Does Top Shelf Studs deliver what it promises on the outside?
Top Shelf Studs is one of several sites in the Male Spectrum line-up. The site promises nearly 400 hours of porn. There isn't that much porn on Top Shelf Studs, but joining the site provides access to the whole Male Spectrum family of sites, so the claim is accurate.Studs is also an accurate description of the models featured on the site. The men are good looking twenty to thirty somethings. No skinny twinks here. There are several pages in the free preview that accurately show what members will find inside.
What's good about Top Shelf Studs? What needs improvement?
The home page has a latest news box with staff picks, up and coming stars, and notes on clips with the highest user ratings, and other news. Clicking a news item takes you to a list of previous news updates but, unfortunately, there are no links connecting to the videos mentioned. The only way to find the video being highlighted is to do a model search.Each of the Top Shelf Studs videos have a paragraph describing the scene and the age of "star" model. The videos have a simple story line that plays out before the sex. Some of the models are better actors than others when it comes to the speaking parts. The sex, fortunately, is hot despite any weak acting. Production values are generally strong.
There are photos associated with the videos. There is no provision to download the photos as a set.
Members can rate the content and bookmark favorite content. Many of Top Shelf Studs models can be found on several of the Male Spectrum sites.
How is Top Shelf Studs unique?
The execution is well done, even if there is nothing new in the theme.What do paying users recieve for their money?
Top Shelf Studs is a strong contender with access to all of the Male Spectrum sites and lots of additional sites as well. There is a 3-day trial membership option is less than the cost of a Starbucks venti, and a great way to test the site. The only downside might be for those looking for a lot of ethnic diversity in the models.Other GayGeek reviews of Top Shelf Studs

"Top Shelf Studs features the ultimate in stud on stud action. Packed tight with the best of the best studs. Gay Sex Videos of Hung Studs fucking other hot muscle boys..."
This is what is offered on the front page of the site, and is pretty much what you get inside. The site does boast of over 20 updates per week, but I think they have to be referring to their sister and bonus sites as well, as there is not that much content on this site itself. Read full review
