Does Hot House Backroom deliver what it promises on the outside?
As the name suggests, this site promises all the Hot House videos you can handle, and then some. All your favorite titles, along with some bonus scenes only available online. And that is just what you get as a member.What's good about Hot House Backroom? What needs improvement?
The website is very well done. It looks very professional, with clean pages, and is easy to navigate. There are multiple sections available. There is the Backroom, the Dungeon (hardcore content), On Demand, the Superstore, a toy and gear store, and a blog. Both the Backroom and the Dungeon have a few different ways of searching for content that you want. You can look by title, performer, theme, or exclusive content by month. This is a nice feature, and works well if you know what it is you want. If you don't know what you want, you kind of just have to randomly select things until you find something you like. There is no page that just has updates in a chronological order.The videos and pictures are good quality for the most part. I did find a few videos that were in poorer condition than the others. The sad thing about this site is that you are required to use an internal player for both videos and photos. You also are not allowed to download any videos from the site. This is a deal-breaker for me. If I am paying money for a site, I want the content for later viewing. Watermark the hell out of it if you need to, but let me have it. There was one tricky thing about playing the videos. I found that if you did not click in just the right spot on the icon for the file, then you got a popup window that just sat there doing nothing. I also ran into some issues later in the week where the video would load, and the intro would play, but then it wouldn't play the video. I don't know if the site was undergoing maintenance or not at the time.
Members receive a couple of extra perks as well. You receive 50% off in the Superstore, as well as access to a bonus site. The one advertised right now is Bel Ami Online; I am not sure if that is always the site, or if it rotates over time.
How is Hot House Backroom unique?
All content is original to Hot House. Most of the content can be found on their DVD's, but there are a number of scenes available only on this site.What do paying users recieve for their money?
Members receive access to all videos and pictures in both the Backroom and the Dungeon, as well as access to the Superstore, Toy and Gear store, Blog, and On Demand features. A guest pass to Bel Ami Online is also available. Members get 50% off in the SUperstore also. All-in-all, this is a good site, with good content. The main sticking point for me is the lack of downloadable content. I would have a hard time justifying paying for a site without that ability, especially with such a high price tag. However, if you do not have the same problem, then you will have a great time inside!Other GayGeek reviews of Hot House Backroom

Hot House has been around for years, and has built up a great reputation. So this is not one of those sites which makes overblown claims. It's prepared to live by its reputation, and it's a good decision. You won't be disappointed. Read full review

Hot House Backroom promises the following:
- Scenes from its videos
- Exclusive Hot House Backroom scenes
- Bonus content from Bel Ami
- Action and model galleries
The website does deliver on what it promises to varying degrees. There are many scenes from Hot House films, as well as exclusive scenes. The bonus content is also plentiful. As for the galleries, there are many model galleries but few action galleries. Read full review
