Male Digital Review

Male Digital is a fairly large video download site that boasts exclusive movies from more than a dozen studios that produce gay porn titles. The exclusivity aspect is certainly a draw and the studios, or distributors providing the content appear to be a mixed bag of American and European companies.

There are certainly enough preview thumbnails on the members' page to titillate, especially since the guys look hot and there appear to be a good range of men from twinks to bears, and a variety for action from solo to group, indoor and outdoor and vanilla to BDSM. There are two things I notice right away upon logging into MaleDigital, at least aside from the above. First, there is a countdown timer to the next live show and excitingly, if you're into this sort of thing, live shows are daily.

Second, the 15 studios are listed in a column of the left-hand side of the page. This is a way to sort the content and you can click any one of the names to turn up the complete collection of videos from that studio. Some of the studios are Barrack X 69, which initially seems to focus on a lot of military school scenarios or themes surrounding men in uniforms. Eagle Video presents a selection of muscular wrestlers and some first-timer experiences. East Time offers plenty of twinks in solo and bareback, Raw Rooster delivers ebony hunks and multi-racial gangbangs and some other studios include Scandalistic Pictures, US Male, White Water Productions, Body Shoppe Extreme, Toro Studio and Luis Blava Collection. In addition, members get access to three bonuse sites: ViscontiTriplets, BiSexDigital and Scary Fuckers.

Aside from navigating by studio or by date, there is a long list of themes including just about anything you can think of really. There is bareback and creampie, there is leather and masturbation, softcore and hardcore, bukkake, fisting and some fetish themed categories. You can also sort the videos by most viewed. In total, there are 448 DVD titles and this amounts to 2048 full-length video scenes. It isn't a shabby amount, that's for sure and with updates coming every other day it doesn't look as if you will ever be left without.

It looks like this is pretty much a video-only download site, which isn't unexpected. However, there are some video captures that come with most of the episodes. There aren't any explicit scene descriptions, but you can take a look at the front cover of the DVD for any scene and if you click the cover then you will be taken to the list of all scenes from the DVD. Also, a list of key categories informs you of what to expect from each film. The running time for the average scene appears to be 25 minutes. There are low and high-quality streams and downloads include low (1120kbps, 360x240) and high (1500 - 2000kbps, 720x480) quality WMV and MP4 options. Unfortunately, the images don't always look sharp on playback. Resolution is lost somewhere along the way and many movies tend to have a grainy or slightly fuzzy appearance. They aren't bad, but with so many video download sites offering sharp HD content these days, the collection doesn't seem all that competitive quality-wise.


Final Verdict

Since Male Digital videos are from DVD sources and since at least a few of the studios supply other DVD download sites with content, I'm not exactly sure how much is exclusive and how much is not. I do like the choices of studios and the themes tend to cover a lot of exciting ground. It is an appealing site with more than enough content and constant updates. However, as hot as the selection of guys and the collection of titles, I'm not all that impressed with the overall quality of the downloads.
