What's really nice about Gay Smut Online is that it doesn't mess around, it's not pretentious, it's not pretending to be something other than what it is, and it comes with a decent stock of videos and access to a couple of exclusive sties. It's a place to come to find some studio released Videos to download, quite simply. And then you can click into the bonus sites to view some more hot content while you wait for more updates.
Actually the updates I am not sure about these. There were no dates and no news, but there are over 90 movies here already and each one of these runs for a decent length of time. You will need WMV to play them, downloading is fast, you can take clips or the whole scenes, and you have some basic information about each of them.
Unlike many sites this one doesn't give you samples and silly descriptions, but you do get images when you settle on a movie and its main page. You have a list of titles when you click the Download video tab in the simple menu, and these titles come with runtimes and file size. There is then a link to the details page.
It's here that you find the box cover, you're told the title, who is appearing and the runtimes again. There are no links here to other movies from the same studio, or to the models, but there are easy to find links to the stream and download. The ones I tested were all WMV at 1.99Mbps @ 640 x 480 in size. The streaming was smooth, once buffered, and the download rate was pretty quick. The visual and sound quality was fine too, so although there is not a lot of choice for your players or resolutions, what you have chosen for you will serve you well.
These non-exclusive movies cover various categories, but there is no category list and no search option so you are led by the titles. After clicking through a few you will see that some come from series, some are twink themed, some are interracial, there are ebony titles and generally there is a wide variety of porn, or smut if you like. It's a mixed bag and will appeal to anyone who is looking for general porn rather than anything specific.
There are no galleries here, but you have a small set of images to show you what takes place in each scene; they don't enlarge but they are good sized thumbnails. For extra content you will need to visit the exclusive bonus sites, which you find in the bonus tab in your top menu. You have Gay WC for some cottage sex scenes and Drunk Gays for some wild, boozy sex parties. (See our separate reviews of these.)
So, a general stock of 90 or so gay porn movies on various themes, good quality though limited viewing choices, and were not sure how often the site updates with more.
There are very few extra functions and features at Gay Smut Online either. Like I said it's a very simple and to the point site. You've got some details with your movies, simple download and stream links and some basic information. The bonus sites are to be found on one page and there is a help/FAQ area if it is needed. The home page is made up of a welcome message and a link to another site, not included, and that is about it.
This simplicity makes for very easy navigation but no interactivity no model index, no favourites area and so on. So, if you like a neatly designed and compact site that's got all kinds of everything and some specific bonus content, you will do well here the sign up price is standard to low too.
There really isn't much to say about this site except that it does deliver you some well made, studio-released, non-exclusive scenes. It's easy to navigate and use, and it comes with bonuses. You get you value for money from these extra two sites and from any updates that may be planned a little more information on this score would be useful. But I like the way it is so simple and down to earth, and there are many titles in here that you may not have seen before.
