TLA Gay

TLA Gay Review

TLA Video has been around since 1981, and they launched their online presence in 1996. TLA Gay is a one-stop shopping site that includes gay-themed cinema, adult videos, sex toys, and books. We've going to be focusing on their video-on-demand section where you can stream over 20,000 gay porn DVDs in every category you can think of.

There are 612 studios in the TLAGay Gay Porn Video On Demand area, a mix of well known studios like Lucas Entertainment, Falcon Studios, BelAmi, Hot Desert Knights, and Titan Men to popular website brands like Staxus, Bear Films, Blake Mason, and Next Door Studio, to little-known producers like The Great Canadian Male, Hellsground, and Freakdorm. Some studios have only one or two videos, others have hundreds, and Bacchus has the most titles with 1,641 DVDs. With over 600 producers, you'll find everything from Gangbangs to Fetish, Intergenerational to Fisting, Public Sex to Glory Hole action, all in a massive list of categories.

You'll find virtually every type of guy here: athletes, bald guys, bears, blue-collar guys, daddies, hairy men, jocks, life guards, muscle men, straight guys, twinks, and so many more. And the men come from all over the world, so you'll find black guys, Latin men, Europeans, and Asians from all over the globe, as well as heaps of Americans.

In the Gay Cinema VOD section, where feature films, documentaries, and DVDs with plots are found, not to mention non-porn videos like "Naked Boys Singing," an actual musical stage play, "Kink Crusaders," that takes us behind-the-scenes at one year's International Mr. Leather competition, and "Mr. Angel," a biography of FTM porn star Buck Angel. You'll find murder mysteries with sex and Historical / Period Pieces. There are 63 studios listed, The category list in this section is smaller, and it features some categories you'd expect like Bisexual, BDSM, Muscled Men, and Rimming, and there are also categories including Civil Rights, Religion & Spirituality, Experimental/Avant-garde and Marriage Woes.

There are several ways to enjoy content in the video-on-demand section. You can pay to watch by the minute, and there are many packages of time available to buy from 15 minutes for $3.99 to 5,800 minutes for $499.99. You can pay $12.99 to $24.99 to download the movies or you can rent them for two days for $1.99 to $5.99 each; and of course, TLA Video is a DVD distributor, so some of the movies are available to purchase and ship to you.

Some movies are labeled as Premium Pay Per Minute and these carry an extra charge: you pay for two seconds for every second watched, so if you watch 60 seconds of video you'll be charged 120 seconds. I found a few Premium Pay Per Minute videos that actually charge three minutes for every one you watch. The Premium PPM videos are clearly marked.

TLAGay has 24,663 titles in the video-on-demand Gay Porn section and another 1,049 in Gay Cinema. The newer productions play in a streaming player at 1140x640, and I also checked one of the oldest videos and it streamed at 820x645. With this many movies there may be other sizes, but the max resolution for the videos I checked is 1920x1080. Each newer movie has five speeds which will improve the video quality as you advance to the highest speed, and these newer productions enlarge to full screen well. The oldest videos only had three speeds, but while they are still watchable, there was quite a bit of quality loss when enlarged, but then the older productions aren't great to begin with. The site and videos worked well on my phone and tablet.

Updates is an area where TLAGay REALLY shines - to say they update frequently is a bit of an understatement. They add from three to over seven DVD titles per day - in the past week, they've added 49 DVDs, so you'll always have something new to watch.

Once you're on a particular movie's page, you'll find clickable director and performer names and categories are also clickable. There are, however, no performer profiles, but clicking their name will show you all of their movies. The movies themselves generally have a description along with other information like director, runtime, and when the movie was produced.

There are a few things worth mentioning. When signing up, there is a pre-checked offer that will sign you up to receive promotional emails from TLA Gay, but it's easy enough to unclick if you don't want them. A problem I had is that pausing movies didn't always work: I often paused a movie to make some notes in my review, then when I returned I couldn't get the movie to play again, I had to reload the page and start over.

One last thought, pay-per-view and online rentals aren't for everyone. If you'd rather have access to all the non-premium streaming videos, you can join TLA'S subscription site, TLA Gay Unlimited. On our visit last fall, they offered 64,395 scenes from 19,996 DVD titles, so there's a lot to watch.

TLA Gay is huge site with a massive selection of streaming DVD titles from a wide range of producers including both studios and porn sites. They have over 24,663 gay porn DVDs to watch, and there's also over 1,000 videos in Gay Cinema. There are multiple options for you to enjoy the movies, so you can watch them and pay per minute, or you can rent them for two days, you can buy and download them, and you can also buy DVDs and have them shipped to you. There's a lot to see here so the best thing is do is go have a look and see what catches your eye.
