Making Gay Porn must be one of the most unique sites around. It's all about what goes on behind the scenes at Hot Desert knights, one of the top porn producers working today. But there is more to it than just backstage footage: you get to see the scenes, you get to access the HDK bonus sites, there are articles and blogs, news and information, and throughout you have high quality productions and totally load blowing guys. Expect hardcore and fetish scenes too.
Here's a rough content count as of today: 130 videos and 50 photo sets, 11 articles, nine feed sites and four full bonus sites. That should be enough to get you started. But those numbers will be out of date very soon as there is something new added to one of the sites in the network just about every single day.
So, where to start? Well, as is standard, your home page brings you news of what's new, what's coming soon, what's top rated and what's most viewed; so you have some guidance there. Or you can use the handy top menu to jump straight to the videos area and start searching the numbered index pages. Each movie comes with a choice for viewing; there are streams in Flash and WMV (227kbps @ 360 x 280) and downloads in MP4 and a much higher WMV format too. Movie lengths vary but none are so short as to be pointless; 15 to 20 minutes is the average.
And the content is varied too. Some are shoots of shoots, with cameras and directors working away, some are the end products with horny guys fucking like rabbits, solo straight boys jerking off and couples in erotic action. The variation means that you never get fed up with what you see, and it also means you get some surprises along the way. HDK is known for its hardcore fisting and ass-ramming content, leather guys and butch men, but there are some lovely smooth jocks in here too, often on the receiving end of a daddy's dick, which is always hot to view.
The quality of filming is good as you would expect from such a top studio, there are neat sets and good lighting, quality sound and great performances. No problems with quality or quantity or variety at all.
The image galleries hold decent numbers if pics at around 50, that are 650 x 970 in size, clear and digital. Again no problems with the quality or of viewing; everything here is easy to find and access. Which goes for the articles too. These are presented as a list, in text format, and when you open one you find the article clearly written out for you with example photos to break up the text. They are not too long, so you don't get bored, but they could be a little more detailed, with more tips for guys who are truly into making their own porn.
And for extra content you must check out the bonus sites. At HDK Fisting, Raw, Central and Men you will find just about all the HDK content in video and gallery format. There are very hardcore scenes here with fisting and ball torture, leather and other fetish scenes as well as more straightforward fuck-fest scenes. But all are hot and well made, all are easy to access, and members can stream or download everything here.
As you zip around this well laid out and expertly presented site you will notice that you have several little interactive options that enhance your membership. You can store things up in your favorites area, and this applies to the whole network. You can rate scenes and galleries as you go and have a say in what is top of the polls. There are areas where you can comment on scenes and you can also read what other members have written. It's all fun and easy to use and you feel like you are actually a part of something, rather than just being someone who is allowed to watch. If you want to be specific about what you find then there is a keyword driven search engine; and if you have any trouble there is a help area.
The design is nice and grey, with clearly written text and everything is well set out making it easy to read and view. Pages open nice and fast and there were no technical problems at all when I called in. Galleries come with slideshows and are easy to browse through too.
There is no model index, but if you click over to HDK Men, one of your bonus sites, you will find that here there is a list of all the guys working for this stellar company. Simply go to the bonus page and click the site you want to enter, and it opens in a new window; you go directly to the members area. Actually this whole site, the Men area, is like a model index. This means that when you find someone really hot you can easily see if he has made any more porn for the company. (I fell for one guy in a threesome scene and took the trouble to search him out. It was worth the searching!)
It's really good to be able to get behind the scabs and see how porn shoots are made; and it's also really good to then see the end products too. It's like HDK have divided its operations up into sites: one for the model index, one for the bareback, one for fisting, one for everything, and then Making Gay Porn to show us the bits you don't normally see on a porn site. It's hot, great quality, excellent value and, well, for fans of backstage and fans of hardcore, you cant do any better.
