Austin Wilde Review

On the Next Door Studios network, Austin Wilde is what you'd consider a legacy site. Meaning he, like some of his fellow studs including Marcus Mojo and Trystan Bull, no longer shoot new content. But even if he hasn't updated for quite some time now, he added some interracial scenes that sizzle to this very day.

The network has changed over the years to include more straight and bi guys along with becoming more ethnically diverse. But back before updates ended on AustinWilde in 2012, he was one of the few openly gay men working for the company. And that played a part in him deciding to move on. However, it also means that his scenes stand the test of time because they deliver a heat that some of the gay-for-performers of his time couldn't compete with.

You'll find 66 videos to stream and download. Some of the oldest ones are in a single SD format, but 60 of them are in HD or Full HD in addition to other resolutions. You can also check out 63 photo galleries and download them in Zip files.

When it comes to usability, doing an initial basic search is the key to revealing more advanced options with your results. You have tags at your disposal along with sorting options and category filters. You can rate and comment on the videos as well as the men and both can be saved as favorites. That isn't true of the photos, though. Each video can be added to a "watch later" playlist or you can create one made up of all of a performer's scenes.

You might feel like all those browsing tools are overkill for a collection this size, but the bonus sites give you over 3,000 more scenes. Sites like Next Door Buddies and Next Door Raw continue to grow and even bring you 4K videos. And even if Next Door Ebony isn't updating as regularly, at least it's bringing you more diverse action - both all-black and interracial. Be sure to check out the forum and the network's various social media accounts. You've also got a DVD store, discounts to other sites and live cam feeds.

Austin Wilde delivers the kind of passion and raw same-sex attraction that many of this network's scenes lack. And even though he's moved on to other projects, the scenes he's left behind continue to be worthwhile. The other network sites might convince you to stay around longer and it's nice to see that they're more diverse than they were back in Austin's day.
