I am signing-up with DarkX to see Angel Smalls and Pristine Edge. 1st time interracial has a certain alluring appeal for me. There are many attractive models out there who would love to appear on DarkX. Building a healthy competition with Blacked.com and others is where it resonates with many IR purveyors. Landing such models as Lily Rader, Lizzie Bell, Naomi Woods, etc. would be a strong selling point.
Me personally I don't care to see a ton of Mandingo on the site, I get using him as girls firsts to make it more of an event. But he doesn't add anything in terms of passion. Hope to see you guys working with Rob Piper and Moe "the monster" Johnson, also wouldn't mind seeing you guys give new comers Ricky Johnson and Stallion some work as well @PornDynasty Edited by - Dre AKA Nigsquid on 11/6/2015 2:17:38 AM

Mason, call Mandingo and Lex more often for this new site. I would love to watch ANAL stuff with their BBC
^ She hasn't even worked with a male performer that isn't her boyfriend yet. Once she does that, then I'll start putting her on the radar for stuff like this.
From the trailers I see that Darkx is another gonzo site with only fucking and no plots so unfortunately I'll pass from this site.I think Blacked is way better with their scenes.
Make a SPLASH! Get girls to do it who people have been clamoring for to do IR along with the girls who love doing IR and give great performances. My list would be: IR 5 STAR Performers: Keisha Grey Abella Danger Maddy O Reilly Kelsi Monroe Jada Stevens Valentina Nappi AJ Applegate Aria Alexander Katrina Jade Annika Albrite Mandy Muse Proxy Paige Casey Calvert Riley Reid Remy LaCroix Chanel Preston Allie Haze Aidra Fox Abagail Mac Girls People Are Dying To See Do IR: (Need to keep acquiring girls from this list to keep people waiting for "Who's Next?" Mia Malkova Nicole Aniston Alexis Texas Bonnie Rotten Karlee Grey Gracie Glam JOSIE JAGGER Guilliana Alexis GIANNA NICOLE LUNA STAR Christy Mack (Triple Longshot) Cassidy Banks Rachel Starr EVA LOVIA Rachel Midori Blondie Fesser Peta Jensen Veronica Rose Alby Rydes Ariana Marie Jynx Maze Shae Summers SELENA SANTANA I feel like dropping great performances by the 5 Star IR girls, in combination by giving us some IR debuts from the second list sprinkled in would make DarkX super successful, esp with the way Mason shoots. Man, I wish I could be a consultant for them lol. Edited by - iBrand0nX on 11/6/2015 11:08:51 AM Edited by - iBrand0nX on 11/6/2015 12:10:53 PM

Judging by the trailers the scenes are looking all well made. Camera, lightning..top notch as always. But I am not yet convinced by the content. It's way too soon to whine about missing anals scenes but I hope DarkX doesn't become a new blacked.com. The other thing I don't like so far is the male cast. I am cool with Prince and Rico and sometimes with Mandingo but Isiah Maxwell is not credible IMO. Watched the Veronica Avluv trailer and sorry, but he doesn't have a single drop of blood in his dick. Like I said everthing looks so high class and than there a already three with a guy without any sign of a erection. That doesn't fit IMO. Guess I have to wait a couple of months and see how it develops.

^I realize that I forgot to mention Megan Rain. I definitely want to see her on the site, especially if it's an anal scene or more.

