It's all about the men at Island Studs. This unique site if full of amateur guys who visit Hawaii and who, while there, agree to be interviewed for the camera, strip and show their manly cocks, play with them, jerk off or simple pose. Some videos get a little hardcore; others are duo jerk-offs with gay and straight guys alike, newer movies are high quality, there are streams and downloads, photos and a model index. It's all exclusive, and updates happen.
Island Studs has been online a few years now and must be one of the true amateur site left standing. It runs on a simple template design that's easy to handle, and it looks to be well cared for and regularly updated. There are 460 videos and galleries right now and over 320 amateur male models who appear in solos, non-touching duos, or, occasionally some helping hand and oral videos.
The guys are the thing and what they all have in common is that they are amateurs. These are men, aged 18 and upwards who come to visit Hawaii, or who live and work there, and they are brought in to chat to the cam, strip, play, cum, and generally hang out. The model index is the place to start to get a flavour of the dick on offer. Here, you are shown face shots of each guy and their name, and there is a good variety in the makeup of the cast list. For example, selecting one page at random, I found a cute, straight redhead from Southern Georgia. He was chiselled and fit, wore scruff on his face and sported a long cock. Then there was Sefa the beefy Samoan, Brad the Polish/American college wrestler dude and Akoni, a fit, sweet Hawaiian boy with a thick bush of dark hair. The list could go on, and these guys come from all over the world with a leaning towards Caucasian and Asian guys perhaps.
All guys get a good, solid writeup with their videos, but not a great deal in the model index itself. No matter, we're led by the face pics which lead to a list of the guy's videos and galleries and it's one way to find your content. You can also check out the videos and photos area, though the content is the same in both as all videos also have galleries.
The videos run for 30 minutes each, and a good part of that is taken up with introducing the men, chatting, interviews and watching them hang out in the pool, in the sea, with each other in lush scenery and general non-porn but naked scenes. There are, of course, the sexier parts whey they strip down, get their soft cocks hard, slowly jerk, cum and then maybe go for a swim. It's mainly amateur, solo vids here with some where the guys were together on the bed, but I wouldn't say it was a hardcore site. I searched for 'hardcore' and found a few videos, but they were simple 'pose and strip' duos, rather than fuck-vids, as if 'hardcore' at Island Studs means 'couples', no matter what they do.
You have a choice of how to view the videos with older ones being midrange quality and newer ones now in a higher quality format, with WMV and Mp4 available, plus clips. The more recent Mp4 downloads were at 1,280 x 720 HD, and were a good enough amateur-style quality, while others are at 1,920 x 1,080 HD (WMV), with smaller versions on offer at 854 x 480 @ 3,000 kbps. The filming style is natural and amateur with the camera guy doing the talking and chatting, encouraging the guys as they jerk.
The 460 galleries hold various numbers of images each, some softcore, some showing the men hanging out or swimming, but there's always a jerk off section, and some of these dicks are massive. I'm talking 10 inches here, and the images are high quality, so you don't miss an inch. You can run slideshows online, download solo pics at 700 1,060 px, and take zip files with two choices of resolution.
The content quality at Island Studs is fine, though older videos are not as high-res as newer ones. Updates appear regular, images are decent quality, the site is basic but easy to manage, and there's excellent info with each video. It's a great place for amateur, straight/bi/gay boy first-time (and repeat) appearances and stays mainly with the solo jerk off niche.
Island Studs has one of those adapted template designs but with several parts of it stripped out. It concentrates on the guys, videos and pics, with no bonuses or extras, but it does allow you to leave comments, add to favourites, rate and create your own tag words. Navigation is easy enough with three simple areas to browse and numbered index pages. The descriptions are lengthy, well written and set the scene before a video, and I had no technical issues - although sometimes I wasn't able to jump through streams, and downloading can slow up your screen temporarily, but not badly.
I'd have liked more info in the model index, just some stats really, and also a better search function. Still, the site is mobile compatible, and there's a mobile version included, and it delivers what it promises, just not in the most user-friendly way. The ups outweigh the downs though, it's all exclusive, and the guys are very varied and yet all amateur, and very often amazingly well hung.
The pricing is interesting because you're not being asked for the usual amounts. There's a 13-day tour for $21.95, almost as much as a standard monthly membership to many sites, and a monthly one at $34.95, which is at the high end of the monthly scale. For $84.95 you can access the members' area for 89 days (three months), and that's a more standard rate and worth considering. However, this is exclusive content, remember, and you're not going to find these guys anywhere else.
Amateur, varied, hung, smooth, shaved, dark, white, Asian, Hawaiian, solo, partnered jack-offs and cum shots with loads of general, softcore hanging out with studly amateur guys style videos - you get a lot to look at here with over 430 exclusive movies and their quality galleries. There are new HD movies to stream and download, the site works with models, there are interviews and chats and lots of info per scene, and it's all exclusive. The best thing? Getting to know the amateur models.
