QSolo presents quality photos and videos of “only the sexiest and most promising stars of gay porn”. The action is all solo, which you might have picked up from the name, and includes jacking off and anal toy play. As for the Q in their name, that stands for Quality. Offering sharp and professional looking material is what makes QSolo stand out, and the hot European models help, as well.
The Goods –
Everything here is 100% exclusive and not available anywhere else. They seek out their own new models for completely fresh scenes. It is all produced in their own studio which allows them to be pretty creative, even considering the limited nature of the solo gay genre. They also invite members to help generate plots for the scenes and to select the models.
As I already mentioned, high quality content is a key component of QSolo. Both their photos and videos look very sharp and professional. Videos are offered as full-length scenes in high and medium quality wmvs and avis, and the avis have an additional option of short clips, as well. Prior to a few months ago, the avis were the winner hands down. However, new wmvs play at 1000k-2500k and look great, as well. You really can’t go wrong with either one.
The Bads –
The site isn’t very large yet. Right now there are 44 models online, each with a page of videos and photos. It’s not a tiny collection, but it still isn’t huge. The site would really benefit from some growth.
Updates come just twice a month. That’s not often enough, especially for a site that is still on the small side.
Very little information is shared about the models or the scenes. All you get are a couple of lines of general description. This surprised me because my impression from the tour was that they were showcasing up and coming models. I would expect a little more information about these guys, in that case. Particularly with original content, I would also hope for some scene info but none is provided.
Conclusion –
QSolo has a very good foundation right now with exclusive, high quality scenes of fresh models in creative, vibrant photos and videos. The site needs some growth, and obviously more frequent updates would be a good way to achieve that. I’d also like to see more personality in the text. Based on the content, I imagine these men have some interesting stories to share. It’s not cheap but $30 a month is fair for this kind of quality presentation. I definitely look forward to seeing where QSolo goes from here.

Review: 03-06-08 |
It's been about a year since our last look at Q Solo and things are holding steady. The site has grown from 44 episodes to 68. Usually I'd expect more growth than that, but since updates only come twice a month on average, that's about right. Not a whole lot else has really changed. I still enjoyed the nice looking videos and original scenes, but feel the site could do more to be more user-friendly. Q Solo is worth a look, although a few changes would make it even more so.
Score remains at 78.0.
