Initial review: 8/18/2005 - Updated on: 7/28/2008

Sorry but there are just too many nautical double entendres to resist. All joking aside, what you get at GaysAboard is something strangely different from many reality sites; you actually get real people. Rarely, especially in the gay genre of porn do you see men that could pass for anyone on the street. There aren't any pretty guys or muscle men here, just average people with regular sized dicks trying to get it on. As you keep reading, in retrospect some of these guys seem not only real, but also most likely straight.

That's all good stuff, but what isn't as great is the fact that it has been a couple of years since this site last got an update. This is a sad state of affairs, indeed.

There are 40 episodes and it seems like this number is unlikely to change since the last update was months and months ago. Each one comes with at least 150 screenshots, which are somewhat blurry and not very big, but give you an idea of what's inside the films.

The 40 movies come in AVI format and are downloadable in several short clips or in full-length files lasting about 20-30 minutes max. I cannot hide my disappointment about some of the scenes I witnessed. It was like watching extremely bad soft-core porn. Much of the intercourse seemed to be simulated and there were no shots of penetration just men rubbing crotches against boys' butts. Some clips were more graphic showing at least some close-up cock sucking and you still got some soft dicks shooting loads every episode.

It was a bizarre experience to keep seeing the camera panning to faces screwed up in unconvincing grimaces of pleasure and I almost forgot to mention the subtitles, which were large and laced with "Ahhh" as well as catchy phrases like "Do me harder my Captain." One interesting point is how close it was shot to the shoreline of some beautiful old European city; the scenery is more impressive then the action on this sad vessel.

What is lacking in the main site content may be at least partially compensated by getting free access (for a limited time) to Gays Chief another reality site from the same company that looks interesting. In addition, you get access to Gold X Pass with your Gays Aboard membership, which is a vast network including a least 500 gay websites, most of which are video and picture feeds. Overall, I would say that Gays Aboard is a bit of a letdown, unless you want to see gay soft-core porn done like some of the straight late night soft porn you can see on cable TV.
