BG Review

The muscled young guys who show up at Jake Cruise know they'll be treated to one of Jake's specialized "massages". All they have to do is relax, and Jake, a friendly forty-something guy next door, takes care of the rest. Over time, some of the guys on the site have "experimented" with each other in some hot duo and group action. As of today, Jake has rubbed, tugged, and soothed aching muscles - and love muscles, in almost 300 high quality episodes. There is occassional bareback sex on this site.

Tour

The Jake Cruise tour leaves something to be desired. It does tell you the number of exclusive videos available and provides one small thumbnail photo of each model. You also get nine 30-second preview clips which give you a good idea of what to expect inside. But why not provide a mirror of the site's content with more and larger sample photos and text descriptions of the action? It can't hurt.

Navigation

The episode index of over 280 videos starts on page one of the members area. There are 10 large graphic boxes per page. Each episode has a title and a brief description. Click on the image and you'll go to a page where you can choose the video or the photos. Click on "The Movie" and a page will open that offers the movie full length, or in clips, at various speeds and on a choice of players. There is also an alphabetical and a chronological search function.

Content

Most videos start off with some conversation between Jake and his "new friend." There is always some foreplay, perhaps a strip show or a massage. Then the action gets heavier as Jake jerks off, rims or fucks his buddy. All the action is very natural and there is room for some humor. A few of the guys are "straight" but, of course, willing to experiment (Kyle is a must-see). Some of the guys are totally straight and aren't into sex with Jake, so they jack off for the camera.

At review time, there were almost 280 videos inside Jake Cruise ; over three quarters are accompanied by photos. The videos range from twenty to thirty-five minutes in length and can be viewed full-length or by titled segments. The site updates weekly.

Jake Cruise videos stream(pd) or download in Quicktime or Windows Media formats in two speeds. The highest speed is 475 kbps which plays in an average-sized 320x240 window. There is no DRM on the videos.

The videos are good quality. Although the lighting is not always all it could be, they catch the closeups, medium and full-body shots extremely well most of the time. Some of the videos feature sound tracks and slow-motion repeats of the cum shots: things you don't often see on amateur sites.

About three quarters of the videos on Jake Cruise are complemented by digital photos, smallish in size. The pic quality is a little below average as there is sometimes some pixelation from oversharpening visible. There are no choices of size, slideshows or zip files available.

Summing Up

Jake Cruise is a sexy, funny site that will appeal to many. This friendly salt-and-pepper daddy is skilled at putting his roster of muscular young studs at ease. No twinks here, and that's just the way Jake likes it. If you're over forty with maybe a bit of salt and pepper yourself, it won't take much to imagine yourself in Jake's spot, with one of those big cocks thrusting in and out of your ... Well, you get the drift! Despite the unsafe sex, there's lots of entertainment at good value on Jake Cruise.
