The Gaystar Network is one of my all time favourite networks, I thought I would let you know that from the start. With its 1,300 videos, 206 galleries, 811 stars and 17 sites, you've got one of the biggest and best twink and jock networks going. It's well priced, good quality, interactive, easy to use, updated, and everything you could hope for in a gay, adult collection of sites. From top porn stars to amateur boys you are going to find it all in here.
I mentioned the numbers there and they are growing all the time. But you also need to know that your 1,300 movies (scenes) come from 11 studios. And, if you want to be assured of quality, then you'll be interested to know that these studios include: Boys Casting, Blue Pictures and Xtreme Productions. You can search out your scene by studio if there is one in the list you really want to try, or you can simply flick through the movies index pages, or the home page to find a scene by sample shot. You've also got the option of finding your content by model, by using the vast model index.
Perhaps you are interested to know what the sites are that the network is made up of. Well, there are 17 and they are mainly twink and jock themed. You've got the likes of Twink Boarding School, for schoolboy fantasies, Twink Clinic for medical fetish, various club sites which are collections of boys own works and these boys are the likes of Turk Melrose, Hunter Wylde and Sean Corwin. There are Latino guys, studs, a bi-sex site and bareback as well as a couple of reality sites and the famous Fuck That Twink. And a couple of others I've not mentioned, as I want to leave some surprises for you.
But you wont be surprised to learn that the quality of the productions from all these studios and sites is very good. Lets choose a recent, random video and see what's on offer in terms of viewing: Well, you've first of all got a very well set out viewing page with information and interactive options. You have a stream, a set of three downloads plus an iPod compatible version, a set of screen caps and a way that you can click an image and leap straight to that part of the stream. What ever version you take or view you will find good quality. The filming is spot on, the sound is fine, the visuals are clear and even the older movies come across as just perfect. No complaints from me about the quality of the movies or the ease of access.
And the galleries are pretty hot too. What's really neat here is the countdown telling you when the next gallery will be uploaded, you don't often see a function like that. You've got all kinds of guys, many hunks and studs, and twinks and the whole site is searchable. You get good sized sample shots with basic details; click these for the thumbnail pages with a choice of sizes of images, and then click the thumbs for the digital shot. All were big and still clear, there are great action shots and poses, and all are highly collectable.
So, in terms of content, the Gaystar Network not only gives you all the content from all of its 17 sites, it also gives you variety and quality. And that goes for both videos and galleries. Actually it also goes for design layout and the stars themselves. If you are looking for gay porn that ranges from twinks together to guys over 40, sometimes with twinks and teens, and with some mild and fun fetish content included, then you are looking at the right network to join.
Just to make your viewing pleasure even more pleasurable the Gaystar Network also gives you loads of neat interactive options and things to do. You've got the standard things like rates and comments, and you can always get involved by writing in and saying how good you think the movies are. But you will also find a set of extra things, like: you're able to email pages to friends, report errors and bookmark scenes/pages easily, there are details about numbers of views and how many comments, and links directly to the DVD store for certain scenes. You've also got plenty of help and support if needed, plus details of your account and a messaging service.
All down the sides of pages you find links to other similar scenes, or other work by the same stars that you are currently looking at, and the top menu is static. Basically, you've got no trouble with navigation here. It's all well set out and easy to use, and there is nothing misleading about the members area at all.
I found the whole network very easy to use and great to be a part of. The home page lists featured videos and galleries, and stars, not necessarily in date order, so finding out how often updates happen is a question of looking at the details of the videos or galleries one by one. I did this and found one new video every three days or so, with galleries being added less frequently but still regularly.
Like I said, this is one of my favourite networks and anyone looking for good quality and good value should consider joining it. You've not only got great twink sex here with some top twink names, but you're seeing more and more jock and stud sex creeping in too. You've got various and good ways to view movies, you can keep them all, there are great photo sets and the site/network is really well designed. Everything runs smoothly, and you get a great service as a member.