I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out in Riley Reid's thread, but her trademark Chinese lettering back (spine) tattoo was covered up in her Dark X scene. Not a problem for me, although, I am surprised to see that Mason is apparently going to do "tattoo coverups" for Dark X scenes.
Huh? Your impression isn't accurate at all. There's only a couple true gonzo scenes, the rest have plots/scenarios. You must have missed at least half of them, but they are definitely setting up most scenes with plots. Allie Haze goes in for a massage. Cherie Deville has an affair with her physical trainer. Remy's dad owes a debt and Rico comes to collect. Look at how adorable her reaction is when she first sees him. And that scene with Angel Smalls, "The Only BBC For His Angel" is an ironic twist on the cheating girl theme. The trailer reveals she actually cheated on Jon Jon with another BBC, or another brotha anyway. So Jon Jon is going to have to lay it down and remind her why she has to stay loyal to him. Some of the scenarios are more passionate, some serious, and some are more playful, e.g. Piper's "Getting Over Her Fear of Heights" If anything, the truth appears the opposite of what you suggest, that there is in fact a distinct lack of gonzo. I am hopeful that gonzo isn't totally abandoned and we can still get some of Mason's voiceover as she directs. I enjoy her commentary, enthusiasm and creativity. It lends well to gonzo because it's spontaneous. A great recent example was the Piper Perri scene in Little Blondes Go Black. I also enjoy her interviews with the talent, both before and after a great scene. Mason has a great rapport with performers. And something about her energy translates to great performances.

^ +1 As great as all the current scenes look, I'd really like to see more of the "straight up" gonzo scenes, like Sara Luvv's. I haven't watched every trailer, but as of right now, is Sara's scene the only gonzo one on the site thus far?
This is why I am hopeful that they still include some gonzo scenes. I suspect that the motion to obscure a famous star's (Rileys) tattoos is because in these narrative scenes with plots, they are trying to sell the illusion that these aren't porn stars but characters. I understand this and I also like this. However, I also like gonzo scenes, and I like a lot of really hot performers who do have tattoos (e.g. Dollie Darko). By still including the occasional gonzo scene, I don't think there's any reason for them to try and hide tattoos or be averse to hiring chicks with ink. One area I feel like Blacked is shooting themselves in the foot is in this tattoo-aversion inhibition. This I would think should be a great advantage for DarkX if they don't share this silly inhibition. Where Blacked falls short, that's where DarkX or others should take advantage. Mason is supremely gifted with gonzo. By now she could probably smash a gonzo scene out of the park in her sleep. I like hearing her interact with the performers on the fly. I would actually like to see her interview Dollie and even go over her tattoos and talk about them. Dollie is still new to me and I think this could be a good opportunity for DarkX to stand out. Kink.com had great success by posting the interviews Maitresse conducts with their talent. These don't have to be in-depth 60 Minutes style interviews, but just casual and fun.
^^ Karlee Grey's is as well. Like Sara's, it will be featured on DarkX's first DVD Her First Interracial. So it seems to me there are two possibilities: 1. The site will be a mix of story-based and gonzo scenes. or: 2. Sara and Karlee's scenes were originally shot for HardX and have been brought over to DarkX to help fill out the site's starting content. I hope it's the first. Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 11/6/2015 4:03:05 PM
I think it is. They must have shot that before they knew what direction to take with the narrative scenarios. I am guessing they got a bigger budget and decided they could do plots. In any case, I think they are doing a great job. Hopefully they become successful enough to update 5 or 6 times a month and can include gonzo scenes now and then. I think it should be easier to produce gonzo, because they don't have to do so many takes and precise editing. So I would be totally in favor of some classic gonzo scenes that could help bump up the update frequency.

Having seen some the previews and now the Riley news, I conclude the following: Covering Tattoos - Check Overly Bright Scenes - Check Formulaic Scene Structure - Check So the only difference to Blacked is that not every star is a bleached out blonde? This is beneath the standard Mason has set for herself. Easy pass. Silicone Is Evil, Razors Aren't Much Better Edited by - FlacFan on 11/6/2015 4:30:40 PM

I'd like to see Chloe Amour in another IR scene. Aidra Foxx too. For newbies, I'm very interested in Cyrstal Rae at the moment. And Eva Lovia would be a great get, once her DP contract is up. I'm guessing they won't shoot her first. Thanks, site looks great so far, especially Karlee's and Sara's scenes. Put them together like they requested on Twitter :) Cyrstal Rae Edited by - however on 11/6/2015 5:58:58 PM

