Active Duty

Active Duty Review

Active Duty has been around for years, bringing us hot all-American military and amateur guys from 18 through their 20s and a few in their 30s. They're fit with athletic to muscular bodies, sturdy cocks, and they're just oozing horniness. Many of the men from the older scenes are straight, and they experienced their first sex with another guy for this site, although some come back again and again and become member favorites. It's been a year and a half since our last visit, so let’s see what’s happening.

If you're expecting action in the barracks with men in military gear, that's not exactly what this site offers, although many of the episodes have military trappings like camouflage netting, American flags, olive-green t-shirts, dog tags, and army cots. But just as many scenes are filmed in homelike settings with not much military fare. There's lots of hot guy-on-guy sex and plenty of masturbation sessions in older scenes, but these days, almost all of the action is guys sucking and fucking in duos with the occasional threeway. 

The newer scenes feature gay porn performers playing military men. In one of the recent videos, Andrew Miller and Brock Kniles are sitting on a cot in Army t-shirts and shorts with dog tags around their necks. They talk about what they’re planning to do to each other, flexing their biceps and groping their bulges, then Andrew pulls Brock’s stiffening cock out of his shorts and gulps it down his throat. They swap blowjobs and fuck each other. In the finale, Andrew rides Brock’s dick and blows jizz all over himself, but he keeps pounding the stud’s cock until Brock unloads in his ass.

In the earlier videos, ActiveDuty shot guys jerking off solo in their first on-camera experiences. If they were comfortable with that, they were asked back to go further, which often saw them jacking off with other guys or sucking cock and occasionally fucking each other. Take cocky, athletic Richard Buldger, for example, he was a new recruit in February 2017 who gave a smoking hot masturbation session, sliding his hands up and down his impressive cock. He returned in 18 more videos featuring hardcore duos and threesomes, sometimes breaking in new recruits as an aggressive top, but sometimes he gives up his ass as a bottom. But in the later videos, there's more and more hardcore, and there now hasn't been newly-produced solo since October of 2020.

Active Duty now offers 1,688 mostly exclusive videos, adding 25 new scenes since our last review in January 2024. All videos are available to stream or download in a range of sizes: 2160p (4K Ultra HD), 1080p (Full HD), 720p (HD), 540p (SD), and several smaller formats for mobile devices. The newer videos look sharp and detailed even on large screens, while the older scenes — originally capped at 1280x720 or lower — are average in quality but still perfectly watchable, especially on phones or tablets. The adaptive player resizes videos to fit any screen, and playback is smooth across devices. Each scene runs between 35 minutes and an hour, giving you plenty of viewing time.

All the episodes I checked also come with a picture set. Most of the newer pics are digital stills, while some galleries are a mix of digital stills and screencaps, and the oldest galleries contain screencaps only. The newer pics are sized at 1280x1920 at good amateur quality or better, and the oldest digital stills are sized at 960x720; some of the not quite new updates are actually remastered, so expect smaller pics from them. Some of the oldest screencaps are sized at 480x360 at low average quality. You can view the photos online in thumbnail galleries and the viewer has forward and back controls, but the site has removed the hands-free slideshow feature. You can download each set in a zip file, or you can save just the pics you like individually.

Now let’s talk about updates. In the past 19 months since our last review in January 2024, the site has added 25 new videos, averaging a little over one update per month. The release schedule isn’t completely steady — while the aim seems to be biweekly updates, there are occasional gaps of two to three weeks between new scenes.

Active Duty is a part of the ASGMax gay porn network. This is good news as the site has previously been padding updates with content from other studios. They no longer do this, but instead members get access to 82 sites and collections that they call channels with 13,500+ videos total. You’ll find all of the sites from Next Door Studios, plus Disruptive Films, Extra Big Dicks, Men Over 30, as well as a smaller selection of videos from Downlo Boys and Chaos Men, and videos from sites that no longer update like Rod’s Room and Stag Collective. The network usually adds five or more updates each week.

There are some issues. There's a pre-checked offer on the right side of the billing page, but it's easy to uncheck if you're not interested. When you log into ActiveDuty, you'll land on a full-page ad, but the members area link is easy to find. There's a pop-up if you back out of the billing page to the join page, and there's a notification pop-up that may hit you on the tour or in the members area. You might want to block notifications if you share a computer with a boss, roommate, or someone who you don't want to see porn notifications. Network navigation can be clunky, with two menus on the left side of the page. There’s a streaming-only membership for $5, but it rebills at $19.95, and of course, it doesn’t include any downloads. Considering the massive amount of content you get here and the number of network updates, both are still very good deals.

There are a couple more things worth mentioning. First, there's a 300 GB per day download limit. This is the largest such limit that I've ever seen - you can download plenty of videos with it - but be aware that the company "reserves the right to suspend or ban accounts that exceed this daily limit". Most people don't go through 30 GB per day watching two full streaming movies on Netflix, so you'd have to work at it to go over this limit. And last, it’s worth mentioning again that the military theme here is often in name only. Don’t expect drill sergeants barking at recruits to suck their dicks and there’s not much happening in real military barracks or other such locations. You’ll find plenty of gay porn performers wearing some military gear that they peel off to suck and fuck in horny duos.

Active Duty offers plenty of horny all-American military studs and amateur guys, many straight, in a mix of solo jerk-off sessions and hardcore gay sex, including the guys giving or getting their first gay blowjobs or fucking another guy for the first time. All the newest updates are hardcore, most featuring gay porn stars, and there are plenty of masturbation sessions if you dig back a bit. And there are lots of guys who come back to film again and again. There are 1,688 exclusive videos to download, stream, and watch on your mobiles, not to mention picture sets, and they add a fresh update every other week. The big draw here is that Active Duty is now a part of ASGMax with 82 gay porn channels with over 13,500 videos, along with an average of five weekly updates. Active Duty's guys and the action are smoking hot, and they offer good value for your membership dollar.
