Pros: -Exclusive content with exclusive models
-Huge selection of videos
-Streamline of videos from other sites available
-Gorgeous models
-constant updates of new material
Cons: -not many photosets for those who collect
-can be high priced for a monthly site
-8TeenBoy no longer available for download or streaming
-Can be a pain to cancel (although not through ccbill)
-Cross checking of sites when odering
Bottom Line: Helix Studios are still the place to go for high quality videos and content. The young men are fantastic looking and they always update at least three times a week with new content.

The site can run a bit high ($37 a month including downloads), but you do get what you pay for here. Be sure to check if you are getting downloads if you want them as they do offer streaming only.

There are many other sites which allow streaming of some of their videos. Straxus and BoyCrush are two that immediately come to mind with several others. They do not offer download so be sure to take note of that when ordering.

The videos themselves are of high quality and consistent in great looking models. As other sites become lazy when it comes to content, Helix is among the few which still work hard to get the right boys.

8TeenBoy video has been separated from Helix for some reason. They have their own site now with their titles. I'm not sure why this is unless there is more profit in having another site. It does mean less videos available for downloading now.

The site does claim over 3000 videos with more than half downloadable. That is a huge catalog of videos for a site. Many brag about having over 100 videos, but nothing compared to Helix.

Canceling this site has been a problem in the past but now they do use other places to pay. I still put it in the cons as they can always change back to their old ways.

The Bottom line is Helix is one of the better sites out there. There is room for improvement as always, but one can't go wrong when it comes to twink/college sites.

rearadmiral (0) I have to admit that while I don't have any real interest in gay sites (nothing against them, I'm just straight) I make it a point to read all well-written reviews and that includes the ones you write.

I have a question though - it seems like a higher proportion of gay sites have Eastern European and Russian models (or maybe just non-American) than I'm used to seeing with straight porn. I'll confess that I haven't thought this through at all and that since I don't collect a lot of EE/Russian porn that may skew my perception. But is there a relatively high proportion of EE/Russian models in the gay side of the industry?

There are an abundance of Eastern European sites and models in both straight and gay porn. The boys are mostly gay for pay (they are raised openly about nudity and only consider it gay if a man dresses as a woman. Sex with a friend is okay as it is just sex.)

Many of the older sites do a lot of recycling but there is a lot of new content coming out. I think one reason is the Russian economy is not very robust so many young men and women look to porn as an income source.

So yes, about half of the new content is Russian/Eastern European. I do think it could be more, but there are sites such as Active Duty and Helix which produce a lot of new content. Even those sites do use Eastern European/Russian models every once in awhile.

Sometimes the models from Russia are downright ugly while there are some gorgeous ones who also pop up. They don't seem to care on some sites as to who they pick for their models. It's all about money, money, money!

Edit: Thank you for the kind words about my reviews. I do try my best and also read those from straight reviewers to learn a bit about that side of porn.

Thanks for replying to my message with some interesting information. I suspect that a driving factor for a lot of EE/Russian models in porn (gay and straight) is that is it probably a factor of the economies in many of those places. But then again, the same can be said in North America. If a young person with no marketable skills other than their looks wants to make some money then porn can be an option.

careylowell (0) ...when I last left Helix (2012?) 8teenBoy was part of the membership.
Thanks for the review: I had almost signed on thinking that was still
the deal.

Some of the older videos made by 8teenboy are still available. The new site is really good but it is not listed here yet so I can't review it. Wait for a deal to join as I did.

If you join Helix at a deal, they usually offer membership with 8teenboy with a deal as well. The problem is you pay a $5 preview charge for three days before being able to download anything. My membership to 8teenboy costs only $15 a month.

There is a 40% discount on 8teenboy.com right now for Valentine's Day. Definitely worth it at that price. :)

The sale is over for now. They do have sales in the future so you can join at $15 or so. I have a discounted rate because I joined when I became a member of Helix. (I renew 8teenboy but not Helix as Helix is too expensive for what they offer.)

I also had joined Helix when it was having a special. You might want to rejoin Helix when they have one of their specials as you will be able to join 8teenboy at a discount of $14.95 a month like I did.
