GayDemon's review of Twinks

Twinks.com has been around for over 9 years, and in that time the site has gone through some changes. The first change is their modern tour with a focus on videos. The new tour has a bunch of short trailers, which is a plus, but what I really like is that you can preview every model from the member area. There are plenty of twinks - no surprise there - but there are also jocks, amateurs and a variety of other slender guys below 30. There's plenty of jackoff and hardcore gay action, and the site says members get access to 5 bonus sites. Want to know more? Join us for a look at the member area of Twinks.com!

The member home page is fairly busy, so let me tell you the basics. There is a navigation bar running across the top of the page that is easy to use, but leaves one section out - specifically the archive of the older member area content. There is a search box to the right just above the navbar, which is handy. You'll find the bonus sites running down the right side of the page along with a member poll, links to the archive and the live show link. On the left side of the page you'll find a single dated update for each section - JERKOFF VIDEOS, BUDDY VIDEOS, MODEL, STORY JERKOFF GALLERIES and BUDDY GALLERIES - on the member home page, and the Coming Soon section currently lists videos that were already added to the site, and they're dated, too. There is a new video is added every 2 to 5 days, and a new gallery is also added every 2 to 5 days. Plus there is a live show every week.

Let's look at the new videos first. There are both downloadable and streaming videos available. The downloadable videos are WMVs shown at 640x480, the newer vids with a bitrate of around 1.5 Mbps and older at around 700k. These are average quality - they could be a bit sharper and clearer, but they're not bad. The videos do not use DRM, so if you save some for later, they'll still play after your membership has expired. The streaming videos are the way to go for those who prefer Flash to WMV or are on slow internet connections. They are offered in WMV and Flash in 4 sizes, the largest being about the same as the downloadable videos - 640x480 with from a 700k to a 1.5 Mbps bitrate. Both streaming and downloadable videos have good sound, although I felt that the WMVs played just a little more smoothly than the Flash videos. The videos are full scenes.

The archived videos are mostly shown at 320x240, which is a bit on the small side, but then these are older videos. They mostly had a bitrate around 320k or so, and looked good at their original size, losing some quality when enlarged. All the archived videos I saw are available in clips only, and around half are offered in both WMV and MPG, the other half being WMV only. No DRM is used.

Twinks.com offers members a total of 491 galleries - 363 jerkoff galleries, 128 buddy galleries. There are 325 more pic sets than there were 16 months ago. Most of the pics range from 675x900 to 683x1024 in size, and quality varied but for the most part, pics were average quality or better - except for some of the really old sets. There are also over 400 additional galleries in the archive.

Though the site is called 'Twinks' not all the models featured on this site fall under that description. Many of the models are jocks and amateurs, but not partilularly boyish, and some as old as 28. I did notice that the more recent models tend to be less "twinkish" in type, and also are sometimes not as cute as some of the models in the older content, but there's a good mix overall, including solo jack-off scenes, anal sex and hardcore action. The live shows are diverse in their performers as the models consists of jocks, hunks, amateurs, twinks and pornstars.

Twinks.com members get access to 4 exclusive non-twink bonus sites listed on the member home page - Hot Barebacking, Rear Stable, Sex Gaymes and High Octane. You will also find a weekly live show, plus 104 archived live shows. In the XXX Cinema section, you will additional bonus material. The Video on Demand section of XXX Cinema offers 10 mixed gay feeds, each of which offers 4 full length DVD titles. There is also a collection of 59 stories.

I did notice something that may or may not be an issue. The tour of Twinks.com offers members access to 5 bonus sites, including Boynapped, but I didn't see Boynapped listed with the bonus sites. I expect that the site in included as a bonus, but that members have to type in the url to go to the site. I know my login worked for all 5 bonus sites.

While not all the guys at Twinks.com are actually twinks, many are between 18 and 25 and there's a good mix of jackoff and hardcore action. And this site just keeps on growing. With over 400 pic sets, 175 videos and weekly live shows, there's a lot to see here - and that's not counting the new content added every 2 to 5 days. In addition there's a lot of content in the archives, including over 100 past live shows. There's also 4 bonus sites, stories and a collection of feeds. If that sounds good, why not head on over to Twinks.com and check out the guys!
