Quality of Porn
HotGold is beautifully and simply designed, making your time on the site efficient, without excessive searching required.
Choose to filter/sort using either the Videos Scenes or Models sections, with the option of checking out the available DVDs while viewing the picture on the front, which is a hoot.
Though the site offers quality as far as watching the scenes in HD, it is unclear what the quality is, because scenes that have HD tagged on them seem very different. 1080p HD videos also vary in quality, so in this regard, the site could have organized things better.
The models are amateurs, but they are nothing if not 100% adept at all kinds of sex acts. They all seem to be absolutely stunning, I love the darker skin tone and long dark hair that most have.
Many of the models, which you can also see in the tour you take before buying a membership, wear masks throughout the entire videos, which I found odd. I'm not sure if they thing it's hiding their identity or if they think it's sexy, but I found it distracting, as these were cheap "party store" kind of masks.
Another issue to consider is that many, many models have fake boobs. To me, that's fine, I don't really care, but I know there are quite a few porn lovers out there that prefer natural breasts.
I definitely appreciated how well the site performed on mobile, the site is just as nice on my Android, as well as my Apple devices.
Types of Porn
HotGold boasts Portuguese women, but I'm happy to report that there are more models from all of Europe, and even some scenes with North American chicks.
The scenes range from solo, to couples, there's a ton of hot lesbian action, as well as plenty of sexy MILFs teaching younger models how to fuck.
Along with these, you'll also find anal, gangbangs, blowjobs followed by face/tits/ass cumming, and a massive amount of orgies, including double and triple penetration.
The ladies seem to genuinely enjoy all the action, and most aren't even looking at the camera, despite this site feeling more "reality" than performance. Maybe it's the awesome Portuguese vibes vibrating through these models/groups, but most scenes feel like giant parties, and that's a good thing.
The DVDs are a lot of fun to try out because they actually give you full stories, like a MILF catching her 18+ teen trying to masturbate and teaching her, or a group of college aged kids getting together to celebrate the end of their exams and end up having one giant orgy together. It doesn't feel scripted, but it's clear there's a story being told, by the decisive way the camera shoots and moves.
There's no one single fetish/kink focused on, which I like. You can find almost anything here, including water sports, rough sex, rope play, things that are usually found on niche sites.
The point of view also changes from film to film, as some are pure POV, and some are taken from a few lucky camera operators trying to catch every thrust and every squirt.
Content & Update Frequency
HotGold offer movies made in Portugal or Brazil come in both short scene form, as well as the full feature length, if it's an entire DVD.
There are hundreds of videos, and out of those 60 complete DVDs to stream, download, or pay to get the real deal.
Most scenes run for around 20-30 minutes, and films are updated several times a week.
On the site's shop you can purchase the physical DVDs, if you feel like getting nostalgic.
Video & Image Quality
800 videos and 650 picture galleries are available on the site. You can either stream then in full 1080p HD quality, or download them, with the highest download quality being 720p HD.
To save the movies if you want to download them, you can use the MP4 format. In general, I'd recommend downloading rather than streaming, as the player embedded into the site is slow, and when you want to jump from place to place it takes a while to buffer.
The picture galleries can be downloaded with zip, and all boast high resolution and large sizes (Up to 5760x3840). There's a combo of stills and also posed shots.
Below are the file formats available for streaming:
- FHD MP4 1080P
- HD MP4 720P
- SD MP4 540P
- SD MP4 480P
Safety/Discretion
The HTTP server that HotGold uses has been issued an authentication certificate by Sectigo Limited.
This ensures that it is browser-trusted, which the service decides upon based by running a certificate management agent on the web server.
HotGold uses Vendo, SegPay and Epoch, which are well known for following the strictest guidelines, including SSL certification and TLS encoding.
Instead of seeing an embarrassing charge on your bank account/credit card statement, all you will see is an innocuous sounding name.
Customer service on HotGold is limited to say the least. When you enter the portal, as they call it, there are very few FAQ questions, and an option to submit a ticket.
It makes you wonder why the site boasts 24/7 customer support, when there's no indication about how long it will take to get a reply to the ticket submitted.
Odds & Ends
There could be better filtering, especially with the films and the models that don't give too much info. Model bios would be a welcome addition as well. I will say that I like that you can browse the movies by looking at the actual DVD covers, which is a nice touch.
I also like that you can write comments, read comments left by other users, and rate the films you've watched.
HotGold doesn't offer any bonus sites, but it does offer a loyalty program. Every month, you are able to select another site from their network, to add to your viewing options, which is a very nice and clever way to keep members on. You can check those out on the Gasm site.
This network is called Stiffia VIP, but was recently moved into the Gasm network, and it houses 20 sites/channels altogether, including HotGold. There are super fun categories like Cosplay, Japanese, MILFs, Lesbian, Water Sports, practically every major porn niche.
Another downside is that some pages you land on will have ads, though they look like menu items. Be aware that they're there so you can avoid hitting on them.
Something that could also be considered problematic, is that for movies that are in Portuguese or Spanish, the subtitles are in those languages, not English. To some, this may be an issue.
Lastly, it's important to mention the site offers a TV channel that shows movies and shows, and even comes with a schedule. This is free with your membership, along with a link to live cam models.
Conclusion
HotGold is a super fun site if you're looking for the darker side of porn, which is lacking in many mainstream, famous networks. I love how diverse the cast is here, and how many fetishes are explored on one site, in beautiful 1080p HD quality.
Though customer support could be improved, as could the site navigation and filtering, and in general more info could be given about models and scenes, this is a great platform, that treats you to extra content every month. Of course, this is the perfect place if your kink is glorious, sexy Portuguese ladies getting down and dirty.
