Ladyboy Gold Network review

After decades of subscribing to and reviewing porn sites, it’s not often that I find a site that takes me completely off guard. I’m sure many readers are familiar with the term “Ladyboy”, but, like me, have never really explored the niche much. Recently, I had the opportunity to do so, and to say that I was happy with what I saw would be a major understatement.

For readers who aren’t familiar with the ladyboy term (and I’m no expert), it’s an English-language term applied to a group of people primarily in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, who are recognized as being a third gender. While there are strong links between the idea of a ladyboy and a transgendered person here in the West, there are also significant cultural differences. Those cultural differences aren’t necessarily relevant here, except to say that the people who fall into this third gender are widely accepted within their cultures.

Setting aside cultural differences, it’s fair to say that ladyboys are petite and feminine even though they happen to also have a penis.

I’m reasonably confident in saying that ladyboys fall into all kinds of body types and ages, but this being porn, the focus is on younger models, 18 to 30, and generally petite. There is some variation in body modification as well, with some models having gone through breast implants, others apparently taking hormones, and still others sporting their flat chests. Since a big part of the Western interest in ladyboy culture is the fact that these models have male genitalia, as happens across the species, penis size can vary as well.

As for the men in the sex scenes, they all appear to be Western tourists. I have no information to confirm or deny this, but after having done a deep dive into Ladyboy Gold Network, I suspect that the videos here are supplied by pro-am content producers who are themselves fans of ladyboys and who regularly indulge in this interest in Thailand.
The network consists of 10 sub-sites (or channels), and I think it’s multiple producers creating all this content. Some of these used to be standalone sites, but now you get full access to all of them with your Ladyboy Gold Network subscription.

Ladyboy Gold Network touts itself as the “Number 1 Ladyboy Site” on the Internet and they say they feature the “best hardcore scenes featuring ladyboys”. I don’t have any problem believing Ladyboy Gold when they make those bold claims. Ladyboy is a rare genre and there aren’t many large, high-quality porn sites in this category. The Ladyboy Gold Network easily checks those marks, and there’s no doubt that it is one of the top paysites in the genre.

With most sites I’m reviewing, I’ll spend anywhere between a week and two weeks diving into them so I can give readers as much detailed information as possible. I first dove into Ladyboy Gold about a month ago, and I’m not ready to come up for breath yet!
I pride myself on avoiding subjective comments in my reviews so I can give as much objective information to readers as possible, but I’m going to break my own rule this time – I really, really, really like this site. I like the Ladyboy Gold Network more than I expected I would, and I expected to like it.

Ladyboy Gold Network initially presents as an overwhelmingly large site with a lot to offer, but they do break those scenes down into 10 sub-sites / channels. With over 3200 scenes currently available, and new videos being added twice per week on average, the site is huge. Each scene offers a detailed written description so even in a library this large, a subscriber can decide quickly whether he or she will find the scene interesting.

There are some common themes across the entire network. The scenes all appear to be shot in Thailand and shot in hotels, many of which look to be specific for ladyboys doing sex work. While many of the models here appear in multiple scenes, they don’t appear to be professional models in the sense that we use that term in the North American and European porn industry. I don’t want to leave any readers with the impression that these scenes are shot using hidden cameras and without consent, because they aren’t. It would be hard for a client to hide multiple stationary cameras and hold a hand-held camera at the same time without his partner knowing. While I have no inside information into the Thai Ladyboy sex industry, a reasonable guess is that these models actively work in the sex industry and are willing to participate in porn videos to be shot by clients to be marketed on websites.

The “set” usually appears to be what is usually called a “Short Time” room. That name is self-explanatory. These are specialized hotels with rooms that can be rented for as little as an hour, and the purpose is sex tourism, including ladyboys. The hotel rooms tend to be lavishly decorated, and some even feature a small stage with a stripper pole.

Another common theme across the network is that the models usually wear sexy clothes. With over 3200 scenes available, I suspect that whatever a reader comes up with in his or her head as “sexy clothes”, that can be found here. In most scenes, it is lingerie, stockings, high-heeled shoes, boots, skimpy shorts and tops, and outfits like that.

