Gay Porn Site Reviews

Review date: January 2010

Tyler's Room is a virtual department store of gay porn, and one of the most popular sites on BananaGuide. If you're a first timer who's never slapped down your credit card for porn before, the site is an excellent choice. Your membership includes a mammoth selection of original videos, many thousands of digital photos, and a treasure trove of popular video, live cam and zine plug-ins, all at a very reasonable $19.95 per month.

Not only is this attractively designed and well organized site a pleasure to visit, webmaster Tyler is handsome and his personality adds much to the site. And yes, he does get naked!

Tour

The Tyler's Room tour is centered on its very straightforward home page. For your monthly membership price, you receive all the movies, pictures and feeds depicted on this page. As you scroll down the long front page, you'll probably recognize the names of some of the content feeds. Click on any one to get a description of what it's all about. Tyler's Room Originals, Selected Photosets and Video Downloads are also described.

Navigation

The smartly designed home page consists of a series of graphic boxes that group the site's contents by the type of feed, and by the original material, photo galleries, and video downloads. The "What's New" box is right at the top of the page to help direct you to the daily updates. Clicking on any link will open a new window, so you can easily get back to the home page when you've finished with the feed. The design, look, and feel of the pages is excellent throughout the site, and navigation is smooth.

The Men and the Action

Given the nature of Tyler's Room, you'll find every type, size, and ethnicity of model you can imagine. The pictures, scenes, and clips cover the complete spectrum of themes, settings, and action. There really is something for everyone. In the original photo and video content sections, muscular young collegiate guys age 18-27 are the most common type.

Video Details

In addition to the hundreds of video scenes in the feeds, there are now almost 1130 scenes in the "Downloads" section; these are mostly from studio releases or amateur productions. You can browse the Video Downloads section by DVD box cover for easy selection. In addition, Tyler's "Originals" consists of almost 220 video episodes and digital photo galleries shot especially for the site. These 50% solo and 50% duo and group videos average 10 minutes in length, and are updated with a new video and pictures each week. It's immediately clear that the movies have been filmed with the same quality and attention to detail that you'll see everywhere on the rest of the site.

The videos are available in an array of formats, speeds and sizes depending on whether you are using a feed, the "Originals" video or the "Downloads." With the "Downloads", you can stream or download using the Windows Media Player or download in MPEG or Quicktime formats. In the "Originals" area you can stream using the embedded Flash player at lower quality. Speeds vary as well, with the fastest video playing at 2,000 kbps in a default 640x480 window, however most of the videos look good at full screen as well. Although rare, some of the "Downloads" videos can be viewed on Real Player.

In the "Originals" and "Downloads," areas, despite the variety of sources, the scenes we randomly watched were good quality. There was a gratifying absence of crappy little clips, with the download scenes averaging a good 20 minutes in length and playing on Windows Media at 1500 kbps. Just the same as for everything else on his site, Tyler has taken the time to carefully select this content. You might be interested to know: the "Video Downloads" alone add up to 300 hours of porn!

Image and Other Content

Tyler has put together a steamy collection of high quality photosets and galleries. In addition to the standard image sizes, he chooses to provide a large, high-resolution image. Though you may have to scroll to see the whole picture, the details are amazing.

There are almost 1650 solo and action photosets of attractive young men in "Tyler's Selected Sets" and 10,000 more pics in the "Custom Galleries". As well, in the "Tyler's Originals" there are almost 220 photo galleries, averaging 130 pictures each, again with big picture sizes. In simple terms there are now almost 200,000 high quality images for you to look at. Here's a run-down of the feeds available in Tyler's Room:

Video - Tyler now has almost 145 video and DVD feeds from several major sources, including AEBN and Webmaster Central, for a total of thousands of streaming video scenes of various lengths. Some feeds are samplers of other membership sites, such as Fratmen, Jake Cruise, Czech Boys and Cruiser Boys.

Live Sex & Voyeur Sites - Pretty much every live sex and voyeur feed available can be found in some corner of Tyler's Room, including proven winners like Boys Condo and College Boys Live.

Photos - there are a number of photo gallery plug-ins, such as American JO, Meat Market, Naked Male and Studvision Megapics, adding up to many thousands of pics.

The content is rounded out with interesting and explicit pictures and movies of Tyler in his blog. He's as hot as some of his models!

Summing Up

Tyler's Room provides countless hours of erotic fun, offering a clean, straightforward design, a friendly webmaster and tons of porn -- all for a very reasonable price. Veteran surfers may have seen some of the plug-in content elsewhere, but don't worry, you'll still find a whole lot of new porn to watch.
