Austin Wilde is the latest gay star to get his own site from Nextdoor Studios, and he's a hottie. Sporting a great body (love those sixpack abs!), a mischievous smile and a shaved head, his tour shows him jacking off, getting his cock sucked - and doing his share of the sucking - and doing some ass fucking. The tour offers regular live shows and links to Austin's blog. I'm ready for more, so join me as I log in for a closer look!
The Austin Wilde member home page gets you right into the mix as just below bonus site dropdown and member navigation links is the full sized and playable latest video with the download links right below. Underneath are links to the live show, and when there's no show you can see the scheduled times and dates for the next ones. Below and to the left are dropdowns to let y ou search the content, and on the right are latest updates - each with a juicy thumb, member rating and the date added. There was 1 update this month - today is the 7th - and 3 updates last month, but 5 the month before, so I guess we could safely call the updates "irregular". There's a lot of hot guys here, so let's check out the videos.
The videos are DRM-free, and are available in both downloadable WMV and streaming MP4. The WMV's are shown at 720x400 with a 2 Mbps bitrate, and they look good. There's also a smaller version available for those on slower broadband. The streaming MP4's are shown in a Flash player, and 8 are offered in HD, shown at 960x540 plus 2 smaller sizes, while the other vids are shown at about the same size as the downloadable videos. The vids play smoothly and have good sound, and I didn't find any issues with them.
The Austin Wilde photos are digital stills, which is always nice. These are good amateur quality, and are sized at 800x1024, but for some reason are constrained on the page so they appear smaller. The galleries have anywhere from 18 to 275 pics each, most of the larger sets being from the solo shoots. I definitely liked the pics, but I did notice that most don't show hardcore action - I guess they save that for the videos.
Austin seems to have a taste for guys who are like him - college-aged jocks with well-muscled bodies, a taste for cock and who are turned on having sex in front of the camera. There's plenty of dick-sucking - when it comes to blowjobs, Austin likes to give almost as well as to receive - and there's fucking, with Austin topping.
In addition to the pics and videos, Austin Wilde members get access to some more cool stuff. First of all, there are 8 behind the scenes videos in the "On The Set" section. The site also has regular live shows - I'm not 100% sure if Austin is yet doing them, but the guys who are scheduled for the next few days are Nextdoor Studios stars including Rod Daily, Mason Wyler and Samuel O'Toole. And let's not forget that members get access to an entire network of 18 gay/jock, 1 bi and 1 straight sites featuring horny guys and downloadable videos.
I did find a few issues here. First, there's a pre-checked offer on the join page, and when you hit back from the join page, a pop-up appears. There are some thumbs on the left side of the pages that are ads for a live cam site, but could be mistaken for content.
Austin Wilde is a hot guy. I love his shaved head and that "fuck me" vibe, not to mention his great body. The site is fairly new, offering 13 downloadable DRM-free videos and 15 photo sets, but updates aren't all that regular and alternate between regular videos and behind the scenes videos. To make up for this, the site has almost daily live shows with various guys from Nextdoor Studios, plus there's a good selection of exclusive bonus sites from Nextdoor. If you don't mind smaller sites, like boy-next-door type jocks fucking and sucking, and Austin turns you on, Austin Wilde is worth a visit.