Most of the scenes here at the Ladyboy Gold Network are relatively straightforward B/G (yes, I know that term doesn’t strictly apply here, but I’ll beg the reader’s indulgence), though it’s easy to find B/G/G threesomes, and even the occasional foursome. For viewers like me who enjoy seeing anal sex scenes, there is obviously a lot to like here. While most of the scenes feature the guy penetrating the ladyboy, there are also plenty the other way around. In some scenes, they even swap.

Apart from “standard” sex scenes, the network also has solo scenes, toy play, watersports, and light BDSM. In some scenes condoms are used, while in others, the sex is done bareback. It’s not much of a stretch to say that the site features enough variety to keep almost any subscriber happy.

In the interest of keeping this review manageable for readers, I’ll break down the 10 individual sites in the network. I have no inside information to support or deny this, but my suspicion is that each of these channels features scenes produced by one individual or a group combining their work to shoot scenes.
I find support for this theory in that we never get to see the men who are enjoying the company of the ladyboys and filming the sex. With one of the channels specifically, Ladyboy Vice, this theory does certainly seem to hold water because we do see quite a bit of the man, though he wears a mask if his head and face are going to be on camera.

Sites included in the Ladyboy Gold Network:

• Ladyboy Gold “Originals” (1365 videos, updates every two weeks): the network promotes this as its “flagship site,” and says that it is rated the “#1 Trans site on the Internet.” While I wouldn’t single out this site as being that, I have no objection saying that it is one of the top ladyboy paysites online. This site continues to grow and offer some amazing scenes with ever fresh ladyboys.
• Ladyboys Fucked Bareback (548 videos, updates every two weeks): this site is a lot like the Ladyboy Gold site, though it tends to be harder. There is lots of toy play and, as the name makes clear, this is a no-condom-allowed zone. Because of this, viewers will get to see lots of bareback action, up to and including creampies.
• Ladyboy Vice (328 videos, updates every two weeks): for me, it’s this site that stood out as being unique. While it incorporates the same hot ladyboy models in hot scenes, the limits are also pushed. Here you’ll find lots of bondage, handcuffs ball gags, and other uncomfortable restraints. Of course, those restraints stay on to make for incendiary sex scenes. Many of the scenes feature watersports too.
• LB Girlfriends (382 videos, not updating): this site features more of what makes the Ladyboy Gold network so great. It’s hot ladyboys in hot action.
• Ladyboy Crush (160 videos, not updating): Another site featuring hot ladyboys in hot scenes.
• Ladyboy Obsession (152 videos, updates every two weeks): I’m not damning this site with faint praise when I say that it is a lot like Ladyboy Vice, though it tends to be a bit tamer. The sex here does often involve some light bondage and is rougher than some of what the other sites offer.
• Ladyboy Glamour (99 scenes, not updating): erotic site features sexy solo photo sets with pretty ladyboy models, showing off their feminine curves and more for the camera. Also short BTS video clips of the photo shoots.
• Ladyboy Dildo (56 videos, not updating): as the title makes clear, this site features ladyboys stuffing themselves with dildos. There are a few sex scenes thrown in for good measure as well.
• Ladyboy Wank (43 videos, not updating): another site offering truth in advertising. If you are in the mood to watch a beautiful Ladyboy lie back and stroke off, head to this site.
• Ladyboy Angel (16 videos, not updating): ladyboy scenes advertised as previously unreleased and unseen.

The production values across the network are surprisingly good for content that wasn’t produced in a studio. Quality isn’t up to major studio standards, but they are far superior to what can be found on many amateur sites. The cameras usually a are a mix of one or more fixed cameras and a hand-held POV camera. These clips are professionally edited together to give a natural flow while also keeping the viewer engaged in the action.

Audio is hit-and-miss in the videos, not because it is bad but because there isn’t usually a lot of it. In some instances, the audio appears to have been removed from the video, and in other cases it’s mostly just ambient sounds. I suspect this is because there is a language barrier. But rest assured that everyone involved speaks the universal language of love.

The network offers unlimited downloads and unlimited streaming to its members. Because the first site in the network has been around since 2007, video resolutions have evolved over the years. I’ve listed the available resolutions across the site, but readers should note that these resolutions are not available on every scene. For example, while 4K is now widely available, don’t expect to see that on an older scene. For the oldest scenes on the network, usually only one resolution, the lowest listed, is available. While I usually prefer moderately high video resolution, I’ll admit that the lower resolution on the older scenes sometimes adds a grittiness to them that manages to increase their heat.

