Lucas Entertainment features videos and pics from gay porn director Michael Lucas. This New York director includes all kinds of guys in his content, with a focus gorgeous hunks who can't get enough cock. The action here looks down and dirty, and if you're familiar with Mr. Lucas' work, you know that there'll be plenty of kissing, fondling and rimming as well as sucking and fucking. The tour offers twice a week updates, 2 new scenes per week, and access to the entire Lucas catalog. Sound good? Then join me for a look at the member area!
The Lucas Entertainment member area starts things off with a navbar on the upper right side. I'd avoid those links and scroll down to the new scenes, which is below the newletter subscribe box. Above the newsletter are links you would probably assume are content - at the top of the page are two wide graphics, one of which says LATEST RELEASES and to the right is one that rotates through scenes. These are actually links to the store, and below are links to casting (for those who want to model), a link to the blog in the free area and another link to the store.
There are currently 297 videos inside Lucas Entertainment - sort of. Some of the videos listed are scenes and some are entire DVDs, which means there are more videos than it seems. On the other hand, some of the videos are long interviews or behind the scenes scenes rather than an actual porn video. A lot of the videos are offered in Flash, Quicktime and WMV, the streaming Flash shown at around 480x330, the Quicktimes at 320x240 @ 320k or better, and WMVs shown at 480x360 at around 350k or so. Quality is mostly average, although there is a definite loss of sharpness and clarity if you go full screen. The WMVs are DRM-protected, although you can download and play the Quicktime videos without DRM.
Now let's check out the pics. There are 548 photo sets shown at around 300x450, which is on the small side but they're good quality and big enough to clearly see the action. There were a couple things I didn't like here - one is that the pics have a long translucent watermark right in the middle of each pic, and the pics aren't downloadable. Lucas Entertainment is currently upgrading their member area, so if you're having trouble finding the model index - which is where the pics are - go to the bottom of a page and click the small text link that says "Models".
Lucas Entertainment has a variety of types of guys from muscular hunks to smooth and slender amateurs - although I'd say more of the models are hunks. The action is down and dirty and mostly in studios or at least indoors. There's plenty of ass licking - a lot more rimming than I see in most sites, and there's also a lot of making out as well as blowjobs and fucking. There are also some piss titles. A lot of the full scenes include interviews conducted by Michael Lucas, some well over 8 minutes. I enjoy interviews, but after 3 or 4 minutes, I'm ready for the action. Still, there's plenty of ass pounding action, too.
One thing worth mentioning is that members get a 25% discount off everything in the Lucas store. That makes sense since there are so many links to buy DVDs, but if you're a fan of Lucas Entertainment or happen across a few videos you particularly like, this discount could come in handy.
I did have a few issues with the site. First off, the WMVs use DRM, so they probably won't play after your membership has expired and also they won't play for Mac and Linux users. Next is the trials - I believe they are limited, which means trial members will not get access to all the site's content and features. Another issue is those large links on the member home page that seem like content but are actually links to the store. One issue that is is currently undergoing a facelift. Since it's in the middle, some pages have one type of navigation, some another, and once in a long while something didn't work quite right.
Lucas Entertainment offers members gay porn shot both for the site and from their own line of DVDs. There are twice a week video updates and plenty of horny men who love sucking cock, fucking and jerking off. The site currently offers 297 videos and 548 photo sets, which is enough to keep members pretty busy. On the down side, the WMVs are DRM-protected, although the 320x240 Quicktime videos (available on some videos) are downloadable and DRM-free. There are plenty of ads, but except for the member home page they're easy to avoid. The bottom line - fans of Michael Lucas videos and those who like watching a variety of gay porn will find this site worth checking out.
