Nah.... Hotness is def the wrong word.... If this was just POV I'm not tripping, but some dudes are just distracting to see when you're trying to focus on the fine ass female performer and you keep seeing this busted dude.... 😬
Lowtru I'm OK with... Julio I'm not... and Davin King hin remain the only two male performers featured on BLACKED that are unwatchable for me... I can't watch... They just ruin scenes for me so I hope they don't get any major exclusives paired with them. 😭 I hope Kylie and Lana have second scenes on BLACKEDRaw too
I wasn't aware until today that Lansky made a spinoff site for Blacked and it looks good. I hope he get more Asian (hopefully some JAV stars like Shiori Tsukada and Hitomi)and Latin girls for BlackedRaw in the upcoming future.
I'm not a fan of Macana Man and he's not black and his complexion wouldn't work on BlackedRaw when it comes to the contrast of the female talent. He would be better on bangbros due to him being Hispanic.
So a 7 minute [mod edit: name of tube site removed. Let's not encourage ppl to go to those sites.] preview of Lily Love's scene "leaked". It kind of goes as expected, based off of the trailer. There's a selfie portion of the scene, followed by the actual scene that uses an actual professional camera. It kind of seems like an "intentional leak" to build up hype for the site, but that's just my hot take. Edited by - killbillvol69 on 10/14/2017 11:58:49 AM
I don't really get the selfie thing. They are mimicking amateur camera phone video by holding the camera phone vertical, when any amateur can automatically make their camera phone videos more professional just by turning the fucking thing horizontal. Are they planning to release a mobile version of the video where the "selfie" sections are horizontal so you can keep rotating your phone to catch up? Otherwise I don't get what on earth could be the appeal holding the camera phone camera vertically unless that's suppose to convey the total "raw"ness or something by mimicking what people who are obviously not serious about taking video would do? Cuz there's nothing hotter than 60% of the screen being black bars? Oh what the fuck do I know I'm not a genius porn artist.
^ Because regular people don't hold their phones horizontally. If you want to see a porn video that's shot professionally, well, Greg Lansky has 3 sites he'd like to talk to you about. If you want to see a porn video that's homemade and shot amateurly, well there's billions of the sort on Tubesites. If you want a porn video that's somewhere in between those two points, well, BLACKEDRAW seems to be it.
I get what they are thinking here, I just think it's questionable to emulate the dumbest things that amatuers who don't give a shit about what they are doing would do. But I find it frustrating enough how underwhelming the staging of supposedly professional porn is, so I guess I was never going to be into something that actually aspires to be more inept. Maybe one day there will be a BlackedWellDone. And before anyone goes there, the regular Blacked is more like BlackedPouchDinner.
^ That's just hyperbolic and it's not like the vertical video portion is how the entire scene is shot.

The girl holding a professional camera but pretending its her phone is fine too me. Add a fake *REC overlay if you want. It would have been better to do that than getting the phone cut screen...

Thanks for the info. I just watched it and i gotta say overall i like the style, it's a good opposite to the regular luxury high glamour Blacked scenes. The only thing they should change is the vertical selfie part in the beginning, they should film it normal in horizontal mode so you don't have these big ass black bars. Edited by - killbillvol69 on 10/14/2017 11:58:39 AM
^^ Took me a while to find it through all the tube sites, but yeah..agreed on that one.. I like the style, finally something different, but still on the same level of production as the regular sites. Though you'd think the the guys behind the site would realize filming vertically is a capital sin. Only possible explanation would be to let it look even more "amateur".. Anyway the black bars will hopefully disappear once more feedback is given.
Lol...it happens a lot in the Blacked thread. I assume the ones going on constantly about the guys in the scenes & their dicks are either women, gay men or bisexual.
If you guys complain enough about the selfie portion, it's just gonna end up looking like BLACKED.com!

