Does 18 and Up Studs deliver what it promises on the outside?
The opening page claims amateur videos of straight, bi and gay guys getting off on camera for the first time. There are lots of sites with similar claims, but this site shows some promise.
The preview is limited to one video trailer and a dozen photos of several models. While not generous, it is an accurate representation of what is inside.
The home page is simple with four options in navigating content. The site is updated twice weekly.
What's good about 18 and Up Studs? What needs improvement?
It is definitely amateur with average lighting, a limited number of sets and no background soundtrack. All of the content looks as if it is produced by the same team of people. The title says 18 and up. The up is apparently refers to mid twenties.
A majority of the content is solos with the boys giving their name and home town and immediately getting down to business. I enjoy a little more in the way of an introduction. I know first timers must be nervous enough as it is without being on guard against revealing personal information, but for my tastes it does make the scenes hotter to know a little about them, even if it is fictitious.
Any hometowns mentioned are all in the Midwest, perhaps the home of this site. 18 and Up Studs claims to have straight, bi and gay guys. The boys don't identify their sexuality so the claim can't be verified.
For the scenes with boys getting it on, I found the sex here to be refreshingly natural. We real guys don't fuck like they do in porn. The boys appear to be screwing without playing to the camera or counting the number of in and outs before moving to the next position. The scenes are sometimes awkward - just as in real life.
Videos stream in Windows Media Player, available in three speeds with three progressively larger viewing screens, depending on your connection. Only the broadband speed was good enough for full screen viewing. Videos cannot be saved to your hard drive. The preview states that the movies can be paused and scanned forward and back like a DVD. Those functions do work, but only after the stream has completely downloaded, which can take up to a third of the entire playing time of the video.
Photo sets are taken from the video content and cannot be downloaded as a set. There is a slide show feature.
How is 18 and Up Studs unique?
While the amateur concept is far from unique, all of the content is exclusive.
What do paying users recieve for their money?
18 and Up Studs is off to a good start. It is relatively new and hasn't reached its first anniversary. There is no bonus content or reciprocal links. One month would be enough to see everything presently here, but it is updated twice weekly so will grow quickly. I look forward to checking in again in a few months.

18 and Up Studs promises to deliver fresh younger male models in solo and duo scenes updated twice a week. They say they have streaming videos and video captures of all their models. The models are all first timers and come from a variety of sexual histories. From what I found once inside the members area, it all seems to be true. Read full review

According to 18+Up, the site "features exclusive str8/bi/gay 18-25 year old studs getting off on camera. Almost all of our models are first timers and the guy next door types." I found it similar to str8boysjerkoff. Kinda lukewarm with an occasional hottie... Read full review
