I’m going to say a few things about the top rated overseas porn company that I don’t think a lot of people will want to admit, but will no doubt agree with: the photographs are better than the final product. There, I said it. Since its inception, Bel Ami has been one of the number one sources for hot gay erotic entertainment, and most porn lovers swear by the product. Certainly they have some of the finest boys ever to hit the porn screen and absolutely they have mastered the high gloss look of porn that has over time become the standard for the rest of the industry to follow. While BelAmiOnline.com follows this formula of excellence in most instances, the site also demonstrates and reiterates the fact about Bel Ami that still photos are the absolute, number one most important criteria that will decide whether a gay porn product is successful or not.
Bel Ami and BelAmiOnline.com have made sure that every single photograph is perfectly shot, and that the boys look so amazing that you will almost be fooled into thinking that these flawless gods will transcend on to film screen. Unfortunately, often times they don’t, and that is the major drawback about the company. Yes, the boys are hot with their perfect hairless bodies and their gorgeous white teeth, but on video they lose some of the magic that the photos have promised. The sex tends to be less than stellar which, let's face it, is why we watch porn.
Since the success of Bel Ami, many other huge stateside porn companies like Falcon, Colt, and Channel 1 have noticed that a perfect photo may even be more important than a great sex scene because you buy a product because of the promise made from the box cover or still photographs. Hours of time and energy go into making each shot flawless using brilliant lighting and expensive photoshopping to create an almost impossible fantasy.
Staying true to their successful marketing strategy, BelAmiOnline.com has around 500 expertly shot, full layouts depicting some of the sexiest boy-next-door types you will find anywhere. Each man is sweeter and cuter than the last, and all of them look as though they were carved out of butter with their perfect physiques, rock hard cocks and nice round asses.
There are also over 1,600 scenes that range from condom free orgies, to three ways, to love making duos and solos. The videos aren’t as impressive as the photos, but the boys do their best to overcome the grainer quality of the sound and picture. There are featured interviews with the boys, videos of backstage antics, a detailed blog and forum that fans can read and contribute too, as well as a few bonus scenes from other sites. The site is well organized and very easy to use allowing several different downloading options and viewing choices.
The site seems to be absolutely perfect, but after a close look, you find that all of the boys look exactly the same, which can be a little boring and predictable after a while. The sex is pretty standard and the guys just aren’t as sexually charged on film as they are in pictures.
BelAmiOnline.com is a very successful site on almost all fronts, but it provides a lesson to other porn companies who want to reach the same level. A great photographer is the key to success in the porn business. Without one, it doesn’t matter what kind of product you have because no one will even take a second look. (I now expect a royalty fee from all industry photographers, thank you, LOL!)
