Kristen Bjorn has been making international gay porn since the late 1980s, and was one of the first to bring us true, European gay porn. Apart from the highly successful, released DVD content, he provides us with web series, movies made just for the site, and these days many of them are raw, bareback videos in HD. There are non-exclusives and over 1,500 movies, many with galleries, plus streams, downloads, a forum and a model index. It's a mix of pro and am guys, with muscular, sexy Euro hunks.
We saw this site a while ago now, and I've just called back in for a check-up. Having just seen some of the hot videos it's me that needs a check-up; reduce the pulse rate, dampen down the excited sweat, calm my nerves These guys are hot, fit and butch! The cast is mainly made up of hard and chunky guys, smooth jocks and hairy bears, muscle men and gym-guys, toned and macho, and there's a nice mix of hairy and smooth too. The guys trend to sport big dicks and are certainly virile, but there are some younger, smoother guys here along with the line-up of gods, all of them putting in good and natural performances in the hardcore.
Your content is arranged in one main drop-down list under Scenes, where you find a category list, links to the web series, the popular casting couch area, movie scenes (from the DVDs) and behind the scenes footage. There's also a collection of non-exclusive porn to check out under Other Studios, but today I am looking at the in-house, exclusive productions.
There are 1,588 scenes from the web series each shown with large sample shots. You get a good flavour of the fun to come from these pages. Hard, muscled guys fuck in all kinds of positions, usually athletic ones. There are some threesomes with DP, plenty of raw videos, mainly white guys but some ebony and interracial too and plenty of hardcore man-on-man porn in scenes that run for around 10 to 25 minutes.
Breaking down the makeup of the total video collection, there are over 266 web series videos (site exclusives), 420 + casting couch scenes with newbies and old hands together and more, and 390 + movie scenes, from the 77 + Kristen Bjorn DVDs. The non-exclusive scenes count stands at around 170 movies that come from experts like Raging Stallion, Lucas Kazan and Falcon.
Movies can be streamed and come with the options to view at full HD, 720p HD, standard and small, so mobiles and desktops alike should be covered. Downloads are also offered in four choices of Mp4 starting with 1,920 x 1,080 HD at the top, then 720p, 960 x 540 and 640 x 360 for mobiles. They come with lengthy descriptions, so you get to know the guys. Movies are good studio quality and can be bought without joining if you don't mind paying $8.00 or so for a scene; joining is better value. Updates are also coming in, and the site has been building steadily over the years.
Finding the images section is a case of using the Scenes drop-down again and then selecting group, solo, movie scenes and behind the scenes images. Many of the galleries are posed shots with setup fuck shots, or images taken during a pause in the filming. There are 349 solo model shoots, and the only odd thing here is the layout of the index pages. They are numbered and easy to navigate, but the thumbnails are small, and there's lots of white space around them. Still, they lead to larger thumbs and then full-sized pics at 800 x 1,200 that come with zips, online viewing, individual saving and slideshows.
There are some other features for members that you can find by exploring the top menu. There's a forum, for example, and a place where you can apply to be a model. Check but what's required by looking at the 700 + hunky boys in the model index. The drop-down there also leads you to interviews and gives you a list of who is new to the site. The actual index is neatly laid out with models in alphabetical order, the only way I found to order them, and they are shown all on one page. With 700 + of them, it's a good idea to use the pagination option and browse by smaller pages. You get some info about the guys like where they are from, their stats, and links to their content. It's a handy browse tool.
Your top menu also lets you find video categories, links to all the extras like BTS videos and interviews, a VOD and a store, help and Sites. Here, under Sites, you find links to not only the Kristen Bjorn content but that from Sarava Productions and KB Castings, though I was taken to their tours where you may have to sign-up. That aside, members also get to rate and comment on content and with the forum, you feel like you're part of something bigger and more 'community' than just a set of hot videos and sexy galleries.
When it comes to the cost, you're being offered good deals. $29.95 is a standard price for hot, exclusive and professional gay hardcore, especially with so much of it on offer, and the longer-term deals will save you some cash. The annual deal, for example, works out at $12.50 per month paid in one instalment and will save you worrying about rebilling; you can also now pay by PayPal.
I'm happy to report that Kristen Bjorn goes from strength to strength and shows no signs of slowing down. Dark, handsome, fit, muscled and hung European guys with some from other continents appear in bareback, condom, hardcore with duos, streams and group scenes. The quality is up to HD, there are good stream and download options plus interactivity. Add in the extras like the forum and the DVD content, the updates and the high quality, professionally made scenes, and you're onto a winner.
