Gay Porn Reviews

Billed as "A New Dimension in Porn," Dominic Ford boasts a bevy of beautifully crafted videos offered on a dizzying array of cutting-edge platforms: ultra-fast streaming files, high-quality HD downloads, iPod and iPad files and - mostly impressively - 3-D movies. Whether they're watched in eye-popping 3-D or merely lush 2-D, Dominic Ford's videos (featuring names like Topher DiMaggio, Chris Porter and Matthew Rush) are sure to satisfy early adopters and Luddites alike.

But the other side of cutting edge is the risk of pushing systems to the limit: the "full HD" versions of the videos are very large files which take a long time to download and we did experience some buffering in the streaming versions.

Tour

Dominic Ford's tour emphasizes the site's focus on high-tech, high production-value content. The tour's centerpiece is a two-minute video hosted by stars Zach Alexander, Colby Keller and Parker London. Probably the first infomercial in the history of gay porn, this preview provides a brief but informative look at Dominic Ford's impressive video catalog and innovative download and playback options. Tour-goers also can browse the complete model and movie indexes which include 2-minute preview clips.

Navigation

With a sleek, uncluttered site design and well-marked page tabs, Dominic Ford is generally a breeze to navigate. The one notable exception is its video search feature. Rather than standard drop-down menus, the search function lists terms that can be clicked and un-clicked to narrow or broaden searches. It's not terribly intuitive, so site novices may be frustrated at first.

The Men and the Action

The guys of Dominic Ford are a mixed lot, from slim-hipped young men to massive muscle studs. Regardless of type, however, these guys perform well and have very nice, in-shape bodies. Several of the models are gay porn regulars, and have appeared in the work of multiple producers, but Dominic Ford still provides informative model descriptions and several in-depth video interviews. The models are good at what they do, and always give the impression that they're fully invested in the action.

What really makes the site stand out, though, is its 3-D content. Basic site subscribers get a pair of classic cardboard 3-D glasses and (surprise!) they work really well. The 3-D videos have a hyper-real depth that really does increase the sexual heat. One small qualm: cardboard glasses are kinda easy to break, so if you're a "vigorous" porn viewer, take care of your tool.

Video Details

Dominic Ford currently hosts 85 exclusive videos with an average length of 20 minutes. New site content is added weekly, and all of the DRM-free videos are available for download.

As standard 2-D gay porn videos, the scenes on Dominic Ford are exemplary: well light, nicely shot and artfully edited. The 3-D videos have a hyper-real depth that really does heighten, rather than distract from, the sex.

Image and Other Content

Every video on Dominic Ford is accompanied by a selection of images; the number of digital photos and video captures varies a lot but an average would be around 30. In the case of the site's 3-D videos, a handful of these photos are in 3-D. The photos are a nice feature, but the sizes vary a lot (though the biggest are quite big at 960x540) and without slideshow playback or the capability to download the galleries as zip files, DF's photo content is mostly window dressing.

Summing Up

Dominic Ford offers an unusual "New Dimension in Porn" and the high quality of its videos takes it to a level beyond novelty. But being cutting edge means pushing the bounds, so giant file sizes and superfast bitrates may mean waiting for downloads and streams that buffer. Nevertheless, Dominic Ford is a must for porn lovers looking for something new.
