Even after years in the industry, I still haven’t fully figured out what a hamster has to do with porn. Honestly, though, at this point, I’ve stopped asking, as some mysteries are better left alone. Anyway, today we are not here to talk about rodents, but about guys who love putting on stockings and other clothes that are usually related to women. I mean, honestly, if you are already here, you know that is already the case. It was not a state secret, was it?
Crossdressing is one of those niches where volume can make or break the experience, because it is so easy to run out of content. This is especially the case if it tends to be repetitive, which is often the case with crossdressing, because there are not that many ways a guy can wear a skirt. With a site as huge as xHamster, you would expect that the number of videos is as big as my standards, and it will not disappoint you.
The hamster certainly delivers on crossdressing gay videos
You guys know I love to shit on bad platforms, but this time around we are opening up with some good news.
The gay crossdressers section on xHamster holds around 38.000 videos. Unlike most tube sites, it is actually not fluffed up by poor search results like half of the internet. It is a proper category page with its own title and filters. For a niche this specific, that number is huge. You could watch a few videos every night, and you would have content for years without ever reaching the end of the list.
Out of the 38.000 videos, there are around 1000 of them locked behind the paid tier, also known as Premium. I will get to that later. So, having around 37.000 videos that you can watch for free is already a win in my books. Crossdressing fans rejoice, because you will not have to spend a cent to enjoy the majority of the content. But is the category clean, or is it polluted with some random ass videos? Well, I do have to be honest, there is some bleeding, but compared to most platforms, as I said earlier, it really isn’t a big deal. Most of the videos that you read the title or see the thumbnail of are going to deliver exactly what you expect, and that is all that matters.
The quality is not making me angry for once
Usually, I would be fuming about how the quality is extremely outdated and how everything looks like garbage. Today, that is not the case. xHamster can easily flex on many platforms as it offers some solid quality options. There are around 23.000 videos that are 720p or better, about 4000 that are 1080p and up, and believe it or not, there are roughly 850 videos that are all the way up to 2160p. Can you believe that? Crossdressing in 4K quality? I know, I was just as amazed. The best part is that it is not even locked behind any payments.
With the breakdown out of the way, you might be wondering, what happens to the remaining 15.000 videos? Are they below 720p? Yes, dear reader, that is exactly the case, and to be honest, the number is much smaller than I first expected. You will find all kinds of videos that do not meet the 720p criteria, not only in quality, but also in the context of the videos. Some of them are shot with phones, some of them are shot with webcams, and a lot of them do not have ideal angles and really scream homemade porn. Considering that crossdressing is a niche dominated by amateur content creators, you are probably used to this, and seeing that there are so many options in 720p or higher is already more than enough for you to check out xHamster.
Dig through the pile with various filters
When a category is this big, it is good to have a good set of tools to dig through the pile, and xHamster gives you a good set. Along the top, you can switch between trending, newest, best videos, and premium videos. Trending shows you what people are watching right now, newest is self-explanatory, and best is your shortcut to scenes that the community approves of. The premium part is obviously locked behind a paywall, and we will get to that shortly.
There are also some other filters that you can take advantage of, such as filtering by quality, FPS, duration, and production. Honestly, the best one here is the quality filter. I personally love removing everything under 720p, but not gonna lie, sometimes I do love checking out some 360p real, amateur, homemade porn videos, especially the crossdressing ones. FPS is kind of a thing for nerds, because most people won’t care for this, but it is a nice feature to have. Duration helps you skip the short teasers that stop the scene mid-wank, which no one is a fan of, and production lets you separate stuff from professional content creators and user-uploaded content. Overall, the filters are great, and considering that the videos come in all kinds of variety, from a guy in lingerie in front of a mirror to full-on dressed-up hardcore scenes, you will be using these options to tailor your experience to your kinks. If you don’t think you will, you fucking should - take this tip from a pro.
The price of free and what to expect from premium
Nothing on a free tube site is actually free, and on xHamster you will pay with your eyeballs. Hold your horses, I don’t mean it literally. What I mean is that you will have to watch some ads that you can skip after a few seconds, and you will have to tolerate repetitive ads shown in your face during your browsing session. You can get around this by upgrading to a paid membership, which comes in two tiers.
At regular prices, Premium is $0.99 for a 2-day trial, $11.99 for 1 month, $9.99 per month for three months, $8.49 per month for a yearly membership, and $299.99 for a lifetime membership. Ultra has a slightly higher price point of $1.48 for a 2-day trial, $17.99 for 1 month, $14.99 per month for three months, $12.74 per month for a yearly membership, and $399.99 for a lifetime membership.
Both memberships offer you access to over 1.400.000 full videos. Now here is something that made me scratch my head. The membership comparison table claims you need Premium to stream in full HD and Ultra to stream in 4K. So I tested it on free videos, and guess what? They played in HD, and the 4K ones played in 4K. No account, no card, nothing. I am not sure if the table is outdated, but based on what I actually saw, free users are not stuck with potato quality. Do not let the table scare you into paying for something you already got.
Something else that really baffles me about the premium is that it offers 5 downloads per month. What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? If I don’t have internet for a month, do I jerk off to different videos five days a week and then on weekends I pick out the ones that I wouldn’t mind watching again? Having five downloads is fucking awful. What are they thinking?
I know this is improved with Ultra, as it increases the monthly downloads to 500, and it also adds quality-of-life features such as subtitled videos, VIP status, a “most replayed moments” feature in the player, and early access to certain videos. With all of this out of the way, is paying for xHamster memberships worth it? Eh, I wouldn’t say so, at least not if you are exclusively into crossdressing gay porn. If you want to explore some other categories, I would certainly consider it.
In the end, I have to say that xHamster is one of the best places to find gay crossdressing content. The library is big, most of it is free, the quality is solid, and the filters actually work. Yeah, sure, there is some bleeding that doesn’t belong in the category, and ads that might get on your nerves, but what the fuck do you expect from a free tube site? Once you check this place out, just like a hamster running in circles in his wheel, I bet you are going to be returning to rewatch many videos from xHamster’s library.
