Pride Studios recently opened their latest channel, Bare Back and as the play on words title suggests, it's all about bears, and it's all bareback. Hunky, chunky, hairy guys get together to ball and bang in exclusive movies that can be streamed or downloaded in 4K HD, they come with galleries, a good collection of manly bear guys, and access to the rest of the network. That means eight sites in one, with various niches covered, excellent porn-making and a good bargain with low-cost membership.
Bare Back started up a couple of months ago as I write, so I wasn't expecting to find a large amount of content. There were 12 videos to get the ball rolling and an update schedule of a new one being posted every week. That's fine by me as there are then seven other channels to investigate with this membership though not on bear themes, and in total, your membership lets you view and take over 4,500 videos. Here's how it works:
When you log in, you come to the home page for the entire collection of sites and movies/galleries. There's a drop-down list of Network sites, and from there, you simply choose Bare Back to find the 12 or more movies. These are shown with good sample shots, upload dates and titles such as Otter In The Bear Den, I Want To Feel You Raw, and Muscle Daddy Bears. There's a good mix of guys with younger, slimmer bears (otters), chubbier younger guys (cubs), studly older guys (daddies) and some chubbies. You also have your classic bears, guys with muscles and face-fuzz, stocky, chunky but above all hairy and horny. The cocks are equally as hunky and hung, the sex is raw, and it's also full-on, well-filmed, hardcore and high-octane, just as we would hope from a manly site such as this.
Click through to a video, and you find great viewing options, descriptions, links to associated galleries and a trailer to run per scene. The scenes run for a standard 20 minutes or so and come with a range of streaming options. There are eight in total with 4K at the top of the range, then 1080p and on downwards to mobile-suitable resolutions and speeds at 360p, 240p and even a 160p for the smallest screens. Downloads are the same in Mp4, with 3,840 x 2,160 for your 4K, and then 1,920 x 1,080 HD and onwards to the same small mobile sizes. Both streaming and downloading is easy to achieve.
Click through to the related galleries, and you find 40 + images that can be viewed one at a time online or downloaded in a zip file. I didn't see slideshows, but navigation through galleries is easy enough, they are set out in good thumbnail pages with many posed shots from the models, and come down at 1,920 x 1,080 px where they are sharp, clear and fine to collect.
There is also another photo section in your menu, and this takes you to the network collection of galleries, with around 4,200 galleries containing over 252,000 individual images. You can find separate Bare Back site images when you have selected that title from the network, and there are 11 digital shot galleries there, plus those attached to the movies, and in the network collection, you will find more bears and chubs, cubs and otters from other sites in the collection
Which leads me on to the rest of your included content. You've got eight sites in total, over 4, 500 videos and they come from top titles such as Circle Jerk Boys, Boyz party and Men Over 30. Not every site updates, some are archives, and there is a lot of varied content with teens, twinks, jocks, musclemen, leather guys and amateurs, but plenty more bear guys and older, hairy men to see getting down to hardcore and often bareback, and all in high-quality productions courtesy of Pride Studios.
If you like to check out your guys before you check out the porn, there are 25 models in the Bare Back model index (over 2,525 in the network index), including some known names such as Billy Santoro, but not a lot of info about them, not yet at least. There are, though, links to their videos, so it's a handy search function.
You have others. With your video lists, you find category drop-down lists and model names to use, plus there's a general search box, and there are ways to rearrange the content by site or within the network. The design of the site is spot on and gives no hassles, and includes interactive options. For example, members can rate content and add videos to a favourites area as well as leave comments. It's been well thought out and runs with no technical issues.
You have a couple of sign-up offers to consider. Right now, you can opt for a streaming-only membership at $9.95 per month, or a recurring monthly membership at $19.95, which also includes unlimited downloads. The best value is the 12-month option which comes in at $95.40 (about $7.95, in effect), and with network updates coming in just about every day, a longer-term deal does seem to be the one to take. Bare Back has already shown a good update rate, so ill be growing as the weeks go past.
Hardcore, bareback bears banging in high-class and raw movies, that's what Bare Back is all about. You even have some chats and interviews with the guys, and then real, passionate sex that's well-filmed and shot in 4K HD. It's new, but growing with a new update each week, and membership comes with access to the whole Pride Studios network of eight sites for over 4,500 included porn flicks. Give it time, but get on board soon while prices are low, and you'll benefit from the whole network.
