Island Studs

Review by Vanessa

Released Oct 9, '11 , Written Oct 4, '11

Intro

Island Studs is where you'll find some super sexy studs in incredible tropical settings. The men aren't necessarily Island-looking exotics, only the settings for the shoots. Currently there are more than 140 studs/scenes with new updates promised weekly. This is a good mix of simple nudity (working/playing) & masturbation scenes, but there is some hardcore to be found here as well. An initial membership will set you back $28.95 and then recurs at $26.95 per month thereafter.

The Pros

Original Stud Content, Great Personality.

Island Studs is the name of the site and they stick to the theme doing it well. Scenes can be listed in chronological order or by model name and each comes with videos/pics. Some scenes are broken down into parts, but in general you can expect some great scene info and an entertaining set of images to accompany the video.

Video Quality Looks Good.

Videos only offer bitrate speeds up to 1400k, but even at 848 x 480 sizing, they still look nice. There is some room for improvement, but for now things are holding up. Other videos offer 720x480 with bitrates up to 3400k but look about the same quality-wise.

Other Good Stuff:

Consistent weekly updates are the norm at this point, offering both a video and a set of images.
Price drops after the first month.

The Cons

Site Design is a Little Rough.

It takes some getting used to since its a little awkward and aesthetically displeasing, but there are the basic features here like the ability to browse by model name or date order. Some things that are missing are content categories or things like age, locations, etc. and the ability to browse by each. Overall I appreciate that you can browse the content separately while also accessing the accompanying pic or video set, but a little more professionalism in design will be needed as the site continues to grow.

Minor Negatives:

Image size could be larger. They are embedded in your browser window and quality small compared to most sites these days. A zip file would be nice to add, also.

Bottom Line

Real Island studs in work, play, and masturbation scenes.

I love the idea of this site, and even as I browsed around more and more, I started to appreciate the design which ads to the personality. However, it could still use some work. It's a little awkward in the browser window and I would love to have had more browse tools. Overall the original stud content should be appreciated by those looking to see softcore, solo, nude, and light blowjob scenes featuring Island studs in exotic settings, their work settings, or simply their natural environments. There's definite room for improvement, but I enjoyed this site for its authenticity.
