Edward James is a director and producer of black, gay porn. Known for bringing together the most gorgeous, hunky and hung ebony men, his site offers you 4K HD exclusives featuring stunning models in all-black hardcore. The site is part of the Carnal Plus network, which means your membership includes access to six sites and 11 channels of porn, including bonuses, adding up to more than 2,700 videos.
There’s a heap of porn attached to this membership, with most of it concerning white guys, but at Edward James, you have 100% ebony hardcore, and with handsome, strapping guys in their 20s and 30s. James is a well-known producer of gay ebony porn, and his collection doesn't let you down, particularly if you're into bareback, and hung guys. What you see on the tour is what you find inside the members’ area (plus all your extras), and right now, that means, 88 exclusive movies, some of which are in 1080 HD.
Once logged in, you'll have to find the content from the Channels page, because your membership is a network one, and all sites and channels are linked and presented together. Once you've got your Edward James movies in front of you, click the ‘see all’ link and you'll get to the first page of the 88 scenes. Here, you find great couplings and some horny shots of couples posed in various hardcore positions, usually with a long, thick cock penetrating a smooth, dark ass. There’s plenty of rimming and sucking along the way, threesomes and group scenes as well as duos, varied locations, and plenty of different guys.
The movies waste little time getting to the sexy stuff. There may be a brief intro, such as a guy working out at the gym, finishing his set and walking into the shower to find a naked, cute younger guy there, already stroking his cock. Other scenes start straight in with the short credit fading out to reveal a guy whipping out his lengthy meat and another grabbing it and aiming it towards his mouth. So, it's safe to say you don’t get stinted on the hardcore and the fun stuff, and also safe to say you get it well filmed and in detail, but without stories attached.
On the technical side, movies run for 15 to 20 minutes and can be viewed in streams or taken as downloads. Older movies, from 2021, have three resolutions for download, 360p, 480p and 720p. The more recent ones had these options plus one at 1,920 x 1,080 HD, but I didn't find any of the promised 4K HD movies. The tour might have been talking about scenes from other sites and channels in the network. Also, it mentions ‘exclusive’ in connection to Edward James’ content, and it actually comes as a ‘featured channel’, so the content may not be 100% exclusive. All the same, it’s great quality, very atmospheric, and does the job.
Movies also come with a small set of images, mainly showing the models posing, but they are well worth collecting. The images are at 6,000 x 4,000 px when at full size, though start off reduced to fit on your screen. You can download them one at a time or take them all in a zip file. There are some very sexy hunks and ebony twinks waiting for you there, and each one comes with a link to his appearance in the model index. There, though, you don't find any details or stats, simply a large image and links to any more of his updates.
As you’re now part of a network, you get extra value for money, and you can find the rest of your content from the home page, the video list on the menu, or the channels page. There is also a section of 1,584 photo sets taken from all channels, and a thing called ‘The Handy’, which is a page of sign-up ideas for other sites.
This is mainly white-boy-themed porn, with a leaning towards older/younger and taboo sex. You’ll find the classic Carnal sites here like Gaycest, Fun Size Boys, Masonic Boys, and Boy For Sale, plus the featured channels. These include Bang Bang Boys, Jalif Studios, and Stag Homme, but none of them are biased towards ebony guys. In total, you've got over 5,000 scenes (including bonus scenes).
You have to pass through an advert on your way in, and when you reach the home page, it is the page for the whole network, so you need to find Edward James from the Channels page. Easy enough, and once there, you can bookmark it for later. Browsing the videos is easy, they are set out with large sample pics and some info, and a click gets you through to the viewing page. There are ways to search the complete collection, linked tag words, filters and ways to arrange the order on the index pages, so the network has all the good and standard navigation tools we like to see. There’s even a drop-down list of sites so you can filter videos that way, and there is a model index if you like to select your porn according to what the cast looks like. You can filter the model index to Edward James and find 116 ebony guys to get you started.
Viewing videos is simple, the streaming player is a good size, and although there are no choices of playback, only what you're given, it works well. Members can rate scenes and add them to a favourites area, and there are social media share buttons to use. I didn't see any comments facility, but there are help and support links at the bottom of the pages if you need them.
You will have to upgrade your membership if you want to download, but you can do this once you have taken one of the streaming-only memberships that first come your way. There’s a trial at $2.99 for three days, a monthly membership at $14.99, one at $79.99 for the quarter, and a six-month one at $119.99. All are streaming only and recurring, and watch out for the cross-sales on the next page. One of them is a legitimate upgrade, the other is a separate site.
Edward James gives you exactly what and who you see on the tour, and then it gives you a heap of extras and bonuses in the Carnal Plus network. Here, though, it’s 100% horny ebony dudes in full-on bareback hardcore, with duos, threesomes and group scenes, and it’s all well-made and presented in up to 1080p HD. Updates are not frequent, but network access gives extra value (although the bonus porn is mainly white), and there’s plenty here that’s worth collecting.
