I've known a couple of people who've told me they've done porno in the past, but I haven't actually seen their stuff - maybe one day I will though! Might be odd!

Can't say it occurred to me but I suppose it might be interesting to see if they're a generous scorer or not to put their scores into context. If their average score rating is 70 and they give a site 95, it's gotta be special!

I would if it offered a good reducation in price per month and I knew and trusted the site to keep updating and keep the quality up. There's very few sites that I would trust to that extent, sadly.

I agree with other posters, I had to put "Other" as I am not clear what this is. I don't think I've come across it on any site I've joined. Having read the replies I'm still not sure, but they don't sound like they're much to get excited about.
I hate "bonus" content - I just want a high-quality site which focuses on its core theme and does it well - quality not quantity. Most of us have a LOT of quantity of porno, but mainly because so much of it just isn't quite right.
I don't want more choice, I just want nicer things!
(Bonus points if you know who I'm quoting in that last line sweetie!)

Happened to me - at work! I just told the lady that I enjoyed watching porn and asked if she thought I was a pervert! She was surprised, said no and left it at that.
Hardly a man on the planet who hasn't used porn and in the age of the internet more and more pople have at least tried it a few times.

Heard of both but only from the movies! I get kissing booths though I wonder if sometimes the guy tried for more than a kiss! If it was a local girl everyone knew and people were close by I guess it was okay, but if it's a carnival but no local reputations to maintain and the carnival girl a stranger I wonder!!
I never knew what Tunnel of Loves were - was the idea it was like a romantic ride where you kissed and hugged?

Excellent review as ever - don't suppose there are gay male options? Mind you it sounds like it would never run on my laptop if you have a quad-core machine and it's still running slowly! Sounds like one for hardcore gamers as well as hardcore porn users!

Hey thanks for the advice. I was put off using VPNs though as I read that using them to access websites where you needed passwords and especially credit card details was unsafe, as some of them are disreputable and can access the details you transmit over the VPN?
I also tried a few free ones to try and access regular US TV content and most of them didn't seem to work - the content was still blocked for me.
Also I thought as soon as they get by credit card details they'll be able to figure out it's a UK-based card and block me anyway.
Any advice? I've had credit card fraud twice in the past so extra cautious about this stuff.

Very well-written and thoughtful review. I've never subscribed to a one-person site before and he's not quite my type, but I probably would if I liked the guy enough. Sounds a reasonable price though.

Superb review - this is the best review you've ever written. Much improved quality, well done!
I also agreed with your review - I've reviewed this site too and felt very much the same as you did.

| Pros: |
+ Unique site with guys you very rarely see in gay porn
+ Super-fast download speeds (though see cons for the flip side of this!)
+ Content is dated, with an decent update every week
+ Billing by CCBill
+ No regional billing as far as I can see
+ HD (1280x720) available
+ MP4 and WMV files plus in-browser streaming
+ Good quality, clear, well-filmed videos
+ Good amount of archive material |
| Cons: |
- I suppose to maintain high download speeds, you can only download one movie at a time - download managers and manual multiple downloads won't work
- You need to enter a "captcha"-type security code every time you log in
- Support is non-existant - sent two e-mails via their feedback form which were ignored
- Feedback is allowed on the videos but doesn't seem to be responded to
- Duo scenes marry very different "types", one of which you may dislike
- Site could be organised better - search functions are poor
- Can't download interviews with models
- Photos are sometimes just vidcaps
- Can't see the size of file before you download it - a pain, as HD files are big (1GB-plus)
- HD is MP4 only, no HD WMV option
- Rather too many solo scenes for me - some models are solo-only |
| Bottom Line: |
Alternadudes leapt out at me as a site to try when I found it on TBP, because I love certain types of "alternative" looking men, and you so often don't find them on gay websites - and certainly not on more professional ones.
I love men with long hair, and Alternadudes has lots of them - probably at least a third of the models have long hair, which is great for me!
Their definition of "alternative" is fairly wide, which I like although I suppose purists might quibble with some of them - still, with alternative-looking men in such short supply in gay porn I'd say it's best to be grateful it exists at all!
They tend to focus on rockers, punks, emos, goths, skaters and tattooed or pierced guys. Most guys are white, but there's a fair amount of Hispanic guys too and a few black guys. They tend to be younger, about 18 - 24, but some guys are up to early 30s. I'd prefer some slightly older guys, but there's a good choice here. They have a fair few guys from outside the USA including some uncut guys which is unusual for a US site and goes well with the theme.
Technical wise the site is pretty impressive. I found downloads blisteringly fast - on average at least 2 - 3 times faster than I average on other sites. This is probably due to the fact that you cannot do multiple downloads, manually or with a download manager - kind of a shame but it does mean super-fast downloads. The way they enforce it can be irritating though - you can browse back from the download page to the last page of scenes/models you were on, but it won't then let you go to any other page until your download is finished.
They offer MP4 files in HD (1280x720 @ 8000k) and regular (720x480 @ 2000k), and WMV files though these are 720x480 only. I downloaded all three of one video to compare and was impressed with the quality of the smaller files, and as the HD ones are big (often up to 1GB in size) I stuck with those. I found the MP4 to be subjectively slightly sharper. In-browser streaming is also available (flash-based) at 640x360 and I found it acceptable though not super-fast.
I was initially minded to score this site in the 90s as I was impressed with the video quality, concept of site and fast download speeds.
However a few little niggles made me decide to downgrade it somewhat. I used their support form to e-mail a suggestion but I was ignored despite including my e-mail - same as when I couldn't access the site for a few hours and e-mailed their support address. On a related note, they let you comment on scenes/models and you can rate them good/bad but they don't ever seem to reply to the comments, which is a shame. Their blog doesn't get updated often either.
I appreciated the fast downloading, but I didn't like the way it restricts you from browsing the rest of the site whilst downloading - it took away some of the advantage for me as I want to be able to at least preview other videos whilst I wait for the downloads. There has to be a better way they could do this.
I was also disappointed to find a lot more solo scenes than I expected, though some of these do involve the cameraman getting a BJ which is nice! Sometimes I felt the videos could use a little more imagination - there's rarely any "theme" to them, just straightforward sex in a studio - which may appeal to some but I sometimes like a story/fantasy which they rarely do - and the odd time they did try it, it seemed a bit half-hearted to me. The "XXXtras" they mention are basically desktop wallpapers/calenders which are nicely designed but not really a big bonus, and some "behind the scenes" videos which are - I did enjoy those.
Finally, the variety of "altnernatives", whilst welcome, does mean that some of the duo scenes involved a model I loved but with a model who did absolutely nothing for me. The really out-there emo twinks with make-up, piercings and dyed hair do nothing for me, and they often were teamed with guys I did like. Conversely, some of the guys who just have a few tats or long hair might not be "alternative" enough for some people.
Other minor low points were a "captcha"-type security code to log in every time, poor searching (there's no proper search function as such, and the use of niche cloud tags didn't really make up for it), and the fact you can't download models interviews to keep - a real shame as I love them and find them sexy, and this is the only site I've seen that doesn't allow downloads of them.
Overall this is a site with a great concept well-executed with good choice of files and fast downloads, but the single-download-only restrictions, poor support and feedback and poor search function holds it back a little.
I'll probably rejoin in future, but the one update a week won't be enough to keep a regular member. |
