As you probably guessed from the name Twink First Timers, youre going to be seeing a lot of barely legal young men getting raw and hardcore for the camera. And when I say raw… I mean raw as in bareback! The majority of preview scenes on the tour have no condoms in sight so of course Ill be hoping to see more of that inside the members area. The guys around 18 to 24 and look fit enough to go the distance as well.
After getting inside the members area I found the navigation easy to use but the main page is huge and loaded up with too much stuff - menu, episodes, advertising and tons of bonus content are all listed there. Even though it's crowded, I could find the links to other pages in the Twink First Timers archive easily. And all of that ‘stuff towards the bottom of the page isnt just useless junk… thats where you will find your bonus content and there is a lot of it!
The free tour seems to promise a lot of raw bareback sex here at Twink First Timers so I was happy to see that most of the recent updates have been bareback scenes. The older videos have more condoms though and I dont know which direction theyll go in the future. Apart from the bareback sex there is one other thing that most of the scenes have in common: theyre mostly 2-guy scenes with only a few having three or more guys in the action.
If youre anything like me and you go straight for the videos every time without bothering about pictures, then youll get a nasty shock here. There are 70 updates in total at the moment but only 21 of these have any video available. No full version downloads are available either so youll have to download up to seven small clips per video if you want to see the entire movie. And to be honest the quality is okay but not great with the largest size video being 420x316 �' and thats what they call ‘high definition! Those videos would have to be a lot bigger to be real HD.
The picture situation is almost the complete opposite of what I said about the videos… except the quality is average for the most part. Sure there are a lot of galleries, 70 in total, but about one third of the galleries are just screencaps from video with a size of 530x710. When youre not given these low quality screencaps you will get a decent quality set of digital images with a size of 750x1000 but again the quality is average. No zip files or slideshows are available; there are about 150 pictures per set.
I mentioned that you get a whole lot of bonus content earlier in the review so I will try to give a small list of what is available. First of all you get access to another 47 paysites full of gay porn plus 45 video feeds for more streaming action. Of course all of those sites and feeds are not dedicated to twinks but there is still a fair amount of that content in the bonuses. You also get 11 downloadable MPEG videos and 17 gay XXX games to play around with if you get bored.
I have some major issues with Twink First Timers that everyone should know about before joining. There are no dates on any of the updates or archives so I cant tell how often, or if, they update. Thats not the only really misleading thing I saw though… on the join page there is a pre-checked offer to try to trick you in to joining two sites at once; and you cant choose a monthly membership so you have to buy a limited trial that renews at a higher than normal monthly rate. The last issue I had was the fact that they advertised their content as exclusive on the tour page but it is not since I found the same pics and videos in another of their own sites, Real College Twinks.
Just in case anyone is still reading after all of those problems I mentioned: to be honest I dont think this site is a complete waste of money. Some of the scenes were good even if the videos were small, and most of the guys are hot and horny. So I could see myself staying here for a month or two possibly. But without knowing whether there will be any more updates, or how often theyll come in, I cant really give a final word.
Things we liked:
- Videos are downloadable
- No DRM used
- Plenty of bonus content
Things we didn't like:
- Older updates don't have videos
- Pre-checked offer on join page
- No full videos - clips only
- Content is advertised as exclusive but is not
