- First Impression
With a tour that promises hundreds of gay porn DVDs to choose from, Real Vids makes a nice impression with its clean layout and clearly laid out offerings. You know right off the bat that this porn DVD megasite features straight, gay and tranny porn DVDs to choose from, with more than 600 male/male titles alone. In fact, a helpful ticker at the top tells me that there are 658 Gay DVDs, with additional thousands to choose from if you swing both ways. Unlike many websites, Real Vids stays the same once you log in, which is a relief. All you get here is DVDs, and lots of 'em. - Navigation
All obvious jokes aside, I am really anal retentive. The most difficult part of a successful DVD megasite is how to offer up all that content in a logical, easily navigated way. Real Vids delivers. There are literally dozens of ways to search for your favorite titles, and once you get the hang of it, you'll be jerking off in no time. A helpful side bar offers the most viewed, most downloaded, top rated and new releases. Each film is tagged with tons of niche choices such as "rimming," "teen," "swallow," and "big cock". You can browse by studio, by category or by film series. My only complaint here is that the model search seems to be geared toward the straight side only. "Browse Models" shows me some naked women and, upon clicking through, I get lots of boobs and not a lot of dick. Most men are listed but shown as "No Picture," so good luck finding your favorite male stars here. There are only 83 listed, a large difference between the 4,000+ female models on the site. Improving its pornstar database would really appeal to gay porn fans. That being said, the porn itself is very easy to find and their system is very user friendly. -
- Content
As stated, there are more than 650 full-length gay porn DVDs to choose from. This might not be the best of the best in terms of studios, but there is no way you can browse around and not pop a boner. DVDs are a full 120 minutes in length, but they are broken down into 2,845 scenes which you can stream online or download as a WMV, MPEG or mobile device file. Highest resolution is 854x480. There are no photos on Real Vids, other than the covers of the DVDs themselves. -
- Guys and Sex
As with all DVD megasites, the kind of porn you get depends on the kind of porn you are looking for. The genre searches range from the broad ("blowjob") to the much more specific ("voyeur") and the results also vary. If you're searching for brunettes, you'll get lots of options; if you're searching for double penetration, there will be fewer to choose from. The men are mostly amateurs, not big name stars, which means a lot of "guys next door" types, but there is a very nice variety of blacks, Latinos, Asians, young twinks, bears and older studs within your results. If you are into the standard variety Caucasian jock-type pornstar, this may not be the place for you. The sex varies from rough bareback and fisting to solo masturbation, depending on the title. -
- Value
For just under $30 monthly, Real Vids offers a nice deal if you're not too picky about what you're watching. If you're also into straight or transsexual porn, the deal improves immensely. The website updates multiple times daily, although I have no way of knowing if their gay DVDs are updated as frequently as their straight ones. There aren’t any bonus offers here, but there are many nice user perks to enjoy. You can review each scene, or read other Real Vids member reviews. Save your favorites to build your own spank bank, or switch over to their "Tube View" to watch videos tube style. -
- Bottom Line
Real Vids is another DVD megasite, with a nice collection of gay porn within its mostly-straight archive. Despite the plethora of straight porn, you get hundreds of amateur gay titles to choose from with many user features that make it worthwhile. -
