Gay Porn Reviews

On its first page, First Auditions warns you not to enter if the sight of straight young men forced to strip naked and ejaculate offends you. If this sounds more like an invitation than a warning, you will find First Auditions tempting, but also a bit frustrating. The site explores the fantasy of taking sexual advantage of straight guys by ordering them to strip naked and jerk off. The men arrive thinking they’re auditioning for straight porn and end up going through a thorough, intimate, and often humiliating physical examination that ends up in some pretty intense cum shots. It’s a hot concept, but the camera work in these videos is disappointing, which is unfortunate with hundreds of hot straight guys waiting to take orders and blow their loads for you.

Tour

The tour for First Auditions is enticing, but not thorough. The preview page features dressed and undressed pictures of some of the site’s best looking guys plus a downloadable video showing some of the best moments of the site. There's a detailed description of the site's method of straight-boy seduction. However, once you’re past the sexy preview, things aren’t as exciting as not all the models are as good-looking as in the tour and the videos all follow the same routine in the same setting.

Navigation

With so many models in its back catalogue, it’s hard for First Auditions to keep them straight, so to speak. Navigation is confusing and finding a specific model is often frustrating. There are model indexes but they show either thumbnails of their faces or just their names. Many times, the image used for the model’s thumbnail is not even featured on the set, making it hard to match models, names and bodies. Overall navigation throughout the site feels very choppy and the design is inconsistent.

The Men and the Action

First Auditions offers a large and varied international array of mostly uncut straight men who come to these auditions thinking they are going to get some pussy at some point, but instead find themselves in stark audition rooms, asked to strip, get on all fours, exhibit their assholes and jerk off. Most of these aspiring porn-stars take it in stride, but some are visibly uncomfortable. These are not guys that usually pose for gay sites - they don’t spend a lot of time manscaping. The quality of the models varies widely but the men are real. They’re all athletic, few are very fit, some are hairy, some not. Not knowing much more about them other than their nationality and butch occupation adds an interesting level of intrigue.

The site plays heavily with the psychological humiliation of these guys, and gets off on the control the videographer exert over their “auditions.” Even though there’s lots of talk of shaming and degrading guys on the site, the videos are rather tame and no verbal or physical abuse is featured. The guys do as they are told, sometimes begrudgingly, some of them even allowing to be fondled and dildo-fucked, but it’s more like they’re being tricked into it than forced. In the end, they are asked on camera if they feel embarrassed by what they’ve done.

With the promise of pussy and easy money, some of the guys are willing to let themselves be fondled by other guys. The site promises that these macho guys will be “touched up, manhandled and deflowered,” but all of this action happens while they’re propped up in a gynaecological chair with groping, disembodied hands touching them, fucking them with dildos and jerking them off. Some of the guys seem visibly disturbed by the situation, yet still manage to spill huge loads.

Video Details

There are about 700 15-minute videos available. These are usually divided into 3 or 4 clips documenting the interview, physical examination and masturbation test. The site updates about twice a week. There is no DRM, so you can keep these videos as long as you like.

The vids look very good in the 640x360 default size, and almost as good when you expand them to full screen. The formal setting makes the videos somewhat repetitive as they never stray far from the same formula: cocks are inspected, heights and weights measured, sometimes a dildo is shoved up somebody’s ass, but all done in a detached way that never takes full advantage of having these studs at the mercy of the camera.

Shot like procedural videos, they are mostly voyeuristic and distant, keeping the viewer at arms-length from the action, as if one is watching from across the room. In an attempt to objectify the men, the videos become clinical and almost devoid of sex appeal. There’s no hardcore on the site, with nary a blowjob featured – these are almost exclusively solo videos. Most of their movies are shot in high definition and surprisingly, older movies are shot better than newer ones.

Sometimes the videography is borderline amateurish, with the camera being blocked by the cameraman, jerked around and often almost missing the cumshots. Watching these studs jerk off is a real treat, but even voyeurs may want to take a closer look.

Image and Other Content

The inventory of images is large, featuring more than 700 photosets with about 65 pictures per set – but you won’t be able to download them all at once since every set is broken down into different sections and no zip file option is available. The scenes, angles and types of shots are invariably the same, often overlit, far away and rarely featuring hard cocks. In older sets there are photo studies of the models, simple front-back-side shots that could be from a medical text book, except for the extreme closeups of assholes, cocks and balls.

Summing Up

The idea behind First Auditions is promising, but somehow it is not "manhandled" the right way. It’s very hot to see straight guys strip and jerk off, especially in these great looking videos, but the rather conventional videography squanders some of the possibilities. The site has a slant towards humiliation fetishists, but even voyeurs who get off on seeing straight guys do as they are told would expect a little more. But on the upside the inventory of true amateur guys is extensive, with lots to explore.
