site reviews > Videos > Adams Guys
Adam's Guys is a movie site that seems both well organized and well-stocked with videos. The site used to be called Just Us Boys Club, and the name is not the only change the site has undergone. There have been 129 videos added to the site in the last 16 months, and the new vids are being offered at a bigger size. One thing that has stayed the same is that the site's tour mirrors the member area, which means the tour shows every title the site has to offer. The site has also kept its searchability and claims to be both AOL and Mac friendly, which means no DRM.
The Adam's Guys videos are an interesting collection. Some of the movies are their own exclusive videos in 2 categories, many are scenes from DVDs and some are videos made especially for website owners. There are 1329 videos total, all offered in WMV format and downloadable as a full scene. They can be searched by category, rating or by most downloaded, and by keyword in a search box. And here' something I liked - you can browse ALL the movies.
As I browsed the videos, I discovered that Adam's Guys doesn't offer a lot of consistency when it comes to size, quality or bitrate. I found videos at 320x240 with a bitrate of just over 400k - and these smaller videos aren't always the oldest ones, either. I found a lot of videos shown at 480x360 with a bitrate of 600k to over 800k, which is okay quality but nothing special - if you go full screen, you'll definitely notice a loss of quality. And I found some videos at 634x422 with a bitrate of just over 900k. A lot of the newer videos look good at their native size, but I didn't find many vids at Adam's Guys that looked sharp and clear when enlarged to full screen.
Let's talk updates. Adam's Guys doesn't offer dates on their videos, so it's impossible to know how regularly they update. What we do know is that they've added 129 videos in the last 16 months, which means the site has added an average of 8 videos per month. They send us an update notice each week, so although we don't know the exact intervals, we do know that Adam's Guys gives their members new content weekly - probably about twice a week.
Are there any issues with Adam's Guys? Well, yes. One is the lack of dates on the updates. Another issue is that most of the videos don't list the performers in the descriptions, although they sometimes list a single performer's name if he is a big enough pornstar. I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the videos, either - most aren't bad, but they're also not good enough to go full screen and maintain their quality. My last complaint is the lack of consistency in the sizes and bitrates of the videos, which makes quality a bit of a crapshoot with the non-exclusive videos.
Adam's Guys offers a large collection of gay porn in a wide variety of categories and niches. The videos can be searched by keyword or browsed by category, title or rating, or you can simply view the newest first. Among the 1329 videos, there are just over 160 exclusive videos shot for the site. All movies can be downloaded as a full scene in WMV format, although quality varies. There are also over 80 pic galleries, which I believe are taken from some of the exclusive videos. If you're not looking for high quality videos, Adam's Guys has a lot to offer from their huge collection to their searchability to their exclusive vids!
Things we liked:
- Lots of videos
- Videos are downloadable
- No DRM used
- Site is very searchable
- It appears site adds 2 vids per week
Things we didn't like:
- No dates on updates
- Some videos shown at 320x240
- Videos could be higher quality
- Performer names not listed in scene descriptions
- A lot of older DVD titles listed

My rating:
There are tons of movies inside Just Us Boys Club but most of them are small. If you like videos that fill your screen the way that I do, you'll have mixed feelings about this site. On the one hand, there are lots of movies and they are very well organized. Just Us Boys Club has also been adding exclusive videos lately. On the other hand I keep wishing that the videos were 640 x 480 instad of the small size that they are. Too bad because this is a great video collection and updates a lot so you don't get bored of the same thing.
