Review date: October 2024
No one does it better than Bel Ami. We're always impressed with the studio's brilliant camera work and its amazing models: gorgeous, hung and horny young men from the Czech Republic and neighboring lands. These handsome, fit Europeans are showcased in over 3030 exclusive hardcore and solo videos, most in excellent quality HD.
Tour
Bel Ami Online's tour allows you to watch previews of up to 10 videos. On the homepage be aware that a number of the links go right to the sign-up page rather than the preview you expect. A better tactic: click on "Sex Scenes" to choose from the most recent 120 hardcore scenes. You can't browse further back than about a year. Given the vast size of the site, it would be great to see all of the content in the site reflected in the tour.
When you go to sign up, there is a pre-checked upsell to Freshmen.net -- which is also a great site -- but if you don't want two subscriptions, uncheck it.
Usability
The homepage highlights all the most recent updates to the site, and you can browse the first thirty pages of content from here. When you want to dive deeper, choose "Sex Scenes," "Solos" or "Photos." These sections provide access to the entire catalog.
You can filter content by date, popularity, and a few categories (such as group, condom free or oral). There is a text search box too, to help you find the scenes that turn your crank. A nifty "rewind" button will take you back 10 seconds so you can conveniently watch cumshots over and over again.
The Men and the Action
Bel Ami Studios is devoted to finding the most beautiful, hung young men in Central Europe, and spares no effort in presenting them to us in colorful theme situations and in settings varying from their home studio in Prague to the beach in Cape Town. Members are treated to a unique inside look at how the models are groomed for porn stardom. We're taken inside the early auditions, photo shoots and interviews where we get a look at some of of the world's biggest dicks, along with the taut abs, cute asses, and stunning faces of these model-perfect guys.
The sex here is very hot, and not a detail is missed in either the solo scenes or the sensuous sucking, ass-licking and fucking scenes. Threesomes, four-ways and orgies appear regularly.
Despite the fact that the majority of these young stars are straight, they show none of the mechanical performance style we've come to expect from European models: they all seem to love the sex. In the Model index, 285 Bel Ami hotties are listed; each model profile contains important stats, a paragraph about him, and links to his videos and images.
Video Details
The videos are all available in high-definition and the vast majority offer excellent viewing quality, particularly in the downloads.
All the Bel Ami videos display the tremendous technical expertise of the production team: perfect light levels, combined with fluid and sensuous camera work that gives us all the long-shots, crystal clear close-ups and poses you could want. Best of all, the cum shots are caught every time.
Bel Ami offers an incredible 3030 sex and solo scenes (plus another 300 behind-the-scenes videos) to download and stream, with several new ones added per week. You won't find content dated before 2013 on the site anymore, but many of these older scenes are being "remastered" and reintroduced in upgraded HD quality.
Sex Scenes: 1804 hardcore scenes
Solos: 1224 videos, some of which are filmed during photo shoots or made for casting purposes.
Backstage: Over 330 interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and documentary footage. See these guys chatting, goofing off, comparing dick sizes and speculating about who is going to be paired up with whom.
Movies: Previews of over 400 Bel Ami movies. Click on any of the box covers and a three minute explicit montage video will start up right away.
MP4 videos stream in a resizable window, with the option to toggle to full-screen. Videos are also available for downloading. The top quality for the more recent 25% of videos in 1920x1080p HD (6000 kbps); previously to that, the top size is 1440x816 pixels (2500-3000 kbps). There is a download limit of 20 Gb per 24 hours, the equivalent of about 15 HD videos.
Screens: The site is fully responsive and works great no matter your screen size. The HD version of the videos look great when displayed on a TV screen.
Image and Other Content
In the "Photo Galleries" section you'll find more than 860 models' photo layouts, averaging 55 digital photos per set. The thumbnails open to medium sized pictures ranging in size from 800x550 to 330x500. These digital pics are of excellent quality. Some sets are available in a large format size, and some have zipfiles.
In addition, most of the videos include a set of video captures, which range from 10 to 40 images, usually 960x540 in size and good quality.
Summing Up
Bel Ami Online is unique in the gay porn world. No other site gives you so many windows into the brief, golden moments of gorgeous young men so willing to please. George Duroy's videography is outstanding and Bel Ami Online is sheer technical and erotic gay porn brilliance.
