MaleFlixxx.tv is your home for hardcore, instant, gay pay-per-view porn. Customizable to fit your tastes, member's are invited to choose between twinks, muscle men, daddies, Latinos and fetish content, but there's many more categories than that to check out here. All in all, there are a total of over 1,980+ full-length DVD's to check out but be forewarned that the pay-per-view format leaves most video feigns in the poor house. There is no fee to browse the site/DVD's but in order to view the content you must sign up and buy a package of money credits. Of course the bigger (more expensive) package you buy, the more money credits you actually get.
The packages are as follows:
1. You pay $9.99 - you get $10 bucks worth of credit
2. You pay $19.99 - you get $20 bucks worth of credit
3. You pay $29.99 - you get $33 bucks worth of credit ($3 credit bucks free)
4. You pay $39.99 - you get $50 bucks worth of credit ($10 credit bucks free)
5. You pay $69.99 - you get $100 bucks worth of credit ($30 credit bucks free)
Now if you're a big fan of gay DVD content then obviously package 5 is your best bet. In order to view a complete DVD (80+ minutes), it's going to cost you anywhere from $9-11+ bucks and to watch any one scene (20+ minutes) can cost you from $2-4+ bucks. What really sucks about this set-up is the fact that you must pay the fee all over again if you want to re-watch the same scene more than once. At the very least they could reward you with your credit purchasing by allowing you to "re-rent" your previously viewed movies and scenes for no additional cost. So you can see, this site could easily end up costing you an arm and a leg in the long run.
But, where there's a downside there's almost always a plus side as well and for this site it just happens to be the enormous collection and variety of full-length, gay themed DVD's. They've got everything here from Asians to Latinos to French guys, first-timers to muscle-bottoms, straight guys to all out orgies, thugs, sports, romance, daddies, doctors, jocks, military men, cops, cowboys and more. The site design makes it very easy to navigate the content by any of these categories as well as by studio, or star. Once you select a DVD you're interested in, all the DVD information is shown along with each of the scenes and the option for the full-length movie. Each scene shows 2 preview images, the length of the rental (usually 2 hrs for scenes and 24hrs for full DVD's) and the price to view.
Note - there is even an option for a 5 day rental for the scenes and full-length movies. This will cost you more of course, something like $4-6+ bucks per scene and about $15+ for the full-length DVD.
Once you purchase a rental, you are given your video viewing options: format (stream/download, Real/Windows Media), bitrate (56k, 112k, 256k, 512k, 768k, and 1100k) and even an option for video speed. As you can see there are quite a number of options here, which I enjoyed. The videos then play in your browser window according to the specifications that you have chosen. You can bookmark DVD's, rate them, change your settings and search the DVD's by keyword. Obviously the higher rated the DVD or scene, the more it's going to cost you. This is a highly advanced site with many great features and just a ton of great male DVD's of the gay and fetish variety. All of this comes at a very hefty price however, which might end up hurting its overall score in the end. To be very honest, I was even somewhat disappointed by the quality of the content, however. A 1100k stream just does not look quite like a 1100k stream should in my opinion, and the picture was often times choppy and or pixilated. In the end, for me, the prices here are just too high and your money is likely to go quicker than you realize, which is too bad considering they have the makings for a great gay male DVD site.

Maleflixxx.TV has been busy updating since we visited last and member's now have access to more than 1,250+ exclusive DVD's and 4,200+ total, which is an insane amount of content! The pricing structure remains the same, unfortunately, but at least you know what to expect. I don't think much has changed in design or user options, and the amount of browse features remains plentiful. I'm still not a fan of the short and expensive rental times, however, and the lack of increased quality is disappointing. Overall I'd say Maleflixxx is worth a look, but pinch those pennies and really hold out for something that's going to be worth the price and make sure you change your preference options for the 1100k quality streams.
Score remains at 80.0.

Over a year later and Maleflixxx.TV continues with its frequent updates, now offering user more than 5,700+ DVD titles for your Pay Per Viewing pleasure; plenty of hot jocks, muscle men & twinks are abound! I'm pretty sure everything else is the same. The content is tops for hot gay video scenes, but the price is enough to make your stiffy go soft, especially during these hard times (it is a recession, you know!). If you're in it for a quick fix and see something that is of interest, then maybe? But I was hoping for an increase in quality since it has been quite some time and 1100k - 1500k streams no longer look as good comparatively as what else is being provided by other adult sites these days. Browse/search features could use some expansion at this point too. Its one thing to continually add new material, but it's another thing to continually improve with the times and do it well. I'm afraid this is one video site that is in all likelihood falling way behind the curve, but I hope not.
Score remains at 80.0.
