That's where the Blacked clones tend to fail. At the same time, it wouldn't hurt for Lansky to let a scene just play out when he gets the right performers together. It looked to me like Goldie and Jason, for example, were perfectly capable of having erotic sex without Lansky's usual tight staging. Edited by - misspornUSA on 2/20/2016 12:13:06 AM

Without variety the ebony and IR genre's will never evolve and reach higher heights imo. The likes of Prince are one trick pony's imo because you know exactly what you're gonna get...grunting, knee-pads, cream boots etc!!...i can't knock the man's hussle but kings aren't born without being given a chance. That's why i hope Blacked do shoot the likes of Stallion and Cash this year.

Hereisyourvariety That's not porn that's slapstick IMO. So like I said variety doesn't mean better scenes. You need better talents to evole and, not just more. And I don't care what Prince is wearing or how he sounds. He can keep his dick hard and he is a solid performer. That's all what matters to me

Hmm, it sounds like there was a problem with the billing processor, not the website (Blacked). Was EPOCH the billing processor for your transaction, GGG? This caught my attention because I took advantage of the same Valentine's Day discount offer, however, I went with Tushy instead of Blacked. I actually went to check my credit card statement right after I read your post; I've got no problems to report.
Stallion is one black performer that would fit into Blacked male talent pool perfectly. The guy just has so much class, he doesn't look too "street’ and "too rough" like some other black performers. He could easily be a male model or even an actor with his looks.
^^^^^I'm not sure if those pics posted on Karla's IG are from a new scene or the old one. There is a caption for another pic in her IG with Jillian that says something like "found some old gems while IG stalking Lansky". Are the thongs/lingerie in the pic different from the bikinis featured in their 2 on 2? Sure. But that may be due to the fact that the performers wear their own clothing to the shoot before they change into Blacked's wardrobe.
Truth! Jillian's scenes are always awesome and she has the acting ability to give that "can you show me" performance before she turns into a wild woman. Always a great performer!
^^ I was talking mainly about appearance. He maybe the best performer but looks like a typical male talent. Blacked is all about class, in my opinion - that's why I prefer scenes with Jason Brown and that's why it would make sense giving Stallion a chance. Just look at his agency profile - pretty much porn version of Idris Elba.
They canceled my subscriptions, but never actually addressed the problem. The processor is Segpay. I subscribed to both Tushy and Blacked, and got charged three times for each. I have since contacted Segpay twice asking for an explanation, as I do actually want to be subscribed, but they have not replied and I doubt they ever will. I'm going to check to see if my money got refunded. This is the third time a porn site (or its processor) has fraudulently charged my CC, and the second time I have had to cancel my CC and a website subscription this year. I am beyond frustrated, and very suspicious of porn sites now. I expected better from Blacked/Tushy. Maybe they need to have a word with Segpay...

If it is indeed Leah it could well be THE anal IR scene she referred to in her recent interview although it may be for another site entirely. It's exciting to think that it could be though .
^ Do you mean that as in "you know of his work and don't think he's the type of person you want to see on the site", or as in "I don't think they need any more performers than they have right now, period"? Because it's never a bad thing to find new male performers to use just in case you need to use them for whatever reason (one of their primarily performers retires or gets injured, for example).
I'd love for Blacked to have all exclusive scenes start off with an interview of the female performer. It would be great if the star of the scene waltzed in fully nude and then talked about her feelings about Blacked and IR in general. Or just more full frontal nudity tbh. Too many attractive women with great figures being wasted with lingerie. Just get buck naked

Unless they've begun shooting scenes more often or intend to, I don't think they need new performers right now. Not that I won't watch Stallion's scene whenever it arrives, but I'm not particularly excited about them adding another guy or replacing someone.
I don't know - quite a few people seem to be frustrated with Isiah lately in this very thread since he's everywhere and because of number of other reasons. One would think using temporary replacement to fix that as well as giving a chance to a promising and appropriate for Blacked performer to keep things fresh would make sense.

^I like Isiah. Maybe his several critics here are representative of a majority or at least a substantial portion of Blacked's members, but, then again, maybe they're not.
^^^ So you're basically saying that adding any new guy would mean less scenes of one of the performers that they're already shooting, which is something you wouldn't like? I can understand that. I may not agree with it, but I can understand it.

