BoyFun Collection is a young gay megasite if ever there was one. The tour advertises a massive member's area full of just about every niche a boy lover would want, amateurs, teens, athletes, ethnics, outdoors, and action. The tour is very simple, they really let the content speak for itself with page after page of preview images. Browsing the model list is a good way to get a feel for what you'll find inside, nothing but boys having fun.
This huge site contains over 2,800 galleries for a total of over 200,000 photos. Every other day, four new galleries or videos are added so there's always something new to see. You can browse the galleries chronologically in their two main sections, hardcore and softcore, or you can browse the model index alphabetically. There is a search box but you can only search by name so it's not very helpful. Although they do separate the action from the soft scenes, I really think more organization is needed on a site this large. Categories are really a must. The site is clean and easy to browse but it could be a tad more user-friendly.
I doubted that such a large collection could be built of exclusive content but image after image is watermarked as such so I've got to believe it. Having this much exclusive material is very impressive. I was also impressed by the quality of the content. The photos are nice sized at 682x1024 and quite sharp. The caveat is that the older content doesn't look nearly as good and it seems they only made the move to exclusive content in 2003 so all the content from 1998 until then is licensed. They state that all of their photos are taken by professional photographers but the scenes still feel very homespun. I think amateur fans will enjoy that the content has a casual feel while maintaining good quality.
You'll also find over 500 videos available. Much the same of what I said about the photo galleries holds true here. The section is weak in browsability and options with no categories or search features and no choice for video except wmv segments. That said, the wmvs play at over 1000k and look damn good. Full-screen is not a problem for these flicks. I feel like I'm repeating myself but, again, this is good quality amateur content.
I definitely think BoyFun has a great appeal to fans of young gay hotties. Whether you're a fan of solo posing, jacking, or boy-on-boy action, there's a whole lot of all of it in this large collection. The only complaint I have is that the site is lacking in user features. Everything else is excellent. $30 a month isn't cheap but considering all that BoyFun Collection has to offer, I'd say it's money well spent.

A year later and BF Collection is bigger than ever. They've continued with their large, every other day updates putting together one of the largest collections of original gay content that we've come across. Looking at the site, it looks like they have improved the navigation somewhat. They've added categories to the softcore section of the site so you can now jump directly to amateurs, athletes, ethnics, outdoors, and teens. That's a big step in the right direction and I only hope they continue that into the hardcore and movie sections of the site eventually. This is really a solid and entertaining collection. However, the one thing they could do to help the most is increase user features.
Score increased from 82.2 to 82.5.
