Jake Cruise started his hardcore site many years ago, and up to 2017, regularly updated it with exclusive content. He retired from production in that year, but the site remains an archive of some of the hottest scenes in gay porn. Now and then compilations are added, and older movies have been upgraded to HD. With its combination of hunk solos, fit guys in their 20s to 40s, professional stars and amateurs, some straight guys, massage sex, bareback and some older/younger action.
When you browse through the content at Jake Cruise, you find a good mix of solos and hardcore, duos and threesomes. It's all about sex rather than scenarios or stories, and Jake uses a great variety of models in his exclusive content. It's not updated much since we saw it a few years back, and that's because Jake retired from producing porn three years ago. What we have, though, is an archive where new members can dig back through the past and find pornstars on the cusp of fame, and Jake's laid-back hookups with newbies, and now that everything has been upgraded to at least 720p HD, the content looks better than ever.
The model index shows us 385 guys who've passed through the Jake Cruise studio over the years, and it's an easy index to search. You'll find guys like Tyler Sweet, the cute, fit twink who made a name for himself in porn when young, and, further back, Turk Mason, once the top-twink of gay porn (with his then BF Vega, aka, Winter Vance). Also in the list, you find Tommy D of Next Door Studios fame, Topher DiMaggio, seen many times on Men.com and others, plus Zeb Atlas, Jaxton Wheeler and Mitch Vaughn. Jake appears in loads of scenes himself, both as top and bottom, and as many of his cast are younger than he is (he was in his 50s when a lot of this content was made), you've got some very horny older/younger scenes.
Along with these top names, you've got newbies, or at least, guys who will be new to you as they've only appeared at Jake Cruise. Skim through the model list with its large body-shot images and you'll find smooth, hung dudes like Mike Rivers, a 27-year-old bottom with an 8" cut cock who Jake fucks, Beau Flexxx, a 33-year-old straight/bi guy with an incredible 9" dick who also appears on one of Jake's other sites, Straight Guys 4 Gay Eyes, and plenty of fresh faces, hung cocks, and good-looking twinks, jocks, studs and muscled men. The index gives you a few stats and then links to each guy's video, so it's one way to browse content and learn about who you're going to see in action.
That action takes many forms in the 650 scenes. There are some massage movies, some where Jake and his man chat to cam and then get down to natural suck and fuck scenes, others where Jake is behind the camera, and we have to studs making out, cum shots always included, and others that are solos. Browsing the scenes list brings you large sample shots and the guys' names, the runtimes and star ratings, and a simple click-through brings you to a simple viewing page.
The more recent movies are up to 1080p HD, while all of them, including the older ones, are at least 720p. You have Mp4 downloads at 1,920 x 1,080 or 1,280 x 720, plus two smaller sizes at 480p and 360p to suit everyone, and scenes run for between 15 minutes for solos up to 50 minutes for hardcore. There are also streaming options up to 720p, and descriptions of scenes with some other handy info. You won't see upload dates any more because this is an archive, but with 650 movies to enjoy, you're going to need plenty of time in the site to check it all out and save as much as you want.
Most movies come with images too, up at 960 x 540 px, or 640 x 960 px for older photos, and these can be viewed one at a time online, or you can take a zip file. There are about 10 to 20 videos that don't have images, but when they do, you find the links on the viewing page. As per the movies, the quality is fine, and you've got no worries on that score.
These days, you've got a bonus site included with your membership, and you'll find the link to you extra content in the top menu. This is the only place you can access it from, so you have to be logged int Jake Cruise to get to Hot Dads Hot Lads. This site is all about intergenerational hardcore, like some of Jake's movies, and gives you 99 original movies where fit, hunky older guys and younger jocks get together in duo and threesome scenes. For example, you'll be able to find hulking Robert Van Damme fucking the juice out of Tyler Sweet and Nick Capra doing Casey Everett at this site. With 67 varied guys to check out and more hot hardcore. It makes for an excellent bonus.
Okay, so back to Jake Cruise and the technical side of things. You won't have any trouble with navigation as the site is sensibly set out. You can click through from one index page to the next, or enter numbers to jump from the start to the end of the content/model list. There are a few ways to arrange the content, and a category drop-down list to help you filter. The model index can be searched in the same way, or you can look alphabetically. Models come with a few basic stats but, more importantly, with links to their videos, and acts as a good browsing tool.
Viewing pages let you get slightly interactive with rates, but there are no comments facilities, though you can add scenes to a favourites area and come back to them later. The site's well looked after, the bonus site opens in the same window and runs in the same way, downloads were fast, and streams ran smoothly, so, I had no technical or quality issues at all.
You have a few options for signup. The monthly recurring membership stands at a reasonable $24.99 though you can opt for one month only at $34.99. The 90-day option is at $49.99, which basically gives you one month for free and recurs at the same price, or you can take a one-off, 90-day membership at $74.99. Whatever you take, you get full access to all content and to the bonus site.
Whereas it's a shame Jake isn't making porn anymore it's understandable, and the blow is lessened by his archive (with occasional compilations or other updates) of 650 scenes that feature 385 varied guys. Quality standards are high, all movies are at least 720p HD, and all are original. Most come with photos that are highly collectable and together, it gives us a large amount of duo, solo and other scenes with star names and newbies alike. Add in the bonus site, and you've got a bargain.
