Helix StudiosIf you're a fan of twink and college boy porn, chances are you're familiar with Helix Studios. They've got some of the hottest guys from 18 to 24 around, and there's a wide variety of action and models to choose from. Expect plenty of smooth-chested boys, Latin guys, bare-butt spanking, bareback and more. Non-members can preview all the videos they'd find in the member area, and 30+ of the newer episodes include sample videos. The tour promises 5 updates per week, over 1200 DRM-free downloadable videos and zipped pic sets. Sound good? Then join me for a look at the member area.

The Helix Studios member area is easy to use and gets right to the content. The lastest updates are in rotation at the top of the page, and are also listed below in a larger group of thumbed updates which can be sorted to show the most popular videos if you prefer. To the right is a list of up and coming updates, listed with dates. The site adds new videos 5 days per week, and each is dated on its own page, showing that the site adds new videos 5 days a week. The site currently offers a whopping 1453 videos, which are a mix of full scenes from 264 DVD titles and some web exclusive videos, as well.

Helix StudiosThe videos are all offered as downloadable and streaming MP4 videos and also downloadable WMV's. The biggest and best newer vids are the HD MP4's, which are shown at 960x540 with bitrates around 1.8 Mbps. All the vids are available as the HQ videos, which are shown at 640x360 in both formats, the MP4's a little better than the WMV's. Each vid is also available in streaming MP4 shown at about the same sizes as the HQ videos. And there's a smaller version for iPods and other portable devices and cell phones that worked great on iPhone and iPod Touch. All the vids here are good amateur quality, and they are all DRM-free.

The newer photos Helix Studios pics are mostly digital stills, shown at 650x975 at good quality. The older galleries I checked out were vidcaps shown at around 640x480, give or take a few pixels, the oldest were shown at 480x360. The vidcaps are about what you'd expect - some are okay, while others tend to be blurry or grainy. All pic sets can be browsed in thumbnailed galleries or downloaded in zip files.

Helix StudiosHelix Studios offers some very hot twinks and horny college students with hard cocks. The oldest videos are all spanking videos, including a variety of interesting plots and some extremely red asses.

The site also offers plenty cuties doing some serious sucking and fucking in their 8Teenboy and HotStuds lines, dorm action from the Fratboy DVD's and 2 smaller collections - barebacking and Latin boys. Except for the oldest videos, lighting is good as is camera work, which shows off the penetration, the kissing, the cumshots, and the boys themselves.

The site doesn't have a lot of issues, but it is worth mentioning that there's a pre-checked email offer on the join page. One other thing worth mentioning is that as far as I can tell, all the scenes in the MOVIES section are also found in the VIDEOS section, but there are some web vids listed in VIDEOS that are not found in MOVIES. The difference is that in the MOVIES section, the videos are listed by DVD.

Helix StudiosHelix Studios delivers on all their promises including downloadable DRM-free videos and 5 weekly updates. But where the site really comes through is the boys. There are plenty of smooth, slender twinks and very horny college guys who aren't shy about kissing, sucking cock and fucking on camera. And not only is there plenty of gay sex, but there are over 450 spanking videos. While the older videos could be higher quality, they aren't bad, and the site is packed with more content than most members could ever watch - there are literally hundreds of hours of videos. The bottom line - if you love twinks and college boys with hard cocks, Helix Studios is definitely worth a visit!

If u like young looking men this website is for you, otherwise, try something else. However nothing against the site, the quality is good and updates are frequent.
