review of Dominic Ford, 2010-07-29

Dominic Ford has 3 things that stood out for me this visit. One is lots of pornstars and well-known performers, like Arpad Miklos, Matthew Rush, Manuel Torres, Blu Kennedy and Vinnie D'Angelo, another is their brand new and improved site design - and of course, in addition to their regular gay porn videos, this site offers 3-D videos.

Dominic Ford doesn't have a dedicated member area - instead surfers and members can browse the same pages, although only members can access the content. The content can be found in the MOVIES section and also from the model index. Each video is listed by date with a big thumb, name of the performers and links to the episode, the 2D and 3D versions of each vid. The site adds a new video weekly each Thursday.

There are currently 77 exclusive videos inside Dominic Ford. All of them are available as normal videos (called 2D on the site), and 58 of the vids are offered in 3-D, as well. All the videos are offered in HD called Large in Quicktime at 960x540 with a bitrate of around 2.1 Mbps. These videos are good quality even at full screen, and play smoothly from your harddrive. Many of the newer vids are also offered in what the site refers to as FULL HD, and are shown at 1920x1080 at approx 4 Mbps. Each video comes in 1 smaller size of Quicktime as well as versions for your iPod offered in M4V format. For those who don't feel like downloading the videos, both standard and 3D videos are offered in good sized streaming Flash at average or a little below average quality. These can be watched as full scenes or "chapters".

Each video comes with 2 sets of pics - a set of digital stills and a set of vidcaps. The pic sets range from around 12 to over 50 photos, and the digital stills are small, shown at 265x400 at good amateur quality in a Flash-powered gallery that is shown on the video page. Below the digital stills on the same page is a set of screencaps, which are shown at 720x400. You can choose to browse either 2D or 3D versions of the pics.

Now let me tell you about the 3-D porn experience - it's cool. The 3-D videos and pics really do pop after your eyes take a moment to adjust to the glasses. The models seem right there in front of you rather than flat on the video screen or page. After a minute, you really get into what you're watching, the almost touchable curve of a firm ass or hairy thigh. Those hard cocks look like they're close enough to suck on. And penetration is like you're right there in the room. Overall, I'd say that 3-D is a great technology for porn.

Something else I want to let you know is that Dominic himself was very willing to make some of the changes suggested to him to improve the site, and his customer service is fast and friendly. He's made some more improvements this time, and it seems like this site is dedicated to moving forward.

It's worth mentioning that memberships here include a pair of 3D glasses that arrive in the mail. One month and three month memberships come with a single pair but receive another free pair if their membership lasts six months. Six month and one year memberships memberships come with 2 pairs of 3D glasses, at least one plastic pair. You can also buy addtional glasses, and remember that every video is also available in normal non-3D versions so you can watch them before your glasses arrive.

Dominic Ford offers hot hardcore and jackoff action in exclusive downloadable videos. There are some hot models, some name pornstars, and all 77 videos can be watched in standard while 58 are available in 3D, as well. The large videos are good quality HD Quicktime videos and there are smaller formats, as well - and some of the newer videos are in spectacularly large HD. Weekly updates keep this site growing, and navigation is a breeze, with no misleading links. If you're looking for something really different, and very hot, you won't want to miss the 3-D videos and pics at Dominic Ford!
