Buzz West
site reviews > Amateurs > Buzz West
Buzz West is a clean, thoughtfully laid out site that is easy to navigate. It's also packed with horny amateur guys who have decided to jack off on camera as well as offering a collection of movies from Dirk Yates! Since the tour mirrors the member area, you can check out every model and also get a feel for the site without joining. There is nice selection of exclusive models, all regular guys who are mostly straight military guys.
This is our third official "review visit" to Buzz West. The site is a Gaydemon favorite for so many reasons. Buzz West DOES do a full update twice a week, as they claim in the tour. The exclusive content has grown from 7 to 142 guys and both the guys and the content quality are as good as when the site started - sometimes even better. This is one of the fastest growing sites around, so let's log in and take a closer look at Buzz West!
Since the member area is almost identical to the tour, if you spent any time checking out the site before joining, you already know how things work. The menu is on the left side of the page and on the right you will find the latest model followed by some of the latest updates. Support can be found on the bottom of the page or in the menu. You can search Buzz West by clicking Models, which takes you to a model index, or by clicking Genres, which opens up 2 categories of content - Buzz West Exclusives and Men of Dirk Yates. Below Genres is a link to Bonus Sites as well as legal stuff, links and a page for potential models. And on below all that is a new feature, Live Support, which is available about 18 hours a day.
There are now 143 Buzz West exclusive models with 2 more on the way each week. These are not pornstars or pretty boy models - they're real amateurs whose looks range from very cute to average. Each guy is previewed with a thumb which, when clicked, takes you to his page where you will find Buzz's description of the guy and the shoot, links to the videos and a full thumbnail gallery of high quality pics right there on the page.
The pics here are good quality, ranging from good amateur to pro-am, and can be viewed in your choice of 213x320, 426x640 or 681x1024. You can browse them as a gallery, watch them as a hands free slide show or even zoom in if you want a closer look. The guys are hot, and apparently pretty turned on to be in front of a camera naked, so the pics are sure to get anyone into straight amateurs pretty heated up.
The videos inside Buzz West can be streamed or downloaded as you prefer. The movies are WMVs and all the Buzz West Exclusives videos are available in 3 sizes - 256k shown at 320x240, 512k shown at 480x360, and 1024k shown at 640x480. Those bitrates, btw, are approximate. The videos play in Media Player. They have good sound and play smoothly. For those with handheld portable devices, the newer movies are also available in MP4 format so you can watch them in your iPod, other MP3 players or PSP.
Some of the models are a little nervous at first, but Buzz talks to his models, and unlike some interviewers, he's not annoying or intrusive. He gets those amateurs to open up a little, then let's them get to work stroking their cocks for us. In both the videos and pics there is a good mix of closeups and full body shots, and he never misses the cumshot.
Beside the exclusive models, Buzz West members get access to 32 Men of Dirk Yates videos with pics. Dirk Yates was one of the pioneers of straight guy videos, and Buzz actually got his start as a photographer for him. Most of the Dirk Yates movies are available in the same sizes as the exclusive movies but some are only available in medium. I've seen some of these models on other sites, but some I've never seen before - and they are fucking HOT!
In case members want a little more porn between updates, there are 9 bonus feeds and a live feed which can be accessed by clicking Bonus Sites in the menu on the left. There's a bear feed, twink feed, first timers feed and more. These feeds are all provided by a single company, so you'll notice a similarity in flavor and quality. Young Elite Gay is the only one that offers a pretty decent broadband feed (called elite) but all of these provide more cock-sucking, ass-slamming action.
Buzz West is an attractive site that is pretty easy to use and has some interesting video and pic options. The best content is the exclusive models, which are all real amateurs - mostly military or ex military boys - shown in good quality pics and videos with several size options of both. Twice weekly updates help the site keep growing and give members something new to check out, and the new Live Help feature works great - I tried it. The Dirk Yates videos are a nice addition and the bonus content is also a plus. I'm impressed that Buzz West is living up to its potential and I consider it one of the better sites around!

- Great amateur models

I am one of those straight professional military types that tend to model for your camera. For the most part I am straight and love women but in the summer heat, seem to reflect back to those hot Texas summer nights where I am my pals played a few boy games. Its hot now and I will sit for your camera if you are interested. I am a photographer also.

I'm unfortunately not as pleased with this site as Gay Demon's reviewer. Although, in the review, it's stated that Buzz West "unlike some interviewers" is "not annoying or intrusive," I found him to be both. His frequent off-screen chatter with or to the guys during the action is more than a bit off-putting. Then again, I've probably been spoiled with the Blake Mason site where, after the preliminary interviews with the guys, the director simply says, "I'll shut up now, and let you have some fun." True to his word, he does ... and both THEY and WE do. :-)
