Man Royale is one site in The Gay Room network of 13 hardcore sites, and when you sign up here, you get instant access to all the others. What you also get are over 337 exclusive scenes featuring hunky, hung studs aged 18 to 30 +, bareback and condom hardcore, images, HD, mobile downloads and plenty of classic, gay porn. The site's had some update issues lately and hasn't added much over the past few months, but there's still a large and good collection of high-quality videos to see and save.
If there's a theme at Man Royale, it is 'stud', as many of the guys are fit, tough, hung and horny tops in their 20s and 30s. The next main theme, if you're looking for themes, would be big-dick, as just about every guy sports a fat, thick cock that's also on the six or seven inches plus scale, heavy balls packed with cum, and all of them are either power tops or power bottoms. There are some interracial scenes, but mainly we're looking at white USA guys, cut and uncut, mainly smooth but some darker, hairier guys and all of them get off having gay sex.
There's a model index here, which isn't easy to search as you can only do it alphabetically, but that's one way of checking out the guys, and among the hundreds of hunks, you're going to find a few pornstars of note. (For example, Tommy Defendi and Tyler Sweet.) There are also plenty of newbies who came to Man Royale to make a scene, were discovered, and then went on to other companies to make other porn. They are of that kind of calibre of 'amateurs' and pull off their scenes well.
Starting at the home page, you find 337 scenes in this one site alone, and they are laid out in release date order. Now then, of late, there have been few updates. In fact, there have only been three updates in the past four months, which isn't such great news, and only the most recent movies come with their release date stated, do it's not possible to work out when movies were added, and thus what the update schedule should be. It's certainly not as advertised, but a few updates are coming into other sites in the network when you go an explore it.
Meanwhile, the Man Royale movies, apart from being excellent quality and well-filmed, are a good length with scenes running for around 30 minutes each. They play out brief scenarios to get them started, and soon fall into the hardcore with BJs, rimming, ass explorations, sometimes toys, and then full-on fucking and cum shots. It's great 'real man' sex with raunchy bottoms and hung tops, and there are no disappointments in that respect.
Nor are there any with the visual quality with large HD streams to run, and a choice of downloads. Recent movies come with 1,920 x 1,080 Downloads, plus 720 and 480p for mobiles and all in Mp4. There is also a WMV file at 720p, though older movies may have fewer choices and lower resolutions. Older ones also have an Mpeg option. Downloads happened nice and fast, and I had no hassles there, nor with the streaming, where you can go full screen with no loss of quality, and you can jump through the action is you want to.
What there isn't at Man Royale or the other sites in the network, are descriptions and model details. The site could do with more of those if only to set the scene and tell us who we're looking at. But, on the other hand, you do have sets of screencaps at 1,920 x 1,080 px, trailers and galleries of around 50 + pics each at 1,500 x 1,000 px, so there is something extra to collect there. (Older scenes don't have all these options or extras.)
Your bonuses are not immediately apparent as there's no 'Sites' or bonus page, but you will see a link' check out our network sites' which opens a slider of images at the top of pages. When clicked, the images link to your extra sites. There are directional arrows to move this slider along, but they don't work, so click and drag to scroll through all 13 sites. Between them, they hold 1,606 movies right now that come from sites such as Gay Creep, Massage Bait and Office Cock. So, there is loads of variety, and the theme of hunky, hung men continues.
Navigation is pretty simple here but could do with some more features. There are no linked tag words with videos, for example, but there is a category page with 15 basic category headings to use as a filter. You can only search/browse the model index one letter at a time, and the models have very few details if any, but they do come with links to their videos. You can rearrange content and browse a drop-down list of models, but upload dates are not shown.
When on viewing pages, you can add scenes to a favourites area and give the video a like, and further down the page, you can also leave comments. So, there's some interactivity to be had, and it includes an account area where you find your stored favourites. When viewing galleries, you don't have slideshows, but you do have easy navigation and zip file downloads.
Currently, you get a great offer on membership to Man Royale and The Gay Room network. The price has been dropped to $17.95 per month, and that's not just for one month, but for the life of your membership. It's cheaper than the three-month option right now, but the annual one saves you more because it equates to $9.95 per month. You do have to watch out for a cross-sale already arranged on the join page (you can select 'no thanks'), and be aware that the trial offer for one day soon recurs at nearly $40.00 per month if you don't cancel or convert during that 24 hours.
Man Royale has done well to add 337 movies and has always stuck to its value of high-quality porn, fit models and excellent filming. It's suffering from a lack of updates (as are many sites these days), but it does offer you another 12 other sites in The Gay Room network, so you don't go short on content. Also, it's dropped its prices, not its standards, and so now, membership is a bargain. It's all about top porn boys, hot amateurs, raunchy man sex and high-quality HD, so, what's not to like?
