Rear Stable
Review date: Oct 30, 2007
Total Score: 83/100
If you’re a fan of the men and the videos of Raging Stallion Studios, Rear Stable is just what you’re looking for. It’s a good-sized collection of Raging Stallion videos and pic sets with all the horny and masculine stars you’ve come to expect. The tour shows a sample pic from the latest updates along with the dates added, so we can see that there is a new video added once a week. The tour also offers access to 4 bonus sites. Now it’s time to log in and take a look at the member area of Rear Stable!
The member area of Rear Stable is called THE BUNKHOUSE. That is where you’ll find all the latest updates, dates for the latest live shows, men of the year plus the 4 main bonus sites. There is a navigation bar near the top of the page, a search box on the right and links to member support and billing at the bottom of the page.
With titles like Bound, Beaten & Banged, Cops Gone Bad and Take it Like a Man, you know just what kind of performers to expect - and you’d be right. There are 175 Stallion Men inside Rear Stable, most of them masculine, sexual and very hot. There’s lots of muscular and hairy guys here, and plenty of pornstars - REAL pornstars like Michael Brandon, Matt Sizemore and Max Grand. These are men who really know how to fuck, and they don’t hold back in these videos.
The videos here are scenes from DVD titles. There are 79 DVDs currently listed, and a new scene is added to the site each week. These are on average around 4 scenes per title - some have only 2 or 3 and others have 6 or 7. The movies are offered in your choice of streaming or downloadable. The downloadable vids are WMVs shown at 640×480 with a bitrate of arond 700k. They look pretty good, although they do lose some quality if you go full scene with them. Sound is good and they play smoothly, but it is worth mentioning here that the downloadable videos use DRM, and probably cannot be played after your membership expires.
The streaming videos are offered in both WMV and Flash formats. Both formats are offered in multiple sizes, the largest of which is shown at 640×480. The video quality of the streaming vids is very similar to the downloadable vids - pretty good. For those on slower broadband or dialup, both streaming video formats are available in 3 slower speeds - 300k, 180k and 38k.
Each DVD page has links to some pic sets from the video - some have just a couple, some have 5 or more sets. The photos are digital stills, not vidcaps, which is good news, and most of the pics are shown at around 500×750 at average porn quality. They look good, but not great, and each set can be browsed as a thumbnailed gallery or enjoyed hands-free as a slideshow.
Rear Stable has a few more features I liked. One is that you can rate each DVD, each pic set and each man and see the overall ratings for each. The other is that you can both leave your own comments on each DVD and man, and read others’ comments. This is fun, and it’s also a kick when one of your favorite models has a very high rating. And for those of us who like the music in the videos, there’s a section in the member area called Music To Fuck To where you can stream all the music.
And let’s not forget that Rear Stable has a weekly live show plus over 100 archived live shows. These shows feature the same men you’ll find in the movies, and not only can you talk to them and make requests, but they stroke their stuff for the camera. The live show and archives add a lot of value for members.
The XXX Cinema section is where most of the bonus content is. There are over 30 feeds there, including a live cam house, a couple premium bonus sites and some ezines. Of course, Rear Stable members also get access to several more Raging Stallion sites - Sexy Gaymes, Hot Barebacking, Bang Bang Boys and Collin Oneal.
With a large selection of Raging Stallion videos and some of the hottest stars in porn, Rear Stable has a lot to offer. There are over 300 videos to keep members busy and also over 100 photo sets as well as a weekly live show, 4 more Raging Stallions sites and a collection of bonus content. While the videos can be downloaded, they do use DRM - which is really my only complaint about the site. Otherwise with regular updates and plenty of horny masculine studs fucking and sucking and shooting their loads, Rear Stable is a site that’s definitely worth visiting!

Hairy Boyz
Review date: Oct 25, 2007
Total Score: 80/100
Hairy Boyz is a site for those of us who like men with body hair. There are some very furry muscle bears here, as well as otters and wolves. The men here are fit, masculine, horny and hairy, and the site offers plenty of hardcore gay sex, and the tour shows us a preview of every model, video and pic set from the member area. There’s even a short sample from each of the over 100 videos.
