review of Gay Videos Plus, 2010-03-21

Gay Videos Plus says on their tour: "The biggest archive of gay porn XXX videos on the Net!!" I dont know about it being the biggest, but gay porn collectors are going to be happy when they get into this site. Gay Videos Plus has over 1,000 videos available for members to download. And since the site doesnt utilize any DRM technology, theyre yours to keep, burn to DVD, and watch as many times as you want. And with four photo galleries and four videos added every week, Gay Videos Plus is a great deal for porn-hungry surfers.

In the "Video Downloads" section members have two options where the videos are concerned. Many of the videos can be streamed on the site in Flash format (1.16 Kb), but members can also download all of the videos and add them to their private collections. The size of the videos varies quite a bit. For instance, one video was streaming at 340 x 230 screen size on the site, but when I downloaded it I got a WMV that was 1024k and 640 x 480 screen. And this isnt necessarily a bad thing because you can quickly view the Flash streaming video to see if its something youd like to download and keep. When you download it youre getting a higher quality and larger version video in a user-friendly format like WMV. Unfortunately most of the older videos are only available for download.

The videos are sorted into 18 different categories including amateurs, bears, bareback, Black, fetish, Latino, leather, studs, and twinks. So this makes it easy to watch and download the kinds of videos you like best. And the sites "exclusive" videos are labelled, so you can watch and download those first.

Gay Videos Plus has over a thousand photo galleries, too, and theyre also sorted into 18 different niche categories. The photos also range in size and quality from 500 to 1600 pixels on the long side. Some of the photos are exclusive to this family of sites, but the majority are stock photos that surfers can find on other gay porn websites, as well. Because of the variety of photographers, the quality of the photos does vary, however most are good amateur qualtiy or better.

Gay Videos Plus also has a "Streaming Video" section that offers members bonus video feeds from almost 30 third-party providers in a wide variety of niches. These solo and gay sex videos are mostly streaming-only, but they do add a lot of content. Its an added bonus to your membership, but given the large selection of downloadable videos in the main part of the site, Id start there first.

Aside from four photo and four video updates every week, members also get bonus access to five other sites: His First Gay Experience, Gay Blind Date XXX, Twinks for Cash XXX, He Likes It Big, and Wild Gay College Parties. These videos vary in size from 320x240 to 860x480, and they are not exclusive to Gay Videos Plus. The videos are available to stream only (and usually in dial-up and broadband versions) and there are several dozen videos in each members area.

Gay Videos Plus doesnt produce video content itself, but the site is a part of a larger family of gay porn sites. The site owner does commission exclusive videos for these sites, so some of the videos on Gay Videos Plus are exclusive to this network. If you join any of his other sites, like Real Gay Videos for example, youre going to have access to all of the same content.

All in all, Gay Videos Plus is well worth the $29.95 monthly membership fee. You simply wont be able to get through their entire inventory of downloadable videos in one month. I liked the frequent updates - the site adds 4 new vids and 4 photo sets per week. A couple things that would really improve this site is more consistency with video and photo sizes. Also it would be nice if all videos were available in both streaming Flash and as WMV downloadable zipped files and at the same bitrate and screen size. The bottom line - if you factor in all of the updates, bonus sites and feeds, Gay Videos Plu will keep members busy for their entire 30-day membership.
