- First Impression
When it comes to porn, “hardcore” could really mean anything. It could be something as simple as a good ass-pounding. It could be something as extreme as gay midgets with a scat fetish who dress up like Asian women to re-enact their favorite scenes from The Sound of Music (what’s really scary about that entire scenario is, I’m pretty sure there’s at least one person on the internet who would read that description and think, “…hey, I might want to watch that.”). Luckily, regardless of your hardcore genre of choice, there’s always a website somewhere online to meet your needs. GayMaleHardcore.com does its best to cover all the basic hardcore videos that it can, even going so far as to congratulate the viewer on becoming “a part of the best online collection of hardcore adult content” on a site that is “highly organized” with the “highest possible quality”. All of those statements in quotation marks will be addressed forthwith.
- Navigation
The site itself is difficult to navigate at best and the visual aesthetic is lacking. A simple white background with a light blue header doesn’t sound like it would detract from perusing the movies, but it kind of does. Without the visually appealing aesthetic to calm the viewers eyes, everything seems like it’s vibrating off the page, everything seems over-stimulating. Site navigation is also pretty confusing: despite the fact that you are logging into a website that boasts having the best online collection of hardcore adult content, there is a dropdown menu that allows viewers to select a different genre of porn. Why is this necessary when there quantity of Gay Male Hardcore video content is so ample? While it seems like the site is diversifying its options, to the viewer it seems as though the site doesn’t have confidence in what it’s selling. Other aspects of the website are also a little bit confusing, if only based on the layout of the website. Most humans tend to read from left to right, which most sites have on lock, Gay Male Hardcore lists its links from top to bottom on the left side of the page. I had to fight myself from letting my eyes travel from left to right and getting confused. The rest of the site seems as if someone just slapped a bunch of videos up for people to watch with little thought of the best environment from which viewers can pull these videos. -
- Content
Perusing the videos at Gay Male Hardcore gives you an idea of the type of hardcore for which the site creators are going: the vanilla side of hardcore that seems to be focused on fierce ass-pounding, interracial three ways and some daddy/son roleplay. Of course, there are more options than that but is any of that truly hardcore? The videos vary in quality. There are those that seem vintage, as though some kind videographer spent hours cataloging porn from the 70s and 80s and uploading it to the internet. There’s something intriguing about watching porn made from before I was born when things like bareback sex weren’t entirely taboo. To this generation, that porn is hot because it’s illicit. To that generation, that porn is just hot because it’s hot. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are videos that are crisper, cleaner with better lighting and better sound. In theory, this works but in practice, when placed up against the “vintage” videos, the newer videos seem a little too clean, a little too pat, a little too safe. Even as hardcore as the new videos might be, the shadowy lighting and seedy looking 80s-porn style made the vintage videos seem more hardcore. -
- Value
In addition to videos, Gay Male Hardcore also boasts full-length DVDs from which these movies are pulled, as well as screencaps from the videos themselves. Like some other sites with incredibly large site volume, Gay Male Hardcore also offers a “My Favorites” section, which allows gentle viewers to save their favorite videos for later viewing. Viewers can also check out the Live Cams section, which viewers to chat in group or on a 1:1 basis with some of the models. Additionally, there’s a blog that’s not really a blog at all, so much as a link to a site where there’s more straight content than gay content. -
- Bottom Line
While GayMaleHardcore.com has a large collection of online hardcore porn, said porn isn’t always hot, nor is this the best collection by far. However, the videos are hot which is what most people who look at porn generally tend to look for. Myself include. -