The main member page of Hairy Boyz is called The Den. That’s where you’ll find the latest updates, links to the various parts of the site and the dates for the live shows. There are some ads on the lower left side of the page, but they’re pretty easy to avoid. The site says it updates once a week with a new video, and that does seem to be the case, although the updates are not dated, so it’s hard to know exactly how regular the updates are.
Hairy Boyz currently offers over 140 videos. The vids are offered for download in WMV format and can be streamed in both Flash and WMV formats. The downloadable videos are shown at 640×480 at around 700k, and are full scenes. While these movies look pretty good, they are not good enough to go full screen without losing sharpness and quality. If you love your videos big, these may be good enough, but don’t expect high quality at full screen. One thing worth mentioning is that the downloadable WMVs do use DRM, so you will probably not be able to play them after your membership expires.
The streaming videos are offered in 4 speeds each - WMV at 700k, 300k, 180k and 38k and the Flash vids at around the same speeds. The highest speed vids are shown at 640×480, and the players allow you to fast forward, turn up the volume, pause and all that good stuff. You can also go full screen with the streaming vids. The videos play smoothly if you’re on a fast enough connection for the speed you choose.
Looking for pics? Hairy Boyz also offers 280+ pic sets. The more recent sets display the photos at 480×720 and the older sets show them a little smaller. While these pics are not large, they are a medium size that shows all the action. Pics are average in quality, which means that they have no artifacting or blurring, and generally look pretty good. Each gallery can be watched as a slideshow, although downloadable zip files are not offered.
Now let’s talk about the men of Hairy Boyz. They range from normal everyday-guy hairy to hairy to really hairy, and there’s a fair amount of guys with facial hair, as well. We’re talking otters, muscle bears and wolves. What you won’t find here are chubs or bears - this is a hairy site, but most of the men are lean or muscular. A lot of the men here are masculine and hot; in fact, some are model-quality. And there’s plentty of hardcore. This is not your basic solo site. Hairy Boyz men are into action, so expect plentty of raw no-holds-barred fucking, cock sucking and more.
Hairy Boyz members also get access to more. They offer a collection of hairy men sex stories and an exclusive comic strip series in the XXX Stories section. The XXX Cinema section offers 25+ feeds and bonus sites as well as 2 ezines and access to the live show and over 130 archived live show videos. While I really liked both the live show and archives, keep in mind that this is a shared live show throughout their network, so some of the men are pornstars but not hairy.
Hairy Boyz delivers a good sized collection of exclusive videos and pics of men who range from hairy to wow! The models here are mostly hunky and very horny, so expect plenty of hardcore gay sex in the videos. Vids can be streamed or downloaded, but the downloadable vids do use DRM, so they will not play after your membership expires. There are plenty of solo and hardcore pic sets, as well as an exclusive Hairy Boyz comic strip, a weekly live show and hairy stories. Members also get access to a collection of bonus sites. If hairy men with hard cocks turn you on, be sure and check out the men at Hairy Boyz!

Xtra Inches
Review date: Oct 20, 2007
Total Score: 77/100
Michael Brandon, Arpad Miklos, an amateur guy named Fabian - what do they have in common? Well, you’ll find them all inside Xtra Inches, a site filled with well-hung men. There are other big dick sites on the web, but something I like about Xtra Inches is that they don’t doctor their pics and videos. All the cocks inside the site are simply bigger than average cocks. This site is dedicated to large dicks - it offers videos, pics and even a big dick comic. Sound good? I think so, so let’s take a look at the member area of Xtra Inches!
The member area menu is on the left side of the page, and there are no ads on it - everything listed is content. Below are links to various sections of the site and finally a single small banner linking to a DVD store. To the right is the site news, which is mostly announcements telling who will be in each live show. Below that are the latest updates in various categories, and at the bottom of the page is a glimpse at the up-and-coming update with a big pic of his cock.
When it comes to videos, Xtra Inches holds its own. There are currently 115 videos in the member area. The videos can be downloaded in WMV format and are shown at 640×480 at around 700k. They’re good amateur quality - sometimes very good amateur quality - but lack the sharpness of high quality videos. For those who don’t want to download, there are two streaming formats - WMV and Flash. The highest quality WMVs are the same size and bitrate as the downloadable videos, and the best quality Flash vids are 640×480 with a slightly higher bitrate than the WMVs. Even so, I prefer the WMVs as the motion is more natural. The streaming vids come in 4 sizes, so members with any internet connection can enjoy them.
