Does Istan Boys deliver what it promises on the outside?

From the sultry mysteries of the Middle East through to the shores of the Persian Gulf, Arabian men have always fascinated us in the States and most everywhere else because of their innate sexual appeal, swarthy good looks, and downright erotic charge. Istan Boys brings you the Middle Eastern equivalent of twinks and some muscled, more mature guys thrown in as well. The opening pages of Istan Boys are slick and well-designed, promising loads of content, both video and picture, of the loveliest boys from the sands of Persia and the oases of Turkey. I will say that is true, in part. Being a bit of a persnickety reviewer, I'll point out what I liked and what I thought could use a bit of improvement.

What's good about Istan Boys? What needs improvement?

First off, Istan Boys does indeed have quite a sizable collection of models with individual picture sets and some with videos. The pictures are of a nice resolution and feature the models stripping out of their clothes, showing off their toned, exotic bodies, and then jacking off. There are also some action sets as well. The videos feature the same type of content and it's pretty darn hot, I must admit.

Okay, here is what I don't like about Istan Boys. The navigational layout and general organization of the content is not really efficient. Through a series of drop-down menus at the top of the screen, you can choose to see Istan Boys content, which basically lists all the models' photo sets, as well as the content providers that are available along with your membership. The video content specific to Istan Boys is listed here too, but only designated by its playback type. In other words, you can see the names of the videos and the model(s) featured in the video, but there are no thumbnails with the videos and they aren't linked back to the performer, meaning that unless you have an uncanny ability to remember model names, you won't have an idea really of who it is you're going to be watching until you stream the video or download it.

As far as I can tell, there are about 30 or so videos in WMV, RM, Quicktime, and MPG format, which means that a large number of the models don't have video content featuring them.

Similarly, with the photo sets, you can either browse through the entire collection through the Istan Boys content tab, or there is a separate drop-down menu with all the models listed alphabetically. Still though, unless you know what model specifically you're looking for, you'll basically be clicking on every name until you find a boy that suits your fancy. Istan Boys would be much improved if it linked associated videos and pictures to a central model page rather than having the videos listed separately and only identified by title and playback type.

How is Istan Boys unique?

Well, there definitely are not a lot of sites out there featuring Arabic, Middle Eastern, or similar exotic ethnicities. Because of this, I was quite excited to learn about Istan Boys. The content they have is indeed representative of the alluring pull of these gorgeous guys and the models are beautiful, enticing, and sexy but I found it a bit tedious to navigate through and it left me wanting to give up rather than explore the full rich content of all the models.