I’ve listed the network as having 4K resolution available on approximately 464 scenes. 4K started to be added as an option back in 2023, though readers should note that not every scene uploaded since then offers it. Also, there are also some outliers dating back into before 2023 that offer 4K as well. For fans of 4K resolution, there is a tag to filter for that.

For subscribers who prefer streaming, you should note that LadyboyGold Network offers only one streaming resolution per scene. What you see is what you get. This is really the only drawback of the site. If you want to watch Full HD or 4K, you have to download the scenes, because the streaming player only offers one SD resolution.

The members area of the network is logically laid out, which is critical on a site this large. It works great on mobile devices too. The page load speeds are not super fast, but not slow enough to be annoying either. Download speeds are decent and the online streaming playback works nicely.
Subscribers can dive into the complete network collection (which I found overwhelming) or you can sort by the 10 sites listed above. Sorting by models is available as well. There is also a link on the upper banner for “Categories”. When you open that link, you see thumbnails listing 24 frequently used categories. Even more categories can be accessed by going to any category page, then selecting a different category from the category dropdown field near the top.

It’s not that common for a paysite to cater to both video and photo collectors anymore, but the LadyboyGold Network does that. With many sites, and I can understand why, videos are the focus and any photos are usually just screencaps and are an afterthought. Not so here. Here, there is an extensive photo collection that could easily stand on its own. There are over 2900 photo sets, with approximately eight new ones being added throughout each month.
Photo quality is good too. These are no mere screenshots, but most appear to be professionally shot photographs. Depending on the size of the photo set, there will be a mix of “pretty girl” posing, and then a few “action” shots.
The resolution of the recent sets is mostly 2000px. The images are available to view online and also downloadable as zipped galleries. While I’ve listed the average set size is 120 photos, that is nothing more than a stab in the dark because there are photo sets with only five photos, and some with over 300.
However you slice the photo collection here at the Ladyboy Gold Network, photo collectors will find a lot to be happy with. Heck, even some video collectors like me will find themselves downloading the sets.

The site also offers some extras. I noted above that beyond the 10 sites / channels listed officially, there is an 11th (sort of) channel available as well. It’s titled “T-Girls and Shemales,” and it may or may not be exclusive to Ladyboy Gold. This channel hasn’t updated since 2017 and there are 212 videos available. Most of the scenes here appear to feature Brazilian or other South American models. For fans of Brazilian T-Girls, this will be a welcome bonus.

Other available extras are “Amateur Ladyboys,” which features a large collection of professionally shot photos of amateurs. There is a link for “Candid Ladyboys,” which is a very small collection of older videos, which appear to have been shot behind the scenes. There’s also “Ladyboy on Ladyboy,” which is a small collection featuring, you guessed it, exactly what the title says. There is also a small collection of sex stories for those interested in reading them.

Another extra which makes a lot of sense on a ladyboy site, is called a “Ladyboy Hot Spots Guide.” I only did a shallow dive into that, but it seems to offer a lot of useful information for anyone who may be interested in going to locations where ladyboys hang out.

The last extra is a printable current year calendar featuring a (mostly) clothed ladyboy model each month. If I could get away with it, the lovely ladyboy for the current month would be smiling down on me now from my wall.

While your own opinion may vary, I found the extras offered here added to the site’s overall value.

Let’s discuss the pricing. Ladyboy Gold Network is huge, with a lot to offer for the monthly subscription fee of $40 USD. Yes, it is not cheap. Given my own experience here, if after reading this review and doing a dive into the site tour pages, readers are interested, they may want to consider joining using the 90-day option instead, which is a much better deal. There really is that much available here.

Reader, I realize this was a long review but to write a shorter review would be to not do the Ladyboy Gold Network justice. The network has been around for a while, and I’ve kicked around review sites for a while, so I have read other reviews of this site. Those tend to be short and don’t give much information to prospective subscribers. Unsurprisingly I think, no reader will be surprised to learn that I am wholeheartedly recommending a membership at the Ladyboy Gold Network for anyone and everyone who even has a passing interest in ladyboy porn.
It really is that good. The models look fantastic, the sex is hot and varied, there is some kink and some vanilla for everyone, the scenes are well shot, the site is enormous, downloads and streaming are available, photo collectors will find a vast collection of professionally shot photo sets, there are some interesting extras thrown in, and there are still updates being added regularly.
