Jade Luv has signed with LA Direct (and is listed as available for IR), so it appears her comeback is really happening. A scene on DarkX would be most welcome.

^Comeback from what? She has nothing listed in IAFD and she doesn't come up in the actor search here on ADT. Who is she?
I like the new direction this site has gone in with Avalon. I prefer scenarios/story-lines to the old tease/interview style. BLACKED actually had a similar transition early on as well as the brief period where a filter was used to make the scenes look darker (which I agree isn't great for IR since it diminishes the contrast). It's also nice to see Mason still shooting IR in her style over on HardX occasionally, so you get the best of both worlds so to speak.

^ She did a few others, but not for any major studios/sites of which I'm aware. Pornstar Camhouse comes to mind. Sadly it seems that announcement was a false alarm as she's no longer listed with LAD. She has teased a few returns that never materialized and backed out of a few other commitments, last year's Asianmodelpalooza, for instance, so this seems par for the course, though such a swift turnabout is little surprising.
Where did you hear it's just erotica now ? Or that's you just guessing.

^ Just take a look at the scenes released over the past couple weeks/months. From what I understand, all of the site's scenes are now James Avalon productions; I'm not at all familiar with this particular director, but he seems to have a reputation of leaning more towards erotica than gonzo in his work.
^ I do wonder if that will change with the announced membership consolidation. Obviously Avalon will stay on but now that all the various lines (DarkX, HardX, EroitcaX, and LesbianX) will be under one roof, perhaps Mason will feel more freedom to jump between them all.
^ That's what I'm hoping. Edit: Then again, her HardX IR scenes aren't /weren't that much different from her DarkX IR scenes, so on the combined site the difference would mostly be branding. Edited by - whatsatelephonebill on 6/10/2017 11:20:31 AM
I'm having a hard time collecting the covers for the DarkX DVDs. Thus far, I either own the DVDs or rented them from the rental place. But some titles from the beginning of the year, my rental place didn't carry, so I went the online rental route, but there I am unable to get a complete cover, especially the spine (on the brick-and-mortar-rental places, one can go home with the complete DVD case w/ cover art). I'm currently missing the spines for "Busty Interracial 2" "Interracial Teens 3" and "Her First Interracial 3" anyone can help me out? Btw: when will the Adriana Chechik gangbang scene find its way onto a DVD? Edited by - lex von v on 6/10/2017 4:17:30 PM

^ "Btw: when will the Adriana Chechik gangbang scene find its way onto a DVD?" LOL, that's right, that scene has never been released on a DVD. Well, considering that it was released on the site a year and a half ago and has never been put on a DVD, I think it's safe to say it will never be released on a DVD.

I hope the Brand blending will allow Mason to shoot more for the other sites. Avalon shoots like Blacked and BlackisBetter is his main competition whereas Mason shoots like Jules and Evil are the main competiton I could deal with the soft stuff if it wasnt so damn repetitive with the same basic trope storylines and characteristics. DarkX has yet to shoot more than one girl in a scene together. Mason used to do it all the time at Elegant I still suggest that if Mick and Manuel can come shoot for HardX as directors to lighten the load there, why not do the same with Darkx and ask the likes of Lex, Prince, LT direct their own gonzo work under the DarkX flag so Mason can hook them up with the hottest females and then have more time to shoot more high end DarkX projects?
^ That would depend on how their current contracts with their distributors are arranged. Lex has Evil, Prince has Jules, LT has Elegant, and I don't see what Mason / Mile High can offer them that their current distribution can't. What performers she would give them access to that they don't already have access to.

I'm actually curious to check out some of the Avalon-directed scenes once all the X-sites (HardX/EroticaX/DarkX/LesbianX) are available for the price of one. Yeah, I'm disappointed that Mason no longer produces content for DarkX, but some of the recent scenes still look pretty good.
I find this site boring. They just bring nothing new. Mostly same girls that shoot everywhere else with male talent that I don't like. Girls don't view darkx any difference than blacked. The difference is the paychecks that they are handing out. But this is what you get when you wont overpay the hottest fresh girls or holdout girls to shoot IR content.
^ they are up and down. They know they can bring in big names, and do on occasion, but now the focus is trying to find hidden gems but most of the time those are all flops. Just give me more Jada Stevens, Kelsi Monroe, Aj Applegate, Keisha Grey, and Chanel Preston and I'm good. I also notice that since Avalon took over full time, he's only shooting young male talent, I dont know if it's by design or what but as long as Mason keeps shooting Mandingo, Rico, Lex, and Jon Jon, with popular girls, with moderate anal scenes......I'm satisfied with the limited scenes at HardX
Isiah Maxwell is the male talent on 3 platforms this week. Teens Love Black Cock, Black is Better, and DarkX. This is fucking ridiculous he's not even talented but he is limp. Is this the only Black dude available? OVERUSED IS AN UNDER STATEMENT for this guy.
^^^ Funny fact , many actresses show a lot more passion with him than with any other black man , maybe this is why , besides some male talents are signed with some other company and are actually unavailable , some others went to Europe or even still are there , there aren't this many options out there

