- First Impression
BaBoink.com is one of those huge networks of DVDs. You log on, and then it’s Gay Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; you’re eye, and other parts, taking you wherever you wish to go. When you first log on, you see a note that it’s been around since 2003, and that’s both a good thing and a bad thing. Many of the clips are older (which I think is cool), but with age comes lack of quality. The videos are fine, but Baboink.com has some glitches. The first issue (and it’s a small one) is that when you log on you see…pussy! Yes, you’re in the right place, but you need to click on the link that takes you to the gay folks. Also, when you start going back into the archives, a lot of straight porn gets thrown into the mix. Like a few other sites, baboink.com lets you download its own player. This has pluses and minuses too. It’s nice to have all the same clips automatically stored in one place, but sometimes you get bumped off. I had several experiences where I had to re-log on, re-give them my stored password, or just have files disappear. As long as you know what you’re getting into…
- Navigation
Despite the bugs in the system, the site is fairly well organized. At the top you see the most recent films and scenes, or you can find the most popular DVDs or scenes. You can also search by model or content (I couldn’t find any of my favorite porn stars here, so it must be mostly smaller companies and amateur content), or you can go to the live cam shows or the bonus sites. If you’ve downloaded clips, they have the library for easy access. They have a Player category that didn’t open up when I tried, and I didn’t want to test the Easy Burner or Easy on TV plug-ins. -
- Content
If they have photo sets, I couldn’t find them. This site seems to be strictly for porn-film fans, and doesn’t have exclusive photos. The clips themselves vary in quality (you’re dealing with all sorts of different studios, as well as year of release), but the newer ones tended to look extremely good. There are lots of Pacific Sun Studio clips (they always seem to show up on these big group sites), and the camera-work and lighting is exceptional. On my PC, downloads automatically went to Internet Explorer. The site updates several times a week, and, according to the banner at the top of the homepage, there are almost 6,000 scenes in the archives. This is not counting their straight content. None of the material is exclusive to BaDoink.com. -
- Guys and Sex
Whenever you’re dealing with a collection of different studio films, the guys are going to be all over the map. The genre that stood out the most here was muscular guys, with not a lot of Ink or facial hair. Since you can pick any genre, you’re gonna get the whole range of guys doing a whole range of different things. They do have some young, smooth-looking men and some kind of haggard, amateur types that tend to turn a lot of men on. I didn’t find anything extreme, like complete bondage or really big bears, but there’s a lot to choose from. The type of sex they have varies, too. I’m finding more and more often that some of these “lesser” studios with big aspirations are a little cautious in the hardcore department. The guys fuck each other, but you get the feeling they don’t want to shove too hard for fear their makeup might run. The flip side of that equation is that some of the men are so pretty you actually find yourself staring at their eyes. Check the site out thoroughly; if you can, go through lots of older clips, not just the most recent videos. -
- Value
When it comes to porn, I’m all for sites that give you tons of different guys to choose from. BaDoink.com succeeds in variety, and the only real setback is that they don’t have any major studios or stars to pick from. The extra sites are more of the same (and some of them are straight), and they don’t offer wallpaper or user forums. They do have live cam shows. Remember, too, you get your own BaDoink library. It’s good to note that you’re not required to download it. -
- Overall Impression
BaDoink.com is a solid collection of porn videos from different studios. The fact that you’re not going to find Falcon or Colt here is either a plus or a minus, depending on whether you like those sites, or depending on if you already have them and are looking for new guys. There are some glitches with downloading and getting bumped off, so be cautious. Personally, I like that you can download into your own library—easy to sort this out with the rest of your collection. The guys are all over the place, but there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find something that sparks your interest. -
- Bottom Line
BaDoink.com is a massive porn DVD archive that updates every day. While the site has some glitches, there’s a huge amount of hot men to download. -
