Black Encounter
site reviews > Black men > Black Encounter
Black Encounter offers exclusive content of black men from Africa. While the tour refers to them as pornstars, I suspect these are in reality very attractive amatur men. I really wanted to see more of the models so I logged right into the site without any hesitation. In the member area, you'll find the menu running down the left side of the page. Although there are many links, only 1 links to actual content - Private Gallery. There are plenty of links in addition, and we'll go into some in a minute, but for now be aware that the link to Home takes you to the tour, not the member lounge. There is site news on the right side of the page but first let's check out the Black Encounter content.
There are currently 39 pic sets inside Black Encounter, and I must say that the models in these shoots are mostly hunky and horny. Each model is listed with a thumb and the date his set was added to the site. When you click on a model, you are taken to his page where you will find his profile, a description of him, a place to rate or comment on the model, a place to read others' comments and the thumbs. There's also a link if you'd prefer to view the pics in a slideshow and if that set comes with a video, there's a link to it.
The pics are mostly well lit and more sets are shot outdoors than in. All but a couple sets are solo guys and the pics are shown at 700x933 and are pretty sharp and clear. One weird thing about the photos is that each is presented on a webpage that has numbers on it, each leading to that pic in the same set. I didn't find this useful since there's no way to know what pic 54 looks like from a number so after each pic, I went back to the gallery by closing the new window spawned for each pic.
One other thing worth mentioning about the photos is that although I was able to save them, each saved as a bitmap rather than a jpg, and I had to name every photo as I saved it. Too bad that Black Encounter didn't offer each pic set as a zip file.
Most of the first two pages of photo listings have videos as well, and I found one listed on the third page. The vids are listed just above the thumbs on the galleries. Unfortunately there's no way to know which sets have videos and which don't without clicking on each gallery so this is what I attempted to do. Due to some slowness of the site, I had a little trouble but I'd say there are around 18 or 19 videos at this time.
The movies are WMVs, most offered as a full scene but a few broken into 2 or 4 clips. Each video is shown at a screen size of 320x240 with a streaming speed of around 524k and are good amateur quality. I wish they were bigger, but they look good although if you enlarge to 200%, you will notice a loss of quality.
The videos can be streamed or downloaded and some are definite keepers. The videos play smoothly and the sound is good but in some videos - shot outdoors by a stream or waterfall - all you can hear clearly is running water. There are also some interesting camera angles. In one video, we are watching a gorgeous muscular black dude stroking his cock and they change to an overhead shot, which gave a new view of his hands and his cock.
The site says that the models are african. Some of the outdoor scenes start off with the guys dressed like african warriors but I found myself wondering how authentic these outfits - well, loincloths - were. In any case, all the guys show off their beautiful, athletic black bodies and their huge hard cocks and the camera and video camera offer plenty of closeups and medium shots so we can enjoy them. Not all the videos or pic sets inside Black Encounter include cumshots, although more do than don't.
In addition to the pics and videos, Black Encounters members get access to 2 games and personal ads. The personal ads are interesting to read but there are no pics. There is also chat, which one is required to download software to take part in. There are also links to Yahoo Groups, a link page and Black Market (a DVD store).
The main issue I had with Black Encounter is the navigation. The menu could be more informative and easier to use and there's no way to know which models' pic sets come with videos. Also I don't see the point of join links being offered to members. There is a JOIN NOW baner on the left side of almost every page of the member area. I also found the site to be just a little on the slow side - sometimes I barely noticed while other times it became inconvenient. When I attempted to click on all the models, it definitely slowed me down, though.
There are some strange thing here. The site seems to offer mobile access or it may only be live chat with the models. Of course, it could be only text chat. But the most unusual thing here is the My Friends program. In addition to their standard 1 and 2 month membership options, if you choose a more expensive membership option, you can invite 4 friends to join the site for free. get access to bonus sites and you get a free DVD.
Black Encounter has some really hot videos of black men stroking their cocks and a couple hardcore episodes, as well. Most of the men are very masculine with dark skin, lean muscular bodies and huge cocks. The pics and videos are good amateur quality and the site updates without a particular schedule, but it does update. When it hadn't updated in a while once, they gave a big update to make up for it. All navigation and other issues aside, the men of Black Encouter and the content is well worth a look!
Things we liked:
- Exclusive content
- Good looking muscular black men
- Videos are downloadable
- No DRM used
Things we didn't like:
- Videos on small side
