Review date: December 2017
Back in the day Tyler, of Tyler's Room, had a great idea. He would launch a huge, inexpensive, one price site that would include tens of thousands of video streams, hundreds of exclusive original video downloads and masses of stunning digital images. The site has undergone many changes over the years and the current design presents the variety of its "content apps" in a form that's attractive and simple to access. Sadly, exclusive video, once the highlight of the site, is no longer being added.
Tour
The tour homepage includes a large, scrolling set of images featuring exclusive videos on the site. Clicking on this will bring you to the membership page.
Below this is a grid of "apps" representing all the sections of this huge site, from "Tyler's Room Originals" to "Big Dik Factory." Click on any one to open a screen grab with a description of the content and a video count. Just one content area, Tyler's Room Originals, offers explicit preview clips, which you can watch by clicking "Preview Here" in the pop-up window. The tour does give a good idea of the massive amount of porn you get for your monthly membership fee, but some of the leased content is longer updating.
Usability
The homepage consists of 60 large image links in a grid pattern; each one leads you to a "Content App," whether it's downloads for you to keep, streams from some of the best gay porn producers, digital image galleries, or many of the best known movie feeds. There are prominent text links so you can access recent content updates and most of the "apps" have categories and a search box.
On the minus side, because the content is aggregated from so many sources, the design and navigation can vary moving from one "app" to another. Be aware that each app opens in a new tab, which can get annoying. Also, it is hard to dig deep into the over 10,000 DVD titles in Tyler's Room Movie Feed because it doesn't allow you to move more than one page back at a time.
The Men and the Action
The men in the 428 site-exclusive videos are all young Americans and Europeans. Then, going beyond the exclusives, the site's huge porn collection offers every type, size, and ethnicity of model you can imagine. The pictures and scenes cover the complete spectrum of themes, settings, and action. There really is something for everyone. But Tyler definitely has a bias: in the exclusive videos, the video downloads, and the massive number of image galleries, muscular young collegiate guys age 18-27 are the most common type.
Video Details
The original exclusive videos and the streams from major studios tend to be better quality than the DVD downloads and the movie feeds, but they all load quickly and stream smoothly with a choice of qualities. Around 35% of the 428 exclusive videos can be streamed or downloaded in HD. Tyler has taken the time to carefully select all the content on the site. Given the varied production dates of the video scenes and the various sources there's a fair amount of variation in their technical quality. The more recent ones are either excellent or very good, the older ones are average, and there is a large range of shooting styles and video production techniques.
A big aspect of the value of your Tyler's Room membership lies in the 428 original, exclusive videos. These high quality videos, many of juicy, young Euro-guys and duos, average 10 minutes in length. The site had stopped releasing new original content in 2015, but started back up again in 2017, then stopped again in 2018.
See the description of all the other great content below.
The videos are available in various formats, speeds and sizes depending on when they were added and whether they are "Originals" or DVD scene "Downloads." All of them will stream in an embedded Flash player of either 640x480 or 640x360 in size.
The "Originals" are the highest quality, with the more recent 35% in true high-definition playback in Windows Media or MP4 format, playing in a large 1920x1080 window at bitrates of 3,000 to 9,000 kbps. Smaller files are also available.
The DVD scene "Downloads" are, aside from the Flash streams, in Windows Media and MP4 format, playing in either a 640x480 or 720x540 window at up to 3,000 kbps.
Screens: The site is fully mobile compatible.
Image and Other Content
There are many very high quality image galleries in "Tyler's Room Photo Sets", totaling over 1,300 digital galleries.
You'll also find high quality image galleries accompanying each of the 428 original videos. These can be viewed in a spectacular larger format or in a smaller standard size and average 130 images per gallery. There is an adjustable slideshow feature as well.
There are an additional 1800+ video downloads which are scenes from DVDs, with new ones added each week. Don't forget the Tyler's Room movie feed, which has almost 10,000 streaming DVD titles from AEBN (each with several scenes). Then add the huge number of video feeds, including many quality brands like Fratmen, Jake Cruise, Lucas Entertainment, Cocksure Men, Video Boys, and CitiBoiz.
The content is rounded out in the "Tyler's Room - Webmaster" section, which has his blog and even XXX pics and videos of the handsome young Canadian himself.
Summing Up
Tyler's Room provides countless hours of erotic fun, offering a clean, straightforward design and tons of non-exclusive porn -- all for a very reasonable price. Sadly, weekly exclusive video updates are no longer a part of the package.
