The gift card join option charges more than the regular pay option charges.
Videobox Men should have a blend of content for gay men to watch and for straight women to watch. If the title was Gay Videobox, I would not complain about it.
Video quality is average or below. |
| Bottom Line: |
My first experience with pay porn was Videobox. I joined it in 2011 or 2012 for 2 years. It came with a free Roku.
It was only natural for me to give Videobox Men a try. I knew it was aimed at gay men, but it also features "straight men" on their preview. After all, the site is named Videobox Men, not Gay Videobox, which I think it was once named.
I should have expected less. The site offered a 1 month membership for $12 or I could trade in a gift card. I had a $20 gift card from a store that I no longer am near. I entered it to trade it for a membership. The $20 gift card turned into 16 days access. If paying cash it is 40 cents a day. If paying with a gift card it is $1.25 a day. I had no use for the gift card so I pushed forward with the higher exchange rate.
I opened the categories and went to "straight men". This is from the first 32 scenes that showed up -- 16 had men having sex with another man and 2 of the others included men give themselves auto-fellatio. I understand there is a market for gay men to see a straight man seduced into sex with a gay men, but should it be called "straight man"? The straight men category only makes up 488 of 9,253 scenes.
I tried the "solo" category. This number is not going to be as poorly labeled as the straight man category was, but of the first 32 "solo" scenes, 7 have men having sex with each other. Solo equals one person.
I found some of straight men masturbating. Some of those looked like they were recorded before I was born. The videos had a yellow tint in the background like a vintage newspaper. The videos had skips like old film projectors had. You cannot watch a man masturbate with the screen bouncing up and down.
I did find some newer DVDs they have with names like, "Men of Erdine", "Men of Istanbul" that might be straight men masturbating. Nothing great for me -- born in India -- and not attracted to Middle Eastern men, but maybe they are adding some solo straight scenes.
I have tried to watch gay scenes. Some are okay, but it is not very realistic for a woman to fantasize that hairy man taking it up the butt is her. The solo scenes at least can let a woman feel like we are the one recording or we are masturbating along with the man.
I have a negative feeling about this site even for gay men. Most of the videos seem generic. Even if others do not see a problem with the category problem -- I think it shows a lack of attention for detail -- and would believe it is not just a problem in the categories I used in this review with those problems. I feel bad for those that subscribe mostly to gay porn. The quality does not seem to be there; neither is the care we see in straight sites.
My score includes some points for more than half of the newest solo DVDs being of what appear to be straight men. They have one called All-American Beauties. The men are believably straight, but one of them masturbates with a pumpkin and another sticks his penis in a seashell. The voyeuristic quality of watching them masturbate with odd objects is okay, but I would start laughing at both of them.
That is the other reason I feel bad for those buying gay porn. There is a lack of production quality.
I only would recommend it if you have a gift card to a store without a quality website or location within 1,000 miles of you. |
