Stag Homme Studios is a gay porn studio that puts the focus on masculine and muscular hunks. You can browse all the videos and each one has short video trailer, and I'm happy to report they're hardcore so you can sample the action. The site doesn't actually make many claims of what members get access to, but since all the vids are previewed and they are listed with the dates they were added to the site, you can get a very good idea of what the men and the content are like. What's interesting here is that Stag Homme Studios not only offers gay porn videos, but plenty of behind the scenes material. Want to know more? Then join me for a look at the member area!
In reality, Stag Homme Studios doesn't have a dedicated member area - members click the same thumbs as non-members, go to the same video pages, then scroll down till they get to the MEMBERS CLICK HERE link or links to watch the video. As already mentioned, the dates are listed on all the videos, and there have been 3 to 4 updates per month for the past few months, although they don't seem to be added on any schedule. While the main page is pretty intuitive, one of the "videos" listed is actually an ad to sell a DVD. It's even dated like one of the videos. Also the "Coffee With The Stars" interview videos were being hosted at YouTube, but YouTube has removed them so we don't get to watch those vids. Hopefully the site will host them themselves so we'll get to watch them.
There are currently 66 videos, all offered in embedded streaming Flash. They are shown between 640x360 and 640x470 at average porn quality. The videos are not offered for download, but they don't use DRM that would keep Mac and Linux members from watching the movies. The videos are a mix of several categories - porn videos, behind the scenes videos and Stag TV, a sort of gay porn reality site. A couple of the behind the scenes videos are pretty short - we're talking like under 2 minutes - but most of the videos are a more standard (and longer) length. Some of the videos have a few unclickable screencaps on the page, and at least one had an actual gallery.
Stag Homme Studios offers some mouthwatering men including some muscle men, hunks and a few regular-guy type amateurs. This is an international group - I found some European and South American pornstars and performers, as well as some guys from the U.S. The action here varies from light hearted kissing, sucking and fucking to fetish, and role-playing videos including some bondage fantasies, rough sex and pissing. Real life boyfriends Francesco D'Macho and Damien Crosse appear with each other and with others in some of the videos, and I believe that they are the owner/operators of the studio.
While Stag Homme Studios does have a blog, it's basically just a list of updates. More than one of the blog posts is only 1 sentence long. There's no pics or videos on the blog itself, and when you click each one takes you to the page for the episode it's about.
The site does have some issues. I already mentioned a couple - the missing interview videos and the DVD ad made to look like it's a member video. I also ran into a couple more issues when I clicked the LIVE CAM link. First of all, there's nothing on the page but the words LIVE CAM and a note to "Configure Your Sidebar Widgets" from WordPress. tjhe program the site runs on. When you click the link, you are taken to a confusing page where most of the links lead to a support page rather than to live chat, and there's an invitation to watch a free live show that is dated almost 6 months ago. I didn't find any newer live cam schedule nor any live shows on the page, btw.
Stag Homme Studios offers some very hot and hunky men in hardcore action, including pornstars Damien Crosse and Francesco D'Macho. Action here ranges from sucking and fucking to down and dirty fetish fantasies. The videos here are not downloadable, and can be watched in streaming Flash format. The collection here includes 66 movies, some of which are porn, some behind the scenes and some - the Stag TV series - are a mixture of both. New videos are added 3 to 4 times per month, although there's no set update schedule. My only issues here are a few missing videos (I didn't include them in my count) and some navigation issues. The bottom line - if you're into international hunks and porn behind the scenes, and don't mind streaming-only videos, Stag Homme Studios is worth checking out.
