Raw Rods Review

Raw Rods is a site from the studio who brings us Coco DormThugBoy and Papi Cock, and this one features hot and horny Black studs and thugs in dirty bareback action. There's a nice variety of models from Ebony twinks to more beefy and rough types. Most of the guys are in their twenties, but you will find some men up to 40 years of age. Skin tones are mixed from dark coffees and chocolates to light caramels and everything in between, and a good number of the performers have nice big cocks. The brothas, as Raw Rods calls them, are mostly good looking with slender to athletic bodies, as well as some who are well-built and muscled. A lot of them have tattoos, some with a rough look and attitudes to match. Some of the guys are gay, but you will find straight and bisexual performers.

The guys are mix of regular porn performers, first-timers, and newcomers. Some of them are amateurs who do a scene and disappear, others like DeAngelo Jackson, Ricky Royal, Vic Valentino, Day Day, and Giovanni Cruz appear in multiple videos. Each guy is listed at the bottom of each of his scenes with links to his profile page where you'll find stats and more of his appearances. You'll also find all the guys listed in the Models section in alphabetical order, and you can re-sort them in order of appearance. 

Most of the action here is raw duos, but there are a few threesomes, as well as a handful of solos. You can expect guys sucking lots of big Black dicks, and these Ebony studs love eating ass, too. There's plenty of condom-free fucking including deep, hard pounding. The content is exclusive, although this company makes a habit of sharing their content across their network of seven sites so I can't guarantee you won't see these scenes elsewhere. The models, however, aren't exclusive, so you will probably recognize some of the Raw Rods models from other sites. For example, Day Day, Hotrod, and Domino Star have worked for other gay porn studios.

Raw Rods offers 446 videos in MP4 format. The newest scenes come in two downloadable sizes at 1920x1080 and 1280x720, and the not-quite-so-new scenes at 1280x720 and 854x480. The oldest scenes also offer a third size at 480x270. If you prefer, you can stream the videos in an adaptive player as large as 1900x938 if you have a large monitor, and they'll also play on your mobiles; the videos resize automatically to fit your screen. There's a full-screen option, and the largest sizes fare best. Video quality varies with some sharper than others, but overall I'd say the movies are good amateur quality, and the action is captured very well with lots of different camera angles and close-ups.

Each episode comes with a set of pictures. Some sets contain good amateur quality digital stills sized at about 700x1050 or 700x469, while others offer decent screencaps at 700x394, and some sets have a mix of both. Regardless, the pics show off the guys and the action well, although the screencaps can be a little repetitious at times, and the odd set could have better lighting. The pics are offered in galleries, and you can save them individually or download whole sets in zip files. Watermarks are a little on the large side but rarely covered anything I wanted to see.

Besides the video and pictures, every RawRods episode comes with a juicy scene description and model profiles with some stats including age, relationship status, body measurements, preferences, and cock size. Members and non-members get a desktop calendar each month featuring the Raw Rods models, and these calendars come in a wide variety of sizes that should match any screen from older smart phones to high-resolution monitors.

While this site claims to update twice weekly, they have been recycling some of their updates for quite a while, and as of this visit, they still are. The six latest updates are all recycled from years gone by; I did a little digging, and one of the Holiday updates was first added to the site three years ago, but it's dated a few days ago. Recycling updates also explains why there are less videos now than there were six months ago, as recycling involves removing some videos, then adding them back later as "new" updates. 

There are a few more things about RawRods worth mentioning. First, there's a pre-checked offer on the billing page, but it's easy enough to uncheck if you're not interested. There's a notification pop-up on the tour encouraging you to subscribe to notifications, but keep in mind that the notifications could pop up at any time, even when your mother or boyfriend is using your computer. Last, while not an issue, be aware that there are links at the page bottoms to several other sites run by this company, but these aren't included in your membership.

Raw Rods delivers horny Black men including amateurs, hunks, twinks, and thugs in hardcore bareback action. There's lots to see here with a good variety of performers, many well hung, in 446 videos to download, stream, and watch on your mobiles, and each has a matching photo set. The site's most recent updates are actually videos that were removed from the site and are now added again with new update dates, but there's still a lot here to enjoy. There aren't a lot of all-Black, male bareback sites, and in spite of the issues, Raw Rods is still one of the better ones. It's definitely worth checking out.
