Cholo is a term used for a tough Mexican gangster. From the videos, a lot of these guys are rough, dangerous types. Just to better get that point across, a few scenes even take place in jail cells. Now that’s hardcore. They aren’t all gangsters though—mainly only the exclusive videos can be called that—so the whole Cholo thing can be misleading if that’s all you signed up for. At the very least, they are all Latin. But they’ve got twinks, hunks and rough trade all mixed together here; hot guys, average-looking guys and, well, Mr. Fatal. Not bad, but it does play kind of fast and loose with the theme.
That said, the site seems to be a bit schizophrenic in its content which could be why some of these guys are in jail… In any case, something like this really has to be broken down into two categories: the high quality exclusive videos, and all the rest. As for CholoLovers.com’s own content, these are rough guys, who like it rough, know what they want and know how to take it. Good stuff. There are even some surprises, and the alpha males aren’t always on top, though they love talking dirty in two languages. These are all available for download, in addition to streaming in medium, high and HD quality. And yes, they look damn good in HD.
The rest of the videos are hit or miss. The best of them have guys going at each other with raw desperation, muttering obscenities in Spanish that it doesn’t really matter if you understand because the tone lets you know exactly what they’re saying. Others can be downright dull at times, something all the more jarring contrasted against the intensity of the rest. Most of these come from sites within the site network, and the high quality is fine, but when offered next to HD, it comes across as lacking. A few of them stream as single files and can be downloaded. A fairly large portion of the videos, however, are split up into seven parts, both for streaming and downloading. Fairly annoying, having to start and stop a video seven times to get through it. No matter how hot the action, it slows down considerably when broken up like that.
Another problem is the updating. They’re up to about twice a month, which is not a whole lot, especially when you’re not guaranteed exclusive content. They were lucky enough to “update” during our viewing, which simply involved recycling a video from the last page and putting it at the top of the list. Members do get access to bonus sites too numerous to list, most of which you’re probably already familiar with, and a lot with interchangeable content. For the sheer volume of sites you get access to, $29.95 isn’t a bad price, but it probably isn’t worth sticking around more than a month since most of this stuff just gets recycled over and over again.
