Hot Desert Knights has been producing bareback video productions since 1998. HDK Central is the studio's huge online collection of video scenes and image galleries, making it an oasis for those thirsting to watch bareback action.

Tour

HDK Central is actually an amalgamation of four sub-sites, each with its own tour: HDK Men, HDK Raw, HDK Fisting and Making Gay Porn. Taken together, these tours - complete with preview clips and video listings - provide a comprehensive picture of what you'll get as an HDK member. However, the cluttered graphics and multiple "click here to view site" links of HDKCentral's home page risk confusing potential subscribers about what's actually being offered. A clearer, more condensed tour would give a better picture of HDK's abundant content.

Navigation

The navigational confusions of HDK's tour are continued in its subscriber pages. On HDK Central, content is organized chronologically by release date, and can also be browsed by user rating and view count. Beyond that, indexes are sparse and the site's search function, devoid of menus or pre-programmed search terms, is of little use to those unfamiliar with HDK's catalog. A more organized, searchable site design would make it easier to enjoy HDK's 570 plus videos.

The Men and the Action

The men of Hot Desert Knights are a varied bunch, ranging from hairy, hunky daddies to slim, sexy twinkie boys. What they share are hot bodies, big dicks and a taste for sweaty, raunchy sex.

And the videos focus on that sex: you won't find much info about the models... but you will see a lot of their assholes. In most of HDK's videos, the energetic men go at it right away and keep the action at full-tilt intensity until their explosive - sometimes multiple - cumshots. Models are rated by users, so as a site member you'll be able to share your enthusiasm for HDK performers - and search out hot scenes featuring popular guys.

Scenes range from basic suck-and-fuck duos to heavier group, fetish, leather and fisting action. Even the basic action is intense, though; no vanilla here!

Video Details

HDK Central's sometimes ungainly collection of videos has one great advantage: its huge size. The site features over 570 vids, with addition scenes added 2 to 3 times a week. The video average about 20 minutes in length and are available for DRM-free download.

Most scenes on HDK Central are available to stream in Flash and download in Windows Media and mp4 formats. The Flash videos are generally about 540x360 pixels with a bitrate of 600 kbps. Most of the Windows Media videos have a bitrate of 1500 kbps and are either 640x480 or 720x480 pixels in size.

Mac note:Flash and mp4 formats are fully compatible with Macs, though the mp4s are small. The Windows Media files require a conversion program such as Flip 4 Mac.

Mobile note:mp4 files are sized for iPods and can be downloaded and synced with iTunes or streamed on an iPhone or iPod Touch.

HDK Central's videos make not be artistic, but they are solidly produced, with clear lighting, good visuals, nice sound and well-paced editing. Most importantly, all of the videos get us into the action without missing a beat: every fist, fuck and cumshot is captured.

Image and Other Content

HDK Central contains hundreds of video capture galleries as well as digital photo galleries, totalling tens of thousands of images. The galleries are a mixed bag of download options, sizes and qualities.

Additionally, HDK subscribers have access to a variety of streaming video plug-ins from companies such as Treasure Island, Cyberbears and Raging Stallion.

Summing Up

HDK Central's design, organization and search could use some clarification. But the site's large selection of DRM-free videos featuring a wide variety of guy and action types makes it great source of hot, condom-absent porn.
