Does Active Duty deliver what it promises on the outside?
Active Duty’s tag line is ‘Hot American soldiers having wild gay sex’ and this pretty much sums up the website. Active Duty is run by Dink Flamingo he obviously enjoys his work and models, this shows in his videos. Active Duty does deliver on its promises although in a limited way.
What's good about Active Duty? What needs improvement?
If very hot and mostly straight soldiers and marines are you thing then there is no better site than Active Duty, their models are exclusive and all offer personality and raw sexiness that is very hard to resist. Dink uses a stable of models rather than going for new models on each film, this of course is not uncommon in the porn world, I feel that Dink really cares about his men and they consider him a friend rather than just a porn producer. The banter between Dink and the models may not be to everybody’s taste but I really enjoy it and I think it enhances the productions because its seems to flow naturally and is not staged. Visually the site is very good and in keeping with the military theme, navigation is good and the speed of the site has no problems either. Active Duty offers six full length films, changing each week they are only offered at a streaming option with speeds of 300k the quality of which is just acceptable at full screen mode and a higher 800k which is very good quality but it didn’t run very smoothly on my computer. The other main offering on Active Duty is their live webcams which I could not participle in because of the time differences, but they do offer an archive which can be viewed at any time. The photosets offered on the site are in fact screen caps of the movies and are of very poor quality and size, I would in fact discount the photo section as being a feature of the site, this now brings me to my main bugbear of Active Duty, as you would expect Dink is very proud of his movies and he has a right to be, they are very well produced but he has based his whole website around you making a DVD purchase when you have already paid a subscription, is this fair, hardly.
In order to compete as a modern quality website Active Duty has to offer download options to its members and I would drop the photo section completely it’s just a waste of time. I like the material they have but six streaming movies a week on rotation hardly seems good value for money compared to its peers on the net.
How is Active Duty unique?
The most unique thing about Active Duty is its models, their attitude to gay sex is about the best I have ever seen, there are no shrinking violets on this site, regardless of sexuality all the models seem to really enjoy the sex and this comes across on the camera which is quite rare in the ‘gay for pay’ market, hats off to Dink for his direction. Watching the movies feel quite intimate and you could almost be there, very hot!
What do paying users recieve for their money?
As stated before Active Duty offers its six streaming films and the AD Live option and that is basically your lot, there are a few extra’s offered but these do not enhance the site. Active Duty has their product spot on but it’s their delivery that I have a problem with it. I would recommend Active Duty only if you are a hardcore military fan and are totally in love with one of Dink’s men (and who wouldn’t be!) otherwise there are many other sites on the net that offer far better value for money.

Ben Dover Boy's review

Military men are always hot to look at, whether they be in their uniforms or out, so Active Duty certainly has hit upon a nice niche for their content. The boys they present are buff and horny and apparently love to get it on with their fellow recruits. Dirk Flamingo has been producing these tawdry videos for a while now so there is a lot of content that you can enjoy. There are a number of repeat models that fill the galleries, but every now and then a new recruit appears who is absolutely gorgeous and possesses that heady mixture of shyness and eroticism that is intoxicating. Active Duty certainly delivers on its claim to provide hardcore action between the hottest military men. Read full review

Some sites put the same set of dog tags on every guy and call themselves military. Dink Flamingo's Active Duty is the real thing. Dink learned his trade from a master and has been in business for several years. This is a quality amateur site where the all American servicemen are authentic. We know that because, unfortunately, some of his models were recently drummed out of the military under the shameful don't ask, don't tell policy. A few of the guys are civilians who fit the look of the true servicemen on the site. Read full review

Activeduty.com is the military site of Dink Flamingo. Dink has been producing films since the 1990's and is like the east coast version (NC) of Dirk Yates (CA). I have been a fan of Dink's videos since pre-internet and imho he is far superior at capturing the hot moment than Dirk ever was. Dink knows how to coax, prod, flatter (even beg) and use the camera to produce some classicly legendary soldier footage. Read full review