plenty of option out there. Directors need to wake up. and stop complaining. just start some scout campaign and they'll find a shit-ton of new black male performers take a tour on american-pornstar.com unknown guys with huge cocks 2000 times better than isiah and the limp dick brigade or the invisible popshot squad
^ A good performer is also someone who shows up when due and do this in time ,also they don't have to argue with the director or the cameraman , and must do what they are asked for , it's not just a big dick , you should try to wonder why some performers had a tour at main sites and have been dropped after just a few scenes , mind you not just one site it's all of them , they all dropped those. Furthermore you have to stay hard for hours every day. Do you really believe that those performers with maybe a scene or two per week can really be compared to someone who does 2 or sometimes even 3 scenes per day and this for months ? Think again
Completely agree about all the Isiah complaints. Even if he were an amazing performer who was able to stay hard throughout his scenes, he's still in like 20 scenes a week spanning all sites. I mean, people on BLACKED are constantly complaining about Jason when he has one scene in four updates and he's IMO the best black male talent right now period, so you can pretty much multiply that amount of frustration times 100 and you have Isiah.

^ Jason is signed with Blacked though, can't work with anybody else

Population of the United States 326,474,013 are you telling us it's hard to find 10 new black guys, good at work, on time, nice etc ? really? And by looking the last years American porn doesn't need/ want hard dick. all i see are limp dicks everywhere. i think directors are just lazy as fuck.
^ Believe it or not, not all 326 million Americans are Black, Men, or of legal age! And of course there's the issue with size. It's true that not all black men are well proportioned there, so those more average sized guys do exist even in the porn world. However, interracial porn is fetishized and size is definitely a factor, so by and large, those guys don't make the cut. Then you have to factor in all those behind the scenes factors that you mentioned, which isn't too common outside of porn, let alone a world as egocentric and filled with drug & alcohol abuse as the world of porn. And then they have to actually stay hard and perform! Plus there's the issue of pay. Male porn stars don't get paid much per scene compared to women. This usually doesn't matter because the men shoot more scenes and stay in the business longer. But for something like interracial porn, the scenes are usually far and few between as there are already plenty of veteran dudes willing and proven to do it. So for a burgeoning new black male porn star, unless they do it as a side-project, get wildly popular, or get a contract with a company, they'll probably just try to get a more stable job instead. Or they can do gay porn but that's not for everyone. It's a complicated situation and the truth of the matter is that there are still a lot of black male talent waiting to get the call, but by and large, if the guys you have meet all the criteria you're setting out, why get those dudes instead?

I've pointed that out elsewhere in the forums. I'm quite happy to see Isiah booked so often and it seem likely that he's established a good reputation for himself in the industry, but it's simply not true that he and just a few others make up the entirety of the black male talent pool. It seems to me that most of the black guys in the industry only get minimal work. Surely, some of the rarely seen guys are reliable and are available for more bookings.
^ have to re-iterate this point, professionalism, reliability, and the effort to actually want to work in the industry are why 326 million people aren't in the industry. In addition, if the girl doesnt have chemistry, the scene will be wasted. Isaiah has been popular, he really has no negatives, yes he has a curve to his member but the girls can work him and rarely have to struggle with him. And there are only so many guys available but everyone has a flaw: Mandingo: robot, Lex: broken down, Ricky Johnson: too light skin, Prince: too theatrical, Rico: too fat - this is all I see most of the time these names get brought up We're talking like 15 dudes max, Moe, John Johnson, Jax, Flash, Dredd, Jason(under contract) and other small timers like Scorpio and Siimpoke Julio is on the shelf, Charlie Mac is in Europe, Wesley Pipes retired, Jack Napier had a terrible car accident, Jovan Jordan retired. Diesel and Michaels are too old, Nat and Jon Jon are considered too small I dont get where all this fresh new reliable talent is supposed to come from, nor who is the current black male above enough significant criticism

^There are guys on BrothaLovers, and other small IR sites, who show up hardly anywhere else or nowhere else, and there's other talent who I rarely or never see outside of Dogfart's gangbangs. Maybe a few of those guys are capable. Personally, I'd like to see Isiah continue working as much as he is now, but I don't think that he's the only real choice that directors have. You mentioned Jason Brown, and he's a wonderful example of a very capable talent who only got limited work outside of Dogfart until Greg Lansky recognized his abilities and signed him. If it wasn't for Greg, Jason probably would still be stuck in the same situation he was in before, and all the while we would hear about how directors don't have many options.
What company will that be? IMO, he's up there with Jason in terms of great all-around talent contracted to singular sites. Also, there's way more than 15 black male performers right now. BangBros has been using a ton recently. Jason Stone, Jay, John Long, Macana Man, etc. American-Pornstar uses a lot of guys. LegalPorno, Dogfart, etc. There's probably 50+ active guys right now at least, it's just that the vast majority of the work goes to Isiah, Jax, Ricky, Prince, Dredd and Mandingo.
I guess some people are into the Black freaks with the abnormal dicks paired with 87 pound women. Who wants to see Gomez fuck Perri Piper up the ass...that's sick. I don't get it.
