VideoBox Men review

It’s gotta be tough being a porn-loving gay man. The homosexual areas of the Internet seem inundated with adult sites dedicated to individual men (Cody Cummings, Tommy D XXX) and outlandish fetishes (AssPig, Twink City USA) that can’t possibly appeal to all gay men. What if you’re just after some (if you’ll forgive the unintended pun) straight gay sex, attractive men fucking each other; where do you turn then? Why, to Videobox Men, of course. The homosexual counterpart to the incredibly popular and multi award winning hetero porn site, Videobox, Videobox Men aims to deliver the same high quality of service, consistency of updates, and wealth of content for which its more readily accepted brother has become so well regarded. Can Videbox Men keep the great work of the other Videobox site alive and kicking in the gay porn arena, which so frequently, and rather unfortunately, often seems overrun with cheaply made, poorly executed, barely entertaining sites with unattractive men? Let’s jump in, dear readers, and find out!

Pros:
For those of you familiar with the hetero version of Videobox, it will come as no surprise to you that Videobox Men also hosts an incredible amount of porn - 1,620 DVDs or 7,517 scenes - and adds a new full-length DVD every day of the week.

Videobox Men takes great pride in its streaming video capabilities, allowing users to “scrub” back and forth over video thumbnails, stream full scenes, and trim scenes to show only the action you want to see. Video quality is also quite good, coming to you in multiple formats, all of which show the codec used, the video resolution, and the size of the file you’ll be downloading.

There are three C words that are integral to Videobox Men’s success, and they’re not Cock, Cum, and Colossal, but Clips, Comments, Community. Users can make their own public or private clips from existing videos, highlighting the best parts of various scenes; comments can be left of DVDs, scenes, or videos, letting you guide your fellow fellow’s gaze; there’s a strong Community of like-minded guys here, many of whom enjoy interacting through the aforementioned features.

Another holdover from the straight version of Videobox is the great site design - clean, clear, and attractive - and the brilliant navigation system, which allows you to favorite DVDs, scenes, actors, and even create a notification list of your favorite twinks, bears, silver foxes, or fuck pigs.

Cons:
While a general Videobox Men membership appears to be an incredible bargain at $9.95 per month, that won’t allow you to view the 720x480 DVD quality videos; for that you’ll have to pay $17.95 per month. Still a very good deal, but not as great as $9.95.

None of the content found at Videobox Men is exclusive as it has all been licensed from various studios and distributors. Consequently, video quality can vary from fantastic to pretty awful as it is largely dependent on the source.

Although Videobox and Videobox Men usually seem to be about six months ahead of the competition when it comes to innovation and embracing new technology, there are no High Definition videos online at this time. Hopefully these will arrive soon, being sourced from Blu-Ray releases that studios seem to be increasingly intent on releasing.

Conclusion:
It’s impossible not to compare Videobox Men to the hetero version of Videobox - that’d be like ignoring the obvious similarities between the simultaneously released movies Dante’s Peak and Volcano - so allow me to briefly outline a few differences. The straight Videobox has a wealth of features as yet unavailable to Videobox Men members - blog, premium channels, a mobile-ready site, among others - as well as a shitload more content. That shouldn’t dissuade you from giving Videobox Men a shot, though, not by any means. Gay porn often suffers from a lack of webmaster dedication, quality control, and upload rate, all problems Videobox Men seems to handle very well indeed. With almost every gay fetish imaginable on display here, along with more simplistic, but no less enjoyable, sex, Videobox Men is about as good as it gets for gay porn aficionados, so dig in!
