Cadinot.fr

JD Cadinot movies were some of the first I ever saw. This was back in the 1980s when the only other gay porn I could get my hands on was butch cowboy kind of stuff from the likes of William Higgins. Whereas Higgins now works out of Prague and makes dreamy twink porn, back then the only place I could find such material was via a Cadinot video. And when I say video, I mean VCR, on tape or in a movie theatre. Now, Studio Presse has saved these classics and digitalised them, making them available in this theatre on a pay-as-you-view basis. Keeping the dream alive is one thing, offering us 557 classic scenes, kept forever, is another, and this is a treasure trove of youthful erotica and hardcore that's as popular today as it was when I was a twink myself.

The tour at Cadinot.fr is exactly the same as the 'members' area' because there is no members' area. You can check out everything for free and then when you find something you want to see, you register and buy credits. This means, you can check out images from the scenes before you commit, and the only trouble there is, you're going to want to see them all. My favourite movie by the master was 'Les Garcon Pres De La Piscine', a magical tale of a lonely, smooth and hung twink throwing magic tablets into a pool from where then came more wonderfully cute, innocent and randy young lads. Full-on fucking soon ensues, but it's handled in a sensuous way. I reckon many of the performances weren't performances at all, the guys really were into each other, and that comes across in the scenes. There's one part when one twink cums inside another as he's fucking him, and that was totally erotic, as it was unscripted and natural. There are plenty of other classic titles too: 'Sacre College' (1983), 'Les Minutes Sauvages' (1984) and 'Classe De Neige' (1985), all with 18 to 24-year-old beauties in storybook, sexual adventure scenes with no holes barred.

Okay, enough reminiscing, here are the up to date details. The first thing to remember is that these are videotape to digital transfers, so the visual quality is not stunning HD. Mp4 download quality is 640 x 480, as is streaming, and full screen isn't really an option. Select the videos list from the menu or the 73 DVDs, and you will find the prices. Movies run for around 20 minutes per scene and cost an average of eight tickets per scene, some are six, others are 10, and a full-length DVD will cost 30 tickets, or in some cases $25.00. That's for downloading. Streams are cheaper, $17.00 to stream a full DVD, or between two and five tickets to stream a scene, depending on runtime and age of the movie. There's also an option to buy unlimited access to the whole collection of theatres for ˆ39.99 per month, recurring.

Movies come with some written info and linked tag words to help you filter within the theatre, and you are told the runtime too, but that's about it. There is a model index with 350 guys, but no info and these guys appear to be from all theatres in the collection. There are not many search and sort options, but the keyword search works well. And there is a Tags drop-down in the menu too.

Head to the All Theatres link and you find the rest of the Studio Presse collection where prices are similar, and where everything works in the same way. If you're hankering for more French boys, but maybe more modern ones, you will find several studios showing content. Hot Cast, Crunch Boy and French Porn are in the list, and there are German, Spanish British and other European studios too. The full list of scenes currently runs to over 17,000 according to the site, but some movies may appear on more than one site/theatre so I'd guess at around 10,000 individual scenes, maybe more. There are also 2,885 full DVDs, updates come in regularly, but not always to the Cadinot theatre, and the whole collection is fully integrated, making it easy to navigate, use and get off with.
