Here we are, the beef that is as old as time, which is XNXX and Xvideos. Well, usually these two are extremely similar, I mean, you have heard me complain about this many times before. They are not even trying to hide it. One is blue, the other one is red, blah blah blah. However, I have to give props to XNXX this time around, as it is an absolute haven for crossdressing content. XNXX and Xvideos might be from the same family, same nuts, same guts, same everything under the hood, but oh boy does XNXX deliver when it comes to quantity, with nearly 69.000 videos in the crossdressing category.
Hold that excitement a bit longer, don’t leave my review just yet. I know you want to wank it out, but I know you want to hear the rest of what I got to say. After all, that is why you clicked on this to begin with. With that said, here I am, about to spoil the surprise in the next segment of this review.
Crossdressing numbers lie to your face
I know, I know.
I was just as excited as you were when I thought that there were almost 69.000 videos of crossdressing dudes. If you search for gay crossdressing, you will get that many videos, as well as over 15.000 behind the premium GOLD membership, but there is a catch behind all of that. It is a very simple catch, and that is that the search options are very loose.
The results are not really showing you the real thing, as there are just so many videos that will simply have crossdressing in the title, while having nothing to do with that content once you start watching the video. In fact, if you go to tags in some of the videos that are labeled crossdressing, you will not even have it in the list. Instead, you will have a bunch of standard gay tags such as masturbation, gay dildo, twink, and so on. I really fucking hate when tube sites do shit like this, and to be betrayed by XNXX, one of the giants in the industry, just feels really fucking bad.
You don’t even have to take my word for it. Go check it out yourself, and look how dumb some of the tags in certain videos are. One of them had “gay kyler moss” as a tag, where a twink is just playing around with his cock while having some purple rope around his neck. Does that count as crossdressing? Of course fucking not.
To be fair, this is not the site’s fault. Well, it is, but I know that something that has millions of videos cannot regulate absolutely everything. Especially not something like a niche category that is crossdressing. Still, it is very annoying and frustrating, because if I were to look for crossdressing porn, I would expect the site to show me only content relevant to my search, and not allow users who upload videos to abuse the system to gain more views on their videos. I would have expected better from people, but then again, did I really? Somehow they always disappoint you, especially fellow gooners.
Same blood as its sibling
If you read my Xvideos review, congratulations, you already know how this part goes, because XNXX is the same machine wearing a slightly different paint job. I am not going to insult you by pretending it is a fresh discovery. Everything streams free, no need for an account, email, credit card, and no sudden wall-dropping interruptions mid-scene. You find a video, click it, watch it. That is the whole shebang.
Want the extras? Register for a free account, and you will unlock the usual quality-of-life stuff that most free tube sites tend to offer. You can add videos to favorites, access your watch history, make playlists, follow uploaders, and comment on videos. It is the same next door. The only difference is that the search is bloated, which makes following some creators even more valuable.
Quality? Same story again. The filter gives you all 720p+, 1080p+, and that is your ceiling. There is no 4K, my friend. I know, a bit disappointing, but 1080p will have to do. Still, this niche is mostly filled with amateur content creators anyway, so the lower quality does make the videos more authentic. After all, have you ever seen cinema-quality gay crossdressing videos? Yeah, I didn't think you did.
Ads, and the GOLD does not fix the real problem
With free tube sites, ads are inevitable. They are the perfect way to keep the electricity running for any tube site, and when it comes to XNXX, the ads are on the milder part of the spectrum. Whenever you want to watch a video, you will be hit by a 30-second ad, which you can skip after 5 seconds. The ads are quite repetitive, so you will certainly get bored of them at one point by either upgrading to GOLD or by installing an ad-blocker. GOLD will cost you $9.99 for one month, or $7.99 per month if you pay for the whole year in one go, which is $95.88. Again, if you read my Xvideos review, you can probably recite the pitch for GOLD back to me at this point, as it comes with over 1.2 million premium videos, 1.100 new videos uploaded daily, and you can pay for it with Visa or MasterCard, Vendo, or various Crypto options such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other popular coins.
While the GOLD membership is not that bad of a deal, especially when you consider that it is going to give you access to over 15.000 gay crossdressing videos, the problem again comes to that same number of videos. See, just like with the free ones, the ones that are advertised in GOLD are the ones based on the loose search. It is really dragging the site down, and I really hate that it is doing that, because it is borderline false advertising. All because people do not know how to name or tag their videos correctly. Honestly, considering that you will be frustrated after upgrading to GOLD, and you might even ask for a refund, just save yourself ten bucks to begin with.
Some interesting filters and many hidden gems
Ok, I might have been a bit harsh when it comes to XNXX, but that is only because I know of the good that it is capable of. For example, the filters are great, and they will really help you browse through the loosely-matched stuff that is clogging the results. While I usually think they are optional when you are browsing for a tag on a giant tube site, in this case, I really think they are mandatory, especially if you do not like wasting your time. There are several big filters to choose from, such as mode, period, length, video quality, and viewed videos.
The mode is an interesting one, as you can filter by hits, which shows the most popular videos that have been getting a lot of attention lately, or you can just order them randomly. Period lets you filter by month or year, which is not as tight as the sister website, but I will still take it. Length is kind of the same story, as you can filter all, 0-10 minute videos, 10+, 10-20 min, and 20+. Honestly, I don’t understand the point of 10+ since other options exist, but it is what it is. Video quality is not that surprising either, as you can filter all, 720p+, or 1080p+ - we already went over this one before. The interesting one is the viewed videos, which lets you hide videos you have already seen. This is a feature that many tube sites could use, especially if they have thousands of videos. For those who want to go through ALL of the content without having to track where they stopped, this filter is king.
When it comes to the videos themselves, they are all over the place. If I said I enjoyed every single one I checked out while researching for this review, I would be lying. However, I did find a lot of incredible hidden gems that I think you will enjoy once you run into them. Most of the content involves some kind of crossdressing, a lot of them are the standard dudes in stockings or skirts, but they have other fits too. Overall, I think XNXX is not that bad when it comes to crossdressing gay videos, but I honestly hope that they do something about the loose search that is weighing it down.
