A Plethora of
Porn at NakedSword
Overview
When all is said and done Naked Sword has an awful lot going for it as a gay
porn site. It has a massive amount of videos to choose from and so many themes
to enjoy that you can definitely see why a porn aficionado would want to become
a member, but the questions is: is the site worth the money?
Pricing
Probably my biggest peeve about NakedSword is the cost. This is a
pretty expensive site to be a part of. On the other hand there are many
different ways to pay and with some you even get a discount.
To get $10 worth of movie credits you pay $9.95, you save 5 cents, that might
not be much, but the more you spend the more you save. For example, when you
spend $19.95 you get $25 dollars worth of credits for a 20 percent savings, then
if you spend $29.95 you get $40 worth of credits for a savings of 33 percent and
it goes up from there.
Monthly Membership Benefits
If you do a lot of viewing then you should look into the monthly membership
because it will save you money and get you access to some exclusive movies and
behind the scenes takes. But if you are just a casual viewer and you spend less
than $30 per month on the PPV movies then you should stick with the video on
demand side of the site.
Payment Methods
And as for the cost of Naked Sword, you can also choose to pay by credit
card, your checking account or even Web900.
Navigation
Navigating my way around this gay adult site I saw that it was laid out quite
well. I liked the quick links, they made finding my way around much easier than
it would have been without them.
Under the NS quick links I was able to get to all these places right away:
- New Movies
- Most Popular
- NS Premiere Series
- Lords of the Jungle
- NS Picks
- Membership Titles
- RENTAL
- Rental Only
- Best of Rental
- Movies With Scenes
- Best of Scenes
I liked how I was able to choose if I wanted to simply rent movies from
NakedSword or become a full fledged member. One thing to note however, is that
there are some movies that you only have access to if you are a paid member.
Regular members will not be able to watch these at all.
Viewing Videos
NS has a lot of different options for all of their features, even watching
the movies gives you a couple of choices. For example you can either download
them (they are DRM protected) or watch them streaming online.
If you choose to stream the videos you can use Real Player (through one of
three quality options) or you can use Windows Media Player.
Keep in mind however that not all of the movies NakedSword offers have so
many choices, in some cases you will have to work with what they offer or choose
a different movie all together.
Searching for Videos
While I was able to search the movies by theme, I still felt a little
limited. There were 13 themes to choose from (not including member movies and
rental titles) like bears, Asian, twinks, solos etc. there could definitely have
been more. It would have been nice to narrow down my search even more with a
search like big dick, or muscle.
Another way of searching for movies on NakedSword is by studio, so if you
have a favorite studio that you enjoy this makes finding their latest gay movies
quick and easy. They have good ones like East Harlem Productions, Titan Media
and Falcon Studios to name a few.
Video Quality
The quality of the videos on Naked Sword was only average. I was a little
surprised that there were not more DVD quality movies to watch. Some of the
movies were a little fuzzy (some were choppy as well) for my tastes but I still
enjoyed the vast majority of the ones I watched.
Recommendation
In my opinion NakedSword is worth checking out for yourself simply for the
sheer number of movies (approx 1000) that they have to offer you.