I've already said a million times that Isiah is not a good performer imo!!!...so what's your point? Is he the only other black male besides Prince and Rico now? Edited by - iwatchusmash on 2/21/2016 3:46:21 AM

Sorry i can't quite comprehend this "expand" stuff you're talking about? Right now they have three signed performers from what i gather which is Flash Brown , Jason Brown and Michael Williams. Then they bring in outside talent like Isiah Maxwell (who has been on there way too much recently imo), Rob Piper and that's pretty much it!!!...Prince doesn't shoot with them any more, neither does Jovan Jordan. Then you have guys who made just one or two appearances like Shane, Charlie, Jon-Jon, Wesley and perhaps Sean Michaels might be a one and done too!!!..so the pool is pretty much four guys right now which for a big site like Blacked is not enough imo...for me the site will become very bland if they contrive to use the same story lines along with the same old males. The likes of Stallion was nominated for best male new-comer of the year at the Avn's and has been on most of the top websites like Brazzers, Naught America, Babes, Bangbros etc...so imo he's more than earned a chance with Blacked.
Also, Stallion is British if he pushes heavy on accents this may add a lot to they their usual one and done cheating plots Edited by - LCF on 2/21/2016 4:14:00 AM

Yep...Stallion is actually making history by being the only black, British male performer to make it in the American porn industry and also to get nominated by the AVN. Omar Williams shot a few scenes with Lex and co back in the day but that was a rare thing.
Wouldn't mind Stallion at least getting a chance on the BLACKED front and possibly becoming a regular. I'm not really a fan of BLACKED's contracts, though, at least as far as male talent go. Isiah is literally everywhere right now, I feel like Jason and Flash left a ton of money on the table by signing exclusively with BLACKED. Unless Lansky payed them a fortune, there's no way on Earth they are making more than Isiah at the moment, and IMO, they are both better performers.

Yep i do think Flash short changed himself tbh because at the time he signed the contract he was really starting to blow up and was shooting for all of the major companies like Isiah is doing now...the contract may provide "security" but where a career is concerned it muddies the waters. From my own perspective i prefer to see the best talent work at a variety of companies because different companies have different styles of shooting..with Blacked you know what you're getting and it doesn't really change.
^ A couple things should also be taken into consideration ,Isaiah is working that much because some talents are unavailable including those under contract and those who moved to Europe for a while (Charlie Macc), those in hospital either injured (Jack Napier, Rico Strong) or sick (Wesley Pipes) not only this but there are more hi rated sites shooting IR content such as Babes, Colette , Wow porn , Team Skeet ,Arch Angel , DarkX , Reality Kings, Airerose, Reality Junkies , even Brazzers and Naughty America and some others along with Dogfart. None of this could have been be reasonably foreseen. In addition back then Mandingo was under contract with WCP and was shooting for his own line only . So Flash was basically the bigger guy available for any other studio , plus he is good looking, muscled and doesn't look like a con. But right now Mandingo is out of contract and seems to be all over the place , he shoots for Dogfart , DarkX and Arch Angel right now and he doesn't look like a thug either, so Flash is no longer the biggest (or close to that) guy around and there are other as good looking as he is beginning from Stallion and some others as muscled as he is and even in better shape , Jax Slayher and Rob Piper come to mind. Also Lex begun to shoot a lot out of his label including for Dogfart where you couldn't find him until recently So he may be losing work but I'm not sure it's as much as you may think , Isaiah is working this much because some of the pool of talents has been unavailable for a while for different reasons but their replacements are already coming in ,beginning with the already mentioned Jax Slayher and Stallion.a And let's not forget Sean Michaels who was working his own label at Evil Angel until he broke up with them and of course is shooting almost as much as Isaiah.
^^ Firstly, that girl isn't with that agency anymore. Friend of Leah Gotti who shot FTV with her and was supposed to join her at Matrix Models but it's unclear if she's even active. Secondly, that Fetti Models is a garbage-tier Florida agency that shouldn't be even allowed to operate.

Later in your comment you refer to Blacked a "big site", but in fact they are not pumping out a lot of scenes and as such do not require a large pool of male talent. They are big in terms of success, not in the amount of content they produce. Stallion's AVN nom, etc. is a different issue. I'm not arguing against Stallion as a performer, which is why I wrote "Nothing against Stallion". I have watched all of his scenes that I have access to, which means everything he's shot for Bangbros and Dogfart, as well as his scene for TLBC and his recent scene for Babes. You don't care for Isiah and would like to see him replaced. I don't see the point in arguing that the site will become bland if Blacked continues to use "the same old males", when your actual reason for wanting Stallion's addition is your dislike for the work of one or more members of Blacked's male talent pool.
