Videos and more videos

Dudetube

A site I visit almost daily. This site is technically so well created it could almost be professional (although if it was I wouldn't be a visitor!!). A VAST array of screen grabs from all over the 'net and a multitude of amateur videos. He also uses the site to expresses his love for Comic books and comic book based art.

Originally this site was on my primary list. I would visit daily and I would watch all the videos and look at all the screen captures from the various sites Matt must have memberships to. He has a prolific posting regime, rarely misses as day and if you haven't seen the post for a few days do not expect to be able to catch up just be looking at the main post - a delve into the archives will be required.

Initially I LOVEd this site - here was a guy taking all the effort out of searching x-tube and porntube etc to find interesting vids and his captures of the guys with cams and fratpad images are really cool. This saves me time and effort which is a good thing because I am not always able to spend as much time as I would like on the 'net. I respect his diligence and professionalism when releasing the screen grabs and the videos - awesome work!

Of late, however have found myself visiting less often. When I am there I tend to scan the videos looking for something of interest, Which for me means something different from all the standard solo jerk off videos - the recent fleshlight series of vids was a particular favourite.
The fratpad and other pay site images are superb quality thumbnails gathered together in one image, they really give a flavour of the guys on these sites. BUT, and here is my main reason for Dudetube not being as high up my favourite list as it once was, it feels like I am reading advertising or product placement! I don't think it is and to his credit Matt does kinda give a brief reason why he likes each of the sites and the specific captures or guys, but it still has that preview tour about it. Placed in a high traffic blog merely to entice you into the sites for more.

Maybe he is on commission (or free memberships! 8-) if not it might be worth contacting the providers and entering negotiations!! Haha). The links do not look like affiliate links of any sort so I although if he is, this is not necessarily a bad thing and I say good luck to him - he certainly deserves some recognition and recompense for the effort puts into the blog.

My overall main gripe (too strong a word - niggle is better) with dudetube though is that I know very little about the actual blogger, his day, his frustrations or traumas, his likes or dislikes are a mystery to me. I can't connect with him.

Am I outgrowing amateur porn vids? Don't think so although I try to watch them on fast forward or jump though the vid manually. I do this with almost all my porn vids, even the professional ones - strange but true!! Am outgrowing pics of cute/handsome, hot boys - NO! but am I finding the blogs of real people and their highs and lows more enjoyable than watching another solo JO vid - Yep, most definitely, I am.

If you need a portal to gay imagery and videos - Is this is the place for you? In my opinion and this is based on the limited number of blogs have visited so far, I would have to say YES, YES, YES. Enjoy the eye candy but don't try to see too deeply into the life of the blog poster it ain't gonna happen.

It will remain on my fav blog list and I will try to visit daily if only to see what this blog should technically aspire to.
