Someday I read that the modern concept of pornography did not exist until the Victorian Era, although images of a sexual nature have existed long before, such as the Venus figurines and rock art. I feel a lot smarter now than I know that. Do you? But I feel like I digress. The subject of today's review is Tube8. Without further ado, let's dive in.
First off, Tube8 is a general adult videos site. This means that the site does not specialize. Instead, it offers a little something for everyone's taste.
The videos of Tube8 are clips uploaded by its user. Because of this, the length and quality may be quite inconsistent from one video to another. I will not let the suspense kill you and I can already tell you this: overall, Tube8 is a nice site. In short, it's a site to know.
And I have good news for you: you will not bankrupt yourself, Tube8 is a free site. Now, we will find out whether this could eventually be your next favorite porn site.
Site features
First off, we are going to take a look at what the site looks like. As soon as you land on the site, you will be greeted by an utterly usual looking website. It is purely utilitarian, simple, and without any soul. There is nothing exceptional about the design of Tube8. But it gets the job done, and no website needs more than that, now does it.
The thumbnails have a preview option, and you only need to point the cursor to get a taste of the action with a nice short clip.
The video player fulfills its purpose. Nothing unexpected here. I didn't have to wait too long for the videos to load. The media player will fail on occasion.
Regarding the ads, I will admit that it is not so bad. If you get some ads, there are still no pop-ups or anything like that. After all, Tube8 needs to pay for its servers too.
The owners of Tube8 have made it available in five languages. The full list of Tube8's languages is available in the table below.
Another feature we will be looking at is the search feature. What is the point of having the best porn scene ever if nobody can find it? Let's see how efficiently you can find something on Tube8.
Firstly, the search bar helps the users find what they want by specifying keywords without navigating through the entire website. Alas, the search bar implements the OR operator by default when used with more than one term. With the OR operator, each result contains at least one search term. This will make it more difficult to target specific searches with multiple terms. The results can be filtered only by length. There are some sorting options available: upload-date, rating, length and views.
Tube8 has categories and a tagging system in place to make it easier to find your favorite kind of content. There are no playlists though.
At the end of the day, searching on Tube8 is ok for searches simple enough, but finding the kind of porn you like can sometimes be more difficult than expected. Still, most of us aren’t going to have trouble finding something to fap to within 30 seconds browsing the site though.
Tube8 content
Site layout, tags, categories, the search feature and all are all important things. On the other hand, without good content, a porn site is nothing.
As I mentioned before, Tube8 is a general porn tubes site and, for the most part, its content is made up of clips of varying lengths. Furthermore, all orientations are catered for whether Straight, Gay, or Shemale.
All in all, the content quality on this website is awesome. A lot of videos could be considered premium content. Free premium content! Woooohooo! Besides, most of the videos look sharp.
About the length of the videos, this is your usual porn tubes site content. Short and long clips, and even some full scenes and movies here and there, although I have to say that it is not the most common thing in here.
The video collection is enormous. You should not run out of content to watch too quickly.
Is Tube8 a good site?
I’m going to be straight with you, if Tube8 is not the best free porn site out there, it is not the worst either.
Its content is amazing, its design is okay, its video player is decent, its sorting options are numerous, its spam is not that bad, and its number of videos is okay.
Even if it is not perfect, Tube8 is definitely a website that is worthy of your attention.
