GayDemon's review of 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 or even try gay sex for their first time - some even come back to do it again! 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 some of whom are straight military guys.

This is our 4th official "review visit" to Buzz West. The site is a Gaydemon favorite for many reasons. The content has grown from 7 to 245 episodes and the quality is as good as when the site started - sometimes even better. The videos and pics are exclusive and the vids are downloadable, too - and there are still some of those hot amateur military and ex-military guys, 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 episode plus a pic from next week's episode. These are followed by some more recent 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. Below that 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. The only ad on the page is on the left below the links.

There are now 245 Buzz West exclusive episodes with 1 more on the way each week. These are not pornstars or pretty boy models - they're real amateurs and average guys whose looks range from very cute to well... 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 pics right there on the page.

The pic quality here ranges 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 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 but very close. The videos play in Media Player. They have good sound and play smoothly. The videos are DRM-free. There are also streaming versions of the videos, also in WMV format and similar in size and quality.

One thing worth mentioning here is that the site has a download restriction - members can only download 1 video at a time. I tried to download 2 to see what would happen, and the first download was terminated as the second video started to download. Since I prefer to download 2 or more videos at a time when I do reviews, this was a minor annoyance.

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. Of course, one of the changes since the site started is that there are now hardcore sessions and also massages that usually end in the model being probed and jacked off.

In case members want a little more porn between updates, there are now 26 bonus feeds - 17 more than on our last visit. 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. Some of the feeds offer a pretty decent broadband (called elite) but all of these provide more cock-sucking, ass-slamming or jacking action.

One other thing worth mentioning is that U.S. residents can get a free DVD with each 3 month membership and 2 free DVDs for each 6 month membership. If you're in the U.S. and were interested in amateur military guys or Buzz West DVDs, this is definitely a good incentive.

There are a number of changes at Buzz West since our last visit. First off are lower prices - the monthly recurring membership is approx $5 less per month and the 3 month membership is $6 less. The site updates once a week now rather than two, the new feature on our last visit of offering MP4 videos seems to have stopped, and there's the download restriction. There are also more feeds to keep members busy between updates.

Buzz West is an attractive site that is easy to use and has some interesting video and pic options. The models are all real amateurs - including many military or ex military boys - shown in good amateur quality pics and videos with several size options of both. The site updates weekly, and the new Live Help feature works great - I tried it - and the bonus content is also a plus. While some of the recent changes weren't what I'd like, in particular that I could only download 1 video at a time, I was happy about the new lower prices. The bottom line is that Buzz West is still a great site, and if you like regular guys, amateurs and ex-military guys, you'll definitely want to check this site out.
