- First Impression
I love Italians, and almost jumped at the chance to check out a site with the word in the title. I guess I should have added “really hot Italians,” as the men on here aren’t really the kind of guys you imagine rescuing you when stranded on a boat in Vienna. There’s nothing wrong with the men here; they pretty much look like a lot of guys on amateur sites. The site itself doesn’t really offer a whole lot—you get the clips, you get a calendar of events, and you get a cam show. That pretty much sums it up. Like most “home-made” clips, the organizers like to entice you with stories of “his first time” and recruiting straighties into the world of homosexual sin. That’s a turn-on for many of us, but it’s also old news by now. - Navigation
The site’s design could use a touch-up. First off, when you log on you go straight to the hetero site; the gay dudes are found on a link to the right. Once at your preferred destination, there are a couple of updates, and then a bunch of notices for videos that are Coming Soon. There are no more new clips under those ads—you have to go to the movie link to find all the films. They do have about 50 in total, which they nicely tell you at the top of the homepage. There’s not a whole lot to look for and the search engines work fine. The very small thumbnails don’t do what they should to get you hooked, and they don’t have model portfolios so you can see who you’re getting. -
- Content
They do have a large selection of photos for all the clips and they are reasonably good. They’re screencaps of the films, and it’s a nice way to take a peek at what you’re going to watch or just get off in a slower fashion. You can view all of them in a slideshow format. The videos are terrible quality; bad lighting, sound, direction. The sets are hideous-looking bare rooms that a homeless man might turn down. You can stream in Flash or Quicktime with different speeds. If you want to download, they have MP4 and iPod options. There was minimal buffering with the streaming. The clips are kind of long—up to about 40 minutes on one that I watched, and the site updates about twice a week. The material is not exclusive to Italian-Gay.com. -
- Guys and Sex
As I said before, don’t expect ciao bella men on this site. Truthfully, they look like they’re from Anywhere, USA, with medium-to-muscular bods. Some of them have lots of piercings, and most seem to have natural body hair. They’re all pretty young, but you don’t need to ask for I.D. As for sex, they’re on the romantic side—one definite European trait. No one seems to be getting painfully plowed in any of the clips, and there’s a lot of kissing and teasing until the big bang arrives. The camera does a good job at getting the rim action. On the downside, romance is fun, but sometimes you really want to see some hardcore fucking. You’re not going to find that on this site. -
- Value
Like many gay porn sites, this one seems half-baked. You don’t get a whole lot of films or guys, and you don’t get any interesting extras. (No, I don’t count “pussy clips” as an extra.) I do like the calendar, which opens up and tells you exactly what day the next movie is arriving. There are live cam shows, but that’s pretty standard. Since the clips aren’t all that exciting, the site is only worth it if you’re madly in love with some of the men. It’s a big plus that you can download. -
- Overall Impression
I’m not sure what the ultimate goal is for the creators of Italian-Gay.com. The site is small and in need of work, and there doesn’t seem to be a visible agenda on the list, or a target audience in mind. Most amateur sites really try and hit you over the head with a theme, and “Italian,” in this case, is not very indicative of the kind of stuff you’re going to find. It’s not terrible; and it’s not particularly good either. -
- Bottom Line
Italian-Gay.com is an amateur site of guys having sex in many group scenes. The clips and guys are average, but there is some nice sex at times. -
