Bel Ami Online

Bel Ami Online Review

Bel Ami Online launched in 1998 featuring high-quality gay porn specializing in the most beautiful twinks and jocks from Central Europe. The models are mostly Czech and Hungarian, but there have been other European guys, and lately South Americans, too. The site has an eye-catching tour offering a capsule of the massive number of models and material available to members. Bel Ami's high production standards result in some stunning content, some of the best in the business. Over time, the scenes have become much more explicit, and a few years ago they started filming bareback sex, which they call condom free, and so they now feature horny close-ups of the penetration, breeding and cream pies.

The center piece of the site has always been its collection of truly gorgeous Slovak, Hungarian, and Czech models from 18 to 25 years old with uncut cocks, and lots of huge ones at that. Many of the models could easily break into mainstream modeling and grace of covers of male fashion magazines. The guys are generally smooth with slim to well-built physiques, but not overly muscled. Tattoos were generally verboten here, but the producer has eased up on his no-ink policy and we're now seeing the odd model with tattoos like Colombian Alessandro Lee, Slovak guys Jay Campion and Timmy Morrison, and others. It wasn't uncommon for Bel Ami to try and hide tattoos or remove them completely in post-production.

Talking about the models can be a bit difficult because the Models section is nowhere near a complete cast listing of the guys who have filmed here. As well, Bel Ami films content sometimes years in advance, so a model they film today may not see the light of day for a couple of years. Once he appears on the site and we get a taste of him in a few scenes over the next year or so, we're then saddened to learn that he stopped filming with the site three years earlier.

Recently Bel Ami teamed up with American jock site Corbin Fisher bringing the very best of each studio together in hot fuck scenes. Models from both sites headed to a private villa in Colombia giving us some sex scenes in lush and extravagant settings. Bel Ami films in Prague and Budapest studios, but isn't shy about transporting an entire crew and cast to Greece, South Africa, Spain, and other locales for lots of hot sex. Most of the action is duo, but there are quite a lot of threeways, and the site has also filmed some of the biggest group sex scenes with 10 or more guys.

It's a little tricky figuring out how many videos are currently in the Bel Ami member's area because they appear in multiple sections. There are 2,012 videos under Scenes, but these also include 371 Vintage videos which also appear in their own section. There are also 371 videos appearing exclusively in the Backstage section and these feature behind-the-scenes and interview footage. As well there are 1,351 videos in the Solos section. There's also an Updates section which features a mixture of everything as it's released on the stie. So if we discount the Vintage videos which appear in two sections and the Updates section, it appears the site has around 3,734 videos, which is an increase of 431 videos over the past 19 months.

The newer downloads are very good quality and offered in three resolutions: 1080p (Full HD), 544p (SD), which the site labels as HD but it's actually qHD (one quarter of HD), and 352p (SD). The vintage scenes are being remastered to 1080p, (Full HD) and they look pretty good. The very oldest videos come in two sizes at 540p (SD) and 360p (SD), and again they erroneously label the 540p as HD. The videos are good quality, but not as crisp and they lose some quality at full-screen mode. All videos are also available to stream in a player that adjusts them to fit your device and they are only offered in one resolution. There's a full-screen option and the newer videos don't lose much quality from the original source video, although it's lack of crispness shows up when the video is enlarged. The site and videos are fully compatible with mobiles.

The site also offers 877 exclusive picture sets under the Photos section and there are some nice sort options like Pun-Ups, Vintage, Couples, Art Collections, Action Pictures, and a few more.  These photos are digital stills, beautifully posed and lit, and they show off the models to absolute perfection. The pics come in sizes at 667x1030 (portrait) and 1135x787 (landscape), but there may be other sizes. There is also a set of screencaps found on each of the episode pages and these generally display at 800x476. All sets can be downloaded in zip files, and they're worth downloading because you'll get higher resolution pictures in the zip files. The individual images can also be saved one at a time. The picture viewer has forward and back controls, but there's no hands-free slideshow. 

Now let's talk about updates. BelAmi usually adds something new almost every day, so let's look at the first week of December as a snapshot of what happens here in a week: they added a photo session video filming model and photographer in a shoot, a sex scene with sucking and fucking, an interview and solo masturbation video, a threeway scene, a casting video, a set of pin-up photos, and last, a remastered video (they have been adding one of these every week for a while).  It's worth mentioning that Bel Ami sometimes removes their oldest videos and that means the site may not grow as much as you'd expect.

Something that really stands out about BelAmi is the site's engagement with its members. Updates and models can be rated, and you can leave comments, and many do. The forum (listed as Discussion on the left navbar) is fairly active, and Bel Ami staff, including supremo George Duroy, contribute and take notice of what's said. Some members on the forum have made friends there, and there's a lot of talk about the site's models and content.

There are a few things you may want to know about. First, there is a pre-checked offer to join BelAmi's other site, Freshmen, on the join page, and even when you deselect it, it shows up again as an opt-in offer on the sign-up page, so make sure you're careful when completing the join process. When logging into the site, there's another full-page ad encouraging you to join Freshmen, and but even if you opt out, you'll still see a green button at the bottom of the page and it wiggles every once in a while to get your attention. There are also Freshmen thumbnails on the members homepage, but these only give you one-minute trailers with another encouragement to join. 

There's a daily download limit of 20 GB, and after reaching that you'll revert to streaming-only until the next day rolls over. The Movies section inside the member's area doesn't offer more content to enjoy with your membership, it's a listing of the DVDs for sale, but each has a trailer to watch if you're interested.

Bel Ami Online leads the way in premier high quality gay porn with a great looking site and some of the hottest jocks and twinks anywhere. So many guys, most with uncut cocks, as well as frequent updates, so much sex with 3,737 videos to download, stream and watch on your mobiles. The site updates daily with photos, solo and hardcore videos, behind-the-scenes sessions, and re-mastered scenes and there's plenty of member interaction in the discussion forum and comment sections on the videos. Bel Ami is one of our favorite sites with gorgeous European boys, and lately some South Americans, in some of the hottest hardcore and solo action you'll find anywhere. While nothing in life is perfect, Bel Ami Online comes pretty close.
