- First Impression
Sometimes the lack of an apparent genre for a paysite can be a blessing or a curse. On the one hand, if you don't have a hook, it could be hard to get people to come to your site. I mean, throw the word "bareback" in a name and people know what to expect when they come to your site. On the other hand, if you don't have a hook, it leaves yourself open to really anything. You're not pigeonholed into one genre of porn. The world is your wide-open asshole, ready to spear for the taking (side note: "Wide-Open Asshole" is the acclaimed single by the gay country group, "The Dicksie Stix").
- Navigation
69GayVideos.com is one such site where you don't know what to expect. From the name alone you can expect that there will be gay videos. Perhaps 69 of them. Or that the site might only be videos of gays 69-ing. Who knows, really? Checking out the home page is also slightly confusing. The banner stretched across the top of the page feature a couple of buff, tattooed daddies, but the rest of the page doesn't necessarily reflect that. Kitted out with a black background and light blue and green accents, the home page is kind of a hodgepodge of everything. There are different body types, different races, different ages. 69 Gay Videos seems to be one of those sites that has a little bit of everything. But is it hot?
Logging into the website doesn't actually get you access to 69 Gay Videos, it gets you access to the Male Unit network. Of course, 69 Gay Videos has its own section within that, but what it means is that the site design on the front page ceases to exist. This is neither good nor bad. It just…is. There's no distracting or unnecessary site design, but there's also no site design to enhance what you'll fine. Like the genre-less paysite, it can be a catch-22. The navigation is pretty simple; it's quite easy to get to where you want to go. -
- Content
The first place you'll want to go is, obviously, the videos. 69 Gay Videos offers both original content specific for the site as well as previously-produced DVD comment. If you're looking for picture content, you've got one superfluous photo set of a "Hot Twink !!!" that really isn't all that hot. Like I said, stick with the videos. The videos can be streamed online (and there's this awesome part where, if you click on the video timeline, a small thumbnail pops up to show you what happens at that moment--a great way to hop around the video if you so choose) or downloaded in hi or lo definition for Windows Media Player or your mobile phone. The DVDs are broken down into scenes and can be viewed in the same way. -
- Guys and Sex
Now, those original videos, and the guys in them. For every insanely hot guy, there's a guy who's just kind of average. Forever every sizzling video, there's a video that's just kind of average. Now don't get me wrong, average isn't necessarily bad. 69 Gay Videos teeters on the bring of being really hot in nearly every aspect. The DVDs are a little bit hotter, but much of the same. It's not an inconsistency per se (if for every good video there were a bad one, then I'd call it out on inconsistency). It's more like…anxiety, for lack of a better word. When you know that something is right on the verge of being really awesome and you're just waiting waiting waiting for the scales to tip in its favor. That's what the guys and the videos are like. Right now they're pretty good, but they could be awesome. -
- Value
Bonus content at 69 Gay Videos is all found within its network. Remember how logging into 69GV is actually logging into Male Unit network? That gives you access to all 17 sites that fall under its domain including Big Cocks and Jocks, Twink Clinic and Bare Back 101. The updates seem to be slow and sporadic, but there are 17 sites worth of content to keep you busy, so that's something. -
- Bottom Line
69GayVideos.com is one of those genre-less paysites where lacking a genre works in its favor. With a broad collection of body types, races, (hell, even jobs; you can watch fireman, cops, "professional" hockey players…) there really is something for everyone. However, updates seem to be coming slowly. If they step it up, this site has potential. -
