Jalif Studio is one of the few sites around that focus on hot Spanish men in gay hardcore action. These aren't just various Latinos; they're guys from Spain, and the tour shows them off well. I spotted some threeways, ass eating, leather, several pissing scenes plus some fisting, and there are trailers of the latest updates. Non-members can preview all the movies and the models, plus read about what the site has to offer: unlimited downloads, weekly updates, 4 bonus sites plus behind the scenes videos. Sound good? Then join me for a closer look at Jalif Studio!
The member home page, like the tour, is easy to use. The latest update is shown at the top of the page, just under the navigation links, and below are more recent updates, most viewed videos and latest models. The site updates pretty frequently - there have been 9 updates in the past 20 days, each update spaced 1 to 3 days apart, but no videos were added in the last 6 days. Still, the site promises weekly updates, and it hasn't missed yet. One thing worth mentioning is that at the bottom of the page are links to latest DVD's, which are DVD's for sale. There are currently 60 videos and around 75 photo sets.
The Jalif Studio videos are DRM-free full scenes that are downloadable in several formats - Quicktime, WMV and 2 sizes of MP4 including one for mobiles. The biggest and best the site has to offer are the Quicktime videos, closely followed by the WMV's. These are shown at 720x406 at from around 2 Mbps to a little over 2.5 Mbps, and they look good. Next come the iPad MP4's, sized at 954x540 with bitrates just over 2 Mbps, and these were a little lower in quality, but weren't bad. Last of the downloadable vids are the iPhone vids, which are MP4's that looked great on iPhone, iPod Touch and my Android phone.
For those who prefer streaming, Jalif Studio offers streaming Flash movies that allow you to choose the size you want, the new vids ranging from 480x270 to full HD at 1920x1080 at bitrates up to 6 Mbps. The older streaming movies are shown at up to 1024x576 at up to 2 Mbps, so both newer and older vids have a lot to offer those who prefer not to download.
Each Jalif Studio model has at least 1 solo photo set - some have 2 or 3 sets, including hardcore as well as solo. The pics are good amateur quality digital stills shown at 1000x1500, and when you find a set you like, it can be downloaded in a zip file.
Now let's talk about the men. There are a lot of masculine guys here with some attitude and intensity, which translates to some serious sexual heat. But there are a few models who are slender, and could be considered twinks. And I did find lots of big uncut cocks, always a plus. There's plenty of hardcore here, from sucking and fucking to kink, and I was surprised at how hot the action is because these are professionally shot studio sessions, and sometimes having a crew in the room can turn down the enthusiasm a notch - but not at Jalif Studio. Their men are definitely into the sex and the cock.
When it comes to extras, there are some good ones here. First off are the 6 behind-the-scenes videos, which are nice if you want to know more in-depth about the content. And then are the 4 gay bonus sites, Alpha Male Fuckers, Bulldog Pit, World of Men and Brash Boys - a nice collection, although there are no additional Latin sites.
Does the site have any issues? A few. First off, despite promises of unlimited downloads on the tour, the site terms say that trial members may be granted only limited access. Next, there's a pre-checked offer on the join page (a cross sale) to the left of the left of the payment type under the form. And last, members pay a separate $1.95 processing fee.
Jalif Studio delivers hot Latin men from Spain in hardcore, kink and fetish action including pissing, fisting and leather. The 60 videos are downloadable and DRM-free, including versions for your mobile. All episodes are dated, and till recently they were frequent. It looks like now the site is updating once a week, which is what they claimed on the tour. Although membership is on the pricy side considering the size of the site, add in the bonus sites and the value improves. If you're into masculine Latin men, guys from Spain and nasty pig sex, Jalif Studio is definitely worth a visit.
