Gay POV has a simple set up and is a simple site. Its not got a huge amount of content as yet but it comes with bonus access to Gay4Cash to help boost your value for money. But what it does have is good quality and on topic and the theme here is guys filming themselves having sex. The sex is hardcore and takes you from blow jobs to anal to cum shots and its all exclusive too. You've got a good choice of viewing resolutions and good quality galleries.
Checking in to Gay POV you'll come to a simple home page from where you can access the videos and galleries, a DVD store, customer service and the updates page. Clicking straight into the videos area I found a page of 15 large images depicting each individual scene. Clicking one of these brought me to another page that contained all the viewing options and the description of what was to come. This was all very straightforward and easy to do, so no problems there. The movies can be streamed in WMV and downloaded as Mpegs. You are treated to various resolutions here with a low 56k for anyone on dial up and a high 600k @ 640 x 480 for faster connections; with two other options in between. This choice means that no one should have a problem viewing their movies.
The gimmick here is that the guys film as they go and so you get to watch as if you were the one being blown or fucked, or doing the fucking. (Filming while you're sucking someone is a bit tricky I guess, but its done at least once here.) This reality view works, and that's good as that is the point of the site. Sometimes the camera is away so you're not always right in close and feeling claustrophobic and sometimes it is in very close, closer that you could probably get if you were actually fucking the hot boy beneath you but that's because cameras have zooms and eyes don't. But still, it works.
The boys are hot and horny, smooth and mainly young, they are mainly white too but with one ebony appearance at the moment. (Sean is in every scene but his partners are varied.) The galleries will show you how its done. These photos were taken during the filing/sex and so you can actually see the guy with the camera. There are 15 galleries and they have around 100 pics each that click up to 533 x 800 in size. The quality is fine and you get some nice close ups of the action, though that big black camera does tend to get in the way after a while.
All in all the connect here at Gay POV is good but thin on the ground. Some more updates and update news would be good. The Latest Update page doesn't list dates or whats coming soon and there were no dates with the content so its hard to say if and when something new will be added.
Navigation is simple here as there isn't very much to navigate around. The pages are designed with white space being an important factor so they look clean, but a little sparse but all the links worked well.
Apart from one: I checked out the DVD store and found a page of gay movie titles, I clicked one that looked interesting and was told that there were no matches, but would I like this straight DVD instead? I don't think so. Someone needs to do some work on this area as they're going to lose sales if they don't give you the DVDs they're listing but offer you straight porn instead. And I had to back button out so having this is a new window would be handy.
There aren't really any interactive options either, no favourites area - not that you would need one with only 15 movies and 15 galleries and no comments or ratings either. The support page is very basic and simply sends you over to where you can cancel your membership. Something that, sadly, you might what to do after viewing the limited content.
Gay POV has a great idea and does it well but it just doesn't do enough of it. There are not many scenes here though they are original and well made; were screaming out for more. Navigation is easy as the design and site is simple and small, but more interactive options and update news would also help in fleshing out what is basically a neat idea that needs more work.
