GayDemon's review of Raw Rods

Raw Rods features very hot amateur black men barebacking. We're talking athletic ebony hunks with great bodies and big cocks, or slender athletic dark skinned amateurs. The small screenshots for each episode, as well as the descriptions, make the action look very promising. Non-members can preview every episode, seeing not only the men but also the video sizes and formats, and the join page promises downloadable HD videos, regular updates and no DRM. Sound good? Then join me for a closer look at Raw Rods!

The member home page is simple and easy to use. Navigation links run across the top of the page, and below them are 15 thumbs, each linking to an episode. These are the 15 most recent updates, although you can reset them so you can browse by member ratings. While there are no dates showing, there are currently 86 updates, which is 73 more than there were almost exactly 2 years ago. That's not quite an update a week - more like one every 10 or 11 days

The Raw Rods videos are available in both WMV and either Quicktime or MP4 formats. The biggest and best is the large WMV, shown at 1280x720 with bitrates up to 5 Mbps. These are good amateur quality or better, and go full screen with ease. The newer videos are offered in 2 sizes of MP4, the larger of which is shown at 854x480 at bitrates a bit over 3 Mbps, and these look good. The streaming videos are shown at 480x270, and while they're not that big, they're good quality and play smoothly. Both formats are available in at least 1 smaller size, and there are DRM-free downloadable versions of each video.

Each video comes with a set of pics. These are vidcaps, although they're not bad for vidcaps. Each photo is shown at 700x394,and each shoot has enough pics to get you into the action. They can not only be viewed as a gallery but downloaded in zip files if you find some sets you like. A few episodes' pics were fairly dark, but even so they were pretty good quality for vidcaps - the only issue seemed to be the lighting.

The guys here are definitely hot, and mostly between 19 and 26, with a few in their late twenties or early thirties. All the performers are black, some dark skinned and some light, and all hard-bodied. Expect lots of enthusiastic sucking, rimming and fucking, all without condoms. The men here are the same men found in some of this studio's other sites, and that's a good thing, because they're definitely hot as hell. Something I liked is that there are profiles of all the models telling their ages, height, cock size, whether they're straight, gay or bi and whether they're a top, bottom or versatile.

Does the site have any issues? Well, there's the one I briefly mentioned - there are no dates on the updates and no way to know exactly when or how often they occur. One other issue I ran into is that when I tried to download several videos at once, the site did allow it, but the download speeds slowed to a crawl - slow enough that it might be faster to download the vids one at a time.

If you love watching big black cocks pound tight ebony asses with no condoms, Raw Rods delivers. The men are well-built and very horny, the action is hot and condom-free, and the best-quality videos are in high definition and are downloadable. The site has grown in the last two years so there are 86 episodes, 73 more than last visit which averages an update every week and a half. If you'd like to watch black men barebacking in exclusive videos and pics, Raw Rods is definitely worth checking out.
