Review date: February 2020
Staxus must be Czech for "cute Euroboys fucking bareback," because it has more than 2400 videos of just that for members. Video quality is from good to excellent, and navigation, search, and cross links are plentiful, making this Prague-based offering a worthy competitor to the mighty Bel Ami and William Higgins studios.
Tour
The tour gives you a glimpse of the full site's content, and you can preview up to ten scenes. You can also browse through the extensive model inventory. Watch out for up-sells in the menu bar, though.
When you go to sign up, there is a pre-checked authorization to use your email address, which you can uncheck.
Usability
Staxus has a great responsive design, so it looks good on whatever sized screen you are using, and the site packs in lots of images and text without overcrowding the page. Getting around is quite easy; each video and image gallery has category and model tags assigned, and there is an advanced search feature. You can also sort the videos by "most popular" and "name/title" or leave them in the default "most recent" order. There's also a large list of category tags on the right side of the page, letting you find the perfect scene.
One quirk: you can only page through the video inventory one page at a time, or by jumping forward ten pages at a time.
The Men and the Action
The young models are screened to fit the type, and that means smooth, young European and British guys between the ages of 18-26. The great majority of videos are hardcore, and all the recent ones are bareback.
Action includes everything from conventional sucking and fucking to toys, double penetration, watersports, facials, cum-eating, and ass to mouth. A hallmark of Staxus is the careful attention to rimming, with many beautiful pink holes getting tongue worshipped.
There's a full set of stats for each model, and each video and image episode is accompanied by a detailed text description.
Video Details
The Staxus videos are very professionally made. They are well lit, with lots of medium and closeup shots, and a range of camera angles and poses. The 1080p HD videos (about 40% of the total) have excellent viewing quality. Working back through the catalog, the top quality is labelled 720p HD and many of these are great quality, but the oldest 1/3 of the videos aren't really HD and are of average quality.
There are more than 2400 scenes available to members, which makes the site pretty huge by any standard. It is updated on average every three days, but some of these updates are older videos that have been remastered (they are listed as such). The average running time is a little over 20 minutes.
The MP4 videos will stream in a resizable player in two qualities; default size for most is 1070x570 pixels.
About 40% of downloads (added since July, 2013) are offered in 1920x1080p HD (6000 kbps). Videos before then (as well as remastered classics) are labelled with a top quality of "720p HD"; most are 1280x720p HD (4000 kbps), but many of the older 1/3 are actually standard definition (640x480 pixels; 2500 kbps).
Screens: The responsive design allows you to use the site with whatever size screen or device you choose. The best quality videos are suitable for watching on TV-sized screens.
Image and Other Content
Each of the videos is accompanied by a video capture image gallery, for a total of over 45,000 images The video captures are of medium size and quality.
Summing Up
Staxus offers fans of well-built twink and collegiate guys a huge number of good to excellent quality hardcore videos starring young Euro and Brit boys in many scenarios from vanilla to kink. The frequent updates and sleek design are two more reasons to join this great site.
