Top Shelf Studs 
We're not sure what "Top Shelf" has to do with Studs but the end result is obvious -- muscular twentysomething guys having sex in high-definition video and high-resolution pictures.

April 28, 2009
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. Read full review

"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

Comments
By our rough estimate perhaps half the sex on this website is bareback.
Trial memberships do not have the ability to download videos. During the first month of a regular membership users can download up to 24 video scenes. In subsequent months users can download 48 per month. This number is only full-length scenes, and not the clips of part of a scene. Because of this limit, we recommend users stream the video for a while to find a scene they like, then download the entire scene (not just a clip of part of the scene) in the resolution available.
Please note that the default "broadband" resolution isn't the highest -- you have to switch it to HD to get high-definition. Make sure you have the right resolution or you'll waste one of the downloads of your "monthly scene allotment". The downloads will take a while (perhaps 20 minutes per scene) on a high-speed connection, but the quality of the video is worth the wait.
