Bareback Beginners

Freetour offers: The name Bareback Beginners suggests that these guys are ass fucking without a condom for the first time, but I'm not sure that's the case. It actually seems like they just chose the name because it sounded good and I can't disagree with them on that. The most recent updates are previewed on the tour and each has seven pictures (six of them very small) and a description. They also make sure to emphasize that you're getting a high definition version of each scene along with an iPod ready clip if you like your gay porn portable.

General impression: Bareback sex is seen as naughty because of the risks inherent in ass fucking. That's why so many sites make sure their models don't wear condoms during sex. That's also why Bareback Beginners is so hot looking. When I see something sexually naughty I can't help but get a little excited. I just like stuff that's a little bit different, and this certainly qualifies. Also, the prospect of a high definition version of a bareback video is too cool for words. Let's see what goodies the member's area holds.

Bravo's opinion:  Bareback Beginners episode 6 is the most popular scene at the site and so it's the first scene I'm going to check out. The list of most visited scenes is on the member's main page and can be accessed as soon as you log in. Episode six stars two hunky young men. One is a blonde and the other is a brunette and they both keep their hair trimmed short. The guys are sitting next to each other on the couch when the camera begins filming and their lips meet in a passionate kiss seconds after the director says action. They eagerly strip each other naked and before you know the blonde dude is getting blown.

I like that they don't waste any time and I like that the brunette really knows how to suck cock. He works that dick like a pro and after a few minutes it's time for him to get fucked. He bends over and grabs the back of the couch while the blonde guy lines up behind him and pushes his dick inside. They're not using a condom, which is of course the entire point of Bareback Beginners. My favorite thing about the scene is the sound of the cock entering the asshole. They use plenty of lube and you can hear the slickness of it as the stiff cock slides in and out. I also like the sounds of their flesh slapping together.

The scene ends with a cumshot as the brunette sucks the blonde guy, urging him to cum. Instead of it being a facial the jizz mostly just falls to the floor, but that's par for the course on so many gay sites. Like every other scene at Bareback Beginners this one can be viewed in pictures or on video. The pictures are high quality digital shots in a medium resolution and while they're not good enough to stand on their own they make a perfect compliment to the videos. After you've started a download head over to the images and get yourself warmed up for the cock spanking goodness of the video.

The biggest weakness of Bareback Beginners is the lack of content. There are only 14 episodes and they haven't added anything new in nearly four months so it's safe to assume that this site has gone dormant. I understand a lack of content when it comes to niche sites, but bareback sex is pretty common so it's less forgivable here. What's especially galling is that the site was updated for two months before they shut it down. It's clear that it was created as a way of getting you to join the network of content that comes with your membership. They're probably counting on you sticking around for a few months because of all the bonus content (which you might do; more on that later).

There's a favorites list if you want to keep track of a particular set that you enjoy. You can use the favorites list for the bonus content as well so it's actually pretty useful. On the tour they make a big deal of the fact that Bareback Beginners offers high definition content and each scene does indeed come with an HD video. You can also stream the clip if you'd like and they use a Flash player so it's really easy to fast forward. The iPod version is cool if you like porn on the go, although I can't imagine beating off to a screen that small. The other two videos are mid-level in terms of resolution and should only be downloaded if you don't want to wait the extra time for the HD clip. If you've got a fast connection and a little patience it's worth it.

Of the fourteen scenes at Bareback Beginners five of them are threesomes and the rest are guy-guy twosomes. Each type of scene follows the same basic path, which is both nice and a little disconcerting. If there are more content I imagine people would get pretty bored with it, especially when you consider that many of the actors appear in multiple scenes. The threesomes all begin with a guy sitting on the couch and two dudes kneeling next to him feeding him cock. After the oral his asshole is penetrated by one dude while he continues to suck dick. Eventually both guys get to ride his hole and then they jerk off onto him. The twosomes follow the same path of the most popular update as described above.

The bonus content is a big deal at Bareback Beginners, and as we discussed the site was essentially designed to rope you into the network so you can be impressed by all the goodies. First there are the downloadable DVD scenes. There are 663 of those and each is a full length pleasure cruise through gay waters. You can also enjoy 860 photo galleries and 650 screen capture galleries. They've divided those into ethnic categories, but otherwise it's up to you to differentiate between the hardcore and the softcore. There are also 22 gay bonus sites, although many are leased feeds that leave something to be desired.
