Gay Porn Site Reviews

The Hot House Backroom is a treasure trove for anyone turned on by the hypermasculine heat of this prolific studio's films. Members can watch almost 250 scenes from 60 Hot House DVDs, plus over 100 web-exclusive scenes. The site covers everything masculine: from muscle to military, Latin men to leather, and from daddies to dildoes. There's some kinky stuff too, though most of that is now housed in the separately sold Club Inferno Dungeon .

Tour

The Hot House Backroom tour is a preview of the many full-length scenes available to you as a member. Simply use the drop-down menus to select titles, models or themes, and view their brief sample clip. The video quality of these clips is exactly the same as the full-length versions inside, so you'll know exactly what's in store.

Navigation

Navigation around this attractive site is okay, though it could be simplified. There's no obvious link back to the homepage (clicking the big banner at the top of the page will do the trick.) The most recent scenes and image galleries are displayed on the homepage. To explore further, select a favorite scene, model, or theme from the drop down menus in the left column or use the handy search box. The horizontal menu items across the top of each page are all upsells (DVDs, VOD and Live Cams) except for the Hot Flash Blog.

The Men and the Action

Studio founder Steven Scarborough has a true porn pedigree. He was a friend of Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes -- and of legendary directors John Summers and Matt Sterling. In 1993, after producing and directing more than 50 films for Falcon Studios, he established Hot House. The result is a catalogue of unbridled, hardcore sucking, fucking, leather, toys, bondage, and ass-stretching that is as intense as you can imagine. Don't bother shaving for this date.

The Hot House model roster is a who's who of porn gods. More than 300 models have come to prominence as stars and exclusives in the fifteen year history of the studio, and they are all represented on Hot House Backroom. Porn fans will recognize their names: Anthony Gallo, Blue Blake, Carlos Morales, Blade Thompson, Arpad Miklos, Damon Phoenix, Dean Tucker, and many, many others.

These guys are real men. They're masculine and muscular, with some body hair, some tattoos, and lots of tight abs, big cocks, and spit -- lots of spit. There's action of every type, from heated duos and group scenes to very intense bondage sessions. There's a taste of fisting and watersports, but most of the extreme stuff is on sister site, Club Inferno Dungeon.

The scenes are shot indoors, outdoors, poolside, even in medical examining rooms and well-equipped dungeons. And oh yeah, these guys are very vocal. It must take a special grunt language to express what it feels like to have huge dildoes and cocks shoved up your willing hole.

Video Details

As with all studio sites, most of the content can be found elsewhere, on DVD or on VOD. Your membership entitles you to view almost 250 scenes, averaging 20 minutes in length, from sixty Hot House titles. But don't forget the site also offers web-exclusive video segments, of which there are over 100 so far. Plus there are four bonus Bel Ami scenes available at any one time. The site is updated with a new scene about every five days.

The production values of Hot House videos and web episodes are consistently superior: The action is always staged, lit and shot to perfectly capture the raunchy, masculine heat of these models. This is how porn should look, the careful editing ramps up the heat at the same time as the action. Are the many spectacular cumshots caught? You won't miss a one. Technical quality is as good as Flash format gets: at the default size the vids are nice and clear, but at full screen there is a noticeable loss of quality..

Image and Other Content

Hot House offers about 250 sets of video captures, one for every video. Each set has about 40 pics, but they are smallish at 555x370 pixels. There is a slideshow option.

Summing Up

Hot House Backroom is a unique chance to enjoy a trove of scenes from a premier studio, plus regular exclusive updates. Even though downloads aren't allowed, if Hot House men heat you up this site is a great choice.
