- First Impression
Boy Extra claims to be twink central, and the site doesn’t lie; The boys featured on the homepage are very young, very thin, and very pale (I still don’t know if that’s a specific “twink” requirement, but it seems to come with most twink porn). The selling point of Boy Extra is that you get seven sites for the price of one – that’s a great marketing idea, but you have to keep in mind that most of these guys look the same. If they put every clip here on one site it wouldn’t be much different than it already is; just larger and less confusing.
- Navigation
The problem with network sites is that they’re a bit muddled. Once you log on to Boy Extra there are links all over the place, to their other sites, to bonus sites, to upcoming videos, to most popular videos. Once you do log onto one of the bonus sites and navigate around, the homepage takes you to that site, not Boy Extra. However, as I wrote in the first section, since a lot of these guys look the same, you’re probably not going to be too upset if you get bumped into a different area than what you were looking for. Since Boy Extra is the master site, its main purpose is to show you around the entire network. The European twink site is probably the biggest variation, if only because they have a very unique look. Once you find the Most Popular links and the Model links, you won’t have too much trouble finding what you want. -
- Content
There are quite a bit of photos, but the quality is sadly lacking. The images are poor and rather blurry; as if someone copied them from video stills. They don’t have separate model shoots. The videos fare much better; they have a lot of solo shots and the direction is straightforward and smart. There isn’t a lot of set-up or boring scenarios; the guys just start going at it. The lighting is quite good and the camera stays focused on the cocks. You can stream in Flash and you can download in iPhone, MPEG or WMV. The site updates frequently, but under the “Latest News” section, they still had a posting saying “Merry Christmas.” Also, every guy and video on this site has five stars—which makes me a tad suspicious that it’s not just authentic reviewers adding these scores. Unfortunately, that invalidates the whole concept. The videos are a reasonable length; about 20 minutes. The videos are exclusive to Boy Extra. -
- Guys and Sex
You know, I’m a skeptic when it comes to twinks—mostly because some of them look seriously ill. But there were a couple of young guys on this site who really knew how to get off. The solo clips are often hotter; with the men looking like those guys from high school (or junior high) jerking off the way you always imagined. There are some sites where the guys look bored to death or drugged out, but here they seemed pretty into it. One hot Latin-looking guy takes a dildo up his butt after awhile, and he seems to know exactly what he’s getting himself, er, into. Nobody does anything outrageous on this site, and there are some dull scenes. Despite that title, some of the guys are pretty built. Most people know that twinks are not going to have tons of Ink or be expert fisters or engage in excessive role-playing; the whole point is that they’re amateurs. This site knows that, and shows them off well. -
- Value
When you purchase a membership to Boy Extra you get seven sites. Before you think you’ve hit the porn Lottery, decide if they’re worth it. As I mentioned earlier, most of the guys look pretty much the same. Also, there isn’t a whole lot else in the Extras department. There are no blogs or user forums, and the erotic stories are a waste of time. You also don’t get any live cam shows. Basically, you get a lot of twinks on film. So take a tour before you commit. -
- Overall Impression
Boy Extra is a network of twink sites, many featuring solo clips. The guys stand out among other young gay porn hopefuls, but the different sites don’t offer that much in the way of variety. Some of the clips are bareback, which is a plus or a minus, depending on how you feel about that concept. -
- Bottom Line
Boy Extra is a network of twink sites. If you join one, you have access to all of them. The guys are pretty good, and the videos are above average. -
