StudPort's tour offers members 3 kinds of gay porn content - HD videos, DVD's and Picture sites - and you can preview every video and pic site from the member area. The DVD's are where I found the most hardcore man-on-man action and the most variety, with 23 niches including bareback, interracial, twinks and muscle. Looks like the best quality videos are in the HD section, where there's some hardcore and toy action plus showers, guys jerking off and more. And for those into pics, there are 7228 "picture sites". Ready to learn more? Then join me for a look at the member area.
The StudPort member area is easy to use. There are links to the HD Videos, Picture Sites, DVD's and bonus content. The site currently offers 60 videos, 300 DVD titles and over 7000 galleries that they refer to as Picture Sites. More about them shortly, but now let's talk about updates. There's a new HD video added every Monday, and there's a DVD added every 4 to 6 days. There's also several Picture Sites added every 1 to 4 days, so all in all, there's enough to keep members pretty busy. Now let's check out the content.
The HD Videos are offered in 1 size of HD in WMV format, plus 2 standard sizes of WMV and 1 standard size of MP4. All these videos are DRM-free full scenes, and they're downloadable, and for those who prefer to watch, they're also available in streaming Flash. The largest WMV's are shown at 1280x720 at 3 Mbps, and it's no surprise that they're good quality and enlarge pretty well. The smaller sizes are good for slower broadband, and for those on Mac's or mobiles, there are MP4's shown at 640x360 at a little over 1 Mbps. Each video comes with a set of pics that are probably very good quality vidcaps.
StudPort offers members 300 DVD titles, each offering from 4 to 6 full scenes so this is well over 1200 scenes total. These are not exclusive to the site. Like the HD videos, these full scenes are downloadable and DRM free. These are available in either 2 or 3 sizes of WMV plus 1 size of MP4 sized for your mobile. The larger WMV's are shown at 640x480, the newer ones at pretty good quality at around 2 Mbps, and the older with bitrates ranging from over 1 Mbps but a little less sharp and clear.
The Picture Sites are more what I'd call galleries, or sometimes a collection of 3 small galleries, most with around 3 pages of pics, and each with advertising on the pages. Many seem to have the same page layout, and photo size and especially quality depend on the age of the "site". Many pics are shown at around 533x800 at qualities varying from average to good, but there are also some vidcaps mixed in. A lot of the pics are provided by the sites the advertising is for, and other pics are older non-exclusive content. Still, with over 7000 galleries dating back to 2005, there's a lot to see here.
In addition, members get access to Strong Men, which offers over 200 downloadable videos of bodybuilders and hunks. Membership also includes 65 mixed gay and tranny feeds. Expect niches like barebacking, fetish, black men, college guys, bears and more. While there is free video chat, one must pay for full nudity or action like masturbation or dildo play.
One thing that the site doesn't offer is a link to home once you're navigating though the site, and a home link on every page would be handy. Also, I was disappointed that the search box on the member home page only searches the picture sites, not the videos or DVD's.
StudPort offers a variety of gay porn including 60 exclusive HD videos updated once a week, 300 full man-on-man DVD titles with a new DVD added every 4 to 6 days, plus tons of extras. Both the HD videos and the DVD scenes are downloadable and DRM-free, and there's all sorts of guys from twinks to black studs sucking cock, pounding ass, masturbating and shooting their loads. There are also over 50 feeds and 7000+ 1 to 3 gallery pic sites. Overall this site does have a lot to offer, and the tour lets you browse all the content. Sound good? Then why not check out StudPort and see what they have to offer.
