The page members log into inside Muscle Bear Cub is actually a pic section called Husky Hairy Horny. You'll find the navigation on the top of the page shows 25 pic sets plus a sort of camoflaged banner the same size as the preview thumbs - 3 sets are over 400 pics and a couple more are over 200 pics. The pics in this collection are shown at a medium size, mostly around 600x400.
Muscle Bear Cub seems to be part of Lavender Lounge - at least that is the domain most of the content is on. If you're an experienced porn surfer, you will probably recognize a lot of the content inside Muscle Bear Cub. You'll also find some content inside the site that is free sponsor content you can see in various places around the web. That is most of what you will find listed in the HOSTED GALLERIES section, most with plenty of ads. The first section listed at the top of the page is called DIRTY PICTURES. It contains 4 categories of photo sets, so let's check them all out.
The first section inside DIRTY PICTURES is called Dirty Pictures and says there are exclusive original models. While there are some hairy, muscular and stocky pic sets on this page, the first thing I noticed is a model called Ricky Ricardo. I noticed him because he is neither a bear nor a cub nor is he at all muscular - he is be a latin twink. There are 2 sets of him on this page as well as several non-exclusive muscle sets I have seen around before. The best sets on this page are all twink sets, not muscle or bears or husky. There are 26 pic sets in this section ranging from small to medium in size.
One of the four pic sections listed inside DIRTY PICTURES is called Belly Worship. There are 4 categories of bellies inside this section. If you like all kinds of bellies, you'll probably find this small but unusual section pretty interesting. The content here is actually the same content you can find on the free site of the same name but it's still worth checking out.
Another pic section I found very interesting listed in DIRTY PICTURES, although not always related to muscle, bears or cubs, is the Paparazzi Pix section. These are not posed studio pics but rather are street fair pics and pics taken at adult industry functions. There are bear and muscle parties and award pics here - probably some you haven't seen around. There are around 60 sets in Paparazzi Pics, the pics all shown around 600x400 at pretty good quality.
There is also the Husky Hairy Horny section, which is the page members are taken to when we log in.
The next section listed in Muscle Bear Cubs is called GROOVY GUYS. This is actually vintage pics, mostly muscle, that appear to have been provided by sponsors. The pics are small or even tiny but if you love vintage physique pics, you'll defintely want to check this section out. I had a blast checking out pics of some of the most famous muscle men from days gone by.
REAL GUYS is where the videos are to be found. The first video section, called Reviews On Video, is actually no longer there - all that's there is an apology page saying the section is gone and why. Moving on, the next section is called Streaming Video and there are 10 video clips there including an interview with Zeb Atlas when he was younger, a few words from Jeff Stryker and 4 solo clips from an exclusive model plus some hardcore amateur action. These videos are all Quicktime, fairly small and pretty good quality.
True Stories, the last section inside REAL GUYS, doesn't actually offer any videos. Instead there are 2 true behind-the-scenes sections relating bear shoots that are pretty interesting reading with a few small pics each.
The last two links on the top of the pages are called VIP LOBBY and HOME. These mostly have links to the same sections we've already seen but the page layouts are different. I get the impression that Muscle Bear Cub is trying to make the site look like it has more content than it does by using so many multiple menus and breaking the pic sections up.
I try and find the good parts of any site I review and also try and focus on how well a site provides content within its chosen categories. As a dedicated admirer of both bears and muscle men, I found very little to interest me inside Muscle Bear Cub except the small pics in the GROOVY GUYS section, the street fair and party pics and the Paparazzi pics.
Muscle Bear Cubs is not the place to go if you're looking lots of bears, plenty of videos or exclusive content. There is a little of each inside the site but mostly there are plenty of non-exclusive pic sets plus the paparazzi pics which I believe are exclusive. There is plenty of advertising scattered throughout Muscle Bear Cubs as well as an entire section pretty much dedicated to free advertising content from sponsors. While there is a fair amount of content overall, muscle and bear fans might do better to look elsewhere.
Things we liked:
- Vintage pics section features old time muscle guys
- Small section dedicated to belly worship
Things we didn't like:
- Vids not downloadable
- Site is spread out and over-complex
- No focus on bears or cubs
- Not enough videos
- Too many ads