One thing worth mentioning here is that the downloadable videos use DRM. That stands for digital rights management, and it means that you will need to input your username and password for each video, and once your membership expires, the videos will no longer play. Mac users, please note: DRM is not compatible with Mac, so you will not be able to play the videos.
The archived live shows are offered in Flash format and are shown at 320×240. While these videos can’t be downloaded, they are definitely worth watching as there is plenty of guys - mostly pornstars - with great big dicks as well as all the other things that happen in a live show.
Xtra Inches also offers 206 pic sets. Some are vidcaps while others are digital stills, which are pics shot with a digital camera. The digital stills are shown at just over 500×700 and are fairly good quality. The vidcaps are offered at around 640×380, and they’re not great quality but they do get the job done. Each pic set includes a description of the action and offers the pics in a thumbnailed gallery and also as a slideshow. Since each pic set can be rated, you can give your favorites a “5″.
The men of Xtra Inches are indeed well hung, and there’s plenty of hardcore action as well as solo J/O shoots. I must admit, though, that some guys have cocks that are 7″ or so, and while that’s big, it isn’t huge. Luckily there are plenty of 9 and 10 inchers here, as well. Both pics and videos give a good selection of closeups and although most of the amateur shoots are done on a couch or bed, there’s a lot of variety of location and action in the pornstar section.
Members looking for more will find it in the XXX Cinema section. There are 35+ feeds and bonus sites in a variety of niches, many of which update and a couple of which - He Likes It Big and Well Hung - are big-cock themed. There’s also a link to XXX Comics which leads to an exclusive gay comic called Xtra Inches. There are 12 episodes of Xtra Inches, and the comic shows the adventures of a massively endowed man called Richard. Definitely a must-read.
Xtra Inches offers members well-hung guys in a variety of movies and pics, and new content is added a little more often than once per week. There are plenty of huge cock pornstars as well as some horny big dick amateurs, and while most of the amateur pics and videos are solo, a lot of the pornstars do what they do best. The videos can be streamed or downloaded, but the downloadable vids do use DRM and can’t be played after your membership expires. Xtra Inches also offers a live show featuring mostly well-endowed pornstars, and members also get access to over 35 feeds and a big cock comic. The bottom line - if you like ‘em big, why not check out Xtra Inches and see what they have to offer!

Bang Bang Boys
Review date: Oct 10, 2007
Total score: 76/100
Don’t let the word “boys” fool you - Bang Bang Boys is definitely a no-twinks zone. It IS, however, a great place to see hunks and real men - men with athletic, muscular bodies and a very masculine presence. Most of the guys look like they should be on the cover of Playgirl, which is always a good thing. This site features both solo men and hardcore gay videos, and the content here is exclusive, so let’s head off the the member area and take a closer look!
There are currently 70 exclusive videos in the member area of Bang Bang Boys offered as full scenes. The streaming versions are in your choice of Flash or WMV shown at around 640×480, and each comes in 4 sizes with the highest bitrate a little over 700k. The downloadable vids come in WMV format and are shown at 640×480 with a streaming speed of around 700k. The streaming Flash vids are my streaming format of choice for 2 reasons - one is that they are a little better quality than the streaming WMVs and the other is that they can easily be fast-forwarded even before they are fully loaded. But I also like the downloadable WMVs as having a video on your own harddrive gives you more control.
The videos are good amateur quality, which means that while they are pretty good, there is a mild lack of sharpness that doesn’t ruin the videos but will be noticeable if you go full screen. Sound is good and the videos play smoothly. One issue you’ll want to know about the downloadable videos is that they use DRM. At Bang Bang Boys 24 hours after you play a saved movie, you will need to be online to play it again so that the license can be renewed. I believe that this means that after your membership expires, the movies will be unable to play, however you can burn a copy of the movies you like to DVD so you can enjoy them later.
Bang Bang Boys currently offers members over 125 exclusive photo sets. The pics are shown at around 600×900 and quality varies but is generally pretty good. What’s really impressive here is the photography, which is mostly semi-pro to magazine quality. The pics are very well lit, which lets us really feast our eyes on what we’re there to see - the men! The pics convey all the mouthwatering details from cock size to body hair to pre-cum.
