| Pros: |
- 792 scenes (including bonus scenes), most of them available up to 720p HD, recent scenes even 1080p HD
- 631 models are listed, though many appear multiple times under different names
- All scenes offered as stream and download at very fast speeds
- Detailed model (regular models have interviews available) and scene information available
- Production quality is very high, lightning, cutting and camera work are very professional
- Locations are always matching the scene's content and bedrooms are made up as if they were the model's real bedroom by adding lots of unique decoration, including personal photos
- Stories of LollipopTwinks and TeachTwinks are very creative
- Site navigation is very easy, you can browse by model, tag, rating, views, date, you can mark models and scenes as favourite, manage playlists and even add your favourite parts of a scene to a playlist (you can set a start and stop point)
- Allows multiple downloads and (with timeouts, though) download managers |
| Cons: |
- Bonus scenes count as update and most of them are terrible in quality (video and model quality) and don't match the overall theme of the site
- Ads on the members page and every model/scene page
- Limited Trial (clearly states the limitations, though)
- Pre-checked cross-sales to other sites |
| Bottom Line: |
The GayLifeNetwork is run by Afton Nills featuring access to different sub sites with different themes giving you updates twice a week with 4 scenes on average (total, not per site):
- BeddableBoys (120 scenes) offers mostly scenes from Afton Nills' former DVD releases, scenes are good DVD quality, but not available in HD
- BestBareback (68 scenes) pretty much the same as BeddableBoys, but all scenes are shoot without use of a condom
- GayLifeNetwork (192 scenes) mostly interviews and behind the scenes videos, available mostly up to 720p HD
- LollipopTwinks (135 scenes) gives you twinks in a colourful location sucking on lollipops leading to sucking each others lollipop. Production quality of this sub site is outstanding, don't question the use of lollipops, though. Recent scenes available up to 1080p HD.
- TeachTwinks (143 scenes) is all about naughty things happening at school. Students getting it on with each other, teachers seducing their students. Different locations, great production quality, creative story lines. Recent scenes go up to 1080p HD.
- TwinkLight (51 scenes) includes streaming access to the full TwinkLight movies. Vampire themed twink porn. The movies have great make up, locations and atmosphere, the recent scenes don't reach that standard. Recent scenes available at 1080p HD.
- Twinkylicious (29 scenes) pretty much like BeddableBoys.
- TwinkyToons is a new sub site giving you access to gay cartoons.
As you can see, there is quite a range of themes and content, you can join all sub sites on their own, but it makes no sense since the price stays the same. Afton Nills clearly has a passion for porn and for making videos, videos of the main themes (LollipopTwinks and TeachTwinks) offer outstanding production and video quality in well decorated locations with high quality models. The content is mostly pretty soft, so if you expect hard fucking, you are wrong here, most scenes are sensual with lots of kissing, foreplay and sucking that leads to fucking.
Recent scenes are available up to 1080p HD as MP4 with bitrates around 5Mbits. Most scenes of LollipopTwinks and TeachTwinks are available up to 720p HD MP4 with bitrates around 3Mbits.
The other sites offer lower video quality ranged between 640x360 and 640x480 resolution and about 1.2Mbit bitrate, they look okay, but don't reach today's standards. Still, the scenes and models are very enjoyable. All scenes are available as MP4 in different resolutions. They are Mac-, tablet- and phone-friendly. A large number of scenes is available as WMV, too, but with not as many choices as for MP4 and not up to 1080p HD.
This site is very easy to navigate through and if you have been a member of boycrush.com, boynapped.com or blakemason.com you know how this works. Scenes can be filtered by model, site or category. The site is made for both, people who prefer streaming and people that like to download their content. You can pick favourite models and scenes, add scenes to a playlist and you can even define a start and ending point of a scene.
The site is great for twink lovers, especially if you are into softer hardcore porn. The scenes are shot with a passion for quality and the choice and variety of models is great. |

| Pros: |
Beautiful girls, professionally captured on video and photo, making them look at their best.
Girls look sexy and glossy, but natural enough, to not make them look jaded, old, tired, or professional.
Very high spec video and photo.
A good variety of download and streaming options, including zipped photos.
No DRM, download limits, or regional discrimination.
A massive amount of content, that is also exclusive.
