Englishlads.com - Bringing the best in uncut amateur lads, with full length "tell us about your sex life" style movies, plus XL photographs.
"Uncut Amateur EnglishLads", uncut and uncensored, you're even given the exact # of images, models and videos right on the main page. This is an exclusively shot, gay site featuring young English studs and twinks in over 47,000+ images and 118+ videos. The site design is a little rough around the edges but member's will not be at a loss for specific types of content with a supped-up search engine that allows you to search by any of the following: age, eye color, hair color, height, body type, cock size, cut/uncut, pubic hair, and many more. "Recent Sets" reveal that updates take place every 2-3 days with either image galleries or videos. Although the price of admission is somewhat high at $29.95, rebilling at $25.95 per month, I think fans of exclusive gay content featuring acts of hardcore and softcore sex, will enjoy this site and all that it has to offer.
The 145+ models here can be viewed in alphabetical order by name and you'll find a large variety of young studs and twinks to choose from. Models are also ranked by members' favorites and each comes with a bio along with his collection of images and videos. The images themselves are very nice quality with great and skillful shots but they are typically no larger than 450x600 pixels. That is, of course, unless you choose to view the larger pictures, which are then 750x1000 pixels in size - very nice! Before I mentioned the search feature and how cool it is. Well I take it back; okay not really. There is just no way to search by content type: sex, blowjob, masturbation, etc. What you'll typically find here, though, are things like masturbation, ass fingering, and plenty of close-ups but not a whole lot of hardcore for the images.
If you want to see some real action then you'll want to advert your attention to the videos. Videos are also listed under the models and favorite's section but on their own I'm nor really sure how they've decided to list them, randomly it looks though. This is where you'll find things like boy-boy touching and the sort while you get to know these boys on a more personal level. For some boys this is their first time being touched by another man, whether it simply is rubbing body oil on them or full-blown hand jobs and ass fingering this is not a site just full of twinks but more of guys with an open mind. I have to admit, I was quite intrigued. The videos play as QuickTime files and can be played in parts (10 minutes each) or in full. I would have liked to have seen some better quality videos, but all in all they're about average. Out of all of them I think that Tyler Brook was my favorite too (he's #1 on the site), claiming that he's fantasized about gay sex but has never done it.
I'd say that the norm of the content here is more solo masturbation, although there are some good boy-boy fuck and suck scenes listed in the video section including smoking during sex, shaving, dildos, toys and more. In the end I would love to see these videos in higher quality. They are such a source of great content for all lovers of gay porn and there are a lot of them! The images are slightly more on the tame side but the lager sizes are nice and large, great quality. Updates are consistent and the site design is A-OK, although it would be made better by the use of content categories which can also be a part of the search feature. I'm still not liking the $29.95 join fee but the $25.95 monthly fee feels a little bit more reasonable. A newsletter accompanies a lot of the content here including background notes and outtake photographs, which is a nice addition to the site.

Review: 09-09-06 |
Wowza - things are really moving along here! EnglishLads.com now offers more than 73,000+ images and 194+ videos. I don't think there's been any changes to the design, so I still think they could take some steps towards cleaning it up a little bit but I was really loving using the search feature this time around. Video quality is looking pretty good, better than I remember, and they stream widescreen using QuickTime. It looks like I'll be bumping my score up a bit this time around and it was a pleasure to be back.
Score increased from 81.1 to 82.5.
