Sarava Productions is the porn studio of Kristen Bjorn, a guy who has worked for Falcon Studios and others. He finds his models from all over the world, so you see American, European and South American hunks in his movies, and he clearly favours fit, tough guys with big dicks into manly hardcore as opposed to the smooth and hung twinks of East European porn. You've got over 690 streaming scenes from 116 full DVDs here, updates happen, and there's a cast of 630 + muscular studs to get off with.
You may have heard of Kristen Bjorn, a well-respected producer of 'real-man' hardcore who employs muscular, fit and often hairy straight-looking guys in his bareback and hardcore porn. He has a casting site where you get to see the guys in their first action, and there are some casting scenes among the 698 currently on show at Sarava Productions. Also in this catalogue of cock and cum, you've got more experienced models in duo and threesome fuck scenes, with plenty of pre-fuck foreplay too.
Let's start with the guys. These are men, not lads, boys, twinks or even jocks, and many of them sport chest hair, beards, scruff and muscular hairy legs, and yet they are not your classic older bears. There are plenty of Mediterranean guys, as Kirsten is currently based in Spain, so you find European studs in your model list of 638 guys, but there are others. You find plenty of South American and Caribbean guys. Men like Vitorio Mendez from Venezuela, and Rafael Ferreira from Brazil (both eight inches, uncut), but you also find fit and smoother guys, though not as many, like Jakob Lee, a versatile hung guy from the Czech Republic. You can browse the model index and select a guy to check out, and then find his stats and details plus links. (I did find that some of the numbered index page links lead to guys' profile pages and not the next index page, so watch out for that navigational glitch.)
Meanwhile, over on the first of many video pages, you find all kinds of hardcore taking place. Yes, there's plenty of fucking, and it's often bareback, but the scenes can be arranged in categories, and these show you the variety on offer. There are scenes with and without condoms, 188 movies featuring blond guys, 535 with Europeans, 84 interracial, five BDSM scenes, five with Asian guys, 208 three-ways and a collection of DP movies too. Each one has at least one cum shot and some rimming and/or blowing, stripping, kissing and other build-up action, and these movies certainly don't disappoint.
The quality is no disappointment either, neither in terms of filming nor presentation. The standards are high. These are streaming-only movies though, so don't expect downloads, but do expect movies of 20 + minutes that are full-on, high-octane, man-sex, and they don't disappoint. You arrive at a viewing page to see the stream screen and a description which you can expand, plus links to the guys. That's it. It's a simple page per video with no images other than the models' profile shots. Click to stream, and you find a smooth-running movie with up to four options for speed/resolution.
Movies are now 1,240 x 968 and great quality, older ones have fewer viewing choices but are at 906 x 698, and some were shot on film so are what you might call a 'vintage' quality. They can all go to full screen though, and with the more up to date scenes, you have mobile sizes, medium HD and Full HD playing in Mp4.
Updates are not mentioned, and there are no dates, but I know the site has been adding new content. There are 698 scenes now whereas a couple of months ago there were only 679. You can also check out the full DVDs from which these scenes come, and there are 116 of these from Sarava Productions set out in their own pages. They are there with trailers plus links to their component scenes and to the models in the index. If you want to keep up to date with what's new, then you've got access to the Kristen Bjorn blog which holds recent news, regular posts and an archive.
Apart from one little glitch where the model index page links led me to individual models' bio pages for some reason, I had no trouble navigating Sarava Productions. (I simply changed the page number in the address bar from 1 to 12, 17 or whatever, and that worked.) You're able to easily use category heads in a list when searching for movies and scenes, and the top models are also listed in a drop-down from the main menu. The main model index is excellent with some stats and clear links, and it's good to know which country each hunk is from. You also have a basic search box but no advanced search page or function.
Viewing pages are simple with the stream screen and its option, a place to rate each scene, links to the models' bios and other movies, and a description. There are no comments and remember, no downloading. Across the top of your pages, you will find links to Kristen's other member sites, his shop and tube site for trailers, but apart from the blog, there are no other extras.
Right now, you can join Sarava Productions and get to see 116 full DVDs for only $19.95, less than the price of buying one DV in a shop. There's also a non-recurring monthly membership at $29.95, and longer-term offers of $49.95 for three months and $79.95 for six. Sign-up is via a trusted company, and there are no hidden charges or cross-sales.
Kristen Bjorn's Sarava Productions have a class and style of their own with their gorgeous, hunky and manly models from as far afield as South America, the Czech Republic, and Colombia. Every model is a fuckable stud, every scene is high-octane, hard, gay porn, and the site itself is neatly set out and easy to navigate. You have over 698 streaming scenes from 116 + full DVDs here, a blog and updates and all for a very reasonable price.