The men of Bang Bang Boys are definitely men, not boys. A lot of them are true model-quality hunks with handsome faces, well-muscled bodies and throbbing cocks. There are both hairy men and tattooed men here, too, as well as full model profiles. The action here includes hardcore fucking and sucking, assplay, solo and toys, masturbation and a couple threesomes. While a lot of the videos here take place in beds on clean white sheets, there are some hot outdoor scenes, some of which take place in or at a pool. Bang Bang Boys does not, however, take us to a lot of exotic locations for their shoots.
There’s another section inside Bang Bang Boys that I really liked. It’s called Men Live, and not only is that where you’ll find the weekly live shows - it’s also where you’ll find over 100 archived live shows featuring men like Michael Brandon and Manual Torres. The live shows happen on Sunday evenings, and both they and the archived shows are shown at 320×240 and they cannot be downloaded.
Bang Bang Boys members also get access to 4 hot bonus sites in the same network. All feature manly men and regular updates.
Most of the Bang Bang Boys men are hot enough to do underwear ads, and here you get to see them as they suck cock, play with their asses and shoot their loads. The videos are good sized and fairly good quailty, but the downloadable WMVs are DRM protected, and probably won’t play after your membership expires. The site adds a video every 6 days, a pic set around twice a week and an archived live show 2 - 3 times per month, and the bonus sites will also help keep you busy. If masculine model-quality men turn you on, Bang Bang Boys definitely delivers!

Randy Blue
Review date: Oct 10, 2007
Total Score: 87/100
Randy Blue has always been near the top of my personal “must see” porn site list. That’s because the site has a lot to offer - a large collection of pics and videos featuring all sorts of horny guys, mostly in their 20’s, as they fuck, suck and jack off. Beside offering members regular updates, this is also one of the most searchable sites around with a variety of options for both pics and videos. If you haven’t visited Randy Blue before, read on for a look at what the site has to offer.
The member home page has everything I like to see. The navigation links run across the top of the page followed by site news. You can easily find the date for the next live show plus links to the latest pic updates, latest video updates and lastest DVD udpates, all shown with the dates each pieceo f content was added to the site. There’s also a featured guy, a link to the live show archive and at the bottom of the page you’ll find a link to support.
Randy Blue videos and pic sets feature a variety of hardcore, solo and toy action, and the guys range from slender and smooth to muscled and athletic. Most of the guys fall somewhere in between the two, being fit with hot bodies without being bodybuilders or twinks. Whether they’re fucking and sucking or jacking off, most of the models in Randy Blue are attractive and horny.
There are currently 373 videos, each offered in 3 sizes/speeds of downloadable videos - 1024K , which is shown at 640×480, 512k, which is shown at 480 x 360 at a little higher bitrate than 512k and 56k, which is shown at 160×120 and at a bitrate of just over 100k. All the videos look good for their sizes and speeds, have good sound and are fast to download, which is a real plus. While the downloadable videos at Randy Blue do use DRM, it is “silent” DRM, which means that you don’t have to put in your username and password to acquire a license. On the other hand, it may mean that the videos you download won’t play after your membership expires.
For those who don’t want to download the videos, or who can’t use DRM, each Randy Blue video can also be streamed in Flash format. These vids are shown at 640×480 and adjust to match the speed of your internet connection, although you are free to change speeds if you prefer. At my connection speed, which is Broadband, the videos look as good as the downloadable videos. They can be fast forwarded without fully loading and can be zoomed to full screen, and I was very happy with them.
Each video also comes with a set of vidcaps, which are the same size as the videos and a lot better quality than the vidcaps I usually see.
There are currently 810 sets of pics. Each photo set comes in 2 sizes - 768×1024 and 640×480. Both sizes are good amateur quality that show the action well, and you can zoom into the pics with parts you’d like to see closer up. You can browse each pic set as a gallery or see the pics as a slideshow with adjustable speed you can set, and you can even turn any pic you want from color to black and white with the click of a button.
Randy Blue also offers members some non-exclusive content. There are currently 99 DVDs, each with multiple scenes. These DVDs are offered in the same sizes and options as the exclusive videos, and there are 2 - 3 new DVDs added per month. In addition to the exclusive vids and pics and the DVDs, members get access to 17 feeds, 1 bonus site and 4 ezines.
