Brash – full of fresh raw vitality. Damn, even the definition oozes sexuality. Just like the site. So kudos to the name branders at Brashboys.com. The guys aren’t exactly boys, but they are mostly younger, muscled, pretty 20somethings all at their sexual peak. There are a few slightly older, more rugged guys, but they're all still fresh, raw and vital. The videos have got pretty involved stories, or at least setups, with action sequences and stunts and enough variety that you don’t get stuck with the same kiss/suck/fuck formula over and over. You don’t need to watch the whole movie to know what’s going on since fortunately the scenes are almost completely self-contained.
The videos are from an actual studio – Ikarus Studios – so expect polished production values that fortunately don’t translate into sterile, uninspired sex. Though they aren’t all perfect. One leather/BDSM video, for instance, is all well and good, but it’s almost too sanitized and safe to be believable as anything other than vanilla sex with some window dressing. And the boys are too pretty. But then you’ve got something like the writhing orgy set to “Arabian Nights.” The sex builds to a bigger frenzy and the whole sumptuous sheikh tent just makes it beautifully exotic. One thing I do have to admit is that the titles of the videos aren’t very…brash. Just pulling from one of the video pages you’ve got: “Sweaty Gay Jocks Fucking in a Sauna”, “Gay Couple Playing with Food”, “Great Sex after the Party.” You get the idea. They pretty much just describe the scenes, but hey that works. Right now you’ll find almost 60 videos. There's also just under 80 models all with plenty of photo sets, both posed and those taken with their action scenes.
And they’ve got an eye for modern technology, whether streaming or downloading. The streaming video interface is easy to use and looks great, while the downloadable videos come in a variety of flavors depending on how you’re supposed to view them rather than being in the usual low, medium and high quality. There’s iPod, iPhone, WMV, Quicktime and “Standard Resolution.” For the average viewer, I suppose? Fortunately you get to see the file size and the video rate before downloading to get an idea of the quality and resolution. iPhone’s the lowest and Quicktime’s the highest, though none of them are really low quality. I’ll leave the rest of the scale to you to figure out.
There’s only one real gripe in that the downloadable videos almost seem disconnected from the rest of the site. They’re in a separate section from the video descriptions themselves, and going to the videos from browsing the models only takes you to the streaming and if you If you get to the video from the actor list you’ll only be taken to the streaming videos. There’s supposedly a bonus page, but so far there’s nothing in it. Maybe the site’s too new. They do have a small erotic stories section which is all right, but there’s not much there. And you’ve got links to a number of other sites you get access to as well including Bulldogpit.com, Alphamalefuckers.com and a number of condom free specialty sites.
They seem to update every few days, so with all the features, the hot guys and the steaming sex, you get your money’s worth. Like most words, brash has a few definitions. Another meaning is: heedless of the consequences. Well, now that you’ve got an idea of how good the site is, you won’t have to be brash if you’re thinking about spending the money to join. Leave that to the hot boys fucking at the drop of a hat on your screen.
