Review date: November 2022
Pride Studios' first site was Circle Jerk Boys, and it soon evolved into a quirky collection encompassing hot young Latinos, guys with Extra Big Dicks, masculine studs and Men Over 30. Today the network has consists of a dozen "channels" (of which four update regularly). While there are over 5000 videos on the site, a fair percentage (perhaps 25%) are not porn videos, but interviews. The site has a fresh and simple design and over half of the videos are in HD -- though the oldest are in standard definition. Sadly, the free tour has been severely cut down.
Tour
While Pride Studios had always offered a
generous preview, with the ability to browse through the entire video catalog and watch a few free
clips, that changed in late 2022. Now there's very little to see, and all the links go right to the
sign up page. What's up with that?
The site makes it clear that the trial memberships is streaming only. Watch out at "Membership Activation" as there is a pre-checked trial offer to another site, which you should uncheck. Another thing: they tell you that there are over 5000 videos, but this includes a lot of non-explicit "Behind the Scenes" and "Interview" videos.
Usability
The design of Pride Studios is fresh and
straightforward, with the homepage highlighting the latest, upcoming and most popular scenes. Just
click "Videos" to get the master index of all the content; or click "Network" to choose from one of
the sites: Extra Big Dicks, Men Over 30, Dylan Lucas, Circle Jerk Boys, High Performance Men, Boyz
Party, Cock Virgins, Bearback, Family Creep or Pride Studios.
There is a limited search function for this large collection. You can sort by latest or upcoming episode, or select a specific category term or model name from a list. There is also a general search box that allows a universal site search (description text included) and some of the videos have keywords assigned to them. There is a model index, listed under "Men," and model names are cross-linked to all their videos.
The main negative: there are a lot of upsells to live sex and other pay sites (listed under "Specials," "Live Sex," and "Store.") You will also find a page of ads when you first login, before you can continue to the membership site.
The Men and the Action
Your Pride Studios membership gives you access to a large variety of man-types and backgrounds, with a good variety of collegiate, muscular studs, horse-hung hunks, smooth twinks, and masculine guys over 30. In the different episodes you'll see them in solos, duos and some groups. In many cases, the new models are interviewed before their solo performance and there are text descriptions along with all the videos.
Video Details
Viewing quality for more recent videos is excellent when you choose the top quality options. Pride Studios now offers over half of its videos in HD and delivers episodes with excellent light, and lots of poses, angles, and closeups as the camera moves fluidly around the models. The all-important cumshots are always caught, and in the HD videos, from two angles.The older videos, filmed in standard definition, are less impressive in quality, even at their highest streaming or download speed, and all the Boyz Party videos are lower than average quality.
Across the dozen channels of Pride Studios there are 5184 videos but keep in mind that a large percentage of these are not porn, but interviews. The network updates every two to three days (see below for site breakdown) and you can download and keep them as long as you want.
Men Over 30 - 1393 videos; updated twice a month.
Extra Big Dicks - 1333 videos; updated twice a month.
Family Creep - 91videos; updated once a week.
Pride Originals - 155 videos published under the Pride Studios brand; recent ones are compilation
videos.
Bearback - 25 videos, last updated in May, 2020.
Pride Cumpilations - 60 compilation videos
Dylan Lucas - 185 videos; no longer updated.
Circle Jerk Boys - 1055 videos; no longer updated.
High Performance Men - 191 videos; no longer updated.
Cock Virgins - 85 videos; no longer updated.
Boyz Party - 624 videos; non-exclusive, lower quality; no longer updated.
Bonus Content - 48 videos.
Most videos added since April, 2010 (over half the total) will download and stream in MP4 format in up to eight different qualities, the best of which are true 4K, with bitrates up to 15,000 kbps and 3840x2160.
Previous to April 2010, videos have a maximum size of around 640x480 or 720x540 pixels (though this varies a lot) with bitrates from 1300 to 2000 kbps; despite the decent bitrates, the quality of these is below average.
Screens: All of the sites are now available in a full mobile-friendly design. Videos available in high-definition look good when played back on a TV screen.
Image and Other Content
There are almost 4600 image galleries on the sites, averaging about 120 images per set, complete with a slideshow feature. The galleries feature mostly digital photos, with a few video captures thrown in.
Summing Up
Almost half of Pride Studios videos are in
excellent quality high def and all can be downloaded for a monthly price of just $15 the first
month. This kind of value for a great variety of men is well worth it!
