XFreeHD Casting Porn Tube
As you can see from the ratings, XFreeHD is an extremely high-quality porn site with only one real “flaw”– and even that only matters to some people. In fact, having a disappointing level of interactivity only really impacts a small percentage of porn viewers and still doesn’t impact the actual viewing experience.
However, what XFreeHD gets right are the things that everyone looks for in their porn viewing experience: a good connection, a large library, and a well-designed site. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt that XFreeHD offers some of the harder-to-find vids out there– though, as with most sites, that can be a bit hit-or-miss.
That said, if XFreeHD stands out above even some of their more accomplished contemporaries, it’s in the casting department. Casting videos tend to be some of the more highly sought after as well as some of the more difficult to find– especially in good quality– but XFreeHD has more than enough to keep your hands far from being idle.
First Impressions
XFreeHD doesn’t do all that much different than most of your other porn sites out there, but there are a couple of design choices that are nice quality-of-life features. For one, the website loads with a blinding white background, but you have the option to switch the display to a dark mode.
However, outside of the display, XFreeHD also stands a bit for not being anywhere near as cluttered as many of its larger competitors. Built more like a smaller website, XFreeHD has a list of links at the top for full navigation, a sidebar of categories to the right, and three sections of video groupings: vids being watched by country, popular vids, and new vids (new based on the upload, not the release)
Content
Quality
This is really where XFreeHD makes its bread and butter with a catalog that may not be quite as large as some of the biggest players in the game but can more than make up for it in terms of quality. Sure, the “Hubs” and the “Tubes” are liable to have a much larger database of videos for you to watch.
However, many, if not most, of those videos come in the form of shorter clips that may or may not show you that part of the video you want to see. On top of that, for most of the largest databases, the vast majority are also lower than HD– even 720p HD– which can make you feel like you’re watching porn from a time machine in the past.
Keep in mind that even a lot of XFreeHD’s videos come in SD and/or clip form, but a surprising number of them– more than half– play in one form of HD format or another. The same thing applies to clips, except more so, with well over half of the videos offered being full rips of the video.
To Register or Not To Register
On the other hand, the video studios are where XFreeHD’s content offering gets a little iffy with both good and bad points working for and against its favor. Essentially, XFreeHD is almost like a personal porn repository in some ways with the uploader having complete control over who gets to see the video.
For older videos or videos from smaller studios, this generally doesn’t present a problem, but newer videos and bigger studios don’t fare quite as well. Keep in mind that none of this has to do with XFreeHD the site and everything to do with whether or not the video’s uploader sets the vid to “public” or “private.”
If the uploader sets the video to private, then you generally need to be “friends” with the uploader– something that depends on why the uploader posted the vid in the first place. For some uploaders, they’re more than happy to friend a registered user and allow access to their high-quality finds.
However, other uploaders use XFreeHD as their own personal data storage and don’t interact with the community that much. In these instances, it can be maddeningly frustrating to see the video you want to watch essentially held behind a wall with no way to access it.
One thing that can help is registering for XFreeHD as many of the private videos are open to people with an account. This is likely a protective measure to help prevent bots from scanning the site and flagging copyrighted material. In this instance, signing up is probably a good idea as it doesn’t cost anything and opens up access to a lot more content.
Studios
Another thing to keep in mind is that XFreeHD is an amazing resource for those looking for vids made by smaller sites or certain niche sites. Casting videos top this list with more than half a dozen sites' newest videos available– though, you’ll likely have to wait a month or a few before someone uploads an HD version.
Still, being able to find NVG studios and other vids from difficult-to-find studios with exclusively (or mostly) online content is a major benefit. Conversely, major studios like Brazzers or Evil Angel will be a bit more difficult to – at least, in the public section. However, the ones available and even the ones behind a wall are generally HD.
Other
While it’s not necessarily uncommon and certainly isn’t the biggest draw, for those who prefer photosets, XFreeHD has you covered. However, you shouldn’t go to this site looking for the same breadth of options that you would find with videos and this applies doubly when talking about private collections.
Connectivity
If the content is XFreeHD’s biggest draw, then the website’s connectivity might just be its best. For starters, the site supports videos for every resolution up to 1080p and has plenty of vids that play at the highest resolution setting. Unfortunately, XFreeHD doesn’t yet support 2K, 4K, or beyond– but most content isn’t shot in those formats anyway.
However, the resolution is nothing if the vid stutters and stops and has to buffer every couple of seconds. That’s why it’s even more impressive that XFreeHD videos don’t require much time to load and run nearly seamlessly from that point on. In all personal trials, none of the videos crashed– even when jumping around to try and make them crash.
That said, there were instances when the videos took a little bit longer to load than you might prefer. Obviously, the higher the resolution, the more time you should expect– though even then, you’re generally not looking at much more than a few seconds. The real clincher is trying to skip to a spot just past the preload.
This is not an uncommon issue either, by the way, and one you’re liable to encounter on the biggest or best websites– for porn or otherwise. It has more to do with the player than the site, but it’s still something to consider. To make sure you don’t have any issues, always skip a little bit beyond the preload for larger jumps to make sure there’s no issue
Final Thoughts
As the biggest and most profitable industry on the internet, there’s certainly no shortage of porn sites to choose from. Unfortunately, this surfeit of choice often leaves you with a lot of middling options with no real winners. Thankfully XFreeHD has an expansive collection of videos with adequate photos.
While there’s not much of a community or homemade videos to choose from, there are more than enough titles from big studios and small– especially for casting fans. Even better, you shouldn’t have to worry about pausing the video to let it buffer and can just sit back and enjoy some intimate time with yourself or a partner (or more).
