Gay Solos
site reviews > Solo men > Gay Solos
Gay Solos is a new jackoff site with a twist, and the twist is High Definition videos. For those who aren't familiar with HD videos, they are huge and great quality - I love HD movies! The sample video here tells the story. If you watch it, be sure and go full screen and you'll feel the way I do. The cock closeups shows those dicks truly full sized as the amateur models jerk and stroke their hard rods for the camera and I can't wait to see the cumshots, so let's log in and take a closer look at Gay Solos!
The first thing I noticed about the Gay Solos tour and member area is actually the size of the pages - they're bigger than web pages on most other sites. Since Gay Solos is for fast connections and big screens, looks like they decided to go all the way and make their pages for users with their monitors set at 1024x768 or bigger. If you're on 800x600, you might want to go into properties and resize your screen and if you're on dialup, unfortunately this is probably not the site for you.
On the main member page you'll find the menu on the left side of the page. Beside a link to HOME, it also includes LATEST UPDATES, HD VIDEOS, PHOTO GALLERY and BONUS REALITY SITES. Underneath are a several ads for various things and on the right you'll find a link to the latest update including a big sample pic to give you an idea of the guy and the action.
There are currently 24 videos which are actually 12 guys, each movie shown in 2 parts. That means they've added 6 guys in a total of 12 videos in just over 9 months, which is when we first reviewed the site. Still, there's nothing I love more than seeing really big videos and the HD versions of each of these is fucking awesome. The HD movies are actually 1280x720 (wow!) and stream at 1995k. While the vids are constrained to a somewhat smaller size in the player on the page, all you have to do is go full screen using the handy link under every video player and prepare to be impressed because this video is still very good quality at full screen. This is really good quality - much better than I'm used to seeing and the closeups seem like you could just reach out and touch those cocks! Btw, for those who aren't on a fast broadband connection, Gay Solos also offers standard size videos so you won't miss out.
Something to keep in mind if you decide to watch the HD versions of the videos - and I recommend you do. Quality like this means bigger file sizes which means longer download times. If you're on standard DSL or cable, you may occasionally notice the video stopping to sort of catch up. If you want to avoid this, either download the video to your harddrive or let it fully load in the player before you watch it. If you do, you'll find these movies play very smoothly.
The Gay Solos videos start off with an interview of each of the guys and let me tell you, the interviewer (who is also the camera man) sounds hot! He's got a warm, rich voice and sounds friendly even when asking some very sexual questions. Unfortunately we can't see the interviewer, no matter how much we might like to, but we can see the guys he talks with. It seems that Gay Solos folks run an ad for male talent to go into porn, and so the horny guys here are mostly amateur but willing and eager to go pro.
Beside the videos, members also get access to good quality pics in the galleries section. They are shown at a screen size of 688x1029, which is bigger than most pics I see around. Each gallery opens in a new window and contains over 100 pics including stripping, showing off and masturbation. In some of the galleries, the pics don't seem to be quite in order and you may find an occasional dressed pic in the middle of pics of the model jacking off.
If you're looking for more HD videos, members of Gay Solos also get access to another site in the same network. This one is called Gay Resort and is also new. Members also get access to 4 of my favorite third-party bonus reality sites. They are He Likes It Big, His First Gay Experience, Gay Blind Date XXX and Twinks For Cash XXX. There are 2 more gay bonus reality sites and 4 more regular gay bonus sites, so I think the bonus section adds a lot of porn for members, although not HD porn.
For those who are looking for huge and very high quality jackoff videos, Gay Solos definitely delivers the goods. The HD videos look great at full screen and there are standard sized videos for people on slower broadband connections although there is nothing in this site for dialup users. There are also exclusive pics of the guys getting naked and stroking their cocks, but the one downside to this site is that it's brand new and doesn't offer that many vids yet. To help with that issue, members get access to the other new HD site in the network as well as a nice selection of gay bonus sites. If you're looking for a huge site full of videos, this may not be the site for you but if you're looking for true HD movies and very high quality, Gay Solos is definitely worth checking out!

My rating:
You are right, the HD stuff is awesome, but not enough. I wanted more, and yet at the same time, it wasn't all that, once the novelty wore off.
Price is okay for what you get, and it is better to download then play. Good smooth action, and I love HD.
