Gay Life Network recently had a facelift and is now even smoother, sleeker and simple to use. Members still get the exclusive content, the hardcore videos and galleries, and they still benefit from several bonus sites and feeds, but now it all looks so much better. The new system seems to have bedded in well and there were no technical problems with the site, so well done chaps. And thanks for the top quality movies and the very sexy guys.
Lets do the numbers thing and get it out of the way first for a change. You currently have 31 exclusive scenes to view, each with a gallery of around 100 reasonable screenshot images at 640 x 480 in size. There are DVD quality movies at 720 x 480, iPod versions at 368 x 208 to download, and two qualities of streaming too. Movies run for around 25 minutes each. There are four gay sites in your network including Bedable Boys and the newer teach twinks, and five straight sites. You have five gay feeds and 10 straight ones, and there are about 200 models in the model index. And all that for under $29.00 a month.
Ah yes, you say, but is it any good? Yes it is I reply. The guys are varied but all sexy in their own way, ranging from twink through jocks to almost-hunks; the filming quality is good and the performances are natural, the sound is fine and, well, there is nothing to grumble about here. You'll find smooth and hung guys sucking and fucking and bucking until the final messy cum shots, there are very erotic moments as well as hardcore ones, and you never have to wait too long before the action really heats up.
The galleries tend to be screenshots but actually are not bad in terms of quality. These video captures can be small and grainy but here they've been taken from the HD camera and so, though not huge, are acceptable enough; you can also run them in slideshows or download them as zip files.
What the Gay Life Network has also done is to try and find various locations to give the scenes a bit more variety. So you can expect to find your standard two guys making out on the bed, or the sofa scenes and then ones that are set in a gym, the bathroom, the store room or in a bar. Some have intros to them with a little build up and the pairing off of the various boys works really well. There's a lot of chemistry in these screens so you're getting more than just two guys fucking. You know sometimes you view a scene elsewhere and get the impression that the models are only doing it for the money; not so here. And, you may well find a group scene thrown in for good measure too.
The bottom line with the content is that it is good quality and well made and it features some very sexy, hung and varied guys.
I entered straight into the Gay Life Network area and there was the list of the first set of movies, there were more on page two. Each one had a description and an image and upload date. The names of the stars are there and these link to their model index entry; so that was all nice and easy. Later, clicking home I went to a different page; this is the general network home page and if you want to get back to your main episodes then you need to go via the link on the Exclusive Sites page. Its probably best to consider yourself a member of a network rather than a site and be prepared for the extras that you are given. Then the home page makes sense, as it gives you updates to all the sites, news, links to the blog, a members poll and various unobtrusive advertisements to some stores and dating sites.
Click through the other pages and you will find links to the feed sites and the bonuses, more stores and the model index. This, like the whole network, is totally searchable, the guys have a brief intro and links to their appearances, you're also told their ages.
As for other extra features: you can slideshow your way through the galleries, download the pics as zip files and write your own comments on anything you see. Over on the video pages you can read more information, its easy to find the download and stream links, (clips or full length) and there is a ratings system from awesome to not worth it. (Doubt you'll need that last one.)
All these extras and additions go to make a very interactive and enjoyable experience in a network that is well designed, good quality and great value.
Apart from being hardcore and hot, were not too sure what the main area of the Gay Life Network is about there's no particular theme. But that's ok as the other sites have themes (twinks and bareback), and the quality is good. I guess you could say its simply hardcore, but its better than the average and very easy to access, view and download, so there are no problems there. The extra features make for a fun experience and a smoothly running one, and the updates to all the sites ensure you
