GayDemon's review of Out Him

Out Him promises reality situations where straight guys in denial are confronted with their secret gay-sex videos. It says the guys sucking dick and getting fucked in the videos are straight, with wives or girlfriends, but that these guys cruise gay dating sites or upload their secret sex tapes on the web. The trailer shows men approached and confronted by angry girlfriends with their gay videos and denying the whole thing. Does Out Him live up to its promises? There have been a few changes since we first reviewed Out Him in August 2010, so it's worth looking at again.

Out Him doesn't have a stand-alone member's area; it's a part of a larger network called Gay Room. So when you login you're presented with eight different sites, Out Him is one of them, and full members get access to all eight sites. A drop-down menu easily sorts the content so you can browse each site's offering. You can also search by model name or use scene tags like amateur, blowjob, facial, anal, and others to refine your search. Back in 2010 Out Him suffered from updating issues and didn't have a very big library of videos. Since then they have increased their inventory to 60 videos and for a while they were updating weekly. However, they haven't added a new video since May 2011. Luckily the network offers four new videos weekly, so members still have fresh content to watch, just not in the Out Him theme.

Like the other sites in this network, Out Him offers movies in three downloadable formats plus a version in streaming Flash. The HD WMVs and MPGs play at 1280x720 at bitrates ranging from 2 to 4 Mbps, and there's are MP4s at 950x536. Out Him films in a reality / POV style. So when the guys are first approached on the street, there's a lot of jumpiness as the cameraman follows these guys in stores or chases them down the street. Once the sex starts, the filming looks like what you'd expect if you and your boyfriend were filming one of your sessions with a video camera.

There are some lighting issues and movement as one guy is always holding the camera, but overall the quality is fair to good amateur quality and they are watchable. You can stream or download full scenes or clips. The streaming player displays movies at 950x558. There's no DRM, so whatever you download is yours to keep. A couple of the videos are only three minutes long, but most seem to be 20 minutes or greater.

Each episode offers two sets of pictures. The screen captures are average quality and the digital stills are good amateur quality; sometimes they're a bit grainy or washed out, but this is expected from homemade-style videos. Both versions display at 850 pixels on the long side in thumbnail galleries, but they will enlarge to 1280 pixels or greater depending on the format. A downloadable zip file is available for the digital stills only.

In addition to Out Him, full members get access to the entire Gay Room network which has 4,568 videos and they add new a new video four times a week. You'll find a couple of sites dedicated to really big dicks, another with massages turning sexual with happy endings, an office sex site, and another with bath house sex, along with a couple of other themes.

Out Him doesn't completely live up to its stated theme. Of the half dozen or so videos I watched there were no pissed-off wives or girlfriends like you find in the television show, Cheaters; those scenarios seem to remain a part of the back story. Many of the videos do feature a "straight" guy being approached in the street, accused of doing a sex tape, and he pushes the camera out of his face or tries to run away. Then the video cuts to his sex tape. Several of the scenarios simply amount to a couple of lovers or boyfriends filming their sex sessions.

Let's talk issues. There's are pre-checked cross sales for a couple of other sites on the join page, so you have to watch that. Leaving those checked will give you three trial memberships, but unchecking them will result in you simply joining Out Him. The $1.00 1-day trial doesn't give you access to all the content, and it rebills at a full $15 more than the cost of a regular monthly membership. And this member's area is packed full of links and advertising to other porn sites, live chat products, and dating sites. But once you figure out what is simply advertising, you can easily avoid it. Last, as mentioned, the site no longer updates.

Out Him gets a mixed review. The site does offer a reasonable amount of content, but they stretch their descriptions and don't really deliver on the reality theme they sell on the tour. The videos I watched didn't include the plots I read about in the descriptions, but all of that aside, the videos were filmed in a style that at least supports the amateur, homemade theme. If you're looking for videos where guys are outed by doing amateur gay porn videos, you may be disappointed, but if you're looking for tons of streaming gay videos and some different scenarios than offered on a lot of sites, the bonus sites with their 4,500-plus videos make Out Him worth checking out.
