Susan Reno Review
Date Published: Jan 20, 2006Susan Reno -- a.k.a. Momma Mandingo (somehow that name makes me think of Kill Bill) -- is the founder of the Bay Area Crew, a bunch of gang bangers that used to hang out at the Edgewater motel in Oakland. Her website susanreno.com launched back in 2000, and her uninhibited interracial swinger lifestyle has been covered since by both the California Swingers Magazine and Forplay Magazine On Line. My first impression of Susan was this sexy blonde desperate housewives type that might go as far as showing a little skin. But seeing her 128 lb 5'5" frame press against a 6' black muscle-bound hunk is an indication that looks alone can be deceiving. In fact, it appears Susan Reno has an insatiable appetite for black cock:
I got my first black cock 12 yrs ago, I was at club and 2 black guys got me dancing with them and got me going big time took me outside did me in our mini van. They used me like a slut and made me love it, then told me if I wanted more to come back Friday...[When I came again on Friday], the same guys [coaxed] me outside, but this time as they left they had 2 others come and do me. I had never been used the way these guys did, they got me so good I did anything they wanted and now I have a very big need for black man's cock. -- Susan Reno
My Notes
The pics on this site are divided into different sections labelled "Pics by Video Title", "Gang Bang Orgy", "Hot One on Ones", "Threesomes", "On the Kinky Side", "Outside / Public", "White Guys", "Girl - Girl", "Glory Holes", "Susan Soft", "Susan Hard", "Vintage", "Other Sluts", "Kissing", "Tub / Shower Sex", "Bar Meets", and "Conventions." There's also a "Main Pictures by Gallery" link that lets you see all the available galleries on one page.
The Susan Reno videos are WMV versions of VHS/DVD sold on her online video store, susanrenovideos.com, and include titles like Stud Devon And The LA Interracial Crew, where Susan has her way with three ebony hunks, Glory Hole Fun showing Susan in an adult movie theatre sucking a long black sausage through a glory hole while XXX video plays in the background, and Ridden by Horsemen in which Susan handles three black rods in her mouth at once with ease.
There's also a good amount of bonus material that comes with susanreno.com. You'll find a collection of stories, some homegrowncontent.com plugins like Homegrown Creampies and Homegrown XXX Theatre (These plugins do not work in Netscape Navigator), pillowtalktv.com, and The Amateur magazine. The Fuckables section is a compilation of interracial/bondage pics from darkcavern.com, katnoir.com, lanalovesblackcock.com and other lesser-known sites. Travels section is where you'll find out which city Susan Reno will be visiting next for her interracial orgies (Looks like in February, Susan will be in New York.) There are also some flash games like nude jigzaw puzzles, strip blackjack, strip poker, cartoons and other fun little distractions.
The Good
The best thing about Susanreno.com is the rarity of her content. It's not easy to find porn sites that focus on the amateur housewife interracial gangbang niche. Some of the stuff here are real head turners. In Golden, Susan crouches over a toilet as a black dude pisses into her willing mouth. In Orgys/ Kitty-Kathy-Susan, Susan fulfills her avaricious kink in a hotel room with five black lady-killers and one black girl doing basically whatever you can imagine. In My Dungeon Intro, Susan and another white girl are on their knees naked inside a small cage, servicing huge black shlongs fed to them through cold metallic bars.
The slideshow feature is also very handy -- it lets you sit back and enjoy the photosets without having to worry about clicking repeatedly on the next link.
The Bad
Susanreno.com's biggest setback is its mediocre content quality. Average photo resolution is around 640x480, which is way below the norm. A few picture galleries composed of fuzzy vid caps measuring no more than 346x259 also fail to impress.
Video clips' resolution is also on the low side, around 320x240. Although frame rate is set perfectly at 29.97 FPS, the videos are CBR encoded at 500 to 900 kb/s, resulting in muddy picture quality when resized. The fact that all the scenes are minced into 2+ minute segments also doesn't help members on broadband who expect a full scene download option.
If you're looking for a heart-warming 1-on-1 with Susan Reno, you'll also be dissappointed. To be fair, the site tour doesn't promise any interaction. Susanreno.com is after all an amateur hardcore interracial site, not a solo girl site. Still, with a site that's built around one intruiging woman, it's too bad there is no message board or periodic live cam performances where members can get to know Susan Reno a little better.
There's a pretty long bio in the tour though, and there's also a lengthy feature article from Swingers magazine about Susan in the More Fun Stuff section. And Susan has started publishing a journal since the start of 2006. So far, her entries are short what-I-did-yesterday type logs -- which isn't all that unsual, but not too engaging either. Hopefully, once she gets more comfortable with writing journal entries, she'll jot down some intimate thoughts, fantasies, or things she's done in her life that aren't necessarily sex-related.
Another hindrance is the confusing layout of her Photos area. There are different options to sort the galleries: By niche, by VHS title, and by gallery. Some galleries are listed under several niches, and each gallery usually belongs to a movie title, so the same gallery pops up in different searches, sometimes making me feel like I'm working my way through a jungle. What adds to the irritation is the right-click and save option on the photos is disabled, although that's easily solved by disabling Javascript in your browser.
Finally, some of the pics in the galleries are out of sequence. For example, you may see a photo of Susan unzipping a guy's pants after seeing a dick dissappear down her throat.
Final Judgement
In spite of susanreno.com's navigation problems, its mediocre content quality, and lack of interaction, the rare exclusive collection of amateur content in this unsaturated niche makes the site worth checking out anyway. I'm sure glad I did. If Susan adds a live cam / message board, doubles her photo resolution, and improves the way she encodes her videos, Susanreno.com may become one hell of a website.