^No, don't get me wrong. I like the selfie part and i hope they keep it, i just don't like the vertical format of the selfie part with the black bars on the left and right. But thats just my opion, overall the style & camera work of the scene looks very good.
IMO the vertical selfie is realistic because that's how many people simply do their selfies. Even recording at 1080p on their iPhones, and uploading at 720 or lower, they don't crop the image to zoom and remove the borders on the sides. It's very common, so that makes it believable. In fact, that's how Allison Parker's interracial snapchat begins. It's not all that critical, and you wouldn't expect a selfie that resembles a live stream to always be edited or formatted ideally.
Looks like someone leaked one of the scenes on [mod edit: name of tube site removed. Let's not encourage ppl to go to those sites.], from what I saw it looked pretty damn hot Edited by - killbillvol69 on 10/14/2017 11:58:20 AM
Not at all... Some male performers are just unwatchable... Busted dudes who can't fuck the girls right.... It's actually quite the contrary. I can't understand how Julio Gomez is watchable for anyone unless they're a woman, bisexual, or gay and are watching to see him.

^What you can't see is how your opinion of Julio is subjective. I like Julio, but I'm just one person. Other women and other people in general will have different opinions. Some will happen to have the same opinion. Opinions vary because people do. When you understand that, you'll understand how it's possible for other hetero men to regard Julio as watchable. Those men aren't you and may therefore think differently from you. No part of that should be mind blowing.
I think Julio would do well on BlackedRaw if he returns. He seems to be more into gonzo style unscripted scenes where he can take control and tell his partner what he likes.
Do you understand what I mean by fuck the girls right?.... Performance wise his dick makes the sex essentially a slow struggle fuck...That's not subjective.. compared with all other BLACKED performers that clearly is apparent... Which in turn makes him the focus of the scenes and not the female talent.

This was tweeted about an hour ago, but when I click on the link, I get page not found: EDIT: Link is working now, but all it does is take you to the BlackedRaw site page that has the countdown clock and the "Get Priority Access" button.

Yeah, but some know the female is the featured star of the scenes.... And are consistent performers who aren't distracting in their performance.... Jason Brown, Flash, Nat Turnher, Jax, Rob, and others aren't busted performers who can't fuck a girl in a scene.... Y'all aren't gonna get this reference perhaps, but in any sport... You have role players and you have stars. You don't want the role players taking away from the stars.... You let the stars shine and you perform effectively in your role.... If you don't perform well or are limited in your ability to do so, then it takes away from the stars performance. 😤

Do you understand that I don't have a problem with the manner in which Julio has sex with his costars? Whether I, you, or anyone likes his performances or not is subjective. By all means, value your opinion and be loud and proud about it, but realize that it is your opinion. Some will share it, others won't. What's so hard to understand about that?

Let's wait and see how this all turns out. Much speculation is being made over a few minutes of teaser video. I do hope they don't waste too much time on the selfie crap in these scenes. Not sure what your comment about regular Blacked means, but I think it has gotten stale for the most part. They follow the same pattern damn near every scene and it just gets old. Anyone who can't see the difference between scenes now and when the site began is just blind. The only time it does anything for me anymore is when they get some babe I really, really like. As to the comments on male performers, yes, some really are just unwatchable. It's more about the vibe and the dynamic of the scene than anything. Hell, Lex used to be a great performer, but now he's almost worthless. Try watching an old LT scene or Shorty Mac, or Julian St. Jox; it is hard to do.

By the way, Jessa is available for IR full time now, and I think she'd be great for this site. http://ocmodeling.com/model/jessa-rhodes/
How do you know he's more into gonzo style unscripted scenes? How many of those types of scenes has he done in comparison to how many BLACKED scenes he's done? The sample size seems far too small to come to any sort of conclusion, IMO.
That shot looks like the room is fully dark so they might be using a camera with a ring light attached to it. That's probably why the girl can't look at the camera directly at all times. Those led lights are bright and can be blinding.
Yes what you said right there is subjective... Whether anyone likes or dislikes them as performers is subjective.... Let's take a look though at what the majority feel subjectively though... What are Julio's scenes rated? Among the lowest easily right next to the robot Lowtru(Michael Williams)... So my opinion is among what the majority of BLACKED viewers seem to feel. What I said though to describe his performance isn't subjective... That's literally what it is, but it's fine if anyone likes it regardless.... I just don't want any exclusives or one timers to be with him in a scene... So I'm hoping Jaye Summers returns for another as well... Hopefully on BLACKEDraw and another for Marica Hase also. 😤
YES... same goes for scenes with more dudes than girls.... Get any female performer... Pairing her with multiple dudes will always be received worse than pairing her with multiple girls or equal number of girls and guys... Let's not get it twisted... The majority of viewers are still guys watching female performers or tuning in to see exclusives... The women are not costars.. They're the only stars of the scenes.

