- First Impression
Interestingly enough, as soon as I log onto HotBoysAtPlay.com, I see none other than hot boys at play. The main page of this site wastes no time in enticing me to see more. And there’s a lot to see, so right away I know that I’m going to be seeing a lot of skin, a lot of sex, and a lot of twinks looking very pretty on my screen. Or in this case, I should say they’ll be looking hot. There’s no tour, but there is a preview video. And this one, unlike other previews, showed me a lot more than I was expecting.
- Navigation
The site itself is very well organized, and for now it’s really easy to find what you’re looking for, but as it grows (and all young things must grow into older, more experienced things), there will be some growing pains, I think. There’s no search mechanism on the site. For now, there aren’t a lot of videos for you to go through when looking for something to watch, so it’s not really a big deal. In time, however, as the site grows in volume, there’s going to be more of a need and it’s going to be harder to find specifics. This is a niche sight – all twinks, all the time – but for the person looking for something a little more specific than just “hot and young,” this site might get frustrating. On the upside, the look is also all twinks, all the time, so there’s nothing to look at but the hot boys as they are at play. -
- Content
This site isn’t called HotBoysAtPlay.com because it’s a funny name. For one thing, it’s not a funny name, but more importantly, it’s full of high quality hot boys having a good time. The pictures are very well done with excellent lighting, and since they’re high resolution photos, you can see everything! They’re available to download as a zip file, or you can view the images in a slideshow. There aren’t a lot of photo galleries yet, but since this is clearly a newer site (started just about a year ago) I’m going to possibly make an ass out of me (and (yo)u), and say that there’s more to come with these pictures. The videos are medium-high quality. The lighting is fine but the sound wasn’t that great. Also the hand held camera work was a little bit shaky, but after a while you don’t really notice that anymore and your eyes are locked on a pretty boy touching himself. Or in this case, hot boys at play! The videos can be downloaded on either Windows as a WMV or on a Mac for your Quicktime player, and they can also be streamed online, but if you’re going to stream them, you still have to wait for the video to download. I didn’t really see a point in waiting a half hour to watch something once, so I just downloaded for later watching. As with the photo galleries, there aren’t a whole lot of videos yet. The site is actively updating once a week so buying a membership for this young site just means that there’s more to come. You’ll also eventually be able to access other sites with your membership, so at least you’ll have elsewhere to find your porn if you have a three day weekend and stay at home the whole time. All content is exclusive to HotBoysAtPlay.com, and they’re definitely dedicated to giving you exactly that and nothing more. -
- Guys and Sex
I’ll be honest: this site wasn’t my cup of tea. After scanning through the site I actually went to the support area to make sure that the boys are all at least 18 when they’re being shot. They were, so I didn’t have to worry about packing my bags and changing my identity, but these guys look very young. I like my boys looking a little more like men (my motto could be “Where’s the beef?”) so I can’t say that I was drooling over these boys while they were at play. Having said that, when I stood back and looked at them objectively, it’s easy to see that these are clearly some very good-looking younger guys. If you’re into young twinks then this site is going to have you blowing your load like clockwork, just based on the pictures. The other thing going on with this site is that there isn’t a whole lot of sex on it. Most of the video and photo galleries are of the twinks on their own, at play with themselves. I saw a few videos where they were actually having sex, and they seemed moderately into it. I have to wonder if maybe these are a lot of first time guys in front of the camera and they were too shy or too nervous to really play it up. If I’m jerking off alone in my room, I’m going to do it with a straight face and bored look in my eyes. But if I have a camera on me because it’s being uploaded to a porn site, I’ll make sure to put a little more into my performance, you know what I mean? Again, I still think that if you’re into the younger-looking boys, you’re going to love this site. -
- Value
Buying membership at HotBoysAtPlay.com is a pretty good deal. You’ll have access to the exclusive content, plus the photo galleries, PLUS you’ll have access to other sites through the same network. You’ll have to wait a month before you can have access to those other sites, but just think of it as a test of endurance. Plus, there’s a lot of awesome porn to watch on this one, so you can take your time going through those, and after 30 days, you’ll have a whole lot more pretty (erm, hot) to look at. The downside? It looks like the access only lasts for 25 days. I was a little fuzzy on the rules there, but perhaps as time goes by, they’ll change their policy OR the way they write it to make the rules more clear. Watch out for this one – it might be making promises that sound better than they are. -
- Bottom Line
Some stars begin their careers with a lot of flash and fade out as they grow older. I fear this may be the future of this site. Then again, some child stars grow up to be big movie stars. You just never know. -
