- First Impression
I gotta be honest, I love the description for FirstTimeTwinks.com: "See them nervously sucking cock for their first time. Hear their moans of joy as a dick slips inside their ass for the very first time. These boys weren't sure until they tried it, and now they know gay is okay!" Seriously, awesome. But so is the site (so far). The guest home page is kitted out solely in shades of blue, so that wherever there's a non-blue color, your eye is drawn there. And "there" are pictures of young, nubile twinks (who seem a little to muscle-y to be twinks) engaging in some rather illicit behavior. Sign me up! - Navigation
Logging in, the blues fade away into accent colors and the videos pop into the foreground. The login page is a bit busy, with a handful of recent updates, ads all over the place, search bars splattered here and there and a couple of navigation bars to get you where you wanna go. It's a little ADHD, or like a kindergartner took a bunch of paint and threw it at a wall. There's something everywhere and it's a bit overwhelming. Less is more, First Time Twinks. Less is more. This site design also makes navigation a bit clunky as well, as it's difficult to figure out where to go. This is mostly a network navigational system, not one for First Time Twinks alone. -
- Content
Video content for First Time Twinks is different from other sites in its network. Here, videos can be streamed online without having to download Microsoft Silverlight, which is pretty awesome. The photo content (of which there is original content and not just screenshots of the videos!) offers some better download options. While clicking on a photo opens it up in a new window without the option of a slideshow, there is the opportunity to download picture sets in zip files. It's a give and take. There are more than 400 videos and 50 photo sets to choose from, but not all of them have twinks. See below. -
- Guys and Sex
The guys at First Time Twinks can only loosely be described as twinks, not that I'm complaining. However, the lack of congruence between the site description and the actual content is a little odd. Why reference twinks if a lot of your models…well, aren't. Likewise, the sex is hit or miss (but usually more hit than miss). It's best when the twinks are going at it, unbridled and not caring how hot they look, when they're completely lost in the act of sex. It's when they're too focused on preening for the camera or fucking lackadaisically. If I wanted to see lackadaisical fucking, I'd call up my ex-boyfriend from two years ago. But I don't, and that's why we broke up. -
- Value
Access to FirstTimeTwinks also gets you access to six other sites including Gay Sugar Daddy and Gay Male Hardcore. Additionally, there's straight content. No, really. There are flash games that all feature naked women and a link to a straight online "dating" site. Why is their straight content on a gay paysite? -
- Bottom Line
First Time Twinks is a queer little site ("queer" meaning "strange" or "odd"…I use it in the perjorative tense). It seems like a bunch of random…stuff…tossed online in HTML. However, there is some pretty hot content worth finding. If First Time Twinks focused on streamlining their site, tightening up their content delivery and quality, and making sure they followed through on a big gay promise, they just might have a hit on their hands. -
