Boys Collection features “fresh twinks” ages 18-20 “discovering the new world of gay sex delights.” Despite the professional looking tour, they insist that all of the models are amateur boys getting in front of the camera for the first time. Once in front of the camera, the hardcore action begins. There’s plenty of blowjobs, sex, toyplay, and even threesomes for these naughty first-timers.
The Goods –
There’s a good amount to see here. There are 161 galleries for a total of around 24,000 photos and 45 videos. The videos are usually around 20 minutes long so combined with the photo section, there’s enough to keep you busy.
Updates come often. In general, a new video or photo set is added every three days. Sometimes it’s a day sooner or later, but usually you can count on a couple updates each week. New sets are posted right on the homepage so you can see exactly what’s new.
Members get access to five additional sites with their membership. All of the sites offer more gay content and a few of them even have original material. There are a couple good sized collections that really help round out the experience for members of Boys Collection.
The Bads –
All of the content here is non-exclusive. This presents a couple issues. First off, if you’ve spent much time on other amateur boy sites, you may recognize a lot of this material. Second, since they didn’t shoot it themselves, the site provides no info on the scenes or the models. You get the content but you don’t get the background information to give the site personality. Third, quality can vary. Some of the videos look nice and sharp while the galleries look very amateur.
There are no options for viewing the videos. All of the movies are wmv or DivX clips with no options for format or quality settings. The one thing they give you is a full-length version of the scene after all the clips have been added. That's something, but more options (and better clip organization) are needed.
Conclusion –
Boys Collection is doing a few things right. I appreciated the frequent updates and multi-site access and it was nice to have a straightforward browsing experience of a reasonably good sized collection. The lack of exclusive content hurts, however, and I think with that in consideration the price is a bit too high at $30 a month. I don’t think it’s quite justified by what I’m seeing. You can certainly have a good time on Boys Collection if you’re into amateur twinks, despite the room for improvement.

Review: 11-10-07 |
In the nine months since our last visit to Boys Collection, the site has grown to include 181 galleries and 62 videos, roughly 20 new of each. That's pretty consistant for their update schedule. Not much has really changed since our last visit. The hardcore action still looks nice enough but there's room for a few more user features. It's great that the site is continuing to grow, making it a fine value for those looking for hot twink pics & vids.
Score remains at 73.0.
