Street Life

I just had to make some comments about the tour area of this site before venturing into membership. They have really done their homo-work on how to lay out a nice looking page. They have covered just about every boy filled base here, including a link to take you to an HIV testing site. The advertising images are laid out with a professional looking classiness and I’m really looking forward to delving further into this well-hung site. This site has been up and running since 1997, so they are aware of what the members really want to see here, no wonder it’s put together with such a sweet testicular taste.

There is one issue that I ran across immediately on this site that left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. I searched EVERYWHERE for the member login link and it was no where to be found. Finally, I slipped into the “Join Here” area, and there, I found a, “If you’re already a registered member, login here,” Now why did that have to be so difficult? Ok, now issue two, why not just take me into the membership area once I type in username and password? Instead I get taken to a membership information page that has no are to opt out and go onto the website itself. It does give a list of what your subscription entitles you to, so apparently, I have to start there. NOT fond of this part of the site. It states that I have access to the archive of streaming full length Street Life street cam shows, downloadable shows for an iPod, streaming live shows at 9pm and 11pm (EST), forums, and member galleries. I guess it’s from here that we go exploring.

Well, I’ve come to the conclusion that the lay-out of this site is definitely strange. Clicking on the galleries link I was expecting to find thumbs, enlargements, the usual, but no, instead I’m taken to an area much like a forum layout where people post their own pictures. Whatever you do, do NOT venture away from this area or you’ll feel like a rat in a manly maze, there is no way back to where you were except by going through the Join In area once more. Navigation gets low marks from me for this site. These are personal photos taken by participators that enjoy having their goods exhibited on the net. Most of these dicks would make any gay male start to salivate. They give a break down of how many photos are found for this particular entry, how many times it’s been viewed and how many comments have been left. Remember, I said this is laid out like a forum. You can do enlargements, however, on the ones that I did this to, the quality was poor, but they were probably snapped by a little round-eyed camera mounted on the top of their monitor, so just enjoy what the smaller version brings to life.

If you are a person that enjoy going through the forum area to read the hot, juicy installments of what’s on a person’s mind, especially from a porn site such as Street Life, you might not want to get too excited about that opportunity here. In checking out the message board there is a list of different topics, but as for the last post that was entered for them, all you find is one word, “Never.” As for going into the archived streaming full length feature, it prompts a box to add username and password once more, which is what I did. This takes us back to a page similar to intro with the newest additions. They do let you know that 30 days after the date of original broadcast they are put into the live shows archive. These archives go back to the date of August 2000, so we have some counting to do!

63 months of archived material comes to you on this site, most of which hold one item. The most recent was under June 2006, and here we find only one entry and it’s titled TX and was put up on 6/1/06. Keep going back in the archive, because just one more previous month will bring you many more possibilities. They let you know that as a member you can download an extended MPEG-4 file optimized for playback on iPod, download a one minute QuickTime preview of this show, or an extended file as well, the same goes for Windows Media and then one last option of streaming the entire unedited street cam show for 56Kbps, 112Kbps or 384kbps connections, which requires QuickTime. The streaming is under DRM protection by the way.

For the streaming of the entire play you are also supplied with screen captures as well and in my opinion these videos are the best part of the site. I really enjoyed the download version, it was clear, didn’t lose much in the full screen viewing and the content was nice. There is a lot of solo action found here, but these Black and Latino men definitely have the goods to make an all by themselves venture hot. But whatever you do, don’t overlook the dueling dicks that you’ll find in many of these as well, the gay action is hot, intense and enough to make you want to think twice about lusting after pussy. These look as though they’ve been filmed professionally on this site, and I was impressed by the quality.
