At this time of year you've probably noticed (at least we have) that online video sites have become just as competitive as other mainstream and adult media when it comes to vying for your attention. In recent years sites have been known to introduce hot new guys, show long-awaited pairings, post extra-length videos, capitalize on the holiday theme or a combo of two or more of these elements.  Here we'll be presenting a sample of this year's offerings from various sites.

  As you'll see this year it seems that one or two guys in a video isn't enough to be considered special no matter who the performers are. Three-ways? Yes, there are sites that still consider these to be noteworthy as you'll see below. But nowadays it seems that for a site to really get attention it has to go to the orgy theme.

 Active Duty. As we mentioned yesterday,this site has its annual Active Duty Live Christmas video, streaming now.  We need to add that Active Duty has really done a bang-up job of marketing this past year and making a membership very attractive. The addition of access to Barrett Long's www.xxxamateurhour, My Straight Buddy, and Dirty Bird Pictures is pretty hard to beat, especially considering the quality of movies coming out of Dirty Bird. 

            

 Sean Cody. Like last year the site went on location for a desert getaway and brought a group of studly models to play around. This year's finale wasn't an orgy. It was merely a three-way but it did include Trey, Rylan, and Curtis. Rylan is the only openly gay one of the bunch and the most hung. However Trey & Mitch (whose sexualities are still questionable) are wonderfully good sports in terms of doing whatever the site asks them to do. Besides, we could watch Trey read the phone book and think it was hot. It goes without saying that when we compile our list of favorite models for our year-end report, Sean Cody will be well represented. 

               

   Cocksure Men. This Jake Cruise companion site debuted with a 7 man orgy, which included Leo Giamani who is arguably the newcomer of the year. Cocksure Men also just presented a slow-burning sizzler featuring Jeremy Bilding (another "IT" stud) &  Jake Wolfe doing it in a hammock on a sultry summer afternoon. Both of these outdoors videos were a departure for Jake who usually films indoors. Besides, these videos were different just enough from the Jake Cruise brand to start of with its own identity. 

 Randy Blue. This site makes a habit of doing special videos throughout the year but last week's The Lockerroom was still mighty special. First it's more that twice as long as a normal video (it clocks in at over 40 minutes!)and has 5 of the site's top studs. Yes, Leo Giamani is one of the bunch which leads us to believe from here and Cocksure Men that he has a thing for orgies. There's also Colby Keller, Jeremy Walker, Eddie Diaz, and Lucky Daniels. No slouches here for sure.  From the press The Lockerroom looked like it was going to be like the classic Slip 'n' Slide It In  from Randy Blue in April of 2007. This one goes even further with shower shenanigans, glory hole action and more. No matter how many videos we get a chance to see, a quality video stands out and this one does big time!

  Bentley Race. This hot Aussie site plays with the holiday theme in a funny video "Santa Forced Me". Sexy Troy writes a letter to Santa and gets his wish granted...in person. A sexy Santa & a not-so diminutive elf helper visit Troy, tie him up and have their way with him. Aside from the fact that Bentley Race has a unique collection of studs. this is also a damn fun site.

 Next Door Buddies is the one site in the Next Door family (it sounds so sweet, eh?) that has had more opportunity to do the multi-performer video and it DOES have several hot three-ways, gangbangs, and orgies in their archives with Mason Wyler's Bukkake being the most recent--his co-stars were Trevor, Marcus, Billy & Chad. Apparently members have been clamoring for more scenes with lots of guys so this week Next Door Buddies will present Patrick Rouge getting topped by Christian Wilde, Zack Cook, Anthony Smith and Beaux.
We've never hesitated once about recommending Next Door Studios for entertainment or economically speaking.

 This is just the beginning. We expect more sites to do something like the examples from above. For example, last year Maskurbate did a holiday theme so we expect it do it again this year. Stay tuned.
