Review date: August 2009

You've gotta love the Brits! They adore a snog and a shag, and no gay culture in the world -- except Berliners -- is so cheerfully and enthusiastically kinky. With Marcello (pronounced "Mar-Chello") predominantly features the self-proclaimed British Italian Stallion, who films -- and usually stars in -- a long list of kinky activities. Marcello is a big buff guy with a meaty uncut cock, and proves to be one horny dude whose delight in what he does catches on and results in good performances from his entire cast of characters.

You will see a lot of Marcello, but he is pretty easy on the eyes and has a great body. In future the site will need more newcomers in order to avoid overexposing this naughty fetishist. The videos look good, there's no DRM and the material is unique: where else are you gonna see a big butch man all naked but for a pair of red silk stockings?

Tour

The tour is not a mirror of the site, but a generally accurate preview of the contents. On page one, each of the site’s sections – Hardcore, Interviews, Solo and, of course, Marcello – is represented by a few small images and a brief video trailer. The second page lists recent site updates. Only a couple of the update notices are accompanied by clips, and neither they nor the category overviews include many images. In fact, the only large images available to tour-goers are on Marcello’s biography page. Mostly you'll want to check out the five trailers that average a minute in length to see if this unabashed fellow and his various fetishes are up your alley.

Navigation

The site's content is listed by under seven simple, clearly designated category headings (Marcello, Hardcore, Solo Hunks, etc.), making general browsing of the site relatively easy. Each scene is illustrated with a photo-montage and described in brief, and sometimes eccentric, first-person texts (“The idea of you watching me turns me on so much, you can see precum on my cock, throbbing with pleasure...”).

Surfers interested in finer searches – those who want to find every sock-and-garter scene, for example – will find themselves frustrated. There's no search engine, and beyond its basic categories the only other content organization is by scene release date. More concrete scene descriptions, and greater ability to search, would make it easier for viewers to be With Marcello in just the way they fancy.

The Men and the Action

Among the many fetishes you'll find on With Marcello are suit sex, foot worship, cumming on feet, silky socks with garters, bondage, leather, cigars, military and police uniforms, facials and master/slave pairings.

Marcello really is the main porn model on the site with 150 of the 180 videos being Marcello solos -- but he does share his stage with some other notable hunks. For example, several scenes and an interview clip feature hot dad-next-door Steve Hooper, voted best male performer at the 2004 British Adult Film Industry Awards. Other worthies include the mysteriously named black stud Sensi, the punkish and besuited Marco and fine-featured master Marcus.

Fifteen Interview clips in which Marcello quizzes the performers allow us to get to know more about the models than their cock sizes – although in at least one case that's the topic of conversation. Even if they're not always the most stimulating conversationalists, all of Marcellos' guests boast nice cocks, hot beefy bodies and a sharp Euro style.

Video Details

With Marcello offers about 180 exclusive videos with at least one new title added weekly. The videos average approximately 20 minutes in length, and since they’re not DRM protected, you’ll get to enjoy the scenes many time over after download.

Video is available as streaming or downloadable Windows Media movies. The most recent videos play at only 575 kbps in a 640x480 window, but older videos are smaller (though some of these actually have a higher bitrate). Some viewers – those using older Macs, for instance – might prefer their video files in a non-Windows format, and a lack of variety in this area does indicate the site’s technical limitations. Newer releases are available for download as both full-length videos and shorter clips; older scenes must be downloaded in their entirety. The site would definitely benefit from more file formats and sizes, and a selection of stream / download speed options.


The videos are carefully – but not artfully – crafted. The videos capture enthusiastic actors in intricately orchestrated fetish scenes, but their quality doesn’t always match the performers’ intensity. Although evenly lit and capably shot, the videos seldom use more than one camera and rarely offer a well-paced mixture of medium and close-up shots. Cum shots are caught, but only from a single angle – and they’re seldom replayed or slowed down for viewers to savor.

Image and Other Content

In addition to its large video catalog, With Marcello hosts hundreds of photosets – most depicting the same couplings and solos seen in the site’s videos. At 533 x 800 pixels, the pictures are large and detailed enough to be satisfying on their own, and not just as guides to the videos’ content. Images are also available for download as zip files.

Summing Up

With Marcello could use some technical improvements, but its catalog of business-suited, sock-loving Euro hunks in hot action and solo scenes – most featuring Marcello himself – is sure to satisfy fetishists and those looking for a site with personal flair.
