In the last few years there have been a fair amount of new sites coming on line that take the same premise: amateur, often straight, guys will do gay sex for cash because they are broke. Broke Ass Boys takes the same theme and gives it its own slant by selecting younger twinks for its main attractions. It started doing this in March 2009 when it uploaded the first eight movies, and hasn't added any more since. That's because the network is concentrating on adding more bonus sites and you get 29.
The Pride Vault Network is ever-expanding; recently it has added another four sites to its collection, which means loads of varied content for you, but it also means not a lot of movies in your chosen site. Broke Ass Boys has eight scenes for you, full length or in clips, good quality, high resolution and well made. Each features two sexy younger guys, a storyline and build up, and hardcore action. Each can be run in Flash or downloaded in WMV in parts or short clips, and a full scene runs for around 20 minutes.
Those are the basic technical details. As for the scenes themselves You'll find a fair amount of setting up at the start of each one, a pizza delivery boy may feature, for example, being coerced into a gay sex session, or an ordinary looking younger guy from the street. This runs on for a few minutes before the action starts. And then were left with standard twink on twink scenes, with good looking guys and a standard progression of sex from sucking to full on anal. From that point of view you get horny enough viewing, but you cant help feeling that there is something missing here. Its not the quality of productions, or the quality of the sexy guys, I think its purely numbers, updates and galleries. The network concentrates on movies though and does give you hundreds to view in its bonus sites and movie theatres; but not all of these are on the twink/reality theme.
Mind you there are at least six other sites in your network that are about twinks and sex, others that are reality themed and others with smaller fetish themes such as creampie action. You can also access the Twink Mov DVD theatre where you have a large selection of twink hardcore to stream or download so you are not being stinted on extra content. The quality remains good throughout with, usually, a choice of high or low resolution scenes to view. And you get exclusive models too, so there are hundreds of youthful hunks in the content generally that you wont have seen before.
And that means that what you are really doing, when you sign up for Broke Ass Boys is buying into a large network that is constantly expanding. So much so that each little niche sites tends to get put up and then left for a while as the company go out and make up another site. Hence the small amount of scenes in the site that first attracted you. But as time goes on you should be able to expect more content to be added. And if not more content then certainly more sites.
No matter what site you sign up for in this network you find yourself coming to a shared home page. Here the 29 sites in the network are all listed and you simply select the one you want to see. There is a welcome message at the top and then an image of the site you joined. Every time I come into this network, no matter via what site, I am always told I joined Bi Archive, even though I didn't, which is a bit odd. There is also some update news at the top here though it was last updated in February 2008, which was 18 months ago now and the latest site was added in July 09. Something for someone to sort out one day.
Each site opens up to a page (or more) of scenes from that title, and you simply select the scene to get a small Flash player streaming the movie in a full length versions straight off. There are then choices to stream or download the WMV clips at one minute each, The transfer rate was nice and fast at around 90kbps, so you wont have to wait long to view your scene. There are no ratings, comments or add to favourites opportunities, and no galleries either. Its all very simple.
The movie theatres work in a slightly different way with more choices of categories, search options and viewing choices. There are loads of extra titles in here and just one of these two theatres is worth the sign up fee alone.
From your top menu, back on your main page, you can also view a list of all the Pride Vault scenes, 370 of them, and the DVDs that are available in the theatres. There is then a link to the support area. Its all very simple to navigate and well laid out so there is no getting lost, and everything technical worked just as it should have done.
The thing I've noticed about this network is that is starts each niche site off with a small amount of scenes and then leaves it alone while it builds another site to add to your list. This means that there are bigger and better gay for pay reality sites out there that are updating more frequently, but it also means you have a lot of good exclusives here, in various genres, plus the attraction of two well stocked movie theatres. Its a reasonable price to pay for a lot of varied porn.
