Bad Puppy has been the hot spot for gay hotties, twinks, jocks, hunks, and amateurs for over ten years. Their naughty butt-sniffing dog logo is easily recognized on this mega-site of all things male. The site boasts some impressive figures, having been online for a decade, along with the impressive figures of some studly young men. Many of their models are exclusive to their site and just glancing at them in the tour is sure to make you want more.
The Goods -
They've got a massive collection of content. There are currently 1,287 models, each with at least a hundred photos. That's over 120,000 pictures in addition to around 7,500 video clips. Much of it is original, though I'm not sure 100% of it is. Aside from their own content, they provide access to dozens of other gay sites and feed sites, along with live sex sites and ezines. Then there are the webcams and stories. It will take you a long, long time to make it through their entire collection.
Updates come several times a week. Almost every single day a new model is added. They're very consistant with their updates and you can count on this huge site continuing to grow quickly.
The site has a nice sense of community. You can really get to know your fellow members. To begin with, there's a forum that is pretty active with members chatting about the site and life in general. There's a section of member profiles where you can view how long someone has been a member and when and how often they post. Users can rate and leave comments on the models, as well, letting you in on what others are thinking about your favorite Bad Puppy.
The Bads -
The design needs work. It's very plain to look at with just white text on a blue background. There are few graphics and nothing to make the design interesting. It's clean enough to navigate, even if the setup isn't entirely intuitive, but overall the whole package could use an update.
Some of the older content doesn't look as good. Jump back to their sets from 1996 and you'll see what I mean. The pictures are tiny at 283x413 and not nearly as sharp. There's not much that can be done about that; obviously technology has come a long way in ten years and I'd rather have some small images than no images, but do keep in mind that not all 120,000 pictures look good.
I'd love to have more information about the models and the scenes. They don't provide a bio or any facts about the models other than their name. The scenes don't have any descriptions which are especially useful for videos. Information like this is helpful and entertaining.
Conclusion -
There's a reason Bad Puppy has been a number one gay site for ten years now. They provide good looking content of good looking guys consistantly and in quality galleries and videos. That's a winning combination. The price of $25 is very fair for all that they offer. The layout of the site could be updated to include a more current design and features but what they have now is certainly functional. All in all it's a nicely put together operation, one that's definitely worth a look for our gay-lovin readers.
