Yesterday, someone told me that according to a 2009 study by the Journal of Economic Perspective, Utah had the most per capita porn subscriptions. Montana had the lowest rate of porn subscriptions. It is always nice to learn something useless. But I feel like I digress. Let's get back to today's subject: XCum. Is it any good? Let's see, shall we!
You’ve heard of XCum, right? For those of you who don't know XCum yet, XCum is a general adult videos site. Hence the content of XCum is non-specialized. Instead, it offers a little something for everyone's taste.
Like most of its competitors, XCum publishes community-uploaded content. Consequently, the length and the quality of the videos can be fairly inconsistent. I will not play the suspense here. I will already tell you that at the end of the day, XCum is a rather good site. To cut a long story short, it's a site to visit once in a while.
Additionally, you don’t have to pay a dime for anything, the site content is totally free. Right now, let's find out whether this could become your next favorite porn site.
Site features
First off, we are going to see how good the site design is. From the moment I opened the home page, I was struck by the totally conventional design. XCum has about the same design as every other site of its kind. Nothing particular here. That's pretty simple, but it gets the job done, and no website needs more than that, now does it.
Hover above one of the images with your cursor and it shows you a bunch of screenshots from the video. These previews give you a little bit of information. It’s not much, but I guess that it’s better than nothing.
The video player is very good. The videos play smoothly without much, if any, buffering. I didn't get any streaming errors either.
During my visit, I saw a few ads. While this may be true, XCum doesn't throw thousands of ads in your face. But you will get used to the annoying ads eventually.
XCum is only available in English.
One of the most crucial features a porn site must implement is the search feature. A great site search experience combines fast and relevant search results with a great post-search discovery experience that allows users to filter results, browse different categories of content, and even recommends related and popular searches. Let's find out how good XCum is when it comes to finding things.
First, there is the search box. You can use it to ease the navigation and find the porn you are looking for effortlessly. Unfortunately, when you use the search bar with more than one keyword, the operator OR is implied. With the OR operator, each result contains at least one search term. This will make it more difficult to find good results for complex searches. Sadly, you can't further reduce the results as there are no filters available and you cannot sort the content either.
The videos are grouped into categories but there is no tagging system in place. And no playlists either.
All this makes finding things ok if what you are looking for is not too specific, but you may have to try several times to find your favorite porn. Some improvements may be necessary here.
XCum content
It was in January of 1996 that the American business magnate and software developer Bill Gates wrote the "Content is King" essay, in which he stated that content is where much of the "real money" will be earned on the internet. And he was right. The success of a porn site is determined primarily by the quality of its videos.
As I said before, XCum does not specialize in a particular porn niche and, for the most part, its content is made up of short clips. Besides, XCum doesn’t have Gay or Shemale sections like you’ll find on a lot of other tube sites.
All in all, the content on this website is horrible. They keep all their content pretty much basic. In addition, you cant even try to filter out the bad stuff because XCum does not think filters are a thing! Nonetheless, some of the videos can be watched in full HD.
The main problem is that the videos are relatively short. When I see a site with mainly short videos, I always feel a bit disappointed.
Their collection of content is quite generous. I’m sure you’ll find everything you could need.
Is XCum a good site?
Overall, it’s an okay site.
Its main selling point is the nice video player. On the other hand, the website is filled with a lot of short clips, should add some filter options, lacks sorting options, displays a few ads, and could add more videos.
So, should you pay a visit to XCum? Well, despite its flaws, this website is a site to visit if you have time to spare.
