Circle Jerk Boys is an archive site within the Pride Studios Network and contains 1,055 varied hardcore gay movies. There’s not a huge amount of circle jerking, but there are plenty of straight-looking amateur guys jerking each other off and fucking in duo and group scenes, plus some solos too. Although the site no longer updates, it comes with unrestricted access to a network of 12 sites that offer you star names and amateur in over 5,000 downloadable movies plus updates.
Circle jerk Boys started out back in 2003 as a straight guy jerk-off site, offering individual, handsome first-timers in chat, strip and jerk movies. These short, three-minute clips are still there, and they give us a selection of white and Latino guys with fit bodies and juicy dicks. As time moved on, the site put up some duo scenes, but not hardcore ones. These were videos where two straight guys jerked off side by side, and these were mixed in with more solos. The standard of the men remained high; masculine, good physiques, a mix of cut and uncut cocks, and mainly Caucasian. Somewhere around 2004/5, we started to see duos where one guy jerked and sucked the other, then we had some three-way wank sessions, and finally, we got to see hardcore.
By the time Circle Jerk Boys stopped adding content in 2014, we were seeing a similar mix of content, with studio-style, less amateur productions, duo scenes, plenty of hardcore, many solos, and some group scenes. The idea of a group of men jerking in a circle never really took off, though there are some of that type of movie in the mix if you search through. While you do so, you'll come across plenty of decent quality movies with stunning amateur guys appearing in a variety of well-made productions.
There are 1,055 videos in the Circle Jerk Boys archive. The oldest content is available in four resolutions, from 160p up to what was then the standard, 480p, so don't expect them to match up to today’s quality. The most recent movie, ‘The CJB Secret Fraternity’ posted in July 2014, comes with seven download options, from 160p, through midrange resolutions to full HD at 1,920 x 1,080, and, as with every scene, the download files are in Mp4 format. Streaming is possible with the same choice of resolution, and in the later days of CJB, the movies were running at 20 minutes or more. They all come with a ‘theatre mode’ function which lets you watch online in widescreen format. They also come with galleries.
Not all videos have images in their galleries. Some of the oldest ones, when clicked, come up with a message saying the content can't be found, but the newer videos still have images attached. When you find images, they are at 1,920 x 1,280 px and are a decent quality. With between 30 and 100 pics per set, there’s plenty of online viewing, and you're able to save individual images one at a time. Zip files are also available for full-set downloads. When and if you do find older images, they are sized at 600 x 800 px, and although the quality isn’t stunning, they are still good enough to view.
Apart from being a piece of gay porn history, Circle Jerk Boys also gives you the chance to explore the Pride Studios network. There, you find 12 channels in total, and although not all of them update, enough of them do, and that means you have a large collection of porn, with 5,171 scenes and continuing updates. Included in the network are Dylan Lucas, Family Creeps, Extra Big Dicks, Men Over 30 and Boyz Party. There are also some Pride Studios originals and compilations, plus a set of 46 non-exclusive bonus videos. The network updates eight times per month, carries 4,576 image galleries and had a model index with 1,204 varied amateur models.
Provide Studios has a very neat and practical members’ area that makes navigation very easy. A side menu takes you to the videos, galleries, men, channels and an area where you can store your favourite pieces of content. When you hit the video pages, you find a second menu listing categories, channels and the guys. You can filter by channel or model, and there are various ways to rearrange the content. You can even see what scenes are coming next.
The video viewing pages carry linked tag words that you can use as filters, and they also come with scene information and links to the models in the index. Members can rate the content, add pieces to the favourites area, and leave behind comments. So, all the good and functional interactive elements are there, and I found no technical errors at all, making browsing the members’ area a simple task. If you have any issues, there are clear links to support, and as the company uses Fame Support, you’ll find a quick and efficient service.
As for signing up, remember you're joining the Pride Studios network as well as Circle Jerk Boys, and that’s why an ongoing membership is worth considering. You can try a trial for $1.00, but it’s limited access and comes back at a high price, or you can go for the discounted monthly membership at $14.95. This and the other memberships are for both streaming and downloading, and you have a choice of monthly, three-monthly ($68.95) or an annual membership at $99.95. That one offers the best discount and works out as the equivalent of $8.33 per month. Beware of the cross sale on the payment page, but otherwise, you’ll find no hassles in the sign-up process.
Although it is an archive, Circle Jerk Boys offers you plenty of variety, both in the models and in the action. From solos to group scenes, with a few circle jerks, it stands out as one of the original gay porn sites, and it’s good to see the content has been preserved. Membership to CJB comes with access to the Pride Studios network of 12 sites for over 5,000 hardcore and solo movies, plus updates. If you like variety in your gay porn, then this membership and network offer plenty of it at a good price.
