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!
