Although Exposed Boyfriends itself is something of a disappointment, as it only has a limited number of clips and doesn't live up to the promises of the tour, it does grant you access to the Pride Vault network of sites. That's about the only saving grace though. Our hope is that the company get around to finding and adding more of the home porn, self-cam style clips that the tour leads you to believe you are getting.
Before you switch off, as this isn't going to be a very pretty review, bear in mind that your membership actually leads you to a set of some 410 movies. But these are not all on the theme that the tour described, they come from a variety of sites set up by Pride Vault. Your membership also comes with access to a large stock of non-exclusive DVDs, and there are updates happening. So, if you've not met Pride Vault before this is one way of accessing it. There are many other ways in, for example through any of the 23 sites that make up the vault and there are an additional nine exclusive sites to add to that list too. You certainly get variety from this membership with fetish and twinks, studs and interracial sex in a wide variety of sites.
Actually, Id call them categories with titles. Some of the sites like Exposed Boyfriends, only have a few scenes, which doesn't really make them a complete site. Your network is really the site with the various parts of it making up your large, and it must be said, mainly good, collection of movies - and some galleries. It's all a bit hit and miss though.
For example, Exposed Boyfriends had only seven clips and these looked to me as if they had been pulled down from some adult tube site. When you see the tour here you think that you are going to a) find loads of content and b) find a tube style site where you get lots of clips sent in by real people and where also you hope to find a way of sending in your own. No. The site is not like that. You've got these seven clips and, by the way, they were all added on the same date in 2007 and nothing has been added since. And you get to stream them or download a file in one of two qualities. That's it. No pics, no information, no update news, no way of sending in your own and no extra functions. The network is all about bringing you videos and generally they are good and exclusive, but this collection isn't the best thing about the network at all, sadly, and there really isn't a lot else to tell you about it.
Except: I kept trying to get to the hairy bear clip and kept getting, instead, to a spotty ass presented to me in a jock strap. Not even good home porn then, and clearly something technically wrong. I tried the link to the spotty ass one and found the hairy bear one, so that was ok in the end. The clips are short and not brilliant in terms of quality. That's ok, we expect that from these home-porn tube style offerings. We just wish that there were more of them and that the tour was a little less misleading.
Moving around inside the vault is not a problem. You home page lists all the sites and you can choose where you go from there. There is also a top menu to take you to the list of sites, scenes, the extras and support. The scenes pages are all the same with a Flash stream and download options, these tend to be WMV and you always get a full scene option, and sometimes clips. Sometimes you get galleries too.
But what you don't get is news on updates, a chance to rate or comment, a way of actually getting involved with your site, or a favourites area. There is no model index either so in this respect there are very few extra features to enjoy.
There is news on the home page, which mainly tells you when a new site has been added to the list. And that's another thing to look out for: This network tends to prefer adding new sites or rather small collections of clips/scenes, than actually adding to what's there though some more established sites do get updated. It looks like they're setting up a large list of good ideas, before someone else thinks of them, and then leaving them alone. Perhaps, when they've got enough sites stared they will go back and start updating what is already here, and lets hope that Exposed Boyfriends is one of them.
Disappointing in the fact that there are only a few clips and they are not very long; but fine in that you get loads of extras and bonuses and access to hundreds of DVD and exclusive movies from the Pride Vault. You've got to weight up the pros and cons here and if you're looking for an adult, tube style, share your home vids site, as the tour makes it look like you're getting, then sorry, but this is not the place for you. But for well made and varied porn movies, it's not half bad.
