Review date: July 2022
English Lads stars a cast of young, muscular and fresh amateurs in high quality streaming videos and stunning quality photo sets. For those looking forward to a feast of fresh college age guys in video and image sets, English Lads absolutely delivers.
But English Lads no longer offers downloads; it's a streaming only site. And the site has tiered memberships: the first tier ($31.95 a month) allows you access to the last five years of updates (550 videos). Plus you have to be a member for 60 days before you can watch those videos in 1080p HD.
Tour
As you scroll down the tour homepage you'll find large sample images for the most recent video and photo updates, and you can watch a non-explicit teaser video for most of the scenes. You can also page through the entire video and photo index. Clicking into each scene, you will also be able to view a small sample image galleries. You can also browse the model inventory and, while there are preview images, they once again are non-explicit. No dick until you pay up!
On the join page carefully read what you get according to the tier you choose. While the first thing you see is that memberships include over 1900 videos, that simply is not the case.
Navigation
Navigation on English Lads is simple and straightforward, though sometimes you have to answer a security question to get in. The member's homepage is the first page of the master index. For each episode of solos, of hardcore action, or of digital images you'll find a large image, the date of the shoot, and links either to the image gallery or to the video options page. All the pages are cross-linked between the video, the pictures, and the model's profiles.
There is also a detailed search and sort feature, including many categories that gets you to all the different ages and types of guys. There's no "Videos" button, so to filter for just the videos go into "Search" and click "Videos" "date added". To find the most popular lads try out the "Top Lads" section.
The Men and the Action
The models range from twinks to collegiate guys, and sporty guys in trackies to muscular top-lads, all in the 18-26 age range. Along with miles of foreskin and some truly enormous wieners, you'll find dreamy solo videos, fun with toys, hot duo, three-way and group videos -- and great foot-shots. Those English accents can be boner-inducing too, whether they're from Lancashire or London.
Video Details
The viewing quality of the videos ranges from good to excellent, with a professional level of lighting, sound and composition. The camera moves fluidly around the model's body and pulls in tight on details and body parts. And these very fit and cute English Lads are great subjects for lingering close-ups.
At times the model interviews run a bit long and, in our opinion, there's too much chat with the model throughout the video. But you have the option of skipping the full-length video and watching the shorter, more edited version instead.
The site boasts 550 exclusive videos included in the first tier membership, although there are over 1400 videos if you are willing to pay a lot more. English Lads updates with a new video weekly. Most of the videos are offered as shorter versions of around 16 minutes and full length versions of up to 30 minutes
Streams are available at a top size of 1920x1080p after 60 days of membership. Streams are available at 1440x810p after 30 days of membership. The first thirty days of membership, they are available at 960x540p.
Image and Other Content
If you're into sexy photos, you'll be impressed. Every body part is lovingly photographed. But you also have to wait 60 days to get the highest resolution version.
Summing Up
English Lads fulfills the most important conditions of gay porn: hot guys in spectacular quality videos and beautiful digital pictures. The major disappointment is the move to streaming-only and the tiered access to content.