In my opinion, there aren’t many sites to rival Randy Blue. The site offers members multiple weekly updates, good quality exclusive content plus a DVD library and a selection of bonus content. Navigation is simple and there are live shows featuring the guys from Randy Blue. Two things that stand out for me is the large amount of content already in the member area and the guys. They are mostly fit, athletic and hot guys in their twenties who get down for the camera, sometimes in solo masturbation vids and sometimes in action with other horny guys. The bottom line is that Randy Blue is a great site with a lot to offer, and if you haven’t visited yet, why not head on over and see more of what Randy Blue has to offer!

Collin O’neal
Review date: Oct 11, 2007
Total Score: 71/100
Collin ONeal is a hairy hunk who’s made a number of movies for Titan Media, Raging Stallion and Falcon as well as other well-known studios. Now Collin is casting and directing his own gay porn movies, and he has a website where porn fans can go to enjoy watching him and other horny guys as they fuck, stroke and suck. Collin finds his guys in a variety of countries and situations, and he also uses pornstars like Edu Boxer and Sebastian Cruz . The site is well-organized and the men are guys who turn Collin on. So far, so good! Now let’s visit the member area of Collin ONeal and see what we find.
The Collin ONeal member home page has the menu on the left, and underneath you’ll find links to buy DVDs, join the mailing list and model for Collin. On the right you’ll find the site news followed by the latest video, latest pics, most popular update and the bonus sites. Each listing is shown by model name and member rating, but there are no dates showing when each update was added to the site.
Collin ONeal currently offers 44 videos offered in both downloadable WMVs and streaming Flash and WMVs. The streaming videos come in multiple bandwidths, the best of which is around 700k for the WMVs and a little higher for the Flash vids. The highest quality videos are shown at 640×480 with good sound, and most are good amateur quality or better. That being said, I found the WMVs played noticeably more smoothly and were a little higher in quality. The additional sizes of both formats of videos are 300k, 180k and 38k, the 38k being very small but the quality is good for dialup users.
For those, like me, who prefer downloadable movies, there’s a downloadable WMV which is the same size quality as the streaming WMV. The one catch with the downloadable movies is that they use DRM, and not just any DRM - according to the Collin ONeal join page, “You will be prompted for your user name and password for different videos in the site once every 24 hours”. While they do not mention it, this probably means that the videos will not play for members once their membership expires.
Collin ONeal also offers 43 photo sets, each set offered in a thumbnailed gallery and a hands free slideshow. The pics have a screen size of 900×675 and vary in quality from amateur to good amateur. These are digital stills, not vidcaps, and show the action very well including a good seletion of closeups.
Collin ONeal’s men are all attractive, and the site shows a variety of performers including turkish, brazilian and spanish guys. Most of the men here are hunks, with muscular physiques and a very masculine presence, and some are hairy, too - like Collin himself! There are twosomes and threesomes, and a good variety of indoor and outdoor locations. There are also a few guys who are not big and hunky but are often paired with bigger guys. The action here is hot and stands out from the sex on a lot of other sites because these are men who really love fucking and getting their cocks sucked. There’s a lot of energy and passion in these shoots as well as plenty of cum-filled cocks.
Collin has two more sections that are exclusive to his site - his blog and “Travelling with Collin”. The blog isn’t updated that often, but it IS updated and it tells all about Collin, his shoots, his friends, his sexual encounters, his travels - it’s a a hot and interesting read and a definite must-see for Collin ONeal fans. Travelling with Collin are his travel photos from various countries, including Collin at airports, hotels and points of interest. Both these sections are great if you’re into behind the scenes stuff.
I think this is a good site, however I did have a couple issues. The downloadable vids use DRM that requires you to relicense every 24 hours, and the site is not updating regularly nor is it clear when or if new content is added.
Even so, Collin ONeal has a lot to offer - pretty good quality exclusive content, an excellent variety of masculine men and Collin himself. The streaming videos are offered in 2 formats and 4 sizes and both the downloadable and streaming videos are big and good amateur quality. The 4 bonus sites are all good stuff from Pistol Media, and are a very good match for this site. Whether you’re into the kind of guys you find in Falcon and Raging Stallion videos, or you’re a Collin ONeal fan, Collin ONeal is definitely worth checking out!
