- First Impression
People will do anything for money. Shows like Wipeout, Fear Factor and The Hills prove all that. Further proof? Porn. There are lots of sites where people get paid to do crazy, crazy things, and BrokeAndHorny.com is a site that capitalizes on this concept. Visiting the homesite gets me all hyped up for straight guys doing things they wouldn't normally do, if they weren't so dead-ass broke. In a way, it's hotter than when they're tricked or forced into it. There are probably other ways they could make money, but they decide that the best way for them is to maybe indulge in a little gay-for-pay. The home page is decorated just right, in varying shades of muted and vibrant blue, in order to bring your eyes to where they need to go: all the models spreading their legs, lying on their backs or wagging cocks at camera. There's a perverse sadist vein running through this website, but it's safe to watch, because the models are clearly masochistic.
- Navigation
Once you log into the website, they layout and navigation changes it up a bit. Similar to the layout for other sites belong to Massive Gay Pass (see below, as it were), the design is appealing enough, but is different from the homepage. What if what I really liked about the site ends up being just what I saw from the home page? It's like grabbing a book with a hot naked guy on the cover only to discover the book is about pollution; it's a little misleading if the contents don't match the package. Luckily, the site is still appealing, the videos mostly pay off, and the navigation is relatively simple, if not a little puerile. -
- Content
The videos, they are plenty. The photo sets are, too, but aren't necessarily "original content" per se. They're not screen shots of the videos, but like a photo shoot separate from the video shoot. It's nice and all, but why would you look at pictures of what you can see as a video? The videos can be streamed online, Flash-style, or they can be downloaded in various formats. There's MPEG and WMV or, if you want your porn on the go, there's the option to download for your iPhone (because nothing says class like mobile porn). The photos are decent, but lack the option of a bulk downloading option; these pics go marching one by one. -
- Guys and Sex
The guys are hot. I mean, let's get that straight. Maybe it's because they're straight that the guys seem incredibly hot. It seems that in the pantheon of gay porn, being "straight" automatically makes you desirable (which is perhaps why I hate so many of my ex-boyfriends). The thing is, we as gay men want our straight men to be gay; that is, we take delight when straight men cross that line and act a little gay in the bedroom (read: cocks and holes). Unfortunately, in most of the videos, the guys are solo, jerking off for the camera. It's nice and all; like I said, the guys are hot, and there's a nice spread (teehee) of body type diversity (you got twinks, bears, jock dicks, buff bodies, etc.), but unless you're actually watching the straight man getting it in the ass, he's just a straight man jerking off, and I can see that through my neighbor's window (don't be Peeping Toms, kids, it's illegal). So my point is that, while the guys are generally hot, the "sex" is sometimes not. When the sex is hot, though...it's hot. (Yay doublespeak!) -
- Value
Broke And Horny rocks it out of the park with the extras. In addition to tons of videos and photo sets specific to their genre, the site is also a member of Massive Gay Pass, which is as massive as your ex-boyfriend with the teeny weeny is not. Massive Gay Pass is like a dumping ground for all of the videos from all of the sites that belong to it. Diving into Massive Gay Pass is like diving into Dolly Parton's tits: It's going to take four days, a flashlight and some Vaseline to find your way out. As if this cleavage-esque extra isn't enough, Broke And Horny takes it 18 cup sizes further: there are Bonus Sites users get access to including Gay Blind Date XXX and Wild Gay College Parties; Video Feeds, if you just don't have enough videos to watch on Massive Gay Pass; Daily Videos, because Bonus Videos still doesn't take it all the way; and stories, if you get off more on imagination than on what's right in front of you. Like if you were Pippi Longcocking (PS: Dibs on that porn title). -
- Bottom Line
Broke And Horny tries, and tries so hard. Often, the trying pays off but occasionally, the site could try a little bit harder. More man-on-man action, please, and less masturbating. If that's what I wanted to see, I've got a couple full-length mirrors. -
