Boys Collection's homepage is exactly what you'd expect to see based on the title I'd say. They've got dudes sucking and fucking each other in the ass, and what looks to be a preview of most of their video scenes. There's a lot blinking on the pages which was a little distracting, but overall the tour looks decent. I can't really tell much about the site from here, so it's best just to jump inside I think. They charge $30 a month for membership, which is a little on the high side for me.
The goods:
- Videos look good (especially high-def!). Their standard videos come in at a decent bitrate and look pretty good I'd say. They're definitely at least on par with most of the other newer video sites out there, so that's a good place to be. The few that come in high-definition are near-perfect of course, I only wish there was a way to find those videos easier.
- Updates come often, sort of. There's a new part to a video every couple days usually which seems good. The photos section isn't updated nearly as often, but those wouldn't be as important to me so I don't care as much.
The bads:
- More videos would help. Since this seems to be where their focus is, only offering around 47 videos right now just isn't very much to me. Considering the fact that they're non-exclusive on top of that, it's even worse I'd say.
- Non-exclusive content. It looks like all of the content here isn't exclusive, and that's not helping their cause. For a non-exclusive site to excel, they have to offer a ton of content, update just as much, and offer a great site all around. Unfortunately I don't see any of those here really, though it's not all bad news of course.
- Actual update schedule is a little slower. They just break the videos into too many updates, which slows down their overall update schedule. This seems to be a newer trend with the latest few videos, which also makes browsing them a bit more difficult.
- Navigation could be better. I just wish there were more options to find things, especially as the collection grows. A search feature would be great to find certain video types, more content from a certain model, perhaps a way to find only the HD videos, etc. On top of that, their latest videos have been broken into so many different updates that it's much harder to navigation that section now.
Conclusion:
While there are a few positives here at Boys Collection, overall I just wasn't too impressed. Sure the videos look nice, and on the surface updates come at a decent clip, but that's about the end of it. The non-exclusive nature of the site overrides everything else, and that makes their smaller collection, slower updates, and higher price just seem not as worth it if you ask me.

Not much has really changed here at Boys Collection since our last visit. They've grown of course, right about on par with what you'd expect with their schedule. The rest of the site remains much the same from what I see, including the lackluster navigation that could still use some work. It's still an okay collection, but nothing too oustanding on my end. Fixing a few of the problems would help, as would continued growth of course.
Score increased from 73.0 to 74.5.