New updates across the network, although some sites are no longer doing this.
Given the amount of content, quite good navigation. The home pages look inviting.
Not too much abuse of the models.
The best network for mass produced porn at a bargain price that looks sensational and expensive. |
| Cons: |
Sadly, pre checked cross selling means the network cannot be trusted.
Home pages slowed down my computer considerably using internet explorer.
Mass produced homogeneous look. Too many photos and videos look the same.
Little build up, stripping, or teasing.
Too many tattoos and fake breasts.
Not enough ethnic, weight, or age diversity. Some models are painfully thin.
Models appear in my opinion, far too many times across the network, and that has worsened recently.
Some sites have stopped updating.
Not great customer support. |
| Bottom Line: |
There was a special $9.95 discount available for a while from PU/TBP, which created a dilemma and even a crisis of conscience. Although I never thought I would subscribe to a site that had pre checked cross selling, I could either steal from them using free download forums, or steal from them legitimately at $9.95, and at that price it certainly is stealing.
I had subscribed to 21 Sextury before, but had not renewed after I had decided not to subscribe to sites using pre checked cross selling. For once I decided to bite the bullet and subscribe for one month, being very careful to cancel early, as renewals were $29.95, a more expensive rate than the usual PU/TBP discount. I must have downloaded about 80gb, and that was a small percentage of new updates since my last time there. I am happy to steal legitimately for this one time.
I have heard members complain of lack of customer support. I had one incident where I was locked out. I contacted customer support and received an automated reply. I was automatically given a new password because the other one was supposedly cracked and being used. This isn't the first site where this has happened. I am getting a lot of this nowadays.
The member pages did seem to slow my computer down a lot. Staying on site meant downloads were slower on IE, so to get higher speeds I left the site, after which download speeds went up. I found it virtually impossible to stream at any time of the day.
To give you an idea of their quality here are some of the picture sizes across the network : 3744x5616 1.5-3mb in size, 3456x5184 around 2mb in size, 3840x5760 2-3mb in size, 2832x4256 1-2mb in size. Videos are 1920x1080 and around 8160 kbps.
The type of model is usually young, white, and slim, with the focus on her for the most part, and there is thankfully not too much abuse, either physically or verbally. The video action starts almost straight away, with no build up or tease, and although you have that mass produced thing where ten photos all look the same, at least you have some glorious shots of the girls, and not too much close up gynaeclogical stuff.
I agree with the view that there are too many samey looking updates, with the same models doing the same thing, from the same angle, in the same lighting, but video and picture dimensions are of very high quality, and it all looks astonishingly professional. Even though there is a large amount of anal and lesbian, there are plenty of other types of vanilla material. One complaint is they seem to be using the same girls many times across the network, possibly just to bump up the number of updates.
For me they are the one network that not only mass produces quality porn that looks sensational, but also gets the balance right between sleaze, eroticism, innocence, and hardcore action. If you could go back four years and show one of these videos or picture sets to a porn fan, they would hardly believe it. You would think the network would charge around $50 for material of this quality. They aren't, so you have to put up with the mass produced look and other negatives. In my opinion they do it better than any other network.
If they didn't have pre checked cross selling I would be a member all the time, and would have little reason to join other sites or download for free. I shouldn't be saying this because I hate them. I hate them because they produce great stuff, but their cross selling means they are not to be trusted. |

| Pros: |
-fantastic girls, the best of europe (mainly Hungarian and Czech)
-the girls know each other very well usually, so there is a good connection
-some scenes have very true emotions
-huge amount of lez scenes
-some really nice life videos of the models
-girls like Sandy, Blue Angel, Sophie Moone, Katy Campbell have their own channel over there with regular updates |
| Cons: |
-the scenes are uninspiring, predictable
-girls wear often awkward dresses and have cheap looking makeups
-regular usage of big toys
-camera often swings around the girls and makes strange looking close ups
-lots of weird, pervert material like girls fighting in a fightclub, extreme stuff (s/m, bondage), lots of scenes focused on anal |
| Bottom Line: |
Porn site that the greatest advantage are the girls that work for them and the filmmakers sometimes donīt interfere too much and let them enjoy, and that is the best they can do:) Otherwise itīs an usual porn stuff, nothing spectaular visually, in terms of new ideas, concepts |
