Hot Desert Knights, one of the top hardcore, bareback and fisting fetish production companies, now lets you see all their exclusive movies in one place. HDK Raw is packed with steaming movies that members can download or stream and it comes complete with access to their other four sites too, as well as some bonus feeds. There's a good update schedule, so you're not going to need to go anywhere else but here for your big, butch and beefy men.
It's hard to know what else to say about HDK that's not been said elsewhere, and just about all of what you read about them is positive and good. They are known for good quality movies and hard-hitting scenes, their big and butch guys and their accent on bareback, fisting and raw sex. But did you know they also incorporate jocks and sexy younger guys into their movies? It's not all older dads and leather men. And that means you find some variety in your 355 movies at HDK Raw.
When you enter the members area you find a list of recent updates. These cover all the sites in the network and you will see that there is something new just about every day. It may be a clip or a longer scene, it may be a new photo gallery or model in HDK Men, or a new behind the scenes scene in Making Gay Porn. If the update is not to HDK Raw it doesn't matter as you can access the other sites simply by clicking one on the Bonus Sites page.
As for the movies in your first site, where you've just signed up for: Technically there are no problems. The index pages link you to individual pages via the sample image, and here you get a choice of streaming or downloading. There are various players in use, such as WMV at 1050kbps @ 640 x 480, a Flash stream, and an iPod download as MP4 at 500kbps @ 320 x 240; the transfer rate comes in at a decent 70kbps or so. You can see what's taking place in each scene thanks to the screen caps that come with it, so if it's not what you thought you can click back to the index page and start again.
With this amount of movies you're going to be in here for a long time and you're also going to be pleased with their quality. Those I checked had no flaws, the sound and image were clear and as for the filming, well, no complaints there either. It kind of goes without saying that the men are really into what they are doing too, and these guys are pros, so you're not going to get any silly gonzo stuff; just hard and raw bareback and fisting scenes. And orgies, and threesomes, and dungeons, and oral, and anal, and Czech guys, and jocks, and smooth boys, and hairy men. It's like a never-ending paradise of porn.
You may have gathered that I rather like the HDK sites and the way they put things together. You'd be right, but I do have a couple of grumbles. Some of the streams were a very low resolution, at 286kbps @ 360 x 288 and were only short clips. (Though this means that your connection speed wont be a problem when streaming.) And it would be good to have more information about the models. Apart from that though no complaints with the content at all.
Getting around inside HDK Raw, and the network, is a simple affair. There is a top menu that is permanent and takes you directly to the videos, home, search, feeds, bonuses, live cams and help. Each index page is numbered and contains sample pics of the videos that lie behind them. There are descriptions and of each scene and its upload date and all the links and texts are clear.
When you're in an individual movies page you will see that you can rate the scene and cast your vote for it, you can add it to your personal favourites collection and you can write and read comments. This means you have some interactivity and can let the company know what you think of their work. These little features apply to all of their sites so your favourites area can become a collection of the best galleries and movies from all five sites in the network.
And each site has a similar design and the same layout so you don't get lost; the extra sites open in new windows so you always have your first one open for when you want to come back to it. For more entertainment you have he nine third-party video feed sites and there are some well known names in here, such as Jake Cruise and Paul Morris. The live cams link will take you to what is basically an up-sell site (pay to fully enjoy) but HDK give you 120 free credits to get you started, which is jolly nice of them!
So basically, with your home page and menu containing all the extras and links, update news and search box, you've got no problems with using or navigating at HDK Raw.
Bareback and fisting leap out at you as the main thrust of HDK Raw but take time to explore and you will find softer scenes and younger guys too. But this isn't a twink site so you can forget that! The quality is fine, you can stream or download easily and there are loads of extras and bonuses. You get what you are promised on the tour and that's the main thing. And you get very regular updates too, access to four other HDK sites and last but not least, you get value for money.