I'm not a tattoo fan so I don't really have a problem with them covering them up or editing them out or not casting heavily tattooed girl at all, but it does seem odd to me to do that with the female performers but not the male performers - Jon Jon and Rico, for example. The one thing I didn't like was the somewhat threatening line Jon Jon said to Angel Smalls in that preview - it was a little hard to hear, but it was something like, "Don't ever let me catch you doing that again." Having just read about Greg Hardy's domestic abuse case, which stemmed in part from him having heard his GF had been seen with another man, I find that to be very distasteful. I hope DarkX will avoid that type of storyline in the future. Thanks.
I also agree with others who have said they want more of the scenes to be gonzo oriented. Like I said before, I like how the scenes have more varied positions and camera angles than Blacked but still Blacked has that storyline driven style covered. We need a good high end gonzo style IR site. But anyway another girl I'll like to see on DarkX is Brooklyn Rose

^ ^ LOL at your first point about the tats on the guys-I've always found it ironic that Blacked tries so hard to coverup the tats on the girls, but yet the male performers that they're working with are typically covered in tats but the director is not interested in covering up their ink work. As for you second point, my response is: . Sorry, but I think people sometimes take this shit, gonzo porn, way too seriously. The politically correct-driven complaints about some scenes is silly, especially in this instance, where you're comparing the plot of a gonzo porn scene to a hideous, real life domestic violence incident. Edited by - Mass Facialties on 11/6/2015 11:35:52 PM
Just my thought on the issue of tattoos. It has always been more culturally acceptable for men to have tats than for women. Just look at how many guys who served in the military who have tats that no one gives a second thought. While this has changed to some degree, there are a lot of guys who do not find tats on women (varies from wanting none at all, to only be opposed to many tats or a few very large ones) to be attractive.

^ Respectfully disagree. While it seems different, most of the girls are seen to be coerced, cheating on a boyfriend and in some scenes dominated. Now that isn't a bad thing, but it's in the same vibe as dogfart, it's just got a different set designer and is a bit more refined, the attitude is largely the same. Still, it's a hilarious double standard that the guys can be tatted up but the girls have to appear to be as virginal as possible, which is of course another stereotype.

^Black men aren't portrayed as thugs in Blacked's scenes. I'm not saying that they're necessarily depicted positively, just that they're not depicted as thugs. I've written on more than one thread more than once that Blacked is an IR fetish site, as is Dogfart, etc.
Eh, I think we should steer the conversation away from the tropes IR porn typically traffics in, and get the focus back on DarkX. The former conversation has a tendency to devolve into the, "Is IR porn racist?" debate that seems to get rehashed on this forum ad infinitum. Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 11/6/2015 6:19:01 PM

+1 Why do that? If you want to compete with blacked do what they won't. And discriminated against great performers just because they have tattoos is lame.
I completely agree. If DarkX follows the casting pattern of Blacked I'll be better off saving my money.

As stunning as this might be for you, I actually agree with you here. Whether we're talking about the sex positions, camera angles or even the "type" of girl cast in their scenes, a lot of Blacked's content comes off as "cookie cutter"; or simply put, we see the same thing in scene after scene. Along with some content that's more "gonzo" than Blacked, I expect Dark X to implement different camera angles and sex positions that we rarely, if ever, see on Blacked. With all that being said, I'm a fan of Blacked nonetheless, having purchased several monthly memberships to the site since its inception. Just because there's Dark X now doesn't mean I suddenly view Blacked as "chopped liver."
I'm hoping to see more discussing the content of DarkX soon. So far it's been a lot of talk but I don't think anyone here has taken a look yet. I'll probably go for the 3-month pass when I get some extra dough. Normally I would just do a trial or 1 month, but I'm confident in Mason and co.

Also, just so people are aware, this isn't the first time Mason has covered up Riley's tattoos. I'm slightly surprised that they did it, but I want to wait a little bit longer before I declare the site as "tattoo-phobic", especially since we don't actually know how long ago that scene was shot. She could have originally conceived/pitched the site as more of a Blacked clone and shot that scene early on, but changed the direction of the site while shooting the others. Also, with Veronica Avluv already on the site and Julia Ann announced, they've already going to have as many MILF scenes as Blacked has released in over a year, and I'm happy to see that as well. Would love to see India Summer shoot for Mason in general, and this site would be as good as any other for that.
