Data18.com
Finding the proper porn is harder than explaining why you spent an hour in the bathroom with your phone on silent, but fear not, my data18.com review is here to help you out because not all heroes wear capes, some just have a WiFi connection, and the stamina of a teenager discovering porn for the first time.
This site is pornhub’s nerdy older brother who took an extra semester in organizational skills. Maybe you’re on a noble quest for the perfect video, or maybe you’re just here to ‘browse’. Either way, buckle up champ. This is the major league of self-love and only the strong will survive. Here’s my strong opinion on data18 in my review below, be ready for anything!
The Costco of Porn
Right off the bat, you are hit with an age consent form, because, someone somewhere, still needs a reminder that porn is for adults. Once you are inside, it’s all business. The layout looks serious and you might need to focus a little before your eyes can take in everything, especially with the desktop mode. If you are using a mobile device, no problem, as long as you can zoom in, you should be fine. Just pinch, zoom, and pretend you know what the fuck you are doing because once you adjust, this place is sexy.
The menu is at the left top side of the page and shows options like porn stars, scenes, movies, studios, and tags. We’ll get back to this, but let’s talk about the only contrasting and bright color on this page; the title bar just next to the menu button with the bold inscription ‘Data18’. It kinda looks small because remember the site is automatically set to desktop mode. The search bar is just next to it where you can search through all thousands of data available on this site by studio, porn star, or tags.
Thumbnails that Make You Weak in the Knees
Talking about the thumbnails that line the page from top to bottom, I cannot deny that they are sexy looking and inviting. Clicking on one takes you to a well-organized breakdown of the movie; all the movie details you never thought you needed from production year to runtime, number of scenes, cast, and the studio responsible for this smut masterpiece.
Want the full movie, you have to pay sweetie. The videos hosted by the site are paid for because this site does not handle freebies like some shady torrent sites. However clicking on the play button in some videos redirects you to another site where the videos are streamed for free. The adventure you are about to embark on might be a wild adventure but who is to say it is not worth it? I know how annoying being yanked off one site to another can be, but anything for smut, no?
The streaming quality, buffering, and playback vary from site to site, but I admire the intentionality in making sure the videos are not grainy but high resolution and so crispy, you can count the hair strands on the actor’s ass. The buffering in some sites will test your patience and some act as though trying to compensate for the trouble you had before, either way, you are sure not to leave the data18.com without feeding your eyes with premium smut.
Down the page, you can see membership plan options and it’s perks that give you access to unlimited streaming and download on the site. You also have an online option to purchase, rent, and play.
A Game of Streaming Roulette
The beautiful thing about porn movies is the spontaneity, one moment the actors are deep in work, punching keys on a desktop furiously, and a coworker stands to stretch and get some water, in the process mistakenly spills the water on Mr nerd who looks like his job is his breath and the next thing, Mr nerd is furiously and seriously licking coworker’s ass, and they are going at it as though they just discovered pleasure. Interesting right? The plot just springs up on you like a well-organized surprise engagement.
For me, the real MVP of this site is the porn star directory back on the menu. It is a long list of 21126 stars as thumbnails with their face shot, name, and number of videos filling the page. This site doesn’t list a few fan favorites but it’s got models of all sizes, body types, race, enhanced, natural, and everything in between. Click on one and you get an entire catalog of their work; scenes and movies like a filthy IMDB page.
The sweetest part of this site is that it has no ads, no creepy pop-ups, and annoying redirects, just pure, uncut smut in a clean, white interface. Do you want to know the worst part? No mobile mode. That means zooming in like a grandpa trying to read a text message. I don’t think you should complain though, but imagine trying to dodge ads and pop-ups while trying to pinch in and understand what is going on here. You would probably have given up on the site.
What ThePornGuy thinks of Data18.com
Listen, not all porn sites are created equal, some are like shady back alley DVD shops, full of viruses, weird pop-ups, and a vague sense of regret. This site is the opposite. If you like organized, high-quality, ad-free porn and don’t mind paying for it, this site is a dream come true. If you have the cash and the stamina, this place is a wank factory that I would definitely recommend multiple times.
