You know what it's like when you know you want to watch something horny but you cant decide what you are in the mood for? Well, that's when Gay Tube comes in. This is a typical tube-style site with loads of non-exclusive scenes and galleries, it has a high definition department in that there are some HD movies, but it also offers a choice of resolutions to suit all connections. And it certainly offers variety in the seven main categories.
As for actual numbers, it's hard to say as I expect some movies are shared around the seven main categories; some Euro movies may also appear under Hardcore, for example. But there were 24 sample shots per index page (you can change the amount per page) and in Hardcore alone there were 19 pages, so somewhere in the region of 456 videos there. And I counted 400 Amateur scenes, and definitely noticed that there was some doubling up. But that aside, you've got a lot of video content here.
The content is not exclusive which is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, I found a couple of guys here that I was really into ages ago, but who's movies Id lost track of as I was no longer a member of the site they appeared exclusively on. Well, that scene is here now, so I found them again. You too may find some familiar faces. And the fact that the content is not exclusive doesn't mean it's all been seen before, it is not feed content in that respect. And the quality is also pretty good throughout so that's another plus point.
You can browse the movies by category or use the handy lists in the left-hand menu. I checked the top rated scenes and found 24 pages of them. That made me wonder if these were all the scenes on the site, arranged by members rating. If so then the content count for movies is 561. But then again, that number will be out of date by the time you read this as it looks like they add new movies every day.
Anyway, the point is that it's easy to find content here, and there is a lot of it. And it's easy to view too, though it looks like you can only stream. There were H264 MP4 streams, in older movies there were WMV low versions at 416 kbps @ 320 x 240 for slow connections, and higher versions at 1.44 Mbps @ 640 x 480 for faster. In more recent additions I found 2.25 Mbps @ 852 x 480, and 4.12 Mbps @ 1280 x 720. It all depends on where the scene came from and how old it is I guess. There are also some download options for the scenes, again these are varied, but they include mobile phone compatible files.
And as for where the scenes come from, well, they come from a variety of producers and sites. I saw some Twinks For Cash scenes here that I know almost by heart, by that is not the only site with movies here, not by a long stretch. Sextronix have scenes, you can tell by the watermarks, but others you may recognise come without watermarks. All in all it's a big mix of genres.
And that goes for the galleries too. I reckon there are over 1,200 of them and they come with zip downloads, a resolution choice for viewing and easy navigation. They too are updated regularly.
For a site with such a lot of content and variety on offer, Gay Tube is easy to navigate and manage. You can click around using the top menu or the side menu with the top lists, or you can go through page by page. The more you use the site the more you find extra features. You can comment and rate, for example, and you can view images in a choice of resolution. There are even choices for zip file downloads, and several choices for streams and downloads of the videos.
You have a favourites area function to use so you can make your own store, and there is also a function where you can see what galleries you visited last and what content you have rated. There are top lists for models in the left column, and also a list of top categories. Watch out for things like up skirts which is a pretty straight site orientated category if you ask me. I had to try it, and found a collection of gay photos sets. Very odd.
But that little kink aside, what you have here is an interactive and fun, functional and well thought out members area that is easy to use and that presents no problems. There are no bonuses as such, but there are links off to other sites you might like to see, including chat and cam sites.
As far as tube sites go, Gay Tube does its job well. You've got lots of variety, you have great viewing choices, you have quality movies and some older, lower quality ones, masses of galleries, and the site is easy to navigate. It updates regularly so that's good news, and you can see from the tour just the kind of porn you can expect to get when you sign up for full access.
