Toby Ross Review

Toby Ross is a site from the landmark gay porn director of the same name who has been producing gay erotic films since the '70s. Toby Ross remains the only member site where you can watch the director's complete catalog of the uncensored XXX versions of his films. Mr. Ross has won multiple awards for his films and has also made some mainstream movies including "Bowser Makes a Movie." It's been a while since we first reviewed the site, so it's time to see what's been happening since our last visit.

The videos here offer lots of twinks, as well as jocks, average guys and daddies in movies from the '70s to the present, and some are feature films with an art house feel. Expect gritty reality, guys cruising or getting picked up in alleys, sucking cock in anonymous motels, doing an interview with a seedy porn scout, and being groped. In other videos you can expect romance, comedy, or even surrealism. Many of these are not linear porn videos that switch from one complete scene to another - these are movies that make you think while you watch guys sucking cock and fucking ass.

When you log into Toby Ross, you'll find the movies sorted into several sections on the homepage: Big Dick Factory, Dark Erotica, Erotica, Vintage, Sex Comedies, and Festival Gay Films. There are 112 videos found in the SCENES section, and these are scenes taken from 26 feature films which are found on the site's main page; some are full length movies running over an hour each, and some films can be viewed as scenes and full movies.

The videos are offered in MP4 format, and many stream at 624x470, although some of the newer productions are bigger and sized at 830x470. Some of these videos were shot on film, so quality isn't always up to modern standards, but they look good considering their age. Others are newer productions and were shot digitally, and they're sharper and more saturated. These newer videos hold up better at full screen, although even the best lose a little quality, which is to be expected considering their size. The vids are mobile compatible, although in landscape orientation you may have to fiddle with them a bit. The videos are not offered as downloads.

Most of the videos have a small picture gallery of screencaps that display at 1280x720, however, because of the irregular sizes of the movies, some of the screencaps have been inserted into the display area leaving wide black borders on both sides. You can save the pictures individually if you like, and the quality ranges from fuzzy to pretty good. There's no slideshows or downloadable zip files, but you can navigate from pic to pic using arrows on the right and left sides of each photo.

Members get access to a gay porn network where you'll currently find 1,794 videos from eight bonus sites. One of these sites, RetroMales, offers over 360 classic porn videos and updates twice a week, and one of the other network sites updates weekly for a total of about 12 updates per month. The other sites no longer add new content, but there's a lot to see.

Now let's talk about downsides. The biggest issue here is that Toby Ross stopped updating in late October in 2018, almost seven months ago. Also with the inclusion of the bonus network, all the membership prices have increased - the monthly membership went up $10, although it's still a good deal at $19.96 for the first month. The quarterly went up $20 and the annual membership increased by $50. There's a pre-checked offer on the billing page, but it's easy enough to uncheck if you're not interested. And while not an issue exactly, I'm always disappointed when sites don't offer downloadable videos.

One last thing worth mentioning is that some of the content here was previously available on another site called Big Dik Factory which evolved into this eponymous site. If you were previously a member there, some of the videos here will be familiar to you; if not, it'll all be new to you or you'll remember some of the videos from adult theaters from days gone by.

Toby Ross delivers hot classic porn and some more modern flicks from the director who helped bring porn from seedy loops to movies with stars and plots. There's variety from dark crime and seedy alley sex to erotic comedies, romance, and classics from the '80s. There are 112 videos, a mix of scenes and full movies from 26 feature films to stream on your desktops and mobiles. Although they have stopped updating, with its mix of porn and art house films, this site has a refreshing and unique mix; almost nothing here reminds me of most porn sites. If you're open-minded and enjoy something a little different, Toby Ross will be well worth a visit.