^^A popular opinion is still just an opinion, and we don't even know if the majority of Blacked's voting members are representative of the majority of Blacked's paying consumers. Hey, I like Julio, you don't. No problem there at all imo. We all have our opinions. Edited by - misspornUSA on 10/15/2017 12:15:40 PM
^^^ ^ A few of the things you stated didn't make any sense. Jaye Summers and Marica Hase weren't first timers. In fact, Julio was never matched with any first timers, so your fear of him 'wastnig' a scene with a first timer is nonsensical. Also, his ratings are not as low as Michael Williams' (who, btw, isn't rated among the lowest on BLACKED anyways). His scenes and their ratings are as follows: Alexa Grace (7.9), Marica Hase (7.7), Angel Smalls (8.1), Valentina Nappi (8.1), Charity Crawford and Jaye Summers (8.4). Those aren't bad ratings at all and not near the bottom. In fact, you can see his ratings actually increased as he became more used to the BLACKED shooting style and more experienced. He's also rated 7.6, which is 6th overall for male talent. Michael Williams is rated 5.4, which is 15th overall. Michael Williams' scenes and their ratings are as follows: Karla Kush (7.2), Ava Dalush (7.2), Alli Rae & Cadence Lux (7.0), Carter Cruise (6.5), Dakota James (7.3), Odette Delacroix (6.9), Chanel Preston & Jade Nile (7.2), Ember Stone (6.9), Kimberly Brix (7.7), Anny Aurora (7.0), Niki Snow & Trillium (7.2) and Natasha Nice (7.6). Julio's average scene rating is 8.0 and Michael Williams' is 7.1. Clearly not 'right next to each other.' Edited by - Gunslinger on 10/15/2017 12:36:23 PM
They're first timers for BLACKED... if I was talking about IR firsts I'd say exclusives.... They've each only been on BLACKED once.... They're first and only scenes being with Julio which were horrible imo. I'm not talking about his personal rating... I'm taking about the rating of his scenes... And compared with all the other guys(most other male performers) I mentioned he's the lowest right next to Michael Williams who guess what? Is no longer a Blacked male performer and hasn't been a good while.... That may be the case with Julio too although I know he's in some legal trouble as to why he's not on the site recently.
Yeah I understand we have a different opinion there.... I'm just trying to see if you get what I mean when I describe the issue I have with his performance and inability to fuck the girls effectively in the scene... It stands out pretty clearly from most the other performers on the site..... I'd say he and Davin King have this issue too although to a lesser extent... It's heavily noticeable in this upcoming scene with Hannah Hays... Just 😵

Girls look at the camera quite a bit in the new HushHush scenes, and those scenes are pretty much unwatchable.
They have many scenes outside of BLACKED and what makes you believe they will return? If you reread my post, you will see that I listed his and Michael's scene ratings, not just their personal ratings. And again, no, he is not. Scene ratings and personal rating actually have a direct correlation with each other and there are a lot of male performers who are lower rated than him (and also have lower average scene ratings). What does Michael Williams no longer shooting for BLACKED have to do with Julio? There are lower rated performers (with lower rated scenes) who still shoot for BLACKED. Unfortunately, for you, I think it's highly unlikely that Julio doesn't return to BLACKED after his legal issues are all cleared up. He seems to be extremely popular among the members and there are plenty of studios waiting in the wings to shoot him if BLACKED ever lets him go.

^^^^In the BlackedRaw trailer, several of the performers look directly into the camera, so you might as well give up hope now if that's a deal breaker for you.
Ok? What does them having many scenes outside of BLACKED have to do with what I said..... I'm obviously talking about BLACKED which has a different format than another sites...... They've only appeared once... Nothing,... That's why I've said hopefully they have another appearance. I said the scene ratings..... What other male performers have lower scene ratings than him after M Williams? That actually still even get scenes? If any? It likely does mean less people probably love his scenes as they're not highly rated... We have no idea if it correlates or not. It's clear we just disagree so we can leave it at that.
