The Review
Naked Sword is one of the largest video porn sites on the net. Featuring movies from famous production companies such as Falcon Entertainment, Titan Media and Raging Stallion Studios, to name a few, there certainly is no shortage of porn available here. The categories - or what they call "themes" - range alphebetically from Amateur to Vintage porn and provides vast amounts of versatile gay adult entertainment. The term "Naked Sword" at one time referred to bareback sex, however, not all of the content inside Naked Sword is bareback. There are plenty of condom-wearing scenarios for bareback opposers to enjoy.

Being that Naked Sword is a pay per view site, registration itself is free. Once you have checked out whether or not you'd like to buy a full membership, you can do so from your main account. The members area inside Naked Sword is exactly the same as the tour aside from a few different menu options. Underneath the main menu which runs at the top of the page, the most recent featured movies rotate in a flash animated preview.

By clicking on any of the previews you will be taken to each individual movie page and all information pertaining to it. Further down we have more featured movies in another rotating flash banner with free previews of each one. More of the top production companies show off their most recent video features further down the page. Beside these expected banners of the companies showing off their movies, there are no advertisements for outside sites or products in the main area of Naked Sword.

More than 2000 videos from 99 production companies are at your leisure once you've purchased a full Membership with Naked Sword. The main menu at the top of each page reads as: Featured Movies, New Movies, Most Watched, Studio and Themes. On each page there is a left and right scrolling flash feature showing off each producer's catalogue of movies. You can click on any one of the DVD boxes inside the feature and an embedded flash preview will open up at a resolution of 320x240. Links underneath the previews will take you back, or you can proceed to the full video.

Members of Naked Sword may either stream or download the videos. Streams are in either wmv or Real Media formats. 3 bitrates are available at 56kbps, 350 kbps and 750kbps. The screen resolution is 360x240. The video downloads are all at a bitrate of 1500kbps and screen resolutions of 720x480. DRM is in place for these movies though. Once you enter your login information, they are great high quality videos. Members may either watch the full production or view them in clips, or what Naked Sword calls "scenes".

To the right of each preview video there are movie stills at a resolution of 350x233px, but scaled to 320x240px in order to fit the flash player they're shown in. You cannot save each individual image and there are no zip files available for download.

The models at Naked Sword vary in every way possible. From leather studs to cowboys, to twinks to jocks and hunks. They're all here. Remember, we are talking about a pay per view site with every known concept of gay porn available. Everything for everyone. After browsing around for a good length of time and watching some 10 different videos in different categories inside Naked Sword, I would say there is action here to please everyone. I was able to observe some bondage and discipline, bareback sling play, condom wearing hunks fucking their brains out, as well as mutual blowjob scenes. Plenty of versatile action is available.

There are now a good amount of pay per view sites on the internet these days. Naked Sword would be considered one of the largest for gay porn. With over 1000 features to view, the choices when it comes to categories, kinks and fetishes is second to no one. However, I found the quality of the streaming videos not the greatest and the fact that DRM is in place for the downloadable ones is inconvenient. The lack of large, downloadable movie stills is also a downfall. For those who don't care about logging in again or prefer video over photography though, the massive supply of good gay porn inside Naked Sword is impressive indeed.

There are a good amount of bonuses with your membership to Naked Sword. Naked Sword Live provides live webcam shows on a regular basis. There is also a personals site and more full features from less known, but just as large, production companies. A consistently updated blog provides relevant information for those interested in staying in the loop, and wallpapers for your desktop are available for download. Looking at all of this, members certainly get their money's worth with this huge site.
