Bad Puppy

I remember visiting Bad Puppy many years ago, not long after it started, and one of my lasting thoughts was that it was a massive collection of bits and pieces from all over the place, but it did have some of its own content. Now, things are a little more streamlined, and it's easy to find the exclusive content. Everything else is packed away under the Bonuses and Extras departments, and we’ll look at those later. First, though, what’s the driving force behind the site?

The exclusive videos, and the young guys who appear in them. These are 18 + teens and twinks who have a genuine amateur feel and look to them, so they’re not your classic buffed up pornstar, and that, I find very refreshing. They range in age from 18 to 25, in the main, but there are some older guys here, some jocks and dads, otters and bears. Mainly, though, I’d say we're staying in twink world, and we know how those horny youths like to fuck. The site lists its content under Models, and that’s not a model index, it’s a long list of content. There are currently 137 pages listing 3,288 pieces, and by ‘pieces’ I mean either photos or videos, or more often than not, videos and photos combined. There’s no way of separating out only videos, but the sample shots give you info such as runtime of movie or number of images, so you can tell at a glance what is what.

Browsing a single page of content will give you a good idea of the variety contained in this members’ area. A hunky Latino guy in a 17-minute solo, two studly 30-somethings in a bareback scene, loads of twink duos getting down to BJs and anal, a few more solos from white, average and handsome guys, a real-life couple or two, and then more smooth, hung and amateur guys in solos and duos. The videos are natural and unscripted, run for around 20 minutes each (solos are slightly shorter) and the quality is just fine. You usually have three options to stream or download in Mp4 format, a low-res one that will suit mobiles, an SD medium one around 540 x 960, and in the more recent additions, an HD one at 1,920 x 1,080. Older videos are lower resolution and come with fewer viewing choices as you’d expect, but new ones are Full HD.

Some pieces of content are a combination of photos and videos, while some are only photos. Where a video has a gallery, you will see the link, and you simply click it to find hundreds of images to see and save. Some galleries have over 200 pics, others have fewer, and I found images at 683 x 1,024 px when downloaded. It’s easy to browse the galleries online, there’s a slideshow function to watch hands-free, and up to three choices of zip files with photos sized at low, medium and high resolution. Like the videos, the quality of the videos is just fine, but the more modern they are, the higher the quality.

And on to the bonuses. In the top menu, you will see a drop-down list of Network sites. There are seven items here, but not all are actual bonuses. XXX Friends, for example, is a list of discount memberships to other sites, but Club Amateur USA is included, and you link directly into the members’ area. My Favourites is actually your favourites storage area where you can put any movies or galleries you want to come back to, and there’s also a link to the Roku channel if you have a Roku device. Then, there are links to Gay Today, an LGBT news service, and one to Community, which is the site’s forum. However, under the Bonus menu link, you find access to over 70 feed sites for a heap of non-exclusive content, links to hundreds of erotic stories to read online, and another link to ‘Studio Videos.’

You shouldn't have any trouble navigating this members’ area, it’s actually pretty simple and has rather and old-fashioned look. Viewing pages are basic, with descriptions of the videos, sample shots and links to files or photos. There are linked tag words too, which help you filter content, but there’s no model index. Members can comment on movies, and add them to your favourites collection too. It all adds up to a site that’s easy to navigate, basic but effective, and one that offers a vast amount of original gay porn.
