The tour of Ebony Knights shows a nice selection of hung black men sucking each others' cocks and fucking ass. The variety of guys looks good judging from the preview - there are muscle hunks, black thugs, amateurs and a nice selection of other hot and horny types. The site promises exclusive content, daily updates, access to 54 bonus sites plus some less specific claims. It's been a while since we last reviewed Ebony Knights, so join me as I log in and take a closer look!
When you log in, you'll find yourself looking at the 21 most recent video updates, each listed with the date added, performer names linked to their pages and an action thumb that changes when you mouse over it. Ebony Knights currently offers 328 videos, 150 more than there were 4 years ago. Each a scene from one of 82 DVD titles.
The site adds several full scenes most days, although once in a while a day or two is skipped, but that still averages more than 1 scene per day. There are video sorting options at the top of the page, and the menu on the left followed by a network search box and linked thumbs to 3 of the guys live at a live cam site, although be aware that the cam site requires payment for action or 1 on 1.
The videos are offered in 4 sizes of MP4 format that can be streamed or downloaded. The largest and best quality downloadable versions are better than they were on our last visit. They're shown at 640x480 with a bitrate of around 2.1 Mbps. Quality varies from average to pretty good, the new videos being a bit higher quality than the older ones. The HQ streaming vids are shown at average quality or a bit higher at about 710x536. There are 3 low quality options available or you can let the site automatically choose your speed. All the videos are full scenes.
Ebony Knights has stars you'll recognize like Gene Lamar, J.C. Carter and Anthony Gallo as well as some horny black amateurs who know how to keep it hard. Most of the action here is hardcore, so expect plenty of big ebony cocks getting sucked and assholes getting pounded. There are some masturbation videos, as well, for those who love watching black studs jerking off. Production values and lighting vary from video to video
Full members get access to 53 bonus sites. Of those sites, 16 are gay, 1 is bi and 1 tranny - the rest are a variety of straight sites. There are also 100 network bonus sites listed on the left as "Network Channels", but only 4 of these are gay sites. They are pretty interesting niches as they include a cumswap site, gay creampies, guys with sex toys and DILFs.
Here's the issues I felt are worth noting. There's a pre-checked offer (cross sale) on the join page on the right. Next, the low cost trial recurs at a full $15 more than the cost of a regular monthly membership. According to the site terms, trial members may not get full access to all content and site features. I didn't find any exclusive content inside the site as claimed on the tour - all the videos are from DVD's. And this is just nitpicking, the site skips a day or 2 with updates, although most days more than one video is added, so you can expect more than 12 new full scenes every week.
Two more things. First, all content here is the same as on another of their sites, Black Gangstaz. Second, when I logged in yesterday, there were 328 movies and 82 DVD titles. Today a new DVD and several scenes were added, yet there are still 328 videos and 82 DVD's. It appears that the site rotates content out when new content is added, but since there are over 300 videos and as you can save the ones you like, you won't miss out.
Ebony Knights has a good sized collection of black men getting off in hardcore videos. The videos are average quality, available in speeds, DRM-free and downloadable. The site updates close to every day with several scenes, but once in a while a day or 2 gets skipped, which still adds up to over 40 videos added each month. There are currently 328 videos, although it appears that old videos are removed when new ones are added. Full members also get access to a good amount of gay bonus sites and tons of straight content. If you're looking for exclusive content, this may not be the site for you, but if all sorts of ebony guys in hardcore and jerkoff action turns you on, Ebony Knights is worth a visit.
Things we liked:
- Black men only in hardcore gay action
- All videos are downloadable
- No DRM used
- Frequent updates
- Can do 4+ simultaneous downloads
Things we didn't like:
- Pre-checked offer on join page
- Trial recurs at $15 more than cost of normal monthly membership
- Limited trial memberships
- It appears old vids are removed when new ones are added
- Same content as their other site, Black Gangstaz
