Sarava Productions

Sarava Productions Review

Kristen Bjorn is a well-known gay porn director who started his career as a performer for Falcon Studios, and he's been producing his own gay porn movies with a very recognizable style for more than two decades. Sarava Productions is the library of Kristen Bjorn's many DVDs released under his own name and the SP brand. It's been just over two years since we visited the site, so let's head over and see how things have been going.

Kristen Bjorn travels the world in his search for the hottest and hunkiest men. He has lived in the UK, US, South America, and Australia, and he currently lives in Barcelona, Spain, so you'll find a lot of hot Spanish, Italian, and South American hunks in his more recent films. The men are handsome, well-built with rock hard abs and delicious asses, and many have big, uncut cocks. There is a good mix of amateurs and gay porn stars, and the majority of the performers are in their twenties and thirties, although some are a little older.

Kristen Bjorn is responsible for launching many gay porn star careers, but he also uses lots of established performers. These days you can expect to see men like Manuel Skye, Lucio Saints, Bastian Karim, Gianni Maggio, Nik Fros, Apolo Adrii, Scott Carter, and Sir Peter, just to scratch the surface. Scrolling through the back catalog, you'll see a who's who of Pornland.

The action here is all hardcore; you won't find any solos. The movies include all the action you could possibly wish for: kissing, rimming, double penetration, daisy-chain fucking, facial cumshots, cum-eating, lots of deep throating, and some very intense ass drilling. Kristen Bjorn is famous for his beautifully choreographed group sex scenes, and there are plenty of threesomes and small groups. But these days, you'll find lots more duos; in fact, there's only a trio of threeways and a foursome in the past 36 newest releases. 

One last thing about the content before we get into video details. Kristen Bjorn has created two other membership sites that offered pared down versions of the company's videos. All of the Kristen Bjorn casting and audition scenes appear on KB Castings, and all of the videos destined for DVD releases appear here on Sarava Productions. But if you're interested in both types of scenes, you're better off heading over to Kristen Bjorn where you'll find everything in one site.

Sarava Productions offers 851 streaming videos in MP4 format. The player resizes them to fit any device, so on my 27-inch monitor the newer scenes play as large as 1686x940. The videos are offered in four speeds and generally look good enough, but on my large screen I didn't find a lot of them as crisp as I'd like, and the HD versions sometimes had interlacing. The videos actually looked much better on my tablet and phone. The very oldest videos play smaller at around 908x698, although there may be some other sizes, and the quality on my large monitor wasn't great, but on smaller screens they played well and looked quite good. The videos here are not offered for download, so if you want them, you're better off joining Kristen Bjorn itself. 

The streaming player offers a full-screen option, but the results vary, especially on a large desktop monitor or if you watch on your TV, but again I found mobile devices were the best way to enjoy these videos; they probably look good on a medium-sized monitor, as well. One final word on these older scenes: these were originally shot on film and transferred to digital, which accounts for some of the quality issues. SaravaProductions is mobile compatible and the videos generally played fine. However, the very oldest scenes only seem to play a 30-second trailer in the video player and in order to see the whole movie you have to click the VD link under the player to open the movie on a new page.

The site has 21 categories in a dropdown menu to help you find specific types of action or guys like Bareback (482 videos), Latinos (719), Hung (737), Threeways (206), Double Penetration (56), and more. There is a free-form search box, but it's only moderately useful as it only presents results if the keyword appears in the video's description: "foreskin" got six results but there were hundreds for "uncut". You can browse the models on the video pages or in the model index; each is shown with his name and a clickable thumb so you can find more of his scenes or his profile page. These are usually populated with stats and background information, although the very oldest profiles only have stats.

There's a link in the members area to Kristen Bjorn's blog, and it updates pretty frequently. It's a good way to preview some of the content you're missing on the main site. One thing that I'd like to see is a discount for Sarava Productions members who want to upgrade to a full Kristen Bjorn membership, but that doesn't exist.

Now let's talk about updates. SaravaProductions continues to update, and they've added 102 videos over the past 24 months, so that's an average of about four a month. We can't get more specific as the updates here are not dated. The videos come from 140 DVDs, which is an addition of 14 DVDs since our last visit.

There are a few downsides. The non-recurring monthly membership costs $10 more than the recurring version. Next, the site claims you'll find "the hottest bareback action", and while this is true of the newer releases, Kristen Bjorn's older DVDs feature condom sex. The studio only started filming bareback a few years ago, so that means in about two thirds of the scenes, the guys use rubbers while a third is condom-free.

There's one more thing worth mentioning. This site doesn't feature Kristen Bjorn's very newest scenes. The newest video on Sarava Productions is eight scenes behind the latest on Kristen Bjorn itself, but since updates aren't dated, it's impossible to report accurately on this. 

The men at Sarava Productions are masculine and gorgeous with bodies ranging from ripped to muscular, and you'll find plenty of big, uncut cocks. There are 851 streaming scenes from 140 DVDs produced by Kristen Bjorn and his production company to watch on your desktop and mobiles. Sarava Productions doesn't offer downloadable videos or picture sets, but it does have a nice low monthly membership price; if you want downloads, you may want to head over to Kristen Bjorn which offers both downloads and galleries, but at a higher membership fee, so if you aren't interested in either, Sarava is a good deal. There's a lot to like here, including the full access trial membership, and it's a real treat for hardcore porn fans and Euro muscle hunk lovers who prefer to stream their videos.
