High Performance Men

The site has set out to capture the sensuality and sexuality of men who like to have sex in a natural way, and on camera. So we’re not expecting gratuitous hardcore here but something more down to earth and natural. That’s going to come across in the chemistry between the models, and already on page one, with those large sample shots from recent videos, you can see that there are some hot couples here. This is the image that first greets you when you sign in, just like it does on the tour, and beneath it are images from other recently added scenes as well. There are also shots from the latest photo collections and there are top lists plus upload dates, which means I can see that something new is added every week, which is good.

The top menu will let you change language, contact support and get straight to the content. In the videos area I found 101 scenes dating back to the start of the site six months ago. Each was shown with a choice of streaming speeds from a low one up to 1080p, full HD, there were actually five to choose from. Downloads were available in WMV at two sizes and MP4 in five, again from a low to a full HD, so you have plenty of choice for viewing. The video screen also comes with linked tag words, you can go full screen, there is a description of the scene, and you can jump through the action as well. Scenes ran for between 15 and 25 minutes.

The quality was just fine here folks, no worries on that score. The filming was good, the image and sound clear and sharp and the camera work is such that you get to see everything you’re going to want to see, close ups and distance shots. And yes, in the hardcore scenes, the chemistry does work and you get some very natural performances. There are solos too and these are your standard kind of locker room or ‘at home’ jerk off fantasies, but it is in the couplings and the action scenes where things really work well. These really are High Performance Men putting in natural and almost athletic performances. It’s kind of like seeing the racehorses of the gay porn world stretching their legs, and a bit more.

There are photo sets with each scene and these are also linked from the main viewing page per episode. Images are shown in thumbnail galleries, not huge, but good for quality with pics at 1,280 x 1,600 when at full size, but starting off at a scaled down size so they fit your screen. They take you through the action as well as offering some posed shots and the quality is fine. There is also access to the photos from the top menu where there were 101 photo sets with between nine and 40 images each.

The rest of your menu consists of the model index where I found 28 models featured. Not all have a body shot as yet but they all come with links to their appearances and some have stats and interviews, so there is a little bit of a bonus going on there, you just have to hunt around for it. Some of the guys, I have to say, do have your typical porn star kind of name: Peter Stallion is here as are Ricky Sinz and Trent Diesel, but their performances are often more original than their names.

As for other things: I do have to mention the sign up process, for when you get there. I was just checking out prices but found not only a pop-up screen on the tour when I clicked to join, but also, when I tried to come out of the join pages I kept getting one of those annoying ‘a representative would like to speak to you’ as if I’d done something wrong and needed a telling off. These things annoy me and they are present here, so watch out for them and any pre-checked cross sales there may be too. There, that’s off the chest now.

Don’t forget your five bonus sites that star the likes of Samuel O’Toole and Austin Wilde in their own sites with their own exclusives and more hard guys in hardcore action, and should you want to keep right up to date with what’s going on, then there is a blog to follow as well.
