- First Impression
The first thing I think when I visit the homepage for WickedTwinks.com is "Oh my God, my eyes, MY EYES!" There's just too much going on. Too many colors, too many patterns and textures, and the problem with that is that the homepage is just one big real-life picture of two twinks going to town on each other. The rest of the page is occasionally adorned with a bare asshole or two twinks fucking bareback (so there's at least one thing to look forward to), but it's all so frenetic.
- Navigation
When I log in, it all changes. It's less frenetic, but equally as odd. The color palette changes to one that I can only describe as "watermelon". Seriously. Go to the supermarket, buy a watermelon, cut it open and take a look at all the colors. Those are all the colors you'll find at the Wicked Twinks members area, with the occasional rainbow. It's not bad, it's just...odd. I don't necessarily know that I want to look at a gaping asshole that's snot green in color. Also, right in the middle of the members homepage, "Wicked Twinks" is misspelled as "Wiked Twinks". In my opinion, if you can't spell your website name properly, you're probably not going to pay attention to the important things like, y'know...men and sex. But we'll see. The navigation is simple enough; everything is easily found. -
- Content
Photo content is original, which is refreshing. Too many paysites lately rely on photo content that's just a retread of their videos; not screencaps, per se, but no different vignettes from their videography. Viewing the photos is kind of a pain in the ass, though. When you open a photo, the photo itself is larger than the internet browser. The definition is great, but I don't like having to scroll around just to get all the detail of the picture. Additionally, you can only view the pictures one by one, and you have to manually click through the photoset, rather than have it presented in a slide show format. There is no bulk downloading option.
Watching the videos is kind of a pain in the ass as well. Videos can either be viewed online using Flash, or downloaded to watch using Windows Media Player. What sucks about all of this is that when streaming online with Flash, you can't jump around on the video. You have to watch it all the way through. Now, I know that I can get kind of antsy, but for those viewers who just want to jump right to the fucking without all of the treacle at the beginning, you're stuck downloading the video (which is especially shitty if you're a Mac user). -
- Guys and Sex
The guys are mostly pretty attractive. I have this thing about twinks: if I have to watch them, I'd rather they not be super gay. I'm not trying to sound like a dick or anything, but you know how some guys--mostly twinks--just have gay face? The twinks at Wicked Twink don't have that. If it weren't for the fact that they have dicks in each other's mouths, I'd have no idea these twinks were gay. The sex is kind of hit or miss, though. Mostly, it's a bit lackluster, which is definitely a point of contention when I can't jump around while streaming with Flash. I have to wait through 15 minutes to get to the fucking, and then I have to wait even longer to see if the fucking is going to get good. When it does get good, it's great. When it doesn't, it just feels like a waste of time. -
- Value
As far as value goes, there's not much else to the website. There is the Twinks Blog, but that's as far as it goes. There isn't any bonus content, no access to other websites or anything to that effect. Wicked Twinks does show you some of its favorite twink websites, but no sneak previews, just links to their visitor's homepage. -
- Bottom Line
WickedTwinks.com isn't the best twink site, but it has potential. Look for those hidden gems and you're good to go. -
