Does XonDemand deliver what it promises on the outside?
Watch 19,665 Movies...Pennies a Minute...No Membership Fee...No Recurring Billing...Pay-Per-Minute Movies!"
This is what is promised on the front page of this site, and this is exactly what you get on the inside. There are even more movies offered than are boasted about. I believe the number is somewhere around 24,000 now.
What's good about XonDemand? What needs improvement?
The sheer volume of content is staggering at first, but the videos are sorted fairly well, with a good search engine to root through them. Almost any type of video you want you will find here; straight, bi, gay, fetish, twinks, muscle, kink, etc. Most videos have an option as to whether you want to play them in Windows Media Player or Real Player, as well as what speed you would like (for lower bandwidth users). The quality is good, and you can skip forward and back to skip scenes or replay anything you want. One option that would be nice to add would be scene selection. Along with the option to play the entire movie, links to play each scene separately would be welcome as well. (Sometimes you just don't want to see the triple fisting scene!)
The website is laid out pretty simply, and is easy to navigate. You can search my title, director, series, description, studio, and star. You also can browse through all the videos, or by categories and genres. The videos load fairly fast, although jumping around in the movie can take a bit of time for the video to synch back up.
How is XonDemand unique?
I have not used many play-on-demand sites before, so I don't know, but this site seems to have a wealth of content. Also, I appreciate the fact that the vids aren't streaming in the classic sense, where you cannot skip ahead in them. The fact that you have some control is great to me.
What do paying users recieve for their money?
Paying members receive either pay per view minutes, or entire movies which are viewable for 7-14 days, based on which type of subscription you pay for. The more minutes you buy, the cheaper is it per minute, ranging from 8-23 cents per minute. Once you have your minutes, you have access to every video on that site for as long as your minutes or subscription allows. If you just like watching, and not owning, this may be the site for you. There is plenty to keep you busy for as long as you can afford. This is also a good place to find some hard to find videos that aren't available anywhere else.

Ben Dover Boy's review

X On Demand is another one of those great video archives of a good number of titles that you can stream directly on your computer without having to go to the porn store. There are numerous categories including various straight fetishes and a general gay category that you can further specialize by cross-searching with some of the straight fetish categories. I found it to be a pretty good site, but there are some things that could definitely be improved upon, that I'll talk about later. Read full review

The big claim is 19665 movies. I have to confess I didn't count them to check this figure, but it's clear from a quick look round the site that it contains a lot of porn. And I mean a lot. Read full review

This site is not like any other. There is no membership fee, there are no photo galleries, there are only commercially videos that may be viewed on a pay-per-minute basis. The site claims to have 27,693 movies available. Read full review
