HDK Raw
site reviews > Bareback > HDK Raw
Anyone into gay porn -- especially barebacking -- has probably heard of Hot Desert Knights. They're one of the best-known bareback porn studios around, featuring mature masculine men and plenty of leather and fisting. And now they're bringing their movies to us online in large downloadable videos with their new site, HDK Raw. While Hot Desert Knights already has a website, this new site is easy to use with no advertising or confusing navigation. I'll tell you right off that I like what I'm seeing so let's get right to it!
The member area of HDK Raw is intuitive and a pleasure to navigate. There are links running across the top of the page followed by a list of latest updates for this site and the others in the network. This list isn't linked, but there are thumbs below that are -- and they also lead to the latest updates. To the right side of the page are the bonus sites and at the bottom of the page are previews of the next three videos to be added to the site. There is a link to search so you can search by any keyword to find exactly what you're looking for.
HDK Raw is a pretty new site but so far it updates every couple of days with a new full scene. Each scene is listed with a large thumb, the name of the DVD it's from and the scene number as well as the date it was added to the site and a description or list of the performers.
The HDK Raw videos star the men of Hot Desert Knights. In case you're not familiar, the performers here are mostly ultra-masculine, muscular, often hairy -- and they're all down and dirty sex pigs! These guys love handball, double fisting, plenty of bareback sex and loads of cum. The movies feature stars like Jeff Palmer, Will West, Ray Butler and plenty of names you'll recognize if you're into fisting, leather and bareback sex. You won't believe what the bottoms can take here -- and they love every inch and every drop!
The movies here come in 2 downloadable formats -- WMV and MP4. The downloadable WMVs are shown at 640x480 with a bitrate of 1.49 Mbps. They look good, play smoothly and don't use DRM so they'll play for you after your membership has expired. The MP4s are made with your iPod in mind, so they're smaller -- shown at 320 x 240 with the bitrate of around 500k. I was pretty happy with the download options here, but if you're not in the mood to save any movies, HDK Raw also offers each movie in a streaming WMV. I wasn't as thrilled with these since they are actually 360x288 videos stretched to fit a larger player, and the quality isn't all that it could be. They're watchable but I wouldn't recommend you go fullscreen with them.
Each HDK Raw video comes with a set of pics on the page, shown below the video options. These pics are vidcaps, and they're not particularly good vidcaps. Still, if you're looking to preview each video before watching it, these pics to get the job done.
In addition to the HDK Raw videos, members get access to HDK Central. While the site lists the HDK Raw content, it also includes pictures and videos from another site in the same network, so is definitely worth checking out. In addition members also get access to nine gay bonus feeds including a bareback feed. I'd say that the bonus sites and content definitely add value for members.
I didn't really run into any issues at HDK Raw. Sure, I could quibble and point out that the live cams, while they do have live guys on all the time, aren't you mostly non-nude and charge members if they want to watch any action. But honestly I don't think this hurts the site since we'll were really here for his bareback movies.
HDK Raw delivers the goods! They've got a lot to offer including large downloadable movies, frequent updates, easy to use navigation and hard and horny men in leather fisting up to the wrist and fucking with no condoms. While the site is not huge, it already offers over 120 videos as well as bonus sites and feeds. There's not much not to like about this site -- if you're into gay fisting and hairy or muscular men barebacking, check HDK Raw out - you won't be disappointed!
