Buck Angel is someone that I've been personally fascinated by since the first time I heard about him - but this is the first time I've been able to explore his site. Needless to say, I'm quite excited. If you haven't heard of Buck Angel, then let me tell you a little about him. He's a masculine and tattooed man who chomps a cigar, wears plenty of leather and is billed as "the man with a pussy" - that's right, a pussy! Transsexual Man is the site of Buck Angel, the first female to male (FTM) transsexual pornstar!
Buck's site has a very amateur feel to it, which seems to fit perfectly with what I was expecting. There is a lot to look at on the main page, and it comes very close to being too busy - but before it reaches that point everything seems to come together. There are links to all of the main sections across the top navigation bar, the same navigation with expanded options down the left, prominent links to the videos and new galleries on the top and right, and a few various links to his DVDs, yahoo group, myspace, and facebook. Buck Angel is certainly well connected!
I started with the galleries section. There are five different sections here - Buck Angel, Bucks Guys, Buck's Girls, Buck Before, and Buck's Angels. I started off with Buck Angel, which is all of his solo galleries. These have plenty of strip teasing, masturbation, and sex toy insertion. The photos are good amateur quality, however the actual size varies pretty widely between the sets. One had me looking at tiny 360x480 shots and the next has good sized 800 pixel photos.
There are also webcam captures worked in to this section. The next section is Buck's Guys, which shows Buck involved with all sorts of adventurous men. Not only did these men explore the fun of fucking a man with a pussy - they also added in a lot of leather fetish and fisting. There are 60 sets in this section.Bucks Girls is where all the ladies come over to explore the fascinating world of Buck Angel - I saw plenty of sex toys as well as smoking fetish in this section, with 32 sets. Buck Before is a small section featuring his prior life as a woman - there are 12 photos here. Finally we have Buck's Angels, which are friends of Buck's. There are 7 sets here.
The next stop is Buck's video section. There are 126 videos here, and like the rest of the site it has a very amateur setup to it. You can download or stream the videos, and like the photos these videos cover many different types of scenes. It's easy to see that Buck has very few sexual boundaries - and I like that in a man. The oldest videos are WMVs, with the latest switching over to Quicktime. MPG videos are smack dab in the middle. There are also a few scenes from DVDs that Buck has starred in, and you'll also find videos of Buck's adventures at parties, clubs, and even his appearance on Howard Stern.
The first video I watched was being shot by Buck himself - he takes his camera backstage at a show and wanders all around with it. It's amateur quality and 480x320 - and once Buck gets on stage it switches over to him working his pussy up on stage. The older videos are lower quality at 320x240, but they're still pretty good to watch. The videos vary in size, with some going only 5 minutes and others going for 20. I think my favorite is one featuring Buck, a pierced and tattooed girl named Kitty, and a sex swing - I never thought of using a sex swing in a fisting scene, but it worked perfectly! There are no viewing options other than downloading the full video or streaming it - there is no DRM, however.
The reality section features behind the scenes videos featuring Buck's life as a pornstar. There are 23 of these streaming flash videos, and they really help me get a sense of who Buck Angel really is. I personally love seeing this kind of thing on a porn site, especially one run by the model himself. There is a webcam section which was not active when I went in - there's a message to email Buck with a good time to visit so he can give you a private show. Hot stuff! The Buck blog is just as entertaining as the rest of the site, with plenty of pictures as well. The fanmail section is also pretty entertaining.
Now although I love Buck Angel and his site, there are a few issues that I'd love to see resolved. The main thing that bothered me is when I was clicking through the photo galleries, it kept taking me to different styles and colors of pages. It wasn't a big deal, but it was a little distracting. The photo quality was all over the place as well, which threw me off a bit. Having a few different video viewing options would be nice, but the download speeds are fairly fast so I can't complain too much about having full scenesonly. Honestly these are only nitpicky types of complaints - I really enjoyed the site.
Transsexual Man gives you something that you literally cannot find on any other porn site - a horny and masculine man who's covered with tats and has a pussy. He fucks men, he fucks women and he loves to show off his butch body and his very own cunt. If that isn't enough, the site is infused with Buck's personality, it offers weekly updates, and he manages to hit plenty of fetishes (Buck and friends are way into body art, piercing and leather) and he's into fetishes you don't see on many pornsites, especially if you're a fan of fisting. The bottom line - whether you like Buck's tattooed look, you're curious or you're into FTM transsexual men, Transsexual Man is a site that is definitely worth seeing!
Things we liked:
- First (and only?) Female to Male pornstar site
- Buck's personality practically oozes off the site
- Exclusive content
- Behind the scenes blog and videos
Things we didn't like:
- Content quality could be better
- Would have liked more viewing options on videos
- Lack of consistency in gallery page design
